Fix git-remote for ActiveState Perl
For reason unknown a package in ActiveState Perl 5.8.7 must implement

Suggest unsetting core.bare when using new-workdir on a bare repository
If core.bare is set to true in the config file of a repository that
the user is trying to create a working directory from we should
abort and suggest to the user that they remove the option first.
If we leave the core.bare=true setting in the config file then
working tree operations will get confused when they attempt to
execute in the new workdir, as it shares its config file with the
bare repository. The working tree operations will assume that the
workdir is bare and abort, which is not what the user wants.
If we changed core.bare to be false then working tree operations
will function in the workdir but other operations may fail in the
bare repository, as it claims to not be bare.
If we remove core.bare from the config then Git can fallback on
the legacy guessing behavior. This allows operations in the bare
repository to work as though it were bare, while operations in the
workdirs to act as though they are not bare.

Include recent command history in fast-import crash reports
When we crash the frontend developer (or end-user) may need to know
roughly around what part of the input stream we had a problem with
and aborted on. Because line numbers aren't very useful in this
sort of application we instead just keep the last 100 commands in
a FIFO queue and print them as part of the crash report.
Currently one problem with this design is a commit that has
more than 100 modified files in it will flood the FIFO and any
context regarding branch/from/committer/mark/comments will be lost.
We really should save only the last few (10?) file changes for the
current commit, ensuring we have some prior higher level commands
in the FIFO when we crash on a file M/D/C/R command.
Another issue with this approach is the FIFO only includes the
commands, it does not include the commit messages. Yet having a
commit message may be useful to help locate the relevant change in
the source material. In practice I don't think this is going to be a
major concern as the frontend can always embed its own source change
set identifier as a comment (which will appear in the crash report)
and the commit message(s) for the most recent commits of any given
branch should be obtainable from the (packed) commit objects.

Generate crash reports on die in fast-import
As fast-import is quite strict about its input and die()'s anytime
something goes wrong it can be difficult for a frontend developer
to troubleshoot why fast-import rejected their input, or to even
determine what input command it rejected.
This change introduces a custom handler for Git's die() routine.
When we receive a die() for any reason (fast-import or a lower level
core Git routine we called) the error is first dumped onto stderr
and then a more extensive crash report file is prepared in GIT_DIR.
Finally we exit the process with status 128, just like the stock
builtin die handler.
An internal flag is set to prevent any further die()'s that may be
invoked during the crash report generator from causing us to enter
into an infinite loop. We shouldn't die() from our crash report
handler, but just in case someone makes a future code change we are
prepared to gaurd against small mistakes turning into huge problems
for the end-user.

Make trailing LF optional for all fast-import commands
For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands. In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.
To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf. This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code. In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

Teach fast-import to ignore lines starting with '#'
Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream. This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.
This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace. This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.
To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within
cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant
of the function. This is necessary to retain any lines of the
input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import.

cleanup the tree prior to creating an annotated tag object.
The reason we were rejecting the branch name was check_ref_format()
returns -2 when there are less than 2 '/' characters in the input
name. TAG_FIXUP has 0 '/' characters, but is technically just as
valid of a ref as HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, so we really should permit it
(and any other similar looking name) during import.
New test cases have been added to make sure we still detect very
wrong branch names (e.g. containing [ or starting with .) and yet
still permit reasonable names (e.g. TAG_FIXUP).

diff: squelch empty diffs even more
When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly
specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status
is not helpful.
The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that
is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field
max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes
it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
which only has one diff_options parameter.
This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of
max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with
a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late
in the rc game..
The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch()
to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the
suggestion to run git-status.

merge-recursive: do not rudely die on binary merge
When you try to merge a path that involves binary file-level
merge, merge-recursive died rudely without cleaning up its own
mess. A files added by the merge were left in the working tree,
but the index was not written out (because it just punted and
died), so it was cumbersome for the user to retry it by first
running "git reset --hard".
This changes merge-recursive to still warn but do the "binary"
merge for such a path; leave the "our" version in the working
tree, but still keep the path unmerged so that the user can sort
it out.

git-diff: squelch "empty" diffs
After starting to edit a working tree file but later when your edit ends
up identical to the original (this can also happen when you ran a
wholesale regexp replace with something like "perl -i" that does not
actually modify many of the paths), "git diff" between the index and the
working tree outputs many "empty" diffs that show "diff --git" headers
and nothing else, because these paths are stat-dirty. While it was a
way to warn the user that the earlier action of the user made the index
ineffective as an optimization mechanism, it was felt too loud for the
purpose of warning even to experienced users, and also resulted in
confusing people new to git.
This replaces the "empty" diffs with a single warning message at the
end. Having many such paths hurts performance, and you can run
"git-update-index --refresh" to update the lstat(2) information recorded
in the index in such a case. "git-status" does so as a side effect, and
that is more familiar to the end-user, so we recommend it to them.
The change affects only "git diff" that outputs patch text, because that
is where the annoyance of too many "empty" diff is most strongly felt,
and because the warning message can be safely ignored by downstream
tools without getting mistaken as part of the patch. For the low-level
"git diff-files" and "git diff-index", the traditional behaviour is
retained.

git-sh-setup.sh: make GIT_DIR absolute
Quite a few of the scripts are rather careless about using GIT_DIR
while changing directories.
Some try their hands (with different likelihood of success) in making
GIT_DIR absolute.
This patch lets git-sh-setup.sh cater for absolute directories (in a
way that should work reliably also with non-Unix path names) and
removes the respective kludges in git-filter-branch.sh and
git-instaweb.sh.

Allow git-svnimport to take "" as the trunk directory.
Some repositories started with the trunk in "/" and then moved it to the
standard "trunk/" location.
On these repositories, the correct thing would be to call git-svnimport -T "",
but because of the way the options are handled, it uses the default "trunk"
instead of the given empty string. This patch fixes that behaviour.

git-p4: Fix the sorting of changelists when cloning a Perforce repository.
When performing a git-p4 clone operation on a Perforce repository,
where the changelists change in order of magnitude (e.g. 100 to 1000),
the set of changes to import from is not sorted properly. This is
because the data in the list is strings not integers. The other place
where this is done already converts the value to an integer, so it is
not affected.

diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit code
As Wincent Colaiuta found out, it's a bit unexpected for git diff to
start a pager even when the --quiet option is specified. The problem
is that the pager hides the return code -- which is the only output
we're interested in in this case.
Push pager setup down into builtin-diff.c and don't start the pager
if --exit-code or --quiet (which implies --exit-code) was specified.

In fixing the "can't unset idinlist" error, I moved the setting of

Unfortunately this is incorrect in the case where we hit the break

This fixes it by moving the loop that sets up newolds and oldolds

These patches use docbook2x in order to create an info version of the

This facilitates $(DESTDIR)-based installations. The same could be
achieved with

perl is used for patching up sub-par file and directory information in
the Texinfo file. It would be cleaner to place the respective info
straight into user-manual.txt or the conversion configurations, but I

Optimize the three-way merge of git-read-tree
As mentioned, the three-way case *should* be as trivial as the
following. It passes all the tests, and I verified that a conflicting
merge in the 100,000 file horror-case merged correctly (with the conflict
markers) in 0.687 seconds with this, so it works, but I'm lazy and
somebody else should double-check it [jc: followed all three-way merge
codepaths and verified it removes when it should].
Without this patch, the merge took 8.355 seconds, so this patch
really does make a huge difference for merge performance with lots and
lots of files, and we're not talking percentages, we're talking
orders-of-magnitude differences!
Now "unpack_trees()" is just fast enough that we don't need to avoid it
(although it's probably still a good idea to eventually convert it to use
the traverse_trees() infrastructure some day - just to avoid having
extraneous tree traversal functions).

Actually, there is another bug nearby.
If you do:
git bundle create v2.6-20-v2.6.22.bndl v2.6.20..v2.6.22
the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct)
and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the
object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag.
This is because the revision range operation .. is always about
set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does
not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref()
against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the
head information in the commit.

Optimize the two-way merge of git-read-tree too
This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too,
which affects switching branches.
When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are
only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files
changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the
index calculations.
This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master"
branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches
only differ in one small file).
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master
real 0m9.919s
user 0m8.461s
sys 0m0.264s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing
real 0m0.576s
user 0m0.348s
sys 0m0.228s
so it's easily an order of magnitude different.
This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.
The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
- you want to remove the file entirely
- you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)
and you can avoid removing it if you either
- keep the old one
- or resolve it to a new one.
and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

only differ in one small file).
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master
real 0m9.919s
user 0m8.461s
sys 0m0.264s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing
real 0m0.576s
user 0m0.348s
sys 0m0.228s
so it's easily an order of magnitude different.
This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.
The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
- you want to remove the file entirely
- you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)
and you can avoid removing it if you either
- keep the old one
- or resolve it to a new one.
and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

Optimize the common cases of git-read-tree
This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily
remove and re-add the old index entries when they can just get replaced
by updated ones.
This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large"
is in the 50,000+ file range), because we don't unnecessarily move index
entries around in the index array all the time.
Using the "bummer" tree (a test-tree with 100,000 files) we get:
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500
real 0m9.470s
user 0m8.729s
sys 0m0.476s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500
real 0m1.173s
user 0m0.720s
sys 0m0.452s
so for large trees this is easily very noticeable indeed.
