+== Git Library for Ruby
+
+Library for using Git in Ruby. Test.
+
+= Homepage
+
+The Ruby/Git homepage is currently at : 
+
+http://jointheconversation.org/rubygit
+
+Git public hosting of the project source code is at:
+
+http://github/schacon/ruby-git
+
+= Install
+
+You can install Ruby/Git like this:
+
+$ sudo gem install schacon-git --source=http://gems.github.com
+
+= Major Objects
+
+Git::Base - this is the object returned from a Git.open or Git.clone.  
+Most major actions are called from this object.
+
+Git::Object - this is the base object for your tree, blob and commit objects,
+returned from @git.gtree or @git.object calls.  the Git::AbstractObject will
+have most of the calls in common for all those objects.
+
+Git::Diff - returns from a @git.diff command.  It is an Enumerable that returns
+Git::Diff:DiffFile objects from which you can get per file patches and insertion/deletion
+statistics.  You can also get total statistics from the Git::Diff object directly.
+
+Git::Status - returns from a @git.status command.  It is an Enumerable that returns
+Git:Status::StatusFile objects for each object in git, which includes files in the working
+directory, in the index and in the repository.  Similar to running 'git status' on the command
+line to determine untracked and changed files.
+
+Git::Branches - Enumerable object that holds Git::Branch objects.  You can call .local or .remote
+on it to filter to just your local or remote branches.
+
+Git::Remote - A reference to a remote repository that is tracked by this repository.
+
+Git::Log - An Enumerable object that references all the Git::Object::Commit objects that encompass
+your log query, which can be constructed through methods on the Git::Log object, like:
+
+ @git.log(20).object("some_file").since("2 weeks ago").between('v2.6', 'v2.7').each { |commit| [block] } 
+
+= Examples
+
+Here are a bunch of examples of how to use the Ruby/Git package. 
+
+First you have to remember to require rubygems if it's not.  Then include the 'git' gem.
+
+   require 'rubygems'
+   require 'git'
+
+Here are the operations that need read permission only.
+      
+   g = Git.open (working_dir, :log => Logger.new(STDOUT))
+   
+   g.index
+   g.index.readable?
+   g.index.writable?
+   g.repo
+   g.dir
+   
+   g.log   # returns array of Git::Commit objects
+   g.log.since('2 weeks ago')
+   g.log.between('v2.5', 'v2.6')
+   g.log.each {|l| puts l.sha }
+   g.gblob('v2.5:Makefile').log.since('2 weeks ago')
+   
+   g.object('HEAD^').to_s  # git show / git rev-parse
+   g.object('HEAD^').contents
+   g.object('v2.5:Makefile').size
+   g.object('v2.5:Makefile').sha
+   
+   g.gtree(treeish)
+   g.gblob(treeish)
+   g.gcommit(treeish)
+   
+   
+   commit = g.gcommit('1cc8667014381')
+    commit.gtree
+    commit.parent.sha
+    commit.parents.size
+    commit.author.name
+    commit.author.email
+    commit.author.date.strftime("%m-%d-%y")
+    commit.committer.name
+    commit.date.strftime("%m-%d-%y")
+    commit.message
+   
+  tree = g.gtree("HEAD^{tree}")
+    tree.blobs
+    tree.subtrees
+    tree.children # blobs and subtrees
+   
+   g.revparse('v2.5:Makefile')
+   
+   g.branches # returns Git::Branch objects
+   g.branches.local
+   g.branches.remote
+   g.branches[:master].gcommit
+   g.branches['origin/master'].gcommit
+   
+   g.grep('hello')  # implies HEAD
+   g.blob('v2.5:Makefile').grep('hello')
+   g.tag('v2.5').grep('hello', 'docs/')
+   
+   g.diff(commit1, commit2).size
+   g.diff(commit1, commit2).stats
+   g.gtree('v2.5').diff('v2.6').insertions
+   g.diff('gitsearch1', 'v2.5').path('lib/')
+   g.diff('gitsearch1', @git.gtree('v2.5'))
+   g.diff('gitsearch1', 'v2.5').path('docs/').patch
+   g.gtree('v2.5').diff('v2.6').patch
+   
+   g.gtree('v2.5').diff('v2.6').each do |file_diff|
+     puts file_diff.path
+     puts file_diff.patch
+     puts file_diff.blob(:src).contents
+   end
+   
+   g.config('user.name')  # returns 'Scott Chacon'
+   g.config # returns whole config hash
+   
+   g.tag # returns array of Git::Tag objects
+   
+   
+   
+And here are the operations that will need to write to your git repository.
+   
+   
+   g = Git.init
+     Git.init('project')
+     Git.init('/home/schacon/proj', 
+	 	  { :git_dir => '/opt/git/proj.git', 
+		    :index_file => '/tmp/index'} )
+

+   g.config('user.name', 'Scott Chacon')
+   g.config('user.email', 'email@email.com')

+   g.add('.')
+   g.add([file1, file2])
+   
+   g.remove('file.txt')
+   g.remove(['file.txt', 'file2.txt'])
+		     
+   g.commit('message')
+   g.commit_all('message')
+   
+   g = Git.clone(repo, 'myrepo')
+   g.chdir do
+    new_file('test-file', 'blahblahblah')
+    g.status.changed.each do |file|
+     puts file.blob(:index).contents
+    end
+   end
+   
+   g.reset # defaults to HEAD
+   g.reset_hard(Git::Commit)
+   
+   g.branch('new_branch') # creates new or fetches existing
+   g.branch('new_branch').checkout
+   g.branch('new_branch').delete
+   g.branch('existing_branch').checkout
+   
+   g.checkout('new_branch')
+   g.checkout(g.branch('new_branch'))
+   
+   g.branch(name).merge(branch2)
+   g.branch(branch2).merge  # merges HEAD with branch2
+   
+   g.branch(name).in_branch(message) { # add files }  # auto-commits
+   g.merge('new_branch')
+   g.merge('origin/remote_branch')
+   g.merge(b.branch('master'))
+   g.merge([branch1, branch2])
+   
+   r = g.add_remote(name, uri)  # Git::Remote
+   r = g.add_remote(name, Git::Base)  # Git::Remote
+   
+   g.remotes  # array of Git::Remotes
+   g.remote(name).fetch
+   g.remote(name).remove
+   g.remote(name).merge
+   g.remote(name).merge(branch)
+   
+   g.fetch
+   g.fetch(g.remotes.first)
+   
+   g.pull
+   g.pull(Git::Repo, Git::Branch) # fetch and a merge
+   
+   g.add_tag('tag_name') # returns Git::Tag
+   
+   g.repack
+
+   g.push
+   g.push(g.remote('name'))
+
+
+Some examples of more low-level index and tree operations
+
+   g.with_temp_index do 
+
+     g.read_tree(tree3) # calls self.index.read_tree
+     g.read_tree(tree1, :prefix => 'hi/')
+
+     c = g.commit_tree('message')
+     # or #
+     t = g.write_tree
+     c = g.commit_tree(t, :message => 'message', :parents => [sha1, sha2])
+
+     g.branch('branch_name').update_ref(c)
+     g.update_ref(branch, c)
+
+     g.with_temp_working do # new blank working directory
+       g.checkout
+       g.checkout(another_index)
+       g.commit # commits to temp_index
+     end    
+   end
+
+   g.set_index('/path/to/index')
+   
+   
+   g.with_index(path) do 
+     # calls set_index, then switches back after
+   end
+   
+   g.with_working(dir) do
+   # calls set_working, then switches back after
+   end
+   
+   g.with_temp_working(dir) do
+     g.checkout_index(:prefix => dir, :path_limiter => path)
+     # do file work
+     g.commit # commits to index
