b57fb80a7d init, clone: support --separate-git-dir for .git file
--separate-git-dir tells git to create git dir at the specified
location, instead of where it is supposed to be. A .git file that
points to that location will be put in place so that it appears normal
to repo discovery process.

9d379f4fd0 git-init.txt: move description section up
It's more or less standard that synopsis is followed by description,
then options.

This is not just a clean move though:

 - The paragraphs are realigned a bit
 - The text mentioning git-init-db is dropped. init-db is
   deprecated, no need to confuse new users

5e96a847b3 gitweb: fix #patchNN anchors when path_info is enabled
When $feature{'pathinfo'} is used, gitweb script sets the base URL to
itself, so that relative links to static files work correctly.  It
does it by adding something like below to HTML head:

  <base href="http://HOST/gitweb.cgi">

This breaks the "patch" anchor links seen on the commitdiff pages,
because these links, being relative (<a href="#patch1">), are resolved
(computed) relative to the base URL and not relative to current URL,
i.e. as:

  http://HOST/gitweb.cgi#patch1

Instead, they should look like this:

  35a9811ef9 (patch1)

Add an "-anchor" parameter to href(), and use href(-anchor=>"patch1")
to generate "patch" anchor links, so that the full path is included in
the patch link.

While at it, convert

  print "foo";
  print "bar";

to

  print "foo" .
        "bar";

in the neighborhood of changes.

36cfda1552 refs_from_alternate: helper to use refs from alternates
The receiving end of "git push" advertises the objects that the repository
itself does not use, but are at the tips of refs in other repositories
whose object databases are used as alternates for it. This helps it avoid
having to receive (and the pusher having to send) objects that are already
available to the receiving repository via the alternates mechanism.

Tweak the helper function that implements this feature, and move it to
transport.[ch] for future reuse by other programs.

The additional test demonstrates how this optimization is helping "git push",
and "git fetch" is ignorant about it.

ebec842773 run-command: prettify -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE workaround
Current gcc + glibc with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE try very aggressively to
protect against a programming style which uses write(...) without
checking the return value for errors.  Even the usual hint of casting
to (void) does not suppress the warning.

Sometimes when there is an output error, especially right before exit,
there really is nothing to be done.  The obvious solution, adopted in
v1.7.0.3~20^2 (run-command.c: fix build warnings on Ubuntu,
2010-01-30), is to save the return value to a dummy variable:

	ssize_t dummy;
	dummy = write(...);

But that (1) is ugly and (2) triggers -Wunused-but-set-variable
warnings with gcc-4.6 -Wall, so we are not much better off than when
we started.

Instead, use an "if" statement with an empty body to make the intent
clear.

	if (write(...))
		; /* yes, yes, there was an error. */

28bd70d811 unbreak and eliminate NO_C99_FORMAT
In the spirit of v1.5.0.2~21 (Check for PRIuMAX rather than
NO_C99_FORMAT in fast-import.c, 2007-02-20), use PRIuMAX from
git-compat-util.h on all platforms instead of C99-specific formats
like %zu with dangerous fallbacks to %u or %lu.

So now C99-challenged platforms can build git without provoking
warnings or errors from printf, even if pointers do not have the same
size as an int or long.

The need for a fallback PRIuMAX is detected in git-compat-util.h with
"#ifndef PRIuMAX".  So while at it, simplify the Makefile and configure
script by eliminating the NO_C99_FORMAT knob altogether.

31d713d069 mktag: avoid %td in format string
Since v1.7.0-rc0~34 (make "mktag" a built-in, 2010-01-22), git mktag
uses the C99-style %td format to print ptrdiff_t values.  It falls
back to %d when NO_C99_FORMAT is set, on the assumption that pre-C99
systems probably are using 32-bit pointers.

But many modern systems are 64-bit and

 * sometimes one wants to test the NO_C99_FORMAT fallbacks using a
   modern development platform;
 * some platforms (I'm looking at you, msvc) have not gotten with the
   program and are still C89-only.

These ptrdiff_t values are offsets from the beginning of a buffer, so
a size_t or uintmax_t would work about as well.  Use the latter so we
can take advantage of the PRIuMAX fallback in git-compat-util.h, even
on C99-challenged systems with 64-bit pointers.

3ba2e8653c stash: copy the index using --index-output instead of cp -p
'git stash create' must operate with a temporary index. For this purpose,
it used 'cp -p' to create a copy. -p is needed to preserve the timestamp
of the index file. Now Jakob Pfender reported a certain combination of
a Linux NFS client, OpenBSD NFS server, and cp implementation where this
operation failed.

Luckily, the first operation in git-stash after copying the index is to
call 'git read-tree'. Therefore, use --index-output instead of 'cp -p'
to write the copy of the index.

--index-output requires that the specified file is on the same volume as
the source index, so that the lock file can be rename()d. For this reason,
the name of the temporary index is constructed in a way different from the
other temporary files. The code path of 'stash -p' also needs a temporary
index, but we do not use the new name because it does not depend on the
same precondition as --index-output.

The * was inside the quotes, so that the pattern was never expanded and the
temporary files were never removed. As a consequence, 'stash -p' left a
.git-stash-*-patch file in $GIT_DIR. Other code paths did not leave files
behind because they removed the temporary file themselves, at least in
non-error paths.

6affdbe677 gitweb: highlight: replace tabs with spaces
Consider the following code fragment:

        /*
         * test
         */

vim ":set list" mode shows that the first character on each line is a
tab:

^I/*$
^I * test$
^I */$

By default, the "highlight" program will retain the tabs in the HTML
output:

$ highlight --fragment --syntax c test.c
        <span class="hl com">/*</span>
<span class="hl com">    * test</span>
<span class="hl com">    */</span>

vim list mode:

^I<span class="hl com">/*</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I * test</span>$
<span class="hl com">^I */</span>$

In gitweb, this winds up looking something like:

   1         /*
   2     * test
   3     */

I tried both Firefox and Opera and saw the same behavior.

The desired output is:

   1         /*
   2          * test
   3          */

This can be accomplished by specifying "--replace-tabs=8" on the
highlight command line.

2cfe8a68cc diff --quiet: disable optimization when --diff-filter=X is used
The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes
and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet.
And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change.

When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the
path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES
bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end.
The optimization needs to be disabled for such case.

Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"
options, 2009-05-22) already disables this optimization by refraining
from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect
the contents of the files (e.g. -S, -w) in diff_change() function.

b406a2d3e3 valgrind: ignore SSE-based strlen invalid reads
Some versions of strlen use SSE to speed up the calculation and load 4
bytes at a time, even if it means reading past the end of the
allocated memory. This read is safe and when the strlen function is
inlined, it is not replaced by valgrind, which reports a
false-possitive.

Tell valgrind to ignore this particular error, as the read is, in
fact, safe. Current upstream-released version 3.6.1 is affected. Some
distributions have this fixed in their latest versions.

   * prepares a revision walk to list commits in the symmetric

   It returns nonzero on error.

the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

afa1dd9a46 git-p4: Fix error message crash in P4Sync.commit.
There is an error message that crashes the script because of an invalid ref
to the non-existing "path" variable. It is almost never printed, which
would explain why nobody encountered this problem before... But anyway,
this oneliner fixes it.

d53de8b97d Teach git-p4 to ignore case in perforce filenames if configured.
When files are added to perforce, the path to that file has whichever case
configuration that exists on the machine of the user who added the file.
What does that mean? It means that when Alice adds a file

//depot/DirA/FileA.txt

... and Bob adds:

//depot/dirA/FileB.txt

... we may or may not get a problem. If a user sets the config variable
git-p4.ignorecase to "true", we will consider //depot/DirA and //depot/dirA
to be the same directory.

99f790f22e git-p4: Teach gitConfig method about arguments.
With this patch, it is possible to call the gitConfig method with an optional
argument string, which will be passed to the "git config" executable. For
instance:

gitConfig("core.ignorecase", "--bool")

will ensure that you get the value "true", and won't have to check the returned
value for [1, true, on, yes].
