The new configuration variable core.deltaBaseCacheLimit allows the
user to control how much memory they are willing to give to Git for
caching base objects of deltas. This is not normally meant to be
a user tweakable knob; the "out of the box" settings are meant to
be suitable for almost all workloads.
We default to 16 MiB under the assumption that the cache is not
meant to consume all of the user's available memory, and that the
cache's main purpose was to cache trees, for faster path limiters
during revision traversal. Since trees tend to be relatively small
objects, this relatively small limit should still allow a large
number of objects.
On the other hand we don't want the cache to start storing 200
different versions of a 200 MiB blob, as this could easily blow
the entire address space of a 32 bit process.
We evict OBJ_BLOB from the cache first (credit goes to Junio) as
we want to favor OBJ_TREE within the cache. These are the objects
that have the highest inflate() startup penalty, as they tend to
be small and thus don't have that much of a chance to ammortize
that penalty over the entire data.

I was using "branch" to mean "head", but that's perhaps a little
sloppy; so instead start by using the terms "branch head" and "head",
while still quickly falling back on "branch", since that's what
people actually say more frequently.
Also include glossary references on the first uses of "head" and "tag".
Signed-off-by: "J. Bruce Fields" <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
The sort_glossary.pl script sorts the glossary, checks for duplicates,
and automatically adds cross-references.
But it's not so hard to do all that by hand, and sometimes the automatic
cross-references are a little wrong; so let's run the script one last
time and check in its output.
Note: to make the output fit better into the user manual I also deleted
the acknowledgements at the end, which was maybe a little rude; feel
free to object and I can find a different solution.

The --nonet option prevents xsltproc from going to the network to find
anything. But it always tries to find them locally first, so for a
user with the necessary docbook stylesheets installed the build will
work just fine without xsltproc attempting to use the network; all
--nonet does is make it fail rather than falling back on that. That
doesn't seem particularly helpful.

This is a micro-optimization that grew out of the mailing list discussion
about "strlen()" showing up in profiles.
We used to pass regular C strings around to the low-level tree walking
routines, and while this worked fine, it meant that we needed to call
strlen() on strings that the caller always actually knew the size of
anyway.
So pass the length of the string down wih the string, and avoid
unnecessary calls to strlen(). Also, when extracting a pathname from a
tree entry, use "tree_entry_len()" instead of strlen(), since the length
of the pathname is directly calculable from the decoded tree entry itself
without having to actually do another strlen().
This shaves off another ~5-10% from some loads that are very tree
intensive (notably doing commit filtering by a pathspec).

This trivial 256-entry delta_base cache improves performance for some

Especially with the new index format to come, it is more appropriate
to encapsulate more into check_packed_git_idx() and assume less of the
index format in struct packed_git.
To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type
so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This
allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better
generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or
formats.
And index_data is declared const too while at it.

This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like
[remote "local"]
url = .
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*
Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.
To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.
The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

This uses diff-tree --quiet machinery to terminate the internal
diff-tree between a commit and its parents via revs.pruning (not
revs.diffopt) as soon as we find enough about the tree change.
With respect to the optionally given pathspec, we are interested
if the tree of commit is identical to the parent's, only adds
new paths to the parent's, or there are other differences. As
soon as we find out that there is one such other kind of
difference, we do not have to compare the rest of the tree.
Because we do not call standard diff_addremove/diff_change, we
instruct the diff-tree machinery to stop early by setting
has_changes when we say we found the trees to be different.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This adds the command line option 'quiet' to tell 'git diff-*'
that we are not interested in the actual diff contents but only
want to know if there is any change. This option automatically
turns --exit-code on, and turns off output formatting, as it
does not make much sense to show the first hit we happened to
have found.
The --quiet option is silently turned off (but --exit-code is
still in effect, so is silent output) if postprocessing filters
such as pickaxe and diff-filter are used. For all practical
purposes I do not think of a reason to want to use these filters
and not viewing the diff output.
The backends have not been taught about the option with this patch.
That is a topic for later rounds.

Previously git-describe would output lines of the form
v1.1.1-gf509d56
The update hook found the dash and stripped it off using
sed 's/-g.*//'
The remainder was then used as the previous tag name.
However, git-describe has changed format. The output is now of the form
v1.1.1-23-gf509d56
The above sed fragment doesn't strip the middle "-23", and so the
previous tag name used would be "v1.1.1-23". This is incorrect.
Since the hook script was written, git-describe now gained support for
"--abbrev=0", which it uses as a special flag to tell it not to output
anything other than the nearest tag name. This patch fixes the problem,
and prevents any future recurrence by using this new flag rather than
sed to find the previous tag.
