Author	SHA1	Message	Date
szaman	898135121c	Let opening a repository win over a reload ci / check (push) Successful in 2m58s Details A reload's reply or error is dropped when an open was running as it started, an open started after it, or an open is still running when it answers. An open's reply or error is dropped only when a newer open started after it.	2026-10-15 15:32:44 +02:00
szaman	bd7c129116	Share no ssh connection when the socket path would be too long macOS accepts socket paths of at most 103 characters. Count the folder, the file name, the 40-character hash and the temporary end ssh adds; when the total is over 103, leave the connection-sharing options out. Find, make and check the socket folder once per run instead of for every command.	2026-10-15 15:31:08 +02:00
szaman	25308f5f0f	Show only the newest repository when replies arrive out of order Every reload and every open takes a number before asking git; a reply is used only if no newer request was sent after it, and an out-of-date error is not shown. Commit details and diffs that come back after another repository was opened are neither kept nor shown.	2026-10-15 15:31:08 +02:00
szaman	7b902616fe	Let error messages stay until read; show the remote form on the welcome screen Error messages now stay for 8 seconds or until clicked, and keep each hint on its own line. The welcome screen shows how to start gites with a repository on another machine. The spec follows these changes and the new ssh options and socket folder.	2026-10-15 15:26:16 +02:00
szaman	bf6ae3e2bb	Keep the window responsive and ssh connections safe Commands that run git now run away from the thread that draws the window, so a slow server no longer freezes it. ssh now notices a server that stopped answering in about 10 seconds. The sockets for shared connections go in the runtime folder, or else in a private gites folder in the cache folder, never in /tmp; without either, connections are not shared. A path that is exactly ~ now means the home folder on the server. Tests cover commit details through ssh, the message for a failed connection, and a ~/ path end to end. The stand-in ssh is now set per test, so a test can give it its own home folder.	2026-10-15 15:26:16 +02:00
