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 isn’t perfect, as a file’s type isn’t cached, so it gets recomputed for every comparison in the sort! We can’t go off the file’s `st_mode` flag because it’s not guaranteed to be in any order between systems.
The problem here was that we were using `metadata.permissions().mode()`, which is capped at 0o777, rather than `metadata.mode()`, which exposes every bit. With this change, we can access the higher-order permission bits, and put them in the Permissions struct.
The three pieces of information for the leftmost details view column (file type, permissions, and whether xattrs are present) used to be gathered from separate sources and passed around separately before being displayed at the end. Now, file type and permissions are put into a struct, along with the xattrs boolean that’s still getting passed around all over the place but not quite as much.
This was all done because I wanted to be able to test permissions rendering, without having file type and xattrs dragged into the same function.
Override the size column for block and charater devices, so it shows the major and minor device IDs instead (which are in the Metadata struct somewhere).
This is what ls does when faced with a device.
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'.
