This moves some of the odb_backend stuff that is related to the
internals of an odb_backend implementation into include/git2/sys.
Some of the stuff related to streaming I left in include/git2
because it seemed like it would be reasonably needed by a normal
user who wanted to stream objects into and out of the ODB.
Also, I added APIs for traversing the list of backends so that
some of the tests would not need to access ODB internals.
This adds some hooks into the filesystem iterator so that the
workdir iterator can just become a wrapper around it. Then we
remove most of the workdir iterator code and just have it augment
the filesystem iterator with skipping .git entries, updating the
ignore stack, and checking for submodules.
This adds a new variant iterator that is a raw filesystem iterator
for scanning directories from a root. There is still more work to
do to blend this with the working directory iterator.
If the on-disk file has been staged (it's stat data matches the stat data
in the cache) then we need not hash the file to determine whether it
differs from the checkout target; instead we can simply use the oid in
the index.
This prevents recomputing a file's hash unnecessarily, prevents loading
the file (when filtering) and prevents edge cases where filters suggest
that a file is dirty immediately after git writes the file.
This is the last minor release before 1.0preview1.
Highlights of this release include:
- Branch API
- Checkout head, index and tree
- Finished clone support
- Abstracted reference API to use custom backends
- Full diff support
- New (faster) packbuilder
- Push support
- New Remotes API
- Revparse support (single and range commits)
- Stash support
- Submodules support
As always, the full changelog is available at:

Yeah, it's a huge release. Releasing stuff sucks.
Expect 1.0 and API freeze in less than a month.

Don't try to update anything if there are no heads to update. This
saves us from trying to look into a fetch refspec when there is none.
A better fix for compatibility with git when using remotes without
refspecs is still needed, but this stops us from segfaulting.
