2ae1c53b51 apply --whitespace: configuration option.
The new configuration option apply.whitespace can take one of
"warn", "error", "error-all", or "strip".  When git-apply is run
to apply the patch to the index, they are used as the default
value if there is no command line --whitespace option.

Andrew can now tell people who feed him git trees to update to
this version and say:

749be728d4 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.

5ee2ad654b Make "git clone" less of a deathly quiet experience
It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.

Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).

So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:

	[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
	Packing 188543 objects
	  48.398MB  (154 kB/s)

where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").

Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is  big step forward, I think.

5f73076c1a "Assume unchanged" git
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:

	<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>

This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of.  On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.

You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:

	git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
	git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...

These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file.  Nor they add a new
entry to the index.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:

 - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
   index file.

 - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.

 - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
   tree file and register the current object name to the index file.

The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry.  This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.

Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time.  However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:

 - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
   that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
   modifications.  This sacrifices performance for safety.

 - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
   to checkout the paths.  Otherwise you can never check
   anything out ;-).

 - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
   see if the index entry is up to date.  You can start with
   everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
   CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.

Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".

This version is not expected to be perfect.  I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

0bdd79af62 Undef DT_* before redefining them.
When overriding DT_* macro detection with NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT (recent
Cygwin build problem, which hopefully is already fixed in their CVS
snapshot version), we define DTYPE() macro to return just "we do not
know", but still needed to use DT_* macro to avoid ifdef in the code
we use them.  If the platform defines DT_* macro but with unusable
d_type, this would have resulted in us redefining these preprocessor
symbols.

Admittedly, that would be just a couple of compilation warnings, and
on Cygwin at least this particular problem is transitory (the problem
is already fixed in their CVS snapshot version), so this is a low
priority fix.

8f1d2e6f49 [PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.
ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[]; /* more */
	};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
	};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".

457f06d68e Introduce core.sharedrepository
If the config variable 'core.sharedrepository' is set, the directories

	$GIT_DIR/objects/
	$GIT_DIR/objects/??
	$GIT_DIR/objects/pack
	$GIT_DIR/refs
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads
	$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/tags

are set group writable (and g+s, since the git group may be not the primary
group of all users).

Since all files are written as lock files first, and then moved to
their destination, they do not have to be group writable.  Indeed, if
this leads to problems you found a bug.

Note that -- as in my first attempt -- the config variable is set in the
function which checks the repository format. If this were done in
git_default_config instead, a lot of programs would need to be modified
to call git_config(git_default_config) first.

[jc: git variables should be in environment.c unless there is a
 compelling reason to do otherwise.]

4f629539cd init-db: check template and repository format.
This makes init-db repository version aware.

It checks if an existing config file says the repository being
reinitialized is of a wrong version and aborts before doing
further harm.

When copying the templates, it makes sure the they are of the
right repository format version.  Otherwise the templates are
ignored with an warning message.

It copies the templates before creating the HEAD, and if the
config file is copied from the template directory, reads it,
primarily to pick up the value of core.symrefsonly.

It changes the way the result of the filemode reliability test
is written to the configuration file using git_config_set().
The test is done even if the config file was copied from the
templates.

And finally, our own repository format version is written to the
config file.

10bea152a3 Add functions git_config_set() and git_config_set_multivar()
The function git_config_set() does exactly what you think it does.
Given a key (in the form "core.filemode") and a value, it sets the
key to the value. Example:

	git_config_set("core.filemode", "true");

The function git_config_set_multivar() is meant for setting variables which
can have several values for the same key. Example:

	[diff]
		twohead = resolve
		twohead = recarsive

the typo in the second line can be replaced by

	git_config_set_multivar("diff.twohead", "recursive", "^recar");

The third argument of the function is a POSIX extended regex which has to
match the value. If there is no key/value pair with a matching value, a new
key/value pair is added.

These commands are also capable of unsetting (deleting) entries:

	git_config_set_multivar("diff.twohead", NULL, "sol");

will delete the entry

		twohead = resolve

3c07b1d194 git's rev-parse.c function show_datestring presumes gnu date
Ok. This is the insane patch to do this.

It really isn't very careful, and the reason I call it "approxidate()"
will become obvious when you look at the code. It is very liberal in what
it accepts, to the point where sometimes the results may not make a whole
lot of sense.

It accepts "last week" as a date string, by virtue of "last" parsing as
the number 1, and it totally ignoring superfluous fluff like "ago", so
"last week" ends up being exactly the same thing as "1 week ago". Fine so
far.

It has strange side effects: "last december" will actually parse as "Dec
1", which actually _does_ turn out right, because it will then notice that
it's not December yet, so it will decide that you must be talking about a
date last year. So it actually gets it right, but it's kind of for the
"wrong" reasons.

It also accepts the numbers 1..10 in string format ("one" .. "ten"), so
you can do "ten weeks ago" or "ten hours ago" and it will do the right
thing.

But it will do some really strange thigns too: the string "this will last
forever", will not recognize anyting but "last", which is recognized as
"1", which since it doesn't understand anything else it will think is the
day of the month. So if you do

	gitk --since="this will last forever"

the date will actually parse as the first day of the current month.

And it will parse the string "now" as "now", but only because it doesn't
understand it at all, and it makes everything relative to "now".

Similarly, it doesn't actually parse the "ago" or "from now", so "2 weeks
ago" is exactly the same as "2 weeks from now". It's the current date
minus 14 days.

But hey, it's probably better (and certainly faster) than depending on GNU
date. So now you can portably do things like

	gitk --since="two weeks and three days ago"
	git log --since="July 5"
	git-whatchanged --since="10 hours ago"
	git log --since="last october"

and it will actually do exactly what you thought it would do (I think). It
will count 17 days backwards, and it will do so even if you don't have GNU
date installed.

(I don't do "last monday" or similar yet, but I can extend it to that too
if people want).

It was kind of fun trying to write code that uses such totally relaxed
"understanding" of dates yet tries to get it right for the trivial cases.
The result should be mixed with a few strange preprocessor tricks, and be
submitted for the IOCCC ;)

Feel free to try it out, and see how many strange dates it gets right. Or
wrong.

And if you find some interesting (and valid - not "interesting" as in
"strange", but "interesting" as in "I'd be interested in actually doing
this) thing it gets wrong - usually by not understanding it and silently
just doing some strange things - please holler.

Now, as usual this certainly hasn't been getting a lot of testing. But my
code always works, no?

3299c6f6a8 diff: make default rename detection limit configurable.
A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175

where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits.  git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.

This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use.  You
can have:

	[diff]
		renamelimit = 30

in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit.  You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':

	git diff -M -l0

We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so.  This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

f3123c4ab3 pack-objects: Allow use of pre-generated pack.
git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache

when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
to the latest for a slow moving project).

Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
reusing.  It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.

that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.

The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately.  And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.

In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.

It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

git-show-branch acquires two new options. --sha1-name to name
commits using the unique prefix of their object names, and
--no-name to not to show names at all.

b721e01f6e Use the same move_temp_to_file in git-http-fetch.
The http commit walker cannot use the same temporary file
creation code because it needs to use predictable temporary
filename for partial fetch continuation purposes, but the code
to move the temporary file to the final location should be
usable from the ordinary object creation codepath.

Export move_temp_to_file from sha1_file.c and use it, while
losing the custom relink_or_rename function from http-fetch.c.

Also the temporary object file creation part needs to make sure
the leading path exists, in preparation of the really lazy
fan-out directory creation.

17712991a5 Add ".git/config" file parser
This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.

The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:

	#
	# This is the config file, and
	# a '#' or ';' character indicates
	# a comment
	#

	; core variables
	[core]
		; Don't trust file modes
		filemode = false

	; Our diff algorithm
	[diff]
		external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
		renames = true

which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.

Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.

Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

ec1fcc16af Show original and resulting blob object info in diff output.
This adds more cruft to diff --git header to record the blob SHA1 and
the mode the patch/diff is intended to be applied against, to help the
receiving end fall back on a three-way merge.  The new header looks
like this:

    diff --git a/apply.c b/apply.c
    index 7be5041..8366082 100644
    --- a/apply.c
    +++ b/apply.c

     //    files that are being modified, but doesn't apply the patch
     //  --stat does just a diffstat, and doesn't actually apply
    +//  --show-index-info shows the old and new index info for...
    ...

Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the
target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in
her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to
that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched
temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree
as the common ancestor.

The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem
object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output
routine.

8098a178b2 Add git-symbolic-ref
This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs".  By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.

The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

ca8db1424d [PATCH] Allow reading "symbolic refs" that point to other refs
This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file
that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus
introduces the notion of ref aliases.

This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,
but one of these symbolic refs instead.

[jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes
 and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of
 leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.]

2a39064c65 [PATCH] Return proper error valud from "parse_date()"
Right now we don't return any error value at all from parse_date(), and if
we can't parse it, we just silently leave the result buffer unchanged.

That's fine for the current user, which will always default to the current
date, but it's a crappy interface, and we might well be better off with an
error message rather than just the default date.

So let's change the thing to return a negative value if an error occurs,
and the length of the result otherwise (snprintf behaviour: if the buffer
is too small, it returns how big it _would_ have been).

[ I started looking at this in case we could support date-based revision
  names. Looks ugly. Would have to parse relative dates.. ]
