NAME

Git::Raw::Odb - Git object database class

VERSION

version 0.71

DESCRIPTION

A Git::Raw::Odb represents a git object database.

WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

METHODS

new( )

Create a new object database.

open( $directory )

Create a new object database and automatically add the two default backends. $directory should be the path to the 'objects' directory.

backend_count( )

Get the number of ODB backend objects.

refresh( )

Refresh the object database to load newly added files. If the object databases have changed on disk while the library is running, this function will force a reload of the underlying indexes. Use this method when you're confident that an external application has tampered with the ODB.

add_backend( $backend, $priority )

Add a custom backend to the ODB. The backends are checked in relative ordering, based on the value of $priority.

add_alternate( $backend, $priority )

Add an alternate custom backend to the ODB. Alternate backends are always checked for objects after all the main backends have been exhausted. Writing is disabled on alternate backends.
