unpack_trees(): protect the handcrafted in-core index from read_cache()
unpack_trees() rebuilds the in-core index from scratch by allocating a new
structure and finishing it off by copying the built one to the final
index.
The resulting in-core index is Ok for most use, but read_cache() does not
recognize it as such. The function is meant to be no-op if you already
have loaded the index, until you call discard_cache().
This change the way read_cache() detects an already initialized in-core
index, by introducing an extra bit, and marks the handcrafted in-core
index as initialized, to avoid this problem.
A better fix in the longer term would be to change the read_cache() API so
that it will always discard and re-read from the on-disk index to avoid
confusion. But there are higher level API that have relied on the current
semantics, and they and their users all need to get converted, which is
outside the scope of 'maint' track.
An example of such a higher level API is write_cache_as_tree(), which is
used by git-write-tree as well as later Porcelains like git-merge, revert
and cherry-pick. In the longer term, we should remove read_cache() from
there and add one to cmd_write_tree(); other callers expect that the
in-core index they prepared is what gets written as a tree so no other
change is necessary for this particular codepath.
The original version of this patch marked the index by pointing an
otherwise wasted malloc'ed memory with o->result.alloc, but this version
uses Linus's idea to use a new "initialized" bit, which is conceptually
much cleaner.
git help foo invokes man git-foo if foo is a git command, otherwise it
invokes man gitfoo. 'help' is not a git command, but the manual page is
called git-help, so add this special exception.

compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmitted
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.
IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.
Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

strategies are supported.
The sed script is written in such a way that it catches both old and new
message styles ("Available" vs "available", and the full stop at the end).
It also allows future versions of "git merge" to line-wrap the list of
strategies, and add extra comments, like this:

Could not find merge strategy 'help'.
Available strategies are: blame recursive octopus resolve ours

diff --check: do not get confused by new blank lines in the middle
The code remembered that the last diff output it saw was an empty line,
and tried to reset that state whenever it sees a context line, a non-blank
new line, or a new hunk. However, this codepath asks the underlying diff
engine to feed diff without any context, and the "just saw an empty line"
state was not reset if you added a new blank line in the last hunk of your
patch, even if it is not the last line of the file.
In handle_from, we calculate the end boundary of a section
to remove from a strbuf using strcspn like this:
el = strcspn(buf, set_of_end_boundaries);
strbuf_remove(&sb, start, el + 1);
This works fine if "el" is the offset of the boundary
character, meaning we remove up to and including that
character. But if the end boundary didn't match (that is, we
hit the end of the string as the boundary instead) then we
want just "el". Asking for "el+1" caught an out-of-bounds
assertion in the strbuf library.
This manifested itself when we got a 'From' header that had
just an email address with nothing else in it (the end of
the string was the end of the address, rather than, e.g., a
trailing '>' character), causing git-mailinfo to barf.

the pointer to the top of the boundary caused the program to go boom.

t5304-prune: adjust file mtime based on system time rather than file mtime
test-chmtime can adjust the mtime of a file based on the file's mtime, or
based on the system time. For files accessed over NFS, the file's mtime is
set by the NFS server, and as such may vary a great deal from the NFS
client's system time if the clocks of the client and server are out of
sync. Since these tests are testing the expire feature of git-prune, an
incorrect mtime could cause a file to be expired or not expired incorrectly
and produce a test failure.

mtime is adjusted based on the system time, rather than the file's mtime.

git-svn: Reduce temp file usage when dealing with non-links
git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp files
Git.pm: Add faculties to allow temp files to be cached
git-svn: Reduce temp file usage when dealing with non-links
Currently, in sub 'close_file', git-svn creates a temporary file and
copies the contents of the blob to be written into it. This is useful
for symlinks because svn stores symlinks in the form:
link $FILE_PATH
Git creates a blob only out of '$FILE_PATH' and uses file mode to
indicate that the blob should be interpreted as a symlink.
As git-hash-object is invoked with --stdin-paths, a duplicate of the
link from svn must be created that leaves off the first five bytes,
i.e. 'link '. However, this is wholly unnecessary for normal blobs,
though, as we already have a temp file with their contents. Copying
the entire file gains nothing, and effectively requires a file to be
written twice before making it into the object db.
This patch corrects that issue, holding onto the substr-like
duplication for symlinks, but skipping it altogether for normal blobs
by reusing the existing temp file.

git-svn: Make it incrementally faster by minimizing temp files
Currently, git-svn would create a temp file on four occasions:
1. Reading a blob out of the object db
2. Creating a delta from svn
3. Hashing and writing a blob into the object db
4. Reading a blob out of the object db (in another place in code)
Any time git-svn did the above, it would dutifully create and then
delete said temp file. Unfortunately, this means that between 2-4
temporary files are created/deleted per file 'add/modify'-ed in
svn (O(n)). This causes significant overhead and helps the inode
counter to spin beautifully.
By its nature, git-svn is a serial beast. Thus, reusing a temp file
does not pose significant problems. "truncate and seek" takes much
less time than "unlink and create". This patch centralizes the
tempfile creation and holds onto the tempfile until they are deleted
on exit. This significantly reduces file overhead, now requiring
at most three (3) temp files per run (O(1)).

After finding a MIME multi-part message boundary line, the handle_body()
function is supposed to first flush any accumulated contents from the
previous part to the output stream. However, the code mistakenly output
the boundary line it found.
The old code that used one global, fixed-length buffer line[] used an
alternate static buffer newline[] for keeping track of this accumulated
contents and flushed newline[] upon seeing the boundary; when 3b6121f
(git-mailinfo: use strbuf's instead of fixed buffers, 2008-07-13)
converted a fixed-length buffer in this program to use strbuf,these two
buffers were converted to "line" and "prev" (the latter of which now has a
much more sensible name) strbufs, but the code mistakenly flushed "line"
(which contains the boundary we have just found), instead of "prev".
This resulted in the first boundary to be output in front of the first
line of the message.
The rewritten implementation of handle_boundary() lost the terminating
newline; this would then result in the second line of the message to be
stuck with the first line.
The is_multipart_boundary() was designed to catch both the internal
boundary and the terminating one (the one with trailing "--"); this also
was broken with the rewrite, and the code in the handle_boundary() to
handle the terminating boundary was never triggered.
