Multi-part (stream) commit operations

[brumlemann]

Hi All

First post here and still in research mode so forgive me if this is bleeding obvious to everybody,

I am attempting to use Git (for me, for now GitLab) as a backing store to provide version capabilities for xml documents from code. I have been able to sort of break through using NGitLab but I would really like to have Stream support since that's how I receive the content to be stored. Feels very wasteful to copy the stream content into a content string before POST/PUT.

I was pretty sure Gitlab supports multi part streaming protocol in the api, at least I have seen some articles mentioning it and then I found the FormDataContent model and was excited, but it turned out to just be used in the IProjectClient and for more project related uploads, like files for MRs etc. :-(

Am I missing something here that is right under my nose or is this going to lead to a feature request in NGitLab? Does Gitlab Api support multi part for commits or is it just in the projects realm?

Regards and thx in advance
