628522ec14 sha1-lookup: more memory efficient search in sorted list of SHA-1
Currently, when looking for a packed object from the pack idx, a
simple binary search is used.

A conventional binary search loop looks like this:

        unsigned lo, hi;
        do {
                unsigned mi = (lo + hi) / 2;
                int cmp = "entry pointed at by mi" minus "target";
                if (!cmp)
                        return mi; "mi is the wanted one"
                if (cmp > 0)
                        hi = mi; "mi is larger than target"
                else
                        lo = mi+1; "mi is smaller than target"
        } while (lo < hi);
	"did not find what we wanted"

The invariants are:

  - When entering the loop, 'lo' points at a slot that is never
    above the target (it could be at the target), 'hi' points at
    a slot that is guaranteed to be above the target (it can
    never be at the target).

  - We find a point 'mi' between 'lo' and 'hi' ('mi' could be
    the same as 'lo', but never can be as high as 'hi'), and
    check if 'mi' hits the target.  There are three cases:

     - if it is a hit, we have found what we are looking for;

     - if it is strictly higher than the target, we set it to
       'hi', and repeat the search.

     - if it is strictly lower than the target, we update 'lo'
       to one slot after it, because we allow 'lo' to be at the
       target and 'mi' is known to be below the target.

    If the loop exits, there is no matching entry.

When choosing 'mi', we do not have to take the "middle" but
anywhere in between 'lo' and 'hi', as long as lo <= mi < hi is
satisfied.  When we somehow know that the distance between the
target and 'lo' is much shorter than the target and 'hi', we
could pick 'mi' that is much closer to 'lo' than (hi+lo)/2,
which a conventional binary search would pick.

This patch takes advantage of the fact that the SHA-1 is a good
hash function, and as long as there are enough entries in the
table, we can expect uniform distribution.  An entry that begins
with for example "deadbeef..." is much likely to appear much
later than in the midway of a reasonably populated table.  In
fact, it can be expected to be near 87% (222/256) from the top
of the table.

This is a work-in-progress and has switches to allow easier
experiments and debugging.  Exporting GIT_USE_LOOKUP environment
variable enables this code.

On my admittedly memory starved machine, with a partial KDE
repository (3.0G pack with 95M idx):

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    3.93user 0.16system 0:04.09elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+55588minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -800 --stat HEAD >/dev/null
    4.00user 0.15system 0:04.17elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+60258minor)pagefaults 0swaps

In the same repository:

    $ GIT_USE_LOOKUP=t git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.12user 0.00system 0:00.12elapsed 97%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+4241minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Without the patch, the numbers are:

    $ git log -2000 HEAD >/dev/null
    0.05user 0.01system 0:00.07elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
    0inputs+0outputs (0major+8506minor)pagefaults 0swaps

There isn't much time difference, but the number of minor faults
seems to show that we are touching much smaller number of pages,
which is expected.

96872bc200 Move name hashing functions into a file of its own
It's really totally separate functionality, and if we want to start
doing case-insensitive hash lookups, I'd rather do it when it's
separated out.

It also renames "remove_index_entry()" to "remove_name_hash()", because
that really describes the thing better. It doesn't actually remove the
index entry, that's done by "remove_index_entry_at()", which is something
very different, despite the similarity in names.

17a8b25005 gitweb: fallback to system-wide config file if default config does not exist
From a distribution point of view, configuration files for applications
should reside in /etc/.  On the other hand it's convenient for multiple
instances of gitweb (e.g. virtual web servers on a single machine) to have
a per-instance configuration file, just as gitweb currently supports
through the file gitweb_config.perl next to the cgi.

To support both at runtime, this commit introduces GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM as
a system-wide configuration file which will be used as a fallback if the
config file sprecified throug GITWEB_CONFIG does not exist.

5f7c643afe add NO_EXTERNAL_GREP build option
Previously, we just chose whether to allow external grep
based on the __unix__ define. However, there are systems
which define this macro but which have an inferior group
(e.g., one that does not support all options used by t7002).
This allows users to accept the potential speed penalty to
get a more consistent grep experience (and to pass the
testsuite).

7cf7f54a65 use build-time SHELL_PATH in test scripts
The top-level Makefile now creates a GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file
which stores any options selected by the make process that
may be of use to further parts of the build process.
Specifically, we store the SHELL_PATH so that it can be used
by tests to construct shell scripts on the fly.

The format of the GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file is Bourne shell,
and it is sourced by test-lib.sh; all tests can rely on just
having $SHELL_PATH correctly set in the environment.

The GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS file is written every time the
toplevel 'make' is invoked. Since the only users right now
are the test scripts, there's no drawback to updating its
timestamp. If something build-related depends on this, we
can do a trick similar to the one used by GIT-CFLAGS.

833e3df171 pack-objects: Add runtime detection of online CPU's
Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's
only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value
above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.

This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.

As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.

The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by
one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the
public domain and can presently be downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/

782c2d65c2 Build in checkout
The only differences in behavior should be:

 - git checkout -m with non-trivial merging won't print out
   merge-recursive messages (see the change in t7201-co.sh)

 - git checkout -- paths... will give a sensible error message if
   HEAD is invalid as a commit.

 - some intermediate states which were written to disk in the shell
   version (in particular, index states) are only kept in memory in
   this version, and therefore these can no longer be revealed by
   later write operations becoming impossible.

 - when we change branches, we discard MERGE_MSG, SQUASH_MSG, and
   rr-cache/MERGE_RR, like reset always has.

I'm not 100% sure I got the merge recursive setup exactly right; the
base for a non-trivial merge in the shell code doesn't seem
theoretically justified to me, but I tried to match it anyway, and the
tests all pass this way.

Other than these items, the results should be identical to the shell
version, so far as I can tell.

e1b3a2cad7 Build-in merge-recursive
This makes write_tree_from_memory(), which writes the active cache as
a tree and returns the struct tree for it, available to other code. It
also makes available merge_trees(), which does the internal merge of
two trees with a known base, and merge_recursive(), which does the
recursive internal merge of two commits with a list of common
ancestors.

The first two of these will be used by checkout -m, and the third is
presumably useful in general, although the implementation of checkout
-m which entirely matches the behavior of the shell version does not
use it (since it ignores the difference of ancestry between the old
branch and the new branch).

qsort in Windows 2000 (and various other C libraries) is a Quicksort
with the usual O(n^2) worst case.  Unfortunately, sorting Git trees
seems to get very close to that worst case quite often:

    $ /git/gitbad runstatus
    # On branch master
    qsort, nmemb = 30842
    done, 237838087 comparisons.

This patch adds a simplified version of the merge sort that is glibc's
qsort(3).  As a merge sort, this needs a temporary array equal in size
to the array that is to be sorted, but has a worst-case performance of
O(n log n).

The complexity that was removed is:

* Doing direct stores for word-size and -aligned data.
* Falling back to quicksort if the allocation required to perform the
  merge sort would likely push the machine into swap.

Even with these simplifications, this seems to outperform the Windows
qsort(3) implementation, even in Windows XP (where it is "fixed" and
doesn't trigger O(n^2) complexity on trees).

[jes: moved into compat/qsort.c, as per Johannes Sixt's suggestion]
[bcd: removed gcc-ism, thanks to Edgar Toernig.  renamed make variable
      per Junio's comment.]

482cce8205 help: make 'git-help--browse' usable outside 'git-help'.
"git-help--browse" helper is to launch a browser of the user's choice
to view the HTML version of git documentation for a given command.  It
used to take the name of a command, convert it to the path of the
documentation by prefixing the directory name and appending the
".html" suffix, and start the browser on the path.

This updates the division of labor between the caller in help.c and
git-help--browser helper.  The helper is now responsible for launching
a browser of the user's choice on given URLs, and it is the caller's
responsibility to tell it the paths to documentation files.

This is in preparation to reuse the logic to choose user's preferred
browser in instaweb.

The helper had a provision for running it without any command name, in
which case it showed the toplevel "git(7)" documentation, but the
caller in help.c never makes such a call.  The helper now exits with a
usage message when no path is given.

2600973f2c pre-POSIX.1-2001 systems do not have <sys/select.h>
POSIX.1-2001 has declaration of select(2) in <sys/select.h>, but
in the previous version of SUS, it was declared in <sys/time.h>
(which is already included in git-compat-util.h).

This introduces NO_SYS_SELECT_H macro in the Makefile to be set
on older systems, to skip inclusion of <sys/select.h> that does
not exist on them.

We could check _POSIX_VERSION with 200112L and do this
automatically, but earlier it was reported that the approach
does not work well on some vintage of HP-UX.  Other systems may
get _POSIX_VERSION itself wrong.  At least for now, this manual
configuration is safer.

181256442e Move sha1_file_to_archive into libgit
When the specfile (export-subst) attribute was introduced, it added a
dependency from archive-{tar|zip}.c to builtin-archive.c. This broke the
support for archive-operations in libgit.a since builtin-archive.o doesn't
belong in libgit.a.

This patch moves the functions required by libgit.a from builtin-archive.c
to the new file archive.c (which becomes part of libgit.a).

bfa8fccf47 autoconf: Add checking for unsetenv function
Update configure.ac (and config.mak.in) by adding test for unsetenv
(NO_UNSETENV).  Add comment about NO_UNSETENV to Makefile header, as
original commit 731043fd adding compat/unsetenv.c didn't do that.
