How to get gix::objs::Tree from repo.head_commit()?

[Reverier-Xu]

Hi, thank you for your awesome work!

I'm trying to write a git server with gitoxide, and I'd like to allow user upload a file in web page.

I learned your example here and wrote code like this:

use gix::{
    objs::{tree, Tree},
    ThreadSafeRepository,
};

...

let mut repo = self.repo.to_thread_local();
let blob_id = repo.write_blob(data)?.into();
let entry = tree::Entry {
    mode: tree::EntryMode::Blob,
    oid: blob_id,
    filename: filename.as_ref().to_owned().into(),
};

let tree = repo.head_commit()?.tree()?;  // <- this `tree` is gix::Tree, which is not same as gix::objs::Tree.

//tree.entries.push(entry);
//let new_tree_id = repo.write_object(tree);
//repo.commit(...)

I'm trying to find something to convert two different Trees, there is also no way to construct a gix::objs::Tree with old trees in previous commits.

What should I do to implement this? Thanks for your help!

Thanks for making me aware. Creating trees for commits indeed is a very manual process right now, and would you are trying to do should definitely be supported.

That said, in main you will now find 7c2e5c8d08e4dd1ec115ae06f20f9c8f93d6d616 which makes it possible to turn a gix::Tree into a gix::objs::Tree with tree.try_into().

I hope that helps.
