733f1815ab Use 'printf %s $x' notation in t5401
We only care about getting what should be an empty string and
sending it to a file, without a trailing LF, so the empty string
translates into a 0 byte file.  Earlier when I originally wrote
these lines Mac OS X allowed the format string of printf to be
the empty string, but more recent versions appear to have been
'improved' with error messages if the format is not given.

This may cause problems if we ever wind up with changes to the hook
tests.  A minor cleanup makes the test more safe on all systems,
by conforming to accepted printf conventions.

def16e7181 filter-branch.sh: remove temporary directory on failure
One of the first things filter-branch does is to create a temporary
directory. This directory is eventually removed by the script during
normal operation, but is not removed if the script encounters an error.

Set a trap to remove it when the script terminates for any reason.

0eab8ca68a git-relink: avoid hard linking in objects/info directory
git-relink is intended to search for packs and loose objects in
common between two repositories and to replace the one set with
hard links to the other. Files other than packs and loose objects
should not be touched, so add the "info" sub-directory to the
pattern of directory excludes.

bda3a31cc7 reflog-expire: Avoid creating new files in a directory inside readdir(3) loop
"git reflog expire --all" opened a directory in $GIT_DIR/logs/,
read reflog files in there readdir(3), and rewrote the file by
creating a new file and renaming it back inside the loop.  This
code structure can cause the newly created file to be returned
by subsequent call to readdir(3), and fall into an infinite loop
in the worst case.

This separates the processing to two phase.  Running
for_each_reflog() to find out and collect all refs, and then
iterate over them, calling expire_reflog().  This way, the
program would behave exactly the same way as if all the refs
were given by the user from the command line.

3a9f0f41db parse-options: catch likely typo in presense of aggregated options.
If options are aggregated, and that the whole token is an exact
prefix of a long option that is longer than 2 letters, reject
it.  This is to prevent a common typo:

	$ git commit -amend

to get interpreted as "commit all with message 'end'".

The typo check isn't performed if there is no aggregation,
because the stuck form is the recommended one.  If we have `-o`
being a valid short option that takes an argument, and --option
a long one, then we _MUST_ accept -option as "'o' option with
argument 'ption'", which is our official recommended form.

2600973f2c pre-POSIX.1-2001 systems do not have <sys/select.h>
POSIX.1-2001 has declaration of select(2) in <sys/select.h>, but
in the previous version of SUS, it was declared in <sys/time.h>
(which is already included in git-compat-util.h).

This introduces NO_SYS_SELECT_H macro in the Makefile to be set
on older systems, to skip inclusion of <sys/select.h> that does
not exist on them.

We could check _POSIX_VERSION with 200112L and do this
automatically, but earlier it was reported that the approach
does not work well on some vintage of HP-UX.  Other systems may
get _POSIX_VERSION itself wrong.  At least for now, this manual
configuration is safer.

5a9dd3998f git-commit: exit non-zero if we fail to commit the index
In certain rare cases, the creation of the commit object
and update of HEAD can succeed, but then installing the
updated index will fail. This is most likely caused by a
full disk or exceeded disk quota. When this happens the
new index file will be removed, and the repository will
be left with the original now-out-of-sync index. The
user can recover with a "git reset HEAD" once the disk
space issue is resolved.

We should detect this failure and offer the user some
helpful guidance.

cf558704fb Create pathname-based hash-table lookup into index
This creates a hash index of every single file added to the index.
Right now that hash index isn't actually used for much: I implemented a
"cache_name_exists()" function that uses it to efficiently look up a
filename in the index without having to do the O(logn) binary search,
but quite frankly, that's not why this patch is interesting.

No, the whole and only reason to create the hash of the filenames in the
index is that by modifying the hash function, you can fairly easily do
things like making it always hash equivalent names into the same bucket.

That, in turn, means that suddenly questions like "does this name exist
in the index under an _equivalent_ name?" becomes much much cheaper.

Guiding principles behind this patch:

 - it shouldn't be too costly. In fact, my primary goal here was to
   actually speed up "git commit" with a fully populated kernel tree, by
   being faster at checking whether a file already existed in the index. I
   did succeed, but only barely:

	Best before:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
		real    0m0.255s
		user    0m0.168s
		sys     0m0.088s

	Best after:

		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git commit > /dev/null
		real    0m0.233s
		user    0m0.144s
		sys     0m0.088s

   so some things are actually faster (~8%).

   Caveat: that's really the best case. Other things are invariably going
   to be slightly slower, since we populate that index cache, and quite
   frankly, few things really use it to look things up.

   That said, the cost is really quite small. The worst case is probably
   doing a "git ls-files", which will do very little except puopulate the
   index, and never actually looks anything up in it, just lists it.

	Before:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git ls-files > /dev/null
		real    0m0.016s
		user    0m0.016s
		sys     0m0.000s

	After:
		[torvalds@woody linux]$ time ~/git/git ls-files > /dev/null
		real    0m0.021s
		user    0m0.012s
		sys     0m0.008s

   and while the thing has really gotten relatively much slower, we're
   still talking about something almost unmeasurable (eg 5ms). And that
   really should be pretty much the worst case.

   So we lose 5ms on one "benchmark", but win 22ms on another. Pick your
   poison - this patch has the advantage that it will _likely_ speed up
   the cases that are complex and expensive more than it slows down the
   cases that are already so fast that nobody cares. But if you look at
   relative speedups/slowdowns, it doesn't look so good.

 - It should be simple and clean

   The code may be a bit subtle (the reasons I do hash removal the way I
   do etc), but it re-uses the existing hash.c files, so it really is
   fairly small and straightforward apart from a few odd details.

Now, this patch on its own doesn't really do much, but I think it's worth
looking at, if only because if done correctly, the name hashing really can
make an improvement to the whole issue of "do we have a filename that
looks like this in the index already". And at least it gets real testing
by being used even by default (ie there is a real use-case for it even
without any insane filesystems).

NOTE NOTE NOTE! The current hash is a joke. I'm ashamed of it, I'm just
not ashamed of it enough to really care. I took all the numbers out of my
nether regions - I'm sure it's good enough that it works in practice, but
the whole point was that you can make a really much fancier hash that
hashes characters not directly, but by their upper-case value or something
like that, and thus you get a case-insensitive hash, while still keeping
the name and the index itself totally case sensitive.

077c48df8a read-cache.c: fix a couple more CE_REMOVE conversion
It is a D/F conflict if you want to add "foo/bar" to the index
when "foo" already exists.  Also it is a conflict if you want to
add a file "foo" when "foo/bar" exists.

An exception is when the existing entry is there only to mark "I
used to be here but I am being removed".  This is needed for
operations such as "git read-tree -m -u" that update the index
and then reflect the result to the work tree --- we need to
remember what to remove somewhere, and we use the index for
that.  In such a case, an existing file "foo" is being removed
and we can create "foo/" directory and hang "bar" underneath it
without any conflict.

We used to use (ce->ce_mode == 0) to mark an entry that is being
removed, but (CE_REMOVE & ce->ce_flags) is used for that purpose
these days.  An earlier commit forgot to convert the logic in
the code that checks D/F conflict condition.

The old code knew that "to be removed" entries cannot be at
higher stage and actively checked that condition, but it was an
unnecessary check.  This patch removes the extra check as well.

of msgfmt's --statistics output so we didn't show quite the same

output matches.

I noticed that the fuzzy translation count is off by one for the
current po/zh_cn.po file.  Not sure why and I'm not going to try
and debug it at this time as the po2msg is strictly a fallback,
users building from source really should prefer msgfmt.

The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the
cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn
uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and
the tree we want to compare against.

So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but
instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree.  That, in
turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then
means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it!

This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit"
on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once.
That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings.

Best time before:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
	real    0m0.399s
	user    0m0.232s
	sys     0m0.164s

Best time after:

	[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
	real    0m0.254s
	user    0m0.140s
	sys     0m0.112s

so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual
cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the
index!)

Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of
lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being
limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call):

	...

It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those
really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so..

NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything
is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to
mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet
you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in
particular.

eadb583134 Avoid running lstat(2) on the same cache entry.
Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath.  This
patch is not about reducing them.

 * It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
   cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
   date in the work tree.  If somebody later walks the index and
   wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
   to be checked with lstat(2) again.

 * fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
   with CE_UPTODATE.  This has the effect of marking the paths
   we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
   need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
   fo callers:

    - git-apply --index
    - git-update-index
    - git-checkout-index
    - git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
    - git-commit (ditto)
    - git-mv (ditto)

 * refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
   with CE_UPTODATE.

 * write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
   index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
   in core.  For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
   prevent an accident from happening.

7fec10b7f4 index: be careful when handling long names
We currently use lower 12-bit (masked with CE_NAMEMASK) in the
ce_flags field to store the length of the name in cache_entry,
without checking the length parameter given to
create_ce_flags().  This can make us store incorrect length.

Currently we are mostly protected by the fact that many
codepaths first copy the path in a variable of size PATH_MAX,
which typically is 4096 that happens to match the limit, but
that feels like a bug waiting to happen.  Besides, that would
not allow us to shorten the width of CE_NAMEMASK to use the bits
for new flags.

This redefines the meaning of the name length stored in the
cache_entry.  A name that does not fit is represented by storing
CE_NAMEMASK in the field, and the actual length needs to be
computed by actually counting the bytes in the name[] field.
This way, only the unusually long paths need to suffer.

7a51ed66f6 Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.

This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.

7422bac441 Document the hairy gfi_unpack_entry part of fast-import
Junio pointed out this part of fast-import wasn't very clear on
initial read, and it took some time for someone who was new to
fast-import's "dirty little tricks" to understand how this was
even working.  So a little bit of commentary in the proper place
may help future readers.

bb23fdfa6c Teach fast-import to honor pack.compression and pack.depth
We now use the configured pack.compression and pack.depth values
within fast-import, as like builtin-pack-objects fast-import is
generating a packfile for consumption by the Git tools.

We use the same behavior as builtin-pack-objects does for these
options, allowing core.compression to supply the default value
for pack.compression.

The default setting for pack.depth within fast-import is still 10
as users will generally repack fast-import generated packfiles by
`repack -f`.  A large delta depth within the fast-import packfile
can significantly slow down such a later repack.
