b6f3481bb4 Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision.  This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.

The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths.  The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.

With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

f39a946a1f Support wholesale directory renames in fast-import
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames without telling us exactly which files in that subdirectory
were moved.  This makes it hard for a frontend to convert such data
formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has on hand
is "Rename a/ to b/" with no details about what files are in a/,
unless the frontend also kept track of all files.

The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to
rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to
know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it.
The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally,
making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename.

aac65ed1bc Fix possible coredump with fast-import --import-marks
When e8438420bb allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table.  Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer.  Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.

This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.
Prior versions of fast-import fail the new test(s); this commit
allows them to pass.

Credit for this bug find goes to Simon Hausmann <simon@lst.de> as
he recently identified a similiar bug in the tree lazy-loading path.

a5c1780a03 Don't repack existing objects in fast-import
Some users of fast-import have been trying to use it to rewrite
commits and trees, an activity where the all of the relevant blobs
are already available from the existing packfiles.  In such a case
we don't want to repack a blob, even if the frontend application
has supplied us the raw data rather than a mark or a SHA-1 name.

I'm intentionally only checking the packfiles that existed when
fast-import started and am always ignoring all loose object files.

We ignore loose objects because fast-import tends to operate on a
very large number of objects in a very short timespan, and it is
usually creating new objects, not reusing existing ones.  In such
a situtation the majority of the objects will not be found in the
existing packfiles, nor will they be loose object files.  If the
frontend application really wants us to look at loose object files,
then they can just repack the repository before running fast-import.

f022f85f6d fast-import: grow tree storage more aggressively
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.

60b9004cdb Use atomic updates to the fast-import mark file
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.

93e72d8d8f Preallocate memory earlier in fast-import
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.

c4001d92be Use off_t when we really mean a file offset.
Not all platforms have declared 'unsigned long' to be a 64 bit value,
but we want to support a 64 bit packfile (or close enough anyway)
in the near future as some projects are getting large enough that
their packed size exceeds 4 GiB.

By using off_t, the POSIX type that is declared to mean an offset
within a file, we support whatever maximum file size the underlying
operating system will handle.  For most modern systems this is up
around 2^60 or higher.

3a55602eec General const correctness fixes
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
this warning.

2f6dc35d2a fast-import: Fail if a non-existant commit is used for merge
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.

734c91f9e2 fast-import: Avoid infinite loop after reset
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.

ea5e370aa9 fast-import: Support reusing 'from' and brown paper bag fix reset.
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.

Those users who do want this information probably want it captured

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.

e7d06a4b70 Remove unnecessary null pointer checks in fast-import.
There is no need to check for a NULL pointer before invoking free(),
the runtime library automatically performs this check anyway and
does nothing if a NULL pointer is supplied.

e5b1444b96 Correct minor style issue in fast-import.
Junio noticed that I was using a different style in fast-import
for returned pointers than the rest of Git.  Before merging this
code into the main git.git tree I'd like to make it consistent,
as this style variation was not intentional.

Junio noticed these warnings/errors in fast-import when compiling
with `-Werror -ansi -pedantic`.  A few changes are to reduce compiler
warnings, while one (in cmd_merge) is a bug fix.
