sort_string_list(): rename to string_list_sort()

2014-11-25T18:11:34+00:00

The new name is more consistent with the names of other
string_list-related functions.

string-list: add string_list initializer helper function

2014-07-21T17:23:36+00:00

The string-list API has STRING_LIST_INIT_* macros to be used
to define variables with initializers, but lacks functions
to initialize an uninitialized piece of memory to be used as
a string-list at the run-time.
Introduce `string_list_init()` function for that.

string-list: spell all values out that are given to a string_list initializer

2014-06-06T20:49:19+00:00

STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only
for earlier structure members, relying on the usual
convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to
0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter:

	struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP;
	struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 };

and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is
initialized to NULL.

While there is nothing wrong in this construct, spelling out
all the values where the macros are defined will serve also
as a documentation, so let's do so.

Merge branch 'mh/ceiling'

2013-01-02T18:36:59+00:00

An element on GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES list that does not name the
real path to a directory (i.e. a symbolic link) could have caused
the GIT_DIR discovery logic to escape the ceiling.

* mh/ceiling:
  string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function
  setup_git_directory_gently_1(): resolve symlinks in ceiling paths
  longest_ancestor_length(): require prefix list entries to be normalized
  longest_ancestor_length(): take a string_list argument for prefixes
  longest_ancestor_length(): use string_list_split()
  Introduce new function real_path_if_valid()
  real_path_internal(): add comment explaining use of cwd
  Introduce new static function real_path_internal()

string_list_longest_prefix(): remove function

2012-10-29T06:34:58+00:00

This function was added in f103f95b11d087f07c0c48bf784cd9197e18f203 in
the erroneous expectation that it would be used in the
reimplementation of longest_ancestor_length().  But it turned out to
be easier to use a function specialized for comparing path prefixes
(i.e., one that knows about slashes and root paths) than to prepare
the paths in such a way that a generic string prefix comparison
function can be used.  So delete string_list_longest_prefix() and its
documentation and test cases.

string_list API: document what "sorted" means

2012-09-18T18:41:06+00:00

The recent work on using string_list to represent the list of refs
that matched with the refs on the other side during fetch heavily
depends on the sort order by string_list's implementation, and
changing string_list will break it.  Document that it uses strcmp()
order, at least for now.
