The auto-tag-following code in "git fetch" tries to reuse the same
transport twice when the serving end does not cooperate and does

urlmatch.c: recompute pointer after append_normalized_escapes

When append_normalized_escapes is called, its internal strbuf_add* calls can
cause the strbuf's buf to be reallocated changing the value of the buf pointer.

Do not use the strbuf buf pointer from before any append_normalized_escapes
calls afterwards. Instead recompute the needed pointer.

lookup_object: remove hashtable_index() and optimize... Nicolas Pitre Tue, 10 Sep 2013 22:17:12 +0000 (18:17 -0400)

lookup_object: remove hashtable_index() and optimize hash_obj()

hashtable_index() appears to be a close duplicate of hash_obj().
Keep only the later and make it usable for all cases.

Also remove the modulus as this is an expensive operation.
The size argument is always a power of 2 anyway, so a simple
mask operation provides the same result.

On a 'git rev-list --all --objects' run this decreased the time spent
in lookup_object from 27.5% to 24.1%.

cvsserver: pick up the right mode bitsJunio C Hamano Tue, 10 Sep 2013 22:33:06 +0000 (15:33 -0700)

cvsserver: pick up the right mode bits

When determining the file mode from either ls-tree or diff-tree
output, we used to grab these octal mode string (typically 100644 or
100755) and then did

$git_perms .= "r" if ( $mode & 4 );
$git_perms .= "w" if ( $mode & 2 );
$git_perms .= "x" if ( $mode & 1 );

which was already wrong, as (100644 & 4) is very different from
oct("100644") & 4. An earlier refactoring 2c3af7e7 (cvsserver:
factor out git-log parsing logic, 2012-10-13) further changed it to
pick the third octal digit (10*0*644 or 10*0*755) from the left and
then do the above conversion, which does not make sense, either.

Let's use the third digit from the last of the octal mode string to
make sure we get the executable and read bits right.

If SSL verification is enabled in git send-email, we could attempt to call a

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally

When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".

This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.

Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).

Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.

Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

config: make numeric parsing errors more clear

If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".

We can improve two things:

1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').

2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
"invalid unit" versus "out of range").

A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.
