Most of the build targets do not care about the setting of
$prefix (or its derivative variables), but will be rebuilt
if the prefix changes. For most setups this doesn't matter
(they set prefix once and never change it), but for a setup
which puts each branch or version in its own prefix, this
unnecessarily causes a full rebuild whenever the branc is
changed.

t9002: work around shells that are unable to set COLUMNS to 1

Add column layout skeleton and git-column
A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:
- enabling: always, never and auto
- layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
- other future tuning flags
git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output
code can be changed to use column layout code directly.

This simplifies svn-fe a great deal and fulfills a longstanding wish:
support for dumps with deltas in them, and incremental imports.
The cost is that commandline usage of the svn-fe tool becomes a little
more complicated since it no longer keeps state itself but instead reads
blobs back from fast-import in order to copy them between revisions and
apply deltas to them.
Also removes a couple of custom data structures and replaces them with
strbufs like other parts of Git.

This is like "cache", except that we actually put the

course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem
permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation.
This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a
little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in
place ahead of time, we transparently store them after
prompting the user for them once.

If you access repositories over smart-http using http
authentication, then it can be annoying to have git ask you
for your password repeatedly. We cache credentials in
memory, of course, but git is composed of many small
programs. Having to input your password for each one can be
frustrating.
This patch introduces a credential helper that will cache
passwords in memory for a short period of time.

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
There are a few places in git that need to get a username
and password credential from the user; the most notable one
is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing.
Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to
put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt
you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The
former is not very secure, and the latter is not very
convenient.
Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for
password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff
you want between security and convenience, as well as how
git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many
operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for
single sign-on).
This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a
data item, and provides three basic operations:
- fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the
user)
- approve (mark a credential as "working" for further
storage)
- reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can
be removed from storage)
These operations can be backed by external helper processes
that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.

For better webapp performance it is recommended[1][2][3] to combine

straight concatenation of files into gitweb.js file (which is now
ignored as being generated). This means that there are no changes to

Add a git-sh-i18n--envsubst program which is a stripped-down version
of the GNU envsubst(1) program that comes with GNU gettext for use in
the eval_gettext() fallback.
We need a C helper program because implementing eval_gettext() purely
in shell turned out to be unworkable. Digging through the Git mailing
list archives will reveal two shell implementations of eval_gettext
that are almost good enough, but fail on an edge case which is tested
for in the tests which are part of this patch.
These are the modifications I made to envsubst.c as I turned it into
sh-i18n--envsubst.c:
* Added our git-compat-util.h header for xrealloc() and friends.
* Removed inclusion of gettext-specific headers.
* Removed most of main() and replaced it with my own. The modified
version only does option parsing for --variables. That's all it
needs.
* Modified error() invocations to use our error() instead of
error(3).
* Replaced the gettext XNMALLOC(n, size) macro with just
xmalloc(n). Since XNMALLOC() only allocated char's.
* Removed the string_list_destroy function. It's redundant (also in
the upstream code).
* Replaced the use of stdbool.h (a C99 header) by doing the following
replacements on the code:
* s/bool/unsigned short int/g
* s/true/1/g
* s/false/0/g

Provide macros to generate a type-specific treap implementation and
various functions to operate on it. It uses obj_pool.h to store memory
nodes in a treap. Previously committed nodes are never removed from
the pool; after any *_commit operation, it is assumed (correctly, in
the case of svn-fast-export) that someone else must care about them.
Treaps provide a memory-efficient binary search tree structure.
Insertion/deletion/search are about as about as fast in the average
case as red-black trees and the chances of worst-case behavior are
vanishingly small, thanks to (pseudo-)randomness. The bad worst-case
behavior is a small price to pay, given that treaps are much simpler
to implement.

Add a memory pool library implemented using C macros. The
obj_pool_gen() macro creates a type-specific memory pool.
The memory pool library is distinguished from the existing specialized
allocators in alloc.c by using a contiguous block for all allocations.
This means that on one hand, long-lived pointers have to be written as
offsets, since the base address changes as the pool grows, but on the
other hand, the entire pool can be easily written to the file system.
This could allow the memory pool to persist between runs of an
application.
For the svn importer, such a facility is useful because each svn
revision can copy trees and files from any previous revision. The
relevant information for all revisions has to persist somehow to
support incremental runs.
