13d6ec9133 read_gitfile_gently(): rename misnamed function to read_gitfile()
The function was not gentle at all to the callers and died without giving
them a chance to deal with possible errors. Rename it to read_gitfile(),
and update all the callers.

As no existing caller needs a true "gently" variant, we do not bother
adding one at this point.

e1111cef23 inline lookup_replace_object() calls
In a repository without object replacement, lookup_replace_object() should
be a no-op. Check the flag "read_replace_refs" on the side of the caller,
and bypess a function call when we know we are not dealing with replacement.

Also, even when we are set up to replace objects, if we do not find any
replacement defined, flip that flag off to avoid function call overhead
for all the later object accesses.

As this change the semantics of the flag from "do we need read the
replacement definition?" to "do we need to check with the lookup table?"
the flag needs to be renamed later to something saner, e.g. "use_replace",
when the codebase is calmer, but not now.

ec70f52f6f convert: rename the "eol" global variable to "core_eol"
Yes, it is clear that "eol" wants to mean some sort of end-of-line thing,
but as the name of a global variable, it is way too short to describe what
kind of end-of-line thing it wants to represent. Besides, there are many
codepaths that want to use their own local "char *eol" variable to point
at the end of the current line they are processing.

This global variable holds what we read from core.eol configuration
variable. Name it as such.

make_nonrelative_path is by renaming them real_path and absolute_path

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.

e6aea2dba2 setup: limit get_git_work_tree()'s to explicit setup case only
get_git_work_tree() takes input as core.worktree, core.bare,
GIT_WORK_TREE and decides correct worktree setting.

Unfortunately it does not do its job well. core.worktree and
GIT_WORK_TREE should only be taken into account, if GIT_DIR is set
(which is handled by setup_explicit_git_dir). For other setup cases,
only core.bare matters.

Add a temporary variable setup_explicit to adjust get_git_work_tree()
behavior as such. This variable will be gone once setup_* rework is
done.

Also remove is_bare_repository_cfg check in set_git_work_tree() to
ease the rework. We are going to check for core.bare and core.worktree
early before setting worktree. For example, if core.bare is true, no
need to set worktree.

15431ca651 setup: make sure git_dir path is in a permanent buffer, getenv(3) case
getenv(3) returns not-permanent buffer which may be changed by e.g.
putenv(3) call (*).

In practice I've noticed this when trying to do `git commit -m abc`
inside msysgit under wine, getting

    $ git commit -m abc
    fatal: could not open 'DIR=.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG': No such file or directory
                           ^^^^
    (notice introduced 'DIR=' artifact.)

The problem was showing itself only with -m option, and actually, as
debugging showed, originally

    git_dir = getenv("GIT_DIR")

returned pointer to

        "GIT_DIR=.git\0"
                 ^
               git_dir

, we stored it in git_dir, than, after processing -m git-commit option,
we did setenv("GIT_EDITOR", ":") which as (*) says changed environment
variables memory layout - something like this

       "...\0GIT_DIR=.git\0"
                 ^
               git_dir

and oops - we got wrong git_dir.

Avoid that by strdupping getenv("GIT_DIR") result like we did in 06f354
(setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer). Unfortunately
this also shows that other getenv usage inside git needs auditing...

(*) from man 3 getenv:

       The implementation of getenv() is not required to  be  reentrant.   The
       string  pointed  to  by  the return value of getenv() may be statically
       allocated, and can be  modified  by  a  subsequent  call  to  getenv(),
       putenv(3), setenv(3), or unsetenv(3).

The odb_mkstemp and odb_pack_keep functions open files under the
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY directory.  This requires access to the git
configuration which very simple programs do not need.

Move these functions to environment.o, closer to their dependencies.
This should make it easier for programs to link to wrapper.o without
linking to environment.o.

72a5b561fc core.abbrevguard: Ensure short object names stay unique a bit longer
Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show an
abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are added to the
repository over time, a short name that used to be unique will stop being
unique.  Git uses this many extra hexdigits that are more than necessary
to make the object name currently unique, in the hope that its output will
stay unique a bit longer.

06f3549d71 setup: make sure git dir path is in a permanent buffer
If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text

	gitdir: <path>

(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().

Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls.  Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.

It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.

e37c1329fa git wrapper: introduce startup_info struct
The startup_info struct will collect information managed by the git
setup code, such as the prefix for relative paths passed on the
command line (i.e., path to the starting cwd from the toplevel of
the work tree) and whether a git repository has been found.

In other words, startup_info is intended to be a collection of global
variables with results that were previously returned from setup
functions.  This state is global anyway (since the cwd is), even
if it is not currently tracked that way.  Letting these values persist
means there is more flexibility in deciding when to run setup.

For now, the struct is empty.

Add a new attribute "eol" with possible values "crlf" and "lf".  When

LF line endings in the working directory, respectively.

The line ending style to be used for normalized text files in the

"true", CRLFs are used in the working directory; when set to "input" or

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

7f3140cd23 git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.

So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.

As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

bba0fd22ad push: do not give big warning when no preference is configured
If the message said "we will be changing the default in the future, so
this is to warn people who want to keep the current default what to do",
it would have made some sense, but as it stands, the message is merely an
unsolicited advertisement for a new feature, which it is not helpful at
all.  Squelch it.

dae556bdb1 environment: add global variable to disable replacement
This new "read_replace_refs" global variable is set to 1 by
default, so that replace refs are used by default. But
reachability traversal and packing commands ("cmd_fsck",
"cmd_prune", "cmd_pack_objects", "upload_pack",
"cmd_unpack_objects") set it to 0, as they must work with the
original DAG.

348df16679 Rename core.unreliableHardlinks to core.createObject
"Unreliable hardlinks" is a misleading description for what is happening.
So rename it to something less misleading.

be66a6c43d Add an option not to use link(src, dest) && unlink(src) when that is unreliable
It seems that accessing NTFS partitions with ufsd (at least on my EeePC)
has an unnerving bug: if you link() a file and unlink() it right away,
the target of the link() will have the correct size, but consist of NULs.

It seems as if the calls are simply not serialized correctly, as single-stepping
through the function move_temp_to_file() works flawlessly.

As ufsd is "Commertial software" (sic!), I cannot fix it, and have to work
around it in Git.

At the same time, it seems that this fixes msysGit issues 222 and 229 to
assume that Windows cannot handle link() && unlink().

521537476f New config push.default to decide default behavior for push
When "git push" is not told what refspecs to push, it pushes all matching
branches to the current remote.  For some workflows this default is not
useful, and surprises new users.  Some have even found that this default
behaviour is too easy to trigger by accident with unwanted consequences.

Introduce a new configuration variable "push.default" that decides what
action git push should take if no refspecs are given or implied by the
command line arguments or the current remote configuration.

Possible values are:

  'nothing'  : Push nothing;
  'matching' : Current default behaviour, push all branches that already
               exist in the current remote;
  'tracking' : Push the current branch to whatever it is tracking;
  'current'  : Push the current branch to a branch of the same name,
               i.e. HEAD.

879ef2485d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

671c9b7e31 Add cache preload facility
This can do the lstat() storm in parallel, giving potentially much
improved performance for cold-cache cases or things like NFS that have
weak metadata caching.

Just use "read_cache_preload()" instead of "read_cache()" to force an
optimistic preload of the index stat data.  The function takes a
pathspec as its argument, allowing us to preload only the relevant
portion of the index.
