This does a similar thing that we did with the xattrs, except with the nested files: it removes the 'this' field on File, and replaces it with a method (to_dir) that has the same effect.
This means we get to remove a bunch of 'recurse' fields and parameters that really had no business being there! Now the table doesn't need to know whether it's going to need to list files recursively or not.
This changes the way extended attributes (xattrs) are printed. Before, they were artificially printed out on their own line both in lines mode *and* details mode, which looked a bit weird. Now, they are additional 'child nodes' of that item that get printed alongside errors.
All this allows all the 'extra info' that is going to be present for very few entries to be consolidated and listed in the same way, without resorting to extra printlns.
As a great side-effect, it allows taking out some of the more redundant code in the Table impl -- it is now *always* going to be in create-child-nodes mode, as *any* file now can, not only when we have the --tree flag in use.
Also, it now actually displays errors when failing to read the extended attributes, such as if the user doesn't have permission to read them.
The extended attribute flag has been temporarily disabled while I work out the best way to do it!
Now we have one Ur-module that contains functionality common to both supported platforms.
The benefits of doing it this way are that:
1. It doesn't implement a dummy interface - rather, there will be less code generated when the feature is not present;
2. The code shared between them can be kept in sync. The other two modules were something like 80% the same.
When tree mode is active, this will print out errors as another form of child node in the tree, instead of in one big block before any output.
The 'this' field now holds the io::Result of the readdir call, rather than only a *successful* result.
This is part of work to make the flow of files more iterator-able, rather than going in and out of vectors. Here, a Dir returns an iterator of files, rather than a pre-filled vector.
For now, this removes the ability for error messages to be displayed. Will be added in later though!
This is very slow (see #28) at the moment, so there's an option to switch off repo discovery. However, they were still always being queried. Now, if there's no Git option in the flags, it won't try to discover a repo.
These replace `init()` and `tail()` which are deprecated in favour of these.
In fact, it's a good thing they're deprecated, because part of the path_prefix code involved working around a call to init() that would panic otherwise - doing the same check with an `Option` is much more ergonomic.
Previously, each time it tried to render a table (to check its width), it both re-queried the filesystem and re-formatted the values into coloured strings.
These values are now calculated only once before the table is drawn, and are used repeatedly throughout.
Although it looks as though there's more `clone()`ing going on than before, it used to be recalculating things and storing them as vectors anyway, so the memory would still be used in any case.
This commit adds --grid, which, when used with --long, will split the details into multiple columns. Currently this is just 2 columns, but in the future it will be based on the width of the terminal.
In order to do this, I had to do two things:
1. Add a `links` parameter to the filename function, which disables the printing of the arrow and link target in the details view. When this is active, the columns get way too large, and it becomes not worth it.
2. Change the `print_table` function from actually printing the table to stdout to returning a list of `Cells` based on the table. This list then gets its width measured to calculate the width of the resulting table.
