Added checks to `file.rs` to ensure that file's metadata exists after `UNIX_EPOCH`.
If the file was accessed/modified/created after UNIX_EPOCH, the current day is displayed.
This happened because exa would recurse into `.` over and over again. There was nothing distinguishing the pseudo-entry for `.` that was being added by `--a` from a `.` passed in on the command-line, so it was looping forever.
It gets fixed by having the File value keep track of whether it’s an --all --all entry, and not recursing into directories with this field set.
Fixes#515
This allows printing directory trees without any files, only
showing the structure.
I haven't decided on a letter for the short option.
Implements #401
Add two new sort options `.name` and `.Name` which with ignore a leading
`.` if present on the file name before sorting according to `name` and
`Name`.
This new sort is convenient if you want to list hidden and unhidden
files sorted together.
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.
I don’t really see the modified date as the *modified* date, rather just the *date* field, because it’s the date field I refer to like 99.9% of the time. So now it has aliases to match.
Also are included are aliases for the reverse order, because I’d rather write “new” than “the reverse of old”.
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.
This was touched on in #209 where I got the docs wrong compared to the actual implementation, but after thinking about it, I’d like to switch it round. (The --sort=Name and --sort=name difference has also been switched.) See the big ol’ comment for my reasons.
Because this changes core functionality, it broke many, many tests. You can see that this doesn’t change the -star- tests because the shell, rather than exa, orders the globbed files.
I kept on forgetting which way round Sensitive and Insensitive went, so I named them after the effect they have.
