We use mostly undocumented ways, because there is simply no API. It was decided early on that libgit was never intended to be a public API. So that's that. TBH a much better way to handle this would have been to say: this is fragile, as the pretty-printing is not properly abstracted, and hence we may need to break the contract at some stage (which would not cause compile errors, though), maybe you, Dscho, can fix that after this patch series was applied by abstracting it properly? Ciao, Dscho
