git_index_open_bare

Version:

Create a new Git index object as a memory representation of the Git index file in 'index_path', without a repository to back it.

Since there is no ODB behind this index, any Index methods which rely on the ODB (e.g. index_add) will fail with the GIT_EBAREINDEX error code.
