In some repository configurations the user may have many packfiles,
but all of the recent commits/trees/tags/blobs are likely to
be in the most recent packfile (the one with the newest mtime).
It is therefore common to be able to complete an entire operation
by accessing only one packfile, even if there are 25 packfiles
available to the repository.
Rather than opening and mmaping the corresponding .idx file for
every pack found, we now only open and map the .idx when we suspect
there might be an object of interest in there.
Of course we cannot known in advance which packfile contains an
object, so we still need to scan the entire packed_git list to
locate anything. But odds are users want to access objects in the
most recently created packfiles first, and that may be all they
ever need for the current operation.
Junio observed in b867092f that placing recent packfiles before
older ones can slightly improve access times for recent objects,
without degrading it for historical object access.
This change improves upon Junio's observations by trying even harder
to avoid the .idx files that we won't need.

This just basically creates a "pack_refs()" function that could be used by
anybody. You pass it in the flags you want as a bitmask (PACK_REFS_ALL and
PACK_REFS_PRUNE), and it will do all the heavy lifting.
Of course, it's still static, and it's all in the builtin-pack-refs.c
file, so it's not actually visible to the outside, but the next step would
be to just move it all to a library file (probably refs.c) and expose it.
Then we could easily make "git gc" do this too.
While I did it, I also made it check the return value of the fflush and
fsync stage, to make sure that we don't overwrite the old packed-refs file
with something that got truncated due to write errors!

Fix mishandling of $Id$ expanded in the repository copy in convert.c
If the repository contained an expanded ident keyword (i.e. $Id:XXXX$),
then the wrong bytes were discarded, and the Id keyword was not
expanded. The fault was in convert.c:ident_to_worktree().
Previously, when a "$Id:" was found in the repository version,
ident_to_worktree() would search for the next "$" after this, and
discarded everything it found until then. That was done with the loop:
do {
ch = *cp++;
if (ch == '$')
break;
rem--;
} while (rem);
The above loop left cp pointing one character _after_ the final "$"
(because of ch = *cp++). This was different from the non-expanded case,
were cp is left pointing at the "$", and was different from the comment
which stated "discard up to but not including the closing $". This
patch fixes that by making the loop:
do {
ch = *cp;
if (ch == '$')
break;
cp++;
rem--;
} while (rem);
That is, cp is tested _then_ incremented.
This loop exits if it finds a "$" or if it runs out of bytes in the
source. After this loop, if there was no closing "$" the expansion is
skipped, and the outer loop is allowed to continue leaving this
non-keyword as it was. However, when the "$" is found, size is
corrected, before running the expansion:
size -= (cp - src);
This is wrong; size is going to be corrected anyway after the expansion,
so there is no need to do it here. This patch removes that redundant
correction.
To help find this bug, I heavily commented the routine; those comments
are included here as a bonus.

This updates t4014 to check the two fixes for git-am and git-commit
we observed with "echo" that does backslash interpolation by default
without being asked with -e option.
git-commit: use printf '%s\n' instead of echo on user-supplied strings
This fixes the same issue git-am had, which was fixed by Jeff
King in the previous commit. Cleverly enough, this commit's log
message is a good test case at the same time.
git-am: use printf instead of echo on user-supplied strings
Under some implementations of echo (such as that provided by
dash), backslash escapes are recognized without any other
options. This means that echo-ing user-supplied strings may
cause any backslash sequences in them to be converted. Using
printf resolves the ambiguity.
This bug can be seen when using git-am to apply a patch
whose subject contains the character sequence "\n"; the
characters are converted to a literal newline. Noticed by
Szekeres Istvan.

I've taught myself to use "git gc" instead of doing the repack explicitly,
but it doesn't actually do what I think it should do.
We've had packed refs for a long time now, and I think it just makes sense
to pack normal branches too. So I end up having to do
git pack-refs --all --prune
in order to get a nice git repo that doesn't have any unnecessary files.
So why not just do that in "git gc"? It's not as if there really is any
downside to packing branches, even if they end up changing later. Quite
often they don't, and even if they do, so what?
Also, make the default for refs packing just be an unambiguous "do it",
rather than "do it by default only for non-bare repositories". If you want
that behaviour, you can always just add a
[gc]
packrefs = notbare
in your ~/.gitconfig file, but I don't actually see why bare would be any
different (except for the broken reason that http-fetching used to be
totally broken, and not doing it just meant that it didn't even get
fixed in a timely manner!).
So here's a trivial patch to make "git gc" do a better job. Hmm?

In git.git repository, "git-name-rev v1.3.0~158" cannot name the
rev, while adjacent revs can be named.
This was because it gives up traversal from the tips of existing
refs as soon as it sees a commit that has older commit timestamp
than what is being named. This is usually a good heuristics,
but v1.3.0~158 has a slightly older commit timestamp than
v1.3.0~157 (i.e. it's child), as these two were made in a
separate repostiory (in fact, in a different continent).
This adds a hardcoded slop value (1 day) to the cut-off
heuristics to work this kind of problem around. The current
algorithm essentially runs around from the available tips down
to ancient commits and names every single rev available that are
newer than cut-off date, so a single day slop would not add that
much overhead in repositories with long enough history where the
performance of name-rev matters.
I think the algorithm could be made a bit smarter by deepening
the graph on demand as a new commit is asked to be named (this
would require rewriting of name_rev() function not to recurse
itself but use a traversal list like revision.c traverser does),
but that would be a separate issue.

A few new configuration options grew out of the woodwork during the

I wanted to also add completion support for the <driver> part of

Fix possible coredump with fast-import --import-marks
When e8438420bb7d368bec3647b90c557b9931582267 allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table. Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer. Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.
This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.
Prior versions of fast-import fail the new test(s); this commit
allows them to pass.

git-apply: Fix removal of new trailing blank lines.
The earlier code removed one newline too many from the hunk that
adds new lines at the end of the file. Also the way the code
counted the added blank lines was somewhat roundabout; I think
the way updated code does it is more direct and easier to
follow:
* We keep track of the number of blank lines added;
* While processing each line, we notice if it adds a blank
line, and increment the counter, or reset it to zero
otherwise;
* When actually we apply the data, we remove the empty lines we
counted earlier if we are applying it at the end of the
file.

For non-blob entries `-' is used.

meaning, and is not very interesting. Moreover, in planned

size would need to be calculated.

I didn't have a chance to test the off-by-default minimize-url

Additionally, follow-parent functionality seems broken when we're
not connected to the root of the repository.
Default behavior for "traditional" git-svn users who only track
one directory (without needing follow-parent) should be
reasonable, as those users started using things before
minimize-url functionality existed.
Behavior for users more used to the git-svnimport-like command
line will also benefit from a more-flexible command-line than
svnimport given the assumption they're working with
non-restrictive read permissions on the repository.
I hope to properly fix these bugs when I get a chance to in the

reverting to the old behavior as soon as possible.
