What is the equivalent of `git checkout some_branch` about p5-git-raw HOT 2 CLOSED

You are right. I just implement the equivalent of git_repository_set_head(), and this is what you should do to simulate git checkout some_branch now:

my $branch = Git::Raw::Branch -> lookup($repo, 'some_branch', 1);
$repo -> checkout($branch -> target, { 'checkout_strategy' => { 'safe' => 1 } });
$repo -> head($branch);

(I just tried and it seems to work)

Note that I also took the opportunity to sync the checkout strategies in Git::Raw with the new ones in libgit2, so "update_unmodified", "update_missing", "update_modified" and "update_untracked" were removed (but you can now use the "safe" strategy, which is what git checkout does).

Also note that, as of now, the checkout implementation in Git::Raw is quite incomplete (e.g. there's no support for resolving conflicts), so only simple use cases are currently possible.

That seems to have done the trick. Ship it!

By the way, yours is the first XS code I've actually been able to understand. Well done! 👍
