When we call traverse_commit_list, we may have trees and
blobs in the pending array. As we process these, we pass the
"name" field from the pending entry as the path of the
object within the tree (which then becomes the root path if
we recurse into subtrees).
When we set up the traversal in prepare_revision_walk,
though, the "name" field of any pending trees and blobs is
likely to be the ref at which we found the object. We would
not want to make this part of the path (e.g., doing so would
make "git rev-list --objects v2.6.11-tree" in linux.git show
paths like "v2.6.11-tree/Makefile", which is nonsensical).
Therefore prepare_revision_walk sets the name field of each
pending tree and blobs to the empty string.
However, this leaves no room for a caller who does know the
correct path of a pending object to propagate that
information to the revision walker. We can fix this by
making two related changes:
1. Use the "path" field as the path instead of the "name"
field in traverse_commit_list. If the path is not set,
default to "" (which is what we always ended up with in
the current code, because of prepare_revision_walk).
2. In prepare_revision_walk, make a complete copy of the
entry. This makes the path field available to the
walker (if there is one), solving our problem.
Leaving the name field intact is now OK, as we do not
use it as a path due to point (1) above (and we can use
it to make more meaningful error messages if we want).
We also make the original "mode" field available to the
walker, though it does not actually use it.
Note that we still re-add the pending objects and free the
old ones (so we may strdup the path and name only to free
the old ones). This could be made more efficient by simply
copying the object_array entries that we are keeping.
However, that would require more restructuring of the code,
and is not done here.

When you resolve a sha1, you can optionally keep any context
found during the resolution, including the path and mode of
a tree entry (e.g., when looking up "HEAD:subdir/file.c").
The add_object_array_with_context function lets you then
attach that context to an entry in a list. Unfortunately,
the interface for doing so is horrible. The object_context
structure is large and most object_array users do not use
it. Therefore we keep a pointer to the structure to avoid
burdening other users too much. But that means when we do
use it that we must allocate the struct ourselves. And the
struct contains a fixed PATH_MAX-sized buffer, which makes
this wholly unsuitable for any large arrays.
We can observe that there is only a single user of the
"with_context" variant: builtin/grep.c. And in that use
case, the only element we care about is the path. We can
therefore store only the path as a pointer (the context's
mode field was redundant with the object_array_entry itself,
and nobody actually cared about the surrounding tree). This
still requires a strdup of the pathname, but at least we are
only consuming the minimum amount of memory for each string.
We can also handle the copying ourselves in
add_object_array_*, and free it as appropriate in
object_array_release_entry.

When we try to write a loose object file, we first check
whether that object already exists. If so, we skip the
write as an optimization. However, this can interfere with
prune's strategy of using mtimes to mark files in progress.
For example, if a branch contains a particular tree object
and is deleted, that tree object may become unreachable, and
have an old mtime. If a new operation then tries to write
the same tree, this ends up as a noop; we notice we
already have the object and do nothing. A prune running
simultaneously with this operation will see the object as
old, and may delete it.
We can solve this by "freshening" objects that we avoid
writing by updating their mtime. The algorithm for doing so
is essentially the same as that of has_sha1_file. Therefore
we provide a new (static) interface "check_and_freshen",
which finds and optionally freshens the object. It's trivial
to implement freshening and simple checking by tweaking a
single parameter.

A recent commit taught git-prune to keep non-recent objects
that are reachable from recent ones. However, pack-objects,
when loosening unreachable objects, tries to optimize out
the write in the case that the object will be immediately
pruned. It now gets this wrong, since its rule does not
reflect the new prune code (and this can be seen by running
t6501 with a strategically placed repack).
Let's teach pack-objects similar logic.

When we are loosening unreachable packed objects, we do not
bother to process objects that would simply be pruned
immediately anyway. The "would be pruned" check is a simple
comparison, but is about to get more complicated. Let's pull
it out into a separate function.
Note that this is slightly less efficient than the original,
which avoided even opening old packs, since no object in
them could pass the current check, which cares only about
the pack mtime. But the new rules will depend on the exact
object, so we need to perform the check even for old packs.
Note also that we fix a minor buglet when the pack mtime is
exactly the same as the expiration time. The prune code
considers that worth pruning, whereas our check here
considered it worth keeping. This wasn't a big deal. Besides
being unlikely to happen, the result was simply that the
object was loosened and then pruned, missing the
optimization. Still, we can easily fix it while we are here.

Our current strategy with prune is that an object falls into
one of three categories:
1. Reachable (from ref tips, reflogs, index, etc).
2. Not reachable, but recent (based on the --expire time).
3. Not reachable and not recent.
We keep objects from (1) and (2), but prune objects in (3).
The point of (2) is that these objects may be part of an
in-progress operation that has not yet updated any refs.
However, it is not always the case that objects for an
in-progress operation will have a recent mtime. For example,
the object database may have an old copy of a blob (from an
abandoned operation, a branch that was deleted, etc). If we
create a new tree that points to it, a simultaneous prune
will leave our tree, but delete the blob. Referencing that
tree with a commit will then work (we check that the tree is
in the object database, but not that all of its referred
objects are), as will mentioning the commit in a ref. But
the resulting repo is corrupt; we are missing the blob
reachable from a ref.
One way to solve this is to be more thorough when
referencing a sha1: make sure that not only do we have that
sha1, but that we have objects it refers to, and so forth
recursively. The problem is that this is very expensive.
Creating a parent link would require traversing the entire
object graph!
Instead, this patch pushes the extra work onto prune, which
runs less frequently (and has to look at the whole object
graph anyway). It creates a new category of objects: objects
which are not recent, but which are reachable from a recent
object. We do not prune these objects, just like the
reachable and recent ones.
This lets us avoid the recursive check above, because if we
have an object, even if it is unreachable, we should have
its referent. We can make a simple inductive argument that
with this patch, this property holds (that there are no
objects with missing referents in the repository):
0. When we have no objects, we have nothing to refer or be
referred to, so the property holds.
1. If we add objects to the repository, their direct
referents must generally exist (e.g., if you create a
tree, the blobs it references must exist; if you create
a commit to point at the tree, the tree must exist).
This is already the case before this patch. And it is
not 100% foolproof (you can make bogus objects using
`git hash-object`, for example), but it should be the
case for normal usage.
Therefore for any sequence of object additions, the
property will continue to hold.
2. If we remove objects from the repository, then we will
not remove a child object (like a blob) if an object
that refers to it is being kept. That is the part
implemented by this patch.
Note, however, that our reachability check and the
actual pruning are not atomic. So it _is_ still
possible to violate the property (e.g., an object
becomes referenced just as we are deleting it). This
patch is shooting for eliminating problems where the
mtimes of dependent objects differ by hours or days,
and one is dropped without the other. It does nothing
to help with short races.
Naively, the simplest way to implement this would be to add
all recent objects as tips to the reachability traversal.
However, this does not perform well. In a recently-packed
repository, all reachable objects will also be recent, and
therefore we have to look at each object twice. This patch
instead performs the reachability traversal, then follows up
with a second traversal for recent objects, skipping any
that have already been marked.

When we mark all reachable objects for pruning, that
includes blobs mentioned by the index. However, we do not
mark these with the SEEN flag, as we do for objects that we
find by traversing (we also do not add them to the pending
list, but that is because there is nothing further to
traverse with them).
This doesn't cause any problems with prune, because it
checks only that the object exists in the global object
hash, and not its flags. However, let's mark these objects
to be consistent and avoid any later surprises.

Prune has to walk $GIT_DIR/objects/?? in order to find the
set of loose objects to prune. Other parts of the code
(e.g., count-objects) want to do the same. Let's factor it
out into a reusable for_each-style function.
Note that this is not quite a straight code movement. The
original code had strange behavior when it found a file of
the form "[0-9a-f]{2}/.{38}" that did _not_ contain all hex
digits. It executed a "break" from the loop, meaning that we
stopped pruning in that directory (but still pruned other
directories!). This was probably a bug; we do not want to
process the file as an object, but we should keep going
otherwise (and that is how the new code handles it).
We are also a little more careful with loose object
directories which fail to open. The original code silently
ignored any failures, but the new code will complain about
any problems besides ENOENT.

When we enter prepare_revision_walk, we have zero or more
entries in our "pending" array. We disconnect that array
from the rev_info, and then process each entry:
1. If the entry is a commit and the --source option is in
effect, we keep a pointer to the object name.
2. Otherwise, we re-add the item to the pending list with
a blank name.
We then throw away the old array by freeing the array
itself, but do not touch the "name" field of each entry. For
any items of type (2), we leak the memory associated with
the name. This commit fixes that by calling object_array_clear,
which handles the cleanup for us.
That breaks (1), though, because it depends on the memory
pointed to by the name to last forever. We can solve that by
making a copy of the name. This is slightly less efficient,
but it shouldn't matter in practice, as we do it only for
the tip commits of the traversal.

Usually running a test under "-v" makes it clear which
command is failing. However, sometimes it can be useful to
also see a complete trace of the shell commands being run in
the test. You can do so without any support from the test
suite by running "sh -x tXXXX-foo.sh". However, this
produces quite a large bit of output, as we see a trace of
the entire test suite.
This patch instead introduces a "-x" option to the test
scripts (i.e., "./tXXXX-foo.sh -x"). When enabled, this
turns on "set -x" only for the tests themselves. This can
still be a bit verbose, but should keep things to a more
manageable level. You can even use "--verbose-only" to see
the trace only for a specific test.
The implementation is a little invasive. We turn on the "set
-x" inside the "eval" of the test code. This lets the eval
itself avoid being reported in the trace (which would be
long, and redundant with the verbose listing we already
showed). And then after the eval runs, we do some trickery
with stderr to avoid showing the "set +x" to the user.
We also show traces for test_cleanup functions (since they
can impact the test outcome, too). However, we do avoid
running the noop ":" cleanup (the default if the test does
not use test_cleanup at all), as it creates unnecessary
noise in the "set -x" output.
