[jgit-dev] commit to bare from DirCache.newInCore

[Max Gärber <max@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am using a strategy taken from Gitblit [1] to commit to a bare repo.

Essentially, this involves creating the blob object directly and combining it with existing tree objects [2].

This works fine but I'd like to avoid re-creating the DirCache for every new insertion. Could I just keep the DirCache and modify it with DirCacheEditor?

If yes, how would the PathEdit object(s) look like for "insert or replace"?

Br, Max

DirCache newIndex = DirCache.newInCore();
DirCacheBuilder builder = newIndex.builder();
... 
DirCacheEntry idIndexEntry = new DirCacheEntry(file)
idIndexEntry.setObjectId(
        //create blob object from file to be referenced by the index
        inserter.insert(org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Constants.OBJ_BLOB, content.getBytes("UTF-8")));

builder.add(idIndexEntry);
...

for (DirCacheEntry entry : JGitUtils.getTreeEntries(db, "refs/heads/master", ignorePaths)) {
    builder.add(entry);
}
...
ObjectInserter odi = db.newObjectInserter();
ObjectId indexTreeId = index.writeTree(odi);
