gix v0.71.0

on GitHub

Changed

• read config losslessly even without debug_assertions
  This should hopefully not be a breaking change, as the same code
  could produce the same behaviour if compiled with different flags,
  and the semantic meaning of the resulting configuration should be
  the same. But Hyrum’s law is always lurking…

Documentation

• specify ThreadSafeRepository is not Send/Sync without "parallel"

New Features

• add Repository::checkout_options().
  It's a low-level set of options to drive (quite unsafe) checkouts.
  They are unsafe as they may be configured to overwrite, and are in no
  way similar to git checkout.
• add Repository::head_tree_id_or_empty() for convenience.
• add Repository::workdir_path() to easily obtain a Path for worktree items.
• add Repository::workdir() as replacement for Repository::work_dir().
  Keep the latter as deprecated though.
• filter::Pipeline::worktree_file_to_object() now can add Commit type objects.
• add filter::Pipeline::worktree_file_to_object().
  That way it's easier to correctly add whole files into the object
  database.
• make internal repo fields public for ease of use.
  That way, functions or methods taking such a type as argument
  have access to the underlying repository so it doesn't need
  to be passed as separate argument.
• add blob::platform::Resource::intern_source_strip_newline_separators()
  That way it will be easier to have typical Git-style patches diffs around
  files that don't end with a newline.
• add Repository::big_file_threshold() to easily learn what Git considers a big file.

Bug Fixes

• Don't panic when rev-parsing ^^^ and similar

• filter::Pipeline::convert_to_git() now also works on Windows under all circumstances.

• assure Repository::commit_as() also uses the committer for reflogs
  Previously it would retrieve the configured committer, or trigger an error
  if there was none despite the commiter being provided to commit_as().

  This als adds Repository::edit_references_as(committer) to allow passing
  a given committer.

Other

• Repository::commit() now explains how to create a commit without ref updates.

Changed (BREAKING)

• drop obsolete SHA‐1 features
  The hashing API has moved to gix_hash::hasher, and we now use
  sha1-checked unconditionally.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• make clear what with_pruned() is doing by renaming it to with_boundary().
  This is how it acts, and it's not at all the same as hide() in git2.

Thanks Clippy

Clippy helped 1 time to make code idiomatic.
