9f36c9b7f7 lookup_object: remove hashtable_index() and optimize hash_obj()
hashtable_index() appears to be a close duplicate of hash_obj().
Keep only the later and make it usable for all cases.

Also remove the modulus as this is an expensive operation.
The size argument is always a power of 2 anyway, so a simple
mask operation provides the same result.

On a 'git rev-list --all --objects' run this decreased the time spent
in lookup_object from 27.5% to 24.1%.

bb58b696c6 Improve documentation concerning the status.submodulesummary setting
'git status' and 'git commit' can be told to also show the output of "git
submodule summary" by setting the "status.submodulesummary" config option.
But status and commit also honor the "diff.ignoreSubmodules" and the
"submodule.<name>.ignore" settings, which then disable the summary partly
or completely. This - and the fact that the last two settings do not
affect the "git submodule" commands at all - is not well documented.

Extend the documentation in those places where "status.submodulesummary",
"diff.ignoreSubmodules" and "submodule.<name>.ignore" are described to
better explain these dependencies.

a2374f58e8 MSVC: fix stat definition hell
In msvc.h, there's a couple of stat related functions defined diffently
from mingw.h. When we remove these definitions, the only problem we get is
"warning C4005: '_stati64' : macro redefinition" for this line in mingw.h:

#define _stati64(x,y) mingw_stat(x,y)

The reason is that as of MSVCR80.dll (distributed with MSVC 2005), the
original _stati64 family of functions was renamed to _stat32i64, and the
former function names became macros (pointing to the appropriate function
based on the definition of _USE_32BIT_TIME_T).

Defining _stati64 works on MinGW because MinGW by default compiles against
the MSVCRT.DLL that is part of Windows (i.e. _stati64 is a function rather
than a macro).

Note: MinGW *can* compile for newer MSVC runtime versions, and MSVC
apparently can also compile for the Windows MSVCRT.DLL via the DDK (see
http://www.syndicateofideas.com/posts/fighting-the-msvcrt-dll-hell ).

Remove the stat definitions from msvc.h, as they are not compiler related.

In mingw.h, determine the runtime version in use from the definitions of
_stati64 and _USE_32BIT_TIME_T, and define stat() accordingly.

This also fixes that stat() in MSVC builds still resolves to mingw_lstat()
instead of mingw_stat().

1b48d56cfb cvsserver: pick up the right mode bits
When determining the file mode from either ls-tree or diff-tree
output, we used to grab these octal mode string (typically 100644 or
100755) and then did

	$git_perms .= "r" if ( $mode & 4 );
	$git_perms .= "w" if ( $mode & 2 );
	$git_perms .= "x" if ( $mode & 1 );

which was already wrong, as (100644 & 4) is very different from
oct("100644") & 4.  An earlier refactoring 2c3af7e7 (cvsserver:
factor out git-log parsing logic, 2012-10-13) further changed it to
pick the third octal digit (10*0*644 or 10*0*755) from the left and
then do the above conversion, which does not make sense, either.

Let's use the third digit from the last of the octal mode string to
make sure we get the executable and read bits right.

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",
by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since
the new history to replace it was prepared.

The machinery is more or less ready.  The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).

The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily).  It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

115dedd722 upload-pack: bump keepalive default to 5 seconds
There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.

We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

05e95155a1 upload-pack: send keepalive packets during pack computation
When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.

This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

0016024277 git-config: always treat --int as 64-bit internally
When you run "git config --int", the maximum size of integer
you get depends on how git was compiled, and what it
considers to be an "int".

This is almost useful, because your scripts calling "git
config" will behave similarly to git internally. But relying
on this is dubious; you have to actually know how git treats
each value internally (e.g., int versus unsigned long),
which is not documented and is subject to change. And even
if you know it is "unsigned long", we do not have a
git-config option to match that behavior.

Furthermore, you may simply be asking git to store a value
on your behalf (e.g., configuration for a hook). In that
case, the relevant range check has nothing at all to do with
git, but rather with whatever scripting tools you are using
(and git has no way of knowing what the appropriate range is
there).

Not only is the range check useless, but it is actively
harmful, as there is no way at all for scripts to look
at config variables with large values. For instance, one
cannot reliably get the value of pack.packSizeLimit via
git-config. On an LP64 system, git happily uses a 64-bit
"unsigned long" internally to represent the value, but the
script cannot read any value over 2G.

Ideally, the "--int" option would simply represent an
arbitrarily large integer. For practical purposes, however,
a 64-bit integer is large enough, and is much easier to
implement (and if somebody overflows it, we will still
notice the problem, and not simply return garbage).

2f666581bb config: make numeric parsing errors more clear
If we try to parse an integer config argument and get a
number outside of the representable range, we die with the
cryptic message: "bad config value for '%s'".

We can improve two things:

  1. Show the value that produced the error (e.g., bad
     config value '3g' for 'foo.bar').

  2. Mention the reason the value was rejected (e.g.,
     "invalid unit" versus "out of range").

A few tests need to be updated with the new output, but that
should not be representative of real-world breakage, as
scripts should not be depending on the exact text of our
stderr output, which is subject to i18n anyway.

33fdd77e2b config: set errno in numeric git_parse_* functions
When we are parsing an integer or unsigned long, we use
the strto*max functions, which properly set errno to ERANGE
if we get a large value. However, we also do further range
checks after applying our multiplication factor, but do not
set ERANGE. This means that a caller cannot tell if an error
was caused by ERANGE or if the input was simply not a valid
number.

This patch teaches git_parse_signed and git_parse_unsigned to set
ERANGE for range errors, and EINVAL for other errors, so that the
caller can reliably tell these cases apart.

42d194e958 config: properly range-check integer values
When we look at a config value as an integer using the
git_config_int function, we carefully range-check the value
we get and complain if it is out of our range. But the range
we compare to is that of a "long", which we then cast to an
"int" in the function's return value. This means that on
systems where "int" and "long" have different sizes (e.g.,
LP64 systems), we may pass the range check, but then return
nonsense by truncating the value as we cast it to an int.

We can solve this by converting git_parse_long into
git_parse_int, and range-checking the "int" range. Nobody
actually cared that we used a "long" internally, since the
result was truncated anyway. And the only other caller of
git_parse_long is git_config_maybe_bool, which should be
fine to just use int (though we will now forbid out-of-range
nonsense like setting "merge.ff" to "10g" to mean "true",
which is probably a good thing).

7192777d22 config: factor out integer parsing from range checks
When we are parsing integers for config, we use an intmax_t
(or uintmax_t) internally, and then check against the size
of our result type at the end. We can parameterize the
maximum representable value, which will let us re-use the
parsing code for a variety of range checks.

Unfortunately, we cannot combine the signed and unsigned
parsing functions easily, as we have to rely on the signed
and unsigned C types internally.

1d7358c524 branch.c: Relax unnecessary requirement on upstream's remote ref name
When creating an upstream relationship, we use the configured remotes and
their refspecs to determine the upstream configuration settings
branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. However, if the matching
refspec does not have refs/heads/<something> on the remote side, we end
up rejecting the match, and failing the upstream configuration.

It could be argued that when we set up an branch's upstream, we want that
upstream to also be a proper branch in the remote repo. Although this is
typically the common case, there are cases (as demonstrated by the previous
patch in this series) where this requirement prevents a useful upstream
relationship from being formed. Furthermore:

 - We have fundamentally no say in how the remote repo have organized its
   branches. The remote repo may put branches (or branch-like constructs
   that are insteresting for downstreams to track) outside refs/heads/*.

 - The user may intentionally want to track a non-branch from a remote
   repo, by using a branch and configured upstream in the local repo.

Relaxing the checking to only require a matching remote/refspec allows the
testcase introduced in the previous patch to succeed, and has no negative
effect on the rest of the test suite.

This patch fixes a behavior (arguably a regression) first introduced in
41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*) on 2013-04-21 (released in >= v1.8.3.2).

62d94a3aa6 t3200: Add test demonstrating minor regression in 41c21f2
In 41c21f2 (branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of
refs/remotes/*), we changed the rules for what is considered a valid tracking
branch (a.k.a. upstream branch). We now use the configured remotes and their
refspecs to determine whether a proposed tracking branch is in fact within
the domain of a remote, and we then use that information to deduce the
upstream configuration (branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge).

However, with that change, we also check that - in addition to a matching
refspec - the result of mapping the tracking branch through that refspec
(i.e. the corresponding ref name in the remote repo) happens to start with
"refs/heads/". In other words, we require that a tracking branch refers to
a _branch_ in the remote repo.

Now, consider that you are e.g. setting up an automated building/testing
infrastructure for a group of similar "source" repositories. The build/test
infrastructure consists of a central scheduler, and a number of build/test
"slave" machines that perform the actual build/test work. The scheduler
monitors the group of similar repos for changes (e.g. with a periodic
"git fetch"), and triggers builds/tests to be run on one or more slaves.
Graphically the changes flow between the repos like this:

  Source #1 -------v          ----> Slave #1
                             /
  Source #2 -----> Scheduler -----> Slave #2
                             \
  Source #3 -------^          ----> Slave #3

        ...                           ...

The scheduler maintains a single Git repo with each of the source repos set
up as distinct remotes. The slaves also need access to all the changes from
all of the source repos, so they pull from the scheduler repo, but using the
following custom refspec:

  remote.origin.fetch = "+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*"

This makes all of the scheduler's remote-tracking branches automatically
available as identical remote-tracking branches in each of the slaves.

Now, consider what happens if a slave tries to create a local branch with
one of the remote-tracking branches as upstream:

  git branch local_branch --track refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch

Git now looks at the configured remotes (in this case there is only "origin",
pointing to the scheduler's repo) and sees refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch
matching origin's refspec. Mapping through that refspec we find that the
corresponding remote ref name is "refs/remotes/source-1/some_branch".
However, since this remote ref name does not start with "refs/heads/", we
discard it as a suitable upstream, and the whole command fails.

This patch adds a testcase demonstrating this failure by creating two
source repos ("a" and "b") that are forwarded through a scheduler ("c")
to a slave repo ("d"), that then tries create a local branch with an
upstream. See the next patch in this series for the exciting conclusion
to this story...

81f339dc3d t3200: Minor fix when preparing for tracking failure
We're testing that trying to --track a ref that is not covered by any remote
refspec should fail. For that, we want to have refs/remotes/local/master
present, but we also want the remote.local.fetch refspec to NOT match
refs/remotes/local/master (so that the tracking setup will fail, as intended).
However, when doing "git fetch local" to ensure the existence of
refs/remotes/local/master, we must not already have changed remote.local.fetch
so as to cause refs/remotes/local/master not to be fetched. Therefore, set
remote.local.fetch to refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/local/* BEFORE we fetch, and
then reset it to refs/heads/s:refs/remotes/local/s AFTER we have fetched
(but before we test --track).

44e1e4d67d git: run in a directory given with -C option
This is similar in spirit to "make -C dir ..." and "tar -C dir ...".

It takes more keypresses to invoke git command in a different
directory without leaving the current directory:

    1. (cd ~/foo && git status)
       git --git-dir=~/foo/.git --work-dir=~/foo status
       GIT_DIR=~/foo/.git GIT_WORK_TREE=~/foo git status
    2. (cd ../..; git grep foo)
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do (cd $d && git svn rebase); done

The methods shown above are acceptable for scripting but are too
cumbersome for quick command line invocations.

With this new option, the above can be done with fewer keystrokes:

    1. git -C ~/foo status
    2. git -C ../.. grep foo
    3. for d in d1 d2 d3; do git -C $d svn rebase; done

A new test script is added to verify the behavior of this option with
other path-related options like --git-dir and --work-tree.
