131d6afcba gitweb: Introduce common system-wide settings for convenience
Because of backward compatibility we cannot change gitweb to always
use /etc/gitweb.conf (i.e. even if gitweb_config.perl exists).  For
common system-wide settings we therefore need separate configuration
file: /etc/gitweb-common.conf.

Long description:

gitweb currently obtains configuration from the following sources:

  1. per-instance configuration file (default: gitweb_conf.perl)
  2. system-wide configuration file (default: /etc/gitweb.conf)

If per-instance configuration file exists, then system-wide
configuration is _not used at all_.  This is quite untypical and
suprising behavior.

Moreover it is different from way git itself treats /etc/git.conf.  It
reads in stuff from /etc/git.conf and then local repos can change or
override things as needed.  In fact this is quite beneficial, because
it gives site admins a simple and easy way to give an automatic hint
to a repo about things the admin would like.

On the other hand changing current behavior may lead to the situation,
where something in /etc/gitweb.conf may interfere with unintended
interaction in the local repository.  One solution would be to
_require_ to do explicit include; with read_config_file() it is now
easy, as described in gitweb/README (description introduced in this
commit).

But as J.H. noticed we cannot ask people to modify their per-instance
gitweb config file to include system-wide settings, nor we can require
them to do this.

Therefore, as proposed by Junio, for gitweb to have centralized config
elements while retaining backwards compatibility, introduce separate
common system-wide configuration file, by default /etc/gitweb-common.conf

2579e1d293 tests: print failed test numbers at the end of the test run
On modern multi-core processors "make test" is often run in multiple jobs.
If one of them fails the test run does stop, but the concurrently running
tests finish their run. It is rather easy to find out which test failed by
doing a "ls -d t/trash*". But that only works when you don't use the "-i"
option to "make test" because you want to get an overview of all failing
tests. In that case all thrash directories are deleted end and the
information which tests failed is lost.

If one or more tests failed, print a list of them before the test summary:

failed test(s): t1000 t6500

fixed   0
success 7638
failed  3
broken  49
total   7723

This makes it possible to just run the test suite with -i and collect all
failed test scripts at the end for further examination.

95dea6eb50 streaming: free git_istream upon closing
Kirill Smelkov noticed that post-1.7.6 "git checkout"
started leaking tons of memory. The streaming_write_entry
function properly calls close_istream(), but that function
did not actually free() the allocated git_istream struct.

The git_istream struct is totally opaque to calling code,
and must be heap-allocated by open_istream. Therefore it's
not appropriate for callers to have to free it.

This patch makes close_istream() into "close and de-allocate
all associated resources". We could add a new "free_istream"
call, but there's not much point in letting callers inspect
the istream after close. And this patch's semantics make us
match fopen/fclose, which is well-known and understood.

b421812b48 doc/fast-import: clarify notemodify command
The "notemodify" fast-import command was introduced in commit a8dd2e7
(fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes, 2009-10-09)
The commit log has slightly different description than the added
documentation. The latter is somewhat confusing. "notemodify" is a
subcommand of "commit" command used to add a note for some commit.
Does this note annotate the commit produced by the "commit" command
or a commit given by it's committish parameter? Which notes tree
does it write notes to?

The exact meaning could be deduced with old description and some
notes machinery knowledge. But let's make it more obvious. This
command is used in a context like "commit refs/notes/test" to
add or rewrite an annotation for a committish parameter. So the
advised way to add notes in a fast-import stream is:
1) import some commits (optional)
2) prepare a "commit" to the notes tree:
2.1) choose notes ref, committer, log message, etc.
2.2) create annotations with "notemodify", where each can refer to
a commit being annotated via a branch name, import mark reference,
sha1 and other expressions specified in the Documentation.

d04520e344 reset: give better reflog messages
The reset command creates its reflog entry from argv.
However, it does so after having run parse_options, which
means the only thing left in argv is any non-option
arguments. Thus you would end up with confusing reflog
entries like:

  $ git reset --hard HEAD^
  $ git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
  $ git log -2 -g --oneline
  8e46cad HEAD@{0}: HEAD@{1}: updating HEAD
  1eb9486 HEAD@{1}: HEAD^: updating HEAD

However, we must also consider that some scripts may set
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION before calling reset, and we need to show
their reflog action (with our text appended). For example:

  rebase -i (squash): updating HEAD

On top of that, we also set the ORIG_HEAD reflog action
(even though it doesn't generally exist). In that case, the
reset argument is somewhat meaningless, as it has nothing to
do with what's in ORIG_HEAD.

This patch changes the reset reflog code to show:

  $GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: updating {HEAD,ORIG_HEAD}

as before, but only if GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is set. Otherwise,
show:

   reset: moving to $rev

for HEAD, and:

   reset: updating ORIG_HEAD

for ORIG_HEAD (this is still somewhat superfluous, since we
are in the ORIG_HEAD reflog, obviously, but at least we now
mention which command was used to update it).

While we're at it, we can clean up the code a bit:

 - Use strbufs to make the message.

 - Use the "rev" parameter instead of showing all options.
   This makes more sense, since it is the only thing
   impacting the writing of the ref.

9504bc9d5a transport-helper: change import semantics
Currently the helper must somehow guess how many import statements to
read before it starts outputting its fast-export stream. This is
because the remote helper infrastructure runs fast-import only once,
so the helper is forced to output one stream for all import commands
it will receive. The only reason this worked in the past was because
only one ref was imported at a time.

Change the semantics of the import statement such that it matches
that of the push statement. That is, the import statement is followed
by a series of import statements that are terminated by a '\n'.

1f25c50419 transport-helper: use the new done feature where possible
In other words, use fast-export --use-done-feature to add a 'done'
command at the end of streams passed to remote helpers' "import"
commands, and teach the remote helpers implementing "export" to use
the 'done' command in turn when producing their streams.

The trailing \n in the protocol signals the helper that the
connection is about to close, allowing it to do whatever cleanup
neccesary.

Previously, the connection would already be closed by the
time the trailing \n was to be written. Now that the remote-helper
protocol uses the new done command in its fast-import streams, this
is no longer the case and we can safely write the trailing \n.

be56862f19 fast-import: introduce 'done' command
Add a 'done' command that causes fast-import to stop reading from the
stream and exit.

If the new --done command line flag was passed on the command line
(or a "feature done" declaration included at the start of the stream),
make the 'done' command mandatory.  So "git fast-import --done"'s
input format will be prefix-free, making errors easier to detect when
they show up as early termination at some convenient time of the
upstream of a pipe writing to fast-import.

Another possible application of the 'done' command would to be allow a
fast-import stream that is only a small part of a larger encapsulating
stream to be easily parsed, leaving the file offset after the "done\n"
so the other application can pick up from there.  This patch does not
teach fast-import to do that --- fast-import still uses buffered input
(stdio).

b4b872994b git_remote_helpers: push all refs during a non-local export
When a remote helper exports to a non-local git repo, the
steps are roughly:

  1. fast-export into a local staging area; the set of
     interesting refs is defined by what is in the fast-export
     stream

  2. git push from the staging area to the non-local repo

In the second step, we should explicitly push all refs, not
just matching ones. This will let us push refs that do not
yet exist in the remote repo.

3ea7d09461 transport-helper: don't feed bogus refs to export push
When we want to push to a remote helper that has the
"export" capability, we collect all of the refs we want to
push and then feed them to fast-export.

However, the list of refs is actually a list of remote refs,
not local refs. The mapped local refs are included via the
peer_ref pointer. So when we add an argument to our
fast-export command line, we must be sure to use the local
peer_ref name (and if there is no local name, it is because
we are not actually sending that ref, or we may not even

4e51ba238f git-remote-testgit: import non-HEAD refs
Upon receiving an "import" command, the testgit remote
helper would ignore the ref asked for by git and generate a
fast-export stream based on HEAD. Instead, we should
actually give git the ref it asked for.

This requires adding a new parameter to the export_repo
method in the remote-helpers python library, which may be
used by code outside of git.git. We use a default parameter
so that callers without the new parameter will get the same
behavior as before.

c00dd33b1f t5800: document some non-functional parts of remote helpers
These are all things one might expect to work in a helper
that is capable of handling multiple branches (which our
testgit helper in theory should be able to do, as it is
backed by git). All of these bugs are specific to the
import/export codepaths, so they don't affect helpers like
git-remote-curl that use fetch/push commands.

The first and fourth tests are about fetching and pushing
new refs, and demonstrate bugs in the git_remote_helpers
library (so they would be most likely to impact helpers for
other VCSs which import/export git).

The second test is about importing multiple refs; it
demonstrates a bug in git-remote-testgit, which is mostly
for exercising the test code. Therefore it probably doesn't
affect anyone in practice.

The third test demonstrates a bug in git's side of the
helper code when the upstream has added refs that we do not
have locally. This could impact git users who use remote
helpers to access foreign VCSs.

All of those bugs have fixes later in this series.

The fifth test is the most complex, and does not have a fix
in this series. It tests pushing a ref via the export
mechanism to a new name on the remote side (i.e.,
"git push $remote old:new").

The problem is that we push all of the work of generating
the export stream onto fast-export, but we have no way of
communicating to fast-export that this name mapping is
happening. So we tell fast-export to generate a stream with
the commits for "old", but we can't tell it to label them
all as "new".

5cf5ade371 t5800: factor out some ref tests
These are a little hard to read, and I'm about to add more
just like them. Plus the failure output is nicer if we use
test_cmp than a comparison with "test".
