108c2aaf79 Git.pm: localise $? in command_close_bidi_pipe()
Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object,
which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid, which
alters $?. If this happens during global destruction, it may alter the
program's exit status unexpectedly. Making $? local to the function
solves the problem.

(The problem was discovered due to a failure of test #8 in
t9106-git-svn-commit-diff-clobber.sh.)

31a92f6aa4 Git.pm: Add remote_refs() git-ls-remote frontend
This patch also converts the good ole' git-remote.perl to use it.
It is otherwise used in the repo.or.cz machinery and I guess other
scripts might find it useful too.

Unfortunately,

	git-ls-remote --heads .

is subtly different from

	git-ls-remote . refs/heads/

(since the second matches anywhere in the string, not just at the
beginning) so we have to provide interface for both.

32d8050a86 Git.pm: fix return value of config method
If config is called in array context, it is supposed to return all
values set for the given option key.  This works for all cases except
if there is no value set at all.  In that case, it wrongly returns
(undef) instead of ().  This fixes the return statement so that it
returns undef in scalar context but an empty array in array context.

d683a0e00c Git::cat_blob: allow using an empty blob to fix git-svn breakage
Recent "git-svn optimization" series introduced Git::cat_blob() subroutine
whose interface was broken in that it returned the size of the blob but
signalled an error by returning 0.  You can never use an empty blob with
such an interface.

This fixes the interface to return a negative value to signal an error.

b4c61ed6d3 Color support for "git-add -i"
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.

A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.

A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.

For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text.  $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

74f2b2a8d0 Make 'make' quieter while building git
I find it difficult to see compiler warnings amongst the massive
spewing produced by GNU make as it works through our productions.
This is especially true if CFLAGS winds up being rather long, due
to a large number of -W options being enabled and due to a number
of -D options being configured/required by my platform.

By defining QUIET_MAKE (e.g. make QUIET_MAKE=YesPlease) during
compilation users will get a less verbose output, such as:

    ...
    CC builtin-grep.c
builtin-grep.c:187: warning: 'external_grep' defined but not used
    CC builtin-init-db.c
    CC builtin-log.c
    CC builtin-ls-files.c
    CC builtin-ls-tree.c
    ...

The verbose (normal make) output is still the default.

From time to time, I would get this error:

Turns out that the function WriteMakefile() called in Makefile.PL
outputs the message "Writing perl.mak for Git" to stdout! Thus,
the output of "make -C perl -s --no-print-directory instlibdir"
would be prefixed by that message whenever Makefile.PL was newer
than perl.mak.

This is fixed by redirecting stdout to stderr in Makefile.PL.

18b0fc1ce1 Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for now
This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This
should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master.

Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some
progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional
component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are
really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go
away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several
repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible
to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes.

Rest in peace. (While you can.)

3c479c37f8 Git.pm: Introduce fast get_object() method
Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when
you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either.
The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another
Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness
of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is
nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object
existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted
in the documentation.

At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other
potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be
doing ok.

0270083ded Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)
This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.

It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet
but get_object() will in the next patches.

if the object type always goes first. And writing 'blob' there explicitly
is not much bother.

a6065b548f Git.pm: Try to support ActiveState output pipe
The code is stolen from git-annotate and completely untested since
I don't have access to any Microsoft operating system now. Someone
ActiveState-savvy should look at it anyway and try to implement
the input pipe as well, if it is possible at all; also, the implementation
seems to be horribly whitespace-unsafe.

d595a473ee Git.pm: assorted build related fixes.
- We passed our own *.a archives as LIBS to the submake that runs
   in perl/; separate LIBS and EXTLIBS and pass the latter which
   tells what the system libraries are used.

 - The quoting of preprocesor symbol definitions passed down to
   perl/ submake was loose and we lost double quotes around
   include directives.  Use *_SQ to quote them properly.

 - The installation location of perl/ submake is not
   architecture neutral anymore, so use SITEARCH instead of
   SITELIB.

d5c7721d58 Git.pm: Add support for subdirectories inside of working copies
This patch adds support for subdirectories inside of working copies;
you can specify them in the constructor either as the Directory
option (it will just get autodetected using rev-parse) or explicitly
using the WorkingSubdir option. This makes Git->repository() do the
exact same path setup and repository lookup as the Git porcelain
does.

This patch also introduces repo_path(), wc_path() and wc_subdir()
accessor methods and wc_chdir() mutator.

d43ba46807 Git.pm: Implement options for the command interface
This gives the user a way to easily pass options to the command routines.
Currently only the STDERR option is implemented and can be used to adjust
what shall be done with error output of the called command (most usefully,
it can be used to silence it).

8b9150e3e3 Git.pm: Handle failed commands' output
Currently if an external command returns error exit code, a generic exception
is thrown and there is no chance for the caller to retrieve the command's
output.

This patch introduces a Git::Error::Command exception class which is thrown
in this case and contains both the error code and the captured command output.
You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception
while producing a user-friendly message.

It also adds command_close_pipe() for easier checking of exit status of
a command we have just a pipe handle of. It has partial forward dependency
on the next patch, but basically only in the area of documentation.

97b16c0674 Git.pm: Better error handling
So far, errors just killed the whole program and in case of an error
inside of libgit it would be totally uncatchable. This patch makes
Git.pm throw standard Perl exceptions instead. In the future we might
subclass Error to Git::Error or something but for now Error::Simple
is more than enough.

5c4082fd68 Add Error.pm to the distribution
I have been thinking about how to do the error reporting the best
way and after scraping various overcomplicated concepts, I have
decided that by far the most elegant way is to throw Error exceptions;
the closest sane alternative is to catch the dies in Git.pm by
enclosing the calls in eval{}s and that's really _quite_ ugly.

The only "small" trouble is that Error.pm turns out sadly not to be
part of the standard distribution, and installation from CPAN is
a bother, especially if you can't install it system-wide. But since
it is very small, I've decided to just bundle it.

8062f81c2d Git.pm: Call external commands using execv_git_cmd()
Instead of explicitly using the git wrapper to call external commands,
use the execv_git_cmd() function which will directly call whatever
needs to be called. GitBin option becomes useless so drop it.

This actually means the exec_path() thing I planned to use worthless
internally, but Jakub wants it in anyway and I don't mind, so...

b1edc53d06 Introduce Git.pm (v4)
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module
with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like;
most functions are missing, but this should give some good base.
I will continue expanding it.

Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding
input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking
with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix.
Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv.
I will send them as follow-ups to this patch.

Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that
is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in
various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also
Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with
libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using
libgit.

This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as
an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result
is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this
one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around).

Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some
whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl);
at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this
is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend
the patch.

My current working state is available all the time at

	http://pasky.or.cz/~xpasky/git-perl/Git.pm

and an irregularily updated API documentation is at
