49fa65a7a8 Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command invocation path
If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).

The Makefile rules were written with the assumption that $(gitexecdir) is
an absolute path. We introduce a separate variable that names the
(absolute) installation directory.

966c6edd31 Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command invocation
$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.

Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

46beb55988 Makefile: Normalize $(bindir) and $(gitexecdir) before comparing
The install target needs to check whether the user has opted to make
$(gitexecdir) equal to $(bindir). It did so by a straight string
comparison. Since we are going to allow a relative $(gitexecdir), we have
to normalize paths before comparison, which we do with $(cd there && pwd).

The normalized paths are stored in shell variables. These we can now
reuse in the subsequent install statements, which conveniently shortens
the lines a bit.

c70a8d98a5 Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir)
There is already a copy in $(bindir). A subsequent patch will enable git
to derive the exec-path from its invocation path. If git is invoked
recursively, the first invocation puts the exec-path into PATH, so that
the recursive invocation would find the instance in the exec-path. This
second instance would again try to derive an exec-path from its invocation
path, but would base its result on the wrong "bindir".

We do install the copy of git first, but remove it later, so that we can
use it as the source of the hardlinks for the builtins.

bfce5087ee Makefile: fix shell quoting
Makefile records paths to a few programs in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file.  These
paths need to be quoted twice: once to protect specials from the shell
that runs the generated GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file, and again to protect them
(and the first level of quoting itself) from the shell that runs the
"echo" inside the Makefile.

You can test this by trying:

    $ ln -s /bin/tar "$HOME/Tes' program/tar"
    $ make TAR="$HOME/Tes' program/tar" test

	Documentation/technical/api-string-list.txt
$ perl -i -pe 's/strdup_paths/strdup_strings/g' $(git grep -l strdup_paths)

... and then fix all users of string-list to access the member "string"
instead of "path".

5b8e6f85f9 shrink git-shell by avoiding redundant dependencies
A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality
were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times.

This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by:
1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell;
2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the
   later self sufficient;
3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file.

settings on master using GCC 4.1.2:

112db553b0 Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions
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).

However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here

457bb45291 Port to 12 other Platforms.
This patch adds support to compile and run git on 12 additional platforms.
The platforms are based on UNIX Systems Labs (USL)/Novell/SYS V code base.
The most common are Novell UnixWare 2.X.X, SCO UnixWare 7.X.X,
OpenServer 5.0.X, OpenServer 6.0.X, and SCO pre OSR 5 platforms.

Looking at the the various platform headers, I find:

	#if defined(_KERNEL) || !defined(_POSIX_SOURCE) \
	     && !defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) && !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)

which hides u_short and other typedefs that other header files on these
platforms depend on.  WIth _XOPEN_SOURCE defined, sources that include
system header files that depend on the typedefs such as u_short cannot be
compiled on these platforms.

__USLC__ indicates UNIX System Labs Corperation (USLC), or a Novell-derived
compiler and/or some SysV based OS's.

__M_UNIX indicates XENIX/SCO UNIX/OpenServer 5.0.7 and prior releases
of the SCO OS's.  It is used just like Apple and BSD, both of these
shouldn't have _XOPEN_SOURCE defined.

This is with suggestions and modifications from

628522ec14 sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1
Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.

A conventional binary search loop looks like this:

        unsigned lo, hi;
        do {
                unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
                int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
                if (!cmp)
                        return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
                if (cmp > 0)
                        hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
                else
                        lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
        } while (lo < hi);
	"did not find what we wanted"

The invariants are:

  - When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
    above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
    a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
    never be at the target).

  - We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
    the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
    check if 'mi' hits the target.  There are three cases:

     - if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;

     - if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
       'hi', and repeat the search.

     - if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
       to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
       target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.

    If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.

When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied.  When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.

This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution.  An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table.  In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.

This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging.  Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.

On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    3.93user 0.16system 0:04.09elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+55588minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    4.00user 0.15system 0:04.17elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+60258minor)pagefaults 0swaps

In the same repository:

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.12user 0.00system 0:00.12elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+4241minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.05user 0.01system 0:00.07elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+8506minor)pagefaults 0swaps

There isn't much time difference, but the number of minor faults
seems to show that we are touching much smaller number of pages,
which is expected.
