70d5e2d77b check_connected: add progress flag
Connectivity checks have to traverse the entire object graph
in the worst case (e.g., a full clone or a full push). For
large repositories like linux.git, this can take 30-60
seconds, during which time git may produce little or no
output.

Let's add the option of showing progress, which is taken
care of by rev-list.

e0331849a0 check_connected: relay errors to alternate descriptor
Unless the "quiet" flag is given, check_connected sends any
errors to the stderr of the caller (because the child
rev-list inherits that descriptor). However, server-side
callers may want to send these over a sideband channel
instead.  Let's make that possible.

7043c7071c check_everything_connected: use a struct with named options
The number of variants of check_everything_connected has
grown over the years, so that the "real" function takes
several possibly-zero, possibly-NULL arguments. We hid the
complexity behind some wrapper functions, but this doesn't
scale well when we want to add new options.

If we add more wrapper variants to handle the new options,
then we can get a combinatorial explosion when those options
might be used together (right now nobody wants to use both
"shallow" and "transport" together, so we get by with just a
few wrappers).

If instead we add new parameters to each function, each of
which can have a default value, then callers who want the
defaults end up with confusing invocations like:

  check_everything_connected(fn, 0, data, -1, 0, NULL);

where it is unclear which parameter is which (and every
caller needs updated when we add new options).

Instead, let's add a struct to hold all of the optional
parameters. This is a little more verbose for the callers
(who have to declare the struct and fill it in), but it
makes their code much easier to follow, because every option
is named as it is set (and unused options do not have to be
mentioned at all).

Note that we could also stick the iteration function and its
callback data into the option struct, too. But since those
are required for each call, by avoiding doing so, we can let
very simple callers just pass "NULL" for the options and not
worry about the struct at all.

While we're touching each site, let's also rename the
function to check_connected(). The existing name was quite
long, and not all of the wrappers even used the full name.

434ea3cdad rev-list: add optional progress reporting
It's easy to ask rev-list to do a traversal that may takes
many seconds (e.g., by calling "--objects --all"). In theory
you can monitor its progress by the output you get to
stdout, but this isn't always easy.

Some operations, like "--count", don't make any output until
the end.

And some callers, like check_everything_connected(), are
using it just for the error-checking of the traversal, and
throw away stdout entirely.

This patch adds a "--progress" option which can be used to
give some eye-candy for a user waiting for a long traversal.
This is just a rev-list option and not a regular traversal
option, because it needs cooperation from the callbacks in
builtin/rev-list.c to do the actual count.

f26eef302f check_everything_connected: always pass --quiet to rev-list
The check_everything_connected function takes a "quiet"
parameter which does two things if non-zero:

  1. redirect rev-list's stderr to /dev/null to avoid
     showing errors to the user

  2. pass "--quiet" to rev-list

Item (1) is obviously useful. But item (2) is
surprisingly not. For rev-list, "--quiet" does not have
anything to do with chattiness on stderr; it tells rev-list
not to bother writing the list of traversed objects to
stdout, for efficiency.  And since we always redirect
rev-list's stdout to /dev/null in this function, there is no
point in asking it to ever write anything to stdout.

The efficiency gains are modest; a best-of-five run of "git
rev-list --objects --all" on linux.git dropped from 32.013s
to 30.502s when adding "--quiet". That's only about 5%, but
given how easy it is, it's worth doing.

da470981de fetch-pack: grow stateless RPC windows exponentially
When updating large repositories, the LARGE_FLUSH limit (that is, the
limit at which the window growth strategy switches from exponential to
linear) is reached quite quickly. Use a conservative exponential growth
strategy when that limit is reached instead (and increase LARGE_FLUSH so
that there is no regression in window size).

This optimization is only applied during stateless RPCs to avoid the
issue raised and fixed in commit 44d8dc54 (Fix potential local
deadlock during fetch-pack, 2011-03-29).

90cf590f53 fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken links
When reporting broken links between commits/trees/blobs, it would be
quite helpful at times if the user would be told how the object is
supposed to be reachable.

With the new --name-objects option, git-fsck will try to do exactly
that: name the objects in a way that shows how they are reachable.

For example, when some reflog got corrupted and a blob is missing that
should not be, the user might want to remove the corresponding reflog
entry. This option helps them find that entry: `git fsck` will now
report something like this:

	broken link from    tree b5eb6ff...  (refs/stash@{<date>}~37:)
	              to    blob ec5cf80...

3b75ee9327 blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index
When blaming files, changes in the work tree are taken into account
and displayed as being "Not Committed Yet".

However, when blaming a file that is not known to the current HEAD,
git blame fails with `no such path 'foo' in HEAD`, even when the file
was git add'ed.

Allowing such a blame is useful when the new file added to the index
(not yet committed) was created by renaming an existing file.  It
also is useful when the new file was created from pieces already in
HEAD, moved or copied from other files and blaming with copy
detection (i.e. "-C").

6d6a782fbf cache-tree: do not generate empty trees as a result of all i-t-a subentries
If a subdirectory contains nothing but i-t-a entries, we generate an
empty tree object and add it to its parent tree. Which is wrong. Such
a subdirectory should not be added.

Note that this has a cascading effect. If subdir 'a/b/c' contains
nothing but i-t-a entries, we ignore it. But then if 'a/b' contains
only (the non-existing) 'a/b/c', then we should ignore 'a/b' while
building 'a' too. And it goes all the way up to top directory.

c041d54a74 cache-tree.c: fix i-t-a entry skipping directory updates sometimes
Commit 3cf773e (cache-tree: fix writing cache-tree when CE_REMOVE is
present - 2012-12-16) skips i-t-a entries when building trees objects
from the index. Unfortunately it may skip too much.

The code in question checks if an entry is an i-t-a one, then no tree
entry will be written. But it does not take into account that
directories can also be written with the same code. Suppose we have
this in the index.

    a-file
    subdir/file1
    subdir/file2
    subdir/file3
    the-last-file

We write an entry for a-file as normal and move on to subdir/file1,
where we realize the entry name for this level is simply just
"subdir", write down an entry for "subdir" then jump three items ahead
to the-last-file.

That is what happens normally when the first file in subdir is not an
i-t-a entry. If subdir/file1 is an i-t-a, because of the broken
condition in this code, we still think "subdir" is an i-t-a file and
not writing "subdir" down and jump to the-last-file. The result tree
now only has two items: a-file and the-last-file. subdir should be
there too (even though it only records two sub-entries, file2 and
file3).

If the i-t-a entry is subdir/file2 or subdir/file3, this is not a
problem because we jump over them anyway. Which may explain why the
bug is hidden for nearly four years.

Fix it by making sure we only skip i-t-a entries when the entry in
question is actual an index entry, not a directory.

7b35efd734 fsck_walk(): optionally name objects on the go
If fsck_options->name_objects is initialized, and if it already has
name(s) for the object(s) that are to be the starting point(s) for
fsck_walk(), then that function will now add names for the objects
that were walked.

This will be highly useful for teaching git-fsck to identify root causes
for broken links, which is the task for the next patch in this series.

Note that this patch opts for decorating the objects with plain strings
instead of full-blown structs (à la `struct rev_name` in the code of
the `git name-rev` command), for several reasons:

- the code is much simpler than if it had to work with structs that
  describe arbitrarily long names such as "master~14^2~5:builtin/am.c",

- the string processing is actually quite light-weight compared to the
  rest of fsck's operation,

- the caller of fsck_walk() is expected to provide names for the
  starting points, and using plain and simple strings is just the
  easiest way to do that.

29493589e9 archive-tar: huge offset and future timestamps would not work on 32-bit
As we are not yet moving everything to size_t but still using ulong
internally when talking about the size of object, platforms with
32-bit long will not be able to produce tar archive with 4GB+ file,
and cannot grok 077777777777UL as a constant.  Disable the extended
header feature and do not test it on them.

6b9c38e14c t0006: skip "far in the future" test when unsigned long is not long enough
Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs.  On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".

While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

c714e45f87 receive-pack: implement advertising and receiving push options
The pre/post receive hook may be interested in more information from the
user. This information can be transmitted when both client and server
support the "push-options" capability, which when used is a phase directly
after update commands ended by a flush pkt.

Similar to the atomic option, the server capability can be disabled via
the `receive.advertisePushOptions` config variable. While documenting
this, fix a nit in the `receive.advertiseAtomic` wording.

77a9745d19 push options: {pre,post}-receive hook learns about push options
The environment variable GIT_PUSH_OPTION_COUNT is set to the number of
push options sent, and GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} is set to the transmitted
option.

The code is not executed as the push options are set to NULL, nor is the
new capability advertised.

There was some discussion back and forth how to present these push options
to the user as there are some ways to do it:

Keep all options in one environment variable
============================================
+ easiest way to implement in Git
- This would make things hard to parse correctly in the hook.

Put the options in files instead,
filenames are in GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES
======================================
+ After a discussion about environment variables and shells, we may not
  want to put user data into an environment variable (see [1] for example).
+ We could transmit binaries, i.e. we're not bound to C strings as
  we are when using environment variables to the user.
+ Maybe easier to parse than constructing environment variable names
  GIT_PUSH_OPTION_{0,1,..} yourself
- cleanup of the temporary files is hard to do reliably
- we have race conditions with multiple clients pushing, hence we'd need
  to use mkstemp. That's not too bad, but still.

Use environment variables, but restrict to key/value pairs
==========================================================
(When the user pushes a push option `foo=bar`, we'd
GIT_PUSH_OPTION_foo=bar)
+ very easy to parse for a simple model of push options
- it's not sufficient for more elaborate models, e.g.
  it doesn't allow doubles (e.g. cc=reviewer@email)

Present the options in different environment variables
======================================================
(This is implemented)
* harder to parse as a user, but we have a sample hook for that.
- doesn't allow binary files
+ allows the same option twice, i.e. is not restrictive about
  options, except for binary files.
+ doesn't clutter a remote directory with (possibly stale)
  temporary files

As we first want to focus on getting simple strings to work
reliably, we go with the last option for now. If we want to
do transmission of binaries later, we can just attach a
'side-channel', e.g. "any push option that contains a '\0' is
put into a file instead of the environment variable and we'd
have new GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILES, GIT_PUSH_OPTION_FILENAME_{0,1,..}
environment variables".
