7829f20f5b git-svn: don't sanitize remote names in config
The original sanitization code was just taken from the
remotes2config.sh shell script in contrib.

Credit to Avery Pennarun for noticing this mistake, and Junio
for clarifying the rules for config section names:

861d1af36a show_stats(): fix stats width calculation
Before this patch, name_width becomes negative or null for width values
less than 15 and name_width values greater than 25 (default: 50). This
leads to output random data.

This patch checks for minimal width and name_width values.

29c70e0b3e git-svn: avoid filling up the disk with temp files.
Commit ffe256f9ba ("git-svn: Speed up fetch")
introduced changes that create a temporary file for each object fetched by
svn.  These files should be deleted automatically, but perl apparently
doesn't do this until the process exits (or perhaps when its garbage
collector runs).

This means that on a large fetch, especially with lots of branches, we
sometimes fill up /tmp completely, which prevents the next temp file from
being written completely.  This is aggravated by the fact that a new temp
file is created for each updated file, even if that update produces a file
identical to one already in git.  Thus, it can happen even if there's lots
of disk space to store the finished repository.

We weren't adequately checking for write errors, so this would result in an
invalid file getting committed, which caused git-svn to fail later with an
invalid checksum.

This patch adds a check to syswrite() so similar problems don't lead to
corruption in the future.  It also unlink()'s each temp file explicitly
when we're done with it, so the disk doesn't need to fill up.

5b8e6f85f9 shrink git-shell by avoiding redundant dependencies
A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality
were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times.

This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by:
1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell;
2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the
   later self sufficient;
3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file.

The following numbers have been received with the default optimization
settings on master using GCC 4.1.2:

Before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 143915    1348   93168  238431   3a35f git-shell

2dce956e39 help: check early if we have a command, if not try a documentation topic
Before this patch, something like "git help tutorial" did not work,
people had to use "git help gittutorial" which is not very intuitive.

This patch uses the "is_git_command" function to test early if the
argument passed to "git help" is a git command, and if this is not the
case then we prefix the argument with "git" instead of "git-".

This way, things like "git help tutorial" or "git help glossary" will
work fine.

The little downside of this patch is that the "is_git_command" is a
little bit slow.

7a07841c0b git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once better
When working with a lot of people who backport patches all day long, every
once in a while I get a patch that modifies the same file more than once
inside the same patch.  git-apply either fails if the second change relies
on the first change or silently drops the first change if the second change
is independent.

The silent part is the scary scenario for us.  Also this behaviour is
different from the patch-utils.

I have modified git-apply to create a table of the filenames of files it
modifies such that if a later patch chunk modifies a file in the table it
will buffer the previously changed file instead of reading the original file
from disk.

Logic has been put in to handle creations/deletions/renames/copies.  All the
relevant tests of git-apply succeed.

A new test has been added to cover the cases I addressed.

The fix is relatively straight-forward.

6315472eed fetch: report local storage errors in status table
Previously, if there was an error while storing a local
tracking ref, the low-level functions would report an error,
but fetch's status output wouldn't indicate any problem.
E.g., imagine you have an old "refs/remotes/origin/foo/bar" but
upstream has deleted "foo/bar" in favor of a new branch
"foo". You would get output like this:

  error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
  From $url_of_repo
   * [new branch]      foo        -> origin/foo

With this patch, the output takes into account the status of
updating the local ref:

  error: there are still refs under 'refs/remotes/origin/foo'
  From $url_of_repo
   ! [new branch]      foo        -> origin/foo  (unable to update local ref)

4c2d5d722c Add 'git-p4.allowSubmit' to git-p4
I'm working with a perforce repo using git-p4. There are some config
files which I need to change locally according to my environment. I'm
using a 'local' git branch to park these changes. And I want to avoid
accidentally checking them into p4 just by doing "git p4 submit"
mindlessly without realizing which branch I'm actually on.

This patch adds a new git config, 'git-p4.allowSubmit', which is a
whitelist of branch names. "git p4 submit" will only allow submissions
from local branches on the list. Useful for preventing inadvertently
submitting from a strictly local branch.

For backward compatibility, if this config is not set at all,
submissions from all branches are allowed.

cc3b7a9732 Windows: Make 'git help -a' work.
git help -a scans the PATH for git commands. On Windows it failed for two
reasons:

- The PATH separator is ';', not ':' on Windows.

- stat() does not set the executable bit.

We now open the file and guess whether it is executable.

The result of the guess is good enough for the list of git commands, but
it is of no use for a general stat() implementation because (1) it is a
guess, (2) the user has no way to influence the outcome (via chmod or
similar), and (3) it would reduce stat() performance by an unacceptable
amount. Therefore, this strategy is a special-case local to help.c.

5411bdc4e4 Windows: Add a new lstat and fstat implementation based on Win32 API.
This gives us a significant speedup when adding, committing and stat'ing files.
Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, we let stat just uses lstat.
We also need to replace fstat, since our implementation and the standard stat()
functions report slightly different timestamps, possibly due to timezones.

We simply report UTC in our implementation, and do our FILETIME to time_t
conversion based on the document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167296.

With Moe's repo structure (100K files in 100 dirs, containing 2-4 bytes)
    mkdir bummer && cd bummer; for ((i=0;i<100;i++)); do
      mkdir $i && pushd $i;
        for ((j=0;j<1000;j++)); do echo "$j" >$j; done;
      popd;
    done

We get the following performance boost:

7e5d776854 Windows: Implement a custom spawnve().
The problem with Windows's own implementation is that it tries to be
clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this
case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a
consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the
console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now
directed to nowhere.

In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(),
which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side
effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from
C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles,
etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get
enough information to access them.

Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various
*execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'.

746fb85744 Windows: Implement wrappers for gethostbyname(), socket(), and connect().
gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library,
and it is wrapped only to initialize the library.

socket() is wrapped for two reasons:
- Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles,
  and they must be converted into file descriptors first.
- And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile()
  because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket()
  to create non-overlapped IO sockets.

connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level
sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor
before we can pass it on to Windows's connect().
