reference_rename used to delete an old reflog file when renaming a
reference to not confuse git.git. Don't do this anymore but let the user
take care of writing a reflog entry.

There is no good reason to expose the negotiation as a different step

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()`.
This new version of the references code is significantly faster and
hopefully easier to read.
External API stays the same. A new method `git_reference_reload()` has
been added to force updating a memory reference from disk. In-memory
references are no longer updated automagically -- this was killing us.
If a reference is deleted externally and the user doesn't reload the
memory object, nothing critical happens: any functions using that
reference should fail gracefully (e.g. deletion, renaming, and so on).
All generated references from the API are read only and must be free'd
by the user. There is no reference counting and no traces of generated
references are kept in the library.
There is no longer an internal representation for references. There is
only one reference struct `git_reference`, and symbolic/oid targets are
stored inside an union.
Packfile references are stored using an optimized struct with flex array
for reference names. This should significantly reduce the memory cost of
loading the packfile from disk.
Currently libgit2 shares pointers to its internal reference cache with
the user. This leads to several problems like invalidation of reference
pointers when reordering the cache or manipulation of the cache from
user side.
Give each user its own git_reference instead of leaking the internal
representation (struct reference).
Add the following new API functions:
* git_reference_free
* git_reference_is_packed

Our previous assumption that all paths in Windows are encoded in UTF-8
is rather weak, specially when considering that Git is
encoding-agnostic.
These set of functions allow the user to change the library's active
codepage globally, so it is possible to access paths and files on all
international versions of Windows.
Note that the default encoding here is UTF-8 because we assume that 99%
of all Git repositories will be in UTF-8.
Also, if you use non-ascii characters in paths, anywhere, please burn on
a fire.
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.
git_repository_config wants to take the global and system paths again
so that one can be explicit if needed.
The git_repository_config_autoload function is provided for the cases
when it's good enough for the library to guess where those files are
located.

There were quite a few places were spaces were being used instead of
tabs. Try to catch them all. This should hopefully not break anything.
Except for `git blame`. Oh well.
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.
As we no longer expose the transport functions, this is now the only
way to connect to a remote when given an URL instead of a remote name

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.

The `hashfile` function has been moved to ODB, next to `git_odb_hash`.
Global state has been removed from the dirent call in `status.c`,
because global state is killing the rainforest and causing global
warming.
Add git_status_hashfile() to get blob's object id for a file without adding
it to the object database or needing a repository at all.
This functionality is similar to `git hash-object` without '-w'.
So far libgit2 didn't support reference logs (reflog). Add a new
git_reflog_* API for basic reading and writing of reflogs:
* git_reflog_read
* git_reflog_write
* git_reflog_free

A bunch of redundant methods have been removed from the external API.
- All the reference/tag creation methods with `_f` are gone. The force
flag is now passed as an argument to the normal create methods.
- All the different commit creation methods are gone; commit creation
now always requires a `git_commit` pointer for parents and a `git_tree`
pointer for tree, to ensure that corrupted commits cannot be generated.
- All the different tag creation methods are gone; tag creation now
always requires a `git_object` pointer to ensure that tags are not
created to inexisting objects.
Remove the unused repo and private pointers and make the direction a
flag, as it can only have two states. Change the connect signature to
use an int instead of git_net_direction and remove that enum.
