40aaae88ad Better error message when we are unable to lock the index file
Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to
update the index file.  Among the index writers, everybody
except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing.

This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die
when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile.

The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because
updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not
being able to do so does not affect the correctness.  I think we
do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the
same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch.

93821bd97a sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.

A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.

Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

0270083ded Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)
This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.

It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet
but get_object() will in the next patches.

2718ff098a Improve git-peek-remote
This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that
git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no
http[s]: or rsync: support).

The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of
"--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces
git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups,
but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).

The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just
regular tags and heads, of course.

You can still also ask to limit them by name too.

You can combine the flags, so

	git peek-remote --refs --tags .

will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups
(compare the output without the "--refs" flag).

And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for
example) any special refs outside of the standard locations.

I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask
it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's
an independent thing.

All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper.

12f6c308d5 Make zlib compression level configurable, and change default.
With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about
twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in
object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable
when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster.

The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9]
which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9
being slowest.

This lets you use something like this in your $GIT_DIR/config
file.

	[diff]
		color = auto

	[diff.color]
		new = blue
		old = yellow
		frag = reverse

When diff.color is set to "auto", colored diff is enabled when
the standard output is the terminal.  Other choices are "always",
and "never".  Usual boolean true/false can also be used.

The colormap entries can specify colors for the following slots:

	plain	- lines that appear in both old and new file (context)
	meta	- diff --git header and extended git diff headers
	frag	- @@ -n,m +l,k @@ lines (hunk header)
	old	- lines deleted from old file
	new	- lines added to new file

The following color names can be used:

	normal, bold, dim, l, blink, reverse, reset,
	black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan,
	white

855419f764 Add specialized object allocator
This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.

This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.

It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:

     blobs:   627629 (14710 kB)
     trees:  1119035 (34969 kB)
   commits:   196423  (8440 kB)
      tags:     1336    (46 kB)

and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.

[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
  The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.

  Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
  total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
  object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
  another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
  memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
  of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
  object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).

  I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
  just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
  objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
  don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
  blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
  the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
  need to.

  So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
  most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
  don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
  amount. ]

This enhances core.sharedrepository to have additionally
specify that read and exec permissions to be given to others as
well.  It is useful when serving a repository via gitweb and
git-daemon that runs as a user outside the project group.

The configuration item can take the following values:

    [core]
	sharedrepository 	 ; the same as "group"
	sharedrepository = true  ; ditto
	sharedrepository = 1	 ; ditto
	sharedrepository = group ; allow rwx to group
	sharedrepository = all   ; allow rwx to group, allow rx to other
	sharedrepository = umask ; not shared - use umask

It also extends "git init-db" to take "--shared=all" and friends
from the command line.

405e5b2fe0 Libify the index refresh logic
This cleans up and libifies the "git update-index --[really-]refresh"
functionality. This will be eventually required for eventually doing the
"commit" and "status" commands as built-ins.

It really just moves "refresh_index()" from update-index.c to
read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the
function uses a "unsigned int flags" argument instead of various static
flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.

That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.

0660626caf binary diff: further updates.
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.

051308f6e9 binary patch.
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.

ea92f41ff9 revision parsing: make "rev -- paths" checks stronger.
If you don't have a "--" marker, then:

 - all of the arguments we are going to assume are pathspecs
   must exist in the working tree.

 - none of the arguments we parsed as revisions could be
   interpreted as a filename.

so that there really isn't any possibility of confusion in case
somebody does have a revision that looks like a pathname too.

The former rule has been in effect; this implements the latter.

e23d0b4a4a Fix filename verification when in a subdirectory
When we are in a subdirectory of a git archive, we need to take the prefix
of that subdirectory into accoung when we verify filename arguments.

Noted by Matthias Lederhofer

This also uses the improved error reporting for all the other git commands
that use the revision parsing interfaces, not just git-rev-parse. Also, it
makes the error reporting for mixed filenames and argument flags clearer
(you cannot put flags after the start of the pathname list).

1b0c7174a1 tree/diff header cleanup.
Introduce tree-walk.[ch] and move "struct tree_desc" and
associated functions from various places.

Rename DIFF_FILE_CANON_MODE(mode) macro to canon_mode(mode) and
move it to cache.h.  This macro returns the canonicalized
st_mode value in the host byte order for files, symlinks and
directories -- to be compared with a tree_desc entry.
create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be
used for index entries (so it does not work for directories) and
returns the value in the network byte order.

de84f99c12 Add --temp and --stage=all options to checkout-index.
Sometimes it is convient for a Porcelain to be able to checkout all
unmerged files in all stages so that an external merge tool can be
executed by the Porcelain or the end-user.  Using git-unpack-file
on each stage individually incurs a rather high penalty due to the
need to fork for each file version obtained.  git-checkout-index -a
--stage=all will now do the same thing, but faster.
