Git Abstraction Layer for Lua
=============================

Gall is an abstraction layer to provide access to Git repositories for Lua
programs.  It combines access via the Git binaries by use of [Luxio]'s ability
to run external programs and direct access via [libgit2].

For platforms where libgit2 does not work, Gall can always use the external Git
binary instead.

Note, gall should work with Lua 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3; but the test suite run by
the Makefile requires at least 5.2 in order to blacklist any system gall module
present.  We recommend that any packaging should build-conflict with an
installed gall module in order to ensure build-time tests are clean.
