fsck_object(): allow passing object data separately from the object itself
When fsck'ing an incoming pack, we need to fsck objects that cannot be
read via read_sha1_file() because they are not local yet (and might even
be rejected if transfer.fsckobjects is set to 'true').
For commits, there is a hack in place: we basically cache commit
objects' buffers anyway, but the same is not true, say, for tag objects.
By refactoring fsck_object() to take the object buffer and size as
optional arguments -- optional, because we still fall back to the
previous method to look at the cached commit objects if the caller
passes NULL -- we prepare the machinery for the upcoming handling of tag
objects.
The assumption that such buffers are inherently NUL terminated is now
wrong, of course, hence we pass the size of the buffer so that we can
add a sanity check later, to prevent running past the end of the buffer.

Refactor type_from_string() to allow continuing after detecting an error
In the next commits, we will enhance the fsck_tag() function to check
tag objects more thoroughly. To this end, we need a function to verify
that a given string is a valid object type, but that does not die() in
the negative case.
While at it, prepare type_from_string() for counted strings, i.e. strings
with an explicitly specified length rather than a NUL termination.

We write each line of a new packed-refs file individually
using a write() syscall (and sometimes 2, if the ref is
peeled). Since each line is only about 50-100 bytes long,
this creates a lot of system call overhead.
We can instead open a stdio handle around our descriptor and
use fprintf to write to it. The extra buffering is not a
problem for us, because nobody will read our new packed-refs
file until we call commit_lock_file (by which point we have
flushed everything).
On a pathological repository with 8.5 million refs, this
dropped the time to run `git pack-refs` from 20s to 6s.

parse-options: detect attempt to add a duplicate short option name
It is easy to overlook an already assigned single-letter option name

before such a mistake escapes the lab.
This retroactively forbids any short option name (which is defined
to be of type "int") outside the ASCII printable range. We might
want to do one of two things:
- tighten the type of short_name member to 'char', and further
update optbug() to protect it against doing "'%c'" on a funny
value, e.g. negative or above 127.
- drop the check (even the "duplicate" check) for an option whose
short_name is either negative or above 255, to allow clever folks
to take advantage of the fact that such a short_name cannot be
parsed from the command line and the member can be used to store
some extra information.

cache-tree: do not try to use an invalidated subtree info to build a tree
We punt from repairing the cache-tree during a branch switching if
it involves having to create a new tree object that does not yet
exist in the object store. "mkdir dir && >dir/file && git add dir"
followed by "git checkout" is one example, when a tree that records
the state of such "dir/" is not in the object store.
However, after discovering that we do not have a tree object that
records the state of "dir/", the caller failed to remember the fact
that it noticed the cache-tree entry it received for "dir/" is
invalidated, it already knows it should not be populating the level
that has "dir/" as its immediate subdirectory, and it is not an
error at all for the sublevel cache-tree entry gave it a bogus
object name it shouldn't even look at.
This led the caller to detect and report a non-existent error. The
end result was the same and we avoided stuffing a non-existent tree
to the cache-tree, but we shouldn't have issued an alarming error
message to the user.

index-pack: fix race condition with duplicate bases
When we are resolving deltas in an indexed pack, we do it by
first selecting a potential base (either one stored in full
in the pack, or one created by resolving another delta), and
then resolving any deltas that use that base. When we
resolve a particular delta, we flip its "real_type" field
from OBJ_{REF,OFS}_DELTA to whatever the real type is.
We assume that traversing the objects this way will visit
each delta only once. This is correct for most packs; we
visit the delta only when we process its base, and each
object (and thus each base) appears only once. However, if a
base object appears multiple times in the pack, we will try
to resolve any deltas based on it once for each instance.
We can detect this case by noting that a delta we are about
to resolve has already had its real_type field flipped, and
we already do so with an assert(). However, if multiple
threads are in use, we may race with another thread on
comparing and flipping the field. We need to synchronize the
access.
The right mechanism for doing this is a compare-and-swap (we
atomically "claim" the delta for our own and find out
whether our claim was successful). We can implement this
in C by using a pthread mutex to protect the operation. This
is not the fastest way of doing a compare-and-swap; many
processors provide instructions for this, and gcc and other
compilers provide builtins to access them. However, some
experiments showed that lock contention does not cause a
significant slowdown here. Adding c-a-s support for many
compilers would increase the maintenance burden (and we
would still end up including the pthread version as a
fallback).
Note that we only need to touch the OBJ_REF_DELTA codepath
here. An OBJ_OFS_DELTA object points to its base using an
offset, and therefore has only one base, even if another
copy of that base object appears in the pack (we do still
touch it briefly because the setting of real_type is
factored out of resolve_data).

Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.
The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:
- a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
- a space between time and time zone
- no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone
Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates. Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

Using const pointers to getenv's return has two problems:
1. It is not guaranteed that the return value from getenv

Rather than parsing the header manually to find the "author"
field, and then parsing its sub-parts, let's use
find_commit_header and split_ident_line. This is shorter and
easier to read, and should do a more careful parsing job.
For example, the current parser could find the end-of-email
right-bracket across a newline (for a malformed commit), and
calculate a bogus gigantic length for the date (by using
"eol - rb").
As a bonus, this also plugs a memory leak when we pull the
date field from an existing commit (we still leak the name
and email buffers, which will be fixed in a later commit).

merge, pull: stop advising 'commit -a' in case of conflict
'git commit -a' is rarely a good way to mark conflicts as resolved:
the user anyway has to go manually through the list of conflicts to
do the actual resolution, and it is usually better to use "git add"
on each files after doing the resolution.
On the other hand, using 'git commit -a' is potentially dangerous,
as it makes it very easy to mistakenly commit conflict markers
without noticing, and even worse, the user may have started a merge
while having local changes that do not overlap with it in the
working tree.
While we're there, synchronize the 'git pull' and 'git merge'
messages: the first was ending with '... and make a commit.', but
not the latter.
Eventually, git should detect that conflicts have been resolved in
the working tree and tailor these messages further. Not only "use
git commit -a" could be resurected, but "Fix them up in the work
tree" should be dropped when it happens.

produce a repository that has a similar shape to its history
and tree, but without leaking any information. This
"anonymized" repository could then be shared with developers
(assuming it still replicates the original problem).
This patch implements an "--anonymize" option to
fast-export, which generates a stream that can recreate such
a repository. Producing a single stream makes it easy for
the caller to verify that they are not leaking any useful
information. You can get an overview of what will be shared
by running a command like:
which will show every unique line we generate, modulo any
numbers (each anonymized token is assigned a number, like
"User 0", and we replace it consistently in the output).
In addition to anonymizing, this produces test cases that
are relatively small (compared to the original repository)
and fast to generate (compared to using filter-branch, or
modifying the output of fast-export yourself). Here are
numbers for git.git:
$ time git fast-export --anonymize --all \
--tag-of-filtered-object=drop >output
real 0m2.883s
user 0m2.828s
sys 0m0.052s
