  # Before
  signature = Signature('foo', 'bar')
  ...
  reference.set_target(target, signature=signature, message=message)
  repo.set_head(target, signature=signature)
  remote.fetch(signature=signature)
  remote.push(signature=signature)
  
  # Now
  repo.set_ident('foo', 'bar')
  ...
  reference.set_target(target, message=message)
  repo.set_head(target)
  remote.push()
  
  # The current identity can be get with
  repo.ident

• Some remote setters have been replaced by methods:

  # Before                       # Now
  Remote.url = url               Repository.remotes.set_url(name, url)
  Remote.push_url = url          Repository.remotes.set_push_url(name, url)
  
  Remote.add_fetch(refspec)      Repository.remotes.add_fetch(name, refspec)
  Remote.add_push(refspec)       Repository.remotes.add_push(name, refspec)
  
  Remote.fetch_refspecs = [...]  removed, use the config API instead
  Remote.push_refspecs = [...]   removed, use the config API instead
