When asked if "refs///heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format says "Yes,
it is well formed", and when asked to print canonical form, it shows
"refs/heads/master". This is so that it can be tucked after "$GIT_DIR/"
to form a valid pathname for a loose ref, and we normalize a pathname like
"$GIT_DIR/refs///heads/master" to de-dup the slashes in it.
Similarly, when asked if "/refs/heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format
says "Yes, it is Ok", but the leading slash is not removed when printing,
leading to "$GIT_DIR//refs/heads/master".
Fix it to make sure such leading slashes are removed. Add tests that such
refnames are accepted and normalized correctly.

The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit
-C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between
objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'.
The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed
by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git
notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe).

fast-import allows to tag objects by sha1 and to query sha1 of objects
being imported. So it should allow to tag these objects, make it do so.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
fast-import allows to create an annotated tag that annotates a blob,
via mark or direct sha1 specification.
For mark it works, for sha1 it tries to read the object. It tries to
do so via read_sha1_file, and then checks the size to be at least 46.
That's weird, let's just allow to (annotated) tag any object referenced
by sha1. If the object originates from our packfile, we still fail though.

Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:
- If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.
- An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
repository.
This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

All branches in the Perforce server are downloaded to allow branch detection. If

branches this operation can take some time.
This patch adds the configuration option git-p4.branchUser to allow filtering
the branch list by user. Although this limits the branch maintenance in Perforce
to be done by a single user, it might be an advantage when the number of
branches being used in a specific depot is very small when compared with the
branches available in the server.

When branch detection is enabled each branch is named in git after their
relative depot path in Perforce. To do this the depot paths are compared against
each other to find their common base path. The current algorithm makes this
comparison on a character by character basis.
Assuming we have the following branches:
//depot/branches/featureA
//depot/branches/featureB
Then the base depot path would be //depot/branches/feature, which is an invalid
depot path.
The current patch fixes this by splitting the path into a list and comparing the
list entries, making it choose correctly //depot/branches as the base path.

Move git-dir for submodules into $GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule] of
the superproject. This is a step towards being able to delete submodule
directories without loosing the information from their .git directory
as that is now stored outside the submodules work tree.
This is done relying on the already existent .git-file functionality.
When adding or updating a submodule whose git directory is found under
$GIT_DIR/modules/[name_of_submodule], don't clone it again but simply
point the .git-file to it and remove the now stale index file from it.
The index will be recreated by the following checkout.
This patch will not affect already cloned submodules at all.

"git branch -M <foo> <current-branch>" allows updating the current branch
which HEAD points, without the necessary house-keeping that git reset
normally does to make this operation sensible. It also leaves the reflog
in a confusing state (you would be warned when trying to read it).
"git checkout -B <current branch> <foo>" is also partly vulnerable to this
bug; due to inconsistent pre-flight checks it would perform half of its
task and then abort just before rewriting the branch. Again this
manifested itself as the index file getting out-of-sync with HEAD.
"git branch -f" already guarded against this problem, and aborts with
a fatal error.
Update "git branch -M", "git checkout -B" and "git branch -f" to share the
same check before allowing a branch to be created. These prevent you from
updating the current branch.
We considered suggesting the use of "git reset" in the failure message
but concluded that it was not possible to discern what the user was
actually trying to do.

Delta base for blobs is chosen as a previously saved blob. If we
treat cat-blob's blob as a delta base for the next blob, nothing
is likely to become worse.
For fast-import stream producer like svn-fe cat-blob is used like
following:
- svn-fe reads file delta in svn format
- to apply it, svn-fe asks cat-blob 'svn delta base'
- applies 'svn delta' to the response
- produces a blob command to store the result
Currently there is no way for svn-fe to give fast-import a hint on
object delta base. While what's requested in cat-blob is most of
the time a best delta base possible. Of course, it could be not a
good delta base, but we don't know any better one anyway.
So do treat cat-blob's result as a delta base for next blob. The
profit is nice: 2x to 7x reduction in pack size AND 1.2x to 3x
time speedup due to diff_delta being faster on good deltas. git gc
--aggressive can compress it even more, by 10% to 70%, utilizing
more cpu time, real time and 3 cpu cores.
Tested on 213M and 2.7G fast-import streams, resulting packs are 22M
and 113M, import time is 7s and 60s, both streams are produced by
svn-fe, sniffed and then used as raw input for fast-import.
For git-fast-export produced streams there is no change as it doesn't
use cat-blob and doesn't try to reorder blobs in some smart way to
make successive deltas small.

It's an interesting number, how often do we try to deltify each type of
objects and how often do we succeed. So do add it to stats.
Success doesn't mean much gain in pack size though. As we allow delta to
be as big as (data.len - 20). And delta close to data.len gains nothing
compared to no delta at all even after zlib compression (delta is pretty
much the same as data, just with few modifications).
We should try to make less attempts that result in huge deltas as these
consume more cpu than trivial small deltas. Either by choosing a better
delta base or reducing delta size upper bound or doing less delta attempts
at all.
Currently, delta base for blobs is a waste literally. Each blob delta
base is chosen as a previously stored blob. Disabling deltas for blobs
doesn't increase pack size and reduce import time, or at least doesn't
increase time for all fast-import streams I've tried.

When working with submodules it is easy to forget to push a
submodule to the server but pushing a super-project that
contains a commit for that submodule. The result is that the
superproject points at a submodule commit that is not available
on the server.
This adds the option --recurse-submodules=check to push. When
using this option git will check that all submodule commits that
are about to be pushed are present on a remote of the submodule.

This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.
So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.
Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.
