When renaming leading/a/filename to leading/b/filename (and
"filename" is sufficiently long), we tried to squash the rename
to "leading/{a => b}/filename". However, when "/a" or "/b" part
is empty, we underflowed and tried to print a substring of
length -1.

Change to allow subdir updates from Eclipse
Many fixes for most operations in Eclipse.
Added logged warnings for CVS error returns
cvsserver: use git-rev-list instead of git-log
git-cvsexportcommit: Add -f(orce) and -m(essage prefix) flags, small cleanups.
The offset of an object in the pack is recorded as a 4-byte integer
in the index file. When reading the offset from the mmap'ed index
in prepare_pack_revindex(), the address is dereferenced as a long*.
This works fine as long as the long type is four bytes wide. On
NetBSD/sparc64, however, a long is 8 bytes wide and so dereferencing
the offset produces garbage.

When multiple patches are passed to git-apply, it will attempt

When we cut off the front of a filename to make it fit on the line, we add
a "..." in front. However, the way the "git diff" code was written, we
will never reset the prefix back to the empty string, so every single
filename afterwards will have the "..." prefix, whether appropriate or
not.
You can see this with "git diff v2.6.16.." on the current kernel tree,
since there are filenames with long names that changed there:
notice how the two Documentation/firmware** filenames caused the "..." to
be added, but then the later filenames don't want it, and it also screws
up the alignment of the line numbering afterwards.
Trivially fixed by moving the declaration (and initial setting) of the
"prefix" variable into the for-loop where it is used.

Fix users of prefix_path() to free() only when necessary
Unfortunately, prefix_path() sometimes returns a newly xmalloc()ed buffer,

For example, when calling

original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from
what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.

* "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
binary patch. It implies --full-index and -p.
* "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
"apply --binary".
* After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms
defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the
deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
from the preimage to postimage.
For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed.
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

improve diff-delta with sparse and/or repetitive data
It is useless to preserve multiple hash entries for consecutive blocks
with the same hash. Keeping only the first one will allow for matching
the longest string of identical bytes while subsequent blocks will only
allow for shorter matches. The backward matching code will match the
end of it as necessary.
This improves both performances (no repeated string compare with long
successions of identical bytes, or even small group of bytes), as well
as compression (less likely to need random hash bucket entry culling),
especially with sparse files.
With well behaved data sets this patch doesn't change much.

The list of arguments to git-rev-list, including arguments that

If any arguments are given to gitk, they become part of the
"Command line" view, and the non-file arguments become the default
for any new views created.
Getting an error from git-rev-list is no longer fatal; instead the
error window pops up, and when you press OK, the main window just
shows "No commits selected".
The git-rev-list arguments are entered in an entry widget in the
view editor window using shell quoting conventions, not Tcl quoting
conventions.
