git hooks!

Well, well...

I'm working heavily on the git hook implementations, this is cooking for way to long now. The basics are already working, though. One can commit changes to the store with a default message which is set in the configuration file (no commandline yet, though the --override-config flag should work – at least I cannot see why it shouldn't). One can also commit via the commandline (interactive) by either using the editor or by typing on the commandline directly, though there only a single line is supported.

What I want to implement in the basic git hook support:

• When a file is created, it should be added to the repository (done)
• When a file is removed, it should be removed from the repository

What I want to implement as soon as possible:

• When a file is moved, it should be moved in the repository
• A user might want to select, what entries in the store should be committed automatically with a commit message from the configuration, and what things she wants to commit herself.
• If there is no repository in the store, it should be created automatically. If there are entries that are not yet added, but are not part of the update hook (so they are not in the repository and we are currently working on another entry) the user should at least get a warning. Even better would be if the user could decide whether the entries should be committed automatically or whether they should be left alone.

Other things

Another week of vacation.

Yes, I'm on vacation again from September 10th until September 19th (or maybe 20th). There will be no merges in this time, but you are all welcome to open PRs or issues and of course I will answer and review as soon as I'm back.
