  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; `org-git-link.el' defines two new link types. The `git' link
  26 ;; type is meant to be used in the typical scenario and mimics the
  27 ;; `file' link syntax as closely as possible. The `gitbare' link
  28 ;; type exists mostly for debugging reasons, but also allows e.g.
  29 ;; linking to files in a bare git repository for the experts.
  30
  31 ;; * User friendy form
  32 ;;   [[git:/path/to/file::searchstring]]
  33
  34 ;;   This form is the familiar from normal org file links
  35 ;;   including search options. However, its use is
  36 ;;   restricted to files in a working directory and does not
  37 ;;   handle bare repositories on purpose (see the bare form for
  38 ;;   that).
  39
  40 ;;   The search string references a commit (a tree-ish in Git
  41 ;;   terminology). The two most useful types of search strings are
  42
  43 ;;   - A symbolic ref name, usually a branch or tag name (e.g.
  44 ;;     master or nobelprize).
  45 ;;   - A ref followed by the suffix @ with a date specification
  46 ;;     enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. {yesterday}, {1 month 2
  47 ;;     weeks 3 days 1 hour 1 second ago} or {1979-02-26 18:30:00})
  48 ;;     to specify the value of the ref at a prior point in time
  49 ;;
  50 ;; * Bare git form
  51 ;;   [[gitbare:$GIT_DIR::$OBJECT]]
  52 ;;
  53 ;;    This is the more bare metal version, which gives the user most
  54 ;;    control. It directly translates to the git command
  55 ;;    git --no-pager --git-dir=$GIT_DIR show $OBJECT
  56 ;;    Using this version one can also view files from a bare git
  57 ;;    repository. For detailed information on how to specify an
  58 ;;    object, see the man page of `git-rev-parse' (section
  59 ;;    SPECIFYING REVISIONS). A specific blob (file) can be
  60 ;;    specified by a suffix clolon (:) followed by a path.
