We have a number of badly checked read() calls. Often we are
expecting read() to read exactly the size we requested or fail, this
fails to handle interrupts or short reads. Add a read_in_full()
providing those semantics. Otherwise we at a minimum need to check
for EINTR and EAGAIN, where this is appropriate use xread().

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.
This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.
On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.
We'll see.

This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.
(1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;
(2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
builtin.h, pkt-line.h);
(3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
need not be included in individual C source files.
(4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

When widening permission for files and directories in a 'shared'
repository for a user with inappropriate umask() setting for
shared work, make sure we call chmod() only when we actually
need to.
The primary idea owes credit to Johannes.

This allows you to maintain a few filesystem pathnames concurrently, by
simply replacing the single static "pathname" buffer with a LRU of four
buffers.
We did exactly the same thing with sha1_to_hex(), for pretty much exactly
the same reason. Sometimes you want to use two pathnames, and while it's
easy enough to xstrdup() them, why not just do the LU buffer thing.

This cleans up the use of safe_strncpy() even more. Since it has the
same semantics as strlcpy() use this name instead. Also move the
definition from inside path.c to its own file compat/strlcpy.c, and use
it conditionally at compile time, since some platforms already has
strlcpy(). It's included in the same way as compat/setenv.c.

This enhances core.sharedrepository to have additionally
specify that read and exec permissions to be given to others as
well. It is useful when serving a repository via gitweb and
git-daemon that runs as a user outside the project group.
The configuration item can take the following values:
[core]
sharedrepository ; the same as "group"
sharedrepository = true ; ditto
sharedrepository = 1 ; ditto
sharedrepository = group ; allow rwx to group
sharedrepository = all ; allow rwx to group, allow rx to other
sharedrepository = umask ; not shared - use umask
It also extends "git init-db" to take "--shared=all" and friends
from the command line.

There were a few calls to adjust_shared_perm() that were
missing:
- init-db creates refs, refs/heads, and refs/tags before
reading from templates that could specify sharedrepository in
the config file;
- updating config file created it under user's umask without
adjusting;
- updating refs created it under user's umask without
adjusting;
- switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask
without adjusting.
This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,
since a few SIMPLE_PROGRAM need to call repository configuration
functions which in turn need to call adjust_shared_perm().
sha1_file.c needs to link with SHA1 computation library which
is usually not linked to SIMPLE_PROGRAM.

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.

After daemon, upload-pack and receive-pack find out where the
git directory is and chdir() there, make sure that repository is
in a format we understand, after putenv("GIT_DIR=.") so that it
knows to pick up the configuration file from there.

We wanted --strict to mean "do not DWIM", but the code required to
see absolute path. daemon does its own path verification and chdirs
to the verified repository, so enter_repo() called from upload-pack
will always enter ".". Requiring absolute path does not make any sense.

This should force git-daemon administrator's job a bit harder
because the exact paths need to be given in the whitelist, but
at the same time makes the auditing easier.
This moves validate_symref() from refs.c to path.c, because we
need to link path.c with git-daemon for its "enter_repo()", but
we do not want to link the daemon with the rest of git libraries
and its requirements.
