Teach rsync transport about alternates.

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).

However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.

I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed,
which was not quite right.  This commit also fixes it.

[PATCH] Avoid building object ref lists when not needed

The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that
object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it.

However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for
git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight.

So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to
disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.

particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB).

Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still
clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time),
but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

After:

26718 minor pagefaults

This is all in _addition_ to the previous fixes.  It used to be
~48,000 pagefaults.

That's still a honking big memory footprint, but it's about half of what
it was just a day or two ago (and this is the object list for a pretty big

the more expensive one might find some more shared objects to avoid. In

[PATCH] Avoid wasting memory in git-rev-list

As pointed out on the list, git-rev-list can use a lot of memory.

One low-hanging fruit is to free the commit buffer for commits that we
parse. By default, parse_commit() will save away the buffer, since a lot
of cases do want it, and re-reading it continually would be unnecessary.
However, in many cases the buffer isn't actually necessary and saving it
just wastes memory.

We could just free the buffer ourselves, but especially in git-rev-list,
we actually end up using the helper functions that automatically add
parent commits to the commit lists, so we don't actually control the
commit parsing directly.

Instead, just make this behaviour of "parse_commit()" a global flag.
Maybe this is a bit tasteless, but it's very simple, and it makes a
noticable difference in memory usage.

note how the minor faults have decreased from 3714 pages to 2433 pages.
That's all due to the fewer anonymous pages allocated to hold the comment
buffers and their metadata.

[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.

Multi-backend merge driver.

The new command 'git merge' takes the current head and one or more
remote heads, with the commit log message for the automated case.

If the heads being merged are simple fast-forwards, it acts the
same way as the current 'git resolve'.  Otherwise, it tries
different merge strategies and takes the result from the one that
succeeded auto-merging, if there is any.

If no merge strategy succeeds auto-merging, their results are
evaluated for number of paths needed for hand resolving, and the
one with the least number of such paths is left in the working
tree.  The user is asked to resolve them by hand and make a
commit manually.

The calling convention from the 'git merge' driver to merge
strategy programs is very simple:

 - A strategy program is to be called 'git-merge-<strategy>'.

 - They take input of this form:

<common1> <common2> ... '--' <head> <remote1> <remote2>...

   That is, one or more the common ancestors, double dash, the
   current head, and one or more remote heads being merged into
   the current branch.

 - Before a strategy program is called, the working tree is
   matched to the current <head>.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 0 when it
   successfully auto-merges the given heads.  It should do
   update-cache for all the merged paths when it does so -- the
   index file will be used to record the merge result as a
   commit by the driver.

 - The strategy program exits with status code 1 when it leaves
   conflicts behind.  It should do update-cache for all the
   merged paths that it successfully auto-merged, and leave the
   cache entry in the index file as the same as <head> for paths
   it could not auto-merge, and leave its best-effort result
   with conflict markers in the working tree when it does so.

 - The strategy program exists with status code other than 0 or
   1 if it does not handle the given merge at all.

that C was created by copying B.  This is because we only check if the

diverged, using the records that the Arch "logs" provide. Merge parents
for a commit are defined if we are merging a series of patches that starts
from the mergebase.

If patches from a related branch are merged out-of-order, we keep track of
how much has been merged sequentially -- the tip of that sequential merge
is our new parent from that branch.

      'index' if that is what they mean.

There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and

compatibility support  is expected to be removed in the near
