Git branch -a --format=%(refname:short) returns remote branches as
'origin/branch-name', not 'remotes/origin/branch-name'. The code was
only filtering 'remotes/' prefix, causing clone to fail with branch
names like 'origin/feat/foo'.
Now properly detects remote names using 'git remote' and strips the
remote prefix (e.g., 'origin/') from branch names.

- Create normal working clones for remote repositories
- Initialize blank repositories with a main branch
- Align pull and branch helpers with unborn HEAD handling
- Gate fetch/pull on repositories with a remote
Quality gates: vitest repositories-settings-tab (passed); api pytest blocked by missing fastapi in environment
- Remove useless git diff --numstat call that failed in bare repos
- Use raw bytes instead of text decoding to avoid encoding issues
- Properly check subprocess return codes
Fixes false positive binary detection for text files like .env.sample
Using 'git log --all <branch>' creates ambiguous behavior. Now:
- Without branch: uses --all to show all commits from all refs
- With branch: shows only commits from that specific branch
This ensures consistent commit counts between git CLI and API.
Backend was sending Unix timestamps as strings (e.g. '1716112800')
which JavaScript Date couldn't parse. Now sends proper ISO 8601
format dates that work with new Date() in the browser.
Backend was returning fields like 'author', 'email', 'date' but frontend
expected 'author_name', 'author_email', 'author_date'. Also 'branches' and
'tags' were separate but frontend expects unified 'refs' array.
- Update _commit_to_dict to return frontend-compatible field names
- Add graph_symbol and graph_depth for commit graph display
- Update get_commit_detail to return matching field names
- Include diff as top-level field for detail view
The git log --graph output uses | characters in the ASCII art,
which conflicts with using | as a format separator. Switch to
NULL bytes (\x00) which won't appear in commit data.
Also removed --graph flag since we build graph data from
parent relationships instead.
- Add git_history.py utility for extracting commit history and details
- Add API endpoints for repository history and commit details
- Integrate with existing git_repositories router
This completes the backend for git history visualization.
