We need merge support

• Creating a merge commit and resolving conflicts!

• Revision Support - At some point we might need support for stuff like HEAD^ https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitrevisions.html

  This is medium level task, that requires almost no knowledge about git Take a look at how go-git does it.

• Integrate date time tz

• Implement delta figuring out

• Clean up ObjectStorage (remove function to get an object from a path)

• Clean up Packfile tests

• Clean up Indexes tests

• Create

  • WorkTree
    • All fs operations go here

Important -

• saving a ref should be updating a ref, and doing that can fail if some other process if attempting to modify it. We need this operation to be atomic.

  • Can throw LockFailure

• Move expensive code to another isolate

• Do not allow concurrent modifications to the isolate

• Modifying the index - What if someone else has modified it during that time?

  • https://www.pluralsight.com/guides/understanding-and-using-git%27s-index.lock-file
  • Add index.lock file

Low Energy Tasks -

• Capabilities
• PktLine Decoder
• git clean
• reset hard/soft - Hard test when there are modifications or some extra files.
• Tests: Use a fixture instead of cloning
• GitStatusResult structure - see SimpleGit

Notes

simple-git has the concept of a queue so that multiple commands cannot be run in parallel. This seems like a good idea that should also enforce?

Encryption

For git-crypt support, the first step would be to implement git-attributes support. Take a look at go-git's implementation.

I don't believe it makes sense to implement git-crypt support. Only because it's so fucking complex, and transfering the key is not simple. Plus, use git-crypt requires understanding gpg to a certain extent that it's not practical.

Age encryption is much much easier, and there is agebox but that doesn't integrate with git and doesn't encrypt to a plain text version. Though I'm not sure why that is a big issue. It seems like creating a tool like agebox which integrates with git is the best option. All that would be needed is support for modifying the git attributes and clean/smudge/diff support.

Maybe git-crypt with just the password. I can't imagine supporting all of pgp stuff. I can transfer the key via a QR code. -> cat key | base64 | qrencode -t ansiutf8
