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.
Tests are now declared with detailed descriptions and a short test name:
BEGIN_TEST(the_test0, "this is an example test that does something")
...
END_TEST
Modules are declared through a simple macro interface:
BEGIN_MODULE(mod_name)
ADD_TEST(the_test0);
...
END_MODULE
Error messages when tests fail have been greatly improved.

NIH Enterprises presents: a new testing system based on CuTesT, which is
faster than our previous one and fortunately uses no preprocessing on
the source files, which means we can run that from CMake.
The test suites have been gathered together into bigger files (one file
per suite, testing each of the different submodules of the library).
