Reconcile the changes between the ffi changes upstream with the changes
to libgit2 in the dev branch.
Conflicts:
src/config.c
src/options.c
src/refspec.c
src/remote.c
This halves the amount of code we have to take into account for dealing
with the config.
There is a slight change in the API. Config.get_multivar() returns an
iterator instead of a list, which lets us reuse code from the general
iterator and is closer to libgit2's API.
The C API expects a non-NULL new name and raises an assertion if we
don't protect against such input, so let's guard against falsy values,
which also takes care of the empty string, which is also not valid
input.
Casting a pointer to a non-pointer type is something which you should
never do. Instead, do something a bit more convoluted, but which is
guaranteed to give us the right pointer, as well as making sure that the
memory we exchange between python/cffi and the C extension is of the
right pointer size.
While we're touching this code, fix which object we pass to the Remote
constructor to keep alive. We need to pass the Repository object to
stop it from becoming unreferenced (and thus freeing memory the remote
needs) instead of the git_repository pointer.
The documentation recommends adding the ffi code as an extension so it
gets built at the right time.
Make use of the LIBGIT2 environment variable to build and link the ffi
module the same way the C extension does so the user doesn't have to
export CFLAGS.
Pass the contents of the buffer containing the git_oid to bytes() so
build a raw representation of its contents. Using bytes(ffi.buffer(...))
returns the representation of the buffer.
This moves enough code into python with CFFI to pass the test_remotes
unit tests. There is no credentials support yet.
There is a small change in the return value of Remote.fetch() in that we
now return a TransferProgress object instead of extracting a few values
into a dictionary.
It claims you need to checkout a branch after clone, which is not the
case currently (the clone function will do it for you).
While here, format the docstring for sphinx to make it pretty.
