When running git describe --dirty the index should be refreshed. Previously
the cached index would cause describe to think that the index was dirty when,
in reality, it was just stale.
The issue was exposed by python setuptools which hardlinks files into another
directory when building a distribution.

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.

For the find_exact_renames() function, this allows us to pass the
diff_options structure pointer to the low-level routines. We will use
that to distinguish between the "rename" and "copy" cases.

Now that struct commit.util is not used until after we've checked that
the argument doesn't exactly match a tag, we can wait until then to
look up the commits for each tag.
This avoids a lot of I/O on --exact-match queries in repositories with
many tags. For example, 'git describe --exact-match HEAD' becomes
about 12 times faster on a cold cache (3.2s instead of 39s) in a
linux-2.6 repository with 2000 packed tags. That is a huge win for the
interactivity of the __git_ps1 shell prompt helper when on a detached
HEAD.

describe is currently forced to look up the commit at each tag in
order to store the struct commit_name pointers in struct commit.util.
For --exact-match queries, those lookups are wasteful. In preparation
for removing them, put the commit_names into a hash table, indexed by
commit SHA1, that can be used to quickly check for exact matches.

Now add_to_known_names overwrites commit_names in place when multiple
tags point to the same commit. This will make it easier to store
commit_names in a hash table.

Don't waste time checking for dangling refs; they wouldn't affect the
output of 'git describe' anyway. Although this does not gain much
performance by itself, it does in conjunction with the next commits.

Add commit_list prefix to insert_by_date function and to sort_by_date,
so it's clear that these functions refer to commit_list structure.

describe: Break annotated tag ties by tagger date
tag.c: Parse tagger date (if present)
tag.c: Refactor parse_tag_buffer to be saner to program
tag.h: Remove unused signature field

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
