Now blame will depend on the new revision walker infrastructure,
we need to make it depend on earlier parts of Linus' rev-list
topic branch, hence this merge.
This fixes "the other end has commit X but since then we tagged
that commit with tag T, and he says he wants T -- what is the
list of objects we need to send him?" question:
git-rev-list --objects ^X T
We ended up sending everything since the beginning of time X-<.
This really just splits things up partially, and creates the
interface to set things up by parsing the command line.
No real code changes so far, although the parsing of filenames is a bit
stricter. In particular, if there is a "--", then we do not accept any
filenames before it, and if there isn't any "--", then we check that _all_
paths listed are valid, not just the first one.
The new argument parsing automatically also gives us "--default" and
"--not" handling as in git-rev-parse.

Teach the "git" command to handle some commands internally
This is another patch in the "prepare to do more in C" series, where the
git wrapper command is taught about the notion of handling some
functionality internally.
Right now, the only internal commands are "version" and "help", but the
point being that we can now easily extend it to handle some of the trivial
scripts internally. Things like "git log" and "git diff" wouldn't need
separate external scripts any more.
This also implies that to support the old "git-log" and "git-diff" syntax,
the "git" wrapper now automatically looks at the name it was executed as,
and if it is "git-xxxx", it will assume that it is to internally do what
"git xxxx" would do.
In other words, you can (once you implement an internal command) soft- or
hard-link that command to the "git" wrapper command, and it will do the
right thing, whether you use the "git xxxx" or the "git-xxxx" format.
There's one other change: the search order for external programs is
modified slightly, so that the first entry remains GIT_EXEC_DIR, but the
second entry is the same directory as the git wrapper itself was executed
out of - if we can figure it out from argv[0], of course.

Make git-ls-files --others --ignored recurse into non-excluded
subdirectories.
Typically when asking git-ls-files to display all files which are
ignored by one or more exclude patterns one would want it to recurse
into subdirectories which are not themselves excluded to see if
there are any excluded files contained within those subdirectories.
rev-list --objects: use full pathname to help hashing.
This helps to group the same files from different revs together,
while spreading files with the same basename in different
directories, to help pack-object.
pack-objects: allow "thin" packs to exceed depth limits
When creating a new pack to be used in .git/objects/pack/
directory, we carefully count the depth of deltified objects to
be reused, so that the generated pack does not to exceed the
specified depth limit for runtime efficiency. However, when we
are generating a thin pack that does not contain base objects,
such a pack can only be used during network transfer that is
expanded on the other end upon reception, so being careful and
artificially cutting the delta chain does not buy us anything
except increased bandwidth requirement. This patch disables the
delta chain depth limit check when reusing an existing delta.

pack-objects: use full pathname to help hashing with "thin" pack.
This uses the same hashing algorithm to the "preferred base
tree" objects and the incoming pathnames, to group the same
files from different revs together, while spreading files with
the same basename in different directories.
Since we sort objects by type, hash, preferredness and then
size, after we have a delta against preferred base, there is no
point trying a delta with non-preferred base. This seems to
save expensive calls to diff-delta and it also seems to save the
output space as well.
This implements "eye candy" similar to the pack-object/unpack-object
to entertain users while a large tree is being checked out after
a clone or a pull.
This adds a git-rm command which provides convenience similar to
git-add, (and a bit more since it takes care of the rm as well if
given -f).
Like git-add, git-rm expands the given path names through
git-ls-files. This means it only acts on files listed in the
index. And it does act recursively on directories by default, (no -r
needed as in the case of rm itself). When it recurses, it does not
remove empty directories that are left behind.
git-fetch: follow tag only when tracking remote branch.
Unless --no-tags flag was given, git-fetch tried to always
follow remote tags that point at the commits we picked up.
It is not very useful to pick up tags from remote unless storing
the fetched branch head in a local tracking branch. This is
especially true if the fetch is done to merge the remote branch
into our current branch as one-shot basis (i.e. "please pull"),
and is even harmful if the remote repository has many irrelevant
tags.
This proposed update disables the automated tag following unless
we are storing the a fetched branch head in a local tracking
branch.
If that pack is big, it takes significant time to write and might
benefit from some more eye candies as well. This is however disabled
when the pack is written to stdout since in that case the output is
usually piped into unpack_objects which already does its own progress
reporting.

Keep Porcelainish from failing by broken ident after making changes.
"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree. The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".
This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some
commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.
Delay "empty ident" errors until they really matter.
Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their
environment early, but some people just use repositories and git
tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case
there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.
This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var"
asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.
Make "empty ident" error message a bit more helpful.
It appears that some people who did not care about having bogus
names in their own commit messages are bitten by the recent
change to require a sane environment [*1*].
While it was a good idea to prevent people from using bogus
names to create commits and doing sign-offs, the error message
is not very informative. This patch attempts to warn things
upfront and hint people how to fix their environments.
pack-objects: avoid delta chains that are too long.
This tries to rework the solution for the excess delta chain
problem. An earlier commit worked it around ``cheaply'', but
repeated repacking risks unbound growth of delta chains.
This version counts the length of delta chain we are reusing
from the existing pack, and makes sure a base object that has
sufficiently long delta chain does not get deltified.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series. This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long. With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation. But the performance suffers greatly.
It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.
It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used. It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.
A<--B<--C<--D E F G
Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.
B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:
E<--F<--G<--A
Oops. We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we? B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!
This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta. Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option. To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.
To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified. But how would we tell that, cheaply?
To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3). Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.
However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs. If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.
Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed). In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.
Without this patch, in linux-2.6 repository with about 1500
loose objects and a single mega pack:
The real problem triggered an earlier fix was that an alternate
entry was pointing at a removed directory. Complaining on
object/pack directory that cannot be opendir-ed produces noise
in an ancient repository that does not have object/pack
directory and has never been packed.
Detect the real user error and report it. Also if opendir
failed for other reasons (e.g. no read permissions), report that
as well.

Introducing git-cvsserver -- a CVS emulator for git.
git-cvsserver is highly functional. However, not all methods are implemented,
and for those methods that are implemented, not all switches are implemented.
All the common read operations are implemented, and add/remove/commit are
supported.
Testing has been done using both the CLI CVS client, and the Eclipse CVS
plugin. Most functionality works fine with both of these clients.
Currently git-cvsserver only works over SSH connections, see the
Documentation for more details on how to configure your client. It
does not support pserver for anonymous access but it should not be
hard to implement. Anonymous access will need tighter input validation.
In our very informal tests, it seems to be significantly faster than a real
CVS server.
This utility depends on a version of git-cvsannotate that supports -S and on
DBD::SQLite.
