rev-list: use hdr_termination instead of a always using a newline
When adding support for prefixing output of log and other commands using
--line-prefix, commit 660e113ce118 ("graph: add support for
--line-prefix on all graph-aware output", 2016-08-31) accidentally
broke rev-list --header output.
In order to make the output appear with a line-prefix, the flow was
changed to always use the graph subsystem for display. Unfortunately
the graph flow in rev-list did not use info->hdr_termination as it was
assumed that graph output would never need to putput NULs.
Since we now always use the graph code in order to handle the case of
line-prefix, simply replace putchar('\n') with
putchar(info->hdr_termination) which will correct this issue.
Add a test for the --header case to make sure we don't break it in the
future.

An "add --chmod=+x" test recently added by 610d55af0f ("add: modify
already added files when --chmod is given", 2016-09-14) used "xfoo3"
as a test file. The paths xfoo[1-3] were used by earlier tests for
symbolic links but they were expected to have been removed by the
time the execution reached this new test.
The removal with "git reset --hard" however happened in a pair of
earlier tests, both of which are protected by POSIXPERM,SANITY
prerequisites. Platforms and test environments that lacked these
would have seen xfoo3 as a leftover symbolic link that points at
somewhere else at this point of the sequence, and the chmod test
would have given a wrong result.

gitweb: link to "git describe"'d commits in log messages
Change the log formatting function to know about "git describe" output
such as "v2.8.0-4-g867ad08", in addition to just plain "867ad08".
There are still many valid refnames that we don't link to
e.g. v2.10.0-rc1~2^2~1 is also a valid way to refer to v2.8.0-4-g867ad08, but I'm not supporting that with this commit,
similarly it's trivially possible to create some refnames like
"æ/var-gf6727b0" or which won't be picked up by this regex.
There's surely room for improvement here, but I just wanted to address
the very common case of sticking "git describe" output into commit
messages without trying to link to all possible refnames, that's going
to be a rather futile exercise given that this is free text, and it
would be prohibitively expensive to look up whether the references in
question exist in our repository.
There was on-list discussion about how we could do better than this
patch. Junio suggested to update parse_commits() to call a new
"gitweb--helper" command which would pass each of the revision
candidates through "rev-parse --verify --quiet". That would cut down
on our false positives (e.g. we'll link to "deadbeef"), and also allow
us to be more aggressive in selecting candidate revisions.
That may be too expensive to work in practice, or it may
not. Investigating that would be a good follow-up to this patch.

Change the minimum length of an abbreviated object identifier in the
commit message gitweb tries to turn into link from 8 hexchars to 7.
This arbitrary minimum length of 8 was introduced in bfe2191 ("gitweb:
SHA-1 in commit log message links to "object" view", 2006-12-10), but
the default abbreviation length is 7, and has been for a long time.
It's still possible to reference SHA-1s down to 4 characters in length,
see v1.7.4-1-gdce9648's MINIMUM_ABBREV, but I can't see how to make
git actually produce that, so I doubt anyone is putting that into log
messages in practice, but people definitely do put 7 character SHA-1s
into log messages.
I think it's fairly dubious to link to things matching [0-9a-fA-F]
here as opposed to just [0-9a-f], that dates back to the initial
version of gitweb from 161332a ("first working version",
2005-08-07). Git will accept all-caps SHA-1s, but didn't ever produce

fetch: use "quick" has_sha1_file for tag following
When we auto-follow tags in a fetch, we look at all of the
tags advertised by the remote and fetch ones where we don't
already have the tag, but we do have the object it peels to.
This involves a lot of calls to has_sha1_file(), some of
which we can reasonably expect to fail. Since 45e8a74
(has_sha1_file: re-check pack directory before giving up,
2013-08-30), this may cause many calls to
reprepare_packed_git(), which is potentially expensive.
This has gone unnoticed for several years because it
requires a fairly unique setup to matter:
1. You need to have a lot of packs on the client side to
make reprepare_packed_git() expensive (the most
expensive part is finding duplicates in an unsorted
list, which is currently quadratic).
2. You need a large number of tag refs on the server side
that are candidates for auto-following (i.e., that the
client doesn't have). Each one triggers a re-read of
the pack directory.
3. Under normal circumstances, the client would
auto-follow those tags and after one large fetch, (2)
would no longer be true. But if those tags point to
history which is disconnected from what the client
otherwise fetches, then it will never auto-follow, and
those candidates will impact it on every fetch.
So when all three are true, each fetch pays an extra
O(nr_tags * nr_packs^2) cost, mostly in string comparisons
on the pack names. This was exacerbated by 47bf4b0
(prepare_packed_git_one: refactor duplicate-pack check,
2014-06-30) which uses a slightly more expensive string
check, under the assumption that the duplicate check doesn't
happen very often (and it shouldn't; the real problem here
is how often we are calling reprepare_packed_git()).
This patch teaches fetch to use HAS_SHA1_QUICK to sacrifice
accuracy for speed, in cases where we might be racy with a
simultaneous repack. This is similar to the fix in 0eeb077
(index-pack: avoid excessive re-reading of pack directory,
2015-06-09). As with that case, it's OK for has_sha1_file()
occasionally say "no I don't have it" when we do, because
the worst case is not a corruption, but simply that we may
fail to auto-follow a tag that points to it.
Here are results from the included perf script, which sets
up a situation similar to the one described above:
Test HEAD^ HEAD

parse_mailboxes: accept extra text after <...> address
The test introduced in this commit succeeds without the patch to Git.pm
if Mail::Address is installed, but fails otherwise because our in-house
parser does not accept any text after the email address. They succeed
both with and without Mail::Address after this commit.
Mail::Address accepts extra text and considers it as part of the name,
iff the address is surrounded with <...>. The implementation mimics
this behavior as closely as possible.
This mostly restores the behavior we had before b1c8a11 (send-email:

if the reflog for the base branch is totally empty (as it

cocci: refactor common patterns to use xstrdup_or_null()
d64ea0f83b ("git-compat-util: add xstrdup_or_null helper",
2015-01-12) added a handy wrapper that allows us to get a duplicate
of a string or NULL if the original is NULL, but a handful of
codepath predate its introduction or just weren't aware of it.
For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG,
EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted.
gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs).
Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and
trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N
for the %G? format specifier.
git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is
somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of
the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side.
Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG,
EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information
about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

Change also the test message and variable name to match. The test
just checks that REG_STARTEND is #defined.

It is a common mistake to say "git blame --reverse OLD path",
expecting that the command line is dwimmed as if asking how lines
in path in an old revision OLD have survived up to the current
commit.
* jc/blame-reverse:
blame: dwim "blame --reverse OLD" as "blame --reverse OLD.."
blame: improve diagnosis for "--reverse NEW"
The existing "git fetch --depth=<n>" option was hard to use
correctly when making the history of an existing shallow clone
deeper. A new option, "--deepen=<n>", has been added to make this
easier to use. "git clone" also learned "--shallow-since=<date>"
and "--shallow-exclude=<tag>" options to make it easier to specify
"I am interested only in the recent N months worth of history" and
"Give me only the history since that version".
* nd/shallow-deepen: (27 commits)
fetch, upload-pack: --deepen=N extends shallow boundary by N commits
upload-pack: add get_reachable_list()
upload-pack: split check_unreachable() in two, prep for get_reachable_list()
t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth excluding a ref
clone: define shallow clone boundary with --shallow-exclude
fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-exclude
upload-pack: support define shallow boundary by excluding revisions
refs: add expand_ref()
t5500, t5539: tests for shallow depth since a specific date
clone: define shallow clone boundary based on time with --shallow-since
fetch: define shallow boundary with --shallow-since
upload-pack: add deepen-since to cut shallow repos based on time
shallow.c: implement a generic shallow boundary finder based on rev-list
fetch-pack: use a separate flag for fetch in deepening mode
fetch-pack.c: mark strings for translating
fetch-pack: use a common function for verbose printing
fetch-pack: use skip_prefix() instead of starts_with()
upload-pack: move rev-list code out of check_non_tip()
upload-pack: make check_non_tip() clean things up on error
upload-pack: tighten number parsing at "deepen" lines

The command-line completion script (in contrib/) learned to
complete "git cmd ^mas<HT>" to complete the negative end of
reference to "git cmd ^master".
