Useless dichotomy between oid and commit

Commencez par le reproducer et les points d’entrée repo.branches.local.create et resolve_refish présentés dans l’issue. Suivez la façon dont create traite son argument commit et dont un Oid est résolu, puis vérifiez le comportement attendu par rapport au TypeError affiché. Le travail est terminé lorsque le comportement de l’API pour un Oid faisant référence à un commit est défini et couvert par une vérification de régression appropriée.

code

import tempfile
import pygit2
import subprocess
import shutil
import sys

print(f"python: {sys.version}")
print(f"libgit2: {pygit2.LIBGIT2_VERSION}")
print(f"pygit2: {pygit2.__version__}")


repodir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
repo = pygit2.init_repository(repodir, bare=True)

sig = pygit2.Signature('Test User', 'testuser@nowhere.net')

data = 'blah blah master'
tree = repo.TreeBuilder()
tree.insert('file', repo.create_blob(data.encode()), pygit2.GIT_FILEMODE_BLOB)

master_commit_oid = repo.create_commit('HEAD', sig, sig, 'master commit', tree.write(), [])

repo.lookup_branch('master').set_target(master_commit_oid)

print(f"dullahan: {repo.head_is_detached}")

repo.head.set_target(master_commit_oid) # no effect?

print(f"dullahan: {repo.head_is_detached}")

subprocess.run(['cat', repodir + '/HEAD'])

data = 'blah blah feature'
tree = repo.TreeBuilder()
tree.insert('file', repo.create_blob(data.encode()), pygit2.GIT_FILEMODE_BLOB)

feature_commit_oid = repo.create_commit('HEAD', sig, sig, 'feature commit', tree.write(), [master_commit_oid])

feature_commit = repo.resolve_refish(feature_commit_oid.hex)[0] # why is this needed?!

repo.branches.local.create('feature', feature_commit_oid)

subprocess.run(['git', '--no-pager', '--git-dir', repodir, 'log'])
hutil.rmtree(repodir)

TypeError: argument 2 must be _pygit2.Commit, not _pygit2.Oid

Why?!

Clearly the Oid can be deterministically converted to a commit so long as it refers to one. The code already needs to access the on-disk repository and is inspecting the parameter, throwing an exception when it does not like it. Why can't it determine if the Oid refers to a commit, and convert it automatically when it does?
