For projects that do not release official archives, gitweb's snapshot
feature would be an excellent alternative, and but without the '-n'
('--no-name') argument, gzip includes a timestamp in output which results
in different files. Because some systems hash/checksum downloaded files
to ensure integrity of the tarball (e.g FreeBSD), it is desirable to
produce tarballs in a reproducible way for that purpose.
Whilst '--no-name' is more descriptive, the long version of the flag is
not supported on all systems. In particular, OpenBSD does not appear to
support it.
Supply '-n' to gzip to exclude timestamp from output and produce idential
output every time.

* js/maint-1.6.6-send-pack-stateless-rpc-deadlock-fix:
send-pack: avoid deadlock when pack-object dies early
Evil merge to adjust the way the use of pthreads in sideband-demultiplexor
was decided (earlier it was "if we are not on Windows", now it is "if we
are not using pthreads").
Send-pack deadlocks in two ways when pack-object dies early (for example,
because there is some repo corruption).
The first deadlock happens with the smart push protocol (--stateless-rpc).
After the initial rev-exchange, the remote is waiting for the pack data
to arrive, and the sideband demuxer at the local side continues trying to
stream data from the remote repository until it gets EOF. Meanwhile,
send-pack (in function pack_objects()) has noticed that pack-objects did
not produce output and died. Back in send_pack(), it now tries to clean
up the sideband demuxer using finish_async(). The demuxer, however, waits
for the remote end to close down, the remote waits for pack data, and
the reason that it still waits is that send-pack forgot to close the
outgoing channel. Add the missing close() in pack_objects().
The second deadlock happens in a similar constellation when the sideband
demuxer runs in a forked process (rather than in a thread). Again, the
remote end waits for pack data to arrive, the sideband demuxer waits for
the remote to shut down, and send-pack (in the regular clean-up) waits for
the demuxer to terminate. This time, the send-pack parent process closes
the writable end of the outgoing channel (in start_command() that spawned
pack-objects) so that after the death of the pack-objects process all
writable ends should have been closed and the remote repo should see EOF.
This does not happen, however, because when the sideband demuxer was forked
earlier, it also inherited a writable end; it remains open and keeps the
remote repo from seeing EOF. To break this deadlock, close the writable end
in the demuxer.

"git add -u" updates the index with the updated contents from the working
tree by internally running "diff-files" to grab the set of paths that are
different from the index. Then it updates the index entries for the paths
that are modified in the working tree, and deletes the index entries for
the paths that are deleted in the working tree.
It ignored the output from the diff-files that indicated that a path is
unmerged. For these paths, it instead relied on the fact that an unmerged
path is followed by the result of comparison between stage #2 (ours) and
the working tree, and used that to update or delete such a path when it is
used to record the resolution of a conflict.
As the result, when a path did not have stage #2 (e.g. "we deleted while
the other side added"), these unmerged stages were left behind, instead of
recording what the user resolved in the working tree.
Since we recently fixed "diff-files" to indicate if the corresponding path
exists on the working tree for an unmerged path, we do not have to rely on
the comparison with stage #2 anymore. We can instead tell the diff-files
not to compare with higher stages, and use the unmerged output to update
the index to reflect the state of the working tree.
The changes to the test vector in t2200 illustrates the nature of the bug
and the fix. The test expected stage #1 and #3 entries be left behind,
but it was codifying the buggy behaviour.

Earlier, e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS

a tree with an unmerged index.
This is a belated companion patch that teaches diff-files to show the mode

e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) added a <mode, object name> pair as
parameters to this function, to store them in the pre-image side of an
unmerged file pair. Now the function is fixed to return the filepair it
queued, we can make the caller on the special case codepath to do so.

The underlying diff_queue() returns diff_filepair so that the caller can
further add information to it, and the helper function diff_unmerge()
utilizes the feature itself, but does not expose it to its callers, which
was kind of selfish.

When relative dates are more than about a year ago, we start
writing them as "Y years, M months". At the point where we
calculate Y and M, we have the time delta specified as a
number of days. We calculate these integers as:
Y = days / 365
M = (days % 365 + 15) / 30
This rounds days in the latter half of a month up to the
nearest month, so that day 16 is "1 month" (or day 381 is "1
year, 1 month").
We don't round the year at all, though, meaning we can end
up with "1 year, 12 months", which is silly; it should just
be "2 years".
Implement this differently with months of size
onemonth = 365/12
so that
totalmonths = (long)( (days + onemonth/2)/onemonth )
years = totalmonths / 12
months = totalmonths % 12
In order to do this without floats, we write the first formula as
totalmonths = (days*12*2 + 365) / (365*2)

If start_command fails after forking and before exec finishes, there
is not much use in noticing an I/O error on top of that.
finish_command will notice that the child exited with nonzero status
anyway. So as noted in v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build
warnings on Ubuntu, 2010-01-30) and v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 (2011-03-16), it
is safe to ignore errors from write in this codepath.
Even so, the result from write contains useful information: it tells
us if the write was cancelled by a signal (EINTR) or was only
partially completed (e.g., when writing to an almost-full pipe).
Let's use write_in_full to loop until the desired number of bytes have
been written (still ignoring errors if that fails).
As a happy side effect, the assignment to a dummy variable to appease
gcc -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE is no longer needed. xwrite and write_in_full
check the return value from write(2).
Noticed with gcc -Wunused-but-set-variable.

In git versions starting at v1.7.5-rc0~29^2 until v1.7.5-rc3~2 (Revert
"run-command: prettify -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE workaround", 2011-04-18)
fixed it, the run_command facility would write a truncated error
message when the command is present but cannot be executed for some
other reason. For example, if I add a 'hello' command to git:
$ echo 'echo hello' >git-hello
$ chmod +x git-hello
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
hello
and make it non-executable, this is what I normally get:
$ chmod -x git-hello
$ git hello
fatal: cannot exec 'git-hello': Permission denied
But with the problematic versions, we get disturbing output:
$ PATH=.:$PATH git hello
fatal: $
Add some tests to make sure it doesn't happen again.
The hello-script used in these tests uses cat instead of echo because
on Windows the bash spawned by git converts LF to CRLF in text written
by echo while the bash running tests does not, causing the test to
fail if "echo" is used. Thanks to Hannes for noticing.

Add a DISCUSSION section to the "git format-patch" manual to encourage
people to send patches in a form that can be applied by "git am"
automatically. There are two such forms:
1. The default form in which most metadata goes in the mail header
and the message body starts with the patch description;
2. The snipsnip form in which a message starts with pertinent
discussion and ends with a patch after a "scissors" mark.
The example requires QP encoding in the "Subject:" header intended for
the mailer to give the reader a chance to reflect on that, rather than
being startled by it later. By contrast, in-body "From:" and
"Subject:" lines should be human-readable and not QP encoded.
