git-repository v0.20.0

on GitHub

New Features

• respect safe.directory.
  In practice, this code will rarely be hit as it would require very
  strict settings that forbid any operation within a non-owned git
  directory.
• permissions for configuration.
  It provides fine-grained control over what sources to load.
• git-config is now accessible in git-repository::config.
• gix config lists all entries of all configuration files git considers.
  Filters allow to narrow down the output.
• repository now initializes global configuration files and resolves includes
• resolve includes in local repository configuration
• config::Snapshot::trusted_path() to obtain trustworthy paths.
  We also apply trust-based config query during initialization to assure
  we don't use paths which aren't owned by the current user.
• Repository::config_snapshot() to access configuration values.
• Use git-config to write config file on initialization, including logallrefupdates and precomposeunicode.
• respect core.logallrefupdates configuration setting.

Changed (BREAKING)

• Make SignatureRef<'_> mandatory for editing reference changelogs.
  If defaults are desired, these can be set by the caller.

• Repository::committer() now returns an Option, see ::committer_or_default() for a method that doesn't.

• remove local-time-support feature toggle.
  We treat local time as default feature without a lot of fuzz, and
  will eventually document that definitive support needs a compile
  time switch in the compiler (--cfg unsound_local_offset or something).

  One day it will perish. Failure is possible anyway and we will write
  code to deal with it while minimizing the amount of system time
  fetches when asking for the current local time.

• Associate file::Metadata with each File.
  This is the first step towards knowing more about the source of each
  value to filter them based on some properties.

  This breaks various methods handling the instantiation of configuration
  files as file::Metadata typically has to be provided by the caller
  now or be associated with each path to read configuration from.

New Features (BREAKING)

• Support for lossy load mode.
  There is a lot of breaking changes as file::from_paths::Options now
  became file::init::Options, and the same goes for the error type.
• change mostily internal uses of [u8] to BString/BStr
