let pack-objects do the writing of unreachable objects as loose objects
Commit ccc1297226b184c40459e9d373cc9eebfb7bd898 changed the behavior
of 'git repack -A' so unreachable objects are stored as loose objects.
However it did so in a naive and inn efficient way by making packs
about to be deleted inaccessible and feeding their content through
'git unpack-objects'. While this works, there are major flaws with
this approach:
- It is unacceptably sloooooooooooooow.
In the Linux kernel repository with no actual unreachable objects,
doing 'git repack -A -d' before:
real 2m33.220s
user 2m21.675s
sys 0m3.510s
And with this change:
real 0m36.849s
user 0m24.365s
sys 0m1.950s
For reference, here's the timing for 'git repack -a -d':
real 0m35.816s
user 0m22.571s
sys 0m2.011s
This is explained by the fact that 'git unpack-objects' was used to
unpack _every_ objects even if (almost) 100% of them were thrown away.
- There is a black out period.
Between the removal of the .idx file for the redundant pack and the
completion of its unpacking, the unreachable objects become completely
unaccessible. This is not a big issue as we're talking about unreachable
objects, but some consistency is always good.
- There is no way to easily set a sensible mtime for the newly created
unreachable loose objects.
So, while having a command called "pack-objects" to perform object
unpacking looks really odd, this is probably the best compromize to be
able to solve the above issues in an efficient way.

builtin-gc.c: deprecate --prune, it now really has no effect
git-gc: always use -A when manually repacking
Now that repack -A will leave unreferenced objects unpacked, there is
no reason to use the -a option to repack (which will discard unreferenced
objects). The unpacked unreferenced objects will not be repacked by a
subsequent repack, and will eventually be pruned by git-gc based on the
gc.pruneExpire config option.
Now that repack -A will leave unreferenced objects unpacked, there is
no reason to use the -a option to repack (which will discard unreferenced
objects). The unpacked unreferenced objects will not be repacked by a
subsequent repack, and will eventually be pruned by git-gc based on the
gc.pruneExpire config option.
repack: modify behavior of -A option to leave unreferenced objects unpacked
The previous behavior of the -A option was to retain any previously
packed objects which had become unreferenced, and place them into the newly
created pack file. Since git-gc, when run automatically with the --auto
option, calls repack with the -A option, this had the effect of retaining
unreferenced packed objects indefinitely. To avoid this scenario, the
user was required to run git-gc with the little known --prune option or
to manually run repack with the -a option.
This patch changes the behavior of the -A option so that unreferenced
objects that exist in any pack file being replaced, will be unpacked into
the repository. The unreferenced loose objects can then be garbage collected
by git-gc (i.e. git-prune) based on the gc.pruneExpire setting.
Also add new tests for checking whether unreferenced objects which were
previously packed are properly left in the repository unpacked after
repacking.

git-svn: Same default as cvsimport when using --use-log-author
When using git-cvsimport, the author is inferred from the cvs commit,
e.g. cvs commit logname is foobaruser, then the author field in git
results in:
Author: foobaruser <foobaruser>
Which is not perfect, but perfectly acceptable given the circumstances.
The default git-svn import however, results in:
Author: foobaruser <foobaruser@acf43c95-373e-0410-b603-e72c3f656dc1>

repository, you'd like to harmonise the imports to the format cvsimport

git-svn supports an experimental option --use-log-author which currently
results in the same logentry as without that option when no From: or
Signed-off-by: is found in the logentry ($email currently ends up empty,
and hence is generated again).

git-svn: detect and fail gracefully when dcommitting to a void
The command
git svn clone (URL of an empty SVN repo here)
works, creates an empty git repository. I can perform the initial
commit there, but then, "git svn dcommit" says :
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at .../git-svn line 414.
Committing to ...
Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history
I guess a correct management of the initial commit in git-svn would be
hard to implement, but at least, the error message can be improved.
First step is something like the patch below, and better would be for
"git svn clone" to warn that it won't be able to do much with the
cloned repo.

fix reflog approxidate parsing bug
In get_sha1_basic, we parse a string like
HEAD@{10 seconds ago}:path/to/file
into its constituent ref, reflog date, and path components.
We never actually munge the string itself, but instead keep
offsets into the string with their associated lengths.
When we call approxidate on the contents inside braces,
however, we pass just a string without a length. This means
that approxidate could sometimes look past the closing brace
and (erroneously) interpret the rest of the string as part
of the date.

gitweb: Use feed link according to current view
Michael G. Noll said in comments to the "Switching my code repository from
Subversion (SVN) to git" article (http://tinyurl.com/37v67l) in his "My
digital moleskine" blog, that one of the things he is missing in gitweb
from SVN::Web is an RSS feed with news/information of the current view
(including RSS feed for single file or directory).
This is not exactly true, as since refactoring feed generation in af6feeb
(gitweb: Refactor feed generation, make output prettier, add Atom feed,
2006-11-19), gitweb can generate feeds (RSS or Atom) for history of a
given branch, history limited to a given directory, or history of a given
file. Nevertheless this required handcrafting the URL to get wanted RSS
feed.
This commit makes gitweb select feed links in the HTML header and in
page footer depending on current view (action). It is more elaborate,
and I guess more correct, than simple patch adding $hash ('h')
parameter to *all* URLs, including feed links, by Jean-Baptiste Quenot
Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: Add hash parameter in feed URL when a hash
is specified in the current request
Message-ID: <ae63f8b50803211138y6355fd11pa64cda50a1f53011@mail.gmail.com>
If $hash ('h') or $hash_base ('hb') parameter is a branch name
(i.e. it starts with 'refs/heads/'; all generated URLs use this form
to discriminate between tags and heads), it is used in feed URLs; if
$file_name ('f') is defined, it is used in feed URLs. Feed title is
set according to the kind of web feed: it is either 'log' for generic
feed, 'log of <branch>', 'history of <filename>' for generic history
(using implicit or explicit HEAD, i.e. current branch) or 'history of
<filename> on <branch>'.
There are special cases: 'heads' and 'forks' views should use OPML
providing list of available feeds; 'tags' probably also should use
OPML; there is no web feed equivalent to 'search' view. Currently all
those cases fallback to (show) default feed. Such feed link uses
"generic" class, and is shown in slightly lighter color for
distinction.
Currently feed can have but one starting point, and does not support
negative (exclude) commit arguments. Therefore for now for *diff
views it is chosen that feed follow the "to" part: to-name, to-commit
for 'blobdiff', 'treediff' and 'commitdiff' views.
Generating parameters for href() for feed link was separated
(refactored) into get_feed_info() subroutine.

Optimize match_pathspec() to avoid fnmatch()
"git add *" is actually fundamentally different from "git add .", and
yeah, you should generally use the latter.
The reason? The argument list is actually something different from what
you think it is. For git, it's a "pathspec", so what actualy happens is
that in *both* cases, it will really traverse the whole tree, and then
match every file it finds against the pathspec.
So think of the arguments not as a file list, but as a random bunch of
patterns to match against the files you have!
Which is why the cost is actually approximately O(n*m), where "n" is the
size of the working tree, and "m" is the number of pathspecs.
So the reason "git add ." is fast is actually that "m" in that case is
just 1 (just one trivial pattern), and then "git add *" is slow because
"m" is large (lots of complicated patterns). In both cases, 'n' is the
same (== the whole set of files in your working tree).
Anyway, here's a trivial patch that doesn't change this fundamental fact,
but that avoids doing anything *expensive* until we've done some cheap
initial tests. It may or may not help your test-case, but it's pretty
simple and it matches the other git optimizations in this area (ie
"conceptually handle the general case, but optimize the simple cases where
we can exit early")
Notice how this patch doesn' actually change the fundamental O(n^2)
behaviour, but it makes it much cheaper by generally avoiding the
expensive 'fnmatch' and 'strlen/strncmp' when they are obviously not
needed.

Make walker.fetch_ref() take a struct ref.
This simplifies a few things, makes a few things slightly more
complicated, but, more importantly, allows that, when struct ref can
represent a symref, http_fetch_ref() can return one.
Incidentally makes the string that http_fetch_ref() gets include "refs/"
(if appropriate), because that's how the name field of struct ref works.
As far as I can tell, the usage in walker:interpret_target() wouldn't have
worked previously, if it ever would have been used, which it wouldn't
(since the fetch process uses the hash instead of the name of the ref
there).

force "git help -m" to use a different man, viewer, but if you have a
man viewer whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current

This patch adds a git config variable "man.<tool>.cmd" which allows a
more flexible man viewer choice.
If you run "git help -m GITCMD" with the "man.viewer" config variable
set to an unrecognized tool then it will query the "man.<tool>.cmd"
config variable. If this variable exists, then the specified tool will
be treated as a custom man viewer and it will be run in a shell with
the man page name of the GITCMD added as extra parameter.

help: use man viewer path from "man.<tool>.path" config var
This patch implements reading values from "man.<tool>.path"
configuration variables, and using these values as pathes to
the man viewer <tool>s when lauching them.
This makes it possible to use different version of the tools
than the one on the current PATH, or maybe a custom script.
In this patch we also try to launch "konqueror" using
"kfmclient" even if a path to a konqueror binary is given
in "man.konqueror.path".
The "man_viewer_list" becomes a simple string list to simplify
things for the following patches.

Since git-remote always uses remote tracking branches, it
should be safe to always force updates of those branches.
I.e., we should generate
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*
instead of
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/$remote/*
This was the behavior of the perl version, which seems to
have been lost in the C rewrite.

push: allow unqualified dest refspecs to DWIM
Previously, a push like:
git push remote src:dst
would go through the following steps:
1. check for an unambiguous 'dst' on the remote; if it
exists, then push to that ref
2. otherwise, check if 'dst' begins with 'refs/'; if it
does, create a new ref
3. otherwise, complain because we don't know where in the
refs hierarchy to put 'dst'
However, in some cases, we can guess about the ref type of
'dst' based on the ref type of 'src'. Specifically, before
complaining we now check:
2.5. if 'src' resolves to a ref starting with refs/heads
or refs/tags, then prepend that to 'dst'
So now this creates a new branch on the remote, whereas it
previously failed with an error message:
git push master:newbranch
Note that, by design, we limit this DWIM behavior only to
source refs which resolve exactly (including symrefs which
resolve to existing refs). We still complain on a partial
destination refspec if the source is a raw sha1, or a ref
expression such as 'master~10'.

t5516: remove ambiguity test (1)
This test tried to push into a remote with ambiguous refs in
remotes/$x/master and remotes/$y/master. However, the remote
never actually tells us about the refs/remotes hierarchy, so
we don't even see this ambiguity.
The test happened to pass because we were simply looking for
failure, and the test fails for another reason: the dst
refspec does not exist and does not begin with refs/, making
it invalid.

Don't force imap.host to be set when imap.tunnel is set
The documentation for git-imap-send suggests a tunnel setting such as
Tunnel = "ssh -q user@server.com /usr/bin/imapd ./Maildir 2> /dev/null"
which works wonderfully and doesn't require a username, password or port
setting.
However, git-imap-send currently requires that the imap.host variable be
set in the config even when it was unused. This patch changes imap-send
to only require that the imap.host setting is set if imap.tunnel is not
set. Otherwise, server.host is set to "tunnel" for reporting purposes.
