GitPython/git/repo, branch 0.3.5

Removed all previously added invocations of os.path.realpath as it wasn't required afterall.

2015-01-12T10:16:52+00:00

Turns out that the now removed `read_gitfile` functions applied os.path.realpath which caused
the issue described in #224.

Fixes #224

Repo paths are now converted to real paths, as well as all paths involved in index related work.

2015-01-12T10:14:06+00:00

That way, we don't try to compare a real-path to a non-real one, which would make the implementation think
a file is not actually part of the repository.

Fixes #224

Added specific test for roughly checking configuration paths.

2015-01-12T09:25:15+00:00

For some reason, I didn't trust the existing one as it tests that code
more indirectly.

Related to #160

Re-implemented 'user' config level based on suggestion by @jzempel

2015-01-12T09:20:23+00:00

The point is that XDG_CONFIG_HOME is meant to point at the '.config' directory,
whereas '.config' has to be added only if HOME is used instead.

Fixes #160

Added 'user' configuration level.

Fixes #160

Repo.init() now supports paths with a '~' in it, or environment variables in general.

2015-01-10T18:20:22+00:00

Fixes #83

Added search_parent_directories keyword argument to Repo type.

2015-01-10T17:22:48+00:00

Now by default, we will not walk up the directory structure and possibly find
git directories that the user didn't intend to find.
If required, that kind of behaviour can be turned back on.

Fixes #65

Added test to assure blame can deal with binary patches.

2015-01-09T11:49:03+00:00

Fixes #74

Improved handling of name-resolution, which will not mangle names anymore.

2015-01-08T16:08:02+00:00

Previously, an unresolvable ref name like HEAD would end up as HEX and
was presented as BadObject error, even though that exception is for
invalid shas only.
Now BadName is thrown, which converts into a more useful error message.

Improves #105

Fixed PY3 support.

2015-01-08T11:22:29+00:00

Apparently, thanks to an incorrect version check, PY3 ended up using
a git command object database by default. This is now fixed.
Additionally, the update_cache code was adjusted to check for method-existence,
as it's valid to use object databases which simply don't have a
caching mechanism (like the git command object database)
