This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

We used to depend on bignum from openssl for rev-list to compute
merge-order, but there is no reason to use different build
recipe from other programs anymore. Just build it with git-%$X
rule like everybody else.

Remove the shell-script version, make the hardlink from the git
binary, and update the documentation to describe a new option.

This attempts to set up built-in "git grep" to further reduce
our dependence on the shell, while at the same time optionally
allowing to run grep against object database. You could do
funky things like these:
git grep --cached -e pattern ;# grep from index
git grep -e pattern master ;# or in a rev
git grep -e pattern master next ;# or in multiple revs
git grep -e pattern pu^@ ;# even like this with an
;# extension from another topic ;-)
git grep -e pattern master..next ;# or even from rev ranges
git grep -e pattern master~20:Documentation
;# or an arbitrary tree
git grep -e pattern next:git-commit.sh
;# or an arbitrary blob
Right now, it does not understand and/or obey many options grep
should accept, and the pattern must be given with -e option due
to the way the parameter parser is structured, both of which
obviously need to be fixed for usability.
But this is going in the right direction. The shell script
version is one of the worst Portability offender in the git
barebone Porcelainish; it uses xargs -0 to pass paths around and
shell arrays to sift flags and parameters.

This adds a builtin "push" command, which is largely just a C'ification of
the "git-push.sh" script.
Now, the reason I did it as a built-in is partly because it's yet another
step on relying less on shell, but it's actually mostly because I've
wanted to be able to push to _multiple_ repositories, and the most obvious
and simplest interface for that would seem be to just have a "remotes"
file that has multiple URL entries.
(For "pull", having multiple entries should either just select the first
one, or you could fall back on the others on failure - your choice).
And quite frankly, it just became too damn messy to do that in shell.
Besides, we actually have a fair amount of infrastructure in C, so it just
wasn't that hard to do.
Of course, this is almost totally untested. It probably doesn't work for
anything but the one trial I threw at it. "Simple" doesn't necessarily
mean "obviously correct".

This brings another small repacking speedup for sensibly the same pack
size. On the Linux kernel repo, git-repack -a -f is 3.7% faster for a
0.4% larger pack.

This was useful in diagnosing the corrupt index.aux format
problem. But do not bother building or installing it by

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
The cache_tree data structure is to cache tree object names that
would result from the current index file.
The idea is to have an optional file to record each tree object
name that corresponds to a directory path in the cache when we
run write_cache(), and read it back when we run read_cache().
During various index manupulations, we selectively invalidate
the parts so that the next write-tree can bypass regenerating
tree objects for unchanged parts of the directory hierarchy.
We could perhaps make the cache-tree data an optional part of
the index file, but that would involve the index format updates,
so unless we need it for performance reasons, the current plan
is to use a separate file, $GIT_DIR/index.aux to store this
information and link it with the index file with the checksum
that is already used for index file integrity check.

This is the first installment to libify diff brothers.
The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions()
infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means
the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before.
The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from
the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher
way.
As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply
stupid, so I am renaming it back. The new diff-lib.c is to
contain pieces extracted from diff brothers.

Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands
("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the
informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version").

Retire git-unresolve and make it into "git-update-index --unresolve".
It processes all paths that follow.
During a merge, you would mark a path that is dealt with with:
$ git update-index hello
and you would "undo" it with:
$ git update-index --unresolve hello

This is an attempt to address the issue raised on #git channel
recently by Carl Worth.
After a conflicted automerge, "git diff" shows a combined diff
to give you how the tentative automerge result differs from
what came from each branch. During a complex merge, it is
tempting to be able to resolve a few paths at a time, mark
them "I've dealt with them" with git-update-index to unclutter
the next "git diff" output, and keep going. However, when the
final result does not compile or otherwise found to be a
mismerge, the workflow to fix the mismerged paths suddenly
changes to "git diff HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from our
HEAD before merging) and "git diff MERGE_HEAD -- path" (to get
a diff from theirs), and it cannot show the combined anymore.
With git-unresolve <paths>..., the versions from our branch and
their branch for specified blobs are placed in stage #2 and
stage #3, without touching the working tree files. This gives
you the combined diff back for easier review, along with
"diff --ours" and "diff --theirs".
One thing it does not do is to place the base in stage #1; this
means "diff --base" would behave differently between the run
immediately after a conflicted three-way merge, and the run
after an update-index by mistake followed by a git-unresolve.
We could theoretically run merge-base between HEAD and
MERGE_HEAD to find which tree to place in stage #1, but
reviewing "diff --base" is not that useful so....
