add and commit support

[dtmistry]

Thank you for this awesome library!! I apologize if this question is already answered.

I see there is support for push using go-git. Is it in the roadmap to support other porcelain commands like 'add' or 'push'?

Also, is there current support to update index or write tree?

I'm trying to use go-git with the memory storer in a tool that updates an existing repository.

+1 , to do what git add/commit does it pretty heavy-lifting, I think we can start with a simple CreateCommitWithBlob() sort of thing on Repository struct first.

I would really love this feature as it would allow me to bundle my application with no external dependencies. Anything I can do to help here? I have some time this weekend, and would love to crank some of this out.

@Skilgarriff I invite you to take a look to the internals, but is not one weekend task. Happy to happy to help you with this tasks.

The main thing required to start, is implement Worktree.Status (git status) based on merkletrie to compare the file system tree, staging area and HEAD

Having a proper status, will be easy implement git add and git commit, those methods aren't more than wiring functions between other components

@Skilgarriff I am doing myself the implementation of status. I hope you didn't started

@mcuadros I have not started yet, I was planning on checking it out today. Can I help at all? Or will you ping here when that is completed and we could begin looking at commit and add

I am opening a PR a soon as I have something, to let you see what is being implemented

You can work in the add now if you want, take a look how create objects, is not very evolved and maybe you will need to do some PRs
