In the "next" branch, write_index_ext_header() writes garbage on a

$ git-write-tree
$ git-update-index

Martin Langhoff points out that "git repack -a" ends up using up a lot of
memory for big archives, and that git cvsimport probably should do only
incremental repacks in order to avoid having repacking flush all the
caches.
The big majority of the memory usage of repacking is from git rev-list
tracking all objects, and this patch should go a long way in avoiding the
excessive memory usage: the bulk of it was due to the object names being
leaked from the tree parser.
For the historic Linux kernel archive, this simple patch does:
Before:
/usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null
72.45user 0.82system 1:13.55elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+125376minor)pagefaults 0swaps
After:
/usr/bin/time git-rev-list --all --objects > /dev/null
75.22user 0.48system 1:16.34elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+43921minor)pagefaults 0swaps
where we do end up wasting a bit of time on some extra strdup()s (which
could be avoided, but that would require tracking where the pathnames came
from), but we avoid a lot of memory usage.
Minor page faults track maximum RSS very closely (each page fault maps in
one page into memory), so the reduction from 125376 page faults to 43921
means a rough reduction of VM footprint from almost half a gigabyte to
about a third of that. Those numbers were also double-checked by looking
at "top" while the process was running.
(Side note: at least part of the remaining VM footprint is the mapping of
the 177MB pack-file, so the remaining memory use is at least partly "well
behaved" from a project caching perspective).
For the current git archive itself, the memory usage for a "--all
--objects" rev-list invocation dropped from 7128 pages to 2318 (27MB to
9MB), so the reduction seems to hold for much smaller projects too.
For regular "git-rev-list" usage (ie without the "--objects" flag) this
patch has no impact.

The revision argument parsing was happily parsing "--abbrev", but it
didn't parse "--abbrev=<n>".
Which was hidden by the fact that the diff options _would_ parse
--abbrev=<n>, so it would actually silently parse it, it just
wouldn't use it for the same things that a plain "--abbrev" was
used for.
Which seems a bit insane.
With this patch, if you do "git log --abbrev=10" it will abbreviate the
merge parent commit ID's to ten hex characters, which was probably what
you expected.

We exited prematurely from header parsing loop when the header
field did not have a space after the colon but we insisted on
it, and we got the check wrong because we forgot that we strip
the trailing whitespace before we do the check.
The space after the colon is not even required by RFC2822, so
stop requiring it. While we are at it, the header line is
specified to be more strict than "anything with a colon in it"
(there must be one or more characters before the colon, and they
must not be controls, SP or non US-ASCII), so implement that
check as well, lest we mistakenly think something like:
Bogus not a header line: this is not.

Since the "a..b c..d" syntax is interpreted as "b ^a d ^c" as other
range-ish commands, if you want to format a..b and then c..d and end
up with files consecutively numbered, the second run needs to be able
to tell the command what number to start from.
This does not imply --numbered (which gives [PATCH n/m] to the subject).

Otherwise, if make is suspended, or killed with prejudice, or if the
system crashes, you could be left with an up-to-date, yet corrupt,
generated file.
I left off the `clean' addition, because I believe "make clean" should
not remove wildcard patterns like "*+", on the off-chance that someone
uses names like that for files they care about. Besides, in practice,
those temporary files are left behind so rarely that they're not a bother,
and they're removed again as part of the next build.

I was just testing that "git ls-remote" change by Junio, and when you're
not in a git repository, it gives this totally bogus warning. The _target_
obviously has to be a git repository, but there's no reason why you'd have
to be in a local git repo when doing an ls-remote.
The reason is commit 73136b2e8a by Dscho: it
adds calls to git-repo-config in git-parse-remote.sh to get the remote
shorthands etc.
Now, either we should just hide and ignore the error from git-repo-config
(probably bad, because some errors _are_ valid - like git-repo-config
failing due to bad syntax in the config file), or we should just make
git-repo-config quietly handle the case of not being in a git repository.
This does the latter: just quietly accepting (and doing nothing - trying
to set a value will result in the lock-file failing) our lot in life
sounds better than dying with a bogus error message.

If your repository have more roots than the remote repository
you ask an object for, the remote upload-pack keeps responding
"ack continue" until it fills up its received-have buffer
(currently 256 entries). Usually this is not a problem because
the requester stops traversing the ancestry chain from the commit
it gets "ack continue" for, but this mechanism does not work as
a roadblock when it traverses down the path to the root the
other side does not have.

This cleans up and future-proofs the sha1 file writing in sha1_file.c.
In particular, instead of doing a simple "write()" call and just verifying
that it succeeds (or - as in one place - just assuming it does), it uses
"write_buffer()" to write data to the file descriptor while correctly
checking for partial writes, EINTR etc.
It also splits up write_sha1_to_fd() to be a lot more readable: if we need
to re-create the compressed object, we do so in a separate helper
function, making the logic a whole lot more modular and obvious.

When there is no leading context, the patch must match at the

Unlike matching at the end case, we can additionally check the
