dir.c: make 'git-status --ignored' work within leading directories
'git-status --ignored path/' doesn't list ignored files and directories
within 'path' if some component of 'path' is classified as untracked.
Disable the DIR_SHOW_OTHER_DIRECTORIES flag while traversing leading
directories. This prevents treat_leading_path() with DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag
from aborting at the top level untracked directory.
As a side effect, this also eliminates a recursive directory scan per
leading directory level, as treat_directory() can no longer call
read_directory_recursive() when called from treat_leading_path().

'git-status --ignored' lists empty untracked directories as ignored, even
though they don't have any ignored files.
When checking if a directory is already listed as untracked (i.e. shouldn't

ignored files if it doesn't have untracked files, as the directory may be

transport-helper: pass --signed-tags=warn-strip to fast-export
Currently, attempting to push a signed tag to a remote helper which uses
fast-export results in the remote helper failing because the default
fast-export action for signed tags is "abort". This is not helpful for
users because there is no way to pass additional arguments to
fast-export here, either from the remote helper or from the command
line.
In general, the signature will be invalidated by whatever transformation
a remote helper performs on a tag to push it to a repository in a
different format so the correct behaviour is to strip the tag. Doing
this silently may surprise people, so use "warn-strip" to issue a
warning when a signed tag is encountered.

config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME
The changes v1.7.12.1~2^2~4 (config: warn on inaccessible files,
2012-08-21) and v1.8.1.1~22^2~2 (config: treat user and xdg config
permission problems as errors, 2012-10-13) were intended to prevent
important configuration (think "[transfer] fsckobjects") from being
ignored when the configuration is unintentionally unreadable (for
example with EIO on a flaky filesystem, or with ENOMEM due to a DoS
attack). Usually ~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git are readable by the
current user, and if they aren't then it would be easy to fix those
permissions, so the damage from adding this check should have been
minimal.
Unfortunately the access() check often trips when git is being run as
a server. A daemon (such as inetd or git-daemon) starts as "root",
creates a listening socket, and then drops privileges, meaning that
when git commands are invoked they cannot access $HOME and die with
fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied
Any patch to fix this would have one of three problems:
1. We annoy sysadmins who need to take an extra step to handle HOME
when dropping privileges (the current behavior, or any other
proposal that they have to opt into).
2. We annoy sysadmins who want to set HOME when dropping privileges,
either by making what they want to do impossible, or making them
set an extra variable or option to accomplish what used to work
(e.g., a patch to git-daemon to set HOME when --user is passed).
3. We loosen the check, so some cases which might be noteworthy are
not caught.
This patch is of type (3).
Treat user and xdg configuration that are inaccessible due to
permissions (EACCES) as though no user configuration was provided at
all.
An alternative method would be to check if $HOME is readable, but that
would not help in cases where the user who dropped privileges had a
globally readable HOME with only .config or .gitconfig being private.
This does not change the behavior when /etc/gitconfig or .git/config
is unreadable (since those are more serious configuration errors),
nor when ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git is unreadable due to problems
other than permissions.

doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth example
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).
Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.
While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).

Instead of using a single "slab" and keep reallocating it as we find
that we need to deal with commits with larger values of commit->index,
make a "slab" an array of many "slab_piece"s. Each access may need
two levels of indirections, but we only need to reallocate the first
level array of pointers when we have to grow the table this way.
commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demand
The "indegree" field in the commit object is only used while sorting
a list of commits in topological order, and wasting memory otherwise.
We would prefer to shrink the size of individual commit objects,
which we may have to hold thousands of in-core. We could eject
"indegree" field out from the commit object and represent it as a
dynamic table based on the decoration infrastructure, but the
decoration is meant for sparse annotation and is not a good match.
Instead, let's try a different approach.
- Assign an integer (commit->index) to each commit we keep in-core
(reuse the space of "indegree" field for it);
- When running the topological sort, allocate an array of integers
in bulk (called "slab"), use the commit->index as an index into
this array, and store the "indegree" information there.
This does _not_ reduce the memory footprint of a commit object, but
the commit->index can be used as the index to dynamically associate
commits with other kinds of information as needed.
test-bzr: portable shell and utf-8 strings for Mac OS
Make the shell script more portable:
- Split export X=Y into 2 lines
- Use printf instead of echo -e
Use UTF-8 code points which are not decomposed by the filesystem:
Code points like "á" will be decomposed by Mac OS X.
bzr is unable to find the file "á" on disk.
Use code points from unicode which can not be decomposed.
In other words, the precompsed form use the same bytes as decomposed.

line_log_data has held a diff_filespec* since the very early versions
of the code. However, the only place in the code where we actually
need the full filespec is parse_range_arg(); in all other cases, we
are only interested in the path, so there is hardly a reason to store
a filespec. Even worse, it causes a lot of redundant ->spec->path
pointer dereferencing.
And *even* worse, it caused the following bug. If you merge a rename
with a modification to the old filename, like so:
we internally -- in process_ranges_merge_commit() -- scan all parents.
We are mainly looking for one that doesn't have any modifications, so
that we can assign all the blame to it and simplify away the merge.
In doing so, we run the normal machinery on all parents in a loop.
For each parent, we prepare a "working set" line_log_data by making a
copy with line_log_data_copy(), which does *not* make a copy of the
spec.
Now suppose the rename is the first parent. The diff machinery tells
us that the filepair is ('foo', 'bar'). We duly update the path we
are interested in:
rg->spec->path = xstrdup(pair->one->path);
But that 'struct spec' is shared between the output line_log_data and
the original input line_log_data. So we just wrecked the state of
process_ranges_merge_commit(). When we get around to the second
parent, the ranges tell us we are interested in a file 'foo' while the
commits touch 'bar'.
So most of this patch is just s/->spec->path/->path/ and associated
management changes. This implicitly fixes the bug because we removed
the shared parts between input and output of line_log_data_copy(); it
is now safe to overwrite the path in the copy.
There's one only somewhat related change: the comment in
process_all_files() explains the reasoning behind using 'range' there.
That bit of half-correct code had me sidetracked for a while.

Documentation: add caveats about I/O buffering for check-{attr,ignore}
check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time. For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller. Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.
check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdin
Some callers, such as the git-annex web assistant, find it useful to
invoke git check-ignore as a persistent background process, which can
then have queries fed to its STDIN at any point, and the corresponding
response consumed from its STDOUT. For this we need to invoke
check_ignore() once per line of standard input, and flush standard
output after each result.
The above use case suggests that empty STDIN is actually a reasonable
scenario (e.g. when the caller doesn't know in advance whether any
queries need to be fed to the background process until after it's
already started), so we make the minor behavioural change that "no
pathspec given." is no longer emitted in when STDIN is empty.
Even though check_ignore() could now be changed to operate on a single
pathspec, we keep it operating on an array of pathspecs since that is
a more convenient way of consuming the existing pathspec API.

Initialisation of the dir_struct and path_exclude_check structs was
previously done within check_ignore(). This was acceptable since
check_ignore() was only called once per check-ignore invocation;
however the next commit will convert it into an inner loop which is
called once per line of STDIN when --stdin is given. Therefore moving
the initialisation code out into cmd_check_ignore() ensures that
initialisation is still only performed once per check-ignore
invocation, and consequently that the output is identical whether
pathspecs are provided as CLI arguments or via STDIN.

If `-n` or `--non-matching` are specified, non-matching pathnames will
also be output, in which case all fields in each output record except
for <pathname> will be empty. This can be useful when running
check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be
incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT
will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not. (Without
this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of
output for a given file meant that it didn't match any pattern, or
that the result simply hadn't been flushed to STDOUT yet.)
