It is an unimportant implementation detail that branches and tags are
stored somewhere under $GIT_DIR/refs directory. What is more important
is that branches live in refs/heads and tags live in refs/tags hierarchy
in the ref namespace.

It was correct to say "The file $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/master stores the
commit object name at the tip of the master branch" in the older days,
but not anymore, as refs can be packed into $GIT_DIR/packed-refs file.
Update the document to talk in terms of a more abstract concept "ref" and
"symbolic ref" where we are not describing the underlying implementation
detail.
This on purpose leaves two instances of $GIT_DIR/ in the git-remote
documentation; they do talk about $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/
file hierarchy that used to be the place to store configuration around
remotes before the configuration mechanism took them over.

Some profiling tools (e.g., google-perftools and mutrace) work by
linking in a new library into the executables. When using these tools
it is convenient to only relink instead of doing a full make clean;
make cycle.
This change complements the auto-detection of changes to CFLAGS that
we already have. Tracking of more variables that affect the build can
be added when the need arise.

Earlier 7974843 (compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat
lessor impact, 2008-10-23) fixed the low-level "do we use cygwin specific
hacks for stat/lstat?" logic not to call into git_default_config() from
random codepaths that are typically very late in the program, to prevent
the call from potentially overwriting other variables that are initialized
from the configuration.
However, it forgot that on Cygwin, trust-executable-bit should default to
true.

When on-demand mode was active examining the new commits just fetched in
the superproject (to check if they record commits for submodules which are
not downloaded yet) wasn't done recursively. Because of that fetch did not
recursively fetch submodules living in subdirectories even when it should
have.
Fix that by adding the RECURSIVE flag to the diff_options used to check
the new commits and avoid future regressions in this area by moving a
submodule in t5526 into a subdirectory.

Until now, "git tag -l foo* bar*" would silently ignore the
second argument, showing only refs starting with "foo". It's
not just unfriendly not to take a second pattern; we
actually generated subtly wrong results (from the user's
perspective) because some of the requested tags were
omitted.
This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the
command line; if any of them matches, the ref is shown.
While we're tweaking the documentation, let's also make it
clear that the pattern is fnmatch.

Consider this graph:
D---E (topic, HEAD)
/ /
A---B---C (master)
\
F (topic2)
and the following three commands:
1. git rebase -i -p A
2. git rebase -i -p --onto F A
3. git rebase -i -p B
Currently, (1) and (2) will pick B, D, C, and E onto A and F,
respectively. However, (3) will only pick D and E onto B, but not C,
which is inconsistent with (1) and (2). As a result, we cannot modify C
during the interactive-rebase.
The current behavior also creates a bug if we do:
4. git rebase -i -p C
In (4), E is never picked. And since interactive-rebase resets "HEAD"
to "onto" before picking any commits, D and E are lost after the
interactive-rebase.
This patch fixes the inconsistency and bug by ensuring that all children
of upstream are always picked. This essentially reverts the commit:
d80d6bc146
When compiling the todo list, commits reachable from "upstream" should
never be skipped under any conditions. Otherwise, we lose the ability
to modify them like (3), and create a bug like (4).
Two of the tests contain a scenario like (3). Since the new behavior
added more commits for picking, these tests need to be updated to
account for the additional pick lines. A new test has also been added
for (4).

When we run tests under valgrind, we symlink anything
executable that starts with git-* or test-* into a special
valgrind bin directory, and then make that our
GIT_EXEC_PATH.
However, shell libraries like git-sh-setup do not have the
executable bit marked, and did not get symlinked. This
means that any test looking for shell libraries in our
exec-path would fail to find them, even though that is a
fine thing to do when testing against a regular git build
(or in a git install, for that matter).
t2300 demonstrated this problem. The fix is to symlink these
shell libraries directly into the valgrind directory.

The valgrind target just reinvokes make with GIT_TEST_OPTS
set to "--valgrind". However, it does this using an
environment variable, which means GIT_TEST_OPTS in your
config.mak would override it, and "make valgrind" would
simply run the test suite without valgrind on.
Instead, we should pass GIT_TEST_OPTS on the command-line,
overriding what's in config.mak, and take care to append to
whatever the user has there already.

Update zlib_post_call() that adjusts the wrapper's notion of avail_in and
avail_out to what came back from zlib, so that the callers can feed
buffers larger than than 4GB to the API.
When underlying inflate/deflate stopped processing because we fed a buffer
larger than 4GB limit, detect that case, update the state variables, and
let the zlib function work another round.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

Wrap deflateInit, deflate, and deflateEnd for everybody, and the sole use
of deflateInit2 in remote-curl.c to tell the library to use gzip header
and trailer in git_deflate_init_gzip().
There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.

v1.7.6-rc0~27^2~4 (gitweb: Change the way "content tags" ('ctags') are
handled, 2011-04-29) tried to make gitweb's tag cloud feature more
intuitive for webmasters by checking whether the ctags/<label> under
a project's .git dir contains a number (representing the strength of
association to <label>) before treating it as one.
With that change, after putting '$feature{'ctags'}{'default'} = [1];'
in your $GITWEB_CONFIG, you could do
echo Linux >.git/ctags/linux
and gitweb would treat that as a request to tag the current repository
with the Linux tag, instead of the previous behavior of writing an
error page embedded in the projects list that triggers error messages
from Chromium and Firefox about malformed XML.
Unfortunately the pattern (\d+) used to match numbers is too loose,
and the "XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document"
error can still be experienced if you write "Linux-2.6" in place of
"Linux" in the example above. Fix it by tightening the pattern to
^\d+$.

Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.
This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.
Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

When create a new branch, we fed "refs/heads/<proposed name>" as a string
to get_sha1() and expected it to fail when a branch already exists.
The right way to check if a ref exists is to check with resolve_ref().
A naïve solution that might appear attractive but does not work is to
forbid slashes in get_describe_name() but that will not work. A describe
name is is in the form of "ANYTHING-g<short sha1>", and that ANYTHING part
comes from a original tag name used in the repository the user ran the
describe command. A sick user could have a confusing hierarchical tag
whose name is "refs/heads/foobar" (stored as refs/tags/refs/heads/foobar")
to generate a describe name "refs/heads/foobar-6-g02ac983", and we should
be able to use that name to refer to the object whose name is 02ac983.
