A bunch of redundant methods have been removed from the external API.
- All the reference/tag creation methods with `_f` are gone. The force
flag is now passed as an argument to the normal create methods.
- All the different commit creation methods are gone; commit creation
now always requires a `git_commit` pointer for parents and a `git_tree`
pointer for tree, to ensure that corrupted commits cannot be generated.
- All the different tag creation methods are gone; tag creation now
always requires a `git_object` pointer to ensure that tags are not
created to inexisting objects.
On this rascalicious minor release of libgit2:
- We've dropped support for Waf. All the build process is now managed
through CMake for all platforms.
- We've removed the custom backends from the repository. You can now
find a collection of Custom backends on their own repo, under the
libgit2 org. Including MySQL and Memcache backends, courtesy of the
beardful Brian Lopez.
- We are rocking a new documentation system, Docurium, courtesy of the
insightful Scott Chacon. Check out the details for each single method
in our external API and the way they've evolved through the history
of the library:
http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/
This will certainly come in handy if you are developing bindings for
the library.
- You can now check the linked version of the library from your
application or bindings, using `git_libgit2_version`.
- We have a gazillion new features, courtesy of our invaluable
collaborators, including:
* Support for Config files!
* Support for prefix-only reads on the ODB
* Repository discovery
* Support for the Unmerged Entries index extension
* Better Windows support
* 30.000 bug fixes (actual number may be lower)
Thanks as always to everyone who makes this project possible.

This function puts the global and repository configurations in one
git_config object and gives it to the user.

It's not clear how git_config and git_config_file relate to one
another. Be more explicit about their relationship in the function
documentation.

As suggested by carlosmn, git_oid_ncmp would probably
be a better name than git_oid_match, for it does the same
as git_oid_cmp but only up to a certain amount of hex digits.
Feature Added: Search an unmerged entry by path (git_index_get_unmerged
renamed to git_index_get_unmerged_bypath) or by index (git_index_get_unmerged_byindex).
Implemented find_unique_short_oid for pack backend, based on git sha1 lookup method;
finding an object given its full oid is just a particular case of searching
the unique object matching an oid prefix (short oid).
Added git_odb_read_unique_short_oid, which iterates over all the backends to
find and read the unique object matching the given oid prefix.
Added a git_object_lookup_short_oid method to find the unique object in
the repository matching a given oid prefix : it generalizes git_object_lookup
which now does nothing but calls git_object_lookup_short_oid.
