Missing push options #101
Comments
Hi @eelco, Thanks. |
The git protocol itself uses a compare-and-swap mechanism, where changes send the old and new values and the change is only applied if the old value matches. This is used to implement the --force-with-lease feature in git push. go-git populates the `old` field with the current value of the ref that is read from the remote. We can implement a convenient (albeit more limited) form of the --force-with-lease feature just by allowing the caller to specify particular values for this ref. Callers can then implement complex multi-step atomic operations by reading the ref themselves at the start of the process, and passing to in RequireRemoteRefs at the end. This is also a suitable building block for implementing --force-with-lease (go-git#101), which is mostly an exercise in computing the correct hash to require. Hence, this appears to be the most reasonable API to expose.

@mcuadros I believe this issue can be closed, as we've added all of these push options |
To help us keep things tidy and focus on the active tasks, we've introduced a stale bot to spot issues/PRs that haven't had any activity in a while. This particular issue hasn't had any updates or activity in the past 90 days, so it's been labeled as 'stale'. If it remains inactive for the next 30 days, it'll be automatically closed. We understand everyone's busy, but if this issue is still important to you, please feel free to add a comment or make an update to keep it active. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation! |
Closing as per @john-cai message. |
I might be missing something, but there seem to be a lot of push options that are not available? In particular, I’m looking for the equivalents for:
--force-with-lease
--follow-tags
--atomic
