10f343ea81 archive: honor tar.umask even for pax headers
git archive's tar format uses extended pax headers to encode metadata
into the archive.  Most tar implementations correctly treat these as
metadata, but some that do not understand the pax format extract these
as files instead.  Apply the tar.umask setting to these entries to
prevent tampering by other users.

b9c7d6e433 pretty: make empty userformats truly empty
If the user provides an empty format with "--format=", we
end up putting in extra whitespace that the user cannot
prevent. This comes from two places:

  1. If the format is missing a terminating newline, we add
     one automatically. This makes sense for --format=%h, but
     not for a truly empty format.

  2. We add an extra newline between the pretty-printed
     format and a diff or diffstat. If the format is empty,
     there's no point in doing so if there's nothing to
     separate.

With this patch, one can get a diff with no other cruft out
of "diff-tree --format= $commit".

c75e7ad28a pretty: treat "--format=" as an empty userformat
Until now, we treated "--pretty=" or "--format=" as "give me
the default format". This was not planned nor documented,
but only what happened to work due to our parsing of
"--pretty" (which should give the default format).

Let's instead let these be an actual empty userformat.
Otherwise one must write out the annoyingly long
"--pretty=tformat:" to get the same behavior.

ae18165fbb revision: drop useless string offset when parsing "--pretty"
Once upon a time, we parsed pretty options by looking for
"--pretty" at the start of the string, and then feeding the
rest (including an "=") to get_commit_format. Later, commit
48ded91 (log --pretty: do not accept bogus "--prettyshort",
2008-05-25) split this into a separate check for "--pretty"
versus "--pretty=".

However, when parsing "--pretty", we still passed "arg+8" to
get_commit_format. This is useless, since it will always
point to the NUL terminator at the end of the string. We can
simply pass NULL instead; both parameters are treated the
same by get_commit_format.

d0da003d5b use a hashmap to make remotes faster
Remotes are stored as an array, so looking one up or adding one without
duplication is an O(n) operation.  Reading an entire config file full of
remotes is O(n^2) in the number of remotes.  For a repository with tens of
thousands of remotes, the running time can hit multiple minutes.

Hash tables are way faster.  So we add a hashmap from remote name to
struct remote and use it for all lookups.  The time to add a new remote to
a repo that already has 50,000 remotes drops from ~2 minutes to < 1
second.

We retain the old array of remotes so iterators proceed in config-file
order.

3c8687a73e add config_set API for caching config-like files
Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.

Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.

Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.

Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

b794ebeac9 diff-tree: avoid lookup_unknown_object
We generally want to avoid lookup_unknown_object, because it
results in allocating more memory for the object than may be
strictly necessary.

In this case, it is used to check whether we have an
already-parsed object before calling parse_object, to save
us from reading the object from disk. Using lookup_object
would be fine for that purpose, but we can take it a step
further. Since this code was written, parse_object already
learned the "check lookup_object" optimization, so we can
simply call parse_object directly.

34dfe197a9 object_as_type: set commit index
The point of the "index" field of struct commit is that
every allocated commit would have one. It is supposed to be
an invariant that whenever object->type is set to
OBJ_COMMIT, we have a unique index.

Commit 969eba6 (commit: push commit_index update into
alloc_commit_node, 2014-06-10) covered this case for
newly-allocated commits. However, we may also allocate an
"unknown" object via lookup_unknown_object, and only later
convert it to a commit. We must make sure that we set the
commit index when we switch the type field.

c4ad00f8cc add object_as_type helper for casting objects
When we call lookup_commit, lookup_tree, etc, the logic goes
something like:

  1. Look for an existing object struct. If we don't have
     one, allocate and return a new one.

  2. Double check that any object we have is the expected
     type (and complain and return NULL otherwise).

  3. Convert an object with type OBJ_NONE (from a prior
     call to lookup_unknown_object) to the expected type.

We can encapsulate steps 2 and 3 in a helper function which
checks whether we have the expected object type, converts
OBJ_NONE as appropriate, and returns the object.

Not only does this shorten the code, but it also provides
one central location for converting OBJ_NONE objects into
objects of other types. Future patches will use that to
enforce type-specific invariants.

Since this is a refactoring, we would want it to behave
exactly as the current code. It takes a little reasoning to
see that this is the case:

  - for lookup_{commit,tree,etc} functions, we are just
    pulling steps 2 and 3 into a function that does the same
    thing.

  - for the call in peel_object, we currently only do step 3
    (but we want to consolidate it with the others, as
    mentioned above). However, step 2 is a noop here, as the
    surrounding conditional makes sure we have OBJ_NONE
    (which we want to keep to avoid an extraneous call to
    sha1_object_info).

  - for the call in lookup_commit_reference_gently, we are
    currently doing step 2 but not step 3. However, step 3
    is a noop here. The object we got will have just come
    from deref_tag, which must have figured out the type for
    each object in order to know when to stop peeling.
    Therefore the type will never be OBJ_NONE.

fe24d396e1 move setting of object->type to alloc_* functions
The "struct object" type implements basic object
polymorphism.  Individual instances are allocated as
concrete types (or as a union type that can store any
object), and a "struct object *" can be cast into its real
type after examining its "type" enum.  This means it is
dangerous to have a type field that does not match the
allocation (e.g., setting the type field of a "struct blob"
to "OBJ_COMMIT" would mean that a reader might read past the
allocated memory).

In most of the current code this is not a problem; the first
thing we do after allocating an object is usually to set its
type field by passing it to create_object. However, the
virtual commits we create in merge-recursive.c do not ever
get their type set. This does not seem to have caused
problems in practice, though (presumably because we always
pass around a "struct commit" pointer and never even look at
the type).

We can fix this oversight and also make it harder for future
code to get it wrong by setting the type directly in the
object allocation functions.

This will also make it easier to fix problems with commit
index allocation, as we know that any object allocated by
alloc_commit_node will meet the invariant that an object
with an OBJ_COMMIT type field will have a unique index
number.

52604d7144 alloc: write out allocator definitions
Because the allocator functions for tree, blobs, etc are all
very similar, we originally used a macro to avoid repeating
ourselves. Since the prior commit, though, the heavy lifting
is done by an inline helper function.  The macro does still
save us a few lines, but at some readability cost.  It
obfuscates the function definitions (and makes them hard to
find via grep).

Much worse, though, is the fact that it isn't used
consistently for all allocators. Somebody coming later may
be tempted to modify DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, but they would miss
alloc_commit_node, which is treated specially.

Let's just drop the macro and write everything out
explicitly.

8c3f3f28cb alloc.c: remove the alloc_raw_commit_node() function
In order to encapsulate the setting of the unique commit index, commit
969eba63 ("commit: push commit_index update into alloc_commit_node",
10-06-2014) introduced a (logically private) intermediary allocator
function. However, this function (alloc_raw_commit_node()) was declared
as a public function, which undermines its entire purpose.

Introduce an inline function, alloc_node(), which implements the main
logic of the allocator used by DEFINE_ALLOCATOR, and redefine the macro
in terms of the new function. In addition, use the new function in the
implementation of the alloc_commit_node() allocator, rather than the
intermediary allocator, which can now be removed.

Noticed by sparse ("symbol 'alloc_raw_commit_node' was not declared.
Should it be static?").

8b27ff7eac commit: advertise config --global --edit on guessed identity
When the user has no user-wide configuration file, it's faster to use the
newly introduced config file template than to run two commands to set
user.name and user.email. Advise this to the user.

The old advice is kept if the user already has a configuration file since
the template feature would not trigger in this case.

06b2d87244 home_config_paths(): let the caller ignore xdg path
The caller can signal that it is not interested in learning
the location of $HOME/.gitconfig by passing global=NULL, but
there is no way to decline the path to the configuration
file based on $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

Allow the caller to pass xdg=NULL to signal that it is not
interested in the XDG location.

9830534e40 config --global --edit: create a template file if needed
When the user has no ~/.gitconfig file, git config --global --edit used
to launch an editor on an nonexistant file name.

Instead, create a file with a default content before launching the
editor. The template contains only commented-out entries, to save a few
keystrokes for the user. If the values are guessed properly, the user
will only have to uncomment the entries.

Advanced users teaching newbies can create a minimalistic configuration
faster for newbies. Beginners reading a tutorial advising to run "git
config --global --edit" as a first step will be slightly more guided for
their first contact with Git.
