This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This
should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master.
Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some
progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional
component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are
really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go
away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several
repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible
to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes.
Rest in peace. (While you can.)

We used just the blessed() routine so steal it from Scalar/Util.pm.
Unfortunately, Scalar::Util is not bundled with older Perl versions.
This is a newer much saner blessed() version by Randal L. Schwarz.

Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when
you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either.
The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another
Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness
of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is
nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object
existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted
in the documentation.
At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other
potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be
doing ok.

This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.
It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet
but get_object() will in the next patches.

Back in the old days, we called Git's die() from the .xs code, but we had to
hijack Perl's die() for that. Now we don't call Git's die() so no need to do
the hijacking and it silences a compiler warning.

This makes us not include ppport.h which seems not to give us anything
real anyway; it is useful for checking for portability warts but since
Devel::PPPort is a portability wart itself, we shouldn't require it
for build. You can check for portability problems by calling make check
in perl/.

The syntax for 'require' was wrong, and it was always failing, which
resulted in installing our own version of Error.pm anyways.
Now we used to ship our own Error.pm in the same directory, so after
fixing the syntax, 'require' always succeeds, but it does not test if
the platform has Error.pm module installed anymore. So rename the
source we ship to private-Error.pm, and install that as Error.pm when
the platform does not have one already.

The code is stolen from git-annotate and completely untested since

seems to be horribly whitespace-unsafe.

- We passed our own *.a archives as LIBS to the submake that runs
in perl/; separate LIBS and EXTLIBS and pass the latter which
tells what the system libraries are used.
- The quoting of preprocesor symbol definitions passed down to
perl/ submake was loose and we lost double quotes around
include directives. Use *_SQ to quote them properly.
- The installation location of perl/ submake is not
architecture neutral anymore, so use SITEARCH instead of
SITELIB.

This patch adds support for subdirectories inside of working copies;
you can specify them in the constructor either as the Directory
option (it will just get autodetected using rev-parse) or explicitly
using the WorkingSubdir option. This makes Git->repository() do the
exact same path setup and repository lookup as the Git porcelain
does.
This patch also introduces repo_path(), wc_path() and wc_subdir()
accessor methods and wc_chdir() mutator.

This gives the user a way to easily pass options to the command routines.
Currently only the STDERR option is implemented and can be used to adjust
what shall be done with error output of the called command (most usefully,
it can be used to silence it).

Currently if an external command returns error exit code, a generic exception
is thrown and there is no chance for the caller to retrieve the command's
output.
This patch introduces a Git::Error::Command exception class which is thrown
in this case and contains both the error code and the captured command output.
You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception
while producing a user-friendly message.
It also adds command_close_pipe() for easier checking of exit status of
a command we have just a pipe handle of. It has partial forward dependency
on the next patch, but basically only in the area of documentation.

So far, errors just killed the whole program and in case of an error
inside of libgit it would be totally uncatchable. This patch makes
Git.pm throw standard Perl exceptions instead. In the future we might
subclass Error to Git::Error or something but for now Error::Simple
is more than enough.

I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best
way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have
decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions;
the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by
enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly.
The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be
part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is
a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since
it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it.

Instead of explicitly using the git wrapper to call external commands,
use the execv_git_cmd() function which will directly call whatever
needs to be called. GitBin option becomes useless so drop it.
This actually means the exec_path() thing I planned to use worthless
internally, but Jakub wants it in anyway and I don't mind, so...

This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module
with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like;
most functions are missing, but this should give some good base.
I will continue expanding it.
Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding
input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking
with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix.
Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv.
I will send them as follow-ups to this patch.
Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that
is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in
various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also
Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with
libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using
libgit.
This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as
an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result
is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this
one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around).
Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some
whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl);
at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this
is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend
the patch.
My current working state is available all the time at
http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm
