fix(index): handle adding symlinks to dirs

2015-06-26T07:58:47+00:00

When expanding directories, check if it is a symlink and don't expand
them at all.

Previously, we followed symlinks and expanded their contents, which
could lead to weird index files.

Fixes #302

fix(index): _store_path() now closes it's stream

This should prevent a resource warning given in py3

Fixes #263

fix(index): don't write extension data by default

2015-04-08T07:50:26+00:00

It turned out that the index is not actually corrupted, which is good
news. What happens is that `git` writes `TREE` extension data into the
index, which causes it to write out the given tree *as is* next time
a `git commit` is executed. When using `git add`, this extension data
is maintained automatically. However, GitPython doesn't do that ... .
Usually this is no problem at all, as you are supposed to use
`IndexFile.commit(...)` along with `IndexFile.add(...)`.

Thanks to a shortcoming in the GitPython API, the index was
automatically written out whenever files have been added, without
providing control over whether or not *extension data* will be
written along with it.

My fix consists of an additional flag in `IndexFile.add(...)`, which
causes extension data not to be written by default, so commits can be
safely done via `git commit` or `IndexFile.commit(...)`.

However, this might introduce new subtle bugs in case someone is
relying on extension data to be written. As this can be controlled
through the said flag though, a fix is easily done in that case.

Fixes #265

BF: run commit hook with repo.working_dir as cwd

2015-02-09T02:47:55+00:00

Otherwise commit hook might rightfully fail, as happens if
repository is e.g. git-annex repository.  See e.g. now failing

which seems to pass tests nicely with patch as this

Overhauled all tutorials, and placed them in a unit-test.

That way they are protected from regression.

Fixes #239

Previously, it checked for AssertionErrors, now we have to implement
need-unbare-repo check ourselves.
