giterator

Python tools for doing git things:

• Git wraps command-line git for scripting everyday repository operations, with structured access to the log.

• read and write replay a repository’s history as a series of dated snapshots and turn dated snapshots, such as backups, back into history. The giterator command line tool packs and unpacks dated files in the same way.

• giterator.testing.Repo makes sample repositories for automated tests, with machine-independent configuration and single-call commits.
