This doesn’t *completely* work: it seems to have trouble with ignored paths beginning with slashes, possibly amongst others. Also, .gitignore scanning could be made more efficient.
This is all a big commit because it took a lot more work than I thought it would! The commit basically moves Git repositories from being per-directory to living for the whole life of the program. This allows for several directories in the same repository to be listed in the same invocation; before, it would try to rediscover the repository each time! This is why two of the tests “broke”: it suddenly started working with --recurse.
The Dir type does now not use Git at all; because a Dir doesn’t have a Git, then a File doesn’t have one either, so the Git cache gets passed to the render functions which will put them in the Table to render them.
This uses the Git module’s newfound powers of getting actual GitRepo values from a factory to cache repositories a bit more. Now, when querying two directories under the same repository, it’ll open both, see that they have the same workdir, and only use the first one.
This commit adds a cache for Git repositories based on the path being queried.
Its only immediate effect is that when you query the same directory twice (such as /testcases/git /testcases/git), it won’t need to check that the second one is a Git directory the second time. So, a minuscule optimisation for something you’d never do anyway? Wrong! It’s going to let us combine multiple entries over the same repository later, letting us use --tree and --recurse, because now Git scanning is behind a factory.
I want to be very careful when doing the “--git and --tree don’t work together” one to not search for more Git repositories than I should. Being able to log when a repository is looked up and also switch that functionality on and off would help with that.
This commit moves file, dir, and the feature modules into one parent 'fs' module. Now there are three main 'areas' of the code: main and options, the filesystem-touching code, and the output-displaying code.
It should be the case that nothing in 'output' touches 'std::fs'.
