git_object_peel

Version:

Recursively peel an object until an object of the specified type is met.

The retrieved peeled object is owned by the repository and should be closed with the git_object_free method.

If you pass GIT_OBJ_ANY as the target type, then the object will be peeled until the type changes (e.g. a tag will be chased until the referenced object is no longer a tag).
