bundle create: keep symbolic refs' names instead of resolving them
When creating a bundle, symbolic refs used to be resolved to the
non-symbolic refs they point to before being written to the list
of contained refs. I.e. "git bundle create a1.bundle HEAD master"
would show something like
388afe7881b33102fada216dd07806728773c011 refs/heads/master

Fix per-directory exclude handing for "git add"
In "dir_struct", each exclusion element in the exclusion stack records a
base string (pointer to the beginning with length) so that we can tell
where it came from, but this pointer is just pointing at the parameter
that is given by the caller to the push_exclude_per_directory()
function.
While read_directory_recursive() runs, calls to excluded() makes use
the data in the exclusion elements, including this base string. The
caller of read_directory_recursive() is not supposed to free the
buffer it gave to push_exclude_per_directory() earlier, until it
returns.
The test case Bruce Stephens gave in the mailing list discussion
was simplified and added to the t3700 test.

core.excludesfile clean-up
There are inconsistencies in the way commands currently handle
the core.excludesfile configuration variable. The problem is
the variable is too new to be noticed by anything other than
git-add and git-status.
* git-ls-files does not notice any of the "ignore" files by
default, as it predates the standardized set of ignore files.
The calling scripts established the convention to use
.git/info/exclude, .gitignore, and later core.excludesfile.
* git-add and git-status know about it because they call
add_excludes_from_file() directly with their own notion of
which standard set of ignore files to use. This is just a
stupid duplication of code that need to be updated every time
the definition of the standard set of ignore files is
changed.
* git-read-tree takes --exclude-per-directory=<gitignore>,
not because the flexibility was needed. Again, this was
because the option predates the standardization of the ignore
files.
* git-merge-recursive uses hardcoded per-directory .gitignore
and nothing else. git-clean (scripted version) does not
honor core.* because its call to underlying ls-files does not
know about it. git-clean in C (parked in 'pu') doesn't either.
We probably could change git-ls-files to use the standard set
when no excludes are specified on the command line and ignore
processing was asked, or something like that, but that will be a
change in semantics and might break people's scripts in a subtle
way. I am somewhat reluctant to make such a change.
On the other hand, I think it makes perfect sense to fix
git-read-tree, git-merge-recursive and git-clean to follow the
same rule as other commands. I do not think of a valid use case
to give an exclude-per-directory that is nonstandard to
read-tree command, outside a "negative" test in the t1004 test
script.
This patch is the first step to untangle this mess.
The next step would be to teach read-tree, merge-recursive and
clean (in C) to use setup_standard_excludes().

Fix t9101 test failure caused by Subversion "auto-props"
If a user has an "auto-prop" in his/her ~/.subversion/config file for
automatically setting the svn:keyword Id property on all ".c" files
(a reasonably common configuration in the Subversion world) then one
of the "svn propset" operations in the very first test would become a
no-op, which in turn would make the next commit a no-op.
This then caused the 25th test ('test propget') to fail because it
expects a certain number of commits to have taken place but the actual
number of commits was off by one.
Björn Steinbrink identified the "auto-prop" feature as the cause
of the failure. This patch avoids it by passing the "--no-auto-prop"
flag to "svn import" when setting up the test repository, thus ensuring
that the "svn propset" operation is no longer a no-op, regardless of the
users' settings in their config.

Don't allow fast-import tree delta chains to exceed maximum depth
Brian Downing noticed fast-import can produce tree depths of up
to 6,035 objects and even deeper. Long delta chains can create
very small packfiles but cause problems during repacking as git
needs to unpack each tree to count the reachable blobs.
What's happening here is the active branch cache isn't big enough.
We're swapping out the branch and thus recycling the tree information
(struct tree_content) back into the free pool. When we later reload
the tree we set the delta_depth to 0 but we kept the tree we just
reloaded as a delta base.
So if the tree we reloaded was already at the maximum depth we
wouldn't know it and make the new tree a delta. Multiply the
number of times the branch cache has to swap out the tree times
max_depth (10) and you get the maximum delta depth of a tree created
by fast-import. In Brian's case above the active branch cache had
to swap the branch out 603/604 times during this import to produce
a tree with a delta depth of 6035.

Fix memory leak in traverse_commit_list
If we were listing objects too then the objects were buffered in an
array only reachable from a stack allocated structure. When this
function returns that array would be leaked as nobody would have
a reference to it anymore.
Historically this hasn't been a problem as the primary user of
traverse_commit_list() (the noble git-rev-list) would terminate
as soon as the function was finished, thus allowing the operating
system to cleanup memory. However we have been leaking this data
in git-pack-objects ever since that program learned how to run the
revision listing internally, rather than relying on reading object
names from git-rev-list.
To better facilitate reuse of traverse_commit_list during other
builtin tools (such as git-fetch) we shouldn't leak temporary memory
like this and instead we need to clean up properly after ourselves.

refresh_index_quietly(): express "optional" nature of index writing better
The point of the part of the code this patch touches is that if
we modified the active_cache, we try to write it out and make it
the index file for later users to use by calling
"commit_locked_index", but we do not really care about the
failure from this sequence because it is done purely as an
optimization.
The original code called three functions primarily for their
side effects but as condition of an if statement, which is
admittedly a bad style.
Incidentally, it squelches an "empty if body" warning from gcc.

git-svn: fix dcommit clobbering when committing a series of diffs
Our revision number sent to SVN is set to the last revision we
committed if we've made any previous commits in a dcommit
invocation.
Although our SVN Editor code uses the delta of two (old) trees
to generate information to send upstream, it'll still send
complete resultant files upstream; even if the tree they're
based against is out-of-date.
The combination of sending a file that does not include the
latest changes, but set with a revision number of a commit we
just made will cause SVN to accept the resultant file even if it
was generated against an old tree.
More trouble was caused when fixing this because we were
rebasing uncessarily at times. We used git-diff-tree to check
the imported SVN revision against our HEAD, not the last tree we
committed to SVN. The unnecessary rebasing caused merge commits
upstream to SVN to fail.

git-rebase--interactive.sh: Make 3-way merge strategies work for -p.
git-rebase--interactive.sh used to pass all parents of a merge commit to
git-merge, which means that we have at least 3 heads to merge: HEAD,
first parent and second parent. So 3-way merge strategies like recursive
wouldn't work.
Fortunately, we have checked out the first parent right before the merge
anyway, so that is HEAD. Therefore we can drop simply it from the list
of parents, making 3-way strategies work for merge commits with only
two parents.

This means that --strategy for interactive rebases is a no-op for

Make merge-recursive honor diff.renamelimit
It might be a sign of source code management gone bad, but when two branches
has diverged almost beyond recognition and time has come for the branches to
merge, the user is going to need all the help his tool can give him. Honoring
diff.renamelimit has great potential as a painkiller in such situations.
The painkiller effect could have been achieved by e.g. 'merge.renamelimit',
but the flexibility gained by a separate option is questionable: our user
would probably expect git to detect renames equally good when merging as
when diffing (I known I did).

Fix diffcore-break total breakage
Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.
In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like
- rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
- create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
"filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.
which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.
Now, there's two issues here:
- "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
helper file" into another was *not* an option.
So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
alternatives.
- "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.
Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:
diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c

diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)
however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!
In particular:
- it used to do
if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */
which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
"base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!
That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.
- It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added
if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;
to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
was *definitely* a break.
- It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
damage score with
delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;
but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
(again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
damage!
Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.
With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now
git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S
actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history
git log --stat -B -C
on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.
There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:
- This:

Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real
"delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in
advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was
meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases
where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable.
So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak
the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real
"delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in
advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was
meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases
where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable.
So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak
the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

Fix directory scanner to correctly ignore files without d_type

That happened in the case of a pathname that was ignored, and we did
not ask for "dir->show_ignored". That test used to be *together*
with the "DTYPE(de) != DT_DIR", but splitting the two tests up
means that we can do that (common) test before we even bother to
calculate the real dtype.
Of course, that optimization only matters for systems that don't
have, or don't fill in DTYPE properly.
I also clarified the real relationship between "exclude" and
"dir->show_ignored". It used to do
if (exclude != dir->show_ignored) {
..
which wasn't exactly obvious, because it triggers for two different
cases:
- the path is marked excluded, but we are not interested in ignored
files: ignore it
- the path is *not* excluded, but we *are* interested in ignored
files: ignore it unless it's a directory, in which case we might
have ignored files inside the directory and need to recurse
into it).
so this splits them into those two cases, since the first case
doesn't even care about the type.
I also made a the DT_UNKNOWN case a separate helper function,
and added some commentary to the cases.
