Description

While working on tdlib-versioned (currently non-public, will be published in a couple of days), I encountered a couple of problems: there's not enough documentation and no API to do basic tasks, like enumerate the Git commit files and extract their contents by path.

We should add an example on how to do that, and streamline the API for that purpose.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing API for retrieving file contents and compare with Git's internal object model. Then, design a streamlined API and create an example in the documentation.
