  64=head1 DESCRIPTION
  65
  66This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
  67system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
  68commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
  69for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
  70the generic command interface.
  71
  72While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
  73or 'init'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
  74means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
  75(In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
  76called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
  77repository.
  78
  79Part of the "repository state" is also information about path to the attached
  80working copy (unless you work with a bare repository). You can also navigate
  81inside of the working copy using the C<wc_chdir()> method. (Note that
  82the repository object is self-contained and will not change working directory
  83of your process.)
  84
  85TODO: In the future, we might also do
  86
  87        my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
  88        $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
  89        my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
  90
  91Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
  92it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
  93to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
  94increase notwithstanding).

 111=item repository ( OPTIONS )
 112
 113=item repository ( DIRECTORY )
 114
 115=item repository ()
 116
 117Construct a new repository object.
 118C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
 119Possible options are:
 120
 121B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
 122
 123B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
 124as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
 125
 126B<WorkingSubdir> - Subdirectory in the working copy to work inside.
 127Just left undefined if you do not want to limit the scope of operations.
 128
 129B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup.
 130The C<.git> directory is searched in the directory and all the parent
 131directories; if found, C<WorkingCopy> is set to the directory containing
 132it and C<Repository> to the C<.git> directory itself. If no C<.git>
 133directory was found, the C<Directory> is assumed to be a bare repository,
 134C<Repository> is set to point at it and C<WorkingCopy> is left undefined.
 135If the C<$GIT_DIR> environment variable is set, things behave as expected
 136as well.
 137
 138You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
 139C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
 140
 141Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
 142to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
 143field.
 144
 145Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
 146calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>. In general, if you are building
 147a standard porcelain command, simply doing C<< Git->repository() >> should
 148do the right thing and setup the object to reflect exactly where the user
 149is right now.

 234=item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
 235
 236=item command ( [ COMMAND, ARGUMENTS... ], { Opt => Val ... } )
 237
 238Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
 239prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
 240
 241The second more elaborate form can be used if you want to further adjust
 242the command execution. Currently, only one option is supported:
 243
 244B<STDERR> - How to deal with the command's error output. By default (C<undef>)
 245it is delivered to the caller's C<STDERR>. A false value (0 or '') will cause
 246it to be thrown away. If you want to process it, you can get it in a filehandle
 247you specify, but you must be extremely careful; if the error output is not
 248very short and you want to read it in the same process as where you called
 249C<command()>, you are set up for a nice deadlock!
 250
 251The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
 252(in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
 253
 254In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
 255(verbatim).
 256
 257In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
 258command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
 259
 260In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.

 366is required if you want to see the command name in the error message,

 446to the standard output of the caller application.

 448While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
 449it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
 450stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.

 687This function returns a hashref of refs stored in a given remote repository.
 688The hash is in the format C<refname =\> hash>. For tags, the C<refname> entry
 689contains the tag object while a C<refname^{}> entry gives the tagged objects.
 690
 691C<REPOSITORY> has the same meaning as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
 692argument; either an URL or a remote name (if called on a repository instance).
 693C<GROUPS> is an optional arrayref that can contain 'tags' to return all the
 694tags and/or 'heads' to return all the heads. C<REFGLOB> is an optional array
 695of strings containing a shell-like glob to further limit the refs returned in
 696the hash; the meaning is again the same as the appropriate C<git-ls-remote>
 697argument.
 698

 743in the commit and tag objects or produced by C<var GIT_type_IDENT> (thus
 744C<TYPE> can be either I<author> or I<committer>; case is insignificant).
 745
 746The C<ident> method retrieves the ident information from C<git var>
 747and either returns it as a scalar string or as an array with the fields parsed.
 748Alternatively, it can take a prepared ident string (e.g. from the commit
 749object) and just parse it.
 750
 751C<ident_person> returns the person part of the ident - name and email;
 752it can take the same arguments as C<ident> or the array returned by C<ident>.
 753

 954
 955Attempts to retreive the temporary file mapped to the string C<NAME>. If an
 956associated temp file has not been created this session or was closed, it is
 957created, cached, and set for autoflush and binmode.
 958
 959Internally locks the file mapped to C<NAME>. This lock must be released with
 960C<temp_release()> when the temp file is no longer needed. Subsequent attempts
 961to retrieve temporary files mapped to the same C<NAME> while still locked will
 962cause an error. This locking mechanism provides a weak guarantee and is not
 963threadsafe. It does provide some error checking to help prevent temp file refs
 964writing over one another.
 965
 966In general, the L<File::Handle> returned should not be closed by consumers as
 967it defeats the purpose of this caching mechanism. If you need to close the temp
 968file handle, then you should use L<File::Temp> or another temp file faculty
 969directly. If a handle is closed and then requested again, then a warning will
 970issue.

 985Releases a lock acquired through C<temp_acquire()>. Can be called either with

 987referencing a locked temp file.
 988
 989Warns if an attempt is made to release a file that is not locked.
 990
 991The temp file will be truncated before being released. This can help to reduce
 992disk I/O where the system is smart enough to detect the truncation while data
 993is in the output buffers. Beware that after the temp file is released and
 994truncated, any operations on that file may fail miserably until it is
 995re-acquired. All contents are lost between each release and acquire mapped to
 996the same string.

1098=head1 ERROR HANDLING
1099
1100All functions are supposed to throw Perl exceptions in case of errors.
1101See the L<Error> module on how to catch those. Most exceptions are mere
1102L<Error::Simple> instances.
1103
1104However, the C<command()>, C<command_oneline()> and C<command_noisy()>
1105functions suite can throw C<Git::Error::Command> exceptions as well: those are
1106thrown when the external command returns an error code and contain the error
1107code as well as access to the captured command's output. The exception class
1108provides the usual C<stringify> and C<value> (command's exit code) methods and
1109in addition also a C<cmd_output> method that returns either an array or a
1110string with the captured command output (depending on the original function
1111call context; C<command_noisy()> returns C<undef>) and $<cmdline> which
1112returns the command and its arguments (but without proper quoting).
1113
1114Note that the C<command_*_pipe()> functions cannot throw this exception since
1115it has no idea whether the command failed or not. You will only find out
1116at the time you C<close> the pipe; if you want to have that automated,
1117use C<command_close_pipe()>, which can throw the exception.

1168
1169This magical statement will automatically catch any C<Git::Error::Command>
1170exceptions thrown by C<CODE> and make your program die with C<ERRMSG>
1171on its lips; the message will have %s substituted for the command line
1172and %d for the exit status. This statement is useful mostly for producing
1173more user-friendly error messages.
