CVE-2018-25032 (2022-03-25)

zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

CVE-2020-12279 (2020-04-27)

An issue was discovered in libgit2 before 0.28.4 and 0.9x before 0.99.0. checkout.c mishandles equivalent filenames that exist because of NTFS short names. This may allow remote code execution when cloning a repository. This issue is similar to CVE-2019-1353.

CVE-2020-12278 (2020-04-27)

An issue was discovered in libgit2 before 0.28.4 and 0.9x before 0.99.0. path.c mishandles equivalent filenames that exist because of NTFS Alternate Data Streams. This may allow remote code execution when cloning a repository. This issue is similar to CVE-2019-1352.

NAME

Git::Raw::Branch - Git branch class

VERSION

version 0.84

SYNOPSIS

use Git::Raw;

# open the Git repository at $path
my $repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> open($path);

# create a new branch named 'some_branch'
$repo -> branch('some_branch', $repo -> head -> target);

DESCRIPTION

Helper class for branch manipulation. Note that a Git branch is nothing more than a Git::Raw::Reference, so this class inherits all methods from it.

WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

METHODS

create( $repo, $name, $target )

Create a new branch given a name and a target object (either a Git::Raw::Commit or a Git::Raw::Tag).

lookup( $repo, $name, $is_local )

Retrieve the branch corresponding to the given branch name.

move( $name, $force )

Rename the branch to $name. Note that in order to get the updated branch object, an additional Git::Raw::Branch->lookup() is needed.

upstream( [$upstream] )

Retrieve or set the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the local branch. If there is no corresponding supporting reference, this function will return undef. $upstream may either be a Git::Raw::Reference, a string containing the upstream reference name or undef. If $upstream is set to undef, the remote tracking branch association is removed.

upstream_name( )

Return the name of the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this function will return undef.

remote_name( )

Return the name of remote that the remote tracking branch belongs to, given the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this function will return undef.

is_head( )

Check if the current local branch is pointed at by HEAD.
