Description: Software Heritage - Loader foundations
        ======================================
        
        The Software Heritage Loader Core is a low-level loading utilities and
        helpers used by :term:`loaders <loader>`.
        
        The main entry points are classes:
        - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.BaseLoader` for loaders (e.g. svn)
        - :class:`swh.loader.core.loader.DVCSLoader` for DVCS loaders (e.g. hg, git, ...)
        - :class:`swh.loader.package.loader.PackageLoader` for Package loaders (e.g. PyPI, Npm, ...)
        
        Package loaders
        ---------------
        
        This package also implements many package loaders directly, out of convenience,
        as they usually are quite similar and each fits in a single file.
        
        They all roughly follow these steps, explained in the
        :py:meth:`swh.loader.package.loader.PackageLoader.load` documentation.
        See the :ref:`package-loader-tutorial` for details.
        
        VCS loaders
        -----------
        
        Unlike package loaders, VCS loaders remain in separate packages,
        as they often need more advanced conversions and very VCS-specific operations.
        
        This usually involves getting the branches of a repository and recursively loading
        revisions in the history (and directory trees in these revisions),
        until a known revision is found
