daemon.c: fix segfault on OS X

On OS X (and maybe other unices), getaddrinfo(3) returns NULL
in the ai_canonname field if it's called with an IP address for
the hostname. We'll now use the IP address for the hostname if
ai_canonname was NULL, this also matches the behaviour on Linux.

steps to reproduce:
$ git daemon --export-all
$ git clone git://127.0.0.1/frotz
=> git daemon's fork (silently) segfaults.

Remove the pointless loop while at it. There is only one iteration
because of the break; on the last line and there are no continues.

Makefile: fix NO_PERL bug with gitweb

When the user has defined NO_PERL, we want to skip building
gitweb entirely. However, the conditional to add
gitweb/gitweb.cgi to OTHER_PROGRAMS was evaluated before we
actually parsed the user's config.mak. This meant that "make
NO_PERL=NoThanks" worked fine, but putting "NO_PERL=NoThanks"
into your config.mak broke the build (it wanted gitweb.cgi
to satisfy "all", but the rule to build it was conditionally
ignored, so it complained).

Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink... Johannes Schindelin Sat, 25 Apr 2009 09:57:14 +0000 (11:57 +0200)

Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable

It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

inet_ntop is not protocol independent.

The '--no-thread' option is a Getopt::Long boolean option. The '--no-'

Getopt::Long version 2.32 which was released with Perl 5.8.0. This version
only supports '--no' as in '--nothread'. More recent versions of

Example correct diff generated by `diff -M -B' might look like this:

diff --git a/file1 b/file2
similarity index 100%
rename from file1
rename to file2
diff --git a/file2 b/file1
similarity index 100%
rename from file2
rename to file1

Information about removing `file2' comes after information about creation
of new `file2' (renamed from `file1'). Existing implementation isn't able to
apply such patch, because it has to know in advance which files will be
removed.

This patch populates fn_table with information about removal of files
before calling check_patch() for each patch to be applied.

Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()Johannes Sixt Mon, 20 Apr 2009 08:17:00 +0000 (10:17 +0200)

Windows: Skip fstat/lstat optimization in write_entry()

Commit e4c72923 (write_entry(): use fstat() instead of lstat() when file
is open, 2009-02-09) introduced an optimization of write_entry().
Unfortunately, we cannot take advantage of this optimization on Windows
because there is no guarantee that the time stamps are updated before the
file is closed:

"The only guarantee about a file timestamp is that the file time is
correctly reflected when the handle that makes the change is closed."

(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724290(VS.85).aspx)

The failure of this optimization on Windows can be observed most easily by
running a 'git checkout' that has to update several large files. In this
case, 'git checkout' will report modified files, but infact only the
timestamps were incorrectly recorded in the index, as can be verified by a
subsequent 'git diff', which shows no change.

Dmitry Potapov reports the same fix needs on Cygwin; this commit contains
his updates for that.

checkout branch: prime cache-tree fully

When switching to another branch, the earlier code relied on incremental
invalidation of cache-tree entries to degrade it. While it is not wrong
per-se, we know that the resulting index must fully match the branch we
are switching to unless the -m (merge) option is used.

We should simply fully re-prime the cache-tree using the new tree object
in such a case. And for safety, invalidate the cache-tree as a whole in
other cases.

read-tree A B: do not corrupt cache-treeJunio C Hamano Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:58:17 +0000 (03:58 -0700)

read-tree A B: do not corrupt cache-tree

An earlier commit aab3b9a (read-tree A B C: do not create a bogus index
and do not segfault, 2009-03-12) resurrected the support for an obscure
(but useful) feature to read and overlay more than one tree into the index
without the -m (merge) option. But the fix was not enough.

Exercising this feature exposes a longstanding bug in the code that primes
the cache-tree in the index from the tree that was read. The intention
was that when we know that the index must exactly match the tree we just
read, we prime the entire cache-tree with it.

However, the logic to detect that case incorrectly triggered if you read
two trees without -m. This resulted in a corrupted cache-tree, and
write-tree would have produced an incorrect tree object out of such an
index.

Windows: Work around intermittent failures in mingw_renameJohannes Sixt Fri, 3 Apr 2009 06:49:59 +0000 (08:49 +0200)

Windows: Work around intermittent failures in mingw_rename

We have replaced rename() with a version that can rename a file to a
destination that already exists. Nevertheless, many users, the author
included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible.

The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens
to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there
is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.)
The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The
failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for
example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation).

We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed
due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only
by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling
granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial
amount of time with exponential back-off.

add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling

The original implementation considered the mode separately
from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main
hunk-selection loop. This patch instead places a mode change
as the first hunk in the loop. This has two advantages:

1. less duplicated code (since we use the main selection
loop). This also cleans up an inconsistency, which is
that the main selection loop separates options with a
comma, whereas the mode prompt used slashes.

2. users can now skip the mode change and come back to it,
search for it (via "/mode"), etc, as they can with other
hunks.

To facilitate this, each hunk is now marked with a "type".
Mode hunks are not considered for splitting (which would
make no sense, and also confuses the split_hunk function),
nor are they editable. In theory, one could edit the mode
lines and change to a new mode. In practice, there are only
two modes that git cares about (0644 and 0755), so either
you want to move from one to the other or not (and you can
do that by staging or not staging).

There's already 'd' to stop staging hunks in a file, but no explicit

remaining ones). Of course you can do 'd' and then ^C, but it would be
more intuitive to allow 'quit' action.
