Cleaned up the structure of the whole OS-abstraction layer.
fileops.c now contains a set of utility methods for file management used
by the library. These are abstractions on top of the original POSIX
calls.
There's a new file called `posix.c` that contains
emulations/reimplementations of all the POSIX calls the library uses.
These are prefixed with `p_`. There's a specific posix file for each
platform (win32 and unix).
All the path-related methods have been moved from `utils.c` to `path.c`
and have their own prefix.
Remove call of gitfo_size, since we call gitfo_lstat anyway; remove some
old workaround code for gitfo_read, which is obsolete now.

Call gitfo_lstat with the full pathname instead of the relative one,
which fails in case the current working directory is different from
the workdir.

Handle Symlinks if they can be handled in Win32. This is not even
compiled. Needs review.
The lstat implementation is modified from core Git.
The readlink implementation is modified from PHP.
00582bc introduced a change that required the caller of
git_blob_create_fromfile() to pass a struct stat with the stat
information for the file. Several developers pointed out that this would
make life hard for the bindings developers as struct stat isn't widely
supported by other languages.
Make git_blob_create_fromfile() stat the path itself, eliminating the
need for the file to be stat'ed by the caller. This makes
index_init_entry() more costly as the file will be stat'ed twice but
makes life easier for everyone else.
In order to be able to write symlinks with git_blob_create_fromfile(),
we need to check whether the file to be written is a symbolic link or
not. Since the calling function of git_blob_create_fromfile() is likely to have
stated the file before calling, we make it pass the stat.
The reason for this is that writing symbolic link blobs is significantly
different from writing ordinary files - we do not want to open the link
destination but instead want to write the link itself, regardless of
whether it exists or not.
Previously, index_init_entry() used to error out if the file to be added
was a symlink that pointed to a nonexistent file. Fix this behaviour to
add the file regardless of whether it exists. This mimics git.git's
behaviour.
Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.
This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.
Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!
Major features include:
- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
- Streaming writes & reads from the ODB
- Single-method writes for all object types
- The external API is now partially thread-safe
The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.
Here's a full changelog for the external API:
blob.h
------
- Remove `git_blob_new`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent`
- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile`
- Rename `git_blob_writefile` -> `git_blob_create_fromfile`
- Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`:
The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir
- Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer`
commit.h
--------
- Remove `git_commit_new`
- Remove `git_commit_add_parent`
- Remove `git_commit_set_message`
- Remove `git_commit_set_committer`
- Remove `git_commit_set_author`
- Remove `git_commit_set_tree`
- Add `git_commit_create`
- Add `git_commit_create_v`

tag.h
-----
- Remove `git_tag_new`
- Remove `git_tag_set_target`
- Remove `git_tag_set_name`
- Remove `git_tag_set_tagger`
- Remove `git_tag_set_message`
- Add `git_tag_create`
- Add `git_tag_create_o`
tree.h
------
- Change `git_tree_entry_2object`:
New signature is `(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo, git_tree_entry *entry)`
- Remove `git_tree_new`
- Remove `git_tree_add_entry`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byindex`
- Remove `git_tree_remove_entry_byname`
- Remove `git_tree_clearentries`
- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_id`

- Remove `git_tree_entry_set_attributes`
object.h
------------
- Remove `git_object_new
- Remove `git_object_write`
- Change `git_object_close`:
This method is now *mandatory*. Not closing an object causes a
memory leak.
odb.h
-----
- Remove type `git_rawobj`
- Remove `git_rawobj_close`
- Rename `git_rawobj_hash` -> `git_odb_hash`
- Change `git_odb_hash`:
New signature is `(git_oid *id, const void *data, size_t len, git_otype type)`
- Add type `git_odb_object`
- Add `git_odb_object_close`
- Change `git_odb_read`:
New signature is `(git_odb_object **out, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Change `git_odb_read_header`:
New signature is `(size_t *len_p, git_otype *type_p, git_odb *db, const git_oid *id)`
- Remove `git_odb_write`
- Add `git_odb_open_wstream`
- Add `git_odb_open_rstream`
odb_backend.h
-------------
- Change type `git_odb_backend`:
New internal signatures are as follows
int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype)
int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
- Add type `git_odb_stream`
- Add enum `git_odb_streammode`

It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs
instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster,
specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even
segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome?
What has changed on the API?
`git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return
their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code.
`git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error
code and may fail.
`git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's
stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between
objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC
never fails or double-free's pointers.
`git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object
as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the
object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from
the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's
100% safe.
`git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector
pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible.
This is useful if we are running out of memory.
Disable garbage collection of cross-references to prevent
double-freeing. Internal reference management is now done
with a separate method.

All `git_object` instances looked up from the repository are reference
counted. User is expected to use the new `git_object_close` when an
object is no longer needed to force freeing it.
