Checking out 2GB or more through an external filter (see test) fails
on Mac OS X 10.8.4 (12E55) for a 64-bit executable with:
error: read from external filter cat failed
error: cannot feed the input to external filter cat
error: cat died of signal 13
error: external filter cat failed 141
error: external filter cat failed
The reason is that read() immediately returns with EINVAL when asked
to read more than 2GB. According to POSIX [1], if the value of
nbyte passed to read() is greater than SSIZE_MAX, the result is
implementation-defined. The write function has the same restriction
[2]. Since OS X still supports running 32-bit executables, the
32-bit limit (SSIZE_MAX = INT_MAX = 2GB - 1) seems to be also
imposed on 64-bit executables under certain conditions. For write,
the problem has been addressed earlier [6c642a].
Address the problem for read() and write() differently, by limiting
size of IO chunks unconditionally on all platforms in xread() and
xwrite(). Large chunks only cause problems, like causing latencies
when killing the process, even if OS X was not buggy. Doing IO in
reasonably sized smaller chunks should have no negative impact on
performance.
The compat wrapper clipped_write() introduced earlier [6c642a] is
not needed anymore. It will be reverted in a separate commit. The
new test catches read and write problems.
Note that 'git add' exits with 0 even if it prints filtering errors
to stderr. The test, therefore, checks stderr. 'git add' should
probably be changed (sometime in another commit) to exit with
nonzero if filtering fails. The test could then be changed to use
test_must_fail.

By default, a missing filter driver or a failure from the filter driver is
not an error, but merely makes the filter operation a no-op pass through.
This is useful to massage the content into a shape that is more convenient
for the platform, filesystem, and the user to use, and the content filter
mechanism is not used to turn something unusable into usable.
However, we could also use of the content filtering mechanism and store
the content that cannot be directly used in the repository (e.g. a UUID
that refers to the true content stored outside git, or an encrypted
content) and turn it into a usable form upon checkout (e.g. download the
external content, or decrypt the encrypted content). For such a use case,
the content cannot be used when filter driver fails, and we need a way to
tell Git to abort the whole operation for such a failing or missing filter
driver.
Add a new "filter.<driver>.required" configuration variable to mark the
second use case. When it is set, git will abort the operation when the
filter driver does not exist or exits with a non-zero status code.

The last line of the test file "expanded-keywords" ended in a newline,
which is a valid terminator for ident. Use printf instead of echo to omit
it and thus really test if a file that ends unexpectedly in the middle of
an ident tag is handled properly.
Also take the oppertunity to calculate the expected ID dynamically
instead of hardcoding it into the test script. This should make future
changes easier.

The fake filter did not read from the standard input at all,
which caused the calling side to die with SIGPIPE, depending
on the timing.

Filtering to support keyword expansion may need the name of
the file being filtered. In particular, to support p4 keywords
like
$File: //depot/product/dir/script.sh $
the smudge filter needs to know the name of the file it is
smudging.
Allow "%f" in the custom filter command line specified in the
configuration. This will be substituted by the filename
inside a single-quote pair to be passed to the shell.

If there are foreign $Id$ keywords in the repository, they are most
likely there for a reason. Let's keep them on checkout (which is also
what the documentation indicates). Foreign $Id$ keywords are now
recognized by there being multiple space separated fields in $Id:xxxxx$.

The code to contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings could eat an arbitrary amount
of source text if the terminating $ was lost. It now refuses to
contract $Id:xxxxx$ strings spanning multiple lines.

On Windows, we need the shbang line to correctly invoke shell scripts via
a POSIX shell, except when the script is invoked via 'sh -c' because sh (a
bash) does "the right thing". But the clean and smudge filters will not
always be invoked via 'sh -c'; to futureproof, we should mark the the one
in t0021-conversion with #!$SHELL_PATH.

Solaris' /usr/bin/tr doesn't seem to like multiple character

Instead, let's just enumerate the transformation we want.

This test uses a rot13 filter, which is its own inverse. It tested only
that the content was the same as the original after both the 'clean' and
the 'smudge' filter were applied. This way it would not detect whether
any filter was run at all. Hence, here we add another test that checks
that the repository contained content that was processed by the 'clean'
filter.

This test case would have caught the bug fixed by revision
c23290d5.
It puts various forms of $Id$ into a file in the repository,
without allowing git to collapse them to uniformity. Then enables the
$Id$ expansion on checkout, and checks that what is checked out has
coped with the various forms.

$Id$ is present already in SVN and CVS; it would mean that people
converting their existing repositories won't have to make any changes to
the source files should they want to make use of the ident attribute.
Given that it's a feature that's meant to calm those very people, it
seems obtuse to make them edit every file just to make use of it.
I think that bzr uses $Id$; Mercurial has examples hooks for $Id$;
monotone has $Id$ on its wishlist. I can't think of a good reason not
to stick with the de-facto standard and call ours $Id$ instead of
$ident$.

The interface is similar to the custom low-level merge drivers.
First you configure your filter driver by defining 'filter.<name>.*'
variables in the configuration.
filter.<name>.clean filter command to run upon checkin
filter.<name>.smudge filter command to run upon checkout
Then you assign filter attribute to each path, whose name
matches the custom filter driver's name.
Example:
(in .gitattributes)
*.c filter=indent
(in config)
[filter "indent"]
clean = indent
smudge = cat

The 'ident' attribute set to path squashes "$ident:<any bytes
except dollor sign>$" to "$ident$" upon checkin, and expands it
to "$ident: <blob SHA-1> $" upon checkout.
As we have two conversions that affect checkin/checkout paths,
clarify how they interact with each other.
