New Features

• diff algorithm is controlled by git configuration diff.algorithm

• Query of core.logAllRefUpdates is now fallible.
  This is the same behaviour as shown by git, which requires valid
  values or aborts.

• automatically handle .keep files after writing a pack bundle to disk.
  The logic implemented here tries to do the right thing, that is when
  we have reason to believe that the objects in the pack are linked up
  with a ref, we delete the keep file automatically.

  However, if there was no local ref edit as the ref specs didn't contain
  local destinations, or if the pack was empty, then keep the .keep file
  and leave it to the caller to handle.

• Use core.askpass when building the credential helper.
  Previously it would only consider the environment variable, which can
  still override the provided git-configuration at core.askpass .

• remote::fetch::Prepare::handshake_outcome() to obtain server information right after listing refs.

• open::Options::config_overrides() for early configuration; support for init.defaultBranch.

Bug Fixes

• don't allow non-bare repositories to be initialized into non-empty directories.

• init_bare() now creates the destination directory if it doesn't exist.

• build correct path for $HOME/.config/… files.
  The special per-user ignore and attributes files can also be
  defaulted if some environment variables are set and may be accessed.

  Previously the default for $HOME was incorrect, as it was missing the
  intermediate .config/ directory. This is now present to build paths
  exactly like git.

• ref-map filtering now uses correct prefixes.
  Previously specs could get filtered out server-side as a matching prefix
  was entirely missing.

Changed (BREAKING)

• Repository::branch_remote_name() returns reference::remote::Name.
  That way it's made clear the remote can also be a URL, while rejecting
  illformed UTF8. The latter isn't valid for remote names anyway as these
  only support a very limited character set.

  Note that this error currently is degenerated, making it appear if the
  remote name doesn't exists if illformed UTF-8 is found in what appears
  to be a symbolic ref.

• be specific about the kind of diff::Error, moving it to diff::for_each::Error.

New Features (BREAKING)

• Tree::lookup_entry*() returns attached Entry type.
  That way chaining gets even easier.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• create::into(…) takes create::Kind to determine if it's bare or not.
  First of all, bare is not an option anymore, but a parameter as
  it can't be defaulted.
  Other public signatures change as well to accomodate for it.

Other (BREAKING)

• DiffPlatform::text() to *::lines().
  This is more specific as one could also do character changes in a single
  line, and it adapts the signature to the new imra-diff powered
  mechanism, for a 2x speed boost.
