In its core lies the db package, which contains +all database types necessary to read a complete git repository. These are +the LooseObjectDB, the PackedDB and the ReferenceDB which are combined +into the GitDB to combine every aspect of the git database. + +For this to work, GitDB implements pack reading, as well as loose object +reading and writing. Data is always encapsulated in streams, which allows +huge files to be handled as well as small ones, usually only chunks of +the stream are kept in memory for processing, never the whole stream at +once. + +WWW: http://packages.python.org/gitdb/ |
