When index-pack completes a thin pack it appends objects to the pack.
Since the commit 92392b4(index-pack: Honor core.deltaBaseCacheLimit when
resolving deltas) such an object can be pruned in case of memory
pressure, and will be read back again by get_data_from_pack(). For this
to work, the fields in object_entry structure need to be initialized
properly.

index-pack: Honor core.deltaBaseCacheLimit when resolving deltas
If we are trying to resolve deltas for a long delta chain composed
of multi-megabyte objects we can easily run into requiring 500M+
of memory to hold each object in the chain on the call stack while
we recurse into the dependent objects and resolve them.
We now use a simple delta cache that discards objects near the
bottom of the call stack first, as they are the most least recently
used objects in this current delta chain. If we recurse out of a
chain we may find the base object is no longer available, as it was
free'd to keep memory under the deltaBaseCacheLimit. In such cases
we must unpack the base object again, which will require recursing
back to the root of the top of the delta chain as we released that
root first.
The astute reader will probably realize that we can still exceed
the delta base cache limit, but this happens only if the most
recent base plus the delta plus the inflated dependent sum up to
more than the base cache limit. Due to the way patch_delta is
currently implemented we cannot operate in less memory anyway.

index-pack: Track the object_entry that creates each base_data
If we free the data stored within a base_data we need the struct
object_entry to get the data back again for use with another dependent
delta. Storing the object_entry* in base_data makes it simple to call
get_data_from_pack() to recover the compressed information.
This however means that we must add the missing base object to the end of
our packfile prior to calling resolve_delta() on each of the dependent
deltas. Adding the base first ensures we can read the base back from the
pack we are indexing, as if it had been included by the remote side.

bash completion: Resolve git show ref:path<tab> losing ref: portion
Linus reported that the bash completion for git show often dropped
the ref portion of the argument (stuff before the :) when trying
to complete a file name of a file in another branch or tag.
Björn Steinbrink tracked it down to the gvfs completion script
which comes standard on many Fedora Core based systems. That is
removing : from COMP_WORDBREAKS, making readline treat the entire
argument (including the ref) as the name that must be completed.
When the git completion routines supplied a completion of just the
filename, readline replaced everything.
Since Git users often need to use "ref:path" or "ref:ref" sort of
arguments, and expect completion support on both sides of the :
we really want the : in COMP_WORDBREAKS to provide a good user
experience. This is also the default that ships with bash as it
can be useful in other contexts, such as rcp/scp.
We now try to add : back to COMP_WORDBREAKS if it has been removed
by a script that loaded before us. However if this doesn't work
(as the : is stripped after we load) we fallback in the completion
routines to include "ref:" as part of the prefix for completions,
allowing readine to fully insert the argument the user wanted.

The test created an initial commit, made .git/objects unwritable and then
exercised various codepaths to create loose commit, tree and blob objects
to make sure the commands notice failures from these attempts.
However, the initial commit was not preceded with test_tick, which made
its object name depend on the timestamp. The names of all the later tree
and blob objects the test tried to create were static. If the initial
commit's object name happened to begin with the same two hexdigits as the
tree or blob objects the test later attempted to create, the fan-out
directory in which these tree or blob would be created is already created
when the initial commit was made, and the object creation succeeds, and
commands being tested should not notice any failure --- in short, the test
was bogus.
This makes the fan-out directories also unwritable, and adds test_tick
before the commit object creation to make the test repeatable.
The contents of the file to create a blob from "a" to "60" is to force the
name of the blob object to begin with "1b", which shares the fan-out
directory with the initial commit that is created with the test. This was
useful when diagnosing the breakage of this test.

06cbe85 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) broke the
traditional setting of core.sharedRepository to true, which was to make
the repository group writable: with umask 022, it would clear the
permission bits for 'other'. (umask 002 did not exhibit this behaviour
since pre-chmod() check in adjust_shared_perm() fails in that case.)
The call to adjust_shared_perm() should only loosen the permission.

resulting files should be made readable and writable by group, without
restricting the readability by others.

Correct pack memory leak causing git gc to try to exceed ulimit
When recursing to unpack a delta base we must unuse_pack() so that
the pack window for the current object does not remain pinned in
memory while the delta base is itself being unpacked and materialized
for our use.
On a long delta chain of 50 objects we may need to access 6 different
windows from a very large (>3G) pack file in order to obtain all
of the delta base content. If the process ulimit permits us to
map/allocate only 1.5G we must release windows during this recursion
to ensure we stay within the ulimit and transition memory from pack
cache to standard malloc, or other mmap needs.
Inserting an unuse_pack() call prior to the recursion allows us to
avoid pinning the current window, making it available for garbage
collection if memory runs low.
This has been broken since at least before 1.5.1-rc1, and very
likely earlier than that. Its fixed now. :)

Many git commands use '--' to separate subcommands, options, and refs

commands does not respect the '--', and offer subcommands, options, or
refs after a '--', although only paths are permitted. e.g. 'git bisect
-- <TAB>' offers subcommands, 'git log -- --<TAB>' offers options and
'git log -- git<TAB>' offers all gitgui tags.
The completion for the following commands share this wrong behaviour:
am add bisect commit diff log reset shortlog submodule gitk.
To avoid this, we check the presence of a '--' on the command line first
and let the shell do filename completion, if one is found.

If git attempts to delete a ref, but the unlink of the ref
file fails, we print a message to stderr. This is usually a
good thing, but if the error is ENOENT, then it indicates
that the ref has _already_ been deleted. And since that's
our goal, it doesn't make sense to complain to the user.
This harmonizes the error reporting behavior for the
unpacked and packed cases; the packed case already printed
nothing on ENOENT, but the unpacked printed unconditionally.
Additionally, send-pack would, when deleting the tracking
ref corresponding to a remote delete, print "Failed to
delete" on any failure. This can be a misleading
message, since we actually _did_ delete at the remote side,
but we failed to delete locally. Rather than make the
message more precise, let's just eliminate it entirely; the
delete_ref routine already takes care of printing out a much
more specific message about what went wrong.

git-svn: avoid filling up the disk with temp files.
Commit ffe256f9bac8a40ff751a9341a5869d98f72c285 ("git-svn: Speed up fetch")
introduced changes that create a temporary file for each object fetched by
svn. These files should be deleted automatically, but perl apparently
doesn't do this until the process exits (or perhaps when its garbage
collector runs).
This means that on a large fetch, especially with lots of branches, we
sometimes fill up /tmp completely, which prevents the next temp file from
being written completely. This is aggravated by the fact that a new temp
file is created for each updated file, even if that update produces a file
identical to one already in git. Thus, it can happen even if there's lots
of disk space to store the finished repository.
We weren't adequately checking for write errors, so this would result in an
invalid file getting committed, which caused git-svn to fail later with an
invalid checksum.
This patch adds a check to syswrite() so similar problems don't lead to
corruption in the future. It also unlink()'s each temp file explicitly
when we're done with it, so the disk doesn't need to fill up.

* When there is no --, earlier ones are revs and the rest are paths, and
we need to guess. When lack of -- marker forces us to guess, we
protect from user errors and typoes by making sure what we treat as
revs do not appear as filenames in the work tree, and what we treat as
paths do appear as filenames in the work tree, and by erroring out if
that is not the case. We tell the user to disambiguate by using -- in
such a case.
which is employed elsewhere in the system.
When this rule is applied to "reset", because we can have only zero or one
rev to the command, the check can be slightly simpler than other programs.
We have to check only the first one or two tokens after the command name
and options, and when they are:
-- A:
no explicit rev given; "A" and whatever follows it are paths.
A --:
explicit rev "A" given and whatever follows the "--" are paths.
A B:
"A" could be rev or path and we need to guess. "B" could
be missing but if exists that (and everything that follows) would
be paths.
So we apply the guess only in the last case and only to "A" (not "B" and
what comes after it).
* As long as "A" is unambiguously a path, index entries for "A", "B" (and
everything that follows) are reset to the HEAD revision.
* If "A" is unambiguously a rev, on the other hand, the index entries for
"B" (and everything that follows) are reset to the "A" revision.

worktree dir contains the git dir (as .git), the user can
override this using GIT_WORK_TREE.
We can reuse safe_create_leading_directories, but we need to
make a copy of our const buffer to do so. Since
merge-recursive uses the same pattern, we can factor this
out into a global function. This has two other cleanup
advantages for merge-recursive:
1. mkdir_p wasn't a very good name. "mkdir -p foo/bar" actually
creates bar, but this function just creates the leading
directories.
2. mkdir_p took a mode argument, but it was completely
ignored.

The "type" and "object" fields for tags were accepted as
valid atoms, but never implemented. Consequently, they
simply returned the empty string, even for valid tags.
Noticed by Lea Wiemann.
