gix v0.88.0

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• preserve causes across fallible conversions

  Rubber stamp, looked at diff. This is a cleanup commit. There is going to be considerable cleanup done later as well.

  Parsers and adapters discarded encoding, integer, date, signature, and object-access failures when replacing them with context. Preserve their concrete causes so classification and downcasting keep working after conversion to gix::Error or an I/O error.

  Return Exn from fallible path, command-line, gitdir, and pack-entry conversions where necessary, and adapt their consumers in the same change. Packed-ref and reflog errors retain their parser sources and input details; reflog recovery reports the actual recovery failure. Loose-object verification now propagates lookup and enumeration failures instead of treating every lookup error as retryable or silently skipping failed enumeration.

  Remove unnecessary UTF-8 conversions for ASCII suffixes and check span bounds before narrowing. Parsers that only return () explicitly destructure it. No production map_err() closure still discards a wildcard-bound error. Also preserve causes in formatting-only CLI and commit-graph adapters, where stringification previously lost checksum corruption classifications.

• locate vi/vim in Git's core directory on Windows; change Repository::editor() -> Option<gix_command::Prepare>

  On Windows, Git's bundled vi may not be available through PATH. Resolve the default editor in Git's core directory first and retain the bare command as fallback.

New Features (BREAKING)

• return the local branches actually deleted

  Callers that needed to know whether branch deletion removed anything had to look up each reference separately. That duplicated reference reads and could report stale existence information by the time deletion took its locks.

  Return sorted, deduplicated full names from the committed reference edits whose previous values were observed under lock. Missing branches are excluded while their stale local configuration is still removed. Expose the same list as deleted in delete::Error::Cleanup so callers can recover it when only configuration cleanup fails; retain references as the full requested batch.

  The success value changes from () to Vec<FullName>, and Cleanup gains

Unreleased

New Features

• add configurable terminal screen modes.

• hide revision ancestry in tix

• add tix to the gix CLI

• add explicit gix config show subcommand.

• add gix config list for showing the git-configuration files.

• add the gix config fmt subcommand Expose the gix-config whitespace formatter as gix config fmt [--in-place] [in-file] [out-file]: with no in-file it formats the repository-local configuration, and with no out-file it writes to stdout. The repository is only opened when the repository-local configuration is needed, so formatting an explicit file works outside a repository too.

• add gix status --untracked flag This allows to control how untracked files are folded, but also can completely turn dirwalking off.

• add gix free remote refs to list and write remote refs. Add gix free remote refs to perform an upload-pack handshake, discover the remote reference advertisement, and print the refs without negotiating or receiving a pack.

  The command can also write the advertised refs into a standalone ref store:

  gix free remote refs --refs-directory out-refs <url>

Bug Fixes

• preserve multiple remote URLs Configured remotes can have multiple remote..url or remote..pushUrl values, but gix::Remote kept only one value because lookup used the singular config accessor. That meant the most recent config value won, while Git exposes every effective URL and uses the first one for the singular get-url form.

  Add ordered URL storage to gix::Remote and expose Remote::urls(Direction) for all effective URLs. Keep Remote::url(Direction) as the singular compatibility API, now returning the first effective URL. Fetch URLs used as push fallbacks try pushInsteadOf first and then insteadOf, matching Git behavior.
