This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.
This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0". This latter can
speed up a command such as:
GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
a tiny amount.

We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.
However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.
This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it. When set
to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore
but passes them intact.
The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional
behaviour for now.

The ALLOC_GROW macro will never let us fill the array completely,
instead allocating an extra chunk if that would be the case. This is
because the 'nr' argument was originally treated as "how much we do have
now" instead of "how much do we want". The latter makes much more
sense because you can grow by more than one item.
This off-by-one never resulted in an error because it meant we were
overly conservative about when to allocate. Any callers which passed
"how much we have now" need to be updated, or they will fail to allocate
enough.

so that an ugly commit message like this can be
handled sanely.
Currently, --pretty=oneline and --pretty=email (hence
format-patch) take and use only the first line of the commit log
message. This changes them to:
- Take the first paragraph, where the definition of the first
paragraph is "skip all blank lines from the beginning, and
then grab everything up to the next empty line".
- Replace all line breaks with a whitespace.
This change would not affect a well-behaved commit message that
adheres to the convention of "single line summary, a blank line,
and then body of message", as its first paragraph always
consists of a single line. Commit messages from different
culture, such as the ones imported from CVS/SVN, can however get
chomped with the existing behaviour at the first linebreak in
the middle of sentence right now, which would become much easier
to see with this change.
The Subject: and --pretty=oneline output would become very long
and unsightly for non-conforming commits, but their messages are
already ugly anyway, and thischange at least avoids the loss of
information.
The Subject: line from a multi-line paragraph is folded using
RFC2822 line folding rules at the places where line breaks were
in the original.

This is in preparation for keeping two entry lists in the
dir object.
This patch adds and uses the ALLOC_GROW() macro, which
implements the commonly used idiom of growing a dynamic
array using the alloc_nr function (not just in dir.c, but
everywhere).
We also move creation of a dir_entry to dir_entry_new.

setup_gdg is used as abbreviation for setup_git_directory_gently.
The work tree can be specified using the environment variable
GIT_WORK_TREE and the config option core.worktree (the environment
variable has precendence over the config option). Additionally
there is a command line option --work-tree which sets the
environment variable.
setup_gdg does the following now:
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in .git directory
parent directory of the .git directory is used as work tree,
GIT_WORK_TREE is ignored
GIT_DIR unspecified
repository in cwd
GIT_DIR is set to cwd
see the cases with GIT_DIR specified what happens next and
also see the note below
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree unspecified
cwd is used as work tree
GIT_DIR specified
GIT_WORK_TREE/core.worktree specified
the specified work tree is used
Note on the case where GIT_DIR is unspecified and repository is in cwd:
GIT_WORK_TREE is used but is_inside_git_dir is always true.
I did it this way because setup_gdg might be called multiple
times (e.g. when doing alias expansion) and in successive calls
setup_gdg should do the same thing every time.
Meaning of is_bare/is_inside_work_tree/is_inside_git_dir:
(1) is_bare_repository
A repository is bare if core.bare is true or core.bare is
unspecified and the name suggests it is bare (directory not
named .git). The bare option disables a few protective
checks which are useful with a working tree. Currently
this changes if a repository is bare:
updates of HEAD are allowed
git gc packs the refs
the reflog is disabled by default
(2) is_inside_work_tree
True if the cwd is inside the associated working tree (if there
is one), false otherwise.
(3) is_inside_git_dir
True if the cwd is inside the git directory, false otherwise.
Before this patch is_inside_git_dir was always true for bare
repositories.
When setup_gdg finds a repository git_config(git_default_config) is
always called. This ensure that is_bare_repository makes use of
core.bare and does not guess even though core.bare is specified.
inside_work_tree and inside_git_dir are set if setup_gdg finds a
repository. The is_inside_work_tree and is_inside_git_dir functions
will die if they are called before a successful call to setup_gdg.

In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.
Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.
Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything. But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.
Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.
This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

As noted by Johan Herland, git-archive is a kind of checkout and needs
to apply any checkout filters that might be configured.
This patch adds the convenience function convert_sha1_file which returns
a buffer containing the object's contents, after converting, if necessary
(i.e. it's a combination of read_sha1_file and convert_to_working_tree).
Direct calls to read_sha1_file in git-archive are then replaced by calls
to convert_sha1_file.
Since convert_sha1_file expects its path argument to be NUL-terminated --
a convention it inherits from convert_to_working_tree -- the patch also
changes the path handling in archive-tar.c to always NUL-terminate the
string. It used to solely rely on the len field of struct strbuf before.
archive-zip.c already NUL-terminates the path and thus needs no such
change.

When we are applying a patch that creates a blob at a path, or
when we are switching from a branch that does not have a blob at
the path to another branch that has one, we need to make sure
that there is nothing at the path in the working tree, as such a
file is a local modification made by the user that would be lost
by the operation.
Normally, lstat() on the path and making sure ENOENT is returned
is good enough for that purpose. However there is a twist. We
may be creating a regular file arch/x86_64/boot/Makefile, while
removing an existing symbolic link at arch/x86_64/boot that
points at existing ../i386/boot directory that has Makefile in
it. We always first check without touching filesystem and then
perform the actual operation, so when we verify the new file,
arch/x86_64/boot/Makefile, does not exist, we haven't removed
the symbolic link arc/x86_64/boot symbolic link yet. lstat() on
the file sees through the symbolic link and reports the file is
there, which is not what we want.
The function has_symlink_leading_path() function takes a path,
and sees if any of the leading directory component is a symbolic
link.
When files in a new directory are created, we tend to process
them together because both index and tree are sorted. The
function takes advantage of this and allows the caller to cache
and reuse which symbolic link on the filesystem caused the
function to return true.
The calling sequence would be:
char last_symlink[PATH_MAX];
*last_symlink = '\0';
for each index entry {
if (!lose)
continue;
if (lstat(it))
if (errno == ENOENT)
; /* happy */
else
error;
else if (has_symlink_leading_path(it, last_symlink))
; /* happy */
else
error; /* would lose local changes */
unlink_entry(it, last_symlink);
}

Add config variables pack.compression and core.loosecompression ,
and switch --compression=level to pack-objects.
Loose objects will be compressed using core.loosecompression if set,
else core.compression if set, else Z_BEST_SPEED.
Packed objects will be compressed using --compression=level if seen,
else pack.compression if set, else core.compression if set,
else Z_DEFAULT_COMPRESSION. This is the "pack compression level".
Loose objects added to a pack undeltified will be recompressed
to the pack compression level if it is unequal to the current
loose compression level by the preceding rules, or if the loose
object was written while core.legacyheaders = true. Newly
deltified loose objects are always compressed to the current
pack compression level.
Previously packed objects added to a pack are recompressed
to the current pack compression level exactly when their
deltification status changes, since the previous pack data
cannot be reused.
In either case, the --no-reuse-object switch from the first
patch below will always force recompression to the current pack
compression level, instead of assuming the pack compression level
hasn't changed and pack data can be reused when possible.
This applies on top of the following patches from Nicolas Pitre:

Now that we encourage and actively preserve objects in a packed form
more agressively than we did at the time the new loose object format and
core.legacyheaders were introduced, that extra loose object format
doesn't appear to be worth it anymore.
Because the packing of loose objects has to go through the delta match
loop anyway, and since most of them should end up being deltified in
most cases, there is really little advantage to have this parallel loose
object format as the CPU savings it might provide is rather lost in the
noise in the end.
This patch gets rid of core.legacyheaders, preserve the legacy format as
the only writable loose object format and deprecate the other one to
keep things simpler.

The usual process flow is the main process opens and holds the lock to
the index, does its thing, perhaps spawning children during the course,
and then writes the resulting index out by releaseing the lock.
However, the lockfile interface uses atexit(3) to clean it up, without
regard to who actually created the lock. This typically leads to a
confusing behaviour of lock being released too early when the child
exits, and then the parent process when it calls commit_lockfile()
finds that it cannot unlock it.
This fixes the problem by recording who created and holds the lock, and
upon atexit(3) handler, child simply ignores the lockfile the parent
created.

We used to use a different allocator scheme for when we didn't know the
object type. That meant that objects that were created without any
up-front knowledge of the type would not go through the same allocation
paths as normal object allocations, and would miss out on the statistics.
But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when
looking at memory usage but not much else), if we want to make the
object hash tables use a denser object pointer representation, we need
to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

This adds "attribute macros" (for lack of better name). So far,
we have low-level attributes such as crlf and diff, which are
defined in operational terms --- setting or unsetting them on a
particular path directly affects what is done to the path. For
example, in order to decline diffs or crlf conversions on a
binary blob, no diffs on PostScript files, and treat all other
files normally, you would have something like these:
* diff crlf
*.ps !diff
proprietary.o !diff !crlf
That is fine as the operation goes, but gets unwieldy rather
rapidly, when we start adding more low-level attributes that are
defined in operational terms. A near-term example of such an
attribute would be 'merge-3way' which would control if git
should attempt the usual 3-way file-level merge internally, or
leave merging to a specialized external program of user's
choice. When it is added, we do _not_ want to force the users
to update the above to:
* diff crlf merge-3way
*.ps !diff
proprietary.o !diff !crlf !merge-3way
The way this patch solves this issue is to realize that the
attributes the user is assigning to paths are not defined in
terms of operations but in terms of what they are.
All of the three low-level attributes usually make sense for
most of the files that sane SCM users have git operate on (these
files are typically called "text'). Only a few cases, such as
binary blob, need exception to decline the "usual treatment
given to text files" -- and people mark them as "binary".
So this allows the $GIT_DIR/info/alternates and .gitattributes
at the toplevel of the project to also specify attributes that
assigns other attributes. The syntax is '[attr]' followed by an
attribute name followed by a list of attribute names:
[attr] binary !diff !crlf !merge-3way
When "binary" attribute is set to a path, if the path has not
got diff/crlf/merge-3way attribute set or unset by other rules,
this rule unsets the three low-level attributes.
It is expected that the user level .gitattributes will be
expressed mostly in terms of attributes based on what the files
are, and the above sample would become like this:
(built-in attribute configuration)
[attr] binary !diff !crlf !merge-3way
* diff crlf merge-3way
(project specific .gitattributes)
proprietary.o binary
(user preference $GIT_DIR/info/attributes)
*.ps !diff
There are a few caveats.
* As described above, you can define these macros only in
$GIT_DIR/info/attributes and toplevel .gitattributes.
* There is no attempt to detect circular definition of macro
attributes, and definitions are evaluated from bottom to top
as usual to fill in other attributes that have not yet got
values. The following would work as expected:
[attr] text diff crlf
[attr] ps text !diff
*.ps ps
while this would most likely not (I haven't tried):
[attr] ps text !diff
[attr] text diff crlf
*.ps ps
* When a macro says "[attr] A B !C", saying that a path does
not have attribute A does not let you tell anything about
attributes B or C. That is, given this:
[attr] text diff crlf
[attr] ps text !diff
*.txt !ps
path hello.txt, which would match "*.txt" pattern, would have
"ps" attribute set to zero, but that does not make text
attribute of hello.txt set to false (nor diff attribute set to
true).

This adds the basic infrastructure to assign attributes to
paths, in a way similar to what the exclusion mechanism does
based on $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and .gitignore files.
An attribute is just a simple string that does not contain any
whitespace. They can be specified in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
file, and .gitattributes file in each directory.
Each line in these files defines a pattern matching rule.
Similar to the exclusion mechanism, a later match overrides an
earlier match in the same file, and entries from .gitattributes
file in the same directory takes precedence over the ones from
parent directories. Lines in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes file are
used as the lowest precedence default rules.
A line is either a comment (an empty line, or a line that begins
with a '#'), or a rule, which is a whitespace separated list of
tokens. The first token on the line is a shell glob pattern.
The rest are names of attributes, each of which can optionally
be prefixed with '!'. Such a line means "if a path matches this
glob, this attribute is set (or unset -- if the attribute name
is prefixed with '!'). For glob matching, the same "if the
pattern does not have a slash in it, the basename of the path is
matched with fnmatch(3) against the pattern, otherwise, the path
is matched with the pattern with FNM_PATHNAME" rule as the
exclusion mechanism is used.
This does not define what an attribute means. Tying an
attribute to various effects it has on git operation for paths
that have it will be specified separately.
