| Readme: | Short: Native git client for MorphOS (clone/commit/pull/push)
Author: Anders Kjeldsen <kjeldsenanders@gmail.com>

Type: dev/misc
Version: 0.12.2
Requires: MorphOS 3.x
Architecture: ppc-morphos
am-git is a native git client for MorphOS, written in AmLang.
It speaks the git smart protocol directly over TCP/TLS.
Commands: init, clone, fetch, pull, push, commit, add, unstage,
rm, mv, status, log, diff, show, branch, tag, checkout, merge,
rebase, cherry-pick, revert, reset, merge-base, config and more.
Clone/fetch/push/pull work over https:// and http:// remotes
(validated byte-for-byte against reference git output on GitHub
and a local git http-backend). TLS is linked in statically -
no extra libraries to install.
ssh remotes are NOT supported in this MorphOS build yet - use
an https:// remote instead (GitHub: use a personal access
token as the password).
Per-host credentials can be kept in ENV:AM_GIT_NETRC (netrc
format), with AM_GIT_USERNAME/AM_GIT_PASSWORD as a simple
single-login fallback.
Set stack to at least 100000 before running.
This is the first MorphOS release of am-git. It matches the
m68k AmigaOS release (am-git.lha) feature-for-feature, except
for the ssh transport noted above.
Changes in 0.12.2 (large-repo clones and stability):
- checkout is now safe like real git: it refuses to
overwrite local changes (commit or reset first) and
preserves untracked files - previously a branch switch
silently clobbered modified files and DELETED untracked
ones. reset --hard also keeps untracked files now.
- Cloning big repositories works now. Pack indexing is
streamed the way real git's index-pack does it - one
object at a time instead of unpacking the entire
history into RAM - which fixes crashes/corruption when
cloning multi-megabyte packs (e.g. from GitHub).
Progress is printed while indexing so long clones no
longer look hung.
- Fixed a batch of crashes on empty/fresh repositories:
the first commit in a new repo, diff/reset/merge with
an unborn or detached HEAD, and pull without an
explicit branch or remote URL.
Changes in 0.12.1 (performance and fixes):
- Packed repositories are much faster. am-git now writes
a small index (.amidx) next to each packfile, so
commands read only the objects they need instead of
parsing the whole pack on every run.
- status/diff no longer re-hash unchanged files: they use
the index's stored size and timestamp (the same trick
real git uses), so status is quick even on large trees.
- Reading large files is dramatically faster (bulk reads
instead of one byte at a time).
- Fixed: files that are tracked but sit under a
.gitignore'd directory were wrongly reported as
deleted; they are now handled like real git.
- commit reads user.name / user.email from .git/config
and ~/.gitconfig, not just environment variables, so it
works on an already-configured repo.
- New command: unstage <path> - the inverse of add
(like git restore --staged / git reset HEAD <path>).
- show <commit>:<path> now prints a file's contents at
that commit, and log accepts a start ref
(log <branch|tag|commit>).
See am-git_mos.txt in the archive for full usage, the
complete command set and credential setup.
