The old implementation blindly assumed that a symlink target would have a directory compoment, which the current directory, parent directory, and root directory technically don't have.
Fixes#20.
The logic of the previous version wasn't correct. Also, presuming
natural ordering of full filenames is still reasonable when the
extensions are identical.
The challenge is that the paths returned from libgit2's status listing
are from the perspective of the Git repository and thus effectively
relative to the working tree root, while the other paths we're
manipulating are (potentially) relative to our current working
directory. So, if those two aren't identical (if running from outside
the working tree, or from a subdirectory), the paths won't match up.
A reasonably reliable way around this is to resolve both types of paths
to absolute paths before comparing them. This fixes#15 at a basic
level, anyway.
What still doesn't work: referring to the working tree or one of its
descendants via a symlink. For that, we'd probably need to fully resolve
symlinks in the file path.
(The unwrap_or()'s are messy and will probably just result in missing
status information, but then, what information could you hope to get
without having both a current working directory and a Git working tree?)
Filenames with characters that need multiple bytes in UTF-8, and/or
control characters like combining diacritics, would break the grid.
`StrExt::width` seems to do the right thing, and there's conveniently a
function here (which was otherwise unused) to call that.
These were completely missing because I forgot about them... I added sorting functionality before I added date functionality, but it turns out I didn't even need the datetime library to do this!
However, this implementation feels incomplete. If you sort by the accessed date, it still displays the modified date, so the dates still look out of order. If I were to change the date column for the user, though, then there would still be no header to signify that the column has changed. I'm not sure how to proceed with this, but this is still missing functionality, so in it goes.
This has been mostly done with changes in the datetime crate's suddenly
supporting locales.
It's still important that the user's locale is touched only once and
cached from that point on, so a struct in output::details has been made
public, along with that module. This will change later as that object
gains more and more uses thoughout the codes.
Use the `locale` crate as a dependency to read in the set
thousands-separator character, and pass this to the file size column,
which uses it to add the separators in.
en_GB uses ","
fr_FR uses "" and just displays the numbers in one go.
Add options -u, -U, and -m as shorthand options for displaying different
types of timestamp, not just one. It's possible to have more than one by
specifying more than one of these shorthands, but *not* when used with
--time, as this is only meant to display one at a time.
Using the datetime crate, add an extra column to the --long view that
prints out the modified, accessed, or created timestamp for each file.
Also, let the user pick which one they want to see based on the --time
command-line option.
