Help "fetch only" repositories that do not trigger "gc --auto"
often enough.
* jk/gc-auto-after-fetch:
fetch-pack: avoid repeatedly re-scanning pack directory
fetch: run gc --auto after fetching
We generally try to run "gc --auto" after any commands that
might introduce a large number of new objects. An obvious
place to do so is after running "fetch", which may introduce
new loose objects or packs (depending on the size of the
fetch).
While an active developer repository will probably
eventually trigger a "gc --auto" on another action (e.g.,
git-rebase), there are two good reasons why it is nicer to
do it at fetch time:
1. Read-only repositories which track an upstream (e.g., a
continuous integration server which fetches and builds,
but never makes new commits) will accrue loose objects
and small packs, but never coalesce them into a more
efficient larger pack.
2. Fetching is often already perceived to be slow to the
user, since they have to wait on the network. It's much
more pleasant to include a potentially slow auto-gc as
part of the already-long network fetch than in the
middle of productive work with git-rebase or similar.

The user can do --depth=2147483647 (*) for restoring complete repo
now. But it's hard to remember. Any other numbers larger than the
longest commit chain in the repository would also do, but some
guessing may be involved. Make easy-to-remember --unshallow an alias
for --depth=2147483647.
Make upload-pack recognize this special number as infinite depth. The
effect is essentially the same as before, except that upload-pack is
more efficient because it does not have to traverse to the bottom
anymore.
The chance of a user actually wanting exactly 2147483647 commits
depth, not infinite, on a repository with a history that long, is
probably too small to consider. The client can learn to add or
subtract one commit to avoid the special treatment when that actually
happens.
(*) This is the largest positive number a 32-bit signed integer can
contain. JGit and older C Git store depth as "int" so both are OK
with this number. Dulwich does not support shallow clone.

fetch: align per-ref summary report in UTF-8 locales
fetch does printf("%-*s", width, "foo") where "foo" can be a utf-8
string, but width is in bytes, not columns. For ASCII it's fine as one
byte takes one column. For utf-8, this may result in misaligned ref
summary table.
Introduce gettext_width() function that returns the string length in
columns (currently only supports utf-8 locales). Make the code use
TRANSPORT_SUMMARY(x) where the length is compensated properly in
non-English locales.

fetch_populated_submodules() allocates the full argv array it uses to
recurse into the submodules from the number of given options plus the six
argv values it is going to add. It then initializes it with those values
which won't change during the iteration and copies the given options into
it. Inside the loop the two argv values different for each submodule get
replaced with those currently valid.
However, this technique is brittle and error-prone (as the comment to
explain the magic number 6 indicates), so let's replace it with an
argv_array. Instead of replacing the argv values, push them to the
argv_array just before the run_command() call (including the option
separating them) and pop them from the argv_array right after that.

Fetch invokes itself recursively when recursing into
submodules or handling "fetch --multiple". In both cases, it
builds the child's command line by pushing options onto a
statically-sized array. In both cases, the array is
currently just big enough to handle the largest possible
case. However, this technique is brittle and error-prone, so
let's replace it with a dynamic argv_array.

Since 88a21979c (fetch/pull: recurse into submodules when necessary) all
fetched commits are examined if they contain submodule changes (unless
configuration or command line options inhibit that). If a newly recorded
submodule commit is not present in the submodule, a fetch is run inside
it to download that commit.
Checking new refs was done in an else branch where it wasn't executed for
tags. This normally isn't a problem because tags are only fetched with
the branches they live on, then checking the new commits in the fetched
branches for submodule commits will also process all tags. But when a
specific tag is fetched (or the refspec contains refs/tags/) commits only
reachable by tags won't be searched for submodule commits, which is a bug.
Fix that by moving the code outside the if/else construct to handle new
tags just like any other ref. The performance impact of adding tags that
most of the time lie on a branch which is checked anyway for new submodule
commit should be minimal, as since 6859de4 (fetch: avoid quadratic loop
checking for updated submodules) all ref-tips are collected first and then
fed to a single rev-list.

The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.
The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.
While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
that implied that each entry in FETCH_HEAD only has the object name, which
is not true for quite a while.

If the user gave us refspecs on the command line, we should use those
when deciding whether to prune a ref instead of relying on the
refspecs in the config.
Previously, running
git fetch --prune origin refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
would delete every other ref under the origin namespace because we
were using the refspec to filter the available refs but using the
configured refspec to figure out if a ref had been deleted on the
remote. This is clearly the wrong thing to do.
Change prune_refs and get_stale_heads to simply accept a list of
references and a list of refspecs. The caller of either function needs
to decide what refspecs should be used to decide whether a ref is

The "git fetch" command works in two phases. The remote side tells us what
objects are at the tip of the refs we are fetching from, and transfers the
objects missing from our side. After storing the objects in our repository,
we update our remote tracking branches to point at the updated tips of the
refs.
A broken or malicious remote side could send a perfectly well-formed pack
data during the object transfer phase, but there is no guarantee that the
given data actually fill the gap between the objects we originally had and
the refs we are updating to.
Although this kind of breakage can be caught by running fsck after a
fetch, it is much cheaper to verify that everything that is reachable from
the tips of the refs we fetched are indeed fully connected to the tips of
our current set of refs before we update them.
