This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

The http commit walker cannot use the same temporary file
creation code because it needs to use predictable temporary

to move the temporary file to the final location should be
usable from the ordinary object creation codepath.
Export move_temp_to_file from sha1_file.c and use it, while

This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.
The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:
#
# This is the config file, and
# a '#' or ';' character indicates
# a comment
#
; core variables
[core]
; Don't trust file modes
filemode = false
; Our diff algorithm
[diff]
external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
renames = true
which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.
Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.
Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

Right now we don't return any error value at all from parse_date(), and if

error message rather than just the default date.
So let's change the thing to return a negative value if an error occurs,
and the length of the result otherwise (snprintf behaviour: if the buffer
is too small, it returns how big it _would_ have been).

This allows git-send-pack to push local refs to a destination
repository under different names.
Here is the name mapping rules for refs.
* If there is no ref mapping on the command line:
- if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying
<local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the
command line
- otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for
all the refs that exist on both sides.
* <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name>
* <src> ":" <dst>
push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
For example,
- "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before;
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master
to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such
ref, it is an error.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes
local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when
refs/heads/upstream does not exist.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote
repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote
ref/heads/master.

The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.

It's not working yet, but it's at the point where I want to be able to
track my changes. The theory of operation is that this is the "remote"
side of a "git push". It can tell us what references the remote side
has, receives out reference update commands and a pack-file, and can
execute the unpacking command.
Given a list of <pack>.idx files, this command validates the
index file and the corresponding .pack file for consistency.
This patch also uses the same validation mechanism in fsck-cache
when the --full flag is used.
During normal operation, sha1_file.c verifies that a given .idx
file matches the .pack file by comparing the SHA1 checksum
stored in .idx file and .pack file as a minimum sanity check.
We may further want to check the pack signature and version when
we map the pack, but that would be a separate patch.

Make a separate helper for parsing the header of an object file
(really carefully) and for unpacking the rest. This means that
anybody who uses the "unpack_sha1_header()" interface can easily
look at the header and decide to unpack the rest too, without
doing any extra work.
It's for people who aren't necessarily interested in the whole
unpacked file, but do want to know the header information (size,
type, etc..)
For example, the delta code can use this to figure out whether
an object is already a delta object, and what it is a delta
against, without actually bothering to unpack all of the actual
data in the delta.
Add <limits.h> to the include files handled by "cache.h", and remove

"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system

This one compares two pathnames that may be partial basenames, not
full paths. We need to get the path sorting right, since a directory
name will sort as if it had the final '/' at the end.

variable, from which the defaults for GIT_INDEX_FILE and

H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is
what this patch does:
* Renames the following environment variables:
New name Old Name
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY
* Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
using an old name.
* Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
environment variable with the new name using gitenv().
* Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
distribution.
The transition plan is as follows:
* We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
for now, so the current scripts and user environments
continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when
they have old name but not new name in their environment to
the stderr.
* The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However,
just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
implementation, they should also export old names, taking
values from the corresponding new names, during the
transition period.
* After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly
call getenv() but keep using the new names.
The last part is probably optional and the transition
duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES environment variable is a colon separated paths
used when looking for SHA1 files not found in the usual place for
reading. Creating a new SHA1 file does not use this alternate object
database location mechanism. This is useful to archive older, rarely
used objects into separate directories.

It didn't properly mark all cache updates as being dirty, and
causes merge errors due to that. In particular, it didn't notice
when a file was force-removed.
Besides, it was ugly as hell. I've put in place a slightly cleaner
version, but I've not enabled the optimization because I don't
want to be burned again.
Allow to store and track symlink in the repository. A symlink is stored
the same way as a regular file, only with the appropriate mode bits set.
The symlink target is therefore stored in a blob object.
This will hopefully make our udev repository fully functional. :)

Make it much safer: we write to a temporary file, and then link that
temporary file to the final destination. This avoids all the nasty
races if several people write the same object at the same time.
It should also result in nicer on-disk layout, since it means that
objects all get created in the same subdirectory. That makes a lot
of block allocation algorithms happier, since the objects will now
be allocated from the same zone.
A new command, git-write-blob, is introduced. This registers
the contents of any file on the filesystem as a blob in the
object database and reports its SHA1 to the standard output.
To implement it, the patch promotes index_fd() from a static
function in update-cache.c to extern and moves it to a library
source, sha1_file.c.
This command is used to update git-merge-one-file-script so that
it does not smudge the work tree.

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
...since everything out there is either strange (libc mktime has issues
with timezones) or introduces unnecessary dependencies for people (libcurl).
This goes back to the old date parsing, but moves it out into a file of
its own, and does the "struct tm" to "seconds since epoch" handling by
hand.
I grepped through the tz-database and it seems there's one "country"
left that has non-60-minute DST: Lord Howe Island. All others dropped
that before 1970.
This patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
ls-tree $tag
read-tree -m $(merge-base $tag $HEAD) $tag $HEAD
diff-cache $tag
diff-tree $tag $HEAD

This adds two functions: one to check if an object is present in the local
database, and one to add an object to the local database by reading it
from a file descriptor and checking its hash.

This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be
correct too.
Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just
read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the
resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were
all getting to.
This one includes the Mozilla SHA1 implementation sent in by Edgar Toernig.
It's dual-licenced under MPL-1.1 or GPL, so in the context of git, we
obviously use the GPL version.
Side note: the Mozilla SHA1 implementation is about twice as fast as the
default openssl one on my G5, but the default openssl one has optimized
x86 assembly language on x86. So choose wisely.
We use that to specify alternative index files, which can be useful
if you want to (for example) generate a temporary index file to do
some specific operation that you don't want to mess with your main
one with.
It defaults to the regular ".git/index" if it hasn't been specified.
This patch implements read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1(),
which can be used when you are interested in reading an unpacked
raw tree data but you do not know nor care if the SHA1 you
obtained your user is a tree ID or a commit ID. Before this
function's introduction, you would have called read_sha1_file(),
examined its type, parsed it to call read_sha1_file() again if
it is a commit, and verified that the resulting object is a
tree. Instead, this function does that for you. It returns
NULL if the given SHA1 is not either a tree or a commit.

The ce_namelen field has been renamed to ce_flags and split into
the top 2-bit unused, next 2-bit stage number and the lowest
12-bit name-length, stored in the network byte order. A new
macro create_ce_flags() is defined to synthesize this value from
length and stage, but it forgets to turn the value into the
network byte order. Here is a fix.

This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).
Now there is error() for "library" errors and die() for fatal "application"
errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors.

It now requires the "--add" flag before you add any new files, and
a "--remove" file if you want to mark files for removal. And giving
it the "--refresh" flag makes it just update all the files that it
already knows about.
It's got some debugging printouts etc still in it, but testing on the
kernel seems to show that it does indeed fix the issue with huge tree
files for each commit.
It finds the cache entry position for a given name, and is
generally useful. Sure, everybody can just scan the active
cache array, but since it's sorted, you actually want to
search it with a binary search, so let's not duplicate that
logic all over the place.
Patches from Dave Jones and Ingo Molnar, but since I don't have any
infrastructure in place to use the old patch applicator scripts I
am trying to build up, I ended up fixing the thing by hand instead.
Credit where credit is due, though. Nice to see that people are
taking a look at the project even in this early stage.
