v0.64.0: gix v0.64.0

Compare Source

New Features

• enable tracing with the new tracing feature in the Cargo manifest.
  That way, it's easier to directly enable tracing, instead of having to
  resort to gix-features.
• add config::section::filter() for the default section filter.
  Provide the default implementation to determine which configuration
  sections should be trusted.
• provide config::credential_helpers() function to configure an invocation.
  That way it's possible to use git credential helpers even without a Repository instance.
• export gix_validate as validate.
  The crate appears in the public API of gix_index::State::from_tree
  but it's types weren't readily available.
• add PrepareFetch::with_ref_name() to control which ref is checked out.

Bug Fixes

• make sure that refs/heads/HEAD isn't considered conflicting

• re-export gix_validate as it's now part of the public API.
  This allows calling State::from_tree().

• don't attempt negotiation without any refspec-mappings
  Previously, when a shallow operation was specified, it was possible
  to skip past the no-change test and attempt to negotiate even though
  there was nothing to want.

  This is now 'fixed' by simply aborting early if there is no refspec
  mapping at all.

  Further, it aborts as early as possible with a nicer error message,
  after all, there is no use in having no mapping.

  Note that it's explicitly implemented such that obtaining such an empty
  refmap is fine, but trying to receive it is not. That way, the user can
  obtain information about the server without anything being an error.

• gate parking_lot behind interrupt feature

New Features (BREAKING)

• gix-config convenience initiative
  A new gix_config::AsKey trait allows all gix_config::File methods
  to receive an implementation of AsKey instead of the tuple of
  (section, subsection, value_name). This is the default, and all
  methods that take a tuple have been renamed to <name>_by(), note the _by suffix.

  The terminology was reworked so that key is now only used to identify a value.

  This change also affects the public API of gix, which provides
  ways to set values on configuration snapshots which now by default
  will only take a AsKey implementation.

  Note that gix::config::tree::* keys now also implement AsKey,
  which allows them to be used more conveniently when setting values,
  too.
