The superficial aspect of this change is that git-daemon now allows paths
that start with a "~". Previously, if git-daemon was run with
"--base-path=/srv/git", it was impossible to get it to serve
"/srv/git/~foo/bar.git". An odd edge-case that was broken.
But from a source-code standpoint, the change is in path.c:enter_repo(). I
have adjusted it to take separate "strict_prefix" and "strict_suffix"
arguments, rather than a single "strict" argument.
I also make it clearer what the purpose of each path buffer is for, by
renaming them to chdir_path and ret_path; chdir_path is the path that we
pass to chdir(); return_path is the path we return to the user. Using this
nomenclature, we can more easily explain the behavior of the function.
There are 3 DWIM measures that enter_repo() provides: tilde expansion,
suffix guessing, and gitfile expansion; it also trims trailing slashes.
Here is how they are applied to each path:
+--+++
| Before this commit | chdir_path | ret_path |
+--+++
| trim trailing slashes| !strict| !strict|
| tilde expansion | !strict| false |
| suffix guessing | !strict| !strict|
| gitfile expansion (< 2.6.3) | !strict| false |
| gitfile expansion (>= 2.6.3) | true | strict |
+--+++
| With this commit | chdir_path | ret_path |
+--+++
| trim trailing slashes| true | true |
| tilde expansion | !strict_prefix | false |
| suffix guessing | !strict_suffix | !strict_suffix |
| gitfile expansion| true | false |
+--+++
The separation of "strict" into "strict_prefix" and "strict_suffix" is
necessary for git-daemon because it has separate --strict-paths (affects
prefix and suffix) and --user-path (just prefix) flags that can be toggled
separately.
In the other programs where enter_repo() is called, I continued the
existing behavior of tying the prefix and suffix strictness together
together; though I am not entirely sure that they should all be enabling
tilde expansion. But for now, their behavior hasn't changed.
