纯C语言实现的 Git 核心开发包， libgit2 v0.23.0 发布

libgit2 是一个可移植、纯C语言实现的 Git 核心开发包，你可以使用它来编写自定义的 Git 应用。

libgit2已被广泛应用在许多应用程序上，包括GitHub网站，还被应用在Plastic SCM和强大的微软Visual Studio工具箱。

libgit2 v0.23.0 发布，该版本是 v0.23 系列的最终版，相比 v0.22 增加了许多新特性并修复了许多 bug。部分更新内容如下：

Changes or improvements

• Patience and minimal diff drivers can now be used for merges.

• Merges can now ignore whitespace changes.

• Updated binary identification in CRLF filtering to avoid false positives in
  UTF-8 files.

• Rename and copy detection is enabled for small files.

• Checkout can now handle an initial checkout of a repository, making
  GIT_CHECKOUT_SAFE_CREATE unnecessary for users of clone.

• The signature parameter in the ref-modifying functions has been
  removed. Use git_repository_set_ident() and
  git_repository_ident() to override the signature to be used.

• The local transport now auto-scales the number of threads to use
  when creating the packfile instead of sticking to one.

• Reference renaming now uses the right id for the old value.

• The annotated version of branch creation, HEAD detaching and reset
  allow for specifying the expression from the user to be put into the
  reflog.

• git_rebase_commit now returns GIT_EUNMERGED when you attempt to
  commit with unstaged changes.

• On Mac OS X, we now use SecureTransport to provide the cryptographic
  support for HTTPS connections insead of OpenSSL.

• Checkout can now accept an index for the baseline computations via the
  baseline_index member.

• The configuration for fetching is no longer stored inside the
  git_remote struct but has been moved to a git_fetch_options. The
  remote functions now take these options or the callbacks instead of
  setting them beforehand.

• git_submodule instances are no longer cached or shared across
  lookup. Each submodule represents the configuration at the time of
  loading.

• The index now uses diffs for add_all() and update_all() which
  gives it a speed boost and closer semantics to git.

• The ssh transport now reports the stderr output from the server as
  the error message, which allows you to get the "repository not
  found" messages.

• git_index_conflict_add() will remove staged entries that exist for
  conflicted paths.

• The flags for a git_diff_file will now have the GIT_DIFF_FLAG_EXISTS
  bit set when a file exists on that side of the diff.  This is useful
  for understanding whether a side of the diff exists in the presence of
  a conflict.

• The constructor for a write-stream into the odb now takes
  git_off_t instead of size_t for the size of the blob, which
  allows putting large files into the odb on 32-bit systems.

• The remote's push and pull URLs now honor the url.$URL.insteadOf
  configuration. This allows modifying URL prefixes to a custom
  value via gitconfig.

• git_diff_foreach, git_diff_blobs, git_diff_blob_to_buffer,
  and git_diff_buffers now accept a new binary callback of type
  git_diff_binary_cb that includes the binary diff information.

• The race condition mitigations described in racy-git.txt have been
  implemented.

• If libcurl is installed, we will use it to connect to HTTP(S)
  servers.
