In leeper/ghit: Lightweight GitHub Package Installer

CHANGES TO v0.2.18

• Switch tests to use a dummy repository https://github.com/leeper/testghit. (#27)

CHANGES TO v0.2.17

• Made installation tests conditional on the ability to create a temporary library, hopefully eliminating CRAN errors.
• The default type argument is now "source" rather than .Platform[["pkgType"]] on Windows. (#19)

CHANGES TO v0.2.16

• Better handling of "Suggests" dependencies. Added message about ignoring versions thereof.
• Improved verbosity of installation messages when verbose = TRUE.

CHANGES TO v0.2.15

• Refactored various parts of internal code so that install_github() and install_bitbucket() rely on same workhorse functionality and thus do not duplicate as much code.

CHANGES TO v0.2.14

• Improved installation of packages in install_github() when build_vignettes = TRUE (the default) and "Suggests" packages are not already installed by introducing a pre-build run of install.packages() for the "Suggests" packages. "Suggests" are not installed recursively unless "Suggests" is listed explicitly in dependencies. (#24)

CHANGES TO v0.2.13

• Added support for Bitbucket remote by way of install_bitbucket(). Note that installing from a pull request reference is unsupported by Bitbucket (#15, @imanuelcostigan).
• Implemented install_bitbucket_server() which provides a more convenient interface to using Bitbucket Server for some users (@imanuelcostigan)

CHANGES TO v0.2.12

• Removed hard-coded type argument in install.packages() to allow install of binary package dependencies on Windows or OS X. (#19)
• Changed the way a default CRAN mirror was being set in cases where there was no default mirror specified. (#19)
• Switched to roxygen2 documentation.

CHANGES TO v0.2.10

• Added more informative error when repo string is malformed. (#17, h/t Joseph Stachelek)

CHANGES TO v0.2.9

• Removed automatic installation of "Suggests" dependencies.

CHANGES TO v0.2.8

• Fixed a small bug in printing the package name when verbose = TRUE.

CHANGES TO v0.2.7

• ghit is now hosted by the cloudyr project.

CHANGES TO v0.2.6

• install_github() now installs devtools-style metadata into the DESCRIPTION file to faciliate compatibility with devtools::session_info() printing. (#16)
• A new uninstall argument to install_github() allows users to remove old package installation(s) before installing the new package(s). (#14)
• Some internal code cleanup has been performed to ease package maintenance.

CHANGES TO v0.2.5

• CRAN release.

CHANGES TO v0.2.3

• Added support for installing pull requests thanks to an update to git2r. This will only work with the development version of git2r (available from GitHub). (#10)
• Packages with a loaded namespace are now unloaded before installation and reloaded thereafter.

CHANGES TO v0.2.1

• Fixed a reference to compareVersion() that triggered a warning at the opposite times from expected.

CHANGES TO v0.2.0

• CRAN Release.

CHANGES TO v0.1.21

• Refactored parse_reponame() to allow arguments in basically any order.

CHANGES TO v0.1.14

• Removed drat dependency, which fixed the persistent 'user.name' configuration error. (#11)

CHANGES TO v0.1.11

• Refactor to vectorize install_github() so dependencies are installed collectively.

CHANGES TO v0.1.9

• Set repo configuration in case global defaults are not set.

CHANGES TO v0.1.8

• Add an argument build_vignettes to control vignette building. (#9)

CHANGES TO v0.1.7

• Install suggested packages by default. (#9)

CHANGES TO v0.1.5

• Exposed a dependencies argument to control installation of dependencies.
• Experiment with references, tags, pull requests, and files.

CHANGES TO v0.1.3

• Update path to R binary.

CHANGES TO v0.1.2

• Fix config() error.

CHANGES TO v0.1.1

• Initial release
