gix-fs v0.11.2

Bug Fixes

• Always fall back to creating file symlinks on Windows When the metadata of a symlink's target cannot be obtained, even if the error is something other than NotFound, this falls back to creating file symbolic links. This only affects scenarios where either the checkout would fail entirely or where the symlink would have been treated as a collision and skipped (even though it was not really a collision, since only its target had an error). Other cases are not affected, and all exisitng scenarios where directory symlink would be created will still create directory symlinks.

  This builds on 31d02a8 (#1363) by supporting dangling symlinks even when the target filenames are unusual, such as when the name is invalid or reserved. Windows permits such symlinks to be created, and going ahead and creating the matches the Git behavior.

  This should also support other errors beisdes NotFound. For example, some permissions-related errors, in some cases where traversal or acccess (even to access metadata) are not allowed, would fail to create a symlink. This should address that as well.

  This works by using Path::is_dir() in the standard library, which automatically converts all errors (not just NotFound) into false. The logic here is thus quite similar to what was already present, just more tolerant, even though the code itself is shorter and simpler.

  This fixes #1420, and also fixes #1421.

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

0.37.0 (2024-07-23)

New Features

• add mailmap check similar to git check-mailmap. That way it becomes a little easier to maybe try out other special cases in the wild.
• gix clone with --ref support. --ref is similar to --branch, but was renamed as it also supports tags for example.

Other

• Make it easier to compile gitoxide as dynlib And also optimize compilation time: By making plumbing and porcelain as modules the lib.rs, they can be compiled after the rmeta for the dependencies are generated.

  For the uni.rs which uses both plumbing and porcelain, this would avoid compiling these two modules twice.
