io, #519: ALL open() --> with open()

2016-10-01T16:25:57+00:00

+ Some cases had restructuring of code.

fix(Head): checkout() handles detached head

2016-09-11T16:30:21+00:00

It's not optimal, as we can now return one of two types
which are only compatible in the most basic ways.

However, it is better than before, I presume.

Fixes #510

fix(tag): resolve `commit` objects deeply.

2016-09-11T09:23:22+00:00

As TagObjects can point to other TagObjects, we need
to keep going in order to resolve the final commit.

Fixes #503

Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master'

2016-07-29T10:33:17+00:00

Use binary string constant for concatenation.

2016-07-19T07:17:51+00:00

Add missing newline when writing a symbolic ref.

2016-07-19T06:38:02+00:00

Fix corruption of the ref logs file

2016-06-13T14:26:18+00:00

It must only have the first line of the
commit messages, not the while multiple line log.

fix(refs): don't raise StopIteration

2016-03-28T08:25:05+00:00

Fixes #394

Ensure file resources are released

2015-07-26T13:42:00+00:00

Always add '--' to git reset

2015-07-17T20:58:28+00:00

If a git repo has the misfortune to have a file with the name "HEAD"
at the root level of the repo, git will return an error because it
is unsure whether the file or ref is meant:

    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/refs/head.py", line 81, in reset
      self.repo.git.reset(mode, commit, add_arg, paths, **kwargs)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/cmd.py", line 440, in 
      return lambda *args, **kwargs: self._call_process(name, *args, **kwargs)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/cmd.py", line 834, in _call_process
      return self.execute(make_call(), **_kwargs)
    File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/cmd.py", line 627, in execute
      raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value)
  GitCommandError: 'git reset --hard HEAD' returned with exit code 128
  stderr: 'fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': both revision and filename
  Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions'

Implement its suggested fix by always passing '--' as an argument to
"git reset".  It is fine to pass it with no file specifiers afterwords.
In that case, git knows that "HEAD" is always meant as the ref.
