=head1 NAME

Git::Database - Provide access to the Git object database

=head1 VERSION

version 0.007

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    # get a store
    my $r  = Git::Repository->new();

    # build a backend to access the store
    my $db = Git::Database::Backend::Git::Repository->new( store => $r );

    # or let Git::Database figure it out by itself
    my $db = Git::Database->new( store => $r );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Git::Database provides access from Perl to the object database stored
in a Git repository. It can use any supported Git wrapper to access
the Git object database maintained by Git.

Git::Database is actually a factory class: L</new> returns
L<backend|Git::Database::Tutorial/backend> instances.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

    my $r = Git::Repository->new;

    # $db is-a Git::Database::Backend::Git::Repository
    my $db = Git::Database->new( store => $r );

Return a L<backend|Git::Database::Tutorial/backend> object, based on
the class of the L<store|Git::Database::Tutorial/store> object.

=head1 BACKEND METHODS

The backend methods are split between several roles, and not all backends
do all the roles. Therefore not all backend objects support all the
following methods.

=head2 From L<Git::Database::Role::Backend>

This is the minimum required role to be a backend. Hence this method is
always available.
