825769a8fe Teach fast-import how to clear the internal branch content.
Some frontends may not be able to (easily) keep track of which files
are included in the branch, and which aren't.  Performing this
tracking can be tedious and error prone for the frontend to do,
especially if its foreign data source cannot supply the changed
path list on a per-commit basis.

fast-import now allows a frontend to request that a branch's tree
be wiped clean (reset to the empty tree) at the start of a commit,
allowing the frontend to feed in all paths which belong on the branch.

This is ideal for a tar-file importer frontend, for example, as
the frontend just needs to reformat the tar data stream into a gfi
data stream, which may be something a few Perl regexps can take
care of. :)

7073e69e38 Don't do non-fastforward updates in fast-import.
If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of
a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another
process updates the same ref at the same time.  For example, the
user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits
against a live branch.

We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process.
If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost,
we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error.

This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like
git-push and git-fetch.

63e0c8b364 Support RFC 2822 date parsing in fast-import.
Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion.  This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.

The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported.  Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.

Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp.  The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.

As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format.  Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

We at least know that the test as written has a problem in an
environment where "touch '$p'; ls | fgrep '$p'" fails, and have
a clear understand why it fails.

This tests if the filesystem has that particular issue we know "git

1f7d1a53fe git-clone --reference: saner handling of borrowed symrefs.
When using --reference to borrow objects from a neighbouring
repository while cloning, we copy the entire set of refs under
temporary "refs/reference-tmp/refs" space and set up the object
alternates.  However, a textual symref copied this way would not
point at the right place, and causes later steps to emit error
messages (which is harmless but still alarming).  This is most
visible when using a clone created with the separate-remote
layout as a reference, because such a repository would have
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD with 'ref: refs/remotes/origin/master'
as its contents.

Although we do not create symbolic-link based refs anymore, they
have the same problem because they are always supposed to be
relative to refs/ hierarchy (we dereference by hand, so it only
is good for HEAD and nothing else).

In either case, the solution is simply to remove them after
copying under refs/reference-tmp; if a symref points at a true
ref, that true ref itself is enough to ensure that objects
reachable from it do not needlessly get fetched.

183d79724f Keep untracked files not involved in a merge.
My earlier fix (8371234e) to delete renamed tracked files from the
working directory also caused merge-recursive to delete untracked
files that were in the working directory.

The problem here is merge-recursive is deleting the working directory
file without regard for which branch it was associated with.  What we
really want to do during a merge is to only delete files that were
renamed by the branch we are merging into the current branch,
and that are still tracked by the current branch.  These files
definitely don't belong in the working directory anymore.

Anything else is either a merge conflict (already handled in other
parts of the code) or a file that is untracked by the current branch
and thus is not even participating in the merge.  Its this latter
class that must be left alone.

For this fix to work we are now assuming that the first non-base
argument passed to git-merge-recursive always corresponds to the
working directory.  This is already true for all in-tree callers
of merge-recursive.  This assumption is also supported by the
long time usage message of "<base> ... -- <head> <remote>", where
"<head>" is implied to be HEAD, which is generally assumed to be
the current tree-ish.

76db9dec81 Merge branch 'master' into sp/gfi
git-fast-import requires use of inttypes.h, but the master branch has
added it to git-compat-util differently than git-fast-import originally
had used it.  This merge back of master to the fast-import topic is to
get (and use) inttypes.h the way master is using it.

This is a partially evil merge to remove the call to setup_ident(),
as the master branch now contains a change which makes this implicit
and therefore removed the function declaration. (commit 01754769).

af7cf268f0 fetch-pack: remove --keep-auto and make it the default.
This makes git-fetch over git native protocol to automatically
decide to keep the downloaded pack if the fetch results in more
than 100 objects, just like receive-pack invoked by git-push
does.  This logic is disabled when --keep is explicitly given
from the command line, so that a very small clone still keeps
the downloaded pack as before.

The 100 threshold can be adjusted with fetch.unpacklimit
configuration.  We might want to introduce transfer.unpacklimit
to consolidate the two unpacklimit variables, which will be a
topic for the next patch.

b715cfbba4 Accept 'inline' file data in fast-import commit structure.
Its very annoying to need to specify the file content ahead of a
commit and use marks to connect the individual blobs to the commit's
file modification entry, especially if the frontend can't/won't
generate the blob SHA1s itself.  Instead it would much easier to
use if we can accept the blob data at the same time as we receive
each file_change line.

Now fast-import accepts 'inline' instead of a mark idnum or blob
SHA1 within the 'M' type file_change command.  If an inline is
detected the very next line must be a 'data n' command, supplying
the file data.

(aka $arg^{commit}) suffix but there was no need to.

The improvement is easily visible in the change to an existing
test t/3200-branch.sh in this commit; it was expecting rather
ugly message.

1389d9ddaa reflog expire --fix-stale
The logic in an earlier round to detect reflog entries that
point at a broken commit was not sufficient.  Just like we do
not trust presense of a commit during pack transfer (we trust
only our refs), we should not trust a commit's presense, even if
the tree of that commit is complete.

A repository that had reflog enabled on some of the refs that
was rewound and then run git-repack or git-prune from older
versions of git can have reflog entries that point at a commit
that still exist but lack commits (or trees and blobs needed for
that commit) between it and some commit that is reachable from
one of the refs.

This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
refs.  Entries in the reflog that refer to such a commit are
expired.

Since this computation involves traversing all the reachable
objects, i.e. it has the same cost as 'git prune', it is enabled
only when a new option --fix-stale.  Fortunately, once this is
run, we should not have to ever worry about missing objects,
because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs
and protect objects referred by them.

Unfortunately, this will be absolutely necessary to help people
migrate to the newer prune and repack.
