gix-index v0.23.0

on GitHub

New Features

• add State::prefixed_range() to obtain a range of entries matching a prefix.
  This makes it easier to make changes to entries of a certain prefix.
• add State::remove_entries() and entry_range().
  This makes it possible to, among other things, delete all
  occurrences of a particular entry.
• add support for write::Options::skip_hash.
  With it, a hash will not be produced for indices.

Bug Fixes

• gix-index prefix matching should now work correctly with conflicting files.
  It was done in a rush and lacks a lot of tests. At least now it
  has a greater chance of working, as tests that would truly validate
  this are still missing for a lack of test date. It can be produced
  with git update-index, but it wasn't yet worth it.

New Features (BREAKING)

• Check the hash when reading via File::at() just like git, or skip the check.
  Note that indices written with index.skipHash=true will be vastly
  faster to read by a factor of 2 or more.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• skip the null-hash when validating the index.
  This is needed for compatibility with index.skipHash, which may skip
  producing the hash at the end of the index file, just filling in the
  null-hash.
