public-inbox.git - an "archives first" approach to mailing lists

2023-11-03	move read_all, try_cat, and poll_in to PublicInbox::IO
	The IO package seems like a better home for I/O subs than the Git package. We lose the 60 second read timeout for `git cat-file --batch-*' processes since it's probably not necessary given how reliable the code has proven and things would fall over hard in other ways if the storage device were completely hosed.
2023-11-03	multi_git: use autodie
	Trying to move away from half my code being "or die" statements...
2023-10-28	treewide: use run_qx where appropriate
	This saves us some code, and is a small step towards getting ProcessIO working with stat, fcntl and other perlops that don't work with tied handles.
2023-10-18	use read_all in more places to improve safety
	`readline' ops may not detect errors on partial reads. This saves us some code to reduce cognitive overhead for readers. We'll also support reusing a destination buffers so it can work more nicely with existing code.
2023-02-20	multi_git: do not set include.path if already set
	The epoch may already be read-only, and we don't need to cause more I/O traffic and disk wear for no-op stuff. This fixes idempotent use of public-inbox-clone to update multi-epoch inboxes.
2021-10-16	extindex: prune invalid alternate entries on --gc
	Seeing the same warning over and over again gets annoying.
2021-09-15	multi_git: hoist out common epoch/alternates handling
	IMHO, this greatly improves code sharing and organization between v2, extindex, and lei/store. Common git-related logic for these is lightly-refactored and easier to reason about. The impetus for this big change was to ensure inboxes created+managed by public-inbox-{clone,fetch} could have alternates and configs setup properly without depending on SQLite (via V2Writable). This change does that while making old code shorter and better factored.
