877449c136 git-submodule.sh: clarify the "should we die now" logic
Earlier the decision to stop or continue was made on the $action variable
that was set by inspecting $update_module variable. The former is a
redundant variable and will be removed in another topic.

Decide upon inspecting $update_module if a failure should cascade up to
cause us immediately stop, and use a variable that means just that, to
clarify the logic.

Incidentally this also makes the merge with the other topic slightly
easier and cleaner to understand.

15ffb7cde4 submodule update: continue when a checkout fails
"git submodule update" stops at the first error and gives control
back to the user. Only after the user fixes the problematic
submodule and runs "git submodule update" again, the second error
is found. And the user needs to repeat until all the problems are
found and fixed one by one. This is tedious.

Instead, the command can remember which submodules it had trouble with,
continue updating the ones it can, and report which ones had errors at
the end. The user can run "git submodule update", find all the ones that
need minor fixing (e.g. working tree was dirty) to fix them in a single
pass. Then another "git submodule update" can be run to update all.

Note that the problematic submodules are skipped only when they are to
be integrated with a safer value of submodule.<name>.update option,
namely "checkout". Fixing a failure in a submodule that uses "rebase" or
"merge" may need an involved conflict resolution by the user, and
leaving too many submodules in states that need resolution would not
reduce the mental burden on the user.

0c811a7a6f limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp
When looking for commits that contain other commits (e.g.,
via "git tag --contains"), we can end up traversing useless
portions of the graph. For example, if I am looking for a
tag that contains a commit made last week, there is not much
point in traversing portions of the history graph made five
years ago.

This optimization can provide massive speedups. For example,
doing "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6
repository goes from:

  real    0m5.302s
  user    0m5.116s
  sys     0m0.184s

to:

  real    0m0.030s
  user    0m0.020s
  sys     0m0.008s

The downside is that we will no longer find some answers in
the face of extreme clock skew, as we will stop the
traversal early when seeing commits skewed too far into the
past.

Name-rev already implements a similar optimization, using a
"slop" of one day to allow for a certain amount of clock
skew in commit timestamps. This patch introduces a
"core.clockskew" variable, which allows specifying the
allowable amount of clock skew in seconds.  For safety, it
defaults to "none", causing a full traversal (i.e., no
change in behavior from previous versions).

ffc4b8012d tag: speed up --contains calculation
When we want to know if commit A contains commit B (or any
one of a set of commits, B through Z), we generally
calculate the merge bases and see if B is a merge base of A
(or for a set, if any of the commits B through Z have that
property).

When we are going to check a series of commits A1 through An
to see whether each contains B (e.g., because we are
deciding which tags to show with "git tag --contains"), we
do a series of merge base calculations. This can be very
expensive, as we repeat a lot of traversal work.

Instead, let's leverage the fact that we are going to use
the same --contains list for each tag, and mark areas of the
commit graph is definitely containing those commits, or
definitely not containing those commits. Later tags can then
stop traversing as soon as they see a previously calculated
answer.

This sped up "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6
repository from:

  real    0m15.417s
  user    0m15.197s
  sys     0m0.220s

to:

  real    0m5.329s
  user    0m5.144s
  sys     0m0.184s

e01503b523 zlib: allow feeding more than 4GB in one go
Update zlib_post_call() that adjusts the wrapper's notion of avail_in and
avail_out to what came back from zlib, so that the callers can feed
buffers larger than than 4GB to the API.

When underlying inflate/deflate stopped processing because we fed a buffer
larger than 4GB limit, detect that case, update the state variables, and
let the zlib function work another round.

ef49a7a012 zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.

But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.

In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.

Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.

2c162b56f3 gitweb: do not misparse nonnumeric content tag files that contain a digit
v1.7.6-rc0~27^2~4 (gitweb: Change the way "content tags" ('ctags') are
handled, 2011-04-29) tried to make gitweb's tag cloud feature more
intuitive for webmasters by checking whether the ctags/<label> under
a project's .git dir contains a number (representing the strength of
association to <label>) before treating it as one.

With that change, after putting '$feature{'ctags'}{'default'} = [1];'
in your $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do

	echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux

and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.

Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above.  Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.

cc5c54e78b sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format
Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.

This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.

Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

c1921c184c clone: always fetch remote HEAD
In most cases, fetching the remote HEAD explicitly is
unnecessary. It's just a symref pointing to a branch which
we are already fetching, so we will already ask for its sha1.

However, if the remote has a detached HEAD, things are less
certain. We do not ask for HEAD's sha1, but we do try to
write it into a local detached HEAD. In most cases this is
fine, as the remote HEAD is pointing to some part of the
history graph that we will fetch via the refs.

But if the remote HEAD points to an "orphan" commit (one
which was is not an ancestor of any refs), then we will not
have the object, and update_ref will complain when we try to
write the detached HEAD, aborting the whole clone.

This patch makes clone always explicitly ask the remote for
the sha1 of its HEAD commit. In the non-detached case, this
is a no-op, as we were going to ask for that sha1 anyway. In
the regular detached case, this will add an extra "want" to
the protocol negotiation, but will not change the history
that gets sent. And in the detached orphan case, we will
fetch the orphaned history so that we can write it into our
local detached HEAD.

df599e9612 Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search
getenv() on Windows looks up environment variables in a case-insensitive
manner. Even though all documentations claim that the environment is
case-insensitive, it is possible for applications to pass an environment
to child processes that has variables that differ only in case. Bash on
Windows does this, for example, and sh-i18n--envsubst depends on this
behavior.

With this patch environment variables are first looked up in a
case-sensitive manner; only if this finds nothing, the system's getenv() is
used as a fallback.

06bc4b796a mingw.c: move definition of mingw_getenv down
We want to use static lookup_env() in a subsequent change.

At first sight, this change looks innocent. But it is not due to the
#undef getenv. There is one caller of getenv between the old location and
the new location whose behavior could change. But as can be seen from the
defintion of mingw_getenv, the behavior for this caller does not change
substantially.

To ensure consistent behavior in the future, change all getenv callers
in mingw.c to use mingw_getenv.

With this patch, this is not a big deal, yet, but with the subsequent
change, where we teach getenv to do a case-sensitive lookup, the behavior
of all call sites is changed.

3de89c9d42 verify-pack: use index-pack --verify

walks objects in the packfile in their object name order and replaces it
with a call to index-pack --verify. As a side effect, it also removes
packed_object_info_detail() API which is rather expensive.

As this changes the way errors are reported (verify-pack used to rely on
the usual runtime error detection routine unpack_entry() to diagnose the
CRC errors in an entry in the *.idx file; index-pack --verify checks the
whole *.idx file in one go), update a test that expected the string "CRC"

The eventual goal is to remove verify-pack implementation and redo it as a

c17b229454 checkout -b <name>: correctly detect existing branch
When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string

The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().

A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.

a8f0e7649e grep: add --break
With --break, an empty line is printed between matches from different
files, increasing readability.  This option is taken from ack
(http://betterthangrep.com/).

08303c3636 grep: fix coloring of hunk marks between files
Commit 431d6e7b (grep: enable threading for context line printing)
split the printing of the "--\n" mark between results from different
files out into two places: show_line() in grep.c for the non-threaded
case and work_done() in builtin/grep.c for the threaded case.  Commit
55f638bd (grep: Colorize filename, line number, and separator) updated
the former, but not the latter, so the separators between files are
not colored if threads are used.

This patch merges the two.  In the threaded case, hunk marks are now
printed by show_line() for every file, including the first one, and the
very first mark is simply skipped in work_done().  This ensures that the
output is properly colored and works just as well.

61adfd3097 consider only branches in guess_remote_head
The guess_remote_head function tries to figure out where a
remote's HEAD is pointing by comparing the sha1 of the
remote's HEAD with the sha1 of various refs found on the
remote. However, we were too liberal in matching refs, and
would match tags or remote tracking branches, even though
these things could not possibly be referenced by the HEAD
symbolic ref (since git will detach when checking them out).

As a result, a clone of a remote repository with a detached
HEAD might write "refs/tags/*" into our local HEAD, which is
bogus. The resulting HEAD should be detached.

The other related code path is remote.c's get_head_names()
(which is used for, among other things, "set-head -a"). This was
not affected, however, as that function feeds only refs from
refs/heads to guess_remote_head.

3b368546a0 t: add tests for cloning remotes with detached HEAD
We didn't test this setup at all, and doing so reveals a few
bugs:

  1. Cloning a repository with an orphaned detached HEAD
     (i.e., one that points to history that is not
     referenced by any ref) will fail.

  2. Cloning a repository with a detached HEAD that points
     to a tag will cause us to write a bogus "refs/tags/..."
     ref into the HEAD symbolic ref. We should probably
     detach instead.

  3. Cloning a repository with a detached HEAD that points
     to a branch will cause us to checkout that branch. This
     is a known limitation of the git protocol (we have to
     guess at HEAD's destination, since the symref contents
     aren't shown to us). This test serves to document the
     desired behavior, which can only be achieved once the
     git protocol learns to share symref information.

bee6ea17a1 gitweb: Fix usability of $prevent_xss
With XSS prevention on (enabled using $prevent_xss), blobs
('blob_plain') of all types except a few known safe ones are served
with "Content-Disposition: attachment".  However the check was too
strict; it didn't take into account optional parameter attributes,

  media-type     = type "/" subtype *( ";" parameter )

as described in RFC 2616

  http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.17
  http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.7

This fixes that, and it for example treats following as safe MIME
media type:

  text/plain; charset=utf-8

bcfb95dde4 http: pass http.cookiefile using CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b
option.  This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms
that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by
Shibboleth.

To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP
code. See for example:

<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP>

Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.

git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies"

libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.
