Description: pygit2 - libgit2 bindings in Python
        =====================================
        
        pygit2 is a set of Python bindings to the libgit2 linkable C Git library.
        The supported versions of Python are 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 and 3.2
        
        Through this text Python 3 is used for the inline examples. Also, the Python
        3 terminology is used (for instance we say text strings instead of unicode
        strings).
        
        INSTALLING AND RUNNING
        ========================
        
        First you need to install the latest version of libgit2.
        You can find platform-specific instructions to build the library in the libgit2 website:
        
          http://libgit2.github.com
        
        Also, make sure you have Python 2.6+ installed together with the Python development headers.
        
        When those are installed, you can install pygit2::
        
            $ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/pygit2.git
            $ cd pygit2
            $ python setup.py install
            $ python setup.py test
        
        
        The repository
        =================
        
        Everything starts by opening an existing repository::
        
            >>> from pygit2 import Repository
            >>> repo = Repository('pygit2/.git')
        
        Or by creating a new one::
        
            >>> from pygit2 import init_repository
            >>> bare = False
            >>> repo = init_repository('test', bare)
        
        These are the basic attributes of a repository::
        
            Repository.path    -- path to the Git repository
            Repository.workdir -- path to the working directory, None in the case of
                                  a bare repo
        
        
        Git objects
        ===========
        
        In the first place Git is a key-value storage system. The values stored are
        called *objects*, there are four types (commits, trees, blobs and tags),
        for each type pygit2 has a Python class::
        
            # Get the last commit
            >>> head = repo.lookup_reference('HEAD')
            >>> head = head.resolve()
            >>> commit = repo[head.oid]
        
            # Show commits and trees
            >>> commit
            <pygit2.Commit object at 0x7f9d2f3000b0>
            >>> commit.tree
            <pygit2.Tree object at 0x7f9d2f3000f0>
        
        These four classes (``Commit``, ``Tree``, ``Blob`` and ``Tag``) inherit from
        the ``Object`` base class, which provides shared behaviour. A Git object is
        identified by a unique *object id*, which is a binary byte string; this is
        often represented as an hexadecimal text string::
        
            >>> commit.oid
            b'x\xde\xb5W\x8d\x01<\xdb\xdf\x08o\xa1\xd1\xa3\xe7\xd9\x82\xe8\x88\x8f'
            >>> commit.hex
            '78deb5578d013cdbdf086fa1d1a3e7d982e8888f'
        
        The API of pygit2 accepts both the raw object id and its hexadecimal
        representation, the difference is done based on its type (a byte or a text
        string).
        
        This is the common interface for all Git objects::
        
            Object.type       -- one of the GIT_OBJ_COMMIT, GIT_OBJ_TREE,
                                 GIT_OBJ_BLOB or GIT_OBJ_TAG constants
            Object.oid        -- the object id, a byte string 20 bytes long
            Object.hex        -- hexadecimal representation of the object id, a text
                                 string 40 chars long
            Object.read_raw() -- returns the byte string with the raw contents of the
                                 of the object
        
        Objects can not be modified once they have been created.
        
        
        Commits
        -----------------
        
        ::
        
            Commit.author    -- the author of the commit
            Commit.committer -- the committer of the commit
            Commit.message   -- the message, a text string
            Commit.tree      -- the tree object attached to the commit
            Commit.parents   -- the list of parent commits
        
        Signatures
        .............
        
        The author and committer attributes of commit objects are ``Signature``
        objects::
        
            >>> commit.author
            <pygit2.Signature object at 0x7f75e9b1f5f8>
        
        This is their interface::
        
            Signature.name   -- person's name
            Signature.email  -- person's email address
            Signature.time   -- unix time
            Signature.offset -- offset from utc in minutes
        
        
        Trees
        -----------------
        
        A tree is a sorted collection of tree entries. It is similar to a folder or
        directory in a file system. Each entry points to another tree or a blob.  A
        tree can be iterated, and partially implements the sequence and mapping
        interfaces::
        
            # Number of entries
            >>> tree = commit.tree
            >>> len(tree)
            6
        
            # Iteration
            >>> for entry in tree:
            ...     print(entry.hex, entry.name)
            ...
            7151ca7cd3e59f3eab19c485cfbf3cb30928d7fa .gitignore

            >>> entry = tree['pygit2.c']
            >>> entry
            <pygit2.TreeEntry object at 0xcc10f0>
        
            # Get the object the entry points to
            >>> blob = repo[entry.oid]
            >>> blob
            <pygit2.Blob object at 0xcc12d0>
        
        This is the interface of a tree entry::
        
            TreeEntry.name        -- name of the tree entry
            TreeEntry.oid         -- the id of the git object
            TreeEntry.hex         -- hexadecimal representation of the oid
            TreeEntry.attributes  -- the Unix file attributes
            TreeEntry.to_object() -- returns the git object (equivalent to repo[entry.oid])
        
        Blobs
        -----------------
        
        A blob is equivalent to a file in a file system::
        
            Blob.data -- the contents of the blob, a byte string
