About

This is an IPLD codec which handles git objects. Objects are transformed into IPLD graph in the following way:

• Commit:

{
  "author": {
    "date": "1503667703 +0200",
    "email": "author@mail",
    "name": "Author Name"
  },
  "committer": {
    "date": "1503667703 +0200",
    "email": "author@mail",
    "name": "Author Name"
  },
  "message": "Commit Message\n",
  "parents": [
    <LINK>, <LINK>, ...
  ],
  "tree": <LINK>
}

• Tag:

{
  "message": "message\n",
  "object": {
    "/": "baf4bcfg3mbz3yj3njqyr3ifdaqyfv3prei6h6bq"
  },
  "tag": "tagname",
  "tagger": {
    "date": "1503667703 +0200",
    "email": "author@mail",
    "name": "Author Name"
  },
  "type": "commit"
}

• Tree:

{
  "file.name": {
    "mode": "100664",
    "hash": <LINK>
  },
  "directoryname": {
    "mode": "40000",
    "hash": <LINK>
  },
  ...
}

• Blob:

"<base64 of 'blob <size>\0<data>'>"
