Changelog

0.23.0 (2015-08-14)

  • Update to libgit2 v0.23 #540
  • Now Repository.merge_base(...) returns None if no merge base is found #550
  • Documentation updates #547

API changes:

  • How to set identity (aka signature) in a reflog has changed:

    # Before
signature = Signature('foo', 'bar')
...
reference.set_target(target, signature=signature, message=message)
repo.set_head(target, signature=signature)
remote.fetch(signature=signature)
remote.push(signature=signature)

# Now
repo.set_ident('foo', 'bar')
...
reference.set_target(target, message=message)
repo.set_head(target)
remote.push()

# The current identity can be get with
repo.ident

  • Some remote setters have been replaced by methods:

    # Before                       # Now
Remote.url = url               Repository.remotes.set_url(name, url)
Remote.push_url = url          Repository.remotes.set_push_url(name, url)

Remote.add_fetch(refspec)      Repository.remotes.add_fetch(name, refspec)
Remote.add_push(refspec)       Repository.remotes.add_push(name, refspec)

Remote.fetch_refspecs = [...]  removed, use the config API instead
