Oct 11, 2023…opers#1659 When gitpython-developers#1659 was updated to pick up linting configuration changes, it inadvertently undid one of the URL changes made in gitpython-developers#1662, putting the URL in the git.exe module back to the one that redirects to a different BSD license from the one this project uses. Since only that one module was affected, the fix is simple. This only changes the URL back; it doesn't undo any other gitpython-developers#1659 changes.

Oct 20, 2023The git.exc module imports exceptions from gitdb.exc to republish them, as well as defining its own (also for use from outside). But because it did not define __all__, the intent for the exceptions it imported was unclear, since names that are introduced by imports and not present in __all__ are not generally considered public, even when __all__ is absent and a "*" import would reimport them. This rectifies that by adding __all__ and listing both imported and newly introduced exceptions explicitly in it. Although this strictly expands which names are public under typical conventions, it strictly contracts which names are imported by a "*" import, because the presence of __all__ suppresses names not listed in it from being imported that way. However, because under typical conventions those other names are not considered public, and they were not even weakly documented as public, this should be okay. (Even though this is not a breaking change, in that code it would break would already technically be broken... if it turns out that it is common to wrongly rely on the availabiliy of those names, then this may need to be revisited and slightly modified.) This brings the readily identified public interface of git.exc in line with what is weakly implied (and intended) by its docstring. This also modifies __init__.py accordingly: The top-level git module has for some time used a "*" import on git.exc, causing the extra names originally meant as implementation details to be included. Because its own __all__ was dynamically generated until c862845, gitpython-developers#1659 also added 8edc53b to retain the formerly present names in __all__. So the change here imports those names from the modules that deliberately provide them, to preserve compatibility.

Feb 24, 2024This makes the git.refresh function unambiguously public. git.refresh was already public in the sense that it was explicitly documented as appropriate to call from code outside GitPython. However, it had not been included in git.__all__. Because __all__ existed but omitted "refresh", git.refresh had appeared non-public to automated tools. This also does some cleanup: - It removes a comment that showed how git.__all__ had been defined dynamically before gitpython-developers#1659, since with the addition of "refresh", git.__all__ no longer contains exactly the same elements as that technique produced (as it examined the module's contents prior to running the def statement that bound the name "refresh"). - With that comment removed, it is no longer necessary to define __all__ below the imports to show what the dynamic techinque had operated on. So this moves it up above them in accordance with PEP-8.

Feb 24, 2024This adds comments to entries in git.__all__ for each of the entries that come from the standard library typing module, noting them as deprecated. These imports were included in __all__ inadvertently due to the way __all__ was dynamically constructed, and placed in __all__ explicitly when __all__ became static in gitpython-developers#1659. They are there for backward compatibility, in case some code relies on them being there. But a module is unlikely to rely intentionally on the git module providing them, since they are not conceptually related to GitPython. `from git import *` should not typically be used, since wildcard imports are not generally recommended, as discussed in PEP-8. But if someone does choose to use it, they would probably benefit less from DeprecationWarning being issued for each of those names than they would usually benefit from DeprecationWarning. This could lead to developers deciding not to enable DeprecationWarning when it may otherwise be useful. For this reason, no attempt is currently made to issue DeprecationWarning when those names are accessed as attributes of the git module.

Mar 18, 2024The submodules being made explicit here are of course Python submodules, not git submodules. The git.objects.submodule Python submodule (which is *about* git submodules) is made explicit here (as are the names imported from that Python submodule's own Python submodules) along with the other Python submodules of git.objects. Unlike some other submodules, but like the top-level git module until gitpython-developers#1659, git.objects already defined __all__ but it was dynamically constructed. As with git.__all__ previously (as noted in gitpython-developers#1859), I have used https://github.com/EliahKagan/deltall here to check that it is safe, sufficient, and probably necessary to replace this dynamically constructed __all__ with a literal list of strings in which all of the original elements are included. See: https://gist.github.com/EliahKagan/e627603717ca5f9cafaf8de9d9f27ad7 Running the modattrs.py script, and diffing against the output from before the current import refactoring began, reveals two changes to module contents as a result of the change here: - git.objects no longer contains `inspect`, which it imported just to build the dynamically constructed __all__. Because this was not itself included in that __all__ or otherwise made public or used out of git.objects, that is okay. This is exactly analogous to the situation in 8197e90, which removed it from the top-level git module after gitpython-developers#1659. - The top-level git module now has has new attributes blob, commit, submodule, and tree, aliasing the corresponding modules. This has happened as a result of them being put in git.objects.__all__ along with various names imported from them. (As noted in some prior commits, there are tradeoffs associated with doing this, and it may be that such elements of __all__ should be removed, here and elsewhere.)
