git_odb_backend_data_alloc

Version:

Allocate data for an ODB object. Custom ODB backends may use this to provide data back to the ODB from their read function. This memory should not be freed once it is returned to libgit2. If a custom ODB uses this function but encounters an error and does not return this data to libgit2, then they should use the corresponding git_odb_backend_data_free function.
