8e44025925 Use blob_, commit_, tag_, and tree_type throughout.
This replaces occurences of "blob", "commit", "tag", and "tree",
where they're really used as type specifiers, which we already
have defined global constants for.

67686d9504 unpack_delta_entry(): reduce memory footprint.
Currently we unpack the delta data from the pack and then unpack
the base object to apply that delta data to it.  When getting an
object that is deeply deltified, we can reduce memory footprint
by unpacking the base object first and then unpacking the delta
data, because we will need to keep at most one delta data in
memory that way.

3f9ac8d259 pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs.  If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.

Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed).  In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

26125f6b9b detect broken alternates.
The real problem triggered an earlier fix was that an alternate
entry was pointing at a removed directory.  Complaining on
object/pack directory that cannot be opendir-ed produces noise
in an ancient repository that does not have object/pack
directory and has never been packed.

Detect the real user error and report it.  Also if opendir
failed for other reasons (e.g. no read permissions), report that
as well.

67d42212ff stat() for existence in safe_create_leading_directories()
Use stat() to explicitly check for existence rather than
relying on the non-portable EEXIST error in sha1_file.c's
safe_create_leading_directories().  There certainly are
optimizations possible, but then the code becomes almost
the same as that in coreutil's lib/mkdir-p.c.

Other uses of EEXIST seem ok.  Tested on Solaris 8, AIX 5.2L,
and a few Linux versions.  AIX has some unrelated (I think)
failures right now; I haven't tried many recent gits there.
Anyone have an old Ultrix box to break everything?  ;)

Also remove extraneous #includes.  Everything's already in

e93ec6f9d8 Revert "check_packed_git_idx(): check integrity of the idx file itself."
This reverts c5ced64578 commit.
It turns out that doing this check every time we map the idx file
is quite expensive.  A corrupt idx file is caught by git-fsck-objects,
so this check is not strictly necessary.

In one unscientific test, 0.99.9m spent 10 seconds usertime for
the same task 1.1.3 takes 37 seconds usertime.  Reverting this gives
us the performance of 0.99.9 back.

457f06d68e Introduce core.sharedrepository
If the config variable 'core.sharedrepository' is set, the directories

	$GIT_DIR/objects/
	$GIT_DIR/objects/??
	$GIT_DIR/objects/pack
	$GIT_DIR/refs
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/tags

are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary
group of all users).

Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to
their destination, they do not have to be group writable.  Indeed, if
this leads to problems you found a bug.

Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the
function which checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified
to call git_config(git_default_config) first.

[jc: git variables should be in environment.c unless there is a
 compelling reason to do otherwise.]

We somehow ended up registering packs in alternate object
directories as "dir/object//pack/pack-*", which confusd the

7ebb6fcafe Fix what to do and how to detect when hardlinking fails
Recent FAT workaround caused compilation trouble on OpenBSD;
different platforms use different error codes when we try to
hardlink the temporary file to its final location.  Existing
Coda hack also checks its own error code, but the thing is,
the case we care about is if link failed for a reason other
than that the final file has already existed (which would be
normal, or it could mean collision).  So just check the error
code against EEXIST.

e1b10391ea Use git config file for committer name and email info
This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing.  This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.

The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately.  And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.

In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.

It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

The http commit walker cannot use the same temporary file
creation code because it needs to use predictable temporary
filename for partial fetch continuation purposes, but the code
to move the temporary file to the final location should be
usable from the ordinary object creation codepath.

Export move_temp_to_file from sha1_file.c and use it, while
losing the custom relink_or_rename function from http-fetch.c.

Also the temporary object file creation part needs to make sure
the leading path exists, in preparation of the really lazy

230f13225d Create object subdirectories on demand
This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.

As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.

Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.

With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.

This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.

[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
 to ease transition.  init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
 empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
 but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
 to 146KB.  These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
 on-demand capability.]

ccfd3e9962 [PATCH] Define relative .git/objects/info/alternates semantics.
An entry in the alternates file can name a directory relative to
the object store it describes.  A typical linux-2.6 maintainer
repository would have "../../../torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects" there,
because the subsystem maintainer object store would live in

    /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/$u/$system.git/objects/

and the object store of Linus tree is in

    /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/

This unfortunately is different from GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
which is relative to the cwd of the running process, but there is no
way to make it consistent with the behaviour of the environment
variable.  The process typically is run in $system.git/ directory for
a naked repository, or one level up for a repository with a working
tree, so we just define it to be relative to the objects/ directory
to be different from either ;-).

Later, the dumb transport could be updated to read from info/alternates
and make requests for the repository the repository borrows from.

If the object to write was packed, both its uncompressed and compressed
data were leaked.  If the object was not packed, its file was not unmapped.

[jc: I think it still leaks on the write error path of
write_sha1_to_fd(), but that should be fixable in a small separate
patch.]

When following a reference, read_object_with_reference() did not free the
intermediate object data.

9938af6a85 Update get_sha1() to grok extended format.
Everybody envies rev-parse, who is the only one that can grok
the extended sha1 format.  Move the get_extended_sha1() out of
rev-parse, rename it to get_sha1() and make it available to
everybody else.

The one I posted earlier to the list had one bug where it did
not handle a name that ends with a digit correctly (it
incorrectly tried the "Nth parent" path).  This commit fixes it.

70b9829ea7 [PATCH] Parallelize pulling by ssh
This causes ssh-pull to request objects in prefetch() and read then in
fetch(), such that it reduces the unpipelined round-trip time.

This also makes sha1_write_from_fd() support having a buffer of data
which it accidentally read from the fd after the object; this was
formerly not a problem, because it would always get a short read at
the end of an object, because the next object had not been
requested. This is no longer true.

bf592c5057 [PATCH] Functions for managing the set of packs the library is using (whitespace fixed)
This adds support for reading an uninstalled index, and installing a
pack file that was added while the program was running, as well as
functions for determining where to put the file.

5da5c8f4cf Teach parse_commit_buffer about grafting.
Introduce a new file $GIT_DIR/info/grafts (or $GIT_GRAFT_FILE)
which is a list of "fake commit parent records".  Each line of
this file is a commit ID, followed by parent commit IDs, all
40-byte hex SHA1 separated by a single SP in between.  The
records override the parent information we would normally read
from the commit objects, allowing both adding "fake" parents
(i.e. grafting), and pretending as if a commit is not a child of
some of its real parents (i.e. cauterizing).
