51822653f5 Win32: reliably detect console pipe handles
As of "Win32: Thread-safe windows console output", child processes may
print to the console even if stdout has been redirected to a file. E.g.:

 git config tar.cat.command "cat"
 git archive -o test.cat HEAD

Detecting whether stdout / stderr point to our console pipe is currently
based on the assumption that OS HANDLE values are never reused. This is
apparently not true if stdout / stderr is replaced via dup2() (as in
builtin/archive.c:17).

Instead of comparing handle values, check if the file descriptor isatty()
backed by a pipe OS handle. This is only possible by swapping the handles
in MSVCRT's internal data structures, as we do in winansi_init().

17f9836c8a gitk: Show staged submodules regardless of ignore config
Currently setting submodule.<name>.ignore and/or diff.ignoreSubmodules to
"all" suppresses all output of submodule changes for gitk. This is really
confusing, as even when the user chooses to record a new commit for an
ignored submodule by adding it manually this change won't show up under
"Local changes checked in to index but not committed".

Fix that by using the '--ignore-submodules=dirty' option for both callers
of "git diff-index --cached" when the underlying git version supports that
option.

56f24e80f0 completion: handle '!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '...' -" aliases
'!f() { ... }; f' and "!sh -c '....' -" are recommended patterns for
declaring more complex aliases (see git wiki [1]).  This commit teaches
the completion to handle them.

When determining which completion to use for an alias, an opening brace
or single quote is now skipped, and the search for a git command is
continued.  For example, the aliases '!f() { git commit ... }' or "!sh
-c 'git commit ...'" now trigger commit completion.  Previously, the
search stopped on the opening brace or quote, and the completion tried
it to determine how to complete, which obviously was useless.

The null command ':' is now skipped, so that it can be used as
a workaround to declare the desired completion style.

For example, the aliases

    !f() { : git commit ; if ... } f
    !sh -c ': git commit; if ...' -

now trigger commit completion.

Shell function declarations now work with or without space before
the parens, i.e. '!f() ...' and '!f () ...' both work.

218aa3a616 reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).

However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:

  [baseline, no signatures]
  $ time git log >/dev/null
  real    0m4.902s
  user    0m4.784s
  sys     0m0.120s

  [before]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m14.735s
  user    0m9.964s
  sys     0m0.944s

  [after]
  $ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
  real    0m9.981s
  user    0m5.260s
  sys     0m0.936s

Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.

An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.

8597ea3afe commit: record buffer length in cache
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.

For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.

This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

c1b3c71f4b commit: convert commit->buffer to a slab
This will make it easier to manage the buffer cache
independently of the "struct commit" objects. It also
shrinks "struct commit" by one pointer, which may be
helpful.

Unfortunately it does not reduce the max memory size of
something like "rev-list", because rev-list uses
get_cached_commit_buffer() to decide not to show each
commit's output (and due to the design of slab_at, accessing
the slab requires us to extend it, allocating exactly the
same number of buffer pointers we dropped from the commit
structs).

b66103c3ba convert logmsg_reencode to get_commit_buffer
Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.

We return either:

  1. The original commit->buffer

  2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file

  3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).

while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

ba41c1c93f use get_commit_buffer to avoid duplicate code
For both of these sites, we already do the "fallback to
read_sha1_file" trick. But we can shorten the code by just
using get_commit_buffer.

Note that the error cases are slightly different when
read_sha1_file fails. get_commit_buffer will die() if the
object cannot be loaded, or is a non-commit.

For get_sha1_oneline, this will almost certainly never
happen, as we will have just called parse_object (and if it
does, it's probably worth complaining about).

For record_author_date, the new behavior is probably better;
we notify the user of the error instead of silently ignoring
it. And because it's used only for sorting by author-date,
somebody examining a corrupt repo can fallback to the
regular traversal order.

long run we may want to switch these code paths to make

152ff1cceb provide helpers to access the commit buffer
Many sites look at commit->buffer to get more detailed
information than what is in the parsed commit struct.
However, we sometimes drop commit->buffer to save memory,
in which case the caller would need to read the object
afresh. Some callers do this (leading to duplicated code),
and others do not (which opens the possibility of a segfault
if somebody else frees the buffer).

Let's provide a pair of helpers, "get" and "unuse", that let
callers easily get the buffer. They will use the cached
buffer when possible, and otherwise load from disk using
read_sha1_file.

Note that we also need to add a "get_cached" variant which
returns NULL when we do not have a cached buffer. At first
glance this seems to defeat the purpose of "get", which is
to always provide a return value. However, some log code
paths actually use the NULL-ness of commit->buffer as a
boolean flag to decide whether to try printing the
commit. At least for now, we want to continue supporting
that use.

0fb370da9c provide a helper to free commit buffer
This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.

Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it.  But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual).  In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.

Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we
abstract the commit_buffer code, this dependency becomes
less obvious. So when we detach, let's also make sure that
we get back the same buffer that we gave to the
commit_buffer code.

c18b80a0e8 update-index: new options to enable/disable split index mode
If you have a large work tree but only make changes in a subset, then
$GIT_DIR/index's size should be stable after a while. If you change
branches that touch something else, $GIT_DIR/index's size may grow
large that it becomes as slow as the unified index. Do --split-index
again occasionally to force all changes back to the shared index and
keep $GIT_DIR/index small.

b3c96fb158 split-index: strip pathname of on-disk replaced entries
We know the positions of replaced entries via the replace bitmap in
"link" extension, so the "name" path does not have to be stored (it's
still in the shared index). With this, we also have a way to
distinguish additions vs replacements at load time and can catch
broken "link" extensions.

ce7c614bce split-index: do not invalidate cache-tree at read time
We are sure that after merge_base_index() is done. cache-tree can
still be used with the final index. So don't destroy cache tree.

76b07b37a3 split-index: the reading part
CE_REMOVE'd entries are removed here because only parts of the code
base (unpack_trees in fact) test this bit when they look for the
presence of an entry. Leaving them may confuse the code ignores this
bit and expects to see a real entry.

96a1d8d34c split-index: the writing part
prepare_to_write_split_index() does the major work, classifying
deleted, updated and added entries. write_link_extension() then just
writes it down.

An observation is, deleting an entry, then adding it back is recorded
as "entry X is deleted, entry X is added", not "entry X is replaced".
This is simpler, with small overhead: a replaced entry is stored
without its path, a new entry is store with its path.

A note about unpack_trees() and the deduplication code inside
prepare_to_write_split_index(). Usually tracking updated/removed
entries via read-cache API is enough. unpack_trees() manipulates the
index in a different way: it throws the entire source index out,
builds up a new one, copying/duplicating entries (using dup_entry)
from the source index over if necessary, then returns the new index.

A naive solution would be marking the entire source index "deleted"
and add their duplicates as new. That could bring $GIT_DIR/index back
to the original size. So we try harder and memcmp() between the
original and the duplicate to see if it needs updating.

We could avoid memcmp() too, by avoiding duplicating the original
entry in dup_entry(). The performance gain this way is within noise
level and it complicates unpack-trees.c. So memcmp() is the preferred
way to deal with deduplication.
