a great discussion about this, which inspired the feature)

[ENHANCEMENTS]
- None. It's as good as 1.19, without the stupid test fail.
[TESTS]
- one test always failed if run outside of a git repository,
so I didn't detect it, but all testers did :-(
Kazuhiro Shibuya provided a patch!
1.19 2011-06-08 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- new final_output() method to Git::Repository::Command,
that does the git-specific error checking when collecting
the final output
- Git::Repository::Log::Iterator will now properly die/warn
when the log command is incorrect (thanks to Lasse Makholm
for the bug report and proposed patch)
- Git::Repository::Command now supports an arrayref as the 'git'

1.18 2011-04-16 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]

porcelain commands) and is now obsolete
[DOCUMENTATION]
- added an example for running git shortlog (RT #66783)
1.17 2011-02-01 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Git::Repository::Command now uses System::Command internally
[TESTS]
- skip some tests that needed a specific version of git
- delete GIT_EDITOR in tests that check it (Nigel Metheringham)
[BUGS]
- getting a working Win32 implementation is now delegated
to System::Command
1.16 2011-01-16 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- the reaping of the child process is now delegated to a special
Git::Repository::Command::Reaper object.
Code such as my $fh = Git::Repository::Command->new(@cmd)->stdout()
will now work as expected.
[TESTS]
- Test::Git::has_git() now accepts the usual options hash
- fixed tests to pass again under Perl 5.6.2
1.15 2011-01-11 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- experimental MSWin32 full support using pipes
(thanks to BinGOs for pointing me to a perlmonks post by ikegami,
that contained working code)
- Git::Repository::Log now has a raw_message() accessor, that
returns the message with 4-space indent output by git log
(Note that this change is INCOMPATIBLE with previous versions,
in which message() returned the indented log message, and you
had to make up your own "clean" version).
[TESTS]
- no more skipping tests under MSWin32, but there are some issues
with the win32 code, as sometimes the output or errput of the git
command is lost (HELP!)
- bundle Test::Git, a module providing a few utility functions
for testing code requiring a git repository
1.14 2010-10-27 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- complete rewrite of _has_git, which was renamed to _is_git,
with a much improved cache for the "is this git valid?" info
- calling new() with the 'git' option will now work correctly
when there is no git in the PATH (fixes RT bug #62283,
reported by Todd Rinaldo)
- improved the plugin system design (thanks to Aristotle Pagaltzis)
- fixes for making Git::Repository work with modules that do
bad things to STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR (thanks to Todd Rinaldo)
[TESTS]
- improved tests on Win32 (thanks to Olivier Raginel (BABAR)
for giving me access to a Win32 VM with Git installed)
[BUGS]
- sadly, the work on Win32 showed that Git::Repository doesn't
fully support that platform, but the test suite safely skips
the tests that hang under Win32. I hope to fix this over time.
1.13 2010-10-18 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- using 'git' as an option of a Git::Repository object now works
as expected
- version() also accepts option hashes
- plugin system to load new keywords in the Git::Repository namespace
- Git::Repository::Plugin::Log provides the log() method with the
help of Git::Repository::Log and Git::Repository::Log::Iterator
(Thanks to Todd Rinaldo and Aristotle Pagaltzis for discussions
and ideas about what became the plugin system.)
[TESTS]
- tested against 120+ versions of git, including all versions
of the 1.6.* and 1.7.* branches up until 1.7.3.1
1.12 2010-10-04 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]

- if the input option is undef, it still means "don't touch stdin"
1.11 2010-10-02 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]

(version 1.7.1.209.gd60ad81 is smaller than 1.7.1.1.1.g66bd8ab)
[TESTS]
- skip tests that fail between between versions 1.7.1 and 1.7.1.1
(thanks to Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni for the private report)
- fix abs_path dying on Win32 with a path to a non-existent file
(again)
1.10 2010-09-24 BOOK

if the input option is set to something empty
- Git::Repository::Command now has a version number too
[DOCUMENTATION]
- minor copy editing by Aristotle Pagaltzis
1.09 2010-08-18 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- now handle SIGPIPE when writing to git stdin
(fixes RT bug #60482, reported by Todd Rinaldo (TODDR))
- new() ignores the 'input' option for git commands called
during initialization
[TESTS]
- t/20-simple.t should stop failing with "Non-zero wait status: 13"
as it has been doing since 1.05.
1.08 2010-08-17 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Git::Repository->new() now supports git versions older than 1.5.3
[TESTS]
- ensure we have some identity when committing

1.07 2010-08-14 BOOK
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- support for option hash in create(), which is attached to the
returned Git::Repository object
- accessors for Git::Repository::Command objects
(including a 'cmdline' accessor)
- removed the wc_subdir() attribute, which is useless and
redundant with the cwd option
- completely rewrote the repo_path and wc_path computation in new()
- support new (post-v1.7.1) clone output in create()
- less confusing names for options and attributes:
+ new() now takes git_dir and work_tree
(instead of repository and working_copy)
+ the corresponding attributes are now git_dir and work_tree
(instead of repo_path and wc_path)
+ the older options and attributes are being kept for compatibility
[TESTS]
- tests for the case when GIT_DIR is not .git (Mark Lawrence)
- protect git log tests against format.pretty (Aristotle Pagaltzis)
- tests for backward-compatibility with repository, working_copy, etc.
