b31222cfb7 Update packfile transfer protocol documentation
The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both
sparse and incorrect.  This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and
send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully.

Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is
shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF
notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format.

Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the
upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt
describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress,
include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.

c28b3d6e7b Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree
This adds index as a prerequisite for directory listing (with
exclude).  At the moment directory listing is used by "git clean",
"git add", "git ls-files" and "git status"/"git commit" and
unpack_trees()-related commands.  These commands have been
checked/modified to populate index before doing directory listing.

add_excludes_from_file() does not enable this feature, because it
is used to read .git/info/exclude and some explicit files specified
by "git ls-files".

df217ed643 parse-opts: add OPT_FILENAME and transition builtins
Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix.
OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue.
OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to
represent filename options within the parse options API.

This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the
option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default
value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference
is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to
parse_options() (or parse_options_start()).

Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use
OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename
parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer
extern.

To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options()
which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix
member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the
calling context, passing NULL will suffice.

0d260f9a09 parseopt: prevent KEEP_UNKNOWN and STOP_AT_NON_OPTION from being used together
As suggested by Junio, disallow the flags PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and
PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION to be turned on at the same time, as a
value of an unknown option could be mistakenly classified as a
non-option, stopping the parser early.  E.g.:

	git cmd --known --unknown value arg0 arg1

The parser should have stopped at "arg0", but it already stops at
"value".

This patch makes parse_options() die if the two flags are used in
combination.

2fc647004a strbuf: instate cleanup rule in case of non-memory errors
Make all strbuf functions that can fail free() their memory on error if
they have allocated it.  They don't shrink buffers that have been grown,
though.

This allows for easier error handling, as callers only need to call
strbuf_release() if A) the command succeeded or B) if they would have had
to do so anyway because they added something to the strbuf themselves.

Bonus hunk: document strbuf_readlink.

9b864e730b add strbuf_expand_dict_cb(), a helper for simple cases
The new callback function strbuf_expand_dict_cb() can be used together
with strbuf_expand() if there is only a small number of placeholders
for static replacement texts.  It expects its dictionary as an array of
placeholder+value pairs as context parameter, terminated by an entry
with the placeholder member set to NULL.

The new helper is intended to aid converting the remaining calls of
interpolate().  strbuf_expand() is smaller, more flexible and can be
used to go faster than interpolate(), so it should replace the latter.

ce2cf27adc run-command: Redirect stderr to a pipe before redirecting stdout to stderr
With this patch, in the 'start_command' function after forking
we now take care of stderr in the child process before stdout.

This way if 'start_command' is called with a 'child_process'
argument like this:

	.err = -1;
	.stdout_to_stderr = 1;

then stderr will be redirected to a pipe before stdout is
redirected to stderr. So we can now get the process' stdout
from the pipe (as well as its stderr).

Earlier such a call would have redirected stdout to stderr
before stderr was itself redirected, and therefore stdout
would not have followed stderr, which would not have been
very useful anyway.

Update documentation in 'api-run-command.txt' accordingly.

d6cf61bfd4 close_lock_file(): new function in the lockfile API
The lockfile API is a handy way to obtain a file that is cleaned
up if you die().  But sometimes you would need this sequence to
work:

 1. hold_lock_file_for_update() to get a file descriptor for
    writing;

 2. write the contents out, without being able to decide if the
    results should be committed or rolled back;

 3. do something else that makes the decision --- and this
    "something else" needs the lockfile not to have an open file
    descriptor for writing (e.g. Windows do not want a open file
    to be renamed);

 4. call commit_lock_file() or rollback_lock_file() as
    appropriately.

This adds close_lock_file() you can call between step 2 and 3 in
the above sequence.

530e741c72 Start preparing the API documents.
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML
documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are
there.

I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic
in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as
needed.

a6080a0a44 War on whitespace
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have
crept in to our source files over time.  There are a few files that need
to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors).  The results
still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

1b89ef1731 Provide some technical documentation for shallow clones
There has not been any work on the shallow stuff lately, so it is hard
to find out what it does, and how. This document describes the ideas
as well as the current problems, and can serve as a starting point for
shallow people.
