b406a2d3e3 valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads
Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

808a95dcad diff --submodule: split into bite-sized pieces
Introduce two functions:

 - prepare_submodule_summary prepares the revision walker
   to list changes in a submodule.  That is, it:

   * finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
     path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
   * checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
   * prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
     difference between the commits at each endpoint.

   It returns nonzero on error.

 - print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
   the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

The goal is just readability.  No functional change intended.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

95a1d12e9b tests: scrub environment of GIT_* variables
Variables from the inherited environment that are meaningful to git
can break tests in undesirable ways.  For example,

	GIT_PAGER=more sh t5400-send-pack.sh -v -i

hangs.  So unset all environment variables in the GIT_ namespace in
test-lib, with a few exceptions:

- GIT_TRACE* are useful for tracking down bugs exhibited by a failing
  test;

- GIT_DEBUG* are GIT_TRACE variables by another name, practically
  speaking.  They should probably be tweaked to follow the
  GIT_TRACE_foo scheme and use trace_printf machinery some time.

- GIT_USE_LOOKUP from v1.5.6-rc0~134^2~1 (sha1-lookup: more memory
  efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1, 2007-12-29) is about
  trying an alternate implementation strategy rather than changing
  semantics and it can be useful to compare performance with and
  without it set.

test-lib sets $HOME to protect against pollution from user settings,
so setting GIT_ATTR_NOGLOBAL would be redundant.  Simplify by

GIT_ATTR_NOGLOBAL was introduced in v1.7.4-rc0~208^2 (Add global and
system-wide gitattributes, 2010-09-01) as an undocumented feature for
use by the test suite.  It never ended up being used (neither within
git.git nor in other projects).

3e63b21ace upload-pack: Implement no-done capability
If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then
upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first
'ACK %s ready' message.  The upload-pack response actually winds
up being:

  ACK %s common
  ... (maybe more) ...
  ACK %s ready
  NAK
  ACK %s
  PACK.... the pack stream ....

For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing
the overall latency for a trivial fetch.  For git:// and ssh://
a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one
server->client->server round-trip at the end of the common
ancestor negotiation.

761ecf0bc7 fetch-pack: Implement no-done capability
If enabled on the connection "multi_ack_detailed no-done" as a
pair allows the remote upload-pack process to send a PACK down
to the client as soon as a "ACK %s ready" message was also sent.

Over git:// and ssh:// where a bi-directional stream is in place
this has very little difference over the classical version that
waits for the client to send a "done\n" line by itself.  It does
slightly reduce the latency involved to start the pack stream as
there is one less round-trip from client->server required.

Over smart HTTP this avoids needing to send a final RPC that has
all of the prior common objects.  Instead the server is able to
return a pack as soon as its ready to.  For many common users the
smart HTTP fetch is now just 2 requests: GET .../info/refs, and
a POST .../git-upload-pack to not only negotiate but also receive
the pack stream.  Only users who have more than 32 local unshared
commits with the remote will need additional requests to negotiate
a common merge base.

49bee717f7 upload-pack: More aggressively send 'ACK %s ready'
If a client is merely following the remote (and has not made any
new commits itself), all "have %s" lines sent by the client will be
common to the server.  As all lines are common upload-pack never
calls ok_to_give_up() and does not compute if it has a good cut
point in the commit graph.

Without this computation the following client is going to send all
tagged commits, as these were determined to be COMMON_REF during the
initial advertisement, but the client does not parse their history
to transitively pass the COMMON flag and empty its queue of commits.

For git.git with 339 commit tags, it takes clients 11 rounds of
negotation to fully send all tagged commits and exhaust its queue
of things to send as common.  This is pretty slow for a client that
has not done any local development activity.

Force computing ok_to_give_up() and send "ACK %s ready" at the end
of the current round if this round only contained common objects
and ok_to_give_up() was therefore not called.  This may allow the
client to break early, avoiding transmission of the COMMON_REFs.

f2cba9299b fetch-pack: Finish negotation if remote replies "ACK %s ready"
If multi_ack_detailed was selected in the protocol capabilities
(both client and server are >= Git 1.6.6) the upload-pack side will
send "ACK %s ready" when it knows how to safely cut the graph and
produce a reasonable pack for the want list that was already sent
on the connection.

Upon receiving "ACK %s ready" there is no point in looking at
the remaining commits inside of rev_list.  Sending additional
"have %s" lines to the remote will not construct a smaller pack.
It is unlikely a commit older than the current cut point will have
a better delta base than the cut point itself has.

The original design of this code had fetch-pack empty rev_list by
marking a commit and its transitive ancestors COMMON whenever the
remote side said "ACK %s {continue,common}" and skipping over any
already COMMON commits during get_rev().  This approach does not
work when most of rev_list is actually COMMON_REF, commits that
are pointed to by a reference on the remote, which exist locally,
and which have not yet been sent to the remote as a "have %s" line.

Most of the common references are tags in the ref/tags namespace,
using points in the commit graph that are more than 1 commit apart.
In git.git itself, this is currently 340 tags, 339 of which point to
commits in the commit graph.  fetch-pack pushes all of these into
rev_list, but is unable to mark them COMMON and discard during a
remote's "ACK %s {continue,common}" because it does not parse through
the entire parent chain.  Not parsing the entire parent chain is
an optimization to avoid walking back to the roots of the repository.

Assuming the client is only following the remote (and does not make
its own local commits), the client needs 11 rounds to spin through
the entire list of tags (32 commits per round, ceil(339/32) == 11).
Unfortunately the server knows on the first "have %s" line that
it can produce a good pack, and does not need to see the remaining
320 tags in the other 10 rounds.

Over git:// and ssh:// this isn't as bad as it sounds, the client is
only transmitting an extra 16,000 bytes that it doesn't need to send.

Over smart HTTP, the client must do an additional 10 HTTP POST
requests, each of which incurs round-trip latency, and must upload
the entire state vector of all known common objects.  On the final
POST request, this is 16 KiB worth of data.

Fix all of this by clearing rev_list as soon as the remote side
says it can construct a pack.

26b59b4812 git stash: show status relative to current directory
git status shows modified paths relative to current directory, so it's
possible to copy&paste them directly, even if you're in a subdirectory.

But "git stash apply" always shows status from root of git repository.
This is misleading because you can't use the paths without modifications.

This is caused by changing directory to root of repository at the
beginning of git stash.

This patch makes git stash show status relative to current directory.
Instead of removing the "cd to toplevel", which would affect whole
script and might have other side-effects, the fix is to change directory
temporarily back to original dir just before displaying status.

f0c9fe0504 git-p4: test clone @all
Cloning a p4 depot by default generates a single commit.  The use
of the "@all" revision specifier instead tells git-p4 to import
all commits.  Check to make sure both these invocations work as
expected.

ac34efcf21 git-p4: fix clone @all regression
e32e00d (git-p4: better message for "git-p4 sync" when not cloned,
2011-02-19) broke the use of the "@all" revision specifier, e.g.,

    git-p4 clone //depot/xxx@all

Fix it as per Tor Arvid's quick patch.

d8f708f860 docs: point git.txt author credits to git-scm.com
There is a nice shortlog-ish output of the authors there. We
also point people directly to shortlog, but of course they
might be reading the documentation online or from a binary
package of git.

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

6ea922d596 doc: add missing git footers
Almost every page has a footer that links back to the main
git(1) page. Let's add it on the few that are missing it.

48bb914ed6 doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pages
The point of these sections is generally to:

  1. Give credit where it is due.

  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame.  For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.

So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.

Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.
