Unfortunately, prefix_path() sometimes returns a newly xmalloc()ed buffer,
and in other cases it returns a substring!
For example, when calling
git update-index ./hello.txt
prefix_path() returns "hello.txt", but does not allocate a new buffer. The
original code only checked if the result of prefix_path() was different from
what was passed in, and thusly trigger a segmentation fault.

If the variable we need to store should go into a section
that currently only has a single variable (not matching
the one we're trying to insert), we will already be into
the next section before we notice we've bypassed the correct
location to insert the variable.
To handle this case we store the current location as soon
as we find a variable matching the section of our new
variable.
This breakage was brought up by Linus.

After running 'git-update-index' for some paths, you may want to
do the update on the same set of paths again.
The new flag --again checks the paths whose index entries are

prefix_path() sometimes allocates new memory and returns it, and
other times returns the incoming path argument intact. The
callers need to be a bit careful not to leak memory.

This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.
* "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
binary patch. It implies --full-index and -p.
* "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
"apply --binary".
* After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms
defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the
deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
from the preimage to postimage.
For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

One of my post-update scripts runs a git-fetch into a separate
repository and sends the results back to me (2>&1); I end up
getting this in the mail:
Generating pack...

Result has 131 objects.

This defaults not to do the progress report when not on a tty.
You could give --progress to force the progress report, but
let's not bother even documenting it nor mentioning it in the
usage string.

When called with "--stdout", it still writes to standard output.
Notable differences to git-format-patch:
- since fmt-patch uses the standardized logging machinery, it is
no longer "From nobody", but "From <commit_sha1>",
- the empty lines before and after the "---" just before the
diffstat are no longer there,
- git-format-patch outputs the commit_sha1 just before the first
diff, which fmt-patch does not,
- the file names are no longer output to stdout, but to stderr
(since stdout is freopen()ed all the time), and
- "git fmt-patch HEAD^" does not work as expected: it outputs
*all* commits reachable from HEAD^!
The last one is possibly a showstopper. At least I used to call that
command quite often...
