693eb02a5e calloc() and xcalloc() takes nmemb and then size
There are a handful more instances of this in compat/regex/ but they
are borrowed code taht we do not want to touch with a change that
really affects correctness, which this change is not.

c40fdd01dd reachable.c: add HEAD to reachability starting commits
HEAD is not explicitly used as a starting commit for
calculating reachability, so if it's detached and reflogs
are disabled it may be pruned.

Add tests which demonstrate it. Test 'prune: prune former HEAD after checking
out branch' also reverts changes to repository.

4ed115e9c5 cache-tree: do not try to use an invalidated subtree info to build a tree
We punt from repairing the cache-tree during a branch switching if
it involves having to create a new tree object that does not yet
exist in the object store.  "mkdir dir && >dir/file && git add dir"
followed by "git checkout" is one example, when a tree that records
the state of such "dir/" is not in the object store.

However, after discovering that we do not have a tree object that
records the state of "dir/", the caller failed to remember the fact
that it noticed the cache-tree entry it received for "dir/" is
invalidated, it already knows it should not be populating the level
that has "dir/" as its immediate subdirectory, and it is not an
error at all for the sublevel cache-tree entry gave it a bogus
object name it shouldn't even look at.

This led the caller to detect and report a non-existent error.  The
end result was the same and we avoided stuffing a non-existent tree
to the cache-tree, but we shouldn't have issued an alarming error
message to the user.

ab5ac95725 update-ref --stdin: narrow scope of err strbuf
Making the strbuf local in each function that needs to print errors
saves the reader from having to think about action at a distance,
such as

 * errors piling up and being concatenated with no newline between
   them
 * errors unhandled in one function, to be later handled in another
 * concurrency issues, if this code starts using threads some day

No functional change intended.

04ad6223ec refs.c: remove the update_ref_write function
Since we only call update_ref_write from a single place and we only call it
with onerr==QUIET_ON_ERR we can just as well get rid of it and just call
write_ref_sha1 directly. This changes the return status for _commit from
1 to -1 on failures when writing to the ref. Eventually we will want
_commit to start returning more detailed error conditions than the current
simple success/failure.

b6b10bb44c walker.c: use ref transaction for ref updates
Switch to using ref transactions in walker_fetch(). As part of the refactoring
to use ref transactions we also fix a potential memory leak where in the
original code if write_ref_sha1() would fail we would end up returning from
the function without free()ing the msg string.

Note that this function is only called when fetching from a remote HTTP
repository onto the local (most of the time single-user) repository which
likely means that the type of collisions that the previous locking would
protect against and cause the fetch to fail for are even more rare.

6629ea2d4a receive-pack.c: use a reference transaction for updating the refs
Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction.

In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and
failure to write a ref.  Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref
"refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file
"refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and
there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so
replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with
a single status "failed to update ref".  In both cases a more
detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem.

Example, before:

 error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
 remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic
 To foo
  ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock)

After:

 error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic'
 remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'.
 To foo
  ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref)

Change create_branch to use a ref transaction when creating the new branch.

This also fixes a race condition in the old code where two concurrent
create_branch could race since the lock_any_ref_for_update/write_ref_sha1
did not protect against the ref already existing. I.e. one thread could end up
overwriting a branch even if the forcing flag is false.

For example, a hypothetical MySQL backend could fail in _begin with
"Can not connect to MySQL server. No route to host".

incorrectly set on Mingw git. However, the Makefile variable is not
propagated to the C preprocessor and results in no change. This patch
pushes the definition to the C code and adds a test to validate that
when core.eol as native is crlf, we actually normalize text files to
this line ending convention when core.autocrlf is false.

Both callers of check_ref() pass in NUL-terminated strings for name.
Remove the len parameter and then use skip_prefix() and starts_with()
instead of memcmp() to check if it starts with certain strings.  This
gets rid of several magic string length constants and a strlen() call.

ab791dd138 index-pack: fix race condition with duplicate bases
When we are resolving deltas in an indexed pack, we do it by
first selecting a potential base (either one stored in full
in the pack, or one created by resolving another delta), and
then resolving any deltas that use that base.  When we
resolve a particular delta, we flip its "real_type" field
from OBJ_{REF,OFS}_DELTA to whatever the real type is.

We assume that traversing the objects this way will visit
each delta only once. This is correct for most packs; we
visit the delta only when we process its base, and each
object (and thus each base) appears only once. However, if a
base object appears multiple times in the pack, we will try
to resolve any deltas based on it once for each instance.

We can detect this case by noting that a delta we are about
to resolve has already had its real_type field flipped, and
we already do so with an assert().  However, if multiple
threads are in use, we may race with another thread on
comparing and flipping the field. We need to synchronize the
access.

The right mechanism for doing this is a compare-and-swap (we
atomically "claim" the delta for our own and find out
whether our claim was successful). We can implement this
in C by using a pthread mutex to protect the operation. This
is not the fastest way of doing a compare-and-swap; many
processors provide instructions for this, and gcc and other
compilers provide builtins to access them. However, some
experiments showed that lock contention does not cause a
significant slowdown here. Adding c-a-s support for many
compilers would increase the maintenance burden (and we
would still end up including the pthread version as a
fallback).

Note that we only need to touch the OBJ_REF_DELTA codepath
here. An OBJ_OFS_DELTA object points to its base using an
offset, and therefore has only one base, even if another
copy of that base object appears in the pack (we do still
touch it briefly because the setting of real_type is
factored out of resolve_data).

466fb6742d pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date format
Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.

The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:

  - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
  - a space between time and time zone
  - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone

Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates.  Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/255879 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/52414/focus=52585

The Makefile has provisions for this case, so let's detect it in the
configure script as well.
