Sergey Vlasov, Andy Parkins and Alex Riesen all pointed out that it
is possible for a single invocation of receive-pack to be given more
refs than the OS might allow us to pass as command line parameters
to a single hook invocation.
We don't want to break these up into multiple invocations (like
xargs might do) as that makes it impossible for the pre-receive
hook to verify multiple related ref updates occur at the same time,
and it makes it harder for post-receive to send out a single batch
notification.
Instead we pass the reference data on a pipe connected to the
hook's stdin, supplying one ref per line to the hook. This way a
single hook invocation can obtain an infinite amount of ref data,
without bumping into any operating system limits.

Since we have decided to change the calling conventions for the
pre-receive and post-receive hooks to take the ref data on stdin
rather than on the command line we cannot use the same logic to
invoke the update hook anymore.
So we take a small step backwards towards what we used to have,
and create a specialized function for executing just the update
hook.

Sometimes callers trying to use run_command to execute a child
process will want to setup a pipe or file descriptor to redirect
into the child's stdin.
This idea is completely stolen from builtin-bundle's fork_with_pipe,

If the calling process wants to send data to stdin of a
child process it will need to arrange for a pipe and get
the child process running, feed data to it, then wait
for the child process to finish. So we split the run
function into two halves, allowing callers to first
start the child then later finish it.

There are a number of places where we do some variation of
fork()+exec() but we also need to setup redirection in the process,
much like what run_command does for us already with its option flags.
It would be nice to reuse more of the run_command logic, especially
as that non-fork API helps us to port to odd platforms like Win32.

When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that
are linked together in the reverse order of discovery.
Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which
are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to
contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the
list of packs before starting to access them. In addition,
favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can
be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems.

In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:
git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic
This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.
This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.
If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

Asciidoc appears to interpret a backslash at the end of a line as
escaping the end-of-line character, which screws up the display of

The obvious fix (replacing "\" by "\\") doesn't work. The only

Asciidoc claims that should be equivalent to a literal paragraph, so I
don't understand why the difference--perhaps it's an asciidoc bug.

The script sort_glossary.pl turns each use of "term" into a link to the
definition of "term". To avoid mangling links like
gitlink:git-term[1]
it doesn't replace any occurence of "term" preceded by "link:git-".
This fails for gitlink:git-symbolic-ref[1] when substituting for "ref".
So instead just refuse to replace anything preceded by a "-".
That could result in missing some opportunities, but that's a less
annoying error.
Actually I find the automatic substitution a little distracting; some
day maybe we should just run it once and commit the result, so it can
be hand-tuned.

Allow fast-import frontends to reload the marks table
Use atomic updates to the fast-import mark file
Preallocate memory earlier in fast-import
Thin packs are way smaller, but they rely on the receiving end to have the
base objects. However, Git's pack protocol also uses thin packs by
default. So make the packs contained in bundles thin, since bundles are
just another transport.
The patch looks a bit bigger than intended, mainly because --thin
_implies_ that pack-objects should run its own rev-list. Therefore, this
patch removes all the stuff we used to roll rev-list ourselves.
This commit also changes behaviour slightly: since we now know early
enough if a specified ref is _not_ contained in the pack, we can avoid
putting that ref into the pack. So, we don't die() here, but warn()
instead, and skip that ref.

Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
When we allow fast-import frontends to reload a mark file from a
prior session we want to let them use the same file as they exported
the marks to. This makes it very simple for the frontend to save
state across incremental imports.
But we don't want to lose the old marks table if anything goes wrong
while writing our current marks table. So instead of truncating and
overwriting the path specified to --export-marks we use the standard
lockfile code to write the current marks out to a temporary file,
then rename it over the old marks table.

Bill Lear pointed out that it is easy to send out notifications of
changes with the update hook, but successful execution of the update
hook does not necessarily mean that the ref was actually updated.
Lock contention on the ref or being unable to append to the reflog
may prevent the ref from being changed. Sending out notifications
prior to the ref actually changing is very misleading.
To help this situation I am introducing two new hooks to the
receive-pack flow: pre-receive and post-receive. These new hooks
are invoked only once per receive-pack execution and are passed
three arguments per ref (refname, old-sha1, new-sha1).
The new post-receive hook is ideal for sending out notifications,
as it has the complete list of all refnames that were successfully
updated as well as the old and new SHA-1 values. This allows more
interesting notifications to be sent. Multiple ref updates could
be easily summarized into one email, for example.
The new pre-receive hook is ideal for logging update attempts, as it
is run only once for the entire receive-pack operation. It can also
be used to verify multiple updates happen at once, e.g. an update
to the `maint` head must also be accompained by a new annotated tag.
Lots of documentation improvements for receive-pack are included
in this change, as we want to make sure the new hooks are clearly
explained.

I discovered we did not send an ng line in the report-status feedback
if the ref was not updated because the repository has the config
option receive.denyNonFastForwards enabled. I think the reason this
happened is that it is simply too easy to forget to set error_string
when returning back a failure from update()
We now return an ng line for a non-fastforward update, which in
turn will cause send-pack to exit with a non-zero exit status.
Hence the modified test.
This refactoring changes update to return a const char* describing
the error, which execute_commands always loads into error_string.
The result is what I think is cleaner code, and allows us to
initialize the error_string member to NULL when we read_head_info.
I want error_string to be NULL in all commands before we call
execute_commands, so that we can reuse the run_hook function to
execute a new pre-receive hook.
