respect umask when creating or changing files and directories

This behaviour is already documented in got-worktree(5) but wasn't actually implemented. ok stsp@

fix regression test failures with Git 3.30.5 / 2.38.1 or later installed

The fix for CVE-2022-39253 in Git made our regression tests fail since creating submodules from local clones is no longer allowed by default. Add an override to our invocations of "git submodule add", the same which was added to Git's regression test suite as part of their fix. This CVE doesn't otherwise affect us. We do not implement submodules. Our use of them in regression tests exists only to ensure that Got does not freak out when it sees one. Precisely because automated support for nested repositories and/or working copies (as in Git Submodules, or Subversion Externals, etc.) have been an endless source of security problems in other systems. sudden test failures pointed out by naddy@

use test(1) -eq and -ne to compare integers, and reduce quoting

This brings the rest of the regression test scripts in line with patch.sh.

shell code fixes

Escape sequences are not handled by every echo(1), e.g. not on FreeBSD. '?' is a glob character and must be quoted. '!' is not a shell meta character. ok tracey stsp



Stefan Sperling

make 'got checkout' display the checked out reference and commit ID

ok tracey




Stefan Sperling

detect unknown repository format extensions (such as sha256 format)

ok millert


Christian Weisgerber

switch function declarations from Korn shell to Bourne/POSIX shell syntax

ok stsp


Stefan Sperling

add a -q option to tests for quiet output and use it for 'make regress'

Previous default output remains when test cases are run individually. ok tracey



Stefan Sperling

stop using realpath(3) to resolve a symlink target in install_symlink()

We should not resolve a symlink target path recursively when installing a symlink in the work tree. We want to handle this symlink's target, not the end result of following a chain of symlinks in case such links already exist.








Stefan Sperling

add submodule tests

ok semarie


Stefan Sperling

be helpful when users try to check out work trees without a known branch

Provide a useful error message in such cases and explicitly document intentional restrictions in the got(1) man page. Prompted by a question from Adam Steen via bsd.network https://bsd.network/@adams/103768951483318235
