Fixed memory protection errors in the git2r C source code reported by the ‘rchk’ tool.
Raise an error if the path argument to the ‘hashfile’ function is NA.
On macOS, git2r no longer enables SSH transport by default. This is due to the complexity to build the dependencies for SSH transport in an R package when macOS no longer ships the OpenSSL headers. However, you can install git2r from source on macOS (see the ‘R Installation and Administration’ manual) with SSH transport enabled if you first install the libgit2 library, for example, using the Homebrew package manager. Another possibility is to let the build configuration automatically download the libgit2 library from the Homebrew package manager with:
install.packages(‘git2r’, type=‘source’, configure.vars=‘autobrew=yes’)
Added the ‘git_config_files’ method to locate configuration files.
Added the ‘stash_pop’ method to apply a single stashed state from the stash list and remove it from the list if successful.

Changed from S4 classes to S3 classes to simplify the design and facilitate future development.
Removed the trailing slash from the directory name when reporting repository path or workdir.

Improvements to the build configuration script.
Updated the bundled libgit2 source code to commit (15e1193) (v0.26.0) from 14 June 2017.
Added ‘checkout’ argument to ‘clone()’. Allows to control whether checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete. Setting ‘checkout=FALSE’ has similar effect as the git command line option ‘–no-checkout’. Andrzej K. Oles in #282.
Fixed memory protection errors in the git2r C source code reported by the ‘rchk’ tool.
Added missing calls to ‘R_forceSymbols’ and ‘R_useDynamicSymbols’ in the C init function.

Add the ‘tag_delete’ method to delete an existing tag reference.
Update build configuration to support OpenSSL 1.1.0.
If the the ‘getPass’ package is installed the ‘cred_ssh_key’ method to create a new passphrase-protected ssh key credential object will call the ‘getPass::getPass()’ method if the private key is passphrase protected to allow for interactive input of the passphrase. The ‘getPass’ package is a suggested package. (Peter Meissner in PR #254)
Add ‘path’ argument to the ‘reset’ method to enable path-specific unstage, i.e. resets the index entries for all paths to their state at HEAD
Build configuration: ‘pkg-config’ is now used to find ‘libssl’, if possible (Elias Pipping in PR #231).
Added a method to coerce a ‘git_commit’ object to a ‘data.frame’.
Added the method ‘is_branch’ to check if an object is a ‘git_branch’.

Add name of branch to each item in branch_list.
Add name of tag to each item in tags list.
Add S4 class ‘cred_env’ to pass credentials in environment variables.
SSH transport on Windows. This requires ‘LibSSH2’ and ‘OpenSSL’. These two libraries are downloaded from ‘https://github.com/rwinlib’ during configuration of the package.
