33e42de0d2 fsck: give accurate error message on empty loose object files
Since 3ba7a06552 (A loose object is not corrupt if it
cannot be read due to EMFILE), "git fsck" on a repository with an empty
loose object file complains with the error message

  fatal: failed to read object <sha1>: Invalid argument

This comes from a failure of mmap on this empty file, which sets errno to
EINVAL. Instead of calling xmmap on empty file, we display a clean error
message ourselves, and return a NULL pointer. The new message is

  error: object file .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1> is empty
  fatal: loose object <sha1> (stored in .git/objects/09/<rest-of-sha1>) is corrupt

The second line was already there before the regression in 3ba7a06552,
and the first is an additional message, that should help diagnosing the
problem for the user.

c01f51cc75 find_pack_entry(): do not keep packed_git pointer locally
Commit f7c22cc (always start looking up objects in the last used pack
first - 2007-05-30) introduce a static packed_git* pointer as an
optimization.  The kept pointer however may become invalid if
free_pack_by_name() happens to free that particular pack.

Current code base does not access packs after calling
free_pack_by_name() so it should not be a problem. Anyway, move the
pointer out so that free_pack_by_name() can reset it to avoid running
into troubles in future.

ab1900a36e Appease Sun Studio by renaming "tmpfile"
On Solaris the system headers define the "tmpfile" name, which'll
cause Git compiled with Sun Studio 12 Update 1 to whine about us
redefining the name:

    "pack-write.c", line 76: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile     (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)
    "sha1_file.c", line 2455: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile    (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)

    "builtin/index-pack.c", line 175: warning: name redefined by pragma redefine_extname declared static: tmpfile    (E_PRAGMA_REDEFINE_STATIC)

Just renaming the "tmpfile" variable to "tmp_file" in the relevant
places is the easiest way to fix this.

58a6a9cc43 downgrade "packfile cannot be accessed" errors to warnings
These can happen if another process simultaneously prunes a
pack. But that is not usually an error condition, because a
properly-running prune should have repacked the object into
a new pack. So we will notice that the pack has disappeared
unexpectedly, print a message, try other packs (possibly
after re-scanning the list of packs), and find it in the new
pack.

4c08018204 pack-objects: protect against disappearing packs
It's possible that while pack-objects is running, a
simultaneously running prune process might delete a pack
that we are interested in. Because we load the pack indices
early on, we know that the pack contains our item, but by
the time we try to open and map it, it is gone.

Since c715f78, we already protect against this in the normal
object access code path, but pack-objects accesses the packs
at a lower level.  In the normal access path, we call
find_pack_entry, which will call find_pack_entry_one on each
pack index, which does the actual lookup. If it gets a hit,
we will actually open and verify the validity of the
matching packfile (using c715f78's is_pack_valid). If we
can't open it, we'll issue a warning and pretend that we
didn't find it, causing us to go on to the next pack (or on
to loose objects).

Furthermore, we will cache the descriptor to the opened
packfile. Which means that later, when we actually try to
access the object, we are likely to still have that packfile
opened, and won't care if it has been unlinked from the
filesystem.

Notice the "likely" above. If there is another pack access
in the interim, and we run out of descriptors, we could
close the pack. And then a later attempt to access the
closed pack could fail (we'll try to re-open it, of course,
but it may have been deleted). In practice, this doesn't
happen because we tend to look up items and then access them
immediately.

Pack-objects does not follow this code path. Instead, it
accesses the packs at a much lower level, using
find_pack_entry_one directly. This means we skip the
is_pack_valid check, and may end up with the name of a
packfile, but no open descriptor.

We can add the same is_pack_valid check here. Unfortunately,
the access patterns of pack-objects are not quite as nice
for keeping lookup and object access together. We look up
each object as we find out about it, and the only later when
writing the packfile do we necessarily access it. Which
means that the opened packfile may be closed in the interim.

In practice, however, adding this check still has value, for
three reasons.

  1. If you have a reasonable number of packs and/or a
     reasonable file descriptor limit, you can keep all of
     your packs open simultaneously. If this is the case,
     then the race is impossible to trigger.

  2. Even if you can't keep all packs open at once, you
     may end up keeping the deleted one open (i.e., you may
     get lucky).

  3. The race window is shortened. You may notice early that
     the pack is gone, and not try to access it. Triggering
     the problem without this check means deleting the pack
     any time after we read the list of index files, but
     before we access the looked-up objects.  Triggering it
     with this check means deleting the pack means deleting
     the pack after we do a lookup (and successfully access
     the packfile), but before we access the object. Which
     is a smaller window.

e6baf4a1ae clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

 - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
   command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
   command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

 - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
   stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
   directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
   the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
   relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
   repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

7f684a2aff Tolerate zlib deflation with window size < 32Kb
Git currently reports loose objects as 'corrupt' if they've been
deflated using a window size less than 32Kb, because the
experimental_loose_object() function doesn't recognise the header
byte as a zlib header. This patch makes the function tolerant of
all valid window sizes (15-bit to 8-bit) - but doesn't sacrifice
it's accuracy in distingushing the standard loose-object format
from the experimental (now abandoned) format.

On memory constrained systems zlib may use a much smaller window
size - working on Agit, I found that Android uses a 4KB window;
giving a header byte of 0x48, not 0x78. Consequently all loose
objects generated appear 'corrupt', which is why Agit is a read-only
Git client at this time - I don't want my client to generate Git
repos that other clients treat as broken :(

This patch makes Git tolerant of different deflate settings - it
might appear that it changes experimental_loose_object() to the point
where it could incorrectly identify the experimental format as the
standard one, but the two criteria (bitmask & checksum) can only
give a false result for an experimental object where both of the
following are true:

1) object size is exactly 8 bytes when uncompressed (bitmask)
2) [single-byte in-pack git type&size header] * 256
   + [1st byte of the following zlib header] % 31 = 0 (checksum)

As it happens, for all possible combinations of valid object type
(1-4) and window bits (0-7), the only time when the checksum will be
divisible by 31 is for 0x1838 - ie object type *1*, a Commit - which,
due the fields all Commit objects must contain, could never be as
small as 8 bytes in size.

Given this, the combination of the two criteria (bitmask & checksum)
always correctly determines the buffer format, and is more tolerant
than the previous version.

The alternative to this patch is simply removing support for the
experimental format, which I am also totally cool with.

ef49a7a012 zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.

But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.

In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.

Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the
status and act on it (i.e. die) for now, but we would probably want to
make inflate_end/deflate_end die when they ran out of memory and get
rid of the _gently() kind.

cc5c54e78b sha1_file.c: "legacy" is really the current format
Every time I look at the read-loose-object codepath, legacy_loose_object()
function makes my brain go through mental contortion. When we were playing
with the experimental loose object format, it may have made sense to call
the traditional format "legacy", in the hope that the experimental one
will some day replace it to become official, but it never happened.

This renames the function (and negates its return value) to detect if we
are looking at the experimental format, and move the code around in its
caller which used to do "if we are looing at legacy, do this special case,
otherwise the normal case is this". The codepath to read from the loose
objects in experimental format is the "unlikely" case.

Someday after Git 2.0, we should drop the support of this format.

3de89c9d42 verify-pack: use index-pack --verify

walks objects in the packfile in their object name order and replaces it
with a call to index-pack --verify. As a side effect, it also removes
packed_object_info_detail() API which is rather expensive.

As this changes the way errors are reported (verify-pack used to rely on
the usual runtime error detection routine unpack_entry() to diagnose the
CRC errors in an entry in the *.idx file; index-pack --verify checks the
whole *.idx file in one go), update a test that expected the string "CRC"
to appear in the error message.

f4e516834e git_open_noatime(): drop unused parameter
Since commit c793430 (Limit file descriptors used by packs, 2011-02-28),
the extra parameter added in f2e872aa (Work around EMFILE when there are
too many pack files, 2010-11-01) is not used anymore.

Remove it.

5bf29b9500 read_sha1_file(): allow selective bypassing of replacement mechanism
The way "object replacement" mechanism was tucked to the read_sha1_file()
interface was suboptimal in a couple of ways:

 - Callers that want it to die with useful diagnosis upon seeing a corrupt
   object does not have a way to say that they do not want any object
   replacement.

 - Callers who do not want it to die but want to handle the errors
   themselves are told to arrange to call read_object(), but the function
   does not use the replacement mechanism, and also it is a file scope
   static function that not many callers can call to begin with.

This adds a read_sha1_file_extended() that takes a set of flags; the
callers of read_sha1_file() passes a flag READ_SHA1_FILE_REPLACE to ask
for object replacement mechanism to kick in.

Later, we could add another flag bit to tell the function to return an
error instead of dying and then remove the misguided "call read_object()
yourself".

4bbf5a2615 read_sha1_file(): get rid of read_sha1_file_repl() madness
Most callers want to silently get a replacement object, and they do not
care what the real name of the replacement object is.  Worse yet, no sane
interface to return the underlying object without replacement is provided.

Remove the function and make only the few callers that want the name of
the replacement object find it themselves.

4dd1fbc7b1 Bigfile: teach "git add" to send a large file straight to a pack
When adding a new content to the repository, we have always slurped
the blob in its entirety in-core first, and computed the object name
and compressed it into a loose object file.  Handling large binary
files (e.g.  video and audio asset for games) has been problematic
because of this design.

At the middle level of "git add" callchain is an internal API
index_fd() that takes an open file descriptor to read from the
working tree file being added with its size. Teach it to call out to
fast-import when adding a large blob.

The write-out codepath in entry.c::write_entry() should be taught to
stream, instead of reading everything in core. This should not be so
hard to implement, especially if we limit ourselves only to loose
object files and non-delta representation in packfiles.

c4ce46fc7a index_fd(): turn write_object and format_check arguments into one flag
The "format_check" parameter tucked after the existing parameters is too
ugly an afterthought to live in any reasonable API.

Combine it with the other boolean parameter "write_object" into a single
"flags" parameter.

0353a0c4ec remove doubled words, e.g., s/to to/to/, and fix related typos
I found that some doubled words had snuck back into projects from which
I'd already removed them, so now there's a "syntax-check" makefile rule in
gnulib to help prevent recurrence.

Running the command below spotted a few in git, too:

  git ls-files | xargs perl -0777 -n \
    -e 'while (/\b(then?|[iao]n|i[fst]|but|f?or|at|and|[dt])\s+\1\b/gims)' \

90a6464b4a rerere: make sure it works even in a workdir attached to a young repository
The git-new-workdir script in contrib/ makes a new work tree by sharing
many subdirectories of the .git directory with the original repository.
When rerere.enabled is set in the original repository, but the user has
not encountered any conflicts yet, the original repository may not yet
have .git/rr-cache directory.

When rerere wants to run in a new work tree created from such a young
original repository, it fails to mkdir(2) .git/rr-cache that is a symlink
to a yet-to-be-created directory.

There are three possible approaches to this:

 - A naive solution is not to create a symlink in the git-new-workdir
   script to a directory the original does not have (yet).  This is not a
   solution, as we tend to lazily create subdirectories of .git/, and
   having rerere.enabled configuration set is a strong indication that the
   user _wants_ to have this lazy creation to happen;

 - We could always create .git/rr-cache upon repository creation.  This is
   tempting but will not help people with existing repositories.

 - Detect this case by seeing that mkdir(2) failed with EEXIST, checking
   that the path is a symlink, and try running mkdir(2) on the link
   target.

This patch solves the issue by doing the third one.

Strictly speaking, this is incomplete.  It does not attempt to handle
relative symbolic link that points into the original repository, but this
is good enough to help people who use contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir
script.
