git_object_lookup

Lookup a reference to one of the objects in a repository.

The generated reference is owned by the repository and should be closed with the git_object_free method instead of free'd manually.

The 'type' parameter must match the type of the object in the odb; the method will fail otherwise. The special value 'git_object_t.GIT_OBJECT_ANY' may be passed to let the method guess the object's type.

@param object pointer to the looked-up object @param repo the repository to look up the object @param id the unique identifier for the object @param type the type of the object @return 0 or an error code
