Examples

## Not run: 
## Create a directory in tempdir
path <- tempfile(pattern="git2r-")
dir.create(path)

## Initialize a repository
repo <- init(path)
config(repo, user.name = "Alice", user.email = "alice@example.org")

## Create a file, add and commit
writeLines("Master branch", file.path(path, "master_branch.txt"))
add(repo, "master_branch.txt")
commit_1 <- commit(repo, "Commit message 1")

## Create first branch, checkout, add file and commit
branch_1 <- branch_create(commit_1, "branch_1")
checkout(branch_1)
writeLines("Branch 1", file.path(path, "branch_1.txt"))
add(repo, "branch_1.txt")
commit_2 <- commit(repo, "Commit message branch_1")

## Create second branch, checkout, add file and commit
branch_2 <- branch_create(commit_1, "branch_2")
checkout(branch_2)
writeLines("Branch 2", file.path(path, "branch_2.txt"))
add(repo, "branch_2.txt")
commit_3 <- commit(repo, "Commit message branch_2")

## Check that merge base equals commit_1
stopifnot(identical(merge_base(commit_2, commit_3), commit_1))

## End(Not run)
