It handles all three configuration mechanisms historically -and currently used by Git, and presents the information in a uniform -fashion. Note that the code also handles plain URLs without any -configuration, giving them just the default information. - -struct remote -------------- - -`name`:: - - The user's nickname for the remote - -`url`:: - - An array of all of the url_nr URLs configured for the remote - -`pushurl`:: - - An array of all of the pushurl_nr push URLs configured for the remote - -`push`:: - - An array of refspecs configured for pushing, with - push_refspec being the literal strings, and push_refspec_nr - being the quantity. - -`fetch`:: - - An array of refspecs configured for fetching, with - fetch_refspec being the literal strings, and fetch_refspec_nr - being the quantity. - -`fetch_tags`:: - - The setting for whether to fetch tags (as a separate rule from - the configured refspecs); -1 means never to fetch tags, 0 - means to auto-follow tags based on the default heuristic, 1 - means to always auto-follow tags, and 2 means to fetch all - tags. - -`receivepack`, `uploadpack`:: - - The configured helper programs to run on the remote side, for - Git-native protocols. - -`http_proxy`:: - - The proxy to use for curl (http, https, ftp, etc.) URLs. - -`http_proxy_authmethod`:: - - The method used for authenticating against `http_proxy`. - -struct remotes can be found by name with remote_get(), and iterated -through with for_each_remote(). remote_get(NULL) will return the -default remote, given the current branch and configuration. - -struct refspec --------------- - -A struct refspec holds the parsed interpretation of a refspec. If it -will force updates (starts with a '+'), force is true. If it is a -pattern (sides end with '*') pattern is true. src and dest are the -two sides (including '*' characters if present); if there is only one -side, it is src, and dst is NULL; if sides exist but are empty (i.e., -the refspec either starts or ends with ':'), the corresponding side is -"". - -An array of strings can be parsed into an array of struct refspecs -using parse_fetch_refspec() or parse_push_refspec(). - -remote_find_tracking(), given a remote and a struct refspec with -either src or dst filled out, will fill out the other such that the -result is in the "fetch" specification for the remote (note that this -evaluates patterns and returns a single result). - -struct branch -------------- - -Note that this may end up moving to branch.h - -struct branch holds the configuration for a branch. It can be looked -up with branch_get(name) for "refs/heads/{name}", or with -branch_get(NULL) for HEAD. - -It contains: - -`name`:: - - The short name of the branch. - -`refname`:: - - The full path for the branch ref. - -`remote_name`:: - - The name of the remote listed in the configuration. - -`merge_name`:: - - An array of the "merge" lines in the configuration. - -`merge`:: - - An array of the struct refspecs used for the merge lines. That - is, merge[i]->dst is a local tracking ref which should be - merged into this branch by default. - -`merge_nr`:: - - The number of merge configurations - -branch_has_merge_config() returns true if the given branch has merge -configuration given. - -Other stuff ------------ - -There is other stuff in remote.h that is related, in general, to the -process of interacting with remotes. - -(Daniel Barkalow) |
