Luadist-git

Luadist-git is Lua module deployment utility for the LuaDist project. In fact it's another version of older luadist utility, rewritten from scratch.

Main Goals

• access git repositories directly (through git) and get rid of unnecessary dependencies (i.e. luasocket, luasec, md5, openssl, unzip) - DONE

• use .gitmodules as a repository manifest file instead of dist.manifest, thus removing the need to update the manifest after every change in modules - DONE

• add functionality for uploading binary versions of modules to repositories - DONE

• once libgit2 matures, use it instead of the git cli command - using lua-git in the meantime
