gitweb: snapshot cleanups & support for offering multiple formats
- Centralize knowledge about snapshot formats (mime types, extensions,
commands) in %known_snapshot_formats and improve how some of that
information is specified. In particular, zip files are no longer a
special case.
- Add support for offering multiple snapshot formats to the user so
that he/she can download a snapshot in the format he/she prefers.
The site-wide or project configuration now gives a list of formats
to offer, and if more than one format is offered, the "_snapshot_"
link becomes something like "snapshot (_tar.bz2_ _zip_)".
- If only one format is offered, a tooltip on the "_snapshot_" link
tells the user what it is.
- Fix out-of-date "tarball" -> "archive" in comment.
Alert for gitweb site administrators: This patch changes the format of
$feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} in gitweb_config.perl from a list of
three pieces of information about a single format to a list of one or
more formats you wish to offer from the set ('tgz', 'tbz2', 'zip').
Update your gitweb_config.perl appropriately. There was taken care
for old-style gitweb configuration to work as it used to, but this
backward compatibility works only for the values which correspond to
gitweb.snapshot values of 'gzip', 'bzip2' and 'zip', i.e.
['x-gzip', 'gz', 'gzip']
['x-bzip2', 'bz2', 'bzip2']
['x-zip', 'zip', '']
The preferred names for gitweb.snapshot in repository configuration
have also changed from 'gzip' and 'bzip2' to 'tgz' and 'tbz2', but
the old names are still recognized for compatibility.

Rename read_pipe() with read_fd() and make its buffer nul-terminated.
The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.
A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.
Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

Do a better job at guessing unknown character sets
At least in the kernel development community, we're generally slowly
converting to UTF-8 everywhere, and the old default of Latin1 in emails is
being supplanted by UTF-8, and it doesn't necessarily show up as such in
the mail headers (because, quite frankly, when people send patches
around, they want the email client to do as little as humanly possible
about the patch)
Despite that, it's often the case that email addresses etc still have
Latin1, so I've seen emails where this is a mixed bag, with Signed-off
parts being copied from email (and containing Latin1 characters), and the
rest of the email being a patch in UTF-8.
So this suggests a very natural change: if the target character set is
utf-8 (the default), and if the source already looks like utf-8, just
assume that it doesn't need any conversion at all.
Only assume that it needs conversion if it isn't already valid utf-8, in
which case we (for historical reasons) will assume it's Latin1.
Basically no really _valid_ latin1 will ever look like utf-8, so while
this changes our historical behaviour, it doesn't do so in practice, and
makes the default behaviour saner for the case where the input was already
in proper format.
We could do a more fancy guess, of course, but this correctly handled a
series of patches I just got from Andrew that had a mixture of Latin1 and
UTF-8 (in different emails, but without any character set indication).

Do not expect unlink(2) to fail on a directory.
When "git checkout-index" checks out path A/B/C, it makes sure A
and A/B are truly directories; if there is a regular file or
symlink at A, we prefer to remove it.
We used to do this by catching an error return from mkdir(2),
and on EEXIST did unlink(2), and when it succeeded, tried
another mkdir(2).
Thomas Glanzmann found out the above does not work on Solaris
for a root user, as unlink(2) was so old fashioned there that it
allowed to unlink a directory.
As pointed out, this still doesn't guarantee that git won't call
"unlink()" on a directory (race conditions etc), but that's
fundamentally true (there is no "funlink()" like there is
"fstat()"), and besides, that is in no way git-specific (ie it's
true of any application that gets run as root).

git-svn: fix commiting renames over DAV with funky file names
Renaming files with non-URI friendly characters caused
breakage when committing to DAV repositories (over http(s)).
Even if I try leaving out the $self->{url} from the return value
of url_path(), a partial (without host), unescaped path name
does not work.
Filenames for DAV repos need to be URI-encoded before being
passed to the library. Since this bug did not affect file://
and svn:// repos, the git-svn test library needed to be expanded
to include support for starting Apache with mod_dav_svn enabled.
This new test is not enabled by default, but can be enabled by
setting SVN_HTTPD_PORT to any available TCP/IP port on
127.0.0.1.
Additionally, for running this test, the following variables
(with defaults shown) can be changed for the suitable system.

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.

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.

git-svn: remove leading slashes from fetch lines in the generate config
We were previously sensitive to leading slashes in the fetch
lines and incorrectly writing them to the config if the user
used them (needlessly) in the command-line.
This fixes the issue and allows us to play nicely with legacy
configs that have leading slashes in fetch lines.
Thanks to Bradford Smith for figuring this out for me:

More permissive "git-rm --cached" behavior without -f.
In the previous behavior, "git-rm --cached" (without -f) had the same
restriction as "git-rm". This forced the user to use the -f flag in
situations which weren't actually dangerous, like:
$ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this
$ git rm --cached foo # back to initial situation
Previously, the index had to match the file *and* the HEAD. With
--cached, the index must now match the file *or* the HEAD. The behavior
without --cached is unchanged, but provides better error messages.

Add pack-objects window memory usage limit
This adds an option (--window-memory=N) and configuration variable
(pack.windowMemory = N) to limit the memory size of the pack-objects
delta search window. This works by removing the oldest unpacked objects
whenever the total size goes above the limit. It will always leave
at least one object, though, so as not to completely eliminate the
possibility of computing deltas.
This is an extra limit on top of the normal window size (--window=N);
the window will not dynamically grow above the fixed number of entries
specified to fill the memory limit.
With this, repacking a repository with a mix of large and small objects
is possible even with a very large window.

Don't try to delta if target is much smaller than source
Add a new try_delta heuristic. Don't bother trying to make a delta if
the target object size is much smaller (currently 1/32) than the source,
as it's very likely not going to get a match. Even if it does, you will
have to read at least 32x the size of the new file to reassemble it,
which isn't such a good deal. This leads to a considerable performance
improvement when deltifying a mix of small and large files with a very
large window, because you don't have to wait for the large files to
percolate out of the window before things start going fast again.

apply delta depth bias to already deltified objects
We already apply a bias on the initial delta attempt with max_size being
a function of the base object depth. This has the effect of favoring
shallower deltas even if deeper deltas could be smaller, and therefore
creating a wider delta tree (see commits 4e8da195 and c3b06a69).
This principle should also be applied to all delta attempts for the same
object and not only the first attempt. With this the criteria for the
best delta is not only its size but also its depth, so that a shallower
delta might be selected even if it is larger than a deeper one. Even if
some deltas get larger, they allow for wider delta trees making the
depth limit less quickly reached and therefore better deltas can be
subsequently found, keeping the resulting pack size even smaller.
Runtime access to the pack should also benefit from shallower deltas.
Testing on different repositories showed slighter faster repacks,
smaller resulting packs, and a much nicer curve for delta depth
distribution with no more peak at the maximum depth level.
Improvements are even more significant with smaller depth limits.

gitk: Improve handling of -- and ambiguous arguments
This makes gitk more consistent with git rev-list and git log in its
handling of arguments that could be either a revision or a filename;
now gitk displays an error message and quits, rather than treating it
as a revision and getting an error in the underlying git log. Now
gitk always passes "--" to git log even if no filenames are being
specified.
It also makes gitk display errors in invoking git log in a window
rather than on stderr, and makes gitk stop looking for a -d flag
when it sees a "--" argument.

Teach read-tree 2-way merge to ignore intermediate symlinks
Earlier in 16a4c61, we taught "read-tree -m -u" not to be
confused when switching from a branch that has a path frotz/filfre
to another branch that has a symlink frotz that points at xyzzy/
directory. The fix was incomplete in that it was still confused
when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/
to another branch with frotz/filfre).
This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created
we would need to see if any of the leading component of that
path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case,
we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already
decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already
know that symbolic link is going away as there is no D/F
conflict).

Johannes originally submitted a patch to this section of commit.tcl
to use `git rev-parse $PARENT:`, but not all versions of Git will
accept that format. So I'm just taking the really simple approach
here of scanning the first line of the commit to grab its tree.

branch --track: code cleanup and saner handling of local branches
This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a
cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a
little in the process. This also enables us to fix two cases:
The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong. You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches. The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.
Another corner case was not handled properly. If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

suggests.
The function remote_find_tracking() was extended to be able to
search remote refs for a given local ref. The caller sets
either src or dst (but not both) in the refspec parameter, and
remote_find_tracking() will fill in the other and return 0.

Makefile: rebuild git.o on version change, clean up git$X flags
Commit 334d28ae factored out git.o as an intermediate stage between

- It left some no-longer-relevant flags in the rule for git$X.
- It failed to replace git$X with git.o in the list of files that
record GIT_VERSION. This broke incorporation of a changed
GIT_VERSION into git$X because, when GIT_VERSION changes, git.o isn't

old GIT_VERSION.

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.
