Since we were not expecting this config entry to contain a string, we would fail as soon as its (cached) value would be accessed. Hence, provide some constants for the 4 states we use, and account for "always" when we decide to reflog changes.
Next to including several files, our "common.h" header also declares various macros which are then used throughout the project. As such, we have to make sure to always include this file first in all implementation files. Otherwise, we might encounter problems or even silent behavioural differences due to macros or defines not being defined as they should be. So in fact, our header and implementation files should make sure to always include "common.h" first. This commit does so by establishing a common include pattern. Header files inside of "src" will now always include "common.h" as its first other file, separated by a newline from all the other includes to make it stand out as special. There are two cases for the implementation files. If they do have a matching header file, they will always include this one first, leading to "common.h" being transitively included as first file. If they do not have a matching header file, they instead include "common.h" as first file themselves. This fixes the outlined problems and will become our standard practice for header and source files inside of the "src/" from now on.
Callers of `git_config__cvar` already handle the case where the function returns an error due to a failed configuration variable lookup, but we are actually swallowing errors when calling `git_config__lookup_entry` inside of the function. Fix this by returning early when `git_config__lookup_entry` returns an error. As we call `git_config__lookup_entry` with `no_errors == false` which leads us to call `get_entry` with `GET_NO_MISSING` we will not return early when the lookup fails due to a missing entry. Like this we are still able to set the default value of the cvar and exit successfully.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of the config entry, which you have to free when you're done. This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config. For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in a git_buf which the user then owns. The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
Validate HFS ignored char ".git" paths when `core.protectHFS` is specified. Validate NTFS invalid ".git" paths when `core.protectNTFS` is specified.
And decrease extra reload checks of config data.
This adds `git_config__lookup_entry` which will look up a key in a config and return either the entry or NULL if the key was not present. Optionally, it can either suppress all errors or can return them (although not finding the key is not an error for this function). Unlike other accessors, this does not normalize the config key string, so it must only be used when the key is known to be in normalized form (i.e. all lower-case before the first dot and after the last dot, with no invalid characters). This also adds three high-level helper functions to look up config values with no errors and a fallback value. The three functions are for string, bool, and int values, and will resort to the fallback value for any error that arises. They are: * `git_config__get_string_force` * `git_config__get_bool_force` * `git_config__get_int_force` None of them normalize the config `key` either, so they can only be used for internal cases where the key is known to be in normal format.
