I understand the need to avoid chdir when running git_parse_changes
for receive now. At that point, the changes have not been pushed to
the srcdir's repo yet. When running the same code for preprevert,
chdir to the srcdir is ok, and necessary.
Probably best to store it unsanitized and sanitize as needed on use.
And it already was for comments, leaving only the need to sanitize the
nickname when git committing, to ensure the email address is legal.
Renamed usershort => nickname.
Note that this means existing user login sessions will not have the nickname
recorded, and so it won't be used for those.
There was some confusion about whether the filename was
relative to srcdir or not. Some test cases, and the bzr
plugin assumed it was relative to the srcdir. Most everything else
assumed it was absolute.
Changed it to relative, for consistency with the rest
of the rcs_ functions.
Using named parameters for these is overdue. Passing the session in a
parameter instead of passing username and IP separately will later allow
storing other session info, like username or part of the email.
Note that these functions are not part of the exported API,
and the prototype change will catch (most) skew, so I am not changing
API versions. Any third-party plugins that call them will need updated
though.
Now the git plugin supports commits with author fields that look like:
Author: http://my.openid/ <me@web>
Then in recentchanges, the short username will be displayed, linking
to the openid.
Particularly useful for the horrible google openids, of course.
* Automatically run --gettime the first time ikiwiki is run on
a given srcdir.
* Optimise --gettime for git, so it's appropriatly screamingly
fast. (This could be done for other backends too.)
* However, --gettime for git no longer follows renames.
* Use above to fix up timestamps on docwiki, as well as ensure that
timestamps on basewiki files shipped in the deb are sane.
* Rename --getctime to --gettime. (The old name still works for
backwards compatability.)
* --gettime now also looks up last modification time.
* Add rcs_getmtime to plugin API; currently only implemented
for git.
The new git-notes feature in git 1.6.6 changes git log output in a way that
broke ikiwiki's parser if notes are added to commits.
I decided to deal with this by disabling notes when ikiwiki uses git,
by setting GIT_NOTES_REF="". AFAICS, looking up notes when dumping logs
will only waste time, since it does not currently seem to make sense for
ikiwiki to do anything with the notes.
git log --follow seems to sometimes show merges from before the file was
ever created. So, skip them, a file shouldn't be first created during a
merge anyway.
This will be a bit more expensive, but --getctime does not need to be fast.
And getting the real creation time a very useful when untangling blog
histories that involve renames.
Loading and use of IkiWiki::Receive can all be pushed into the git plugin,
rather than scattered around.
I had at first wanted to make a receive plugin and move it there,
but a plugin was not a good fit; you don't want users to have to manually
load it, and making the git plugin load the receive plugin at the right
times would need more, and ugly code.
I guess what's happening here is that since the name
is passed to git via an environment variable, perl's normal
utf-8 IO layer stuff doesn't work. So we have to explicitly
decode the string from perl's internal representation into
utf-8.
