02962d3684 use strbuf_addstr() for adding constant strings to a strbuf
Replace uses of strbuf_addf() for adding strings with more lightweight
strbuf_addstr() calls.

In http-push.c it becomes easier to see what's going on without having
to verfiy that the definition of PROPFIND_ALL_REQUEST doesn't contain
any format specifiers.

715a51bcaf am: counteract gender bias
Since 47f0b6d5 (Fall back to three-way merge when applying a patch.,
2005-10-06), i.e. for almost 11 years already, we used a male form
to describe "the other tree".

While it was unintended, this gave the erroneous impression as if
the Git developers thought of users as male, and were unaware of the
important role in software development played by female actors such
as Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton. In fact, the
first professional software developers were all female.

Let's change those unfortunate references to the gender neutral
"their tree".  Doing so also makes the fallback_merge_recursive(),
which is an oddball, more in line with the other parts of the system
where we contrast what we have vs what we obtain from others by
saying "ours" vs "theirs".  This inconsistency was also unintended.

b8e47d1acf grep: fix grepping for "intent to add" files
This reverts commit 4d5520053 (grep: make it clear i-t-a entries are
ignored, 2015-12-27) and adds an alternative fix to maintain the -L
--cached behavior.

4d5520053 caused 'git grep' to no longer find matches in new files in
the working tree where the corresponding index entry had the "intent to
add" bit set, despite the fact that these files are tracked.

The content in the index of a file for which the "intent to add" bit is
set is considered indeterminate and not empty. For most grep queries we
want these to behave the same, however for -L --cached (files without a
match) we don't want to respond positively for "intent to add" files as
their contents are indeterminate. This is in contrast to files with
empty contents in the index (no lines implies no matches for any grep
query expression) which should be reported in the output of a grep -L
--cached invocation.

Add tests to cover this case and a few related cases which previously
lacked coverage.

84e213a30a commit -C: skip blank lines at the beginning of the message
Consistent with the pretty-printing machinery, we skip leading blank
lines (if any) of existing commit messages.

While Git itself only produces commit objects with a single empty line
between commit header and commit message, it is legal to have more than
one blank line (i.e. lines containing only white space, or no
characters) at the beginning of the commit message, and the
pretty-printing code already handles that.

18a74a092b clone: do not let --depth imply --shallow-submodules
In v2.9.0, we prematurely flipped the default to force cloning
submodules shallowly, when the superproject is getting cloned
shallowly.  This is likely to fail when the upstream repositories
submodules are cloned from a repository that is not prepared to
serve histories that ends at a commit that is not at the tip of a
branch, and we know the world is not yet ready.

Use a safer default to clone the submodules fully, unless the user
tells us that she knows that the upstream repository of the
submodules are willing to cooperate with "--shallow-submodules"
option.

4e55ed32db add: add --chmod=+x / --chmod=-x options
The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be
set) for paths in a repository with `core.filemode` set to false,
though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality.  For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.

Although this can be done with a plumbing command
(`git update-index --add --chmod=+x foo`), teaching the `git-add`
command allows users to set a file executable with a command that
they're already familiar with.

fb85db84dc rev-list: disable bitmaps when "-n" is used with listing objects
You can ask rev-list to use bitmaps to speed up an --objects
traversal, which should generally give you your answers much
faster.

Likewise, you can ask rev-list to limit such a traversal
with `-n`, in which case we'll show only a limited set of
commits (and only the tree and commit objects directly
reachable from those commits).

But if you do both together, the results are nonsensical. We
end up limiting any fallback traversal we do to _find_ the
bitmaps, but the actual set of objects we output will be
picked arbitrarily from the union of any bitmaps we do find,
and will involve the objects of many more commits.

It's possible that somebody might want this as a "show me
what you can, but limit the amount of work you do" flag.
But as with the prior commit clamping "--count", the results
are basically non-deterministic; you'll get the values from
some commits between `n` and the total number, and you can't
tell which.

And unlike the `--count` case, we can't easily generate the
"real" value from the bitmap values (you can't just walk
back `-n` commits and subtract out the reachable objects
from the boundary commits; the bitmaps for `X` record its
total reachability, so you don't know which objects are
directly from `X` itself, which from `X^`, and so on).

So let's just fallback to the non-bitmap code path in this
case, so we always give a sane answer.

5c9f9bf313 rev-list: "adjust" results of "--count --use-bitmap-index -n"
If you ask rev-list for:

    git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD

we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.

But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:

    git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD

we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.

But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.

This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:

  - your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
    bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)

  - the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
    every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit

  - any number in between! We might have walked back and
    found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
    early with some commits not accounted for in the result.

So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.

The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.

I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.

6a36e1e7bb cat-file: default to --buffer when --batch-all-objects is used
Traditionally cat-file's batch-mode does not do any output
buffering. The reason is that a caller may have pipes
connected to its input and output, and would want to use
cat-file interactively, getting output immediately for each
input it sends.

This may involve a lot of small write() calls, which can be
slow. So we introduced --buffer to improve this, but we
can't turn it on by default, as it would break the
interactive case above.

However, when --batch-all-objects is used, we do not read
stdin at all. We generate the output ourselves as quickly as
possible, and then exit. In this case buffering is a strict
win, and it is simply a hassle for the user to have to
remember to specify --buffer.

This patch makes --buffer the default when --batch-all-objects
is used. Specifying "--buffer" manually is still OK, and you
can even override it with "--no-buffer" if you're a
masochist (or debugging).

For some real numbers, running:

  git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname)'

on torvalds/linux goes from:

  real    0m1.464s
  user    0m1.208s
  sys     0m0.252s

to:

  real    0m1.230s
  user    0m1.172s
  sys     0m0.056s

for a 16% speedup.

845de33a5b cat-file: avoid noop calls to sha1_object_info_extended
It is not unreasonable to ask cat-file for a batch-check
format of simply "%(objectname)". At first glance this seems
like a noop (you are generally already feeding the object
names on stdin!), but it has a few uses:

  1. With --batch-all-objects, you can generate a listing of
     the sha1s present in the repository, without any input.

  2. You do not have to feed sha1s; you can feed arbitrary
     sha1 expressions and have git resolve them en masse.

  3. You can even feed a raw sha1, with the result that git
     will tell you whether we actually have the object or
     not.

In case 3, the call to sha1_object_info is useful; it tells
us whether the object exists or not (technically we could
swap this out for has_sha1_file, but the cost is roughly the
same).

In case 2, the existence check is of debatable value. A
mass-resolution might prefer performance to safety (against
outputting a value for a corrupted ref, for example).
However, the object lookup cost is likely not as noticeable
compared to the resolution cost. And since we have provided
that safety in the past, the conservative choice is to keep
it.

In case 1, though, the object lookup is a definite noop; we
know about the object because we found it in the object
database. There is no new information gained by making the
call.

This patch detects that case and optimizes out the call.
Here are best-of-five timings for linux.git:

  [before]
  $ time git cat-file --buffer \
                      --batch-all-objects \
                      --batch-check='%(objectname)'
  real    0m2.117s
  user    0m2.044s
  sys     0m0.072s

  [after]
  $ time git cat-file --buffer \
                      --batch-all-objects \
                      --batch-check='%(objectname)'
  real    0m1.230s
  user    0m1.176s
  sys     0m0.052s

There are two implementation details to note here.

One is that we detect the noop case by seeing that "struct
object_info" does not request any information. But besides
object existence, there is one other piece of information
which sha1_object_info may fill in: whether the object is
cached, loose, or packed. We don't currently provide that
information in the output, but if we were to do so later,
we'd need to take note and disable the optimization in that
case.

And that leads to the second note. If we were to output
that information, a better implementation would be to
remember where we saw the object in --batch-all-objects in
the first place, and avoid looking it up again by sha1.

In fact, we could probably squeeze out some extra
performance for less-trivial cases, too, by remembering the
pack location where we saw the object, and going directly
there to find its information (like type, size, etc). That
would in theory make this optimization unnecessary.

I didn't pursue that path here for two reasons:

  1. It's non-trivial to implement, and has memory
     implications. Because we sort and de-dup the list of
     output sha1s, we'd have to record the pack information
     for each object, too.

  2. It doesn't save as much as you might hope. It saves the
     find_pack_entry() call, but getting the size and type
     for deltified objects requires walking down the delta
     chain (for the real type) or reading the delta data
     header (for the size). These costs tend to dominate the
     non-trivial cases.

By contrast, this optimization is easy and self-contained,
and speeds up a real-world case I've used.
