Description

Ideally, this would include allowing creation of custom filters (trait name recommendations appreciated).

Specifically, I think I'll need:

  • git_filter
  • git_filter_register
  • git_blob_filtered_content

I may work on this for my current project.

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested git_filter, git_filter_register, and git_blob_filtered_content APIs with the repository's existing libgit2 bindings. Done means custom filters can be created and registered and filtered blob content is exposed; the issue names no files or tests.
