NAME

       App::KGB::Client::Git - Git support for KGB client

SYNOPSIS

       my $c = App::KGB::Client::Git->new({
           ...
           git_dir => '/some/where',   # defaults to $ENV{GIT_DIR}
           old_rev     => 'a7c42f58',
           new_rev     => '8b37ed8a', });

DESCRIPTION

       App::KGB::Client::Git provides KGB client with knowledge about Git repositories. Its  method returns a
       series of App::KGB::Commit objects, each corresponding to the next commit of the received series.

CONSTRUCTION

   App::KGB::Client::Git->new( { parameters... } )
       Input data can be given in any of the following ways:

       as parameters to the constructor
               # a single commit
               my $c = App::KGB::Client::Git->new({
                   old_rev => '9ae45bc',
                   new_rev => 'a04d3ef',
                   refname => 'master',
               });

       as a list of revisions/refnames
               # several commits
               my $c = App::KGB::Client::Git->new({
                   changesets  => [
                       [ '4b3d756', '62a7c8f', 'master' ],
                       [ '7a2fedc', '0d68c3a', 'my'     ],
                       ...
                   ],
               });

           All the other ways to supply the changes data is converted internally to this one.

       in a file whose name is in the reflog parameter
           A file name of "-" means standard input, which is the normal way for Git post-receive hooks to get
           the data.

           The file must contain three words separated by spaces on each line. The first one is taken to be the
           old revision, the second is the new revision and the third is the refname.

       on the command line
           Useful when testing the KGB client from the command line. If neither old_rev, new_rev, refname nor
           changesets is given to the constructor, and if @ARGV has exactly three elements, they are taken to be
           old revision, new revision and refname respectively. Only one commit can be represented on the
           command line.

       In all of the above methods, the location of the .git directory can be given in the git_dir parameter, or
       it will be taken from the environment variable GIT_DIR.

   git-config parameters
       The following parameters can be set in the "[kgb]" section of git-config(1). If present, they override
       the settings in the configuration file and these given on the command line.

       project-id
           The project ID.

           See "project-id" in App::KGB::Client for details.

       web-link
           See "web-link" in App::KGB::Client for details.

       squash-threshold number
           Unique to Git KGB client. Sets a threshold of the notifications produced for a given branch update.
           If there are more commits in the update, instead of producing huge amounts of notifications, the
           commits are "squashed" into one notification per branch with a summary of the changes.

           The default value is 20.

       squash-message-template string
           A template for construction of squashed messages. See "message-template" in App::KGB::Client for
           details.

           The default is ${{author-name}}${ {branch}}${ {commit}}${ {module}}${ {log}}.

       tag-squash-threshold number
           Unique to Git KGB client. Sets a threshold of the notifications produced for tag creations. If there
           are more tags created in the push, instead of producing huge amounts of notifications, the tags are
           "squashed" into one notification summarizing the information.

           The default value is 5.

       tag-squash-message-template string
           A template for construction of squashed tags messages. See "message-template" in App::KGB::Client for
           details.

           The default is ${{author-name}}${ {module}}${ {log}}.

       enable-branch-ff-notification bool
           Enables notifications about branch updates whose commits have already been reported. Normally this
           causes a notification like "fast forward" to appear.  If you don't like this, set it to false.

           The default is "true".

METHODS

       describe_commit
           Returns an instance of App::KGB::Change class for each commit. Returns undef when all commits were
           processed.

       format_git_stat text
           returns a colored version of text, which is expected to be the result of "git diff --shortstat".
