2.0.0-milestone.1

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

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

• #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)

Fixes
