Heavily expanded update hook to send more useful emails than the old hook
I know it's only an example, but having this might save someone else the
trouble of writing an enhanced version for themselves.
It basically does the same job as the old update hook, but with these
differences:
* The recipients list is read from the repository config file from
hooks.mailinglist
* Updating unannotated tags can be allowed by setting
hooks.allowunannotated
* Announcement emails (via annotated tag creation) can be sent to a
different mailing list by setting hooks.announcelist
* Output email is more verbose and generates specific content depending
on whether the ref is a tag, an annotated tag, a branch, or a
tracking branch
* The email is easier to filter; the subject line is prefixed with
[SCM] and a project description pulled from the "description" file
* It catches (and displays differently) branch updates that are
performed with a --force
Obviously, it's nothing that clever - it's the update hook I use on my
repositories but I've tried to keep it general, and tried to make the
output always relevant to the type of update.

UNIX reference time of 1970-01-01 00:00 is UTC timezone, not local time zone
I got bitten because in the UK (where one would expect 1970-01-01 00:00
to be UTC 0) some politicians decided to mess around with daylight
savings time from 1968 to 1971; it was permanently BST (+0100). That
means that on my computer the following is true:
$ date --date="1970-01-01 00:00" +"%F %T %z (%Z)"
1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0100 (BST)
This of course means that the --date argument to date is specified in
local time, not UTC. So when the hooks--update script does this:
date=$(date --date="1970-01-01 00:00:00 $ts seconds")
It's actually saying (in my timezone) "1970-01-01 01:00:00 UTC" + $ts.
Clearly this is wrong. The UNIX epoch started at midnight UTC not 1am
UTC.
This leads to the tagged time in hooks--update being shown as one hour
earlier than the true tagged time (in my timezone). The problem would
be worse for other timezones. For a +1300 timezone on 1970-01-01, the
tagged time would be 13 hours earlier. Oops.
The solution is to force the reference time to UTC, which is what this
patch does. In my timezone:
$ date --date="1970-01-01 00:00 +0000" +"%F %T %z (%Z)"
1970-01-01 01:00:00 +0100 (BST)

Compute accurate distances in git-describe before output.
My prior change to git-describe attempts to print the distance
between the input commit and the best matching tag, but this distance
was usually only an estimate as we always aborted revision walking
as soon as we overflowed the configured limit on the number of
possible tags (as set by --candidates).
Displaying an estimated distance is not very useful and can just be
downright confusing. Most users (heck, most Git developers) don't
immediately understand why this distance differs from the output
of common tools such as `git rev-list | wc -l`. Even worse, the
estimated distance could change in the future (including decreasing
despite no rebase occuring) if we find more possible tags earlier
on during traversal. (This could happen if more tags are merged
into the branch between queries.) These factors basically make an
estimated distance useless.
Fortunately we are usually most of the way through an accurate
distance computation by the time we abort (due to reaching the
current --candidates limit). This means we can simply finish
counting out the revisions still in our commit queue to present
the accurate distance at the end. The number of commits remaining
in the commit queue is probably less than the number of commits
already traversed, so finishing out the count is not likely to take
very long. This final distance will then always match the output of
`git rev-list | wc -l`.
We can easily reduce the total number of commits that need to be
walked at the end by stopping as soon as all of the commits in the
commit queue are flagged as being merged into the already selected
best possible tag. If that's true then there are no remaining
unseen commits which can contribute to our best possible tag's
depth counter, so further traversal is useless.
Basic testing on my Mac OS X system shows there is no noticable
performance difference between this accurate distance counting
version of git-describe and the prior version of git-describe,
at least when run on git.git.

If abbrev is set to zero in git-describe, don't add the unique suffix
When on a non-tag commit, git-describe normally outputs descriptions of
the form
v1.0.0-g1234567890
Some scripts (for example the update hook script) might just want to
know the name of the nearest tag, so they then have to do
x=$(git-describe HEAD | sed 's/-g*//')
This is costly, but more importantly is fragile as it is relying on the
output format of git-describe, which we would then have to maintain
forever.
This patch adds support for setting the --abbrev option to zero. In
that case git-describe does as it always has, but outputs only the
nearest found tag instead of a completely unique name. This means that
scripts would not have to parse the output format and won't need
changing if the git-describe suffix is ever changed.

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.

git-checkout -m: fix merge case
Commit c1a4278e switched the "merging checkout" implementation
from 3-way read-tree to merge-recursive, but forgot that
merge-recursive will signal an unmerged state with its own exit
status code. This prevented the clean-up phase (paths cleanly
merged should not be updated in the index) from running.

format-patch: fix bug with --stdout in a subdirectory
We set the output directory to the git subdirectory prefix if one has
not already been specified. However, in the case of --stdout, we
explicitly _don't_ want the output directory to be set. The result was
that "git-format-patch --stdout" in a directory besides the project root
produced the "standard output, or directory, which one?" error message.

fsck-objects: refactor checking for connectivity
This separates the connectivity check into separate codepaths,
one for reachable objects and the other for unreachable ones,
while adding a lot of comments to explain what is going on.
When checking an unreachable object, unlike a reachable one, we
do not have to complain if it does not exist (we used to
complain about a missing blob even when the only thing that
references it is a tree that is dangling). Also we do not have
to check and complain about objects that are referenced by an
unreachable object.
This makes the messages from fsck-objects a lot less noisy and
more useful.

Make sure git_connect() always give two file descriptors.
Earlier, git_connect() returned the same fd twice or two
separate fds, depending on the way the connection was made (when
we are talking to the other end over a single socket, we used
the same fd twice, and when our end is connected to a pipepair
we used two).
This forced callers who do close() and dup() to really care
which was which, and most of the existing callers got this
wrong, although without much visible ill effect. Many were
closing the same fd twice when we are talking over a single
socket, and one was leaking a fd.
This fixes it to uniformly use two separate fds, so if somebody
wants to close only reader side can just do close() on it
without worrying about it accidentally also closing the writer
side or vice versa.

Revert "prune: --grace=time"
This reverts commit 9b088c4e394df84232cfd37aea78349a495b09c1.
Protecting 'mature' objects does not make it any safer. We should
admit that git-prune is inherently unsafe when run in parallel with
other operations without involving unwarranted locking overhead,
and with the latest git, even rebase and reset would not immediately
create crufts anyway.
