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

154 * Prepend the this batch of path(s) onto the list of batches associated
155 * with the current token. This makes the batch visible to worker threads.
157 * The caller no longer owns the batch and must not free it.
