7ebdba6142 repo-config: trim white-space before comment
Earlier, calling

	git-repo-config core.hello

on a .git/config like this:

	[core]
		hello = world ; a comment

would yield "world " (i.e. with a trailing space).

93ddef3e2d Fix for config file section parsing.
Currently, if the target key has a section that matches
the initial substring of another section we mistakenly
believe we've found the correct section.  To avoid this
problem, ensure that the section lengths are identical
before comparison.

1ab661ddb7 Document the configuration file
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.

It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).

5f73076c1a "Assume unchanged" git
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:

	<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>

This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of.  On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.

You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:

	git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
	git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...

These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file.  Nor they add a new
entry to the index.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:

 - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
   index file.

 - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.

 - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
   tree file and register the current object name to the index file.

The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry.  This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.

Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time.  However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:

 - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
   that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
   modifications.  This sacrifices performance for safety.

 - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
   to checkout the paths.  Otherwise you can never check
   anything out ;-).

 - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
   see if the index entry is up to date.  You can start with
   everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
   CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.

Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".

This version is not expected to be perfect.  I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

4f629539cd init-db: check template and repository format.
This makes init-db repository version aware.

It checks if an existing config file says the repository being
reinitialized is of a wrong version and aborts before doing
further harm.

When copying the templates, it makes sure the they are of the
right repository format version.  Otherwise the templates are
ignored with an warning message.

It copies the templates before creating the HEAD, and if the
config file is copied from the template directory, reads it,
primarily to pick up the value of core.symrefsonly.

It changes the way the result of the filemode reliability test
is written to the configuration file using git_config_set().
The test is done even if the config file was copied from the
templates.

And finally, our own repository format version is written to the
config file.

10bea152a3 Add functions git_config_set() and git_config_set_multivar()
The function git_config_set() does exactly what you think it does.
Given a key (in the form "core.filemode") and a value, it sets the
key to the value. Example:

	git_config_set("core.filemode", "true");

The function git_config_set_multivar() is meant for setting variables which
can have several values for the same key. Example:

	[diff]
		twohead = resolve
		twohead = recarsive

the typo in the second line can be replaced by

	git_config_set_multivar("diff.twohead", "recursive", "^recar");

The third argument of the function is a POSIX extended regex which has to
match the value. If there is no key/value pair with a matching value, a new
key/value pair is added.

These commands are also capable of unsetting (deleting) entries:

	git_config_set_multivar("diff.twohead", NULL, "sol");

will delete the entry

		twohead = resolve

3299c6f6a8 diff: make default rename detection limit configurable.
A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175

where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits.  git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.

This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use.  You
can have:

	[diff]
		renamelimit = 30

in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit.  You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':

	git diff -M -l0

We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so.  This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

128af9d1ef Make git config variable names case-insensitive
They always were meant to be case-insensitive, but I had missed one
"tolower()", making that not true.

The actual _values_ aren't case-insensitive, of course, although some uses
of them may be (ie boolean parsing uses "strcasecmp()" to match against
the strings "true" and "false").

e1b10391ea Use git config file for committer name and email info
This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing.  This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.

The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately.  And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.

In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.

It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

5cbb401dba Improve config file escape sanity checking
I had meant to disallow unknown escape characters in the config file
parser, but instead an unknown escaped character would silently pass
through as itself. That's correct for some cases (notably '\' itself), but
wasn't correct in general.

This fixes it, and makes the parser write a nice error message if the
config file contains bogus escaped characters.

17712991a5 Add ".git/config" file parser
This is a first cut at a very simple parser for a git config file.

The format of the file is a simple ini-file like thing, with simple
variable/value pairs. You can (and should) make the variables have a
simple single-level scope, ie a valid file looks something like this:

	#
	# This is the config file, and
	# a '#' or ';' character indicates
	# a comment
	#

	; core variables
	[core]
		; Don't trust file modes
		filemode = false

	; Our diff algorithm
	[diff]
		external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u"
		renames = true

which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.

Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.

Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.
