63de84ad60 svn: Honor --prefix option in init without --stdlayout
Most users who type

  git svn init file:///tmp/repo --prefix=my-svn/

would expect the root of the svn repository to be tracked by
refs/remotes/my-svn/git-svn.

f0e588dffc git-instaweb: fix mod_perl detection for apache2
The script was looking for something that matched the '^our $gitbin'
regex, which no longer exists in gitweb.cgi.

Now it looks for 'MOD_PERL', which should be on the line that checks
to see if the script is running in a mod_perl environment.

Add an example to the stash documentation that shows how to quickly

Unless you have merges of branch names containing WIP, or edit your

69a8b7c741 merge: indicate remote tracking branches in merge message
Previously when merging directly from a local tracking
branch like:

  git merge origin/master

The merge message said:

   Merge commit 'origin/master'

     * commit 'origin/master':
       ...

Instead, let's be more explicit about what we are merging:

   Merge remote branch 'origin/master'

     * origin/master:
       ...

We accomplish this by recognizing remote tracking branches
in git-merge when we build the simulated FETCH_HEAD output
that we feed to fmt-merge-msg.

In addition to a new test in t7608, we have to tweak the
expected output of t3409, which does such a merge.

751c59746c merge: fix incorrect merge message for ambiguous tag/branch
If we have both a tag and a branch named "foo", then calling
"git merge foo" will warn about the ambiguous ref, but merge
the tag.

When generating the commit message, though, we simply
checked whether "refs/heads/foo" existed, and if it did,
assumed it was a branch. This led to the statement "Merge
branch 'foo'" in the commit message, which is quite wrong.

Instead, we should use dwim_ref to find the actual ref used,
and describe it appropriately.

In addition to the test in t7608, we must also tweak the
expected output of t4202, which was accidentally triggering
this bug.

f423ef5f2b tests: allow user to specify trash directory location
The tests generate a large amount of I/O activity creating
and destroying repositories and files. We can improve the
time it takes to run the test suite by creating trash
directories on filesystems with better performance
characteristic, even though we may not want the rest of the
git repository on those filesystems (e.g., because they are
not network connected, or because they are temporary
ramdisks).

For example, on a dual processor system:

  $ cd t && time make -j32
  real    1m51.562s
  user    0m59.260s
  sys     1m20.933s

  # /dev/shm is tmpfs
  $ cd t && time make -j32 GIT_TEST_OPTS="--root=/dev/shm"
  real    1m1.484s
  user    0m53.555s
  sys     1m5.264s

We almost halve the wall clock time, and we utilize the
dual processors much better.

91c8b825ce tests: provide $TRASH_DIRECTORY variable
Most scripts don't care about the absolute path to the trash
directory. The one exception was t4014 script, which pieced
together $TEST_DIRECTORY and $test itself to get an absolute

Instead, let's provide a $TRASH_DIRECTORY which specifies
the same thing. This keeps the $test variable internal to
test-lib.sh and paves the way for trash directories in other
locations.

notice? I outperform all the hand-tuned asm on 32-bit too. By quite a
margin, in fact.

Now, I didn't try a P4, and it's possible that it won't do that there, but
the 32-bit code generation sure looks impressive on my Nehalem box. The
magic? I force the stores to the 512-bit hash bucket to be done in order.
That seems to help a lot.

The diff is trivial (on top of the "rename registers with cpp" patch), as
appended. And it does seem to fix the P4 issues too, although I can
obviously (once again) only test Prescott, and only in 64-bit mode:

	#             TIME[s] SPEED[MB/s]
	rfc3174         1.662       36.73

	mozilla        0.9704        62.9
	mozillaas      0.9399       64.94

that's some really impressive improvement. All from just saying "do the
stores in the order I told you to, dammit!" to the compiler.

262b04fa8d verify-pack -v: do not report "chain length 0"
When making a histogram of delta chain length in the pack, the program
collects number of objects whose delta depth exceeds the MAX_CHAIN limit
in histogram[0], and showed it as the number of items that exceeds the
limit correctly.  HOWEVER, it also showed the same number labeled as
"chain length = 0".

In fact, we are not showing the number of objects whose chain length is
zero, i.e. the base objects.  Correct this.

4d4d5726ae status: show worktree status of conflicted paths separately
When a path is unmerged in the index, we used to always say "unmerged" in
the "Changed but not updated" section, even when the path was deleted in
the work tree.

Remove unmerged entries from the "Updated" section, and create a new
section "Unmerged paths".  Describe how the different stages conflict
in more detail in this new section.

Note that with the current 3-way merge policy (with or without recursive),
certain combinations of index stages should never happen.  For example,
having only stage #2 means that a path that did not exist in the common
ancestor was added by us while the other branch did not do anything to it,
which would have autoresolved to take our addition.  The code nevertheless
prepares for the possibility that future merge policies may leave a path
in such a state.

0fcb2caf29 am: allow individual e-mail files as input
We traditionally allowed a mbox file or a directory name of a maildir (but
never an individual file inside a maildir) to be given to "git am".  Even
though an individual file in a maildir (or more generally, a piece of
RFC2822 e-mail) is not a mbox file, it contains enough information to
create a commit out of it, so there is no reason to reject one.  Running
mailsplit on such a file feels stupid, but it does not hurt.

This builds on top of a5a6755 (git-am foreign patch support: introduce
patch_format, 2009-05-27) that introduced mailbox format detection.  The
codepath to deal with a mbox requires it to begin with "From " line and
also allows it to begin with "From: ", but a random piece of e-mail can
and often do begin with any valid RFC2822 header lines.

Instead of checking the first line, we extract all the lines up to the
first empty line, and make sure they look like e-mail headers.

A test is added to t4150 to demonstrate this feature.

cbdefb5ac4 gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshots
The XZ compression format uses the LZMA2 compression algorithm, which
often yields higher compression ratios than both GZip and BZip2 at the
cost of using more CPU time and RAM. XZ is the slowest for compression,
but still much faster than BZip2 for decompression, almost comparable
to GZip (see benchmarks below).

Some simple benchmarks show the pros and cons of using XZ compression;
starting with an already tarball'd archive of the repos listed below.
Memory usage seemed to be consistent for any given algorithm at their
respective default compression levels.

From a time and memory perspective, nothing compares to GZip, but if
given an average upload speed of 20KB/s, it would take ~400 seconds
longer to transfer the BZip2'd kernel snapshot than the XZ snapshot;
the transfer time difference is even greater between GZip and XZ. The
real time savings are relatively the same for all test cases, but less
dramatic for smaller repositories.

XZ decompresses ~1.8-2 times slower than GZip, and ~2.7-3.75 times
faster than BZip2; XZ gets relatively faster as snapshots get larger.
However, XZ takes relatively longer to compress as snapshots get larger.

The downside for XZ'd snapshots is the large CPU and memory load put on
the server to generate the compressed snapshot, though XZ will
eventually
have threading support, and the real clock time for making XZ'd
snapshots
would decrease if the server had a beefy multi-core CPU.

XZ compression is disabled by default to allow upgrades to take place
without any surprises, as the CPU and memory requirements will be an
issue for high load or lightweight servers. Also, the XZ format is still
new (format declared stable ~6 months ago), and there have been no
"stable" releases of the utils yet.

e869e113c8 block-sha1: Use '(B&C)+(D&(B^C))' instead of '(B&C)|(D&(B|C))' in round 3
It's an equivalent expression, but the '+' gives us some freedom in
instruction selection (for example, we can use 'lea' rather than 'add'),
and associates with the other additions around it to give some minor
scheduling freedom.

Avoid repeating the shared parts of the different rounds by adding a
macro layer or two. It was already more cpp than C.

7b5075fcfb block-sha1: re-use the temporary array as we calculate the SHA1
The mozilla-SHA1 code did this 80-word array for the 80 iterations.  But
the SHA1 state is really just 512 bits, and you can actually keep it in
a kind of "circular queue" of just 16 words instead.

This requires us to do the xor updates as we go along (rather than as a
pre-phase), but that's really what we want to do anyway.

This gets me really close to the OpenSSL performance on my Nehalem.
Look ma, all C code (ok, there's the rol/ror hack, but that one doesn't
strictly even matter on my Nehalem, it's just a local optimization).

139e3456ec block-sha1: make the 'ntohl()' part of the first SHA1 loop
This helps a teeny bit.  But what I -really- want to do is to avoid the
whole 80-array loop, and do the xor updates as I go along..

b8e48a89b8 block-sha1: try to use rol/ror appropriately
Use the one with the smaller constant.  It _can_ generate slightly
smaller code (a constant of 1 is special), but perhaps more importantly
it's possibly faster on any uarch that does a rotate with a loop.

d68dc34cb4 git-describe: Die early if there are no possible descriptions
If we find no refs that may be used for git-describe with the current
options, then die early instead of pointlessly walking the whole
history.

In git.git with all the tags dropped, this makes "git describe" go down
from 0.244 to 0.003 seconds for me. This is especially noticeable with
"git submodule status" which calls describe with increasing levels of
allowed refs to be matched. For a submodule without tags, this means
that it walks the whole history in the submodule twice (first annotated,
then plain tags), just to find out that it can't describe the commit
anyway.

4cfbe06fc7 rebase: consistent error messages for staged and unstaged changes.
Previous version expose the output of the plumbing update-index to the
user, which novice users have difficulty to understand.

We still need to run update-index to refresh the cache (if
diff.autorefreshindex is false, git diff won't do it).

1a3d834f06 git-rev-list.txt: Clarify the use of multiple revision arguments
If one thinks of a revision as the set of commits which can be reached
from the rev, and of ^rev as the complement, then multiple arguments to
git rev-list can be neither understood as the intersection nor the union
of the individual sets.

But set language is the natural as well as logical language in which to
phrase this. So, add a paragraph which explains multiple arguments using
set language.

5749b0b2f9 don't let the delta cache grow unbounded in 'git repack'
I have 4GB of RAM on my system which should, in theory, be quite enough
to repack a 600 MB repository.  However the unbounded delta cache size
always pushes it into swap, at which point everything virtually comes to
a halt.  So unbounded caches are never a good idea.

A default of 256MB should be a good compromize between memory usage and
speed where medium sized repositories are still likely to fit in the
cache with a reasonable memory usage, and larger repositories are going
to take quite some time to repack already anyway.

While at it, clarify the associated config variable documentation
entries a bit.
