In Git 2.39, Git.pm stopped working in a bare repository, which has been corrected. * jk/git-pm-bare-repo-fix: Git.pm: use "rev-parse --absolute-git-dir" rather than perl code Git.pm: fix bare repository search with Directory option

Git.pm: use "rev-parse --absolute-git-dir" rather than perl code

2024-09-13T17:42:22Z

When we open a repository with the "Directory" option, we use "rev-parse --git-dir" to get the path relative to that directory, and then use Cwd::abs_path() to make it absolute (since our process working directory may not be the same). These days we can just ask for "--absolute-git-dir" instead, which saves us a little code. That option was added in Git v2.13.0 via a2f5a87626 (rev-parse: add '--absolute-git-dir' option, 2017-02-03). I don't think we make any promises about running mismatched versions of git and Git.pm, but even if somebody tries it, that's sufficiently old that it should be OK.

Git.pm: fix bare repository search with Directory option

2024-09-13T17:42:19Z

When opening a bare repository like: Git->repository(Directory => '/path/to/bare.git'); we will incorrectly point the repository object at the _current_ directory, not the one specified by the option. The bug was introduced by 20da61f25f (Git.pm: trust rev-parse to find bare repositories, 2022-10-22). Before then, we'd ask "rev-parse --git-dir" if it was a Git repo, and if it returned anything, we'd correctly convert that result to an absolute path using File::Spec and Cwd::abs_path(). If it didn't, we'd guess it might be a bare repository and find it ourselves, which was wrong (rev-parse should find even a bare repo, and our search circumvented some of its rules). That commit dropped most of the custom bare-repo search code in favor of using "rev-parse --is-bare-repository" and trusting the "--git-dir" it returned. But it mistakenly left some of the bare-repo code path in place, which was now broken. That code calls Cwd::abs_path($dir); prior to 20da61f25f $dir contained the "Directory" option the user passed in. But afterwards, it contains the output of "rev-parse --git-dir". And since our tentative rev-parse command is invoked after changing directory, it will always be the relative path "."! So we'll end up with the absolute path of the process's current directory, not the Directory option the caller asked for. So the non-bare case is correct, but the bare one is broken. Our tests only check the non-bare one, so we didn't notice. We can fix this by running the same absolute-path fixup code for both sides.

git-svn: add public property `svn:global-ignores`

2024-07-18T22:48:06Z

Subversion 1.8 added a new property `svn:global-ignores`. It contains a list of patterns used to determine what files should be ignored. If Git-SVN is going to ignore these files as well, it is important that we do not skip over directories that have this property set. Signed-off-by: Alex Galvin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8.1 from 5.8.0

2023-11-16T22:26:32Z

The following commit will make use of a Getopt::Long feature which is only present in Perl >= 5.8.1. Document that as the minimum version we support. Many of our Perl scripts will continue to run with 5.8.0 but this change allows us to adjust them as needed without breaking any promises to our users. The Perl requirement was last changed in d48b284183 (perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21], 2010-09-24). At that time, 5.8.0 was 8 years old. It is now over 21 years old.
