Minor fixes, cleanups, and clarifications There are three actual changes in this commit: 1. When the trailing newline of a file is removed in a diff, the change will now be reported with `GIT_DIFF_LINE_DEL_EOFNL` passed to the callback. Previously, the `ADD_EOFNL` constant was given which was just an error in my understanding of when the various circumstances arose. `GIT_DIFF_LINE_ADD_EOFNL` is deprecated and should never be generated. A new newline is simply an `ADD`. 2. Rewrote the `diff_delta__merge_like_cgit` function that contains the core logic of the `git_diff_merge` implementation. The new version doesn't actually have significantly different behavior, but the logic should be much more obvious, I think. 3. Fixed a bug in `git_diff_merge` where it freed a string pool while some of the string data was still in use. This led to `git_diff_print_patch` accessing memory that had been freed. The rest of this commit contains improved documentation in `diff.h` to make the behavior and the equivalencies with core git clearer, and a bunch of new tests to cover the various cases, oh and a minor simplification of `examples/diff.c`.

libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.
libgit2 is licensed under a very permissive license (GPLv2 with a special Linking Exception). This basically means that you can link it (unmodified) with any kind of software without having to release its source code.
libgit2 is already very usable.
libgit2 builds cleanly on most platforms without any external dependencies.
Under Unix-like systems, like Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X, libgit2 expects pthreads
to be available;
they should be installed by default on all systems. Under Windows, libgit2 uses the native Windows API
for threading.
The libgit2 library is built using CMake 2.6+ (http://www.cmake.org) on all platforms.
On most systems you can build the library using the following commands
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
Alternatively you can point the CMake GUI tool to the CMakeLists.txt file and generate platform specific build project or IDE workspace.
To install the library you can specify the install prefix by setting:
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/install/prefix
$ cmake --build . --target install
If you want to build a universal binary for Mac OS X, CMake sets it
all up for you if you use -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES="i386;x86_64"
when configuring.
For more advanced use or questions about CMake please read http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ.
The following CMake variables are declared:
INSTALL_BIN
: Where to install binaries to. INSTALL_LIB
: Where to install libraries to. INSTALL_INC
: Where to install headers to. BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
: Build libgit2 as a Shared Library (defaults to ON) BUILD_CLAR
: Build Clar-based test suite (defaults to ON) THREADSAFE
: Build libgit2 with threading support (defaults to OFF) Here are the bindings to libgit2 that are currently available:
If you start another language binding to libgit2, please let us know so we can add it to the list.
Fork libgit2/libgit2 on GitHub, add your improvement, push it to a branch in your fork named for the topic, send a pull request. If you change the API or make other large changes, make a note of it in docs/rel-notes/ in a file named after the next release.
You can also file bugs or feature requests under the libgit2 project on GitHub, or join us on the mailing list by sending an email to:

libgit2 is under GPL2 with linking exemption. This means you can link to the library with any program, commercial, open source or other. However, you cannot modify libgit2 and distribute it without supplying the source.
