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.
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`
- Add `git_commit_create_o`
- Add `git_commit_create_ov`
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_name`
- 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`

The new pack backend is an adaptation of the original git.git code in
`sha1_file.c`. It's slightly faster than the previous version and
severely less memory-hungry.
The call-stack of a normal pack backend query has been properly
documented in the top of the header for future reference. And by
properly I mean with ASCII diagrams 'n shit.
The priority value for different backends has been removed from the
public `git_odb_backend` struct. We handle that internally. The priority
value is specified on the `git_odb_add_alternate`.
This is convenient because it allows us to poll a backend twice with
different priorities without having to instantiate it twice.
We also differentiate between main backends and alternates; alternates have
lower priority and cannot be written to.
These changes come with some unit tests to make sure that the backend
sorting is consistent.
The libgit2 version has been bumped to 0.4.0.
This commit changes the external API:
CHANGED:
struct git_odb_backend
No longer has a `priority` attribute; priority for the backend
in managed internally by the library.
git_odb_add_backend(git_odb *odb, git_odb_backend *backend, int priority)
Now takes an additional priority parameter, the priority that
will be given to the backend.
ADDED:
git_odb_add_alternate(git_odb *odb, git_odb_backend *backend, int priority)
Add a backend as an alternate. Alternate backends have always
lower priority than main backends, and writing is disabled on
them.

Libgit2 is now officially include as
#include "<git2.h>"
or indidividual files may be included as
#include <git2/index.h>
Signed-off-by: Vicent Marti <tanoku@gmail.com>
The maze with include dependencies has been fixed.
There is now a global include:
#include <git.h>
The git_odb_backend API has been exposed.
