Back when only handful commands that created commit and tag were
the only users of committer identity information, it made sense
to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value
from the gecos information. But it is much simpler for programs
to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days,
since many more programs want to use the information when updating
the reflog.

The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die
whenever it is asked to update a ref. And I do not think
calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent
receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround.
What the patch does.
- git_committer_info() takes one parameter. It used to be "if
this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to
bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name
empty". The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad
commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its
callers). The value 0 is only used by "git var -l".
Now it takes -1, 0 or 1. When set to -1, it does not
complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not
available. Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as
they used to mean before. 0 means issue warnings and leave
it empty, 1 means barf and die.
- ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller
(receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed.
- git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when
asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info(). This
codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name. It
used to barf and die. The other call in the same program
when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer
identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of
adding a bogus s-o-b line.
- log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record
who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1. It
used to barf and die.
The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and
commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with
reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required
to make a commit. They all used to barf and die.
I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git
clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again
now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default).
But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs.

Currently the update hook invoked by receive-pack has its stdin
connected to the pushing client. The hook shouldn't attempt to
read from this stream, and doing so may consume data that was
meant for receive-pack. Instead we should give the update hook
/dev/null as its stdin, ensuring that it always receives EOF and
doesn't disrupt the protocol if it attempts to read any data.
The post-update hook is similar, as it gets invoked with /dev/null
on stdin to prevent the hook from reading data from the client.
Previously we had invoked it with stdout also connected to /dev/null,
throwing away anything on stdout, to prevent client protocol errors.
Instead we should redirect stdout to stderr, like we do with the
update hook.

If an update hook outputs to stdout then that output will be sent
back over the wire to the push client as though it were part of
the git protocol. This tends to cause protocol errors on the
client end of the connection, as the hook output is not expected
in that context. Most hook developers work around this by making
sure their hook outputs everything to stderr.
But hooks shouldn't need to perform such special behavior. Instead
we can just dup stderr to stdout prior to invoking the update hook.

The argc parameter is never used by the run_command_v family of
functions. Instead they require that the passed argv[] be NULL
terminated so they can rely on the operating system's execvp
function to correctly pass the arguments to the new process.
Making the caller pass the argc is just confusing, as the caller
could be mislead into believing that the argc might take precendece
over the argv, or that the argv does not need to be NULL terminated.
So goodbye argc. Don't come back.

(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"

If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs
are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking
the user to correct their environment settings.
Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be)
non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users
who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't
have access to the remote system to correct the problem.
So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a
ref change and have no committer name we default to the username,
as obtained from the host's password database.

Currently the treshold is 5000. The likelihood of this value to ever be
crossed for a single push is really small making it not really useful.
The optimal treshold for a pure space saving on a filesystem with 4kb
blocks is 3. However this is likely to create many small packs
concentrating a large number of files in a single directory compared to
the same objects which are spread over 256 directories when loose. This
means we would need 512 objects per pack on average to approximagte the
same directory cost (a pack has 2 files because of the index).
But 512 is a really high value just like 5000 since most pushes are
unlikely to have that many objects. So let's try with a value of 100
which should have a good balance between small pushes going to be
exploded into loose objects and large pushes kept as whole packs.
This is not a replacement for periodic repacks of course.

Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.
If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.
If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.
Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack. We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small. Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated. That is being left as room for future improvement.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

Just before updating a ref,
$GIT_DIR/hooks/update refname old-sha1 new-sha1
is called if executable. The hook can decline the ref to be
updated by exiting with a non-zero status, or allow it to be
updated by exiting with a zero status. The mechanism also
allows e.g sending of a mail with pushed commits on the remote
repository.
Documentation update with an example hook is included.
jc: The credits of the basic idea and initial implementation go
to Josef, but I ended up rewriting major parts of his patch, so
bugs are all mine. Also I changed the semantics for the hook
from his original version (which were post-update hook) so that
the hook can optionally decline to update the ref, and also can
be used to implement the overall cleanups. The latter was
primarily to implement a suggestion from Linus that calling

The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.
In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.
