This change adds support for git smart transports. This will be then
used to implement http, https, and ssh transports that don't rely on the
libgit2 library.
This change makes all non-user-creatable structures non-comparable. This
makes it easier to add changes later that don't introduce breaking
changes from the go compatibility guarantees perspective.
This, of course, implies that this change _is_ a breaking change, but since
these structures are not intended to be created by users (or de-referenced),
it should be okay.
This change:
* Gets rid of the `.toC()` functions for Options objects, since they
were redundant with the `populateXxxOptions()`.
* Adds support for `errorTarget` to the `RemoteOptions`, since they are
used in the same stack for some functions (like `Fetch()`). Now for
those cases, the error returned by the callback will be preserved
as-is.
This change is a preparation for another change that makes all callback
types return a Go error instead of an error code / an integer. That is
going to make make things a lot more idiomatic.
The reason this change is split is threefold:
a) This change is mostly mechanical and should contain no semantic
changes.
b) This change is backwards-compatible (in the Go API compatibility
sense of the word), and thus can be backported to all other releases.
c) It makes the other change a bit smaller and more focused on just one
thing.
Concretely, this change makes all callbacks populate a Go error when
they fail. If the callback is invoked from the same stack as the
function to which it was passed (e.g. for `Tree.Walk`), it will preserve
the error object directly into a struct that also holds the callback
function. Otherwise if the callback is pased to one func and will be
invoked when run from another one (e.g. for `Repository.InitRebase`),
the error string is saved into the libgit2 thread-local storage and then
re-created as a `GitError`.
This change introduces the file deprecated.go, which contains any
constants, functions, and types that are slated to be deprecated in the
next major release.
These symbols are deprecated because they refer to old spellings in
pre-1.0 libgit2. This also makes the build be done with the
`-DDEPRECATE_HARD` flag to avoid regressions.
This, together with
[gorelease](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/exp/cmd/gorelease)[1] should
make releases safer going forward.

Prior to this change you could not specifiy proxy options on the
FetchOptions struct, which made it impossible to specify a proxy for an
initial clone. This change adds the ProxyOptions to the FetchOptions
struct so you can go through a proxy when cloning.
This change adds Cred.Free() and finalizers to prevent memory leaks. It
also makes the interface for Cred more idiomatic and return actual
errors intead of ints.
Especially in 1.8, the garbage collector can decide to finalize an object even
as we are in one of its methods. This means it can free a remote while we're in
one of its calls, as we're referencing the pointer inside the object, rather
than the `Remote` itself.
The Fetch/Push operations didn't allocate the git_*_options structure
and this causes a memory problem in the libgit2 code. Following the
example of Clone operation, the Fetch/Push functions allocates the
options structure before calling the C.
As it seems to be something that many people can't get over, reformat
all the files; as we're breaking things, whoever depended on 'next' will
have to take many changes into account anyway, so let's include this to
reduce the noise of incoming patches.
There's been some changes to the checkout strategy, especially the
SAFE_CREATE mode, which is now the RECREATE_MISSING flag, though that
shouldn't be necessary to use in the general case.
The largest changes come from the removal of the signture from
ref-modifying functions/methods and the removal of the reflog string in
all but those directly related to moving references.
