ffc9329f48 repack: retain the return value of pack-objects
During the review process of the previous commit (repack: rewrite the
shell script in C), Johannes Sixt proposed to retain any exit codes from
the sub-process, which makes it probably more obvious in case of failure.

As the commit before should behave as close to the original shell
script, the proposed change is put in this extra commit.
The infrastructure however was already setup in the previous commit.
(Having a local 'ret' variable)

a1bbc6c017 repack: rewrite the shell script in C
The motivation of this patch is to get closer to a goal of being
able to have a core subset of git functionality built in to git.
That would mean

 * people on Windows could get a copy of at least the core parts
   of Git without having to install a Unix-style shell

 * people using git in on servers with chrooted environments
   do not need to worry about standard tools lacking for shell
   scripts.

This patch is meant to be mostly a literal translation of the
git-repack script; the intent is that later patches would start using
more library facilities, but this patch is meant to be as close to a
no-op as possible so it doesn't do that kind of thing.

062aeee8aa Revert "cat-file: split --batch input lines on whitespace"
This reverts commit c334b87b30c1464a1ab563fe1fb8de5eaf0e5bac; the
update assumed that people only used the command to read from
"rev-list --objects" output, whose lines begin with a 40-hex object
name followed by a whitespace, but it turns out that scripts feed
random extended SHA-1 expressions (e.g. "HEAD:$pathname") in which
a whitespace has to be kept.

c17592a7a2 commit: tweak empty cherry pick advice for sequencer
When we refuse to make an empty commit, we check whether we
are in a cherry-pick in order to give better advice on how
to proceed. We instruct the user to repeat the commit with
"--allow-empty" to force the commit, or to use "git reset"
to skip it and abort the cherry-pick.

In the case of a single cherry-pick, the distinction between
skipping and aborting is not important, as there is no more
work to be done afterwards.  When we are using the sequencer
to cherry pick a series of commits, though, the instruction
is confusing: does it skip this commit, or does it abort the
rest of the cherry-pick?

It does skip, after which the user can continue the
cherry-pick. This is the right thing to be advising the user
to do, but let's make it more clear what will happen, both
by using the word "skip", and by mentioning that the rest of
the sequence can be continued via "cherry-pick --continue"
(whether we skip or take the commit).

Document for interactive git-clean says: "You also could say `c` or

because only hotkey `c` and full match (`clean`) could work.

document right.

adfc1857bd describe: fix --contains when a tag is given as input
"git describe" takes a commit and gives it a name based on tags in
its neighbourhood.  The command does take a commit-ish but when
given a tag that points at a commit, it should dereference the tag
before computing the name for the commit.

As the whole processing is internally delegated to name-rev, if we
unwrap tags down to the underlying commit when invoking name-rev, it
will make the name-rev issue an error message based on the unwrapped
object name (i.e. either 40-hex object name, or "$tag^0") that is
different from what the end-user gave to the command when the commit
cannot be described.  Introduce an internal option --peel-tag to the
name-rev to tell it to unwrap a tag in its input from the command
line.

118aa4acff name-rev: differentiate between tags and commits they point at
"git name-rev --stdin" has been fixed to convert an object name that
points at a tag to a refname of the tag.  The codepath to handle its
command line arguments, however, fed the commit that the tag points
at to the underlying naming machinery.

With this fix, you will get this:

    $ git name-rev --refs=tags/\* --name-only $(git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0)
    v1.8.3
    v1.8.3^0

which is the same as what you would get from the fixed "--stdin" variant:

    $ git rev-parse v1.8.3 v1.8.3^0 | git name-rev --refs=tags/\* --name-only
    v1.8.3

42063f95a0 apply, entry: speak of submodules instead of subprojects
There are only four (with some generous rounding) instances in the
current source code where we speak of "subproject" instead of
"submodule".  They are as follows:

* one error message in git-apply and two in entry.c

* the patch format for submodule changes

The latter was introduced in 0478675 (Expose subprojects as special
files to "git diff" machinery, 2007-04-15), apparently before the
terminology was settled.  We can of course not change the patch
format.

Let's at least change the error messages to consistently call them
"submodule".

5b0864070e sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).

This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).

This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.

As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:

  1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
     always ask for and return the type field.

  2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
     so always asks for it.

  3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
     %(objecttype) is part of the format string.

On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'

on a fully packed repository goes from:

  real    0m8.680s
  user    0m8.160s
  sys     0m0.512s

to:

  real    0m7.205s
  user    0m6.580s
  sys     0m0.608s

25fba78d36 cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().

Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.

With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects

on the linux.git repository:

  real    1m13.494s
  user    0m25.924s
  sys     0m47.532s

If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:

  real    0m54.697s
  user    0m21.692s
  sys     0m32.916s

but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues).  If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:

  real    0m7.452s
  user    0m6.836s
  sys     0m0.608s

This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.

1bc888193e teach config --blob option to parse config from database
This can be used to read configuration values directly from git's
database. For example it is useful for reading to be checked out
.gitmodules files directly from the database.
