Make git-fsck-cache error printouts a bit more informative.
Show the types of objects involved in broken links, and don't bother
warning about unreachable tag files (if somebody cares about tags,
they'll use the --tags flag to see them).
...since everything out there is either strange (libc mktime has issues
with timezones) or introduces unnecessary dependencies for people (libcurl).
This goes back to the old date parsing, but moves it out into a file of
its own, and does the "struct tm" to "seconds since epoch" handling by
hand.
I grepped through the tz-database and it seems there's one "country"
left that has non-60-minute DST: Lord Howe Island. All others dropped
that before 1970.
This switches git-commit-tree to using curl_getdate() for the
AUTHOR_DATE, and thus fixes the problem with "mktime()" parsing dates in
the local timezone. It also ends up being more permissive about the
format of the date.

[PATCH] GIT: Create tar archives of tree on the fly
Write commit ID to global extended pax header at the beginning of the tar
file, if possible. get-tar-commit-id.c is an example program to get the
ID back out of such a tar archive.
Rename git core commands to be "git-xxxx" to avoid name clashes.
This also regularizes the make. The source files themselves don't get
the "git-" prefix, because that's just inconvenient. So instead we just
make the rule that "git-xxxx" depends on "xxxx.c", and do that for
all the core programs (ie the old "git-mktag.c" got renamed to just
"mktag.c" to match everything else).
And "show-diff" got renamed to "git-diff-files" while at it, since
that's what it really should be to match the other git-diff-xxx cases.
[PATCH] GIT: Honour SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY env var in git-pull-script
If you set SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY to something else than .git/objects
git-pull-script will store the fetched files in a location the rest of
the tools does not expect.
git-prune-script also ignores this setting, but I think this is good,
because pruning a shared tree to fit a single project means throwing
away a lot of useful data. :-)
[PATCH] Use read_object_with_reference() in tar-tree
This patch replaces the usage of read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1()
with read_object_with_reference() in tar-tree. As a result the code
that tries to figure out the commit time doesn't need to open the commit
object 'by hand' any more.
[PATCH] Rename and extend read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1
This patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
This is an improved version of tar-tree, a streaming archive creator for
GIT. The major added feature is blocking; all write(2) calls now have a
size of 10240, just as GNU tar (and tape drives) likes them. The
buffering overhead does not seem to degrade performance because most
files in the repositories I tested this with are smaller than 10KB, so
we need fewer system calls.
File names are still restricted to 500 bytes and the archive format
currently only allows for files up to 8GB. Both restrictions can be
lifted if need be with more pax extended headers.
The archive format used is the pax interchange format, i.e. POSIX tar
format. It can be read by (and created with) GNU tar. If I read the
specs correctly tar-tree should now be standards compliant (modulo
bugs).
Because it streams the archive (think ls-tree merged with cat-file),
tar-tree doesn't need to create any temporary files. That makes it
quite fast.
It accepts tree IDs and commit IDs as first parameter. In the latter
case tar-tree tries to get the commit date out of the committer line.
Else all files in the archive are time-stamped with the current time.
An optional second parameter is used as a path prefix for all files in
the archive. Example:
When diff-cache -p and friends are interrupted, they can leave
their temporary files behind. Also when the external diff
program is killed instead of exiting (this usually happens when
piping the output to a pager, which can cause SIGPIPE when the
user quits viewing the diff early), they incorrectly died
without cleaning their temporary file.
This fixes these problems.

[PATCH] Make diff-cache and friends output more cg-patch friendly.
This changes the way the default arguments to diff are built when
diff-cache and friends are invoked with -p and there is no
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable. It attempts to be more cg-patch
friendly by:
- Showing diffs against /dev/null to denote added or removed
files;
- Showing file modes for existing files as a comment after the
diff label.
Unfortunately with this change GIT_DIFF_CMD customization cannot
be supported easily anymore, so it has been dropped.
GIT_DIFF_OPTS customization to change diffs from unified to
context is still there, though.

With the recent "no-patch-by-default" change, the -s flag to the
show-diff command (and silent variable in the show-diff.c) became
meaningless. This deprecates it.
Cogito uses "show-diff -s" for the purpose of "I do not want the patch
text. I just want to know if something has potentially changed, in
which case I know you will have some output. I'll run update-cache
--refresh if you say something", so we cannot barf on seeing -s on our
command line yet.

The "base" string already contains any finishing "/", so the way
to get the full pathname is to just concatenate the base and
path directly, with no extra slashes in between.
Junio pointed out that diff-cache didn't handle the case of a new file
that was different from its index entry correctly. It needs to check
the working copy the same way the modified file case did.
This introduces three public functions for diff-cache and friends can
use to call out to the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF program when they wish to.
A normal "add/remove/change" entry is turned into 7-parameter process
invocation of GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF program as before. In addition, the
program can now be called with a single parameter when diff-cache and
friends want to report an unmerged path.

We've always warned about them properly, but we would then do the
wrong thing if that filename existed in the tree we were comparing
against (we'd think the file has been deleted, because we forgot
about the unmerged cases).
diff-cache attempts to first remove all merge entries before letting the
diff_cache() do its work, but it incorrectly stops after the first
merge-entry it finds.
Fix by just replacing the "break" with a "continue".

This reworks the diff-tree-helper and show-diff to further make external
diff command interface simpler.
These commands now honor GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable which
can point at an arbitrary program that takes 7 parameters:
name file1 file1-sha1 file1-mode file2 file2-sha1 file2-mode
The parameters for an external diff command are as follows:
name this invocation of the command is to emit diff
for the named cache/tree entry.
file1 pathname that holds the contents of the first
file. This can be a file inside the working
tree, or a temporary file created from the blob
object, or /dev/null. The command should not
attempt to unlink it -- the temporary is
unlinked by the caller.
file1-sha1 sha1 hash if file1 is a blob object, or "."
otherwise.
file1-mode mode bits for file1, or "." for a deleted file.
If GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable is not set, the
default is to invoke diff with the set of parameters old
show-diff used to use. This built-in implementation honors the
GIT_DIFF_CMD and GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variables as before.

This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper. It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.
- As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
commands.
- The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff. It does not
matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.
- The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
appears in the output. Again this is useful to use with
diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
restriction parameters.

The git archives have some old-date-format commits with timezones
that the converter didn't recognize. Also, make it be quiet about
already-converted dates.
This adds an --ignore-missing option to update-cache, which makes it
ignore missing files. Together with the "-n" option to checkout-cache,
it allows me to do
checkout-cache -n -f -a && update-cache --ignore-missing --refresh
which only updates and refreshes the files I already have checked out.
We should _not_ mark a blob object "parsed" just because we
looked it up: it gets marked that way only once we've actually
seen it. Otherwise we can never notice a missing blob.
This is based on a patch by David Woodhouse, but with the selection
tests much simplified and streamlined.
It makes diff-tree take extra arguments, specifying the files or
directories which should be considered "interesting". Changes in
uninteresting directories are not reported.

1) permissions aren't respected in the merge script (primarily because
they're never passed in to it in the first place). Fix that and also
check for permission conflicts in the merge
2) the delete of a file in both branches may indeed be just that, but it
could also be the indicator of a rename conflict (file moved to
different locations in both branches), so error out and ask the
committer for guidance.

This patch adds three similar and related programs. http-pull downloads
objects from an HTTP server; rpull downloads objects by using ssh and
rpush on the other side; and rpush uploads objects by using ssh and rpull
on the other side.
The algorithm should be sufficient to make the network throughput required
depend only on how much content is new, not at all on how much content the
repository contains.
The combination should enable people to have remote repositories by way of
ssh login for authenticated users and HTTP for anonymous access.

Make "convert-cache" able to handle the really old archive formats
This includes the old-style "flat tree" object, and the old broken
date format. Well, enough of the date format to convert the sparse
archive, at least.
We really don't care about atime, and it sucks to dirty the
inode cache just for it.
This is more than a one-liner only because we need to be able to
clear the O_NOATIME flag in case some of the objects are owned
by others (in which case open will return EPERM), and because not
everybody has the O_NOATIME flag.
Here is a SHA1 implementation with the core written in PPC assembly.

version or 45MB/s for the mozilla version.

This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be
correct too.
Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just
read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the
resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were
all getting to.
Add support for alternate SHA1 library implementations.
This one includes the Mozilla SHA1 implementation sent in by Edgar Toernig.
It's dual-licenced under MPL-1.1 or GPL, so in the context of git, we
obviously use the GPL version.
Side note: the Mozilla SHA1 implementation is about twice as fast as the
default openssl one on my G5, but the default openssl one has optimized
x86 assembly language on x86. So choose wisely.
Add support for a "GIT_INDEX_FILE" environment variable.
We use that to specify alternative index files, which can be useful
if you want to (for example) generate a temporary index file to do
some specific operation that you don't want to mess with your main
one with.
It defaults to the regular ".git/index" if it hasn't been specified.
