git-pack-objects is already careful to start out its temporary packs
under .git/objects/pack/ (cf. 8b4eb6b, Do not perform cross-directory
renames when creating packs, 2008-09-22), but git-repack did not
respond in kind so the effort was lost when the filesystem boundary is
exactly at that directory.
Let git-repack pass a path under .git/objects/pack/ as the base for
its temporary packs.
This means we might need the $PACKDIR sooner (before the pack-objects
invocation), so move the mkdir up just to be safe.
Also note that the only use of *.pack is in the find invocation way
before the pack-objects call, so the temporary packs will not suddenly
show up in any wildcards because of the directory change.

When pushing via builtin transports (like file://, git://), the
underlying transport helper (in this case, git-pack-objects) did not get
the --progress option, even if it was passed to git push.
Fix this, and update the tests to reflect this.
Note that according to the git-pack-objects documentation, we can safely
apply the usual --progress semantics for the transport commands like
clone and fetch (and for pushing over other smart transports).

For terminal tests that capture output/stderr, the TTY prerequisite
warning does not quite work for commands like
test_terminal foo >out 2>err
because the warning gets "swallowed" up by the redirection that's
supposed only to be done by the subcommand.
Even worse, the outcome depends on whether stdout was already a
terminal (in which case test_terminal is a noop) or not (in which case
test_terminal introduces a pseudo-tty in the middle of the pipeline).
$ test_terminal.perl sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
YES
$ sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out
$
So:
- use the test_terminal script even when running with "-v".
- skip tests that require a terminal when the test_terminal
script is unusable because IO::Pty is not installed.
- write the "need to declare TTY prerequisite" message to fd 4,
where it will be printed when running tests with -v, rather
than being swallowed up by an unrelated redireciton.

It is easy to forget to declare the TTY prerequisite when
writing tests on a system where it would always be satisfied
(because IO::Pty is installed; see v1.7.3-rc0~33^2, 2010-08-16
for example). Automatically detect this problem so there is
no need to remember.
test_terminal: need to declare TTY prerequisite
test_must_fail: command not found: test_terminal echo hi
test_terminal returns status 127 in this case to simulate
not being available.
Also replace the SIMPLEPAGERTTY prerequisite on one test with

Some outputs (like the pager) care whether stdout is a

This patch sets up both. Technically speaking, we could go

one). This patch does both to keep the interface to

Saying "pack-objects died with strange error" after "pack-objects died
of signal 13" seems kind of redundant. The latter message was
introduced when the run-command API changed to report abnormal exits
on behalf of the caller (v1.6.5-rc0~86^2~5, 2009-07-04).
Similarly, after a controlled pack-objects failure (detectable as a
normal exit with nonzero status), a "died with strange error" message
would be redundant next to the message from pack-objects itself.
So leave off the "strange error" messages.
The result should look something like this:
$ git push sf master
Counting objects: 21542, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (4179/4179), done.
fatal: Unable to create temporary file: Permission denied
error: pack-objects died of signal 13
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://sf.net/gitroot/project/project'
$
Or in the "controlled exit" case (contrived example):
[...]
fatal: delta size changed
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://example.com/foo/bar'

Then, when add_mapping is processing the latter line, new_email is NULL
and we free me->email, yet do not replace it with a new strdup'd string.
Thus, when later we attempt to use the buffer behind that ->email pointer,
we reference freed memory.
The solution is to free ->email and ->name only if we're about to replace them.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
M 040000 4b825dc642 ""
is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of
git read-tree 4b825dc642

'git bisect log' is implemented by a direct invocation of 'cat

running 'git bisect log' while not bisecting leads to an error,
because the bisect logfile doesn't exists. The accompanying error
message
cat: /path/to/repo/.git/BISECT_LOG: No such file or directory
