New pack structures are currently allocated in 2 different places
and all members have to be initialized explicitly. This is prone
to errors leading to segmentation faults as found by Teemu Likonen.
Let's have a common place where this structure is allocated, and have
all members explicitly initialized to zero.

Currently, execv_git_cmd() always try running the dashed form, which
means we cannot easily remove the git-foo hardlinks for built-in
commands. This updates the function to always exec "git foo" form, and
makes sure "git" potty does not infinitely recurse to itself.

We should be able to fall back to loose objects or alternative packs when
a pack becomes corrupted. This is especially true when an object exists
in one pack only as a delta but its base object is corrupted. Currently
there is no way to retrieve the former object even if the later is
available in another pack or loose.
This patch allows for a delta to be resolved (with a performance cost)
using a base object from a source other than the pack where that delta
is located. Same thing for non-delta objects: rather than failing
outright, a search is made in other packs or used loose when the
currently active pack has it but corrupted.
Of course git will become extremely noisy with error messages when that
happens. However, if the operation succeeds nevertheless, a simple
'git repack -a -f -d' will "fix" the corrupted repository given that all
corrupted objects have a good duplicate somewhere in the object store,
possibly manually copied from another source.

Suppose someone fetches git-svn-ified commits from another repo and then
attempts to use 'git-svn init --rewrite-root=foo bar'. Using git svn rebase
after that will fail badly:
* For each commit tried by working_head_info, rebuild is called indirectly.
* rebuild will iterate over all commits and skip all of them because the
URL does not match. Because of that no rev_map file is generated at all.
* Thus, rebuild will run once for every commit. This takes ages.
* In the end there still isn't any rev_map file and thus working_head_info
fails.
Addressing this behaviour fixes an apparently not too uncommon problem with
providing git-svn mirrors of Subversion repositories. Some repositories are
accessed using different URLs depending on whether the user has push
privileges or not. In the latter case, an anonymous URL is often used that
differs from the push URL. Providing a mirror that is usable in both cases
becomes a lot more possible with this change.

On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of
fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr,
we have to use this idiom:
save1 = dup(1);
dup2(pipe[1], 1);
spawnv();
dup2(save1, 1);
close(pipe[1]);
assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable.

On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows:
pipe(fd);
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
dup2(fd[1], 1);
close(fd[1]);
close(fd[0]);
...
}
close(fd[1]);
i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one
to the file descriptors where they are needed.
On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to
(1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead,
we must use this idiom:
save1 = dup(1);
pipe(fd);
dup2(fd[1], 1);
spawn(...);
dup2(save1, 1);
close(fd[1]);
i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe
end, spawn process, restore the saved file.
But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the
dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one
end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close
the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what.
The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance,
this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to
child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined
above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is
dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable
duplicates.

When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script.
This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one.
In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell
with the proper arguments.
With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments
to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet.

We also replace Windows's signal() function because we must intercept

Windows's rename() is based on the MoveFile() API, which fails if the
destination exists. Here we work around the problem by using MoveFileEx().
Furthermore, the posixly correct error is returned if the destination is
a directory.
The implementation is still slightly incomplete, however, because of the
missing error code translation: We assume that the failure is due to
permissions.

getpwuid() is implemented just enough that GIT does not issue errors.
Since the information that it returns is not very useful, users are
required to set up user.name and user.email configuration.
All uses of getpwuid() are like getpwuid(getuid()), hence, the return value
of getuid() is irrelevant and the uid parameter is not even looked at.
Side note: getpwnam() is only used to resolve '~' and '~username' paths,
which is an idiom not known on Windows, hence, we don't implement it.

GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.
We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.
A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

This turns two switch/case statements into an if-else-if cascade because
we later do not want to have
case '/':
#ifdef __MINGW32__
case '\\':
#endif
but use a predicate is_dir_sep(foo) in order to check for the directory
separator.

So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with
the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text
section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of
text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make
me think "lean and mean".
With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions
that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance
really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial
wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them
inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on
failure) unnecessarily.
So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit
of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os":
Before:
[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
text data bss dec hex filename
700460 15160 292184 1007804 f60bc git
After:
[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
text data bss dec hex filename
670540 15160 292184 977884 eebdc git
so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that
with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant
number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint).
It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be
_that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper
anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the
read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).
