TODO
====

General
-------
* Classes requiring repo actually only need the git command - this should be 
  changed to limit their access level and make things a little safer.
* Check for correct usage of id, ref and hexsha and define their meanings, 
  currently its not so clear what id may be in cases or not - afaik its usually 
  a sha or ref unless cat-file is used where it must be a sha
* Overhaul command caching - currently its possible to create many instances of 
  the std-in command types, as it appears they are not killed when the repo gets 
  deleted.
* References should be parsed 'manually' to get around command invocation, but 
  be sure to be able to read packed refs.
* Effectively Objects only store hexsha's in their id attributes, so in fact 
  it should be renamed to 'sha'. There was a time when references where allowed as 
  well, but now objects will be 'baked' to the actual sha to assure comparisons work.
  
Config
------
* Expand .get* methods of GitConfigParser to support default value. If it is not None, 
  it will be returned instead of raising. This way the class will be much more usable, 
  and ... I truly hate this config reader as it is so 'old' style. Its not even a new-style
  class yet showing that it must be ten years old.

Diff
----
* Check docs on diff-core to be sure the raw-format presented there can be read
  properly: 
  - http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git-core/docs/gitdiffcore.html
  
Docs
----
Overhaul docs - check examples, check looks, improve existing docs

Index
-----
* write_tree should write a tree directly, which would require ability to create
  objects in the first place. Should be rather simple as it is 
  "tree" bytes datablock | sha1sum and zipped.
  Currently we use some file swapping and the git command to do it which probably 
  is much slower. The thing is that properly writing a tree from an index involves
  creating several tree objects, so in the end it might be slower. 
  Hmm, probably its okay to use the command unless we go c(++)

Repo
----
* Nice fetch/pull handling, at least supported/wired throuhg to the git command
* Blame: Read the blame format making assumptions about its structure, 
  currently regex are used a lot although we can deduct what will be next.
  - Read data from a stream directly from git command

Submodules
----------
* add submodule support

Tree
----
* Should return submodules during iteration ( identifies as commit )
* Work through test and check for test-case cleanup and completeness ( what about
  testing whether it raises on invalid input ? ). See 6dc7799d44e1e5b9b77fd19b47309df69ec01a99
  - Also assure that the test-case setup is a bit more consistent ( Derive from TestCase, possibly
    make repo a class member instead of an instance member
