This patch changes git-cvsimport-script so that it creates tag objects
instead of refs to commits, and adds an option, -u, to convert
underscores in branch and tag names to dots (since CVS doesn't allow
dots in branches and tags.)

The new test pattern is taken from HPA's klibc and klibc-kbuild trees,
which has many interesting renames (the commits
001eef5a19219e5b0601068a3d13874b88c0653e and
0037d1bc0deaf7daec3778496656cb04b4e4b9d0). The test pattern exposes
problems in the apply.c changes currently in the proposed updates
branch.

The message "\ No newline at end of file" used by diff(1) to mark
an incomplete line is locale dependent. We can't assume more than
that it begins with "\ ".
For example, given two files, "foo" and "bar", with appropriate
contents, 'diff -u foo bar' will produce the following output on
my system:
--- foo 2005-09-04 18:59:38.000000000 +0200
+++ bar 2005-09-04 18:59:16.000000000 +0200
@@ -1 +1 @@
-foobar
+foo
\ Ingen nyrad vid filslut
[jc: the check for the marker still uses the line length being no less
than 12 bytes for a sanity check, but I think it is safe to assume
that in other locales. I haven't checked the .po files from diff, tho'.]

Arch tags are full commits (without any changed files) as well. Trust Arch
to have put an unchanged tree in place (which seems to do reliably), and
just add a tag & new branch. Speeds up Arch imports significantly, and leaves
history in a much saner state.

If there is no GIT directory, archimport will assume it is an initial import.
It now also supports incremental imports, skipping "seen" commits. You can
now run it repeatedly to pull new commits from the Arch repository.

At least pretty_print_commit() expects to get NUL-terminated commit data to
work properly. unpack_sha1_rest(), which reads objects from separate files,
and unpack_non_delta_entry(), which reads non-delta-compressed objects from
pack files, already add the NUL byte after the object data, but patch_delta()
did not do it, which caused problems with, e.g., git-rev-list --pretty when
there are delta-compressed commit objects.

On NetBSD 3 we trigger an error:

using '=' for strict POSIX compliance (test(1) from coreutils does not
mention '=='). Eradicate their uses everywhere.

The rewrite done while adding the shorthand support made the remote
refname recorded in the commit message too long for human consumption,
while losing information by using the shorthand not the real URL to
name the remote repository there. They were both bad changes done
without enough thinking.

If somebody tries to run `git update-cache foo', where foo is a new
file, git dies with a rather cryptic error message:
fatal: Unable to add foo to database
This trivial patch makes git explain what probably went wrong. It is
not a perfect diagnosis of all error paths, but for 90% of the cases it
should provide the user with the clue they need.
[jc: I ended up wording slightly differently, and fixed another
confusing error message I noticed while reviewing the code.]

Imports a project history from one or more Arch repositories, following
the branching and tagging across repositories. Note you should import
separate projects to separate GIT repositories.
Supported
- Imports, tags and simple commits.
- File renames
- Arch tags
- Binary files
- Large trees
- Multiple repositories
- Branches
TODO:
- Allow re-running the import on an already-imported project
- Follow merges using Arch data
- Audit shell escaping of filenames
- Better support for file metadata
- Better/safer creation of temp directories
Unsupported:
- Arch 'configuration'
[jc: my arch/tla is very rusty and after Tom announced he is stepping
down as the maintainer I have very little motivation to relearn it,
so I would appreciate if people discuss any bugs or enhancements
directly with Martin. Of course I can help with the git end of the
issues.]

(cherry picked from 7adf1f15ebe074d4767df941817a6cf86d8e2533 commit)
Linus says:
I'm testing bisection to find a bug that causes my G5 to no longer boot,
and during the process have found this command line very nice:
gitk bisect/bad --not $(cd .git/refs ; ls bisect/good-*)
it basically shows the state of bisection with the known bad commit as the
top, and cutting off all the good commits - so what you see are the
potential buggy commits.

When testing bisection and using gitk to visualize the result, it was
obvious that the termination condition was broken.
We know what the bad entry is only when the bisection ends up telling us
to test the known-bad entry again.
Also, add a safety net: if somebody marks as good something that includes
the known-bad point, we now notice and complain, instead of writing an
empty revision to the new bisection branch.

Earlier we always prefixed refs/heads to the token given to "git fetch"
(and "git pull") as refspec. This was a mistake. Allow them to be
spelled like "master:refs/tags/paulus" to mean "I want to fetch the
master there and store it as my local "paulus" tag.

When we resolve a merge between two branches, and it removes a file in the
current branch, we notify the person doing the resolve with a big nice
notice like
Removing xyzzy
which is all well and good.
HOWEVER, we also do this when the file was actually removed in the current
branch, and we're merging with another branch that didn't have it removed
(or, indeed, if the other branch _did_ have it removed, but the common
parent was far enough back that the file still existed in there).
And that just doesn't make sense. In that case we're not removing
anything: the file didn't exist in the branch we're merging into in the
first place. So the message just makes people nervous, and makes no sense.
This has been around forever, but I never bothered to do anything about
it.
Until now.
The trivial fix is to only talk about removing files if the file existed
in the branch we're merging into, but will not exist in the result.
