  57=head1 DESCRIPTION
  58
  59This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
  60system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
  61commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
  62for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
  63the generic command interface.
  64
  65While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
  66or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
  67means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
  68(In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
  69called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
  70repository.
  71
  72Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
  73working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
  74inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
  75the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
  76of your process.)
  77
  78TODO: In the future, we might also do
  79
  80        my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
  81        $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
  82        my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
  83
  84Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
  85it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
  86to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
  87increate nonwithstanding).

 103=item repository ( OPTIONS )
 104
 105=item repository ( DIRECTORY )
 106
 107=item repository ()
 108
 109Construct a new repository object.
 110C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
 111Possible options are:
 112
 113B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
 114
 115B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
 116as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
 117
 118B<WorkingSubdir> - Subdirectory in the working copy to work inside.
 119Just left undefined if you do not want to limit the scope of operations.
 120
 121B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup.
 122The C<.git> directory is searched in the directory and all the parent
 123directories; if found, C<WorkingCopy> is set to the directory containing
 124it and C<Repository> to the C<.git> directory itself. If no C<.git>
 125directory was found, the C<Directory> is assumed to be a bare repository,
 126C<Repository> is set to point at it and C<WorkingCopy> is left undefined.
 127If the C<$GIT_DIR> environment variable is set, things behave as expected
 128as well.
 129
 130You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
 131C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
 132
 133Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
 134to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
 135field.
 136
 137Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
 138calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>. In general, if you are building
 139a standard porcelain command, simply doing C<< Git->repository() >> should
 140do the right thing and setup the object to reflect exactly where the user
 141is right now.

 226=item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
 227
 228=item command ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
 229
 230Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
 231prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
 232
 233The second more elaborate form can be used if you want to further adjust
 234the command execution. Currently, only one option is supported:
 235
 236B<STDERR> - How to deal with the command's error output. By default (C<undef>)
 237it is delivered to the caller's C<STDERR>. A false value (0 or '') will cause
 238it to be thrown away. If you want to process it, you can get it in a filehandle
 239you specify, but you must be extremely careful; if the error output is not
 240very short and you want to read it in the same process as where you called
 241C<command()>, you are set up for a nice deadlock!
 242
 243The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
 244(in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
 245
 246In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
 247(verbatim).
 248
 249In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
 250command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
 251
 252In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.

 341does but return an input pipe filehandle instead; the command output
 342is not captured.

 354=item command_close_pipe ( PIPE [, CTX ] )
 355
 356Close the C<PIPE> as returned from C<command_*_pipe()>, checking
 357whether the command finished successfully. The optional C<CTX> argument
 358is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,
 359and it is the second value returned by C<command_*_pipe()> when
 360called in array context. The call idiom is:
 361
 362        my ($fh, $ctx) = $r->command_output_pipe('status');
 363        while (<$fh>) { ... }
 364        $r->command_close_pipe($fh, $ctx);
 365
 366Note that you should not rely on whatever actually is in C<CTX>;
 367currently it is simply the command name but in future the context might
 368have more complicated structure.

 380
 381Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
 382capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
 383to the standard output of the caller application.
 384
 385While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
 386it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
 387stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.

 553=item ident ( TYPE | IDENTSTR )
 554
 555=item ident_person ( TYPE | IDENTSTR | IDENTARRAY )
 556
 557This suite of functions retrieves and parses ident information, as stored
 558in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
 559C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
 560
 561The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git-var>
 562and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
 563Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
 564object) and just parse it.
 565
 566C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
 567it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
 568
 569The synopsis is like:
 570
 571        my ($name, $email, $time_tz) = ident('author');
 572        "$name <$email>" eq ident_person('author');
 573        "$name <$email>" eq ident_person($name);
 574        $time_tz =~ /^\d+ [+-]\d{4}$/;

 602=item hash_object ( TYPE, FILENAME )

 604Compute the SHA1 object id of the given C<FILENAME> (or data waiting in
 605C<FILEHANDLE>) considering it is of the C<TYPE> object type (C<blob>,
 606C<commit>, C<tree>).
 607
 608The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository,
 609it makes zero difference.

 625=head1 ERROR HANDLING
 626
 627All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
 628See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
 629L<Error::Simple> instances.
 630
 631However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
 632functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
 633thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
 634code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
 635provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
 636in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
 637string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
 638call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
 639returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
 640
 641Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
 642it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
 643at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
 644use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

 694=item git_cmd_try { CODE } ERRMSG
 695
 696This magical statement will automatically catch any C<Git::Error::Command>
 697exceptions thrown by C<CODE> and make your program die with C<ERRMSG>
 698on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
 699and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
 700more user-friendly error messages.
 701
 702In case of no exception caught the statement returns C<CODE>'s return value.
