gitweb: URL-decode $my_url/$my_uri when stripping PATH_INFO
When gitweb is used as a DirectoryIndex, it attempts to strip
PATH_INFO on its own, as $cgi->url() fails to do so.
However, it fails to account for the fact that PATH_INFO has
already been URL-decoded by the web server, but the value
returned by $cgi->url() has not been. This causes the stripping
to fail whenever the URL contains encoded characters.
To see this in action, setup gitweb as a DirectoryIndex and
then use it on a repository with a directory containing a
space in the name. Navigate to tree view, examine the gitweb
generated html and you'll see a link such as:
<a href="/test.git/tree/HEAD:/directory with spaces">directory with spaces</a>
When clicked on, the browser will URL-encode this link, giving
a $cgi->url() of the form:
/test.git/tree/HEAD:/directory%20with%20spaces
While PATH_INFO is:
/test.git/tree/HEAD:/directory with spaces
Fix this by calling unescape() on both $my_url and $my_uri before
stripping PATH_INFO from them.

git svn: reset invalidates the memoized mergeinfo caches
Since v1.7.0-rc2~11 (git-svn: persistent memoization, 2010-01-30),
git-svn has maintained some private per-repository caches in
.git/svn/.caches to avoid refetching and recalculating some
mergeinfo-related information with every 'git svn fetch'.
This memoization can cause problems, e.g consider the following case:
SVN repo:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
\ /
d - e <- branch1
The Git import of the above repo is at commit 'a' and doesn't know about
the branch1. In case of an 'git svn rebase', only the trunk of the
SVN repo is imported. During the creation of the git commit 'm', git svn
uses the svn:mergeinfo property and tries to find the corresponding git
commit 'e' to create 'm' with 'c' and 'e' as parents. But git svn rebase
only imports the current branch so commit 'e' is not imported.
Therefore git svn fails to create commit 'm' as a merge commit, because one
of its parents is not known to git. The imported history looks like this:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
A later 'git svn fetch' to import all branches can't rewrite the commit 'm'
to add 'e' as a parent and to make it a real git merge commit, because it
was already imported.
That's why the imported history misses the merge and looks like this:
... - a - b - c - m <- trunk
\
d - e <- branch1
Right now the only known workaround for importing 'm' as a merge is to
force reimporting 'm' again from SVN, e.g. via
Sadly, this is where the behavior has regressed: git svn reset doesn't
invalidate the old mergeinfo cache, which is no longer valid for the
reimport, which leads to 'm' beeing imprted with only 'c' as parent.
As solution to this problem, this commit invalidates the mergeinfo cache
to force correct recalculation of the parents.
During development of this patch, several ways for invalidating the cache
where considered. One of them is to use Memoize::flush_cache, which will
call the CLEAR method on the underlying Memoize persistency implementation.
Sadly, neither Memoize::Storable nor the newer Memoize::YAML module
introduced in 68f532f4ba888 could optionally be used implement the
CLEAR method, so this is not an option.
Reseting the internal hash used to store the memoized values has the same
problem, because it calls the non-existing CLEAR method of the
underlying persistency layer, too.
Considering this and taking into account the different implementations
of the memoization modules, where Memoize::Storable is not in our control,
implementing the missing CLEAR method is not an option, at least not if
Memoize::Storable is still used.
Therefore the easiest solution to clear the cache is to delete the files
on disk in 'git svn reset'. Normally, deleting the files behind the back
of the memoization module would be problematic, because the in-memory
representation would still exist and contain wrong data. Fortunately, the
memoization is active in memory only for a small portion of the code.
Invalidating the cache by deleting the files on disk if it isn't active
should be safe.

git svn: handle errors and concurrent commits in dcommit
dcommit didn't handle errors returned by SVN and coped very
poorly with concurrent commits that appear in SVN repository
while dcommit was running. In both cases it left git repository
in inconsistent state: index (which was reset with `git reset
--mixed' after a successful commit to SVN) no longer matched the
checkouted tree, when the following commit failed or needed to be
rebased. See http://bugs.debian.org/676904 for examples.
This patch fixes the issues by:
- introducing error handler for dcommit. The handler will try
to rebase or reset working tree before returning error to the
end user. dcommit_rebase function was extracted out of cmd_dcommit
to ensure consistency between cmd_dcommit and the error handler.
- calling `git reset --mixed' only once after all patches are
successfully committed to SVN. This ensures index is not touched
for most of the time of dcommit run.

check-docs: get documented command list from Makefile
The current code tries to get a list of documented commands
by doing "ls Documentation/git*txt" and culling a bunch of
special cases from the result. Looking for "git-*.txt" would
be more accurate, but would miss a few commands like
"gitweb" and "gitk".
Fortunately, Documentation/Makefile already knows what this
list is, so we can just ask it. Annoyingly, we still have to
post-process its output a little, since make will print
extra cruft like "GIT-VERSION-FILE is up to date" to stdout.
Now that our list is accurate, we can remove all of the ugly
special-cases.

While we're at it, let's capitalize the first letter of
their one-line summaries to match the rest of the git
manpages.
The credential-cache--daemon command is somewhat special. It
is already ignored by check-docs because it contains a "--",
marking it as a non-interesting implementation detail. It
is, in fact, documented, but since the documentation
basically just redirects you to a more appropriate command
anyway, let's explicitly omit it so it is not mentioned in
git(1).

it marks it to be displayed in a monospace font. This works
fine when generating HTML output. However, when generating
docbook output, we override the expansion of a listingblock
to work around bugs in some versions of the docbook
toolchain. Our override did not mark the listingblock with
the "monospaced" class.
The main output that uses docbook as an intermediate format
is the manpages. We didn't notice any issue there because
the monospaced class seems to be ignored when generating
roff from the docbook manpages.
However, when generating texinfo to make info pages, docbook
does respect this class. The resulting texinfo output
properly uses "@example" blocks to display the listing in
this case. Besides possibly looking prettier in some texinfo
backends, one important effect is that the monospace font
suppresses texinfo's expansion of "--" and "---" into
en-dashes and em-dashes. With the current code, the example
above ends up looking like "git log -merge", which is
confusing and wrong.

receive-pack: do not leak output from auto-gc to standard output
The standard output channel of receive-pack is a structured protocol
channel, and subprocesses must never be allowed to leak anything
into it by writing to their standard output.

t/t5400: demonstrate breakage caused by informational message from prune
When receive-pack triggers 'git gc --auto' and 'git prune' is called to
remove a stale temporary object, 'git prune' prints an informational
message to stdout about the file that it will remove. Since this message
is written to stdout, it is sent back over the transport channel to the git
client which tries to interpret it as part of the pack protocol and then
promptly terminates with a complaint about a protocol error.

and demonstrates this breakage.

terminal: seek when switching between reading and writing
When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"),
the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing
without an intervening positioning function. Many
implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc
will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer.
In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password
that the user just typed to the terminal.
Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and
write.
The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also
disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable
positioning function for that alternative.
