The empty tree passed as common ancestor to merge_trees() when
cherry-picking a parentless commit is allocated on the heap and never
freed. Leaking such a small one-time allocation is not a very big
problem, but now that "git cherry-pick" can cherry-pick multiple
commits it can start to add up.
Avoid the leak by storing the fake tree exactly once in the BSS
section (i.e., use a static). While at it, let's add a test to make
sure cherry-picking multiple parentless commits continues to work.

The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:
$ mkdir sub
$ cd sub
$ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.
So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.
Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.
$ cd Documentation
$ git checkout nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
$ git commit nosuch.txt
error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...
by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

* js/ls-tree-error:
Ensure git ls-tree exits with a non-zero exit code if read_tree_recursive fails.
Add a test to check that git ls-tree sets non-zero exit code on error.
Currently, revert_or_cherry_pick can fail in two ways. If it
encounters a conflict, it returns a positive number indicating the
intended exit status for the git wrapper to pass on; for all other
errors, it calls die(). The latter behavior is inconsiderate towards
callers, as it denies them the opportunity to recover from errors and
do other things.
After this patch, revert_or_cherry_pick will still return a positive
return value to indicate an exit status for conflicts as before, while
for some other errors, it will print an error message and return -1
instead of die()-ing. The cmd_revert and cmd_cherry_pick are adjusted
to handle the fatal errors by die()-ing themselves.
While the full benefits of this patch will only be seen once all the
"die" calls are replaced with calls to "error", its immediate impact
is to change some "fatal:" messages to say "error:" and to add a new
"fatal: cherry-pick failed" message at the end when the operation
fails.

Introduce a new "git cherry-pick --continue" command which uses the
information in ".git/sequencer" to continue a cherry-pick that stopped
because of a conflict or other error. It works by dropping the first
instruction from .git/sequencer/todo and performing the remaining
cherry-picks listed there, with options (think "-s" and "-X") from the
initial command listed in ".git/sequencer/opts".
So now you can do:
$ git cherry-pick -Xpatience foo..bar
... description conflict in commit moo ...
$ git cherry-pick --continue
error: 'cherry-pick' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
fatal: failed to resume cherry-pick
$ echo resolved >conflictingfile
$ git add conflictingfile && git commit
$ git cherry-pick --continue; # resumes with the commit after "moo"
During the "git commit" stage, CHERRY_PICK_HEAD will aid by providing
the commit message from the conflicting "moo" commit. Note that the
cherry-pick mechanism has no control at this stage, so the user is
free to violate anything that was specified during the first
cherry-pick invocation. For example, if "-x" was specified during the
first cherry-pick invocation, the user is free to edit out the message
during commit time. Note that the "--signoff" option specified at
cherry-pick invocation time is not reflected in the commit message
provided by CHERRY_PICK_HEAD; the user must take care to add
"--signoff" during the "git commit" invocation.

Protect the user from forgetting about a pending sequencer operation

$ git cherry-pick moo
error: .git/sequencer already exists
hint: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress

fatal: cherry-pick failed
A naive version of this would break the following established ways of
working:
$ git cherry-pick foo
... conflict ...
$ git reset --hard # I actually meant "moo" when I said "foo"
$ git cherry-pick moo
$ git cherry-pick foo
... conflict ...
$ git commit # commit the resolution
$ git cherry-pick moo # New operation

When cherry-pick or revert is called on a list of commits, and a
conflict encountered somewhere in the middle, the data in
".git/sequencer" is required to continue the operation. However, when
a conflict is encountered in the very last commit, the user will have
to "continue" after resolving the conflict and committing just so that
the sequencer state is removed. This is how the current "rebase -i"
script works as well.
$ git cherry-pick foo..bar
... conflict encountered while picking "bar" ...
$ echo "resolved" >problematicfile
$ git add problematicfile
$ git commit
$ git cherry-pick --continue # This would be a no-op
Change this so that the sequencer state is cleared when a conflict is
encountered in the last commit. Incidentally, this patch makes sure
that some existing tests don't break when features like "--reset" and
"--continue" are implemented later in the series.
A better way to implement this feature is to get the last "git commit"
to remove the sequencer state. However, that requires tighter
coupling between "git commit" and the sequencer, a goal that can be
pursued once the sequencer is made more general.

Many pathnames in a fast-import stream need to be quoted. In
particular:
1. Pathnames at the end of an "M" or "D" line need quoting
if they contain a LF or start with double-quote.
2. Pathnames on a "C" or "R" line need quoting as above,
but also if they contain spaces.
For (1), we weren't quoting at all. For (2), we put
double-quotes around the paths to handle spaces, but ignored
the possibility that they would need further quoting.
This patch checks whether each pathname needs c-style
quoting, and uses it. This is slightly overkill for (1),
which doesn't actually need to quote many characters that
vanilla c-style quoting does. However, it shouldn't hurt, as
any implementation needs to be ready to handle quoted
strings anyway.
In addition to adding a test, we have to tweak a test which
blindly assumed that case (2) would always use
double-quotes, whether it needed to or not.

Normalize the path arguments (relative to the working tree root, if
applicable) before looking up their attributes. This requires passing
the prefix down the call chain.
This fixes two test cases for different reasons:
* "unnormalized paths" is fixed because the .gitattribute-file-seeking
code is not confused into reading the top-level file twice.
* "relative paths" is fixed because the canonical pathnames are passed
to get_check_attr() or get_all_attrs(), allowing them to match the

generic function called "remove_sequencer_state" that various git
programs can use to remove the sequencer state in a uniform manner;
"git reset" uses it later in this series. Introducing this public API

Apart from its central objective of calling into the picking
mechanism, pick_commits creates a sequencer directory, prepares a todo
list, and even acts upon the "--reset" subcommand. This makes for a
bad API since the central worry of callers is to figure out whether or
not any conflicts were encountered during the cherry picking. The
current API is like:
if (pick_commits(opts) < 0)
print "Something failed, we're not sure what"
So, change pick_commits so that it's only responsible for picking
commits in a loop and reporting any errors, leaving the rest to a new
function called pick_revisions. Consequently, the API of pick_commits
becomes much clearer:
act_on_subcommand(opts->subcommand);
todo_list = prepare_todo_list();
if (pick_commits(todo_list, opts) < 0)
print "Error encountered while picking commits"
Now, callers can easily call-in to the cherry-picking machinery by
constructing an arbitrary todo list along with some options.

Ever since v1.7.2-rc1~4^2~7 (revert: allow cherry-picking more than
one commit, 2010-06-02), a single invocation of "git cherry-pick" or
"git revert" can perform picks of several individual commits. To
implement features like "--continue" to continue the whole operation,
we will need to store some information about the state and the plan at
the beginning. Introduce a ".git/sequencer/head" file to store this
state, and ".git/sequencer/todo" file to store the plan. The head
file contains the SHA-1 of the HEAD before the start of the operation,
and the todo file contains an instruction sheet whose format is
inspired by the format of the "rebase -i" instruction sheet. As a
result, a typical todo file looks like:
pick 8537f0e submodule add: test failure when url is not configured
pick 4d68932 submodule add: allow relative repository path
pick f22a17e submodule add: clean up duplicated code
pick 59a5775 make copy_ref globally available
Since SHA-1 hex is abbreviated using an find_unique_abbrev(), it is
unambiguous. This does not guarantee that there will be no ambiguity
when more objects are added to the repository.
These two files alone are not enough to implement a "--continue" that
remembers the command-line options specified; later patches in the
series save them too.
These new files are unrelated to the existing .git/CHERRY_PICK_HEAD,
which will still be useful while committing after a conflict
resolution.

The "--ff" command-line option cannot be used with some other

incompatible options into a replay_opts structure for use by the rest
of the program. Although pick_commits, the current gatekeeper to the
cherry-pick machinery, checks the validity of the replay_opts
structure before before starting its operation, there will be multiple
entry points to the cherry-pick machinery in future. To futureproof
the code and catch these errors in one place, make sure that an
invalid replay_opts structure is not created by parse_args in the
first place. We still check the replay_opts structure for validity in
pick_commits, but this is an assert() now to emphasize that it's the

The current code uses a set of file-scope static variables to tell the
cherry-pick/ revert machinery how to replay the changes, and
initializes them by parsing the command-line arguments. In later
steps in this series, we would like to introduce an API function that
calls into this machinery directly and have a way to tell it what to
do. Hence, introduce a structure to group these variables, so that
the API can take them as a single replay_options parameter. The only
exception is the variable "me" -- remove it since it not an
independent option, and can be inferred from the action.
Unfortunately, this patch introduces a minor regression. Parsing
strategy-option violates a C89 rule: Initializers cannot refer to
variables whose address is not known at compile time. Currently, this
rule is violated by some other parts of Git as well, and it is
possible to get GCC to report these instances using the "-std=c89
-pedantic" option.

The only place get_encoding uses the global "commit" variable is when
writing an error message explaining that its lone argument was NULL.
Since the function's only caller ensures that a NULL argument isn't
passed, we can remove this check with two beneficial consequences:
1. Since the function doesn't use the global "commit" variable any
more, it won't need to change when we eliminate the global variable

In order to do partial commits, git-commit overlays a tree on the
cache and checks pathspecs against the result. Currently, the
overlaying is done using "prefix" which prevents relative pathspecs
with ".." and absolute pathspec from matching when they refer to
files not under "prefix" and absent from the index, but still in
the tree (i.e. files staged for removal).
The point of providing a prefix at all is performance optimization.
If we say there is no common prefix for the files of interest, then
we have to read the entire tree into the index.
But even if we cannot use the working directory as a prefix, we can
still figure out if there is a common prefix for all given paths,
and use that instead. The pathspec_prefix() routine from ls-files.c
does exactly that.
Any use of global variables is removed from pathspec_prefix() so
that it can be called from commit.c.

The reset command creates its reflog entry from argv.
However, it does so after having run parse_options, which

for ORIG_HEAD (this is still somewhat superfluous, since we
are in the ORIG_HEAD reflog, obviously, but at least we now
mention which command was used to update it).
While we're at it, we can clean up the code a bit:
- Use strbufs to make the message.
- Use the "rev" parameter instead of showing all options.
This makes more sense, since it is the only thing
impacting the writing of the ref.

Change upload-pack and receive-pack to use the namespace-prefixed refs
when working with the repository, and use the unprefixed refs when
talking to the client, maintaining the masquerade. This allows
clone, pull, fetch, and push to work with a suitably configured
GIT_NAMESPACE.
receive-pack advertises refs outside the current namespace as .have refs
(as it currently does for refs in alternates), so that the client can
use them to minimize data transfer but will otherwise ignore them.
With appropriate configuration, this also allows http-backend to expose
namespaces as multiple repositories with different paths. This only
requires setting GIT_NAMESPACE, which http-backend passes through to
upload-pack and receive-pack.

This optimizes the "recency order" (see pack-heuristics.txt in
Documentation/technical/ directory) used to order objects within a
packfile in three ways:
- Commits at the tip of tags are written together, in the hope that
revision traversal done in incremental fetch (which starts by
putting them in a revision queue marked as UNINTERESTING) will see a
better locality of these objects;
- In the original recency order, trees and blobs are intermixed. Write
trees together before blobs, in the hope that this will improve
locality when running pathspec-limited revision traversal, i.e.
"git log paths...";
- When writing blob objects out, write the whole family of blobs that use
the same delta base object together, by starting from the root of the
delta chain, and writing its immediate children in a width-first
manner, in the hope that this will again improve locality when reading
blobs that belong to the same path, which are likely to be deltified
against each other.
I tried various workloads in the Linux kernel repositories (HEAD at
v3.0-rc6-71-g4dd1b49) packed with v1.7.6 and with this patch, counting how
large seeks are needed between adjacent accesses to objects in the pack,
and the result looks promising. The history has 2072052 objects, weighing

As the index-pack command already walks objects in the delta chain
order, writing the blobs out in the delta chain order seems to
drastically improve the locality of access.
Note that a half-a-gigabyte packfile comfortably fits in the buffer cache,
and you would unlikely to see much performance difference on a modern and
reasonably beefy machine with enough memory and local disks. Benchmarking
with cold cache (or over NFS) would be interesting.

Clone does all of init, "remote add", fetch, and checkout
without giving the user a chance to intervene and set any
configuration. This patch allows you to set config options
in the newly created repository after the clone, but before
we do any other operations.
In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something
like:
git clone git://...
git config core.whatever true
But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing
how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting
line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to
re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line
endings.
It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote
helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config
to influence how they operate.

The process for guessing an archive output format based on
the filename is something like this:
a. parse --output in cmd_archive; check the filename
against a static set of mapping heuristics (right now
it just matches ".zip" for zip files).
b. if found, stick a fake "--format=zip" at the beginning
of the arguments list (if the user did specify a
--format manually, the later option will override our
fake one)
c. if it's a remote call, ship the arguments to the remote
(including the fake), which will call write_archive on
their end
d. if it's local, ship the arguments to write_archive
locally
There are two problems:
1. The set of mappings is static and at too high a level.
The write_archive level is going to check config for
user-defined formats, some of which will specify
extensions. We need to delay lookup until those are
parsed, so we can match against them.
2. For a remote archive call, our set of mappings (or
formats) may not match the remote side's. This is OK in
practice right now, because all versions of git
understand "zip" and "tar". But as new formats are
added, there is going to be a mismatch between what the
client can do and what the remote server can do.
To fix (1), this patch refactors the location guessing to
happen at the write_archive level, instead of the
cmd_archive level. So instead of sticking a fake --format
field in the argv list, we actually pass a "name hint" down
the callchain; this hint is used at the appropriate time to
guess the format (if one hasn't been given already).
This patch leaves (2) unfixed. The name_hint is converted to
a "--format" option as before, and passed to the remote.
This means the local side's idea of how extensions map to
formats will take precedence.
Another option would be to pass the name hint to the remote
side and let the remote choose. This isn't a good idea for
two reasons:
1. There's no room in the protocol for passing that
information. We can pass a new argument, but older
versions of git on the server will choke on it.
2. Letting the remote side decide creates a silent
inconsistency in user experience. Consider the case
that the locally installed git knows about the "tar.gz"
format, but a remote server doesn't.
Running "git archive -o foo.tar.gz" will use the tar.gz
format. If we use --remote, and the local side chooses
the format, then we send "--format=tar.gz" to the
remote, which will complain about the unknown format.
But if we let the remote side choose the format, then
it will realize that it doesn't know about "tar.gz" and
output uncompressed tar without even issuing a warning.

Until now, "git tag -l foo* bar*" would silently ignore the
second argument, showing only refs starting with "foo". It's
not just unfriendly not to take a second pattern; we
actually generated subtly wrong results (from the user's
perspective) because some of the requested tags were
omitted.
This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the
command line; if any of them matches, the ref is shown.
While we're tweaking the documentation, let's also make it

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).

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

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.

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the

make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get

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.

This finally gets rid of the inefficient verify-pack implementation that
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"
to appear in the error message.

The "index-pack" machinery already has almost enough knowledge to produce

Add a few more command line options that do not have to be advertised to

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
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.

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.

In older versions of git, we used rfc822 header folding to
indicate that the original subject line had multiple lines
in it. But since a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header
lines, 2011-02-23), we now use header folding whenever there
is a long line.
This means that "git am" cannot trust header folding as a
sign from format-patch that newlines should be preserved.
Instead, format-patch needs to signal more explicitly that
the newlines are significant. This patch does so by
rfc2047-encoding the newlines in the subject line. No
changes are needed on the "git am" end; it already decodes
the newlines properly.

We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.
Let's clean this up in a few ways:
1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
functions, since we were just passing around the
context values separately.
2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
was passed around separately. That's one less argument
per function.
3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
calling a little more uniform.
This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

Without the "-k" option, mailinfo will convert a folded
subject header like:
Subject: this is a
subject that doesn't
fit on one line
into a single line. With "-k", however, we assumed that
these newlines were significant and represented something
that the sending side would want us to preserve.
For messages created by format-patch, this assumption was
broken by a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header lines,
2011-02-23). For messages sent by arbitrary MUAs, this was
probably never a good assumption to make, as they may have
been folding subjects in accordance with rfc822's line
length recommendations all along.
This patch now joins folded lines with a single whitespace
character. This treats header folding purely as a syntactic
feature of the transport mechanism, not as something that
format-patch is trying to tell us about the original
subject.

Commit 13fc2c1 (remote: disallow some nonsensical option
combinations, 2011-03-30) made it impossible to use "remote
add -t foo --mirror". The argument was that specifying
specific branches is useless because:
1. Push mirrors do not want a refspec at all.
2. The point of fetch mirroring is to use a broad refspec
like "refs/*", but using "-t" overrides that.
Point (1) is valid; "-t" with push mirrors is useless. But
point (2) ignored another side effect of using --mirror: it
fetches the refs directly into the refs/ namespace as they
are found upstream, instead of placing them in a
separate-remote layout.
So 13fc2c1 was overly constrictive, and disallowed
reasonable specific-branch mirroring, like:
git remote add -t heads/foo -t heads/bar --mirror=fetch
which makes the local "foo" and "bar" branches direct
mirrors of the remote, but does not fetch anything else.
This patch restores the original behavior, but only for
fetch mirrors.

When receiving a push, we advertise ref tips from any
alternate repositories, in case that helps the client send a
smaller pack. Since these refs don't actually exist in the
destination repository, we don't transmit the real ref
names, but instead use the pseudo-ref ".have".
If your alternate has a large number of duplicate refs (for
example, because it is aggregating objects from many related
repositories, some of which will have the same tags and
branch tips), then we will send each ".have $sha1" line
multiple times. This is a pointless waste of bandwidth, as
we are simply repeating the same fact to the client over and
over.
This patch eliminates duplicate .have refs early on. It does
so efficiently by sorting the complete list and skipping
duplicates. This has the side effect of re-ordering the
.have lines by ascending sha1; this isn't a problem, though,
as the original order was meaningless.
There is a similar .have system in fetch-pack, but it
does not suffer from the same problem. For each alternate
ref we consider in fetch-pack, we actually open the object
and mark it with the SEEN flag, so duplicates are
automatically culled.

The foreach_alt_odb function triggers a callback for each
alternate object db we have, with room for a single void
pointer as data. Currently, we always call refs_from_alternate_cb
as the callback function, and then pass another callback (to
receive each ref individually) as the void pointer.
This has two problems:
1. C technically forbids stuffing a function pointer into
a "void *". In practice, this probably doesn't matter
on any architectures git runs on, but it never hurts to
follow the letter of the law.
2. There is no room for an extra data pointer. Indeed, the
alternate_ref_fn that refs_from_alternate_cb calls
takes a void* for data, but we always pass it NULL.
Instead, let's properly stuff our function pointer into a
data struct, which also leaves room for an extra
caller-supplied data pointer. And to keep things simple for
existing callers, let's make a for_each_alternate_ref
function that takes care of creating the extra struct.

We add every local ref to a list so that we can mark them
and all of their ancestors back to a certain cutoff point.
However, if some refs point to the same commit, we will end
up adding them to the list many times.
Furthermore, since commit_lists are stored as linked lists,
we must do an O(n) traversal of the list in order to find
the right place to insert each commit. This makes building
the list O(n^2) in the number of refs.
For normal repositories, this isn't a big deal. We have a
few hundreds refs at most, and most of them are unique. But
consider an "alternates" repo that serves as an object
database for many other similar repos. For reachability, it
needs to keep a copy of the refs in each child repo. This
means it may have a large number of refs, many of which
point to the same commits.
By noting commits we have already added to the list, we can
shrink the size of "n" in such a repo to the number of
unique commits, which is on the order of what a normal repo
would contain (it's actually more than a normal repo, since child repos
may have branches at different states, but in practice it tends
to be much smaller than the list with duplicates).
Here are the results on one particular giant repo
(containing objects for all Rails forks on GitHub):

Allow taking more than one on the command line, and record their removal
as a single atomic event if everthing goes well.
Even though the old code insisted that "git notes rm" must be given only
one object (or zero, in which case it would default to HEAD), this
condition was not tested. Add tests to handle the new case where we feed
multiple objects, and also make sure if there is a bad input, no change

A test in t7501 used to ensure that this is not allowed; no need for that
anymore.

This patch makes git-grep die() when -P is used on command line together
with -E/--extended-regexp or -F/--fixed-strings.
This also makes it bail out when grep.extendedRegexp is enabled.
But `git grep -G -P pattern` and `git grep -E -G -P pattern` still work
because -G and -E set opts.regflags during parse_options() and there is
no way to detect `-G` or `-E -G`.

This patch teaches git-grep the --perl-regexp/-P options (naming
borrowed from GNU grep) in order to allow specifying PCRE regexes on the
command line.
PCRE has a number of features which make them more handy to use than
POSIX regexes, like consistent escaping rules, extended character
classes, ungreedy matching etc.
git isn't build with PCRE support automatically. USE_LIBPCRE environment
variable must be enabled (like `make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease`).

This is just like --porcelain, except that we always output
the commit information for each line, not just the first
time it is referenced. This can make quick and dirty scripts
much easier to write; see the example added to the blame
documentation.

This is in preparation for adding more porcelain output
options. The three changes are:
1. emit_porcelain now receives the format option flags
2. emit_one_suspect_detail takes an optional "repeat"
parameter to suppress the "show only once" behavior
3. The code for emitting porcelain suspect is factored
into its own function for repeatability.
There should be no functional changes.

The "format_check" parameter tucked after the existing parameters is too
ugly an afterthought to live in any reasonable API.
Combine it with the other boolean parameter "write_object" into a single
"flags" parameter.

This moves the two features from builtin/rerere.c to a more library-ish
portion of the codebase. No behaviour change.

Change the behaviour of git commit --interactive so that when you abort
the commit (by leaving the commit message empty) the index remains
unchanged.
Hitherto an aborted commit --interactive has added the selected hunks to
the index regardless of whether the commit succeeded or not.

Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.
Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.
Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.

The names and e-mails are sanitized by fmt_ident() when creating commits,
so that they do not contain "<" nor ">", and the "committer" and "author"
lines in the commit object will always be in the form:
("author" | "committer") name SP "<" email ">" SP timestamp SP zone
When parsing the email part out, the current code looks for SP starting
from the end of the email part, but the author could obfuscate the address
as "author at example dot com".
We should instead look for SP followed by "<", to match the logic of the
side that formats these lines.
