The HEAD reflog is updated as well as the reflog for the branch pointed
to by HEAD whenever it is referenced with "HEAD".
There are some cases where a specific branch may be modified directly.
In those cases, the HEAD reflog should be updated as well if it is a
symref to that branch in order to be consistent.

When you want to amend the commit message of 3 commits before
the tip of the current branch, say 'master',
A--B--C--D--E(master)
it is sometimes handy to make your head detached at that commit
with:
$ git checkout HEAD~3 ;# check out B
$ git commit --amend ;# without modifying contents...
to create:
.B'(HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E(master)
and then rebase 'master' branch onto HEAD with this:
$ git rebase HEAD master
to result in:
.B'-C'-D'-E(master=HEAD)
/
A--B--C--D--E
However, the current code interprets HEAD after it switches to
the branch 'master', which means the rebase will not do
anything. You have to say something unwieldly like this
instead:
$ git rebase $(git rev-parse HEAD) master
This fixes it by expanding the $onto commit name before
switching to the target branch.

This improves the performance of revision bisection.
The idea is to avoid rather expensive count_distance() function,
which counts the number of commits that are reachable from any
given commit (including itself) in the set. When a commit has
only one relevant parent commit, the number of commits the
commit can reach is exactly the number of commits that the
parent can reach plus one; instead of running count_distance()
on commits that are on straight single strand of pearls, we can
just add one to the parents' count.
On the other hand, for a merge commit, because the commits
reachable from one parent can be reachable from another parent,
you cannot just add the parents' counts up plus one for the
commit itself; that would overcount ancestors that are reachable
from more than one parents.
The algorithm used in the patch runs count_distance() on merge
commits, and uses the util field of commit objects to remember
them. After that, the number of commits reachable from each of
the remaining commits is counted by finding a commit whose count
is not yet known but the count for its (sole) parent is known,
and adding one to the parent's count, until we assign numbers to
everybody.
Another small optimization is whenever we find a half-way commit
(that is, a commit that can reach exactly half of the commits),
we stop giving counts to remaining commits, as we will not find
any better commit than we just found.
The performance to bisect between v1.0.0 and v1.5.0 in git.git
repository was improved by saying good and bad in turns from
3.68 seconds down to 1.26 seconds. Bisecting the kernel between
v2.6.18 and v2.6.20 was sped up from 21.84 seconds down to 4.22
seconds.

This adds --bisect-vars option to rev-list. The output is suitable
for `eval` in shell and defines five variables:
- bisect_rev is the next revision to test.
- bisect_nr is the expected number of commits to test after
bisect_rev is tested.
- bisect_good is the expected number of commits to test
if bisect_rev turns out to be good.
- bisect_bad is the expected number of commits to test
if bisect_rev turns out to be bad.
- bisect_all is the number of commits we are bisecting right now.
The documentation text was partly stolen from Johannes
Schindelin's patch.

Make all the different parts of the database backend connection
configurable. This adds the following string configuration variables:
- gitcvs.dbdriver
- gitcvs.dbname
- gitcvs.dbuser
- gitcvs.dbpass
The default values emulate the current behavior exactly for
backwards compatibility.
All configuration variables can also be specified for a specific
access method (i.e. in the form gitcvs.<method>.<var>)
The dbdriver/dbuser/dbpass variables are added for completness.
No other backend than SQLite is tested yet.
The dbname variable on the other hand is useful with this backend
already (to not discriminate against other possible backends
it was not splitted in dbdir and dbfile).
Both dbname and dbuser support dynamic variable substitution where
the available variables are:
%m -- the CVS 'module' (i.e. GIT 'head') worked on
%a -- CVS access method used (i.e. 'ext' or 'pserver')
%u -- User name of the user invoking git-cvsserver
%G -- .git directory name
%g -- .git directory name, mangled to be used in a filename,

In addition to optimizing pathspecs that would never match,

If we already know that some of the pathspecs can match later
entries in the tree we are looking at, we do not have to do more
expensive strncmp() upfront before comparing the length of the
match pattern and the path, as a path longer than the match
pattern will not match it, and a path shorter than the match
pattern will match only if the path is a directory-component
wise prefix of the match pattern.

When we are looking at a tree entry with pathspecs, if all the

This makes the tree descriptor contain a "struct name_entry" as part of
it, and it gets filled in so that it always contains a valid entry. On
some benchmarks, it improves performance by up to 15%.
That makes tree entry "extract" trivial, and means that we only actually
need to decode each tree entry just once: we decode the first one when
we initialize the tree descriptor, and each subsequent one when doing
"update_tree_entry()". In particular, this means that we don't need to
do strlen() both at extract time _and_ at update time.
Finally, it also allows more sharing of code (entry_extract(), that
wanted a "struct name_entry", just got totally trivial, along with the
"tree_entry()" function).

When creating a new object, we use "deflate(stream, Z_FINISH)" in a loop
until it no longer returns Z_OK, and then we do "deflateEnd()" to finish
up business.
That should all work, but the fact is, it's not how you're _supposed_ to
use the zlib return values properly:
- deflate() should never return Z_OK in the first place, except if we
need to increase the output buffer size (which we're not doing, and
should never need to do, since we pre-allocated a buffer that is
supposed to be able to hold the output in full). So the "while()" loop
was incorrect: Z_OK doesn't actually mean "ok, continue", it means "ok,
allocate more memory for me and continue"!
- if we got an error return, we would consider it to be end-of-stream,
but it could be some internal zlib error. In short, we should check
for Z_STREAM_END explicitly, since that's the only valid return value
anyway for the Z_FINISH case.
- we never checked deflateEnd() return codes at all.
Now, admittedly, none of these issues should ever happen, unless there is
some internal bug in zlib. So this patch should make zero difference, but
it seems to be the right thing to do.
We should probablybe anal and check the return value of "deflateInit()"
too!

Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote
an object it already had. This was ensured by always unpacking the
packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack)
and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an
object we already have.
Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push
by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects. This
would let an attacker perform a birthday attack.
How? Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different
data streams. He knows the client is likely to have the "good"
one. So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of
a "large-ish" packfile. The recipient keeps that packfile, and
indexes it. Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1
collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1.
They have *very* different data streams. One of them is "evil".
Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart,
short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles. But lets
say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked.
We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting
the "good" one. This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent
rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f).
It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it
ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must
not let the fetch succeed.
Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have.
But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1
actually contain the same data.

The thing is, if the output buffer is empty, we should *still* actually
use the zlib routines to *unpack* that empty output buffer.
But we had a test that said "only unpack if we still expect more output".
So we wouldn't use up all the zlib stream, because we felt that we didn't
need it, because we already had all the bytes we wanted. And it was
"true": we did have all the output data. We just needed to also eat all
the input data!
