* Revert "add catFileIndex"Gravatar Joey Hess2012-09-15
| | | | | This interface is not a good idea, because a running git cat-file --batch does not notice when existing files in the index are changed.

* avoid ByteString.Char8 where not neededGravatar Joey Hess2012-06-20
| | | | | Its truncation behavior is a red flag, so avoid using it in these places where only raw ByteStrings are used, without looking at the data inside.

* detect and recover from branch push/commit raceGravatar Joey Hess2011-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dealing with a race without using locking is exceedingly difficult and tricky. Fully tested, I hope. There are three places left where the branch can be updated, that are not covered by the race recovery code. Let's prove they're all immune to the race: 1. tryFastForwardTo checks to see if a fast-forward can be done, and then does git-update-ref on the branch to fast-forward it. If a push comes in before the check, then either no fast-forward will be done (ok), or the push set the branch to a ref that can still be fast-forwarded (also ok) If a push comes in after the check, the git-update-ref will undo the ref change made by the push. It's as if the push did not come in, and the next git-push will see this, and try to re-do it. (acceptable) 2. When creating the branch for the very first time, an empty index is created, and a commit of it made to the branch. The commit's ref is recorded as the current state of the index. If a push came in during that, it will be noticed the next time a commit is made to the branch, since the branch will have changed. (ok) 3. Creating the branch from an existing remote branch involves making the branch, and then getting its ref, and recording that the index reflects that ref. If a push creates the branch first, git-branch will fail (ok). If the branch is created and a racing push is then able to change it (highly unlikely!) we're still ok, because it first records the ref into the index.lck, and then updating the index. The race can cause the index.lck to have the old branch ref, while the index has the newly pushed branch merged into it, but that only results in an unnecessary update of the index file later on.
* improve type signatures with a Ref newtypeGravatar Joey Hess2011-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | In git, a Ref can be a Sha, or a Branch, or a Tag. I added type aliases for those. Note that this does not prevent mixing up of eg, refs and branches at the type level. Since git really doesn't care, except rare cases like git update-ref, or git tag -d, that seems ok for now. There's also a tree-ish, but let's just use Ref for it. A given Sha or Ref may or may not be a tree-ish, depending on the object type, so there seems no point in trying to represent it at the type level.
* Optimised union merging; now only runs git cat-file once.Gravatar Joey Hess2011-11-12

* reorder repo parameters lastGravatar Joey Hess2011-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Many functions took the repo as their first parameter. Changing it consistently to be the last parameter allows doing some useful things with currying, that reduce boilerplate. In particular, g <- gitRepo is almost never needed now, instead use inRepo to run an IO action in the repo, and fromRepo to get a value from the repo. This also provides more opportunities to use monadic and applicative combinators.
