ce6f351903 git-svn: remove any need for the XML::Simple dependency
XML::Simple was originally required back when I made svn-arch-mirror
because I needed to explictly track renames with Arch.  Then I carried
it over to git-svn because I was afraid somebody could commit an svn
log message that could throw off a non-XML log parser.  Then I noticed
the <n> lines column in the header.  So, no more XML :)

8de010ad28 git-svn: Allow for more argument types for commit (from..to)
Allow 'from..to' notation from the command line.

More liberal sha1 parsing when reading from stdin no longer requires the

e3b59a44f6 Keep Porcelainish from failing by broken ident after making changes.
"empty ident not allowed" error makes commit-tree fail, so we
are already safer in that we would not end up with commit
objects that have bogus names on the author or committer fields.
However, before commit-tree is called there are already changes
made to the index file and the working tree.  The operation can
be resumed after fixing the environment problem, but when this
triggers to a newcomer with unusable gecos, the first question
becomes "what did I lose and how would I recover".

This patch modifies some Porcelainish commands to verify
GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT as soon as we know we are going to make some
commits before doing much damage to prevent confusion.

749be728d4 Delay "empty ident" errors until they really matter.
Previous one warned people upfront to encourage fixing their
environment early, but some people just use repositories and git
tools read-only without making any changes, and in such a case
there is not much point insisting on them having a usable ident.

This round attempts to move the error until either "git-var"
asks for the ident explicitly or "commit-tree" wants to use it.

Fixed a couple of bugs in recovering from broken connections:

The _line() method now returns undef correctly when the connection
is broken instead of falling off the function and returning garbage.

Retries are now reported to stderr and the eventual partially
downloaded file is discarded instead of being appended to.

The "Server gone away" test has been removed, because it was

711fc8f660 Add an Emacs interface in contrib.
This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on
pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
tweaking to work on XEmacs.

The basic command is 'M-x git-status' which displays a buffer listing
modified files in the selected project tree. In that buffer the
following features are supported:

  - add/remove files
  - list unknown files
  - commit marked files
  - manage .gitignore
  - commit merges based on MERGE_HEAD
  - revert files to the HEAD version
  - resolve conflicts with smerge or ediff
  - diff files against HEAD/base/mine/other or combined diff
  - get a log of the revisions for specified files

There are plenty of unimplemented features too, see the TODO list at
the top of the file...

772d8a3b63 Make git-reset delete empty directories
When git-reset --hard is used and a subdirectory becomes
empty (as it contains no tracked files in the target tree)
the empty subdirectory should be removed.  This matches
the behavior of git-checkout-index and git-read-tree -m
which would not have created the subdirectory or would
have deleted it when updating the working directory.

Subdirectories which are not empty will be left behind.
This may happen if the subdirectory still contains object
files from the user's build process (for example).

e4c9327a77 pack-objects: avoid delta chains that are too long.
This tries to rework the solution for the excess delta chain
problem. An earlier commit worked it around ``cheaply'', but
repeated repacking risks unbound growth of delta chains.

This version counts the length of delta chain we are reusing
from the existing pack, and makes sure a base object that has
sufficiently long delta chain does not get deltified.

ca5381d43e pack-objects: finishing touches.
This introduces --no-reuse-delta option to disable reusing of
existing delta, which is a large part of the optimization
introduced by this series.  This may become necessary if
repeated repacking makes delta chain too long.  With this, the
output of the command becomes identical to that of the older
implementation.  But the performance suffers greatly.

It still allows reusing non-deltified representations; there is
no point uncompressing and recompressing the whole text.

It also adds a couple more statistics output, while squelching
it under -q flag, which the last round forgot to do.

There is one remaining issue when --no-reuse-delta option is not
used.  It can create delta chains that are deeper than specified.

    A<--B<--C<--D   E   F   G

Suppose we have a delta chain A to D (A is stored in full either
in a pack or as a loose object. B is depth1 delta relative to A,
C is depth2 delta relative to B...) with loose objects E, F, G.
And we are going to pack all of them.

B, C and D are left as delta against A, B and C respectively.
So A, E, F, and G are examined for deltification, and let's say
we decided to keep E expanded, and store the rest as deltas like
this:

    E<--F<--G<--A

Oops.  We ended up making D a bit too deep, didn't we?  B, C and
D form a chain on top of A!

This is because we did not know what the final depth of A would
be, when we checked objects and decided to keep the existing
delta.  Unfortunately, deferring the decision until just before
the deltification is not an option.  To be able to make B, C,
and D candidates for deltification with the rest, we need to
know the type and final unexpanded size of them, but the major
part of the optimization comes from the fact that we do not read
the delta data to do so -- getting the final size is quite an
expensive operation.

To prevent this from happening, we should keep A from being
deltified.  But how would we tell that, cheaply?

To do this most precisely, after check_object() runs, each
object that is used as the base object of some existing delta
needs to be marked with the maximum depth of the objects we
decided to keep deltified (in this case, D is depth 3 relative
to A, so if no other delta chain that is longer than 3 based on
A exists, mark A with 3).  Then when attempting to deltify A, we
would take that number into account to see if the final delta
chain that leads to D becomes too deep.

However, this is a bit cumbersome to compute, so we would cheat
and reduce the maximum depth for A arbitrarily to depth/4 in
this implementation.

a49dd05fd0 pack-objects: reuse data from existing packs.
When generating a new pack, notice if we have already needed
objects in existing packs.  If an object is stored deltified,
and its base object is also what we are going to pack, then
reuse the existing deltified representation unconditionally,
bypassing all the expensive find_deltas() and try_deltas()
calls.

Also, notice if what we are going to write out exactly match
what is already in an existing pack (either deltified or just
compressed).  In such a case, we can just copy it instead of
going through the usual uncompressing & recompressing cycle.

Gaah. It was trivial, and it happened to work fine for my test-case, but

So in case people want to try, here's a third patch. Oh, and it's against

Actually, I got interested in seeing how hard this is, and wrote a simple
first cut at doing a tree-optimized merger.

Let me shout a bit first:

  THIS IS WORKING CODE, BUT BE CAREFUL: IT'S A TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION
  RATHER THAN THE FINAL PRODUCT!

With that out of the way, let me descibe what this does (and then describe
the missing parts).

This is basically a three-way merge that works entirely on the "tree"
level, rather than on the index. A lot of the _concepts_ are the same,
though, and if you're familiar with the results of an index merge, some of
the output will make more sense.

You give it three trees: the base tree (tree 0), and the two branches to
be merged (tree 1 and tree 2 respectively). It will then walk these three
trees, and resolve them as it goes along.

The interesting part is:
 - it can resolve whole sub-directories in one go, without actually even
   looking recursively at them. A whole subdirectory will resolve the same
   way as any individual files will (although that may need some
   modification, see later).
 - if it has a "content conflict", for subdirectories that means "try to
   do a recursive tree merge", while for non-subdirectories it's just a
   content conflict and we'll output the stage 1/2/3 information.
 - a successful merge will output a single stage 0 ("merged") entry,
   potentially for a whole subdirectory.
 - it outputs all the resolve information on stdout, so something like the
   recursive resolver can pretty easily parse it all.

Now, the caveats:
 - we probably need to be more careful about subdirectory resolves. The
   trivial case (both branches have the exact same subdirectory) is a
   trivial resolve, but the other cases ("branch1 matches base, branch2 is
   different" probably can't be silently just resolved to the "branch2"
   subdirectory state, since it might involve renames into - or out of -
   that subdirectory)
 - we do not track the current index file at all, so this does not do the
   "check that index matches branch1" logic that the three-way merge in
   git-read-tree does. The theory is that we'd do a full three-way merge
   (ignoring the index and working directory), and then to update the
   working tree, we'd do a two-way "git-read-tree branch1->result"
 - I didn't actually make it do all the trivial resolve cases that
   git-read-tree does. It's a technology demonstration.

Finally (a more serious caveat):
 - doing things through stdout may end up being so expensive that we'd
   need to do something else. In particular, it's likely that I should
   not actually output the "merge results", but instead output a "merge
   results as they _differ_ from branch1"

However, I think this patch is already interesting enough that people who
are interested in merging trees might want to look at it. Please keep in
mind that tech _demo_ part, and in particular, keep in mind the final
"serious caveat" part.

In many ways, the really _interesting_ part of a merge is not the result,
but how it _changes_ the branch we're merging into. That's particularly
important as it should hopefully also mean that the output size for any
reasonable case is minimal (and tracks what we actually need to do to the
current state to create the final result).

The code very much is organized so that doing the result as a "diff
against branch1" should be quite easy/possible. I was actually going to do
it, but I decided that it probably makes the output harder to read. I
dunno.

Anyway, let's think about this kind of approach.. Note how the code itself
is actually quite small and short, although it's prbably pretty "dense".

As an interesting test-case, I'd suggest this merge in the kernel:

	git-merge-tree $(git-merge-base 4cbf876 7d2babc) 4cbf876 7d2babc

which resolves beautifully (there are no actual file-level conflicts), and
you can look at the output of that command to start thinking about what
it does.

The interesting part (perhaps) is that timing that command for me shows
that it takes all of 0.004 seconds.. (the git-merge-base thing takes
considerably more ;)

The point is, we _can_ do the actual merge part really really quickly.

PS. Final note: when I say that it is "WORKING CODE", that is obviously by
my standards. IOW, I tested it once and it gave reasonable results - so it
must be perfect.

Whether it works for anybody else, or indeed for any other test-case, is
not my problem ;)
