    • 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.

    • worktree: implement `git_worktree_open_from_repository` · 3017ba94
      While we already provide functionality to look up a worktree from a
      repository, we cannot do so the other way round. That is given a
      repository, we want to look up its worktree if it actually exists.
      Getting the worktree of a repository is useful when we want to get
      certain meta information like the parent's location, getting the locked
      status, etc.
