New Features

  • add Repository::diff_tree_to_tree() for greater similarity to git2

  • add gix merge-file with similar features as git merge-file

  • add Repository::blob_merge_options() to obtain options for merging blobs and Repository::diff_algorithm()

  • Repository::merge_resource_cache() to obtain the foundation for merging files directly.

  • make implicit free-list more controllable
    This is done by three new Repository methods:

    • empty_reusable_buffer() - hook into the free-list yourself.
  • set_freelist() - enable or initialize the free-list.
  • without_freelist() - a builder to disable the freelist from the start.

Bug Fixes

  • make GIT_WORK_TREE variable work as expected.
    Now it's picked up durign initialization.
  • improve directory matching
    Previously the sorting wasn't accounted for, so an assumption about
    the order of changes weren't actually true.
  • don't be too generous when extrapolating worktree directories.
    Previously it was possible that a non-bare repository that didn't have
    worktree directory incorrectly claimed it had one.
  • don't unconditionally stuff fetch-specs if these are already present.
    Previously, we'd always add 'default' refspecs, even though ref-specs
    might already have been present.
    Now we only do this if there were no refspecs prior, and that might
    still be more than Git does. I wonder where this requirement came from,
    except that it might help with tests.
  • Don't bail out if there are extra-refspecs.
  • make rev_walk available even without the revision feature.
    Technically it doesn't depend on it.

Other

  • Update gitoxide repository URLs
    This updates Byron/gitoxide URLs to GitoxideLabs/gitoxide in:

    • Markdown documentation, except changelogs and other such files
      where such changes should not be made.

    • Documentation comments (in .rs files).

    • Manifest (.toml) files, for the value of the repository key.

    • The comments appearing at the top of a sample hook that contains
      a repository URL as an example.

    When making these changes, I also allowed my editor to remove
    trailing whitespace in any lines in files already being edited
    (since, in this case, there was no disadvantage to allowing this).

    The gitoxide repository URL changed when the repository was moved
    into the recently created GitHub organization GitoxideLabs, as
    detailed in #1406. Please note that, although I believe updating
    the URLs to their new canonical values is useful, this is not
    needed to fix any broken links, since Byron/gitoxide URLs
    redirect (and hopefully will always redirect) to the coresponding
    GitoxideLabs/gitoxide URLs.

    While this change should not break any URLs, some affected URLs
    were already broken. This updates them, but they are still broken.
    They will be fixed in a subsequent commit.

    This also does not update Byron/gitoxide URLs in test fixtures
    or test cases, nor in the Makefile. (It may make sense to change
    some of those too, but it is not really a documentation change.)

New Features (BREAKING)

  • optional rename tracking for directories.
    Depending on the source of the rename-information, items that are children
    of renamed parents may be provided to enable rename tracking based on these
    containers, instead of always resorting to tracking leaf nodes (i.e. blobs).

  • Support for 'fast-tracking' reaching the beginning of the commit-graph during traversals.
    It's implemented by sorting commits oldest first when choosing the next one to traverse,
    which can greatly reduce the time it takes to reach the first commit of a graph.

  • optionally store objects new objects in memory only.
    The default object database changed to a version that allows to
    keep objects in memory. This needs a mutable Repository instance
    to setup.

  • Do not let revision::walk::Platform rely on plumbing crate types.
    This is a step towards a more stable API, but also, will allow using
    different implementations.

    Notably, this replaces gix_traverse::commit::simple::Sorting with
    gix::revision::walk::Sorting.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

  • improve error messages when failing to find references.
    It's breaking due to changes in the error type.

  • unify location of error type of Repository::diff_resource_cache().

  • Tree::lookup_entry() looses its buf argument.
    The buffer will now be previded from the free-list of the repository.

  • remove all workspace dependencies
    The problem is that with them, we don't notice anymore if the crate changes,
    because a dependency changes. That also means that older versions of the dependency
    may stay even though some other crates might pick up a newer version.

    Ultimately, this will lead to drift and subtle incompatibilities.

    We declare this breaking to enforce a proper re-release.

Refactor (BREAKING)

  • always trackt he full path when producing diffs, but allow to disable it.
  • Use the new tree_with_rewrites plumbing implementation.
    This merges object::tree::diff::change::Event into object::tree::diff::Change
    as well.
