Subject: [PATCH 05/13] reftable: utility functions
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2020 19:10:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <570a8c4bcac54295865ee0fc4514073b59725511.1600283416.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.847.git.git.1600283416.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@google.com>

This commit provides basic utility classes for the reftable library.

Since the reftable library must compile standalone, there may be some overlap
with git-core utility functions.
