The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.
The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.
For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.
For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository. For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.
Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations. When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.
>From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>:
update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities
o Pushing packed refs is now fixed.
o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add
a test for that.
o The transport helper will notice if refs are already
up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the
unpacked-refs test.
o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically.
o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

If all refs sent by the remote repo during a fetch are reachable
locally, then no further conversation is performed with the remote. This
check is skipped when the --depth argument is provided to allow the
deepening of a shallow clone which corresponding remote repo has no
changed.
However, some additional filtering was added in commit c29727d5 to
remove those refs which are equal on both sides. If the remote repo has
not changed, then the list of refs to give the remote process becomes
empty and simply attempting to deepen a shallow repo always fails.
Let's stop being smart in that case and simply send the whole list over
when that condition is met. The remote will do the right thing anyways.
Test cases for this issue are also provided.

Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()

In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).
With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.
If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:
$ git upload-pack . | :
fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'
In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.
With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:
$ git upload-pack . | :
error: git-upload-pack died of signal
Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)
There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)

Relaxing the URLs to allow

"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own
refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object
store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these
extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of
objects that need to be transfered can be cut down.
These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the
actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored
by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid
looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when
running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what
refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the
refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git
push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the
refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is
not what we want.
This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to
accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have"
entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion
rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack
generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.
