git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch

points at a yet-to-be-born branch.
Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset"

Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while
on a yet-to-be-born branch.
With this change, the following sequence that now works:
git-clone: stop dumb protocol from copying refs outside heads/ and tags/.
Most notably, the original code first copied refs/remotes/ that
remote side had to local, and overwrote them by mapping refs/heads/
from the remote when a dumb protocol transport was used.
This makes the clone behaviour by dumb protocol in line with the
git native and rsync transports.

replace the destination ref with the object known as $src on the

git-cvsimport: add support for CVS pserver method HTTP/1.x proxying
This patch adds support for 'proxy' and 'proxyport' connection options
when using the pserver method for the CVS Root.
It has been tested with a Squid 2.5.x proxy server.
Quoting from the CVS info manual:
The `gserver' and `pserver' connection methods all accept optional
method options, specified as part of the METHOD string, like so:
:METHOD[;OPTION=ARG...]:
Currently, the only two valid connection options are `proxy', which
takes a hostname as an argument, and `proxyport', which takes a port
number as an argument. These options can be used to connect via an HTTP
tunnel style web proxy. For example, to connect pserver via a web proxy
at www.myproxy.net and port 8000, you would use a method of:
:pserver;proxy=www.myproxy.net;proxyport=8000:
*NOTE: The rest of the connection string is required to connect to
the server as noted in the upcoming sections on password authentication,
gserver and kserver. The example above would only modify the METHOD
portion of the repository name.*
PROXY must be supplied to connect to a CVS server via a proxy
server, but PROXYPORT will default to port 8080 if not supplied.
PROXYPORT may also be set via the CVS_PROXY_PORT environment variable.

refs outside refs/{heads,tags} match less strongly.
This changes the refname matching logic used to decide which ref
is updated with git-send-pack. We used to error out when
pushing 'master' when the other end has both 'master' branch and
a tracking branch 'remotes/$name/master' but with this, 'master'
matches only 'refs/heads/master' when both and no other 'master'
exist.
Pushing 'foo' when both heads/foo and tags/foo exist at the
remote end is still considered an error and you would need to
disambiguate between them by being more explicit.
When neither heads/foo nor tags/foo exists at the remote,
pushing 'foo' when there is only remotes/origin/foo is not
ambiguous, while it still is ambiguous when there are more than
one such weaker match (remotes/origin/foo and remotes/alt/foo,
for example).
In xemit.c:xdl_emit_diff() a buffer for showing the function name as
commentary is allocated; this buffer was 40 characters. This is a bit
small; particularly for C++ function names where there is often an
identical prefix (like void LongNamespace::LongClassName) on multiple
functions, which makes the context the same everywhere. In other words
the context is useless. This patch increases that buffer to 80
characters - which may still not be enough, but is better

We can't rely on sizeof(struct zip_*) returning the sum of
all struct members. At least on ARM padding is added at the
end, as Gerrit Pape reported. This fixes the problem but
still lets the compiler do the summing by introducing
explicit padding at the end of the structs and then taking
its offset as the combined size of the preceding members.
As Junio correctly notes, the _end[] marker array's size
must be greater than zero for compatibility with compilers
other than gcc. The space wasted by the markers can safely
be neglected because we only have one instance of each
struct, i.e. in sum 3 wasted bytes on i386, and 0 on ARM. :)
We still rely on the compiler to not add padding between the
struct members, but that's reasonable given that all of them
are unsigned char arrays.

This fixes the previous implementation which failed to optimize
repositories with tons of lightweight tags. The updated
packed-refs format begins with "# packed-refs with:" line that
lists the kind of extended data the file records. Currently,
there is only one such extension defined, "peeled". This stores
the "peeled tag" on a line that immediately follows a line for a
tag object itself in the format "^<sha-1>".
The header line itself and any extended data are ignored by
older implementation, so packed-refs file generated with this
version can still be used by older git. packed-refs made by
older git can of course be used with this version.
Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branches
Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created. Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.
The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".
As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.
Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.
It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being
'git branch' it is not currently used.

to implement merging the named commit to the current branch.
This hopefully would make "git merge" usable as the first class
UI instead of being a mere backend for "git pull".
Most notably, $commit above can be any committish, so you can
say for example:
git merge js/shortlog~2
to merge early part of a topic branch without merging the rest
of it.
A custom merge message can be given with the new --message=<msg>
parameter. The message is prepended in front of the usual
"Merge ..." message autogenerated with fmt-merge-message.
prune_object() in show_only mode would previously just show the path to the
object that would be deleted. The path the object is stored in shouldn't be
shown to users, they only know about sha1 identifiers so show that instead.
Further, the sha1 alone isn't that useful for examining what is going to be
deleted. This patch also adds the object type to the output, which makes it
easy to pick out, say, the commits and use git-show to display them.

git_rss and git_atom are thin wrappers around git_feed. Add links to
Atom feed in HTML header and in page footer (but not in OPML; we
should use APP, Atom Publishing Proptocol instead).
Allow for feed generation for branches other than current (HEAD)
branch, and for generation of feeds for file or directory history.
Do not use "pre ${\sub_returning_scalar(...)} post" trick, but join
strings instead: "pre " . sub_returning_scalar(...) . " post".
Use href(-full=>1, ...) instead of hand-crafting gitweb urls.
Make output prettier:
* Use title similar to the title of web page
* Use project description (if exists) for description/subtitle
* Do not add anything (committer name, commit date) to feed entry title
* Wrap the commit message in <pre>
* Make file names into an unordered list
* Add links (diff, conditional blame, history) to the file list.
In addition to the above points, the attached patch emits a
Last-Changed: HTTP response header field, and doesn't compute the feed
body if the HTTP request type was HEAD. This helps keep the web server
load down for well-behaved feed readers that check if the feed needs
updating.

gitweb: Buffer diff header to deal with split patches + git_patchset_body refactoring
There are some cases when one line from "raw" git-diff output (raw format)

with this buffer git diff header and extended diff header (everything up to
actual patch) to check from information from "index <hash>..<hash>" extended
header line if the patch corresponds to the same or next difftree raw line.
This could also be used to gather information needed for hyperlinking, and
used for printing gitweb quoted filenames, from extended diff header instead
of raw git-diff output.
While at it, refactor git_patchset_body subroutine from the event-driven,
AWK-like state-machine parsing to sequential parsing: for each patch
parse (and output) git diff header, parse extended diff header, parse two-line
from-file/to-file diff header, parse patch itself; patch ends with the end
of input [file] or the line matching m/^diff /.
For better understanding the code, there were added assertions in the
