Changes Made in this PR
This PR re-implements
Git::Lib#command
. In order to get the desired results, some changes were needed to the signature of this method which caused some changes in code and tests.The implementation of
Git::Lib#command
is handled by the new classGit::CommandLine
. This class has a small interface:#initialize
which accepts attribute values that do not change between git command invocations (env, binary_path, global_opts, and logger) and#run
which takes the git command args, redirection, and flags for normalization, chomping, and merging stderr with stdout.
