gix v0.55.0

on GitHub

This release contains a complete rewrite of the internal url parsing logic, the public interface stays mostly the same however. Gitoxide will now be
more correct, interpreting more urls the same way Git does. Improvements include the added support for ssh aliases (github:byron/gitoxide has previously
been parsed as local path), adjustments around the interpretation of colons in file names (previously we disallowed colons that were not followed up
with a slash character) and some smaller changes that bring the interpretation of file urls more in line with Git's implementation. Additionally, the
error types have been adjusted to print a more comprehensive message by default, making sure they stay helpful even when bubbled up through multiple abstraction
layers.

There are still many (edge) cases in Git's url parsing implementation which are not handled correctly by Gitoxide. If you notice any such deviation please
open a new issue to help us making Gitoxide even more correct.

Other

• inform about the absence of strict hash verification and strict object creation.
  Those are present in git2 and enabled by default, and gitoxde definitely
  wants to do the same at some point.

New Features

• add Repository::head_tree() to more easily obtain the current tree.

• Add Repository::has_object() as a high-level alternative.
  Previously, one would have to call repo.objects.contains(), which
  is fine, but this method is necessary for symmetry of the API
  and one shouldn't have to drop down a level to do this.

  This method also knows empty trees as special case.

• add Object::try_into_blob() and into_blob() and Repository::empty_blob()
  This way it's easier to assert that an object is actually a blob.

• add Repository::index_or_empty().
  This is useful if a missing index should mean it's empty.
