2af202be3d Fix various sparse warnings in the git source code
There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:

 - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

   Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
   reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
   pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
   historical accident and not very pretty.

   A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
   I didn't touch those.

 - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?

   Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
   of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
   should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.

   A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
   be made static.

That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

73bb33a94e daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command
Since 1.4.4.5 (49ba83fb67 "Add virtualization support to git-daemon")
git daemon enters an infinite loop and never terminates if a client
hides any extra arguments in the initial request line which is not
exactly "\0host=blah\0".

Since that change, a client must never insert additional extra
arguments, or attempt to use any argument other than "host=", as
any daemon will get stuck parsing the request line and will never
complete the request.

Since the client can't tell if the daemon is patched or not, it
is not possible to know if additional extra args might actually be
able to be safely requested.

If we ever need to extend the git daemon protocol to support a new
feature, we may have to do something like this to the exchange:

  # If both support git:// v2
  #
  C: 000cgit://v2
  S: 0010ok host user
  C: 0018host git.kernel.org
  C: 0027git-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git
  S: ...git-upload-pack header...

  # If client supports git:// v2, server does not:
  #
  C: 000cgit://v2
  S: <EOF>

  C: 003bgit-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git\0host=git.kernel.org\0
  S: ...git-upload-pack header...

This requires the client to create two TCP connections to talk to
an older git daemon, however all daemons since the introduction of
daemon.c will safely reject the unknown "git://v2" command request,
so the client can quite easily determine the server supports an
older protocol.

3e8a00ae1d daemon.c: fix segfault on OS X
On OS X (and maybe other unices), getaddrinfo(3) returns NULL
in the ai_canonname field if it's called with an IP address for
the hostname. We'll now use the IP address for the hostname if
ai_canonname was NULL, this also matches the behaviour on Linux.

steps to reproduce:
$ git daemon --export-all
$ git clone git://127.0.0.1/frotz
=> git daemon's fork (silently) segfaults.

Remove the pointless loop while at it. There is only one iteration
because of the break; on the last line and there are no continues.

05ac6b34e2 improve missing repository error message
Certain remote commands, when asked to do something in a
particular directory that was not actually a git repository,
would say "unable to chdir or not a git archive". The
"chdir" bit is an unnecessary detail, and the term "git

So let's switch them all to:

48196afd28 daemon.c: avoid setlinebuf()
This function is outside POSIX (Linux and recent BSD have it).  Replace it
with setvbuf() which is POSIX.

I am not sure about the value this patch passes as size argument to
setvbuf(), though.  I know the call this patch makes is equivalent to
calling setlinebuf() with GNU libc, but POSIX itself leaves what happens
to the size argument quite vague, saying only "otherwise [i.e. when buf is
a null pointer], size _may_ determine the size of a buffer allocated by
the setvbuf() function."  If passing size=0 causes stdio to allocate very
small buffer, and while stdio tries to line buffer the output, it might
make it to fail to buffer an entire line, causing early flushing of the
stream.

Even if that turns out to be a problem on minorority platforms, we won't
know it until the issue actually hurts them, so let's push this change out
and see what happens.

695605b508 git-daemon: Simplify dead-children reaping logic
Move almost all code out of the child_handler() into check_dead_children().
The fact that systemcalls get interrupted by signals allows us to
make the SIGCHLD signal handler almost a no-op by simply running
check_dead_children() right before waiting on poll().

In case some systems do not interrupt systemcalls upon signal receipt,
all zombies will eventually be collected before the next poll() cycle.

dd4676299d Cleaned up git-daemon virtual hosting support.
Standardized on lowercase hostnames from client.

Added interpolation values for the IP address, port and
canonical hostname of the server as it is contacted and
named by the client and passed in via the extended args.

Added --listen=host_or_ipaddr option suport.  Renamed port
variable as "listen_port" correspondingly as well.

Documented mutual exclusivity of --inetd option with
    --user, --group, --listen and --port options.

Added compat/inet_pton.c from Paul Vixie as needed.

Small memory leaks need to be cleaned up still.

39345a216f Add git-upload-archive
This command implements the git archive protocol on the server
side. This command is not intended to be used by the end user.
Underlying git-archive command line options are sent over the
protocol from "git-archive --remote=...", just like upload-tar
currently does with "git-tar-tree=...".

As for "git-archive" command implementation, this new command
does not execute any existing "git-{tar,zip}-tree" but rely
on the archive API defined by "git-archive" patch. Hence we
get 2 good points:

 - "git-archive" and "git-upload-archive" share all option
   parsing code.

 - All kind of git-upload-{tar,zip} can be deprecated.
