Mimic values.

When the user use an Endpoint.t to fetch or push, we fill the given Mimic's ctx with some available informations such as:

  • if we want to fetch (`Rd) or push (`Wr)
  • the scheme/protocol that the user would like to use (git://, SSH or HTTP - with or without TLS)
  • the path of the git repository
  • the host (an IP adress or a domain name)
  • the SSH user iff the user would like to use SSH
  • the port that the user would like to use

From this informations, the end-user can process them through the Mimic API (with Mimic.fold) and describe how to create needed values to start a protocol from them.

For example, if the user wants to use mirage-tcpip which needs an IP address and a port, he is able to re-use/map/fold git_host and git_port to craft what mirage-tcpip really needs.

Of course, such job is definitely outside the scope of ocaml-git and permits to us to be free about protocol implementations. An example of the plumbing needed is able with git-mirage which re-use these values to be able to start a mirage-tcpip connection, a awa-ssh connection of a cohttp (with or without ocaml-tls) connection.
