Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
for-each-ref: Allow a trailing slash in the patterns
It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file
descriptors 0/1/2 closed. Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command
does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0:
dup2(from, 0);
close(from);
... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that
dup2(0, 0);
close(0);
just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem
would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is
corrupted by a call to die().
Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works
around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low"
descriptors to /dev/null in main.

This reverts commit daa0cc9a92.
It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell,
it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual
name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.
This trivially makes "git-shell" a built-in. It makes the executable even
fatter, though.
And MinGW removed git-shell only because of the funny dependencies; there
is no reason to do so anymore.

We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was
passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for
example via:
main
commit_pager_choice
setup_pager
git_config
git_etc_gitconfig
system_path
Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as
possible.

A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality
were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times.
This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by:
1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell;
2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the
later self sufficient;
3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file.
The following numbers have been received with the default optimization
settings on master using GCC 4.1.2:

This adds cvs support to the git-shell; You can now give new users
a restricted git-shell and they still can commit via git's cvs
emulator.
Note that either the gecos information must be accurate, or you must
provide a $HOME/.gitconfig with the appropriate user credentials.
Since the git-shell is too restricted to allow the user to do it
(on purpose!), it is up to the administrator to take care of that.
Based on an idea by Jan Wielemaker.

This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when
the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified
easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including
idiotic conversions like
if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3))
=>
if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo")))
This was done by using this script in px.perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p
if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|;
}
if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) {
s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|;
}
and running:
$ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
