@Gozala Sorry for the late reply (from now on I'll get notified if a new issue is opened). Your interpretation of the `dagNode` and the resolver `value` is correct. It's...

First of all, thanks for your effort. I felt similar 4 weeks ago when I tried to make sense of the code base. My immediate thought when reading this spec...

For me a Format implements a Codec.

Though this is about DAG-JSON and not about plain JSON, isn't it? > I **do** want to keep two codecs in the tutorial though Having two codecs makes sense.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. This codec operates on raw Git objects. The test fixtures contain objects of the types `blob`, `commit`, `tag` and `tree`, which seem...

AFAIK, those things are not stored in Git, they are calculated. For more information about renames, https://chelseatroy.com/2020/05/09/question-how-does-git-detect-renames/ is a good read. And for Git internals I recommend the ["Git Internals"...
