Update nodegit to version 0.13.0 🚀

[greenkeeperio-bot]

Hello 👋

🚀🚀🚀

nodegit just published its new version 0.13.0, which is not covered by your current version range.

If this pull request passes your tests you can publish your software with the latest version of nodegit – otherwise use this branch to work on adaptions and fixes.

Happy fixing and merging 🌴

GitHub Release

Summary

This is a big update! Lots of work was done to bring NodeGit up to the latest stable libgit2 version (v0.24.1), to use babel in the library, to make it more stable, remove memory leaks, squash bugs and in general just improve the library for all. Make sure to see all of the API changes below (there are a lot).

Node support

We have added Node 6 as a supported platform! Going forward we aim to have 1:1 support for versions of Node that are either current or LTS. That means that v0.12 will not be supported soon so if you're on that please upgrade to at least Node v4. Also Node v5 will NOT be LTS so when Node stops supporting that in the coming months we will as well. You can read more about the current Node upgrade plan here.

Changes or improvements

• Custom merge drivers can now be registered, which allows callers to
  configure callbacks to honor merge=driver configuration in
  .gitattributes.

• Custom filters can now be registered with wildcard attributes, for
  example filter=*. Consumers should examine the attributes parameter
  of the check function for details.

• Symlinks are now followed when locking a file, which can be
  necessary when multiple worktrees share a base repository.

• You can now set your own user-agent to be sent for HTTP requests by
  using the Libgit2.OPT.SET_USER_AGENT with Libgit2.opts().

• You can set custom HTTP header fields to be sent along with requests
  by passing them in the fetch and push options.

• Tree objects are now assumed to be sorted. If a tree is not
  correctly formed, it will give bad results. This is the git approach
  and cuts a significant amount of time when reading the trees.

• Filter registration is now protected against concurrent
  registration.

• Filenames which are not valid on Windows in an index no longer cause
  to fail to parse it on that OS.

• Rebases can now be performed purely in-memory, without touching the
  repository's workdir.

• When adding objects to the index, or when creating new tree or commit
  objects, the inputs are validated to ensure that the dependent objects
  exist and are of the correct type. This object validation can be
  disabled with the Libgit2.OPT.ENABLE_STRICT_OBJECT_CREATION option.

• The WinHTTP transport's handling of bad credentials now behaves like
  the others, asking for credentials again.

API additions

• Blob.createFromStream() and
  Blob.createFromStreamCommit allow you to create a blob by
  writing into a stream. Useful when you do not know the final size or
  want to copy the contents from another stream.

• Config#lock has been added, which allow for
  transactional/atomic complex updates to the configuration, removing
  the opportunity for concurrent operations and not committing any
  changes until the unlock.

• DiffOptions added a new callback progress_cb to report on the
  progress of the diff as files are being compared. The documentation of
  the existing callback notify_cb was updated to reflect that it only
  gets called when new deltas are added to the diff.

• FetchOptions and PushOptions have gained a custom_headers
  field to set the extra HTTP header fields to send.

• Commit#headerField allows you to look up a specific header
  field in a commit.

Breaking API changes

• MergeOptions now provides a defaultDriver that can be used
  to provide the name of a merge driver to be used to handle files changed
  during a merge.

• The Merge.TREE_FLAG is now Merge.FLAG. Subsequently,
  treeFlags field of the MergeOptions structure is now named flags.

• The Merge.FILE_FLAGS enum is now Merge.FILE_FLAG for
  consistency with other enum type names.

• Cert descendent types now have a proper parent member

• It is the responsibility of the refdb backend to decide what to do
  with the reflog on ref deletion. The file-based backend must delete
  it, a database-backed one may wish to archive it.

• Index#add and Index#conflictAdd will now use the case
  as provided by the caller on case insensitive systems. Previous
  versions would keep the case as it existed in the index. This does
  not affect the higher-level Index#addByPath or
  Index#addFromBuffer functions.

• The Config.LEVEL enum has gained a higher-priority value
  PROGRAMDATA which represent a rough Windows equivalent
  to the system level configuration.

• RebaseOptions now has a mergeOptions field.

• The index no longer performs locking itself. This is not something
  users of the library should have been relying on as it's not part of
  the concurrency guarantees.

• Remote#connect() now takes a customHeaders argument to set
  the extra HTTP header fields to send.

• Tree.entryFilemode, Tree.entryFilemodeRaw, Tree.entryId, Tree.entryName,
  Tree.entryToObject, and Tree.entryType have all been moved to the TreeEntry prototype.
  Additionally, the TreeEntry fields have been removed in lieu of the corresponding functions to return
  the data.
