* streaming: void pointer instead of char pointerRené Scharfe2012-05-03
| | | | | | | | | | Allow any kind of buffer to be fed to read_istream() without an explicit cast by making it's buf argument a void pointer. It's about arbitrary data, not only characters.

* streaming: make streaming-write-entry to be more reusableJunio C Hamano2012-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | The static function in entry.c takes a cache entry and streams its blob contents to a file in the working tree. Refactor the logic to a new API function stream_blob_to_fd() that takes an object name and an open file descriptor, so that it can be reused by other callers.

* Add streaming filter APIJunio C Hamano2011-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream. The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream via open_istream(). After that, the caller can read from the stream with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an unfiltered stream. This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the streaming API do not have to change.

* streaming: a new API to read from the object storeJunio C Hamano2011-05-20
Given an object name, use open_istream() to get a git_istream handle that you can read_istream() from as if you are using read(2) to read the contents of the object, and close it with close_istream() when you are done. Currently, we do not do anything fancy--it just calls read_sha1_file() and keeps the contents in memory as a whole, and carve it out as you request with read_istream().
