Initially, the setting has been solely used to enable the use of
`fsync()` when creating objects. Since then, the use has been extended
to also cover references and index files. As the option is not yet part
of any release, we can still correct this by renaming the option to
something more sensible, indicating not only correlation to objects.
This commit renames the option to `GIT_OPT_ENABLE_FSYNC_GITDIR`. We also
move the variable from the object to repository source code.
Verifying hashsums of objects we are reading from the ODB may be costly
as we have to perform an additional hashsum calculation on the object.
Especially when reading large objects, the penalty can be as high as
35%, as can be seen when executing the equivalent of `git cat-file` with
and without verification enabled. To mitigate for this, we add a global
option for libgit2 which enables the developer to turn off the
verification, e.g. when he can be reasonably sure that the objects on
disk won't be corrupted.
This can prevent FILE_SHARED_VIOLATIONS when used in tools such as TortoiseGit TGitCache and FILE_SHARE_DELETE, because files can be opened w/o being locked any more.

Introduce GIT_OPT_ENABLE_SYMBOLIC_REF_TARGET_VALIDATION option.
Setting this option to 0 allows
validation of a symbolic ref's target to be bypassed.
This option is enabled by default.
This mechanism is added primarily to address a discrepancy between git
behaviour and libgit2 behaviour, whereby the former allows the symbolic
ref target to carry an arbitrary string and the latter does not, so:
$ git symbolic-ref refs/heads/foo bar
$ cat .git/refs/heads/foo
ref: bar
where as attempting the same via libgit2 raises an error:
The given reference name 'bar' is not valid
this mechanism also allows those that might want to make use of
git's more lenient treatment of symbolic ref targets to do so.
Clang's documentation parser, which we use in our documentation system
does not report any comments for functions which use size_t as a type.
The root cause is buried somewhere in libclang but we can work around it
by defining the type ourselves. This typedef makes sure that libclang
sees it and that we do not change its size.
This ensures that when using OpenSSL a safe default set of ciphers
is selected. This is done so that the client communicates securely
and we don't accidentally enable unsafe ciphers like RC4, or even
worse some old export ciphers.
Implements the first part of https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/3682
This fixes an issue in Xcode 7.3 in objective-git where we get the error
"Include of non-modular header file in module". Not importing this
header again fixes the issue.
Allow users to set the `git_libgit2_opts` search path for the
`GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA`. Convert `GIT_CONFIG_LEVEL_PROGRAMDATA`
to `GIT_SYSDIR_PROGRAMDATA` for setting the configuration.
The reason is that the types defined in libgit2's inttypes.h collide with system inttypes.h
3rd party library header files may directly reference MSVC's built-in inttypes.h
Fixes#3476
This makes them show up in the reference, even if the text itself isn't
the most descriptive.

* Make GIT_INLINE an internal definition so it cannot be used in
public headers
* Fix language in CONTRIBUTING
* Make index caps API use signed instead of unsigned values
This adds docs for the cache control options to git_libgit2_opts
and also tweaks the cache code so that if the cache is disabled,
then the next time we attempt to insert something into the cache
in question, we will actually clear any old cached objects.
