dae556bdb1 environment: add global variable to disable replacement
This new "read_replace_refs" global variable is set to 1 by
default, so that replace refs are used by default. But
reachability traversal and packing commands ("cmd_fsck",
"cmd_prune", "cmd_pack_objects", "upload_pack",
"cmd_unpack_objects") set it to 0, as they must work with the
original DAG.

cf2ab916af show_object(): push path_name() call further down
In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow

 - more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
   the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
   calling path_name())

 - not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
   name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
   linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.

Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.

Why? We use that name for two things:
 - add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
   path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
 - for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
   name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
   work.

Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.

This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

8d2dfc49b1 process_{tree,blob}: show objects without buffering
Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.

I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.

Now, there are possible downsides to this:

 - the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
   better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
   one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..

 - this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
   "process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
   over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
   list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
   then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
   object together with the objects we discover under it)

   I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
   ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
   efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
   packing. Good or bad, I dunno.

 - There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
   array, that I have simply forgotten.

Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.

This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...

Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.

Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

11c211fa06 list-objects: add "void *data" parameter to show functions
The goal of this patch is to get rid of the "static struct rev_info
revs" static variable in "builtin-rev-list.c".

To do that, we need to pass the revs to the "show_commit" function
in "builtin-rev-list.c" and this in turn means that the
"traverse_commit_list" function in "list-objects.c" must be passed
functions pointers to functions with 2 parameters instead of one.

So we have to change all the callers and all the functions passed
to "traverse_commit_list".

Anyway this makes the code more clean and more generic, so it
should be a good thing in the long run.

particular directory that was not actually a git repository,

of the connection (fetch-pack) to request that the server side of the
native git protocol (upload-pack / pack-objects) use --include-tag

4c324c0050 upload-pack: Use finish_{command,async}() instead of waitpid().
upload-pack spawns two processes, rev-list and pack-objects, and carefully
monitors their status so that it can report failure to the remote end.
This change removes the complicated procedures on the grounds of the
following observations:

- If everything is OK, rev-list closes its output pipe end, upon which
  pack-objects (which reads from the pipe) sees EOF and terminates itself,
  closing its output (and error) pipes. upload-pack reads from both until
  it sees EOF in both. It collects the exit codes of the child processes
  (which indicate success) and terminates successfully.

- If rev-list sees an error, it closes its output and terminates with
  failure. pack-objects sees EOF in its input and terminates successfully.
  Again upload-pack reads its inputs until EOF. When it now collects
  the exit codes of its child processes, it notices the failure of rev-list
  and signals failure to the remote end.

- If pack-objects sees an error, it terminates with failure. Since this
  breaks the pipe to rev-list, rev-list is killed with SIGPIPE.
  upload-pack reads its input until EOF, then collects the exit codes of
  the child processes, notices their failures, and signals failure to the
  remote end.

- If upload-pack itself dies unexpectedly, pack-objects is killed with
  SIGPIPE, and subsequently also rev-list.

The upshot of this is that precise monitoring of child processes is not
required because both terminate if either one of them dies unexpectedly.
This allows us to use finish_command() and finish_async() instead of
an explicit waitpid(2) call.

The change is smaller than it looks because most of it only reduces the
indentation of a large part of the inner loop.

b0e908977e Fixup no-progress for fetch & clone
The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).

However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".

This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.

A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

By specifying a depth, you can now clone a repository such that
all fetched ancestor-chains' length is at most "depth". For example,
if the upstream repository has only 2 branches ("A" and "B"), which
are linear, and you specify depth 3, you will get A, A~1, A~2, A~3,
B, B~1, B~2, and B~3. The ends are automatically made shallow
commits.

ed09aef06f support fetching into a shallow repository
A shallow commit is a commit which has parents, which in turn are
"grafted away", i.e. the commit appears as if it were a root.

Since these shallow commits should not be edited by the user, but
only by core git, they are recorded in the file $GIT_DIR/shallow.

A repository containing shallow commits is called shallow.

The advantage of a shallow repository is that even if the upstream
contains lots of history, your local (shallow) repository needs not
occupy much disk space.

The disadvantage is that you might miss a merge base when pulling
some remote branch.

The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type

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

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them

of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.

A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*.  This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

b1c71b7281 upload-pack: avoid sending an incomplete pack upon failure
When the repository on the remote side is corrupted, rev-list
spawned from upload-pack would die with error, but pack-objects
that reads from the rev-list happily created a packfile that can
be unpacked by the downloader.  When this happens, the resulting
packfile is not corrupted and unpacks cleanly, but the list of
the objects contained in it is not what the protocol exchange
computed.

This update makes upload-pack to monitor its subprocesses, and
when either of them dies with error, sends an incomplete pack
data to the downloader to cause it to fail.

885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
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.

77cb17e940 Exec git programs without using PATH.
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.

1bd8c8f00b git-upload-pack: Support the multi_ack protocol
This implements three things (trying very hard to be backwards
compatible):

It sends the "multi_ack" capability via the mechanism proposed by
Sergey Vlasov.

When the client sends "multi_ack" with at least one "want", multi_ack
is enabled.

When multi_ack is enabled, "continue" is appended to each "ACK" until
either the server can not store more refs, or "done" is received.

In contrast to the original protocol, as long as "continue" is sent,
flushes are answered by a "NAK" (not just until an "ACK" was sent),
and if "continue" was sent at least once, the last message is an
"ACK" without "continue".

0f8fdc3958 git-upload-pack: Support sending multiple ACK messages
The current fetch/upload protocol works like this:

- client sends revs it wants to have via "want" messages
- client sends a flush message (message with len 0)
- client sends revs it has via "have" messages
- after one window (32 revs), a flush is sent
- after each subsequent window, a flush is sent, and an ACK/NAK is received.
        (NAK means that server does not have any of the transmitted revs;
         ACK sends also the sha1 of the rev server has)
 - when the first ACK is received, client sends "done", and does not expect
        any further messages

One special case, though:

- if no ACK is received (only NAK's), and client runs out of revs to send,
        "done" is sent, and server sends just one more "NAK"

A smarter scheme, which actually has a chance to detect more than one
common rev, would be to send more than just one ACK. This patch implements
the server side of the following extension to the protocol:

- client sends at least one "want" message with "multi_ack" appended, like

        "want 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 multi_ack"

- if the server understands that extension, it will send ACK messages for all
        revs it has, not just the first one

- server appends "continue" to the ACK messages like

        "ACK 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 continue"

        until it has MAX_HAS-1 revs. In this manner, client knows when to
        stop sending revs by checking for the substring "continue" (and
        further knows that server understands multi_ack)

In this manner, the protocol stays backwards compatible, since both client
must send "want ... multi_ack" and server must answer with "ACK ...
continue" to enable the extension.

but in the meantime, increase it to help upload-pack to find more common
commits, as discussed on the list.

960deccb26 git-daemon: timeout, eliminate double DWIM
It turns out that not only did git-daemon do DWIM, but git-upload-pack
does as well.  This is bad; security checks have to be performed *after*
canonicalization, not before.

Additionally, the current git-daemon can be trivially DoSed by spewing
SYNs at the target port.

This patch adds a --strict option to git-upload-pack to disable all
DWIM, a --timeout option to git-daemon and git-upload-pack, and an
--init-timeout option to git-daemon (which is typically set to a much
lower value, since the initial request should come immediately from the
client.)

f6b42a81fd Show peeled onion from upload-pack and server-info.
This updates git-ls-remote to show SHA1 names of objects that are
referred by tags, in the "ref^{}" notation.

This would make git-findtags (without -t flag) almost trivial.

    git-peek-remote . |
    sed -ne "s:^$target	"'refs/tags/\(.*\)^{}$:\1:p'

Also Pasky could do:

    git-ls-remote --tags $remote |
    sed -ne 's:\(	refs/tags/.*\)^{}$:\1:p'

to find out what object each of the remote tags refers to, and
if he has one locally, run "git-fetch $remote tag $tagname" to
automatically catch up with the upstream tags.

e091eb9325 upload-pack: Do not choke on too many heads request.
Cloning from a repository with more than 256 refs (heads and tags
included) will choke, because upload-pack has a built-in limit of
feeding not more than MAX_NEEDS (currently 256) heads to underlying
git-rev-list.  This is a problem when cloning a repository with many
tags, like http://www.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux.git, which has 290+
tags.

This commit introduces a new flag, --all, to git-rev-list, to include
all refs in the repository.  Updated upload-pack detects requests that
ask more than MAX_NEEDS refs, and sends everything back instead.

We may probably want to tweak the definitions of MAX_NEEDS and
MAX_HAS, but that is a separate topic.

e72a7d45dc Replace unsetenv() and setenv() with older putenv().
Solaris 8 doesn't have the newer unsetenv() and setenv()
functions, so replace them with putenv().  The one use of
unsetenv() in fsck-cache.c now sets GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_
DIRECTORIES to the empty string.  Every place that var
is used, NULLs are also replaced with empty strings, so
it's ok.

Do the default "try xyz.git xyz fails" thing for the directory we get

319aae2756 Increase the number of possible heads requested from git-upload-pack
Now that git-clone-pack exists, we actually have somebody requesting
more than just a single head in a pack.  So allow the Jeff's of this
world to clone things with tens of heads.

723c31fea2 Add "git_path()" and "head_ref()" helper functions.
"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory
using a printf-like format specifier.

"head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.

75bfc6c232 Make git-fetch-pack actually do all the unpacking etc.
It returns the result SHA1 on stdout, so you can do

	remote=$(git-fetch-pack host:dir branchname)

and it will unpack the objects and "remote" will be the SHA1 name of the
branch on the other side.  You can then save that off, or merge it, or
whatever.

def88e9afb Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack"
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.

It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common
commit point.
