diffcore-pickaxe: fix infinite loop on zero-length needle

The "contains" algorithm runs into an infinite loop if the needle string
has zero length. The loop could be modified to handle this, but it makes
more sense to simply have an empty needle return no matches. Thus, a
command like
  git log -S
produces no output.

We place the check at the top of the function so that we get the same
results with or without --pickaxe-regex. Note that until now,
  git log -S --pickaxe-regex
would match everything, not nothing.

Arguably, an empty pickaxe string should simply produce an error
message; however, this is still a useful assertion to add to the
algorithm at this layer of the code.

Allow non-developer to clone, checkout and fetch more easily.

The code that uses committer_info() in reflog can barf and die
whenever it is asked to update a ref.  And I do not think
calling ignore_missing_committer_name() upfront like recent
receive-pack did in the aplication is a reasonable workaround.

What the patch does.

 - git_committer_info() takes one parameter.  It used to be "if
   this is true, then die() if the name is not available due to
   bad GECOS, otherwise issue a warning once but leave the name
   empty".  The reason was because we wanted to prevent bad
   commits from being made by git-commit-tree (and its
   callers).  The value 0 is only used by "git var -l".

   Now it takes -1, 0 or 1.  When set to -1, it does not
   complain but uses the pw->pw_name when name is not
   available.  Existing 0 and 1 values mean the same thing as
   they used to mean before.  0 means issue warnings and leave
   it empty, 1 means barf and die.

 - ignore_missing_committer_name() and its existing caller
   (receive-pack, to set the reflog) have been removed.

 - git-format-patch, to come up with the phoney message ID when
   asked to thread, now passes -1 to git_committer_info().  This
   codepath uses only the e-mail part, ignoring the name.  It
   used to barf and die.  The other call in the same program
   when asked to add signed-off-by line based on committer
   identity still passes 1 to make sure it barfs instead of
   adding a bogus s-o-b line.

 - log_ref_write in refs.c, to come up with the name to record
   who initiated the ref update in the reflog, passes -1.  It
   used to barf and die.

The last change means that git-update-ref, git-branch, and
commit walker backends can now be used in a repository with
reflog by somebody who does not have the user identity required
to make a commit.  They all used to barf and die.

I've run tests and all of them seem to pass, and also tried "git
clone" as a user whose GECOS is empty -- git clone works again
now (it was broken when reflog was enabled by default).

But this definitely needs extra sets of eyeballs.

New files in git weren't being downloaded during CVS update

If a repository was checked out via git-cvsserver and then later a new
file is added to the git repository via some other method; a CVS update
wasn't fetching the new file.

It would be reported as a new file as
 A some/dir/newfile.c
but would never appear in the directory.

The problem seems to be that git-cvsserver was treating these two cases
identically, as "A" type results.

1. New file in repository
2. New file locally

In fact, traditionally, case 1 is treated as a "U" result, and case 2
only is treated as an "A" result.  "A", should just report that the file
is added locally and then skip that file during an update as there is
(of course) nothing to send.

In both these cases there is no working revision, so the checking for
"is there no working revision" will return true.  The test for case 2
needs refining to say "if there is no working revision and no upstream
revision".  This patch does just that, leaving case 1 to be handled by
the normal "U" handler.

I've also updated the log message to more accurately describe the
operation.  i.e. that "A" means that content is scheduled for addition;
not that it actually has been added.

make --exec=... option to git-push configurable

Having to specify git push --exec=... is annoying if you cannot have
git-receivepack in your PATH on the remote side (or don't want to).

This introduces the config item remote.<name>.receivepack to override
the default value (which is "git-receive-pack").

Shawn O. Pearce [Thu, 18 Jan 2007 01:43:57 +0000 (20:43 -0500)]
Document pack .idx file format upgrade strategy.

Way back when Junio developed the 64 bit index topic he came up
with a means of changing the .idx file format so that older Git
clients would recognize that they don't understand the file and
refuse to read it, while newer clients could tell the difference
between the old-style and new-style .idx files.  Unfortunately
this wasn't recorded anywhere.

This change documents how we might go about changing the .idx
file format by using a special signature in the first four bytes.
Credit (and possible blame) goes completely to Junio for thinking
up this technique.

The change also modifies the error message of the current Git code
so that users get a recommendation to upgrade their Git software
should this version or later encounter a new-style .idx which it
cannot process.  We already do this for the .pack files, but since
we usually process the .idx files first its important that these
files are recognized and encourage an upgrade.
