JGit/New and Noteworthy/0.8
Porcelain API
There's a new Git class that simplifies working with the JGit APIs.
// record a few commits Git git = new Git(db); git.commit().setMessage("initial commit").call(); git.commit().setMessage("second commit").setCommitter(committer).call(); git.commit().setMessage("third commit").setAuthor(author).call();
I18N
Exception messages are now translatable.
Standalone command utility `jgit` has translatable help/usage/output text.
Translations to languages other than English is now welcome.
Performance
Pack creation (during push, or when used as a server) uses about 50% less memory. This can be a significant savings for projects with 1 million+ objects.
