git-gui: Allow users to browse any branch, not just the current one
We now allow users to pick which commit they want to browse through
our revision picking mega-widget. This opens up in a dialog first,
and then opens a tree browser for that selected commit. It is a very
simple approach and requires minimal code changes.
I also clarified the language a bit in the Repository menu, to show
that these actions will access files. Just in case a user is not
quite sure what specific action they are looking for, but they know
they want some sort of file thing.

git-gui: Allow blame/browser subcommands on bare repositories
A long time ago Linus Torvalds tried to run git-gui on a bare

because we required that the user run us only from within a
working directory that had a normal git repository associated
with it.
This change relaxes that requirement so that you can start the
tree browser or the blame viewer against a bare repository. In
the latter case we do require that you provide a revision and a
pathname if we cannot find the pathname in the current working
directory.

git-gui: Delay the GC hint until after we are running
I'm moving the code related to looking to see if we should GC now
into a procedure closer to where it belongs, the database module.
This reduces our script by a few lines for the single commit case
(aka citool). But really it just is to help organize the code.
We now perform the check after we have been running for at least
1 second. This way the main window has time to open up and our
dialog (if we open it) will attach to the main window, instead of
floating out in no-mans-land like it did before on Mac OS X.
I had to use a wait of a full second here as a wait of 1 millisecond
made our console install itself into the main window. Apparently we
had a race condition with the console code where both the console and
the main window thought they were the main window.

git-gui: Let the user continue even if we cannot understand git version
Some users may do odd things, like tag their own private version of
Git with an annotated tag such as 'testver', then compile that git
and try to use it with git-gui. In such a case `git --version` will
give us 'git version testver', which is not a numeric argument that
we can pass off to our version comparsion routine.
We now check that the cleaned up git version is a going to pass the
version comparsion routine without failure. If it has a non-numeric
component, or lacks at least a minor revision then we ask the user to
confirm they really want to use this version of git within git-gui.
If they do we shall assume it is git 1.5.0 and run with only the code
that will support.

git-gui: Change our initial GC hint to be an estimate
Instead of running a full git-count-objects to count all of the loose
objects we can get a reasonably close approximation by counting the
number of files in the .git/objects/42 subdirectory. This works out
reasonably well because the SHA-1 hash has a fairly even distribution,
so every .git/objects/?? subdirectory should get a relatively equal
number of files. If we have at least 8 files in .git/objects/42 than it
is very likely there is about 8 files in every other directory, leaving
us with around 2048 loose objects.
This check is much faster, as we need to only perform a readdir of
a single directory, and we can do it directly from Tcl and avoid the
costly fork+exec.
All of the credit on how clever this is goes to Linus Torvalds; he
suggested using this trick in a post commit hook to repack every so
often.

Not every caller of 'git' or 'git_pipe' wants to use nice to lower the

git-svn: fix commiting renames over DAV with funky file names
Renaming files with non-URI friendly characters caused
breakage when committing to DAV repositories (over http(s)).
Even if I try leaving out the $self->{url} from the return value
of url_path(), a partial (without host), unescaped path name
does not work.
Filenames for DAV repos need to be URI-encoded before being
passed to the library. Since this bug did not affect file://
and svn:// repos, the git-svn test library needed to be expanded
to include support for starting Apache with mod_dav_svn enabled.
This new test is not enabled by default, but can be enabled by
setting SVN_HTTPD_PORT to any available TCP/IP port on
127.0.0.1.
Additionally, for running this test, the following variables
(with defaults shown) can be changed for the suitable system.
The default values are set for Debian systems:

Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Fix git-p4 on Windows to not use the Posix sysconf function.
Correct trivial typo in fast-import documentation
Teach fast-import to recursively copy files/directories
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision. This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.
The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths. The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.
With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

$ git add foo # oops, I didn't want this

When I added the "--" case to the code scanning the arguments, I missed
the fact that since the switch statement uses -regexp, the "--" case
will match any argument containing "--", e.g. "--all". This fixes it
by taking out the -regexp (since we don't actually need regular
expression matching) and adjusting the match strings.
A side effect of this is that previously any argument starting with
"-d" would be taken to indicate date mode; now the argument has to be
exactly "-d" if you want date mode.

This adds an option (--window-memory=N) and configuration variable
(pack.windowMemory = N) to limit the memory size of the pack-objects
delta search window. This works by removing the oldest unpacked objects
whenever the total size goes above the limit. It will always leave
at least one object, though, so as not to completely eliminate the
possibility of computing deltas.
This is an extra limit on top of the normal window size (--window=N);
the window will not dynamically grow above the fixed number of entries
specified to fill the memory limit.
With this, repacking a repository with a mix of large and small objects
is possible even with a very large window.

as it's very likely not going to get a match. Even if it does, you will
have to read at least 32x the size of the new file to reassemble it,
which isn't such a good deal. This leads to a considerable performance
improvement when deltifying a mix of small and large files with a very
large window, because you don't have to wait for the large files to

apply delta depth bias to already deltified objects
We already apply a bias on the initial delta attempt with max_size being
a function of the base object depth. This has the effect of favoring
shallower deltas even if deeper deltas could be smaller, and therefore
creating a wider delta tree (see commits 4e8da195 and c3b06a69).
This principle should also be applied to all delta attempts for the same
object and not only the first attempt. With this the criteria for the
best delta is not only its size but also its depth, so that a shallower
delta might be selected even if it is larger than a deeper one. Even if
some deltas get larger, they allow for wider delta trees making the
depth limit less quickly reached and therefore better deltas can be
subsequently found, keeping the resulting pack size even smaller.
Runtime access to the pack should also benefit from shallower deltas.
Testing on different repositories showed slighter faster repacks,
smaller resulting packs, and a much nicer curve for delta depth
distribution with no more peak at the maximum depth level.
Improvements are even more significant with smaller depth limits.

directory. The fix was incomplete in that it was still confused
when coming back (i.e. switching from a branch with frotz -> xyzzy/
to another branch with frotz/filfre).
This fix is rather expensive in that for a path that is created
we would need to see if any of the leading component of that
path exists as a symbolic link in the filesystem (in which case,
we know that path itself does not exist, and the fact we already
decided to check it out tells us that in the index we already
know that symbolic link is going away as there is no D/F
conflict).

Support wholesale directory renames in fast-import
Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory

were moved. This makes it hard for a frontend to convert such data
formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has on hand

The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to
rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to
know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it.
The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally,
making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename.

If we get more than 80 characters of text in a single line odds
are it is output from git-fetch or git-push and its showing a
lot of detail off to the right edge that is not so important to
the average user. We still want to make sure we show everything
we need, but we can get away with that information being off to
the side with a horizontal scrollbar.
