gix v0.46.0

on GitHub

New Features (BREAKING)

• revision::Walk yields revision::Info structs instead of Ids.
  This enables re-use of information that was already obtained, like the parents of
  a commit and possibly its commit-time.

Changed (BREAKING)

• rename Repository::commit_graph() to ::revision_graph().
  THat's a better fix given its locaion in gix-revision, while differentiating
  it further from the lower-level commit-graph.

  Also rename Repository::commit_cache() to ::commit_graph() now that the name is free.

Other

• gix::revision::walk::Platform now informas about the commitgraph.
  In short, one should use the Graph to obtain the tools necessary for potentially
  accelerated, custom commit walks.

New Features

• make it possible to use config::tree::Key to more conveniently set values via config::SnapshotMut::set()

• use the commitgraph if possible and allow its usage to be controlled via revision::walk::Platform::use_commit_graph(toggle).
  The commitgraph is a data structure to greatly accelerate commit walks. It is now supported and
  used by default, but can be deactivated if desired.

  Further, add Repository::commit_cache() for direct access to just the commit-graph datastructure,
  without the extras provided by gix_revision::Graph.

• add Repository::index_or_load_from_head().
  That way it's possible to either open the existing worktree index, or create one
  in-memory by turning our HEAD tree into an index on the fly.

• make it possible to use config::tree::Key to more conveniently set values via config::SnapshotMut::set()
