8db751a8f9 fast-import: tag may point to any object type
If you tried to export the official git repository, and then to import it
back then git-fast-import would die complaining that "Mark :1 not a commit".

Accordingly to a generated crash file, Mark 1 is not a commit but a blob,
which is pointed by junio-gpg-pub tag. Because git-tag allows to create such
tags, git-fast-import should import them.

74fbd1182a fast-import: Document author/committer/tagger name is optional
The fast-import parser does not validate that the author, committer
or tagger name component contains both a name and an email address.
Therefore the name component has always been optional.  Correct the
documentation to match the implementation.

2a113aee9b fast-import: Proper notes tree manipulation
This patch teaches 'git fast-import' to automatically organize note objects
in a fast-import stream into an appropriate fanout structure. The notes API
in notes.h is NOT used to accomplish this, because trying to keep the
fast-import and notes data structures in sync would yield a significantly
larger patch with higher complexity.

Note objects are added with the 'N' command, and accounted for with a
per-branch counter, which is used to trigger fanout restructuring when
needed. Note that when restructuring the branch tree, _any_ entry whose
path consists of 40 hex chars (not including directory separators) will
be recognized as a note object. It is therefore not advisable to
manipulate note entries with M/D/R/C commands.

Since note objects are stored in the same tree structure as other objects,
the unloading and reloading of a fast-import branches handle note objects
transparently.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Shawn O. Pearce: Several style- and logic-related improvements

bc3c79aefc fast-import: add (non-)relative-marks feature
After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.

In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.

Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.

Also add tests to verify this behavior.

081751c882 fast-import: allow for multiple --import-marks= arguments
The --import-marks= option may be specified multiple times on the
commandline and should result in all marks being read in. Only one
import-marks feature may be specified in the stream, which is
overriden by any --import-marks= commandline options.

If one wishes to specify import-marks files in addition to the one
specified in the stream, it is easy to repeat the stream option as a
--import-marks= commandline option.

Also verify this behavior with tests.

9c8398f0c9 fast-import: add option command
This allows the frontend to specify any of the supported options as
long as no non-option command has been given. This way the
user does not have to include any frontend-specific options, but
instead she can rely on the frontend to tell fast-import what it
needs.

Also factor out parsing of argv and have it execute when we reach the
first non-option command, or after all commands have been read and
no non-option command has been encountered.

Non-git options are ignored, unrecognised options result in an error.

a8dd2e7d2b fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes
Introduce a 'notemodify' subcommand of the 'commit' command. This subcommand
is similar to 'filemodify', except that no mode is supplied (all notes have
mode 0644), and the path is set to the hex SHA1 of the given "comittish".

This enables fast import of note objects along with their associated commits,
since the notes can now be named using the mark references of their
corresponding commits.

This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on
systems which lock open files.

I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
  called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
  called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

6e180cdcec Make sure objects/pack exists before creating a new pack
In a repository created with git older than f49fb35 (git-init-db: create
"pack" subdirectory under objects, 2005-06-27), objects/pack/ directory is
not created upon initialization.  It was Ok because subdirectories are
created as needed inside directories init-db creates, and back then,
packfiles were recent invention.

After the said commit, new codepaths started relying on the presense of
objects/pack/ directory in the repository.  This was exacerbated with
8b4eb6b (Do not perform cross-directory renames when creating packs,
2008-09-22) that moved the location temporary pack files are created from
objects/ directory to objects/pack/ directory, because moving temporary to
the final location was done carefully with lazy leading directory creation.

Many packfile related operations in such an old repository can fail
mysteriously because of this.

This commit introduces two helper functions to make things work better.

 - odb_mkstemp() is a specialized version of mkstemp() to refactor the
   code and teach it to create leading directories as needed;

 - odb_pack_keep() refactors the code to create a ".keep" file while
   create leading directories as needed.

This makes test 9300-fast-import pass on Windows for me; quite a few
fast-imports leave temporary packs until the test "blank lines not
necessary after other commands" actually tests for the number of files
in .git/objects/pack/, which has a few temporary packs now.

I guess that 8b4eb6b(Do not perform cross-directory renames when

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version.  Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.

Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c.  But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.

As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

problems on various systems (FAT, NFS, Coda)') that should apply
in this situation as well.  This in the end did not end up solving
any of my personal problems, but it might be a useful cleanup patch
nevertheless.

85e7283069 cast pid_t's to uintmax_t to improve portability
Some systems (like e.g. OpenSolaris) define pid_t as long,
therefore all our sprintf that use %i/%d cause a compiler warning
beacuse of the implicit long->int cast. To make sure that
we fit the limits, we display pids as PRIuMAX and cast them explicitly
to uintmax_t.

abeb40e5aa improve reliability of fixup_pack_header_footer()
Currently, this function has the potential to read corrupted pack data
from disk and give it a valid SHA1 checksum.  Let's add the ability to
validate SHA1 checksum of existing data along the way, including before
and after any arbitrary point in the pack.

03db4525d3 Support gitlinks in fast-import.
Currently fast-import/export cannot be used for
repositories with submodules. This patch extends
the relevant programs to make them correctly
process gitlinks.

Links can be represented by two forms of the
Modify command:

M 160000 SHA1 some/path

which sets the link target explicitly, or

M 160000 :mark some/path

where the mark refers to a commit. The latter
form can be used by importing tools to build
all submodules simultaneously in one physical
repository, and then simply fetch them apart.
