entry: report more colliding paths

2024-04-17T20:30:07Z

In b878579ae7 (clone: report duplicate entries on case-insensitive filesystems, 2018-08-17) code was added to warn about index entries that resolve to the same file system entity (usually the cause is a case-insensitive filesystem). In Git for Windows, where inodes are not trusted (because of a performance trade-off, inodes are equal to 0 by default), that check does not compare inode numbers but the verbatim path. This logic works well when index entries' paths differ only in case. However, for file/directory conflicts only the file's path was reported, leaving the user puzzled with what that path collides. Let's try ot catch colliding paths even if one path is the prefix of the other. We do this also in setups where the file system is case-sensitive because the inode check would not be able to catch those collisions. While not a complete solution (for example, on macOS, Unicode normalization could also lead to file/directory conflicts but be missed by this logic), it is at least another defensive layer on top of what the previous commits added.

dir: create untracked_cache_invalidate_trimmed_path()

2024-02-26T23:34:02Z

Create a wrapper function for untracked_cache_invalidate_path() that silently trims a trailing slash, if present, before calling the wrapped function. The untracked cache expects to be called with a pathname that does not contain a trailing slash. This can make it inconvenient for callers that have a directory path. Lets hide this complexity. This will be used by a later commit in the FSMonitor code which may receive directory pathnames from an FSEvent. Signed-off-by: Jeff Hostetler Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

dir.[ch]: add 'follow_symlink' arg to 'get_dtype'

2023-10-09T22:53:13Z

Add a 'follow_symlink' boolean option to 'get_type()'. If 'follow_symlink' is enabled, DT_LNK (in addition to DT_UNKNOWN) d_types triggers the stat-based d_type resolution, using 'stat' instead of 'lstat' to get the type of the followed symlink. Note that symlinks are not followed recursively, so a symlink pointing to another symlink will still resolve to DT_LNK. Update callers in 'diagnose.c' to specify 'follow_symlink = 0' to preserve current behavior. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

dir.[ch]: expose 'get_dtype'

2023-10-09T22:53:13Z

Move 'get_dtype()' from 'diagnose.c' to 'dir.c' and add its declaration to 'dir.h' so that it is accessible to callers in other files. The function and its documentation are moved verbatim except for a small addition to the description clarifying what the 'path' arg represents.
