+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module provides Perl scripts easy way to interface the Git version control
+system. The modules have an easy and well-tested way to call arbitrary Git
+commands; in the future, the interface will also provide specialized methods
+for doing easily operations which are not totally trivial to do over
+the generic command interface.
+
+While some commands can be executed outside of any context (e.g. 'version'
+or 'init-db'), most operations require a repository context, which in practice
+means getting an instance of the Git object using the repository() constructor.
+(In the future, we will also get a new_repository() constructor.) All commands
+called as methods of the object are then executed in the context of the
+repository.
+
+TODO: In the future, we might also do
+
+ my $subdir = $repo->subdir('Documentation');
+ # Gets called in the subdirectory context:
+ $subdir->command('status');
+
+ my $remoterepo = $repo->remote_repository (Name => 'cogito', Branch => 'master');
+ $remoterepo ||= Git->remote_repository ('http://git.or.cz/cogito.git/');
+ my @refs = $remoterepo->refs();
+
+So far, all functions just die if anything goes wrong. If you don't want that,
+make appropriate provisions to catch the possible deaths. Better error recovery
+mechanisms will be provided in the future.
+
+Currently, the module merely wraps calls to external Git tools. In the future,
+it will provide a much faster way to interact with Git by linking directly
+to libgit. This should be completely opaque to the user, though (performance
+increate nonwithstanding).

+=head1 CONSTRUCTORS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item repository ( OPTIONS )
+
+=item repository ( DIRECTORY )
+
+=item repository ()
+
+Construct a new repository object.
+C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+
+B<Repository> - Path to the Git repository.
+
+B<WorkingCopy> - Path to the associated working copy; not strictly required
+as many commands will happily crunch on a bare repository.
+
+B<Directory> - Path to the Git working directory in its usual setup. This
+is just for convenient setting of both C<Repository> and C<WorkingCopy>
+at once: If the directory as a C<.git> subdirectory, C<Repository> is pointed
+to the subdirectory and the directory is assumed to be the working copy.
+If the directory does not have the subdirectory, C<WorkingCopy> is left
+undefined and C<Repository> is pointed to the directory itself.
+
+B<GitPath> - Path to the C<git> binary executable. By default the C<$PATH>
+is searched for it.
+
+You should not use both C<Directory> and either of C<Repository> and
+C<WorkingCopy> - the results of that are undefined.
+
+Alternatively, a directory path may be passed as a single scalar argument
+to the constructor; it is equivalent to setting only the C<Directory> option
+field.
+
+Calling the constructor with no options whatsoever is equivalent to
+calling it with C<< Directory => '.' >>.

+=head1 METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item command ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
+
+Execute the given Git C<COMMAND> (specify it without the 'git-'
+prefix), optionally with the specified extra C<ARGUMENTS>.
+
+The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository
+(in that case the command will be run in the repository context).
+
+In scalar context, it returns all the command output in a single string
+(verbatim).
+
+In array context, it returns an array containing lines printed to the
+command's stdout (without trailing newlines).
+
+In both cases, the command's stdin and stderr are the same as the caller's.
+

+
+sub command {
+ my $fh = command_pipe(@_);
+
+ if (not defined wantarray) {
+ _cmd_close($fh);
+
+ } elsif (not wantarray) {
+ local $/;
+ my $text = <$fh>;
+ _cmd_close($fh);
+ return $text;
+
+ } else {
+ my @lines = <$fh>;
+ _cmd_close($fh);
+ chomp @lines;
+ return @lines;
+ }
+}
+
+
+=item command_oneline ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
+
+Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
+does but always return a scalar string containing the first line
+of the command's standard output.
+
+=cut
+
+sub command_oneline {
+ my $fh = command_pipe(@_);
+
+ my $line = <$fh>;
+ _cmd_close($fh);
+
+ chomp $line;
+ return $line;
+}
+
+
+=item command_pipe ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
+
+Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command()
+does but return a pipe filehandle from which the command output can be
+read.
+
+=cut
+
+sub command_pipe {
+ my ($self, $cmd, @args) = _maybe_self(@_);
+
+ $cmd =~ /^[a-z0-9A-Z_-]+$/ or croak "bad command: $cmd";
+
+ my $pid = open(my $fh, "-|");
+ if (not defined $pid) {
+ croak "open failed: $!";
+ } elsif ($pid == 0) {
+ _cmd_exec($self, $cmd, @args);
+ }
+ return $fh;
+}
+
+
+=item command_noisy ( COMMAND [, ARGUMENTS... ] )
+
+Execute the given C<COMMAND> in the same way as command() does but do not
+capture the command output - the standard output is not redirected and goes
+to the standard output of the caller application.
+
+While the method is called command_noisy(), you might want to as well use
+it for the most silent Git commands which you know will never pollute your
+stdout but you want to avoid the overhead of the pipe setup when calling them.
+
+The function returns only after the command has finished running.
+

+
+sub command_noisy {
+ my ($self, $cmd, @args) = _maybe_self(@_);
+
+ $cmd =~ /^[a-z0-9A-Z_-]+$/ or croak "bad command: $cmd";
+
+ my $pid = fork;
+ if (not defined $pid) {
+ croak "fork failed: $!";
+ } elsif ($pid == 0) {
+ _cmd_exec($self, $cmd, @args);
+ }
+ if (waitpid($pid, 0) > 0 and $? != 0) {
+ croak "exit status: $?";
+ }
+}
+
+
+=item hash_object ( FILENAME [, TYPE ] )
+
+=item hash_object ( FILEHANDLE [, TYPE ] )
+
+Compute the SHA1 object id of the given C<FILENAME> (or data waiting in
+C<FILEHANDLE>) considering it is of the C<TYPE> object type (C<blob>
+(default), C<commit>, C<tree>).
+
+In case of C<FILEHANDLE> passed instead of file name, all the data
+available are read and hashed, and the filehandle is automatically
+closed. The file handle should be freshly opened - if you have already
+read anything from the file handle, the results are undefined (since
+this function works directly with the file descriptor and internal
+PerlIO buffering might have messed things up).
+
+The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository,
+it makes zero difference.
+
+The function returns the SHA1 hash.
+
+Implementation of this function is very fast; no external command calls
+are involved.
