The code to guess an output archive's format consumed any --format
options and built a new one. Jonathan noticed that it does so in an
unsafe way, risking to overflow the static buffer fmt_opt.
Change the code to keep the existing --format options intact and to only
add a new one if a format could be guessed based on the output file name.
The new option is added as the first one, allowing the existing ones to
overrule it, i.e. explicit --format options given on the command line win
over format guesses, as before.
To simplify the code further, format_from_name() is changed to return the
full --format option, thus no potentially dangerous sprintf() calls are
needed any more.

This function did not work on strings that were not NUL-terminated. It
reads through a length-bounded string, searching for characters in need of
quoting. After we find one, we output the quoted character, then advance
our pointer to find the next one. However, we never decremented the
length, meaning we ended up looking at whatever random junk was stored
after the string.
This bug was not found by the existing tests because most code paths feed
a NUL-terminated string. The notable exception is a directory name being
fed by ls-tree.

Revert the previous attempt to skip this test on platforms where we
currently cannot determine the system load. We want to make sure that
the max-load-limit codepath produces results cleanly, when gitweb is
updated and becomes capable of reading the load average by some other
method.
The code to check for load returns 0 if it doesn't know how to find
load. It also checks to see if the current load is higher than the
max load. So to force the script to quit early by setting the maxload
variable negative which should work for systems where we can detect
load (which should be a positive number) and systems where we can't
(where detected load is 0)

pack-objects: fix pack generation when using pack_size_limit
Current handling of pack_size_limit is quite suboptimal. Let's consider
a list of objects to pack which contain alternatively big and small
objects (which pretty matches reality when big blobs are interlaced
with tree objects). Currently, the code simply close the pack and opens
a new one when the next object in line breaks the size limit.
The current code may degenerate into:
- small tree object => store into pack #1
- big blob object busting the pack size limit => store into pack #2
- small blob but pack #2 is over the limit already => pack #3
- big blob busting the size limit => pack #4
- small tree but pack #4 is over the limit => pack #5
- big blob => pack #6
- small tree => pack #7
- ... and so on.
The reality is that the content of packs 1, 3, 5 and 7 could well be
stored more efficiently (and delta compressed) together in pack #1 if
the big blobs were not forcing an immediate transition to a new pack.
Incidentally this can be fixed pretty easily by simply skipping over
those objects that are too big to fit in the current pack while trying
the whole list of unwritten objects, and then that list considered from
the beginning again when a new pack is opened. This creates much fewer
smallish pack files and help making more predictable test cases for the
test suite.
This change made one of the self sanity checks useless so it is removed
as well. That check was rather redundant already anyway.

First of all, trying to run 'git verify-pack' on packs produced by
the tests using pack.packSizeLimit always failed. After lots of digging
and head scratching, it turns out that the preceeding test simulating
a SHA1 collision did leave the repository quite confused, impacting
subsequent tests.
So let's move that destructive test last, and add tests to run
verify-pack on the output from those packSizeLimit tests to catch such
goofage.
Finally, group those packSizeLimit tests together.

This changes slightly the behavior of gitweb, so that it verifies
that the box isn't inundated with before attempting to serve gitweb.
If the box is overloaded, it basically returns a 503 Server Unavailable
until the load falls below the defined threshold. This helps dramatically
if you have a box that's I/O bound, reaches a certain load and you
don't want gitweb, the I/O hog that it is, increasing the pain the
server is already undergoing.
This behavior is controlled by $maxload configuration variable.
Default is a load of 300, which for most cases should never be hit.
Unset it (set it to undefined value, i.e. undef) to turn off checking.
Currently it requires that '/proc/loadavg' file exists, otherwise the
load check is bypassed (load is taken to be 0). So platforms that do
not implement '/proc/loadavg' currently cannot use this feature
(provisions are included for additional checks to be added by others).
There is simple test in t/t9501-gitweb-standalone-http-status.sh to
check that it correctly returns "503 Service Unavailable" if load is
too high, and also if there are any Perl warnings or errors.

This patch enables the use of themed Tk widgets with Tk 8.5 and above.
These make a significant difference on Windows in making the
application appear native. On Windows and MacOSX ttk defaults to the
native look as much as possible. On X11 the user may select a theme
using the TkTheme XRDB resource class by adding an line to the
.Xresources file. The set of installed theme names is available using
the Tk command 'ttk::themes'. The default on X11 is similar to the current
un-themed style - a kind of thin bordered motif look.
A new git config variable 'gui.usettk' may be set to disable this if
the user prefers the classic Tk look. Using Tk 8.4 will also avoid the
use of themed widgets as these are only available since 8.5.
Some support is included for Tk 8.6 features (themed spinbox and native
font chooser for MacOSX and Windows).
