Hey. Apologies in advance -- I broke your bindings.

This is a major commit that includes a long-overdue redesign of the
whole object-database structure. This is expected to be the last major
external API redesign of the library until the first non-alpha release.

Please get your bindings up to date with these changes. They will be
included in the next minor release. Sorry again!

Major features include:

	- Real caching and refcounting on parsed objects
	- Real caching and refcounting on objects read from the ODB
	- Streaming writes &amp; reads from the ODB
	- Single-method writes for all object types
	- The external API is now partially thread-safe

The speed increases are significant in all aspects, specially when
reading an object several times from the ODB (revwalking) and when
writing big objects to the ODB.

Here's a full changelog for the external API:

blob.h
------

	- Remove `git_blob_new`
	- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent`
	- Remove `git_blob_set_rawcontent_fromfile`
	- Rename `git_blob_writefile` -&gt; `git_blob_create_fromfile`
	- Change `git_blob_create_fromfile`:
		The `path` argument is now relative to the repository's working dir
	- Add `git_blob_create_frombuffer`

commit.h
--------

	- Remove `git_commit_new`
	- Remove `git_commit_add_parent`
	- Remove `git_commit_set_message`
	- Remove `git_commit_set_committer`
	- Remove `git_commit_set_author`
	- Remove `git_commit_set_tree`

	- Add `git_commit_create`
	- Add `git_commit_create_v`
	- Add `git_commit_create_o`
	- Add `git_commit_create_ov`

	- Add `git_tag_create`
	- Add `git_tag_create_o`

tree.h
------

	- Remove `git_odb_write`
	- Add `git_odb_open_wstream`
	- Add `git_odb_open_rstream`

odb_backend.h
-------------

	- Change type `git_odb_backend`:
		New internal signatures are as follows

			int (* read)(void **, size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
			int (* read_header)(size_t *, git_otype *, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)
			int (* writestream)(struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, size_t, git_otype)
			int (* readstream)( struct git_odb_stream **, struct git_odb_backend *, const git_oid *)

	- Add type `git_odb_stream`
	- Add enum `git_odb_streammode`

<title>Fix the retarded object interdependency system</title>

It's no longer retarded. All object interdependencies are stored as OIDs
instead of actual objects. This should be hundreds of times faster,
specially on big repositories. Heck, who knows, maye it doesn't even
segfault -- wouldn't that be awesome?

What has changed on the API?

	`git_commit_parent`, `git_commit_tree`, `git_tag_target` now return
	their values through a pointer-to-pointer, and have an error code.

	`git_commit_set_tree` and `git_tag_set_target` now return an error
	code and may fail.

	`git_repository_free__no_gc` has been deprecated because it's
	stupid. Since there are no longer any interdependencies between
	objects, we don't need internal reference counting, and GC
	never fails or double-free's pointers.

	`git_object_close` now does a very sane thing: marks an object
	as unused. Closed objects will be eventually free'd from the
	object cache based on LRU. Please use `git_object_close` from
	the garbage collector `destroy` method on your bindings. It's
	100% safe.

	`git_repository_gc` is a new method that forces a garbage collector
	pass through the repo, to free as many LRU objects as possible.
	This is useful if we are running out of memory.

String mememory is now managed in a much more sane manner.

Fixes include:

	- git_person email and name is no longer limited to 64 characters
	- git_tree_entry filename is no longer limited to 255 characters
	- raw objects are properly opened &amp; closed the minimum amount of
	times required for parsing
	- unit tests no longer leak
	- removed 5 other misc memory leaks as reported by Valgrind
	- tree writeback no longer segfaults on rare ocassions

The git_person struct is no longer public. It is now managed by the
library, and getter methods are in place to access its internal
attributes.

The 'git_obj' structure is now called 'git_rawobj', since
it represents a raw object read from the ODB.

The 'git_repository_object' structure is now called 'git_object',
since it's the base object class for all objects.
