When a remote helper crashes while pushing we should revert back to the
state before the push, however, it's possible that `git fast-export`
already finished its job, and therefore has exported the marks already.
This creates a synchronization problem because from that moment on
`git fast-{import,export}` will have marks that the remote helper is not
aware of and all further commands fail (if those marks are referenced).
The fix is to tell `git fast-export` to export to a temporary file, and
only after the remote helper has finishes successfully, move to the
final destination.

Updates transport-helper, fast-import and fast-export to allow the
ref mapping and ref deletion in a way similar to the natively
supported transports.
* fc/transport-helper-fixes:
remote-bzr: support the new 'force' option
test-hg.sh: tests are now expected to pass
transport-helper.c: do not overwrite forced bit
transport-helper: check for 'forced update' message
transport-helper: add 'force' to 'export' helpers
transport-helper: don't update refs in dry-run
transport-helper: mismerge fix
If the the transport helper says it was a forced update, then it is
a forced update. It is however possible that an update is forced
without the transport-helper knowing about it, namely because some
higher up code had objections to the update and needed forcing in
order to let it through to the transport helper. In other words, it
does not necessarily mean the update was *not* forced, when the
helper did not say "forced update".

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

Since 664059fb (transport-helper: update remote helper namespace,

be desirable to disable this update to force the next 'pull' to
re-import the pushed revisions.

Use the function attributes extension to catch mistakes in use of
our own variadic functions that use NULL sentinel at the end
(i.e. like execl(3)) and format strings (i.e. like printf(3)).
* jk/gcc-function-attributes:
Add the LAST_ARG_MUST_BE_NULL macro
wt-status: use "format" function attribute for status_printf
use "sentinel" function attribute for variadic lists
add missing "format" function attributes
For most of our functions that take printf-like formats, we
use gcc's __attribute__((format)) to get compiler warnings
when the functions are misused. Let's give a few more
functions the same protection.
In most cases, the annotations do not uncover any actual
bugs; the only code change needed is that we passed a size_t
to transfer_debug, which expected an int. Since we expect
the passed-in value to be a relatively small buffer size
(and cast a similar value to int directly below), we can
just cast away the problem.

Prior to commit 81d340d4, we did not print any error message
if a remote transport helper died unexpectedly. If a helper
did not print any error message (e.g., because it crashed),
the user could be left confused. That commit tried to
rectify the situation by printing a note that the helper
exited unexpectedly.
However, this makes a much more common case worse: when a
helper does die with a useful message, we print the extra
"Reading from 'git-remote-foo failed" message. This can also
end up confusing users, as they may not even know what
remote helpers are (e.g., the fact that http support comes
through git-remote-https is purely an implementation detail
that most users do not know or care about).
Since we do not have a good way of knowing whether the
helper printed a useful error, and since the common failure
mode is for it to do so, let's default to remaining quiet.
Debuggers can dig further by setting GIT_TRANSPORT_HELPER_DEBUG.

When pushing, the remote namespace is updated correctly

updated while fetching.
Since the remote namespace is used to tell fast-export which commits
to avoid (because they were already imported/exported), it makes
sense to have them in sync so they don't get generated twice. If the
remote helper was implemented properly, they would be ignored, if
not, they probably would end up repeated.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Currently, attempting to push a signed tag to a remote helper which uses
fast-export results in the remote helper failing because the default
fast-export action for signed tags is "abort". This is not helpful for
users because there is no way to pass additional arguments to
fast-export here, either from the remote helper or from the command
line.
In general, the signature will be invalidated by whatever transformation
a remote helper performs on a tag to push it to a repository in a
different format so the correct behaviour is to strip the tag. Doing
this silently may surprise people, so use "warn-strip" to issue a
warning when a signed tag is encountered.

If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.
In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.
While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test). We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to
branches which are expected to move with commits. Tag references are
expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to
