Moved plenty of code around to separate pure python implementation from future ones. This will change plenty of imports, which still needs to be fixed. Fortunately, this is a good foundation for getting all the tests fixed one again. Another step is to make the tests more flexible by allowing to run them with different object database easily.

-* Added interface to allow transporting git data: **TransportDB**
-* Added interface to allow reference resolution: **RefParseMixin**
-* Added interface to handle git related paths: **RepositoryPathsMixin**
-* Added interface to read and write git-like configuration: **ConfigurationMixin**
-* Added **RevParseMixin** providing reference resolution.
-* Added implementation of git datbase with support for transportation and reference resolution: **RefGitDB**
-* Renamed type *GitDB* to **GitODB** to differentiate its object-only property to the **RefGitDB** 
+* == **General Design** ==
+
+ * Database Interfaces have no implementation anymore (or only a minimal most general one where adequate). All previous implementation moved to the *py* subdirectory, which is designated to the pure python implementation. It

+ * Renamed type *GitDB* to **GitODB**. *GitDB* now is a new type with more functionality
+ * Renamed type **FileDB** to **RootPathDB**
