Subsequently we assume that there is only one pack. Currently this is
true only by accident. Pass '-a -d' to repack in order to guarantee that
assumption to hold true.
The prune-packed command is now redundant since repack -d already calls
it.

When parsing a URL into a credential struct, we carefully
record each part of the URL, including the path on the
remote host, and use the result as part of the credential
context.
This had two practical implications:
1. Credential helpers which store a credential for later
access are likely to use the "path" portion as part of
the storage key. That means that a request to
https://example.com/foo.git
would not use the same credential that was stored in an
earlier request for:
https://example.com/bar.git
2. The prompt shown to the user includes all relevant
context, including the path.
In most cases, however, users will have a single password
per host. The behavior in (1) will be inconvenient, and the
prompt in (2) will be overly long.
This patch introduces a config option to toggle the
relevance of http paths. When turned on, we use the path as
before. When turned off, we drop the path component from the
context: helpers don't see it, and it does not appear in the
prompt.
This is nothing you couldn't do with a clever credential
helper at the start of your stack, like:
[credential "http://"]
helper = "!f() { grep -v ^path= ; }; f"
helper = your_real_helper
But doing this:
[credential]
useHttpPath = false
is way easier and more readable. Furthermore, since most
users will want the "off" behavior, that is the new default.
Users who want it "on" can set the variable (either for all
credentials, or just for a subset using
credential.*.useHttpPath).

Credential helpers can help users avoid having to type their
username and password over and over. However, some users may
not want a helper for their password, or they may be running
a helper which caches for a short time. In this case, it is
convenient to provide the non-secret username portion of
their credential via config.

The functionality for credential storage helpers is already
there; we just need to give the users a way to turn it on.
This patch provides a "credential.helper" configuration
variable which allows the user to provide one or more helper
strings.
Rather than simply matching credential.helper, we will also
compare URLs in subsection headings to the current context.
This means you can apply configuration to a subset of
credentials. For example:
[credential "https://example.com"]
helper = foo
would match a request for "https://example.com/foo.git", but
not one for "https://kernel.org/foo.git".
This is overkill for the "helper" variable, since users are
unlikely to want different helpers for different sites (and
since helpers run arbitrary code, they could do the matching
themselves anyway).
However, future patches will add new config variables where
this extra feature will be more useful.

This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.
Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside the credential struct)
or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles
URL parsing and prompting for us).
The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the
credential code will prompt with a description based on the
credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of:
Username for 'example.com':
Password for 'example.com':
now looks like:
Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git':
Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git':
Note that we include more information in each line,
specifically:
1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is
an important part of knowing what you are accessing
(especially if you care about http vs https).
2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is
not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it,
but the username may also come from the remote's URL
(and after future patches, from configuration or
credential helpers). In that case, it's a nice
reminder of the user for which you're giving the
password.
3. We include the path component of the URL. In many
cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply
noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a
whole site). However, that is part of a larger
question, which is whether path components should be
part of credential context, both for prompting and for
lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed
as a whole in a future patch.
Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say:
Certificate Password for 'example.com':
and we now say:
Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate':
Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense,
as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

Verify that a downloaded pack-*.idx file is consistent and valid
as an index file before we rename it into its final destination.
This prevents a corrupt index file from later being treated as a
usable file, confusing readers.
Check that we do not have the pack index file before invoking
fetch_pack_index(); that way, we can do without the has_pack_index()
check in fetch_pack_index().

To ensure we don't leave a corrupt pack file positioned as though
it were a valid pack file, run index-pack on the temporary pack
before we rename it to its final name. If index-pack crashes out
when it discovers file corruption (e.g. GitHub's error HTML at the
end of the file), simply delete the temporary files to cleanup.
By waiting until the pack has been validated before we move it
to its final name, we eliminate a race condition where another
concurrent reader might try to access the pack at the same time
that we are still trying to verify its not corrupt.
Switching from verify-pack to index-pack is a change in behavior,
but it should turn out better for users. The index-pack algorithm
tries to minimize disk seeks, as well as the number of times any
given object is inflated, by organizing its work along delta chains.
The verify-pack logic does not attempt to do this, thrashing the
delta base cache and the filesystem cache.
By recreating the index file locally, we also can automatically
upgrade from a v1 pack table of contents to v2. This makes the
CRC32 data available for use during later repacks, even if the
server didn't have them on hand.

The top level directory "/smart/" of the test Apache server is mapped
through our git-http-backend CGI, but uses the same underlying
repository space as the server's document root. This is the most
simple installation possible.
Server logs are checked to verify the client has accessed only the
smart URLs during the test. During fetch testing the headers are
also logged from libcurl to ensure we are making a reasonably sane
HTTP request, and getting back reasonably sane response headers
from the CGI.
When validating the request headers used during smart fetch we munge
away the actual Content-Length and replace it with the placeholder
"xxx". This avoids unnecessary varability in the test caused by
an unrelated change in the requested capabilities in the first want
line of the request. However, we still want to look for and verify
that Content-Length was used, because smaller payloads should be
using Content-Length and not "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
When validating the server response headers we must discard both
Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding, as Apache2 can use either
format to return our response.
During development of this test I observed Apache returning both
forms, depending on when the processes got CPU time. If our CGI
returned the pack data quickly, Apache just buffered the whole
thing and returned a Content-Length. If our CGI took just a bit
too long to complete, Apache flushed its buffer and instead used
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked".

is to compare HEAD's sha1 to the sha1 of all refs, trying to

This was mostly being tested implicitly by the "http push"
tests. But making a separate test script means that:
- we will run fetch tests even when http pushing support
is not built
- when there are failures on fetching, they are easier to
see and isolate, as they are not in the middle of push
tests
This script defaults to running the webserver on port 5550,
and puts the original t5540 on port 5540, so that the two
can be run simultaneously without conflict (but both still
respect an externally set LIB_HTTPD_PORT).
