Read reads structured binary data from r into data.

ReadHash reads a plumbing.Hash from r.

ReadUint16 reads 2 bytes and returns them as a BigEndian uint16.

ReadUint32 reads 4 bytes and returns them as a Big ndian uint32.

ReadUntil reads from r untin delim is found.

ReadVariableWidthInt reads and returns an int in Git VLQ special format: Ordinary VLQ has some redundancies, example: the number 358 can be encoded as the 2-octet VLQ 0x8166 or the 3-octet VLQ 0x808166 or the 4-octet VLQ 0x80808166 and so forth.

WriteUint16 writes the binary representation of a uint16 into w, in BigEndian order.

WriteUint32 writes the binary representation of a uint32 into w, in BigEndian order.
