gix v0.54.0

on GitHub

New Features

• Add PathspecDetached as pathspec that can more easily be used across threads.
• PathSpec implements gix_status::PathSpec to allow it to be used there.
  The reason we need a trait and can't do with simply a function is that multiple calls
  are needed to test for inclusion and allow the common-prefix optimization.
• add Repository::stat_options() to learn how an index would compare filesystem stats.
• add parallel feature toggle
  Make certain data structure threadsafe (or Sync) to facilitate multithreading.
  Further, many algorithms will now use multiple threads by default.
  If unset, most of gix can only be used in a single thread
  as data structures won't be Send anymore.

Bug Fixes

• do not trust ctime by default.
  On MacOS it seems to be off by two seconds right from the source, which
  seems to be an issue stat isn't having.
• ignore empty core.askpass settings
  This is the same as what git does, it's explicit per value, which
  means that other paths might be flagged as empty automatically.

Other

• add note about the trust-model.
  It should explain why gix is happy to open repositories that won't
  be handled by git unless overrides are set.

Test

• add assertion to assure ThreadSafeRepository is sync.
  If it doesn't appear to be sync, be sure to use the max-performance-safe feature.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• PrepareCheckout::main_worktree() now takes Progress as geric argument.
  This makes it more flexible and convenient, but is technically a breaking change.
