    • libgit2 version 0.10.0, "very disco" · 7064938b 
      A version *so* awesome that needs 2 version bumps AND a codename.

Major features:

	- New internal garbage collection (harder)
	- Pack backend rewritten from scratch (better)
	- Revision walker rewritten from scratch (faster)
	- New object interdependency system (stronger)
	- Unique OID shortener
	- Reference listing

In honor of one heck of a music album, released ten years ago,
yesterday.

    • Fix the retarded object interdependency system · 6b2a1941 
      It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs
instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster,
specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even
segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome?

What has changed on the API?

	`git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return
	their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code.

	`git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error
	code and may fail.

	`git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's
	stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between
	objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC
	never fails or double-free's pointers.

	`git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object
	as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the
	object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from
	the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's
	100% safe.

	`git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector
	pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible.
	This is useful if we are running out of memory.

    • Add new method `git_reference_listall` · 00571828 
      Lists all the references in a repository. Listing may be filtered by
reference type.

This should applease Lord Clem.

    • Rewrite the Pack backend · 58d06cf1 
      The new pack backend is an adaptation of the original git.git code in
`sha1_file.c`. It's slightly faster than the previous version and
severely less memory-hungry.

The call-stack of a normal pack backend query has been properly
documented in the top of the header for future reference. And by
properly I mean with ASCII diagrams 'n shit.

    • Rewrite the Revision Walker · 71db842f 
      The new revision walker uses an internal Commit object storage system,
custom memory allocator and much improved topological and time sorting
algorithms. It's about 20x times faster than the previous implementation
when browsing big repositories.

The following external API calls have changed:

	`git_revwalk_next` returns an OID instead of a full commit object.
	The initial call to `git_revwalk_next` is no longer blocking when
	iterating through a repo with a time-sorting mode.

	Iterating with Topological or inverted modes still makes the initial
	call blocking to preprocess the commit list, but this block should be
	mostly unnoticeable on most repositories (topological preprocessing
	times at 0.3s on the git.git repo).

	`git_revwalk_push` and `git_revwalk_hide` now take an OID instead
	of a full commit object.

    • Add `git_oid_shorten` (unique OID minimzer) · 26022f07 
      Set of methods to find the minimal-length to uniquely identify every OID
in a list. Useful for GUI applications, commit logs and so on.

Includes stress test.
