Create a stream to write a new blob into the object db
This function may need to buffer the data on disk and will in
general not be the right choice if you know the size of the data
to write. If you have data in memory, use
git_blob_create_from_buffer()
. If you do not, but know the size of
the contents (and don't want/need to perform filtering), use
git_odb_open_wstream()
.
Don't close this stream yourself but pass it to
git_blob_create_from_stream_commit()
to commit the write to the
object db and get the object id.
If the hintpath
parameter is filled, it will be used to determine
what git filters should be applied to the object before it is written
to the object database.
Repository where the blob will be written. This repository can be bare or not.
If not NULL, will be used to select data filters to apply onto the content of the blob to be created.
