Subject: odb: read alternates via sources
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f7dbd9fb2ea9b14b4df0949411205f4b5d284b41;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

odb: read alternates via sources

Adapt how we read alternates so that the interface is structured around
the object database source we're reading from. This will eventually
allow us to abstract away this behaviour with pluggable object databases
so that every format can have its own mechanism for listing alternates.
