git_commit() and git_tag() no longer prettify the
message by default. This has to be taken care of
by the caller.
This has the nice side effect of putting the
caller in position to actually choose to strip
the comments or not.
When processing status for a newly checked out repo, it is
possible that there will be submodules that have not yet been
initialized. The only way to distinguish these from untracked
directories is to have some knowledge of submodules. This
commit adds a new submodule API which, given a name or path,
can determine if it appears to be a submodule and can give
information about the submodule.
This reworks the diff API to separate the steps of producing
a diff descriptions from formatting the diff. This will allow
us to share diff output code with the various diff creation
scenarios and will allow us to implement rename detection as
an optional pass that can be run on a diff list.
This commit adds basic git notes support to libgit2, namely:
* git_note_read
* git_note_message
* git_note_oid
* git_note_create
* git_note_remove
In the long run, we probably want to provide some convenience callback
mechanism for merging and moving (filter-branch) notes.

This is legacy compat stuff for when `deflateBound` is not defined, but
we're not embedding zlib and that function is always available. Kill
that with fire.
See `global.c` for a description of what we're doing.
When libgit2 is built with GIT_THREADS support, the threading system
must be explicitly initialized with `git_threads_init()`.
I am aware the codename is not gramatically correct in any language.
Check the COPYING file for the detailed terms on libgit2's license. Check
the AUTHORS file for the full list of guilty parties.
As we slowly stabilize the API, we've dropped 1 function from the library,
and changed the signature of only 5 of them. There's of course a good
chunk of new functionality, and a thousand bug fixes.
In this release of libgit2:
- Changed `git_blob_rawsize`: Now returns `size_t` instead of int, allowing
files >4GB in 64 bit systems.
- Removed `git_commit_message_short`: Please use `git_commit_message`
to get the full message and decide which is the "short view" according
to your needs (first line, first 80 chars...)
- Added `git_commit_message_encoding`: Returns the encoding field of a commit
message, if it exists.
- Changed `git_commit_create`, `git_commit_create_v`: New argument `encoding`, which
adds a encoding field to the generated commit object.
- Added `git_config_find_system`: Returns the path to the system's global config
file (according to the Core Git standards).
- Changed `git_config_get_XX`, `git_config_set_XX`: the `long` and `int` types have
been replaced by `int64` and `int32` respectively, to make their meaning more
obvious.
- Added `git_indexer`: An interface to index Git Packfiles has been added in the
`git2/indexer.h` header.
- Changed `git_reflog_entry_XX`: Reflog entries are now returned as `git_oid *` objects
instead of hexadecimal OIDs.
- Added `git_remote`: More fetch functionality has been added to the `git2/remote.h`
functionality. Local, Smart HTTP and Git protocols are now supported.
- Added `git_repository_head`: Returns the HEAD of the repository.
- Added `git_repository_config_autoload`: Opens the configuration file of a repository,
including the user's and the system's global config files, if they can be found.
- Changed `git_signature_now`: Now returns an error code; the signature is stored by
reference.
1. The license header is technically not valid if it doesn't have a
copyright signature.
2. The COPYING file has been updated with the different licenses used in
the project.
3. The full GPLv2 header in each file annoys me.
This a very packed minor release. The usual guilty parties have been
working harder than usual during the holidays -- thanks to everyone
involved!
As always, the updated API docs can be found at:
http://libgit2.github.com/libgit2/
NEW FEATURES:
- New OS abstraction layer. This should make all POSIX calls much
more reliable under Windows.
- Much faster writes of simple objects (commits, tags, trees) to the
ODB via in-memory buffering and direct writes, instead of streaming.
- Unified & simplified API for object creation. All the `create`
methods now take Objects instead of OIDs to ensure that corrupted
(dangling) objects cannot be created on the repository.
- Fully Git-compilant reference renaming (finally!), with
the already existing `git_reference_rename`.
- Deletion of config keys with `git_config_delete`
- Greatly improved index performance when adding new entries
- Reflog support with the `git_reflog` API
- Remotes support with the `git_remote` API
- First parts of the Networking API, including refspecs and
the transport abstraction layer. (Note that there are no actual
transports implemented yet)
- Status support with the `git_status_foreach` and `git_status_file`
functions.
- Tons of bugfixes, including the outstanding bug #127 (wrong sort
ordering when querying tree entries).
KNOWN ISSUES:
- The reference renaming code leaks memory. This is being worked on
as part of a reference handling overhaul.
- The tree-from-index builder has abysmal performance because it
doesn't handle the Treecache extension yet. This is also being
worked on.

git_reflog_* API for basic reading and writing of reflogs:
* git_reflog_read
* git_reflog_write
* git_reflog_free

Move them to their own functions to avoid duplication and to make it
easier to ignore missing configuration.
Not finding 'fetch' is considered fatal, though this might not be
correct behaviour (push-only remotes?)

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.

- git_index_open_inrepo
- git_odb_backend_sqlite

Hey, welcome to yet another minor libgit2 release. Sorry for the delay from
the last one. As you'll see the changelog is quite extensive -- hopefully from
now on we'll stick to more frequent minor releases.
Together with the usual bugfixes, here's a list of the new key features:
* Distfiles
This version comes with proper distfiles as requested in #131. These are
available in the Downloads section of the GitHub project.
* Error handling
A new error handling API has been implemented that allows the library to
return detailed error messages together with the generic error codes. We
hope this will be a great when wrapping and integrating the library
New external method to get the last detailed error message:
+ git_lasterror(void)
The old `git_strerror` still exists, but will be deprecated in the future
as soon as every method in the library returns a valid error message.
The task of writing error messages for every method is quite daunting.
We appreciate pull requests with more error messages. Check the new error
handling documentation in the following commit:
fa59f18d0d
* Redis backend
We now have a Redis backend courtesy of Dmitry Kovega. Just like the
SQLite backend, this allows the library to store Git objects in a Redis
key-value store.
The backend requires the `hiredis` library. Use `--with-redis` when
building libgit2 to enable building the backend if `hiredis` is available.
* Commits
New methods to access tree and parent data as a raw OID value
instead of forcing a repository lookup
+ git_commit_tree_oid(git_commit *commit)
+ git_commit_parent_oid(git_commit *commit, unsigned int n)
* Index
The `git_index_add` method has been split into 4 different calls
which allow for appending and replacing in-memory entries and on-disk
files to the index.
+ git_index_add(git_index *index, const char *path, int stage)
+ git_index_add2(git_index *index, const git_index_entry *source_entry)
+ git_index_append(git_index *index, const char *path, int stage)
+ git_index_append2(git_index *index, const git_index_entry *source_entry)
Index entries can now also be efficiently removed from the index:
+ git_index_remove(git_index *index, int position)
* References
Methods to force the creation and renaming of references, even if those already
exist on the repository.
+ git_reference_create_symbolic_f(git_reference **ref_out, git_repository *repo,
const char *name, const char *target)
+ git_reference_create_oid_f(git_reference **ref_out, git_repository *repo,
const char *name, const git_oid *id)
+ git_reference_rename_f(git_reference *ref, const char *new_name)
* Repository
New auxiliary methods with repository information
+ git_repository_is_empty(git_repository *repo)
+ git_repository_path(git_repository *repo)
+ git_repository_workdir(git_repository *repo)
* Signatures
New method to create a signature with the current date/time
+ git_signature_now(const char *name, const char *email)
* Tags
Several wrappers to automate tag creation.
+ git_tag_create_frombuffer(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo,
const char *buffer)
+ git_tag_create_f(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo,
const char *tag_name, const git_oid *target,
git_otype target_type, const git_signature *tagger,
const char *message);
+ git_tag_create_fo(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo,
const char *tag_name, const git_object *target,
const git_signature *tagger, const char *message)
New functionality to delete and list tags in a repository without
having to resort to the `references` API.
+ git_tag_delete(git_repository *repo, const char *tag_name)
+ git_tag_list(git_strarray *tag_names, git_repository *repo)
* Trees
All instances of `git_tree_entry` are now returned and handled
as constant, to remind the user that these opaque types are not
supposed to be manually free'd.
The `git_tree_entry_2object` method now takes a `git_repository`
argument which defines in which repository the resolved object
should be looked up. (It is expected to be the same repository
that contains the parent `git_tree` for the entry).
+ git_tree_entry_2object(git_object **object_out, git_repository *repo,
const git_tree_entry *entry)
New opaque type `git_treebuilder` with functionality to create and
write trees on memory
+ git_treebuilder_create(git_treebuilder **builder_p, const git_tree *source)
+ git_treebuilder_clear(git_treebuilder *bld)
+ git_treebuilder_free(git_treebuilder *bld)
+ git_treebuilder_get(git_treebuilder *bld, const char *filename)
+ git_treebuilder_insert(git_tree_entry **entry_out, git_treebuilder *bld,
const char *filename, const git_oid *id, unsigned int attributes)
+ git_treebuilder_remove(git_treebuilder *bld, const char *filename)
+ git_treebuilder_filter(git_treebuilder *bld,
int (*filter)(const git_tree_entry *, void *), void *payload)
+ git_treebuilder_write(git_oid *oid, git_repository *repo, git_treebuilder *bld)
New method to write an index file as a tree to the ODB.
+ git_tree_create_fromindex(git_oid *oid, git_index *index)
Thanks to the usual guility parties that make this this happen, to
all the new contributors who are starting to submit pull requests, and
to the bindings developers who have to keep up with our shit.

- Pack backend rewritten from scratch (better)
- Revision walker rewritten from scratch (faster)
- New object interdependency system (stronger)
- Unique OID shortener
