IMPROVEMENTS

  • Updated the bundled libgit2 source code to version '0.28.2'.

  • Added the 'force' argument to the 'tag' function to overwrite an
    existing tag.

  • Allow a zero length tag message.

  • Make it possible to create a lighweight tag.

  • Added the 'ref' argument to the 'commits' function to give a
    reference to list commits from.

  • Added the utility function 'lookup_commit' to lookup a commit
    related to a git object.

  • The 'path' argument was added to the 'commits' function to make it
    possible to specify that only commits modifying this file ('path')
    will be returned to reproduce 'git log' with '--no-follow', see the
    documentation. (Peter Carbonetto and John Blischak in PR #372)

BUG FIXES

  • Removed the timezone offset from the commit time to fix an incorrect
    time in GMT when reading information from a repository (Thierry
    Onkelinx in PR #393).
