Prior to d38379e (make update-server-info more robust, 2014-09-13),
we used a straight "fopen" to create the info/refs and
objects/info/packs files, which creates the file using mode 0666
(less the default umask).
In d38379e, we switched to creating the file with mkstemp to get a
unique filename. But mkstemp also uses the more restrictive 0600
mode to create the file. This was an unintended side effect that we
did not want, and causes problems when the repository is served by a
different user than the one running update-server-info (it is not
readable by a dumb http server running as `www`, for example).
We can fix this by using git_mkstemp_mode and specifying 0666 to
make sure that the umask is honored.
Note that we could also say "just use core.sharedrepository", as we
do call adjust_shared_perm on the result before renaming it into
place. But that should not be necessary as long as everybody
involved is using permissive umask to allow HTTP server to read
necessary files.

We allocate pack information in a static global list but
never clean it up. This leaks memory, and means that calling
update_server_info twice will generate a buggy file (it will
have duplicate entries).

Since "git update-server-info" may be called automatically
as part of a push or a "gc --auto", we should be robust
against two processes trying to update it simultaneously.
However, we currently use a fixed tempfile, which means that
two simultaneous writers may step on each other's toes and
end up renaming junk into place.
Let's instead switch to using a unique tempfile via mkstemp.
We do not want to use a lockfile here, because it's OK for
two writers to simultaneously update (one will "win" the
rename race, but that's OK; they should be writing the same
information).
While we're there, let's clean up a few other things:
1. Detect write errors. Report them and abort the update
if any are found.
2. Free path memory rather than leaking it (and clean up
the tempfile when necessary).
3. Use the pathdup functions consistently rather than
static buffers or manually calculated lengths.
This last one fixes a potential overflow of "infofile" in
update_info_packs (e.g., by putting large junk into
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY). However, this overflow was probably
not an interesting attack vector for two reasons:
a. The attacker would need to control the environment to
do this, in which case it was already game-over.
b. During its setup phase, git checks that the directory
actually exists, which means it is probably shorter
than PATH_MAX anyway.
Because both update_info_refs and update_info_packs share
these same failings (and largely duplicate each other), this
patch factors out the improved error-checking version into a
helper function.

I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
called from such a function
- 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)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

For compatibility reasons, "git init --shared=all" does not write
"all" into the config, but a number. In the shared setup, you
really have to support even older clients on the _same_ repository.
But git_config_perm() did not pick up on it.
Also, "git update-server-info" failed to pick up on the shared

This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions. It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.
The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type
int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)
and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.
The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and
builtin-pack-refs.c as an example.

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.
Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead
of linked list. This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use
object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git
repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of
7 MB before the change. Object refs are still the biggest consumer of
memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a
linked list is substantially smaller.

The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.
In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.
