The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:

do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

Recent updates to "git repack" started to duplicate objects that
are in packfiles marked with .keep flag into the new packfile by
mistake.
* jk/repack-pack-keep-objects:
repack: s/write_bitmap/&s/ in code
repack: respect pack.writebitmaps
repack: do not accidentally pack kept objects by default
We want to make sure that the default behavior of git-repack,
without any options, continues to treat .keep files as it
always has. Adding an explicit --no-pack-kept-objects, as
ee34a2b did, is a much less interesting test, and prevented
us from noticing the bug fixed by 64d3dc9 (repack: do not
accidentally pack kept objects by default, 2014-06-10).

We currently have pack.writeBitmaps, which originally
operated at the pack-objects level. This should really have
been a repack.* option from day one. Let's give it the more
sensible name, but keep the old version as a deprecated
synonym.

The config option to turn on bitmaps is read all the way
down in the plumbing of pack-objects. This makes it hard for
other options in the porcelain of repack to make decisions
based on the bitmap setting. For example,
repack.packKeptObjects tries to kick in by default only when
bitmaps are turned on. But it can't do so reliably because
it doesn't yet know whether we are using bitmaps.
This patch teaches repack to respect pack.writebitmaps. It
means we pass a redundant command-line flag to pack-objects,
but that's OK; it shouldn't affect the outcome.

Commit ee34a2b (repack: add `repack.packKeptObjects` config
var, 2014-03-03) added a flag which could duplicate kept
objects, but did not mean to turn it on by default. Instead,
the option is tied by default to the decision to write
bitmaps, like:
if (pack_kept_objects < 0)
pack_kept_objects = write_bitmap;
after which we expect pack_kept_objects to be a boolean 0 or
1. However, that assignment neglects that write_bitmap is
_also_ a tri-state with "-1" as the default, and with
neither option given, we accidentally turn the option on.
This patch is the minimal fix to restore the desired
behavior for the default state. Further patches will fix the
more complicated cases.
Note the update to t7700. It failed to turn on bitmaps,
meaning we were actually confirming the wrong behavior!

The git-repack command always passes `--honor-pack-keep`
to pack-objects. This has traditionally been a good thing,
as we do not want to duplicate those objects in a new pack,
and we are not going to delete the old pack.
However, when bitmaps are in use, it is important for a full
repack to include all reachable objects, even if they may be
duplicated in a .keep pack. Otherwise, we cannot generate
the bitmaps, as the on-disk format requires the set of
objects in the pack to be fully closed.
Even if the repository does not generally have .keep files,
a simultaneous push could cause a race condition in which a
.keep file exists at the moment of a repack. The repack may
try to include those objects in one of two situations:
1. The pushed .keep pack contains objects that were
already in the repository (e.g., blobs due to a revert of
an old commit).
2. Receive-pack updates the refs, making the objects
reachable, but before it removes the .keep file, the
repack runs.
In either case, we may prefer to duplicate some objects in
the new, full pack, and let the next repack (after the .keep
file is cleaned up) take care of removing them.
This patch introduces both a command-line and config option
to disable the `--honor-pack-keep` option. By default, it
is triggered when pack.writeBitmaps (or `--write-bitmap-index`
is turned on), but specifying it explicitly can override the
behavior (e.g., in cases where you prefer .keep files to
bitmaps, but only when they are present).
Note that this option just disables the pack-objects
behavior. We still leave packs with a .keep in place, as we
do not necessarily know that we have duplicated all of their
objects.

Some versions of touch (such as /usr/ucb/touch on Solaris)
do not know about the "-r" option. This would make sense as
a feature of test-chmtime, but fortunately this fix is even
easier.
The test does not care about the timestamp of the .keep file it
creates at all, only that it exists. For such a use case, with or
without portability issues around "-r", "touch" should not be used
in the first place.

Two more tests that sleep only to waste tick can be converted to use
test_tick and take expiry parameters relative to $test_tick. The basic
idea is to replace "sleep 1" with "test_tick" to cause the "time" to pass.
These tests are interested in expiring things with "now" as the timestamp,
soo use a timestamp relative to $test_tick to give them more stability and
reproducibility.

When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.
So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.
As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

If pack-objects is called with the --unpack-unreachable option then it
will unpack (i.e. loosen) all unreferenced objects from local not-kept
packs, including those that also exist in packs residing in an alternate
object database or a locally kept pack. The only user of this option is
git-repack.
In this case, repack will follow the call to pack-objects with a call to
prune-packed, which will delete these newly loosened objects, making the
act of loosening a waste of time. The unnecessary loosening can be
avoided by checking whether an object exists in a non-local pack or a
locally kept pack before loosening it.
This fixes the 'local packed unreachable obs that exist in alternate ODB
are not loosened' test in t7700.

These two features were invented for use by repack when repack will delete
the local packs that have been made redundant. The packs accessible
through alternates are not deleted by repack, so the objects contained in
them are still accessible after the local packs are deleted. They do not
need to be repacked into the new pack or loosened. For the case of
loosening they would immediately be deleted by the subsequent prune-packed
that is called by repack anyway.
This fixes the test
'packed unreachable obs in alternate ODB are not loosened' in t7700.

The --kept-pack-only option to pack-objects treats all kept packs as equal.
This results in objects that reside in an alternate pack that has a .keep
file, not being packed into a newly created pack when the user specifies the
-a option to repack. Since the user may not have any control over the
alternate database, git should not refrain from repacking those objects
even though they are in a pack with a .keep file.
This fixes the 'packed obs in alternate ODB kept pack are repacked' test in

1) The new --kept-pack-only mechansim of rev-list/pack-objects has
replaced --unpacked=. This new mechansim does not operate solely on
"local" packs now. The result is that objects residing in an alternate
pack which has a .keep file will not be repacked with repack -a.
This flaw is only apparent when a commit object is the one residing in
an alternate kept pack.
2) The 'repack unpacked objects' and 'loosen unpacked objects' mechanisms
of pack-objects, i.e. --keep-unreachable and --unpack-unreachable,
now do not operate solely on local packs. The --keep-unreachable
option no longer has any callers, but --unpack-unreachable is used when
repack is called with '-A -d' and the local repo has existing packs.
In this case, objects residing in alternate, not-kept packs will be
loosened, and then immediately deleted by repack's call to
prune-packed.
The test must manually call pack-objects to avoid the call to
prune-packed that is made by repack when -d is used.

The ability to "...fatten [the] local repository by packing everything that
is needed by the local ref into a single new pack, including things that are
borrowed from alternates"[1] is supposed to be provided by the '-a' or '-A'
options to repack when '-l' is not used, but there is a flaw. For each
pack in the local repository without a .keep file, repack supplies a
--unpacked=<pack> argument to pack-objects.
The --unpacked option to pack-objects, with or without an argument, causes
pack-objects to ignore any object which is packed in a pack not mentioned
in an argument to --unpacked=. So, if there are local packs, and
'repack -a' is called, then any objects which reside in packs accessible
through alternates will _not_ be packed. If there are no local packs, then
no --unpacked argument will be supplied, and repack will behave as expected.

Previously, when 'repack -a' was called and there were no packs in the local
repository without a .keep file, the repack would fall back to calling
pack-objects with '--unpacked --incremental'. This resulted in the created

store. Test that this specific case has been fixed.
