The keyword for linking to a mehtod is 'meth', not 'method'. Setting the
'currentmodule' allows us to link without the 'pygit2' prefix in the
link text.
Passing a tuple to the mapping interface isn't the best of interfaces,
as the key is only the string.
Instead, expose `Config.get_bool()` and `Config.get_int()` methods to
parse the values as per the git-config rules before returning the
appropriate type to the user.
The mapping interface itself returns a string.
The type of a config value depends on the tool that interprets
it. Parsing eagerly can lead to a situation where we return a bool
instead of a string or a number.
Let the user specify the type themselves by passing in a (str, type)
tuple into the mapping interface.
It seems I have been forgetting to update the documentation with the
last few changes, so adjust to the oid -> id renaming and add missing
attributes to the listings.
This allows for efficient reading of many references and their targets,
without incurring the overhead of lookup_reference() (which stats for
a loose ref and then reads packed-refs) which can be expensive on NFS
with thousands of refs.
API changes:
- Rename Commit._message to Commit.raw_message
- Rename Signature._name to Signature.raw_name
- Rename Signature._email to Signature.raw_email
New features:
- Remote.push(refspec)
- Tag.get_object()
And some bugs fixed.
Thanks to Brodie Rao, Fraser Tweedale, Andrew Chin and Carlos Martín
Nieto.
Implement push support via Remote.push which is called with a single
refspec and raises GitError (with an appropriate message where
possible) if the push fails.
Note that local push to non-bare repository is currently not
supported by libgit2.
API changes:
- New Oid type
- Changed signature of Repository.create_reference
- Reference.oid and Reference.hex removed, use Reference.target instead
- Drop "del Index[path]" from the API, use Index.remove(path) instead
- Drop TreeEntry.to_object
- Changed signature of Repository.checkout
- Repository.create_blob_from_file removed, use instead new methods
Repository.create_blob_fromworkdir and
Repository.create_blob_from_disk
New features:
- Add len(TreeBuilder) and TreeBuilder.get
- Add Repository.merge_base
- Support changing the head with "Repository.head = refname"
- Improved support for diff
- Add support for clone
- Python 2: Support hex oids as byte strings
- Add Reference.get_object()
- Add Remote.save
- Add support for branches, new type Branch
Other:
- Upgraded to libgit2 0.19
- Partial documentation review
