When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import
dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more
space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a
constant amount. For very large trees, this means
re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times.
To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree
resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool
for future trees. This means that each of the O(n)
allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory,
giving O(n^2) memory consumption.

Allow fast-import frontends to reload the marks table
Use atomic updates to the fast-import mark file
Preallocate memory earlier in fast-import
I'm giving fast-import a lesson on how to reload the marks table
using the same format it outputs with --export-marks. This way
a frontend can reload the marks table from a prior import, making
incremental imports less painful.

When we allow fast-import frontends to reload a mark file from a
prior session we want to let them use the same file as they exported
the marks to. This makes it very simple for the frontend to save
state across incremental imports.
But we don't want to lose the old marks table if anything goes wrong
while writing our current marks table. So instead of truncating and
overwriting the path specified to --export-marks we use the standard
lockfile code to write the current marks out to a temporary file,
then rename it over the old marks table.
Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
I'm about to teach fast-import how to reload the marks file created
by a prior session. The general approach that I want to use is to
immediately parse the marks file when the specific argument is found
in argv, thereby allowing the caller to supply multiple marks files,
as the mark space can be sparsely populated.
To make that work out we need to allocate our object tables before
we parse the command line options. Since none of these tables
depend on the command line options, we can easily relocate them.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the
string is not writable at runtime. Likewise we should always be
treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values.
Most of these are very straightforward. The only exception is the
(unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached
head case. Since this is a user-level interactive type program
and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel
that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of

fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for merge
fast-import: Avoid infinite loop after reset
[sp: Minor evil merge to deal with type_names array moving
to be private in 'master'.]
Johannes Sixt noticed during one of his own imports that fast-import
did not fail if a non-existant commit is referenced by SHA-1 value
as an argument to the 'merge' command. This allowed the user to
unknowingly create commits that would fail in fsck, as the commit
contents would not be completely reachable.
A side effect of this bug was that a frontend process could mark
any SHA-1 object (blob, tree, tag) as a parent of a merge commit.
This should also fail in fsck, as the commit is not a valid commit.
We now use the same rule as the 'from' command. If a commit is
referenced in the 'merge' command by hex formatted SHA-1 then the
SHA-1 must be a commit or a tag that can be peeled back to a commit,
the commit must already exist, and must be readable by the core Git
infrastructure code. This requirement means that the commit must
have existed prior to fast-import starting, or the commit must have
been flushed out by a prior 'checkpoint' command.

Johannes Sixt noticed that a 'reset' command applied to a branch that
is already active in the branch LRU cache can cause fast-import to
relink the same branch into the LRU cache twice. This will cause
the LRU cache to contain a cycle, making unload_one_branch run in an
infinite loop as it tries to select the oldest branch for eviction.
I have trivially fixed the problem by adding an active bit to
each branch object; this bit indicates if the branch is already
in the LRU and allows us to avoid trying to add it a second time.
Converting the pack_id field into a bitfield makes this change take
up no additional memory.

It was suggested on the mailing list that being able to use `from`
in any commit to reset the current branch is useful in some types of
importers, such as a darcs importer.
We originally did not permit resetting an existing branch with a
new `from` command during a `commit` command, but this restriction
was only to help debug the hacked up cvs2svn that Jon Smirl was
developing in parallel with git-fast-import. It is probably more
of a problem to disallow it than to allow it. So now we permit a
`from` during any `commit`.
While making the changes required to permit multiple `from`
commands on the same branch, I discovered we no longer needed the
last_commit field to be set to 0 during a reset, so that was removed.
(Reset was originally setting the field to 0 to signal cmd_from()
that it was OK to execute on the branch.)
While poking around in this section of fast-import I also realized
the `reset` command was not working as intended if the corresponding
`from` command was omitted (as allowed by the BNF grammar and the
code). If `from` was omitted we cleared out the tree but we left
the tree SHA-1 and parent commit SHA-1 intact. This is not what
the user intended in this case. Instead they would be trying to
reset the branch to have no parent and to have no tree, making the
branch look new-born during the next commit. We now clear these
SHA-1 values during `reset`, ensuring the branch looks new-born if
`from` does not get supplied.
New test cases for these were also added.

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. :)

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.

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.

The current implementation of shell-style quoted refnames and
SHA-1 expressions within fast-import contains a bad memory leak.
We leak the unquoted strings used by the `from` and `merge`
commands, maybe others. Its also just muddling up the docs.
Since Git refnames cannot contain LF, and that is our delimiter
for the end of the refname, and we accept any other character
as-is, there is no reason for these strings to support quoting,
except to be nice to frontends. But frontends shouldn't be
expecting to use funny refs in Git, and its just as simple to
never quote them as it is to always pass them through the same
quoting filter as pathnames. So frontends should never quote
refs, or ref expressions.

Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer
types which were far larger than required to actually store their
full value range.
As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to
store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long`
on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value. Saving 4 bytes
per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import.
As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these
are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS. Going
to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly
`unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths. `unsigned short`
is a reasonable limit.
Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole
value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill. Saving 4 bytes
per file entry in an active branch can add up quickly on a project
with a large number of files.

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.

During testing its nice to not have to feed the length of a data
chunk to the 'data' command of fast-import. Instead we would
prefer to be able to establish a data chunk much like shell's <<
operator and use a line delimiter to denote the end of the input.
So now if a data command is started as 'data <<EOF' we will look
for a terminator line containing only the string EOF on that line.
Once found, we stop the data command. Everything between the two
lines is used as the data value.
The 'data <<' syntax is slower than 'data n', as we don't know how
many bytes to expect and instead must grow our buffer on the fly.
It also has the problem that the frontend must use a string which
will not appear on a line by itself in the input, and the data
region will always end in an LF. For these reasons real import
frontends are encouraged to continue to use _only_ 'data n'.

The --objects command line option is rather unnecessary. Internally
we allocate objects in 5000 unit blocks, ensuring that any sort
of malloc overhead is ammortized over the individual objects to
almost nothing. Since most frontends don't know how many objects
they will need for a given import run (and its hard for them to
predict without just doing the run) we probably won't see anyone
using --objects. Further since there's really no major benefit
to using the option, most frontends won't even bother supplying
it even if they could estimate the number of objects. So I'm
removing it.
The --max-objects-per-pack option was probably a mistake to even
have added in the first place. The packfile format is limited
to 4 GiB today; given that objects need at least 3 bytes of data
(and probably need even more) there's no way we are going to exceed
the limit of 1<<32-1 objects before we reach the file size limit.
So I'm removing it (to slightly reduce the complexity of the code)
before anyone gets any wise ideas and tries to use it.
