Rewrite Notes #27

A rewrite is necessary, but a significant portion of current code can be reused.

Issues with current code:

• Not well documented
• Inconsistencies with my current style
• Very incomplete and not goal focused
• Inconsistent sync/async support
• Inconsistent API

Goals:
The first goal of the rewrite is to focus on specific parts of libgit2 that are useful instead of porting all methods over. Clear goals for each low level Git feature and then completing those goals by porting methods and coming up with a strategy for DRY implementation.

Synchronous/Asynchronous methods:
I'd like to only ever write synchronous methods and then have a macro that makes it async automatically. I'm not sure if this is feasible, but its worth investigating.

Repositories:
✓ Open an existing repo

• Create a new repo
• Checks if a repo is empty
• Checks if a repo is bare
• Reading in configuration data
