In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked. This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.
We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location. If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt. If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

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).

The Cygwin folks have done a fine job at creating a POSIX layer
on Windows That Just Works(tm). However it comes with a penalty;
accessing files in the working tree by way of stat/open/mmap can
be slower for diffcore than inflating the data from a blob which
is stored in a packfile.
This performance problem is especially an issue in merge-recursive
when dealing with nearly 7000 added files, as we are loading
each file's content from the working directory to perform rename
detection. I have literally seen (and sadly watched) paint dry in
less time than it takes for merge-recursive to finish such a merge.
On the other hand this very same merge runs very fast on Solaris.
If Git is compiled with NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY set then we will
avoid looking at the working directory when the blob in question
is available within a packfile and the caller doesn't need the data
unpacked into a temporary file.
We don't use loose objects as they have the same open/mmap/close
costs as the working directory file access, but have the additional
CPU overhead of needing to inflate the content before use. So it
is still faster to use the working tree file over the loose object.
If the caller needs the file data unpacked into a temporary file
its likely because they are going to call an external diff program,
passing the file as a parameter. In this case reusing the working
tree file will be faster as we don't need to inflate the data and
write it out to a temporary file.
The NO_FAST_WORKING_DIRECTORY feature is enabled by default on
Cygwin, as that is the platform which currently appears to benefit
the most from this option.

While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches. The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.
This patch does the same thing for
- git-log (color.diff)
- git-status (color.status)
- git-diff (color.diff)
- pager (color.pager)
I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions. I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.
Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

Somebody was wondering on #git channel why a git generated diff
does not apply with GNU patch when the filename contains a SP.
It is because GNU patch expects to find TAB (and trailing timestamp)
on ---/+++ (old_name and new_name) lines after the filenames.
The "diff --git" output format was carefully designed to be
compatible with GNU patch where it can, but whitespace
characters were always a pain.
This adds an extra TAB (but not trailing timestamp) to old_name
and new_name lines of git-diff output when the filename has a SP
in it. An earlier patch updated git-apply to prepare for this.

The Porcelainish has become so much usable as the UI that there

unaffected by the configuration variables. Otherwise they will
become very hard to use as reliable building blocks.
For example, "git-commit -a" internally uses git-diff-files to
figure out the set of paths that need to be updated in the
index, and we should never allow diff.renames that happens to be
in the configuration to interfere (or slow down the process).

When we cut off the front of a filename to make it fit on the line, we add
a "..." in front. However, the way the "git diff" code was written, we
will never reset the prefix back to the empty string, so every single
filename afterwards will have the "..." prefix, whether appropriate or
not.
You can see this with "git diff v2.6.16.." on the current kernel tree,
since there are filenames with long names that changed there:
[ snip snip ]
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 229
.../firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c | 3
.../firmware_sample_firmware_class.c | 1
...Documentation/fujitsu/frv/kernel-ABI.txt | 192
...Documentation/hwmon/w83627hf | 4
[ snip snip ]
notice how the two Documentation/firmware** filenames caused the "..." to
be added, but then the later filenames don't want it, and it also screws
up the alignment of the line numbering afterwards.

On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

Somebody on the #git channel complained that the sha1_to_hex() thing uses
a static buffer which caused an error message to show the same hex output
twice instead of showing two different ones.
That's pretty easily rectified by making it uses a simple LRU of a few
buffers, which also allows some other users (that were aware of the buffer
re-use) to be written in a more straightforward manner.

The patch format shows complete rewrite as deletion of all old lines
followed by addition of all new lines. Count lines consistenly with
that when doing diffstat.

This is the first installment to libify diff brothers.
The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions()
infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means
the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before.
The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from
the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher
way.
As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply
stupid, so I am renaming it back. The new diff-lib.c is to
contain pieces extracted from diff brothers.

Set maximum filename length for binary files so that scaling won't be
triggered and result in invalid string access.

Just like "patch" format always needs recursive, "diffstat"
format does not make sense without setting recursive.
