It was cumbersome to feed hash-object the file '-t' (you could

Not everybody can rely on /bin/sh to be sane, and we support
SHELL_PATH for that. Use it.
mktemp(1) is not used anywhere else in the core git. Do not
introduce dependency on it.
Not everybody's "which" gives a sane return value. For example,
on Solaris 'which XXX' says "no XXX in /usr/bin /bin ..." and
exits with zero status. The lesson here is to never use 'which'
in your scripts.

This attempts to clean up the way various compatibility
functions are defined and used.
- A new header file, git-compat-util.h, is introduced. This
looks at various NO_XXX and does necessary function name
replacements, equivalent of -Dstrcasestr=gitstrcasestr in the
Makefile.
- Those function name replacements are removed from the Makefile.
- Common features such as usage(), die(), xmalloc() are moved
from cache.h to git-compat-util.h; cache.h includes
git-compat-util.h itself.

Again, dumb transport clients are too dumb to make use of the
top objects information to make a choice among multiple packs,
so computing these lines are useless for now. We could

We somehow ended up registering packs in alternate object
directories as "dir/object//pack/pack-*", which confusd the
update-server-info code very badly. Also we did not attempt to
detect a mistake of listing the object directory itself as one
of the alternates. This does not lead to incorrect behaviour,
but is simply wasteful, so try to do so when we are trivially
able to.

This patch aims to freshen up a bit the git-ls-tree documentation. It hints
that the list of paths are in fact patterns to be matched, explains the new
-t, --name-only and --name-status options, corrects the original autorship
information to refer to yours sincerely, corrects several grammar mistakes,
etc.
Since the documentation still deserves some significant work (at least
proper description of the pattern matching), I also added the stub notice.

The whitelist of git-daemon is checked against return value from
enter_repo(), and enter_repo() used to return the value obtained
from getcwd() to avoid directory aliasing issues as discussed
earier (mid October 2005).
Unfortunately, it did not go well as we hoped.
For example, /pub on a kernel.org public machine is a symlink to
its real mountpoint, and it is understandable that the
administrator does not want to adjust the whitelist every time
/pub needs to point at a different partition for storage
allcation or whatever reasons. Being able to keep using
/pub/scm as the whitelist is a desirable property.
So this version of enter_repo() reports what it used to chdir()
and validate, but does not use getcwd() to canonicalize the
directory name. When it sees a user relative path ~user/path,
it internally resolves it to try chdir() there, but it still
reports ~user/path (possibly after appending .git if allowed to
do so, in which case it would report ~user/path.git).
What this means is that if a whitelist wants to allow a user
relative path, it needs to say "~" (for all users) or list user
home directories like "~alice" "~bob". And no, you cannot say
/home if the advertised way to access user home directories are
~alice,~bob, etc. The whole point of this is to avoid
unnecessary aliasing issues.
Anyway, because of this, daemon needs to do a bit more work to
guard itself. Namely, it needs to make sure that the accessor
does not try to exploit its leading path match rule by inserting
/../ in the middle or hanging /.. at the end. I resurrected the
belts and suspender paranoia code HPA did for this purpose.
This check cannot be done in the enter_repo() unconditionally,
because there are valid callers of enter_repo() that want to
honor /../; authorized users coming over ssh to run send-pack
and fetch-pack should be allowed to do so.

The "update-index followed by checkout-index" chain served two
purposes -- to collapse the index to "our" version, and make

to leave the index unmerged on conflicting path, we wanted to

allow merging to work in an un-checked-out working tree).

Fingers of some "git diff" users are trained to do --name-only

The old (new) behaviour was that it only shows trees if the object is
specified exactly, and recursive is not set. That makes sense, because
there is obviously nothing else it can show for that case.
However, with the new "-t" option, it will show the tree even with "-r",
as it traverses down into it.
NOTE! This also means that it will show all trees leading up to that tree.
For example, if you do a
git-ls-tree -t HEAD -- drivers/char/this/file/does/not/exist
it will show the trees that lead up to the files that do not exist:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-ls-tree -t HEAD -- drivers/char/this/file/does/not/exist
040000 tree 9cb687b77dcd64bf82e9a73214db467c964c1266 drivers
040000 tree 298e2fadf0ff3867d1ef49936fd2c7bf6ce1eb66 drivers/char
[torvalds@g5 linux]$
and note how this is true even though I didn't specify "-r": the fact that
I supplied a pathspec automatically implies "enough recursion" for that
particular pathspec.
I think the code is cleaner and easier to understand too: the patch looks
bigger, but it's really just splitting up the "should we recurse into this
tree" into a function of its own.
