Hi
I am looking forward to integrate Git with my tool. Following are the operations I am looking forward.
git servers typically do not allow to fetch based on commitId for security reasons. Normally they only allow to fetch based on refs (branches, tags)
I don't understand this question. Git is a distributed versioning system this means you typically have a clone of the repository
which contains the complete history of the project. Hence there is no need to fetch again to access file content.
I don't know which SDK you are referring to. EGit is based on JGit API [1].
JGit and EGit do not limit the size of url and commit message but your git server may have limits.
So far commitIds are fixed size SHA1 hashes. This may change when the migration to SHA-256 [2] lands in native git.
Again git is a distributed versioning system where you don't have access to the local workspace of an author.
The usual way to implement code review with git is to create a commit in a user's local clone and share it via
git transport to another git repository (or send it via email as linux does) most often this repository is a server
which is always available but also peer to peer scenarios should be possible if you can establish a connection.
Examples for code review on commits in a central git repository are github, gitlab, gerrit code review.
no, this is a github API supporting the proprietary Github REST API which isn't supported by other git server implementations.
Typically such tasks are implemented on a local clone of the repository you are interested in. Since git is a distributed and not
a centralized versioning system. If you want to do this in Java use JGit.
