68 * Pathname classifications.
70 * The daemon classifies the pathnames that it receives from file
71 * system notification events into the following categories and uses
72 * that to decide whether clients are told about them. (And to watch
73 * for file system synchronization events.)
75 * The daemon only collects and reports on the set of modified paths
76 * within the working directory (proper).
78 * The client should only care about paths within the working
79 * directory proper (inside the working directory and not ".git" nor
80 * inside of ".git/"). That is, the client has read the index and is
81 * asking for a list of any paths in the working directory that have
82 * been modified since the last token. The client does not care about
83 * file system changes within the ".git/" directory (such as new loose
84 * objects or packfiles). So the client will only receive paths that
85 * are classified as IS_WORKDIR_PATH.
87 * Note that ".git" is usually a directory and is therefore inside
88 * the cone of the FS watch that we have on the working directory root,
89 * so we will also get FS events for disk activity on and within ".git/"
90 * that we need to respond to or filter from the client.
92 * But Git also allows ".git" to be a *file* that points to a GITDIR
93 * outside of the working directory. When this happens, we need to
94 * create FS watches on both the working directory root *and* on the
95 * (external) GITDIR root. (The latter is required because we put
96 * cookie files inside it and use them to sync with the FS event
97 * stream.)
99 * Note that in the context of this discussion, I'm using "GITDIR"
100 * to only mean an external GITDIR referenced by a ".git" file.
102 * The platform FS event backends will receive watch-specific
103 * relative paths (except for those OS's that always emit absolute
104 * paths). We use the following enum and routines to classify each
105 * path so that we know how to handle it. There is a slight asymmetry
106 * here because ".git/" is inside the working directory and the
107 * (external) GITDIR is not, and therefore how we handle events may
108 * vary slightly, so I have different enums for "IS...DOT_GIT..." and
109 * "IS...GITDIR...".
111 * The daemon uses the IS_DOT_GIT and IS_GITDIR internally to mean the
112 * exact ".git" file/directory or GITDIR directory. If the daemon
113 * receives a delete event for either of these paths, it will
114 * automatically shutdown, for example.
116 * Note that the daemon DOES NOT explicitly watch nor special case the
117 * index. The daemon does not read the index nor have any internal
118 * index-relative state, so there are no "IS...INDEX..." enum values.
