More friendly message when locking the index fails.
Just saying that index.lock exists doesn't tell the user _what_ to do
to fix the problem. We should give an indication that it's normally

We display empty diffs for files whose timestamps have changed.
Usually, refreshing the index makes those empty diffs go away.
However, when not using the index they are not very useful and
there is no option to suppress them.
This forces on the skip_stat_unmatch option for diff --no-index,
suppressing any empty diffs. This option is also used for diffs
against the index when "diff.autorefreshindex" is set, but that
option does not apply to diff --no-index.

Make repack less likely to corrupt repository
fast-export: ensure we traverse commits in topological order
Clear the delta base cache if a pack is rebuilt
Some platforms refuse to rename a file that is open. When repacking an
already packed repository without adding any new object, the resulting
pack will contain the same set of objects as an existing pack, and on such
platforms, a newly created packfile cannot replace the existing one.
The logic detected this issue but did not try hard enough to recover from
it. Especially because the files that needs renaming come in pairs, there
potentially are different failure modes that one can be renamed but the
others cannot. Asking manual recovery to end users were error prone.
This patch tries to make it more robust by first making sure all the
existing files that need to be renamed have been renamed before
continuing, and attempts to roll back if some failed to rename.
This is based on an initial patch by Robin Rosenberg.
fast-export: ensure we traverse commits in topological order
fast-export will only list as parents those commits which have already
been traversed (making it appear as if merges have been squashed if not
all parents have been traversed). To avoid this silent squashing of
merge commits, we request commits in topological order.

There is some risk that re-opening a regenerated pack file with
different offsets could leave stale entries within the delta base
cache that could be matched up against other objects using the same
"struct packed_git*" and pack offset.
Throwing away the entire delta base cache in this case is safer,
as we don't have to worry about a recycled "struct packed_git*"
matching to the wrong base object, resulting in delta apply
errors while unpacking an object.

revision traversal and pack: notice and die on missing commit
cc0e6c5 (Handle return code of parse_commit in revision machinery,
2007-05-04) attempted to tighten error checking in the revision machinery,
but it wasn't enough. When get_revision_1() was asked for the next commit
to return, it tries to read and simplify the parents of the commit to be
returned, but an error while doing so was silently ignored and reported as
a truncated history to the caller instead.
This resulted in an early end of "git log" output or a pack that lacks
older commits from "git pack-objects", without any error indication in the
exit status from these commands, even though the underlying parse_commit()
issues an error message to the end user.
Note that the codepath in add_parents_list() that paints parents of an
UNINTERESTING commit UNINTERESTING silently ignores the error when
parse_commit() fails; this is deliberate and in line with aeeae1b
(revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing,
2009-01-27).
Clear the delta base cache during fast-import checkpoint
Otherwise we may reuse the same memory address for a totally
different "struct packed_git", and a previously cached object from
the prior occupant might be returned when trying to unpack an object
from the new pack.

gitweb: add $prevent_xss option to prevent XSS by repository content

The parameter n of unpack_callback() can have a value of up to
MAX_UNPACK_TREES. The check at the top of unpack_trees() (its only
(indirect) caller) makes sure it cannot exceed this limit.
unpack_callback() passes it and the array src to unpack_nondirectories(),
which has this loop:
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
/* ... */
src[i + o->merge] = o->df_conflict_entry;
o->merge can be 0 or 1, so unpack_nondirectories() potentially accesses
the array src at index MAX_UNPACK_TREES. This patch makes it big enough.

send-pack: do not send unknown object name from ".have" to pack-objects
v1.6.1 introduced ".have" extension to the protocol to allow the receiving
side to advertise objects that are reachable from refs in the repositories
it borrows from. This was meant to be used by the sending side to avoid
sending such objects; they are already available through the alternates
mechanism.
The client side implementation in v1.6.1, which was introduced with 40c155f (push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the
receiver, 2008-09-09) aka v1.6.1-rc1~203^2~1, were faulty in that it did
not consider the possiblity that the repository receiver borrows from
might have objects it does not know about.
This fixes it by refraining from passing missing commits to underlying
pack-objects. Revision machinery may need to be tightened further to
treat missing uninteresting objects as non-error events, but this is an
obvious and safe fix for a maintenance release that is almost good enough.
diff.c: output correct index lines for a split diff
A patch that changes the filetype (e.g. regular file to symlink) of a path
must be split into a deletion event followed by a creation event, which
means that we need to have two independent metainfo lines for each.
However, the code reused the single set of metainfo lines.
As the blob object names recorded on the index lines are usually not used
nor validated on the receiving end, this is not an issue with normal use
of the resulting patch. However, when accepting a binary patch to delete
a blob, git-apply verified that the postimage blob object name on the
index line is 0{40}, hence a patch that deletes a regular file blob that
records binary contents to create a blob with different filetype (e.g. a
symbolic link) failed to apply. "git am -3" also uses the blob object
names recorded on the index line, so it would also misbehave when
synthesizing a preimage tree.
This moves the code to generate metainfo lines around, so that two
independent sets of metainfo lines are used for the split halves.
Additional tests by Jeff King.

Rename detection: Avoid repeated filespec population
In diffcore_rename, we assume that the blob contents in the filespec
aren't required anymore after estimate_similarity has been called and thus
we free it. But estimate_similarity might return early when the file sizes
differ too much. In that case, cnt_data is never set and the next call to
estimate_similarity will populate the filespec again, eventually rereading
the same blob over and over again.
To fix that, we first get the blob sizes and only when the blob contents
are actually required, and when cnt_data will be set, the full filespec is
populated, once.

When HEAD is detached, --all should list it, too, logically, as a

It is especially necessary to list it when garbage collecting, as

Noticed by Thomas Rast.
Note that this affects creating bundles with --all; I contend that it
is a good change to add the HEAD, so that cloning from such a bundle
will give you a current branch. However, I had to fix t5701 as it

If the current working directory is a subdirectory of the gitdir (e.g.
<repo>/.git/refs/), then setup_git_directory_gently() will climb its
parent directories until it finds itself in a gitdir. However, no
matter how many parent directories it climbs, it sets
'GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT' to ".", which is obviously wrong.
This behaviour affected at least 'git rev-parse --git-dir' and hence
caused some errors in bash completion (e.g. customized command prompt
when on a detached head and completion of refs).
To fix this, we set the absolute path of the found gitdir instead.

The function lock_remote() sends MKCOL requests to make leading

By leaving the '/' in place, we can avoid this additional step.
