    • str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external · f0e693b1
      libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by
      `git_buf`.  We require:
      
      1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs
         for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc).
      2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they
         can take ownership of.
      
      By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have
      confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and
      reasoning about correctness is also difficult.
      
      Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents
      its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class.  The name also
      is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr").
      
      The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint.  It
      is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that
      follow the documentation.  (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to
      avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.)
      
      Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a
      `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it
      back again.

    • config: pass repository when opening config files · 529e873c
      Our current configuration logic is completely oblivious of any
      repository, but only cares for actual file paths. Unfortunately, we are
      forced to break this assumption by the introduction of conditional
      includes, which are evaluated in the context of a repository. Right now,
      only one conditional exists with "gitdir:" -- it will only include the
      configuration if the current repository's git directory matches the
      value passed to "gitdir:".
      
      To support these conditionals, we have to break our API and make the
      repository available when opening a configuration file. This commit
      extends the `open` call of configuration backends to include another
      repository and adjusts existing code to have it available. This includes
      the user-visible functions `git_config_add_file_ondisk` and
      `git_config_add_backend`.

    • config: borrow refcounted references · 9a97f49e
      This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
      the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
      
      This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
      on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
      
      For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
      new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
      a git_buf which the user then owns.
      
      The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
      borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.

    • Add config level support in the config API · a1abe66a
      Added `struct git_config_entry`: a git_config_entry contains the key, the value, and the config file level from which a config element was found.
      Added `git_config_open_level`: build a single-level focused config object from a multi-level one.
      
      We are now storing `git_config_entry`s in the khash of the config_file
