This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.
It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet
but get_object() will in the next patches.

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 shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

Its ambiguous to parse "master@2006-05-17 18:30:foo" when foo is
meant as a file name and ":30" is meant as 30 minutes past 6 pm.
Therefore all date specifications in a sha1 expression must now
appear within brackets and the ':' splitter used for the path name
in a sha1 expression ignores ':' appearing within brackets.

The log parser was only ever matching the last log record due to
calling strtoul on "> 1136091609" rather than " 1136091609". Also
once a match for '@' has been found after the name of the ref there
is no point in looking for another '@' within the remaining text.

Extended sha1 expressions may now include date specifications

This is a fairly straightforward patch to allow "get_sha1()" to also have
shorthands for tree and blob objects.
The syntax is very simple and intuitive: you can specify a tree or a blob
by simply specifying <revision>:<path>, and get_sha1() will do the SHA1
lookup from the tree for you.
You can currently do it with "git ls-tree <rev> <path>" and parsing the
output, but that's actually pretty awkward.
With this, you can do something like
git cat-file blob v1.2.4:Makefile
to get the contents of "Makefile" at revision v1.2.4.
Now, this isn't necessarily something you really need all that often, but
the concept itself is actually pretty powerful. We could, for example,
allow things like
git diff v0.99.6:git-commit-script..v1.3.0:git-commit.sh
to see the difference between two arbitrary files in two arbitrary
revisions. To do that, the only thing we'd have to do is to make
git-diff-tree accept two blobs to diff, in addition to the two trees it
now expects.

This removes the misguided attempt to refuse processing a branch
name xyzzy and insist it to be given as either heads/xyzzy or
tags/xyzzy when a tag xyzzy exists. There was no reason to do
so --- the search order was predictable and well defined, so if
the user says xyzzy we should have taken the tag xyzzy in such a
case without complaining.
This incidentally fixes another subtle bug related to this. If
such a duplicate branch/tag name happened to be a unique valid
prefix of an existing commit object name (say, "beef"), we did
not take the tag "beef" but after complaining used the commit
object whose name started with beef.
Another problem this fixes while introducing some confusion is
that there is no longer a reason to forbid a branch name HEAD
anymore. In other words, now "git pull . ref1:HEAD" would work
as expected, once we revert "We do not like HEAD branch" patch.
It creates "HEAD" branch under ${GIT_DIR-.git}/refs/heads (or
fast-forwards if already exists) using the tip of ref1 branch
from the current repository, and merges it into the current
branch.

When .git/refs/heads/frotz and .git/refs/tags/frotz existed, and
the object name stored in .git/refs/heads/frotz were corrupt, we

the corrupt .git/refs/heads/frotz was more than 40 bytes and
began with hexadecimal characters, it silently overwritten the
initial part of the returned result.

One caller of deref_tag() was not careful enough to make sure

This does two things:
- we don't allow "." and ".." as components of a refname. Thus get_sha1()
will not accept "./refname" as being the same as "refname" any more.
- git-rev-parse stops doing revision translation after seeing a pathname,
to match the brhaviour of all the tools (once we see a pathname,
everything else will also be parsed as a pathname).
Basically, if you did
git log *
and "gitk" was somewhere in the "*", we don't want to replace the filename
"gitk" with the SHA1 of the branch with the same name.
Of course, if there is any change of ambiguity, you should always use "--"
to make it explicit what are filenames and what are revisions, but this
makes the normal cases sane. The refname rule also means that instead of
the "--", you can do the same thing we're used to doing with filenames
that start with a slash: use "./filename" instead, and now it's a
filename, not an option (and not a revision).
So "git log ./*.c" is now actually a perfectly valid thing to do, even if
the first C-file might have the same name as a branch.
Trivial test:
git-rev-parse gitk ./gitk gitk
should output something like
9843c3074d
./gitk
gitk
where the "./gitk" isn't seen as a revision, and the second "gitk" is a
filename simply because we've seen filenames already, and thus stopped
doing revision parsing.

Existing "tagname^0" notation means "dereference tag zero or more
times until you cannot dereference it anymore, and make sure it is a
commit -- otherwise barf". But tags do not necessarily reference
commit objects.
This commit introduces a bit more generalized notation, "ref^{type}".
Existing "ref^0" is a shorthand for "ref^{commit}". If the type
is empty, it just dereferences tags until it hits a non-tag object.
With this, "git-rev-parse --verify 'junio-gpg-pub^{}'" shows the blob
object name -- there is no need to manually read the tag object and
find out the object name anymore.
"git-rev-parse --verify 'HEAD^{tree}'" can be used to find out the
tree object name of the HEAD commit.

This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file

introduces the notion of ref aliases.
This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,

I think Linus did a cut & paste from an early JIT code while
