3ebdef2e1b Merge branch 'jk/pack-delta-reuse-with-bitmap'
When creating a thin pack, which allows objects to be made into a
delta against another object that is not in the resulting pack but
is known to be present on the receiving end, the code learned to
take advantage of the reachability bitmap; this allows the server
to send a delta against a base beyond the "boundary" commit.

* jk/pack-delta-reuse-with-bitmap:
  pack-objects: reuse on-disk deltas for thin "have" objects
  pack-bitmap: save "have" bitmap from walk
  t/perf: add perf tests for fetches from a bitmapped server
  t/perf: add infrastructure for measuring sizes
  t/perf: factor out percent calculations
  t/perf: factor boilerplate out of test_perf

7e794d0a3f Merge branch 'nd/unpack-trees-with-cache-tree'
The unpack_trees() API used in checking out a branch and merging
walks one or more trees along with the index.  When the cache-tree
in the index tells us that we are walking a tree whose flattened
contents is known (i.e. matches a span in the index), as linearly
scanning a span in the index is much more efficient than having to
open tree objects recursively and listing their entries, the walk
can be optimized, which is done in this topic.

* nd/unpack-trees-with-cache-tree:
  Document update for nd/unpack-trees-with-cache-tree
  cache-tree: verify valid cache-tree in the test suite
  unpack-trees: add missing cache invalidation
  unpack-trees: reuse (still valid) cache-tree from src_index
  unpack-trees: reduce malloc in cache-tree walk
  unpack-trees: optimize walking same trees with cache-tree
  unpack-trees: add performance tracing

The earlier attempt barfed when given a CONTENT_LENGTH that is

f178c13fda Revert "Merge branch 'sb/submodule-core-worktree'"
This reverts commit 7e25437d35, reversing
changes made to 00624d608c.

v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~1 (submodule: ensure core.worktree is set after
update, 2018-06-18) assumes an "absorbed" submodule layout, where the
submodule's Git directory is in the superproject's .git/modules/
directory and .git in the submodule worktree is a .git file pointing
there.  In particular, it uses $GIT_DIR/modules/$name to find the
submodule to find out whether it already has core.worktree set, and it
uses connect_work_tree_and_git_dir if not, resulting in

	fatal: could not open sub/.git for writing

The context behind that patch: v2.19.0-rc0~165^2~2 (submodule: unset
core.worktree if no working tree is present, 2018-06-12) unsets
core.worktree when running commands like "git checkout
--recurse-submodules" to switch to a branch without the submodule.  If
a user then uses "git checkout --no-recurse-submodules" to switch back
to a branch with the submodule and runs "git submodule update", this
patch is needed to ensure that commands using the submodule directly
are aware of the path to the worktree.

It is late in the release cycle, so revert the whole 3-patch series.
We can try again later for 2.20.

574c513e8d http-backend: allow empty CONTENT_LENGTH
According to RFC3875, empty environment variable is equivalent to unset,
and for CONTENT_LENGTH it should mean zero body to read.

However, unset CONTENT_LENGTH is also used for chunked encoding to indicate
reading until EOF. At least, the test "large fetch-pack requests can be split
across POSTs" from t5551 starts faliing, if unset or empty CONTENT_LENGTH is
treated as zero length body. So keep the existing behavior as much as possible.

Add a test for the case.

6c6ce21baa config.mak.uname: resolve FreeBSD iconv-related compilation warning
OLD_ICONV has long been needed by FreeBSD so config.mak.uname defines
it unconditionally. However, recent versions do not need it, and its
presence results in compilation warnings. Resolve this issue by defining
OLD_ICONV only for older FreeBSD versions.

Specifically, revision r281550[1], which is part of FreeBSD 11, removed
the need for OLD_ICONV, and r282275[2] back-ported that change to 10.2.
Versions prior to 10.2 do need it.

091f4cf358 commit: don't use generation numbers if not needed
In 3afc679b "commit: use generations in paint_down_to_common()",
the queue in paint_down_to_common() was changed to use a priority
order based on generation number before commit date. This served
two purposes:

 1. When generation numbers are present, the walk guarantees
    correct topological relationships, regardless of clock skew in
    commit dates.

 2. It enables short-circuiting the walk when the min_generation
    parameter is added in d7c1ec3e "commit: add short-circuit to
    paint_down_to_common()". This short-circuit helps commands
    like 'git branch --contains' from needing to walk to a merge
    base when we know the result is false.

The commit message for 3afc679b includes the following sentence:

    This change does not affect the number of commits that are
    walked during the execution of paint_down_to_common(), only
    the order that those commits are inspected.

This statement is incorrect. Because it changes the order in which
the commits are inspected, it changes the order they are added to
the queue, and hence can change the number of loops before the
queue_has_nonstale() method returns true.

This change makes a concrete difference depending on the topology
of the commit graph. For instance, computing the merge-base between
consecutive versions of the Linux kernel has no effect for versions
after v4.9, but 'git merge-base v4.8 v4.9' presents a performance
regression:

    v2.18.0: 0.122s
v2.19.0-rc1: 0.547s
       HEAD: 0.127s

To determine that this was simply an ordering issue, I inserted
a counter within the while loop of paint_down_to_common() and
found that the loop runs 167,468 times in v2.18.0 and 635,579
times in v2.19.0-rc1.

The topology of this case can be described in a simplified way
here:

  v4.9
   |  \
   |   \
  v4.8  \
   | \   \
   |  \   |
  ...  A  B
   |  /  /
   | /  /
   |/__/
   C

Here, the "..." means "a very long line of commits". By generation
number, A and B have generation one more than C. However, A and B
have commit date higher than most of the commits reachable from
v4.8. When the walk reaches v4.8, we realize that it has PARENT1
and PARENT2 flags, so everything it can reach is marked as STALE,
including A. B has only the PARENT1 flag, so is not STALE.

When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_commit_date, A and B are removed from the queue
early and C is inserted into the queue. At this point, C and the
rest of the queue entries are marked as STALE. The loop then
terminates.

When paint_down_to_common() is run using
compare_commits_by_gen_then_commit_date, B is removed from the
queue only after the many commits reachable from v4.8 are explored.
This causes the loop to run longer. The reason for this regression
is simple: the queue order is intended to not explore a commit
until everything that _could_ reach that commit is explored. From
the information gathered by the original ordering, we have no
guarantee that there is not a commit D reachable from v4.8 that
can also reach B. We gained absolute correctness in exchange for
a performance regression.

The performance regression is probably the worse option, since
these incorrect results in paint_down_to_common() are rare. The
topology required for the performance regression are less rare,
but still require multiple merge commits where the parents differ
greatly in generation number. In our example above, the commit A
is as important as the commit B to demonstrate the problem, since
otherwise the commit C will sit in the queue as non-stale just as
long in both orders.

The solution provided uses the min_generation parameter to decide
if we should use generation numbers in our ordering. When
min_generation is equal to zero, it means that the caller has no
known cutoff for the walk, so we should rely on our commit-date
heuristic as before; this is the case with merge_bases_many().
When min_generation is non-zero, then the caller knows a valuable
cutoff for the short-circuit mechanism; this is the case with
remove_redundant() and in_merge_bases_many().

6aba117d5c am: avoid directory rename detection when calling recursive merge machinery
Let's say you have the following three trees, where Base is from one commit
behind either master or branch:

   Base  : bar_v1, foo/{file1, file2, file3}
   branch: bar_v2, foo/{file1, file2},       goo/file3
   master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3}

Using git-am (or am-based rebase) to apply the changes from branch onto
master results in the following tree:

   Result: bar_merged, goo/{file1, file2, file3}

This is not what users want; they did not rename foo/ -> goo/, they only
renamed one file within that directory.  The reason this happens is am
constructs fake trees (via build_fake_ancestor()) of the following form:

   Base_bfa  : bar_v1, foo/file3
   branch_bfa: bar_v2, goo/file3

Combining these two trees with master's tree:

   master: bar_v3, foo/{file1, file2, file3},

You can see that merge_recursive_generic() would see branch_bfa as renaming
foo/ -> goo/, and master as just adding both foo/file1 and foo/file2.  As
such, it ends up with goo/{file1, file2, file3}

The core problem is that am does not have access to the original trees; it
can only construct trees using the blobs involved in the patch.  As such,
it is not safe to perform directory rename detection within am -3.

e7588c9652 t3401: add another directory rename testcase for rebase and am
Similar to commit 16346883ab ("t3401: add directory rename testcases for
rebase and am", 2018-06-27), add another testcase for directory rename
detection.  This new testcase differs in that it showcases a situation
where no directory rename was performed, but which some backends
incorrectly detect.

As with the other testcase, run this in conjunction with each of the
types of rebases:
  git-rebase--interactive
  git-rebase--am
  git-rebase--merge
and also use the same testcase for
  git am --3way

96a7501aad Documentation/Makefile: make manpage-base-url.xsl generation quieter
The exact sed command to generate manpage-base-url.xsl appears in
the output, unlike the rules for other files that by default only
show summary.

Make the output for this rule similiar to all the other rules by
printing a short status message instead of the whole command.

b9b07efdb2 .gitattributes: add conflict-marker-size for relevant files
Some files in git.git contain lines that look like conflict markers,
either in examples or tests, or in the case of Documentation/gitk.txt
because of the asciidoc heading.

Having conflict markers the same length as the actual content can be
confusing for humans, and is impossible to handle for tools like 'git
rerere'.  Work around that by setting the 'conflict-marker-size'
attribute for those files to 32, which makes the conflict markers
unambiguous.

3042b6bb59 chainlint: match "quoted" here-doc tags
A here-doc tag can be quoted ('EOF'/"EOF") or escaped (\EOF) to suppress
interpolation within the body. chainlint recognizes single-quoted and
escaped tags, but does not know about double-quoted tags. For
completeness, teach it to recognize double-quoted tags, as well.
