gix v0.56.0

on GitHub

New Features

• add gitoxide.core.externalCommandStderr to allow enabling stderr to the enclosing terminal.
  Previously, this was enabled by default, now it can additionally be disabled by
  the caller.
• use gitoxide.credentials.helperStderr key to control how stderr is handled with helpers.
  That way users can configure each repository instance according to their needs,
  with which includes disabling the stderr of credential helpers.
• revision::Spec::path_and_mode()
  Provide additional information about revspecs for use with
  worktree filters.
• add key for diff.external.
  That way it's conceivable that applications correctly run either
  a configured external diff tool, or one that is configured on a
  per diff-driver basis, while being allowed to fall back to
  a built-in implementation as needed.
• add thediff::resource_cache() low-level utility for rapid in-memory diffing of combinations of resources.
  We also add the object::tree::diff::Platform::for_each_to_obtain_tree_with_cache() to pass a resource-cache
  for re-use between multiple invocation for significant savings.
• Add config value gitoxide.http.sslNoVerify
  This value can by overriden by GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY env variable. We use
  the value to override http.sslVerify when specifying ssl_verify in
  transport Options.
• In gix read http.sslVerify config value and pass it to gix-transport.
• add gitoxide.core.refsNamespace key and respect the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable.
  It's also provided as context value.
• make verbose-object-parsing-errors available in gix.
  That way, it's easy to create programs that are geared towards
  debugging repositories and finding invalid objects with detailed
  errors.
• add the gitoxide.credentials.terminalPrompt key to represent the GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT
  That way, it's easy to control the usage of terminals without using and environment.
• Add http-client-curl-rustls (CLI) and blocking-http-transport-curl-rustls (lib) features to avoid openssl.
  That way, we should be able to avoid crashes on certain CI configurations.
• add Head::try_into_peeled_object() and Head::peel_to_object_in_place()
  This makes it easier to peel to a specific object type, after
  all tags have been followed, without having to assume an intermediate
  commit.

Bug Fixes

• assure the correct repository is used for checkouts after clone.
  If this is not the case, it's possible for filters to run in the context of
  potential parent repositories, which then can have all kinds of issues.

  In case of git-lfs, for instance, it would try to download objects
  from the wrong repository.

• Allow multiple packs to be received one after another.
  Previously it would be difficult to perform another fetch operation on the
  same connection as the final flush packet after a pack wouldn't be consumed.

  This has now been mitigated by consuming it in the one place where knoweldge
  about this specialty exists.

• don't use trust-dns by default when using request.
  It's reported to have issues under certain condition, please see
  seanmonstar/reqwest#437 for more.

  The blocking-http-transport-reqwest-rust-tls-trust-dns feature was added
  to provide the same feature-set as before for those who want trust-dns.

• V1 negotiation won't hang anymore
  The logic previously tried to estimate when a pack can be expected,
  and when a NAK is the end of a block, or the beginning of a pack.

  This can be known because a pack (with our settings) needs two things:

  • the server thinks it's ready

• a done sent by the client

New Features (BREAKING)

• object::blob::diff::Platform now performs all necessary conversions.
  Previously it would just offer the git-ODB version of a blob for diffing,
  while it will now make it possible to apply all necessary conversion steps
  for you.

  This also moves Event::diff() to Change::diff(), adds
  Repository::diff_resource_cache() and refactors nearly everything
  about the objects::blob::diff::Platform.

• generalize rename-tracking engine for later use with status.
  Previously the rename tracking engine was integrated with tree-diffs,
  but already operates in a stand-alone fashion.
  Now it's officially generalized which allows it to be tested separately
  and used when tracking renames for diffs between index and tree, index
  and index, and index and worktree.

• make it possible to trace incoming and outgoing packetlines.
  Due to the way this is (and has to be) setup, unfortunately one
  has to integrate that with two crates, instead of just one.

  This changes touches multiple crates, most of which receive a single
  boolean as last argument to indicate whether the tracing should
  happen in the first place.

• improve head() peeling API
  Previously it was partially untested and it was hard to obtain an object of choice.

  Further breaking changes:

  • rename Head::peeled() to into_peeled_id()

• rename Head::into_fully_peeled_id() to try_peel_into_id()
• rename Head::peel_to_id_in_place() to Head::try_peel_to_id_in_place()

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• rename GITOXIDE_* environment variables to GIX_#
• Remove unsafe transmute of should_interrupt
  Adds a lifetime to the ExtendedBufRead trait to specify how long the
  callback provided must live.
