vcs-svn: use strbuf for author, UUID, and URL

Use strbufs and strings instead of interned strings for values of rev,
dump, and node fields that happen to be strings. After this change,
the only remaining string_pool use is for paths in the repo_tree API
and internals.

Functional change: treat an empty author, UUID, or URL as none at all.
So for example, in repos where the first revision has an empty
svn:author property, the first rev will be treated as by "nobody"
rather than by a person with empty name and email address created by
prepending an @ sign to the repository UUID.

Currently buffer_copy_bytes does not report to its caller whether
it encountered an early end of file.

Add a return value representing the number of bytes read (but not
the number of bytes copied). This way all three unusual conditions
can be distinguished: input error with buffer_ferror, output error
with ferror(outfile), early end of input by checking the return
value.

vcs-svn: improve support for reading large files

Move from uint32_t to off_t as the fundamental unit of length used by
the line_buffer library. Performance would get worse if anything but
I think it's worth it for support of deltas that need to skip large
pieces (> 4 GiB).

Exception: buffer_read_string still takes a uint32_t, since it keeps
its result in an in-core obj_pool.

Callers still have to be updated to take advantage of this.

git-am.txt: advertise 'git am --abort' instead of 'rm .git/rebase-apply'

'git am --abort' is around for quite a long time now, and users should
normally not poke around inside the .git directory, yet the
documentation of 'git am' still recommends the following:

... if you decide to start over from scratch,
run `rm -f -r .git/rebase-apply` ...

Suggest 'git am --abort' instead.

It's not quite the same as the original, because 'git am --abort' will
restore the original branch, while simply removing '.git/rebase-apply'
won't, but that's rather a thinko in the original wording, because
that won't actually "start over _from scratch_".

bisect: visualize with git-log if gitk is unavailable

If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.

Work around broken ln on solaris as used in t8006

The test setup in t8006-blame-textconv.sh uses "ln -sf" to
overwrite an existing symlink. Unfortunately, both /usr/bin/ln
and /usr/xpg4/bin/ln on solaris 9 don't properly handle -f and -s
used at the same time. This caused the test setup and subsequent
checks to fail.

Instead, remove the symlink and then create a new one in the
setup code.

here:

refs_from_alternate: helper to use refs from alternates

The receiving end of "git push" advertises the objects that the repository
itself does not use, but are at the tips of refs in other repositories
whose object databases are used as alternates for it. This helps it avoid
having to receive (and the pusher having to send) objects that are already
available to the receiving repository via the alternates mechanism.

Tweak the helper function that implements this feature, and move it to
transport.[ch] for future reuse by other programs.

The additional test demonstrates how this optimization is helping "git push",
and "git fetch" is ignorant about it.

Rename the make_*_path functions so it's clearer what they do, in
particlar make clear what the differnce between make_absolute_path and
make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path
respectively. make_relative_path has an understandable name and is
renamed to relative_path to maintain the name convention.

The function calls have been replaced 1-to-1 in their usage.

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spacesKevin Cernekee Wed, 16 Mar 2011 22:34:13 +0000 (15:34 -0700)

gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces

Consider the following code fragment:

/*
* test
*/

vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:

$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
<span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com"> * test</span>
<span class="hl com"> */</span>

vim list mode:

^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

1 /*
2 * test
3 */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

1 /*
2 * test
3 */

This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid readsCarlos Martín Nieto Wed, 16 Mar 2011 11:46:01 +0000 (12:46 +0100)

valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads

Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

Introduce two functions:

- prepare_submodule_summary prepares the revision walker
to list changes in a submodule. That is, it:

* finds merge bases between the commits pointed to this
path from before ("left") and after ("right") the change;
* checks whether this is a fast-forward or fast-backward;
* prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric
difference between the commits at each endpoint.

It returns nonzero on error.

- print_submodule_summary runs the revision walk and saves
the result to a strbuf in --left-right format.

standardize brace placement in struct definitions

In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

struct foo {
int bar;
char *baz;
};

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

tests: scrub environment of GIT_* variables

Variables from the inherited environment that are meaningful to git
can break tests in undesirable ways. For example,

GIT_PAGER=more sh t5400-send-pack.sh -v -i

hangs. So unset all environment variables in the GIT_ namespace in
test-lib, with a few exceptions:

- GIT_TRACE* are useful for tracking down bugs exhibited by a failing
test;

- GIT_DEBUG* are GIT_TRACE variables by another name, practically
speaking. They should probably be tweaked to follow the
GIT_TRACE_foo scheme and use trace_printf machinery some time.

- GIT_USE_LOOKUP from v1.5.6-rc0~134^2~1 (sha1-lookup: more memory
efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1, 2007-12-29) is about
trying an alternate implementation strategy rather than changing
semantics and it can be useful to compare performance with and
without it set.

upload-pack: Implement no-done capability

If the client requests both multi_ack_detailed and no-done then
upload-pack is free to immediately send a PACK following its first
'ACK %s ready' message. The upload-pack response actually winds
up being:

ACK %s common
... (maybe more) ...
ACK %s ready
NAK
ACK %s
PACK.... the pack stream ....

For smart HTTP connections this saves one HTTP RPC, reducing
the overall latency for a trivial fetch. For git:// and ssh://
a no-done option slightly reduces latency by removing one
server->client->server round-trip at the end of the common
ancestor negotiation.

fetch-pack: Implement no-done capabilityShawn O. Pearce Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:59:39 +0000 (17:59 -0700)

fetch-pack: Implement no-done capability

If enabled on the connection "multi_ack_detailed no-done" as a
pair allows the remote upload-pack process to send a PACK down
to the client as soon as a "ACK %s ready" message was also sent.

Over git:// and ssh:// where a bi-directional stream is in place
this has very little difference over the classical version that
waits for the client to send a "done\n" line by itself. It does
slightly reduce the latency involved to start the pack stream as
there is one less round-trip from client->server required.

Over smart HTTP this avoids needing to send a final RPC that has
all of the prior common objects. Instead the server is able to
return a pack as soon as its ready to. For many common users the
smart HTTP fetch is now just 2 requests: GET .../info/refs, and
a POST .../git-upload-pack to not only negotiate but also receive
the pack stream. Only users who have more than 32 local unshared
commits with the remote will need additional requests to negotiate
a common merge base.

upload-pack: More aggressively send 'ACK %s ready'Shawn O. Pearce Mon, 14 Mar 2011 23:48:39 +0000 (16:48 -0700)

upload-pack: More aggressively send 'ACK %s ready'

If a client is merely following the remote (and has not made any
new commits itself), all "have %s" lines sent by the client will be
common to the server. As all lines are common upload-pack never
calls ok_to_give_up() and does not compute if it has a good cut
point in the commit graph.

Without this computation the following client is going to send all
tagged commits, as these were determined to be COMMON_REF during the
initial advertisement, but the client does not parse their history
to transitively pass the COMMON flag and empty its queue of commits.

For git.git with 339 commit tags, it takes clients 11 rounds of
negotation to fully send all tagged commits and exhaust its queue
of things to send as common. This is pretty slow for a client that
has not done any local development activity.

Force computing ok_to_give_up() and send "ACK %s ready" at the end
of the current round if this round only contained common objects
and ok_to_give_up() was therefore not called. This may allow the
client to break early, avoiding transmission of the COMMON_REFs.

fetch-pack: Finish negotation if remote replies "ACK %s ready"

If multi_ack_detailed was selected in the protocol capabilities
(both client and server are >= Git 1.6.6) the upload-pack side will
send "ACK %s ready" when it knows how to safely cut the graph and
produce a reasonable pack for the want list that was already sent
on the connection.

Upon receiving "ACK %s ready" there is no point in looking at
the remaining commits inside of rev_list. Sending additional
"have %s" lines to the remote will not construct a smaller pack.
It is unlikely a commit older than the current cut point will have
a better delta base than the cut point itself has.

The original design of this code had fetch-pack empty rev_list by
marking a commit and its transitive ancestors COMMON whenever the
remote side said "ACK %s {continue,common}" and skipping over any
already COMMON commits during get_rev(). This approach does not
work when most of rev_list is actually COMMON_REF, commits that
are pointed to by a reference on the remote, which exist locally,
and which have not yet been sent to the remote as a "have %s" line.

Most of the common references are tags in the ref/tags namespace,
using points in the commit graph that are more than 1 commit apart.
In git.git itself, this is currently 340 tags, 339 of which point to
commits in the commit graph. fetch-pack pushes all of these into
rev_list, but is unable to mark them COMMON and discard during a
remote's "ACK %s {continue,common}" because it does not parse through
the entire parent chain. Not parsing the entire parent chain is
an optimization to avoid walking back to the roots of the repository.

Assuming the client is only following the remote (and does not make
its own local commits), the client needs 11 rounds to spin through
the entire list of tags (32 commits per round, ceil(339/32) == 11).
Unfortunately the server knows on the first "have %s" line that
it can produce a good pack, and does not need to see the remaining
320 tags in the other 10 rounds.

Over git:// and ssh:// this isn't as bad as it sounds, the client is
only transmitting an extra 16,000 bytes that it doesn't need to send.

Over smart HTTP, the client must do an additional 10 HTTP POST
requests, each of which incurs round-trip latency, and must upload
the entire state vector of all known common objects. On the final
POST request, this is 16 KiB worth of data.

Fix all of this by clearing rev_list as soon as the remote side
says it can construct a pack.
