commit_index.rs

1//! What:
2//!  The private commit index of one transaction:
3//!       its timestamp-preserving copies of the real index,
4//!       its initialization for each selection mode,
5//!       the intended tree written from it,
6//!       its path listings,
7//!       the pathspec-file source, and
8//!       interactive and patch selection run against it.
9//! Why:
10//!  Git's staging and selection run against a private index and the shadow object store,
11//!  so the real index and object store change only at landing.
12//!  A copy keeps the real index's timestamps, because Git re-reads a stat entry
13//!  whose time is not older than the index file (`index-file-timestamps.ts`, issue #544).
14//!
15//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
16//! ```ts
17//! await initializeCommitIndex({ workspace, gitPath, cwd, mode, pathspecs, baseRevision, ... });
18//! ```
