support reftable ref database

Open hanwen opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

reftable is a scalable format for the ref database. It would be nice to support it in go-git

See https://github.com/eclipse/jgit/blob/master/Documentation/technical/reftable.md

(I'm interested in working on this.)

status update: https://github.com/google/reftable has an implementation for the format.

I've started talks with libgit2 and git-core folks, see https://public-inbox.org/git/[email protected]/ and https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/5352#issuecomment-572934913

My plan is to relicense the library to be GPLv2 with a linking exception, ie. the library that libgit2 uses.

I think this should make integrating with go-git feasible. Can you confirm importing github.com/google/reftable is OK with you from a license perspective.

thanks!
