2.0.0

This is a breaking release to clean up some outstanding deprecated items, require Java 8 (to be able to use the latest JGit), incorporate the org.ajoberstar.grgit Gradle plugin, and a few miscellaneous features.

All documentation has also been revised and migrated to a site that should be a little more friendly.

Breaking Changes

• #180 Require Java 8
• #67 Removed deprecated methods:
  • Grgit.open(String)
  • Grgit.open(String, Credentials)
  • Grgit.open(File)
  • Grgit.open(File, Credentials)
  • branch field on grgit.branch.status(...)

Enhancements

• #187 The org.ajoberstar.grgit plugin was added to this project (migrated from gradle-git)
  • After all tasks have finished the grgit instance will be closed
  • Plugin will warn you if you apply the plugin in a way that causes one project to overwrite another's grgit property.
• #85 Methods on Grgit are now generated by an AST transformation, so they should be visible in IDE completion.
• #174 grgit.describe(...) now supports a longDescr option to force it to always output the more verbose format (thanks to Frank Vennemeyer)
• #172 grgit.describe(...) now supports a commit option to choose an alternate target to describe than HEAD (thanks to Frank Vennemeyer)
• Introduced grgit.branch.current() to replace the now deprecated grgit.branch.getCurrent(). These have identical functionality.

Fixes

• #171 Safer selection of Jsch agent for authentication

Deprecations

• grgit.branch.current / grgit.branch.getCurrent() has been deprecated in favor of grgit.branch.current()
