60 * Pathname classifications.
61 *
62 * The daemon classifies the pathnames that it receives from file
63 * system notification events into the following categories and uses
64 * that to decide whether clients are told about them. (And to watch
65 * for file system synchronization events.)
66 *
67 * The daemon only collects and reports on the set of modified paths
68 * within the working directory (proper).
69 *
70 * The client should only care about paths within the working
71 * directory proper (inside the working directory and not ".git" nor
72 * inside of ".git/"). That is, the client has read the index and is
73 * asking for a list of any paths in the working directory that have
74 * been modified since the last token. The client does not care about
75 * file system changes within the ".git/" directory (such as new loose
76 * objects or packfiles). So the client will only receive paths that
77 * are classified as IS_WORKDIR_PATH.
78 *
79 * Note that ".git" is usually a directory and is therefore inside
80 * the cone of the FS watch that we have on the working directory root,
81 * so we will also get FS events for disk activity on and within ".git/"
82 * that we need to respond to or filter from the client.
83 *
84 * But Git also allows ".git" to be a *file* that points to a GITDIR
85 * outside of the working directory. When this happens, we need to
86 * create FS watches on both the working directory root *and* on the
87 * (external) GITDIR root. (The latter is required because we put
88 * cookie files inside it and use them to sync with the FS event
89 * stream.)
90 *
91 * Note that in the context of this discussion, I'm using "GITDIR"
92 * to only mean an external GITDIR referenced by a ".git" file.
93 *
94 * The platform FS event backends will receive watch-specific
95 * relative paths (except for those OS's that always emit absolute
96 * paths). We use the following enum and routines to classify each
97 * path so that we know how to handle it. There is a slight asymmetry
98 * here because ".git/" is inside the working directory and the
99 * (external) GITDIR is not, and therefore how we handle events may
100 * vary slightly, so I have different enums for "IS...DOT_GIT..." and
101 * "IS...GITDIR...".
102 *
103 * The daemon uses the IS_DOT_GIT and IS_GITDIR internally to mean the
104 * exact ".git" file/directory or GITDIR directory. If the daemon
105 * receives a delete event for either of these paths, it will
106 * automatically shutdown, for example.
107 *
108 * Note that the daemon DOES NOT explicitly watch nor special case the
109 * index. The daemon does not read the index nor have any internal
110 * index-relative state, so there are no "IS...INDEX..." enum values.
