The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes
looks like this, causing confusion:
$ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git
error: could not commit config file .git/config
# Huh?!
# I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file!
While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb
'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader
context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning,
hence the confusion.
Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could
not commit".
While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the
config file or the credential store fails to provide some information
about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error
message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error
messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error
description).

strncpy is known to be a confusing function because of its
termination semantics. These calls are all correct, but it
takes some examination to see why. In particular, every one
of them expects to copy up to the length limit, and then
makes some arrangement for terminating the result.
We can just use memcpy, along with noting explicitly how the
result is terminated (if it is not already obvious). That
should make it more clear to a reader that we are doing the
right thing.

When we already know the length of a string (e.g., because
we just malloc'd to fit it), it's nicer to use memcpy than
strcpy, as it makes it more obvious that we are not going to
overflow the buffer (because the size we pass matches the
size in the allocation).
This also eliminates calls to strcpy, which make auditing
the code base harder.

When we are allocating a struct with a FLEX_ARRAY member, we
generally compute the size of the array and then sprintf or
strcpy into it. Normally we could improve a dynamic allocation
like this by using xstrfmt, but it doesn't work here; we
have to account for the size of the rest of the struct.
But we can improve things a bit by storing the length that
we use for the allocation, and then feeding it to xsnprintf
or memcpy, which makes it more obvious that we are not
writing more than the allocated number of bytes.
It would be nice if we had some kind of helper for
allocating generic flex arrays, but it doesn't work that
well:
- the call signature is a little bit unwieldy:
d = flex_struct(sizeof(*d), offsetof(d, path), fmt, ...);
You need offsetof here instead of just writing to the
end of the base size, because we don't know how the
struct is packed (partially this is because FLEX_ARRAY
might not be zero, though we can account for that; but
the size of the struct may actually be rounded up for
alignment, and we can't know that).
- some sites do clever things, like over-allocating because
they know they will write larger things into the buffer
later (e.g., struct packed_git here).
So we're better off to just write out each allocation (or
add type-specific helpers, though many of these are one-off
allocations anyway).

We generally use 32-byte buffers to format git's "type size"
header fields. These should not generally overflow unless
you can produce some truly gigantic objects (and our types
come from our internal array of constant strings). But it is
a good idea to use xsnprintf to make sure this is the case.
Note that we slightly modify the interface to
write_sha1_file_prepare, which nows uses "hdrlen" as an "in"
parameter as well as an "out" (on the way in it stores the
allocated size of the header, and on the way out it returns
the ultimate size of the header).

When fast-import emits a crash report, it does so in the
user's local timezone. But because we omit the timezone
completely for DATE_LOCAL, a reader of the report does not
immediately know which time zone was used. Let's switch this
to ISO8601 instead, which includes the time zone.
This does mean we will show the time in UTC, but that's not
a big deal. A crash report like this will either be looked
at immediately (in which case nobody even looks at the
timestamp), or it will be passed along to a developer to
debug, in which case the original timezone is less likely to
be of interest.

Because git_path uses a static buffer that is shared with
calls to git_path, mkpath, etc, it can be dangerous to
assign the result to a variable or pass it to a non-trivial
function. The value may change unexpectedly due to other
calls.
None of the cases changed here has a known bug, but they're
worth converting away from git_path because:
1. It's easy to use git_pathdup in these cases.
2. They use constructs (like assignment) that make it
hard to tell whether they're safe or not.
The extra malloc overhead should be trivial, as an
allocation should be an order of magnitude cheaper than a
system call (which we are clearly about to make, since we
are constructing a filename). The real cost is that we must
remember to free the result.

Often a fast-import stream builds a new commit on top of the

inefficient. Optimize for this common case.

When building a fast-import stream, it's easy to forget the fact
that for non-merge commits happening on top of the current branch
head, there is no need for a "from" command. That is corroborated by
the fact that at least git-p4, hg-fast-export and felipec's
git-remote-hg all unconditionally use a "from" command.
Unfortunately, giving a "from" command always resets the branch
tree, forcing it to be re-read, and in many cases, the pack is also
closed and reopened through gfi_unpack_entry. Both are unnecessary
overhead, and the latter is particularly slow at least on OSX.
Avoid resetting the tree when it's unmodified, and avoid calling
gfi_unpack_entry when the given mark points to the same commit as
the current branch head.

In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.
Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:
show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);
Ideally we could say:
show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });
but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:
1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
statement).
2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
"date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
is defined in one place.
3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
matter.
This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

When an import has finished, we run end_packfile() to
finalize the data and move the packfile into place. If this
process fails, we call die() and end up in our die_nicely()
handler. Which unfortunately includes running end_packfile
to save any progress we made. We enter the function again,
and start operating on the pack_data struct while it is in
an inconsistent state, leading to a segfault.
One way to trigger this is to simply start two identical
fast-imports at the same time. They will both create the
same packfiles, which will then try to create identically
named ".keep" files. One will win the race, and the other
will die(), and end up with the segfault.
Since 3c078b9, we already reset the pack_data pointer to
NULL at the end of end_packfile. That covers the case of us
calling die() right after end_packfile, before we have
reinitialized the pack_data pointer. This new problem is
quite similar, except that we are worried about calling
die() _during_ end_packfile, not right after. Ideally we
would simply set pack_data to NULL as soon as we enter the
function, and operate on a copy of the pointer.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy. pack_data is a global, and
end_packfile calls into other functions which operate on the
global directly. We would have to teach each of these to
take an argument, and there is no guarantee that we would
catch all of the spots.
Instead, we can simply use a static flag to avoid
recursively entering the function. This is a little less
elegant, but it's short and fool-proof.

Many of the date functions write into fixed-size buffers.
This is a minor pain, as we have to take special

sometimes use strcpy!).
Let's instead teach parse_date, datestamp, etc to write to a
strbuf. The obvious downside is that we might need to
perform a heap allocation where we otherwise would not need
to. However, it turns out that the only two new allocations
required are:
1. In test-date.c, where we don't care about efficiency.
2. In determine_author_info, which is not performance
critical (and where the use of a strbuf will help later

We have a global pointer pack_data pointing to the current

pointers, old_p and new_p. The latter points to pack_data,
and the former points to the new "installed" version of the
packfile we get when we hand the file off to the regular
sha1_file machinery. When then free old_p.
Presumably the extra old_p pointer was there so that we
could overwrite pack_data with new_p and still free old_p,
but we don't do that. We just leave pack_data pointing to
bogus memory, and don't overwrite it until we call
start_packfile again (if ever).
This can cause problems for our die routine, which calls
end_packfile to clean things up. If we die at the wrong
moment, we can end up looking at invalid memory in
pack_data left after the last end_packfile().
Instead, let's make sure we set pack_data to NULL after we
free it, and make calling endfile() again with a NULL
pack_data a noop (there is nothing to end).
We can further make things less confusing by dropping old_p
entirely, and moving new_p closer to its point of use.

When we see a file change in a commit, we expect one of:

2. An "inline" keyword.
3. An object sha1.
The handling of spaces is inconsistent between the three
options. Option 1 calls a sub-function which checks for the
space, but doesn't parse past it. Option 2 parses the space,
then deliberately avoids moving the pointer past it. Option
3 detects the space locally but doesn't move past it.
This is confusing, because it looks like option 1 forgets to
check for the space (it's just buried). And option 2 checks
for "inline ", but only moves strlen("inline") characters
forward, which looks like a bug but isn't.
We can make this more clear by just having each branch move
