Introduce Git.pm (v4)
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module
with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like;
most functions are missing, but this should give some good base.
I will continue expanding it.
Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding
input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking
with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix.
Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv.
I will send them as follow-ups to this patch.
Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that
is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in
various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also
Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with
libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using
libgit.
This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as
an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result
is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this
one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around).
Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some
whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl);
at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this
is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend
the patch.
My current working state is available all the time at
http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm
and an irregularily updated API documentation is at
http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.html
Many thanks to Jakub Narebski, Junio and others for their feedback.
