I think that repository() constructor (to be converted in the 'new' constructor I guess) should take 'binbin => "/usr/bin"' argument optionally, to find where git binary is. 'libexecdir' can be also supported, or one can get it from 'git --exec-path' and save. > Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that > is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in > various inconsistent ways. It would be nice to have also wrapers to reading files from git repository, ate least some generic read_file/readdir. For example it might be faster to list branches and/or tags by directly reading $GIT_DIR/refs directory than using 'git branch' or 'git tag -l'. -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
