This is a micro-optimization that grew out of the mailing list discussion
about "strlen()" showing up in profiles.
We used to pass regular C strings around to the low-level tree walking
routines, and while this worked fine, it meant that we needed to call
strlen() on strings that the caller always actually knew the size of
anyway.
So pass the length of the string down wih the string, and avoid
unnecessary calls to strlen(). Also, when extracting a pathname from a
tree entry, use "tree_entry_len()" instead of strlen(), since the length
of the pathname is directly calculable from the decoded tree entry itself
without having to actually do another strlen().
This shaves off another ~5-10% from some loads that are very tree
intensive (notably doing commit filtering by a pathspec).

Especially with the new index format to come, it is more appropriate
to encapsulate more into check_packed_git_idx() and assume less of the
index format in struct packed_git.
To that effect, the index_base is renamed to index_data with void * type
so it is not used directly but other pointers initialized with it. This
allows for a couple pointer cast removal, as well as providing a better
generic name to grep for when adding support for new index versions or
formats.
And index_data is declared const too while at it.

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names. The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.
To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'. In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations. In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.
The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created. Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

try-to-simplify-commit: use diff-tree --quiet machinery.
This uses diff-tree --quiet machinery to terminate the internal
diff-tree between a commit and its parents via revs.pruning (not
revs.diffopt) as soon as we find enough about the tree change.
With respect to the optionally given pathspec, we are interested
if the tree of commit is identical to the parent's, only adds
new paths to the parent's, or there are other differences. As
soon as we find out that there is one such other kind of
difference, we do not have to compare the rest of the tree.
Because we do not call standard diff_addremove/diff_change, we
instruct the diff-tree machinery to stop early by setting
has_changes when we say we found the trees to be different.
This adds the command line option 'quiet' to tell 'git diff-*'
that we are not interested in the actual diff contents but only
want to know if there is any change. This option automatically
turns --exit-code on, and turns off output formatting, as it
does not make much sense to show the first hit we happened to
have found.
The --quiet option is silently turned off (but --exit-code is
still in effect, so is silent output) if postprocessing filters
such as pickaxe and diff-filter are used. For all practical
purposes I do not think of a reason to want to use these filters
and not viewing the diff output.
The backends have not been taught about the option with this patch.
That is a topic for later rounds.
This introduces a new command-line option: --exit-code. The diff
programs will return 1 for differences, return 0 for equality, and
something else for errors.

git-checkout: fix "eval" used for merge labelling.

update-hook: fix incorrect use of git-describe and sed for finding previous tag
Previously git-describe would output lines of the form v1.1.1-gf509d56
The update hook found the dash and stripped it off using
sed 's/-g.*//'
The remainder was then used as the previous tag name.
However, git-describe has changed format. The output is now of the form v1.1.1-23-gf509d56
The above sed fragment doesn't strip the middle "-23", and so the
previous tag name used would be "v1.1.1-23". This is incorrect.
Since the hook script was written, git-describe now gained support for
"--abbrev=0", which it uses as a special flag to tell it not to output
anything other than the nearest tag name. This patch fixes the problem,
and prevents any future recurrence by using this new flag rather than
sed to find the previous tag.

If you use scanf or sscanf to parse integers, your code probably
accepts bogus inputs. For example, builtin-grep (aka git-grep) uses
sscanf(scan, "%u", &num) to parse the integer argument to -A, -B, -C.
Currently, "-C 1,000" and "-C 4294967297" are both treated just like
"-C 1":
$ git-grep -h -C 4294967297 juggle
out and you may find it easier to switch back and forth if you
juggle multiple lines of development simultaneously. Of
course, you will pay the price of more disk usage to hold
The obvious fix is to use strtoul instead. But using a bare strtoul is
too messy, at least when done properly, so I've added a wrapper function.
The new function in the patch below belongs elsewhere if it would be
useful in replacing any of the four remaining uses of sscanf.
One final note: With this change, I get a slightly different
diagnostic depending on the context size:
A common convention that makes it easy to identify the source
of a diagnostic is to include the program name before the first ":".
Whether that should be "git" or "git-grep" is another question.
Using "grep" or "fatal" is misleading.

I am working on a project that required parsing through regular
mboxes that didn't necessarily have patches embedded in them. I
started by creating my own modified copy of git-am and working
from there. Very quickly, I noticed git-mailinfo wasn't able to
handle a big chunk of my email.
After hacking up numerous solutions and running into more
limitations, I decided it was just easier to rewrite a big chunk
of it. The following patch has a bunch of fixes and features
that I needed in order for me do what I wanted.
Note: I'm didn't follow any email rfc papers but I don't think
any of the changes I did required much knowledge (besides the
boundary stuff).
List of major changes/fixes:
- can't create empty patch files fix
- empty patch files don't fail, this failure will come inside git-am
- multipart boundaries are now handled
- only output inbody headers if a patch exists otherwise assume those
headers are part of the reply and instead output the original headers
- decode and filter base64 patches correctly
- various other accidental fixes
I believe I didn't break any existing functionality or
compatibility (other than what I describe above, which is really
only the empty patch file).
I tested this through various mailing list archives and
everything seemed to parse correctly (a couple thousand emails).

fix the test case, as this patch exposes the bug in the test.]

The Git tree sorting convention is more complex than just the name,
it needs to include the mode too to make sure trees sort as though
their name ends with "/".
This is a simple test case that verifies fast-import keeps the tree
ordering correct after editing the same tree twice in a single
input stream. A recent proposed patch series (that has not yet
been applied) will cause this test to fail, due to a bug in the
way the series handles sorting within the trees.

When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import
dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more
space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a
constant amount. For very large trees, this means
re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times.
To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree
resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool
for future trees. This means that each of the O(n)
allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory,
giving O(n^2) memory consumption.

I got a little surprise one day when I tried to run 'git gui version'

check long before we got around to command line argument handling.
We now look to see if the only argument we have been given is
'version' or '--version', and if so, print out the version and
exit immediately; long before we consider looking at the Git
version or working directory. This way users can still get to

Johannes Sixt noticed that git-gui would not let the user commit

Sergey Vlasov, Andy Parkins and Alex Riesen all pointed out that it
is possible for a single invocation of receive-pack to be given more
refs than the OS might allow us to pass as command line parameters
to a single hook invocation.
We don't want to break these up into multiple invocations (like
xargs might do) as that makes it impossible for the pre-receive
hook to verify multiple related ref updates occur at the same time,
and it makes it harder for post-receive to send out a single batch
notification.
Instead we pass the reference data on a pipe connected to the
hook's stdin, supplying one ref per line to the hook. This way a
single hook invocation can obtain an infinite amount of ref data,
without bumping into any operating system limits.

prepare_packed_git(): sort packs by age and localness.
When accessing objects, we first look for them in packs that
are linked together in the reverse order of discovery.
Since younger packs tend to contain more recent objects, which
are more likely to be accessed often, and local packs tend to
contain objects more relevant to our specific projects, sort the
list of packs before starting to access them. In addition,
favoring local packs over the ones borrowed from alternates can
be a win when alternates are mounted on network file systems.
This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.
This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.
If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.
