Noticed by applying two diffs of different contexts to the same file.
The check for existence of a file was wrong: the test assumed it was
a directory and reset the errno (twice: directly and by calling
lstat). So if an entry existed and was _not_ a directory no attempt
was made to rename into it, because the errno (expected by renaming
code) was already reset to 0. This resulted in error:
fatal: unable to write file file mode 100644
For Linux, removing "errno = 0" is enough, as lstat wont modify errno
if it was successful. The behavior should not be depended upon,
though, so modify the "if" as well.
The test simulates this situation.

This changes the configuration syntax for defining a low-level

This allows users to specify custom low-level merge driver per
path, using the attributes mechanism. Just like you can specify
one of built-in "text", "binary", "union" low-level merge
drivers by saying:
* merge=text
.gitignore merge=union
*.jpg merge=binary
pick a name of your favorite merge driver, and assign it as the
value of the 'merge' attribute.
A custom low-level merge driver is defined via the config
mechanism. This patch introduces 'merge.driver', a multi-valued
configuration. Its value is the name (i.e. the one you use as
the value of 'merge' attribute) followed by a command line
specification. The command line can contain %O, %A, and %B to
be interpolated with the names of temporary files that hold the
common ancestor version, the version from your branch, and the
version from the other branch, and the resulting command is
spawned.
The low-level merge driver is expected to update the temporary
file for your branch (i.e. %A) with the result and exit with
status 0 for a clean merge, and non-zero status for a conflicted
merge.
A new test in t6026 demonstrates a sample usage.

This demonstrates how the new low-level per-path merge backends,
union and ours, work, and shows how they are controlled by the
gitattribute mechanism.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
This allows 'merge' attribute to control how the file-level
three-way merge is done per path.
- If you set 'merge' to true, leave it unspecified, or set it
to "text", we use the built-in 3-way xdl-merge.
- If you set 'merge' to false, or set it to "binary, the
"binary" merge is done. The merge result is the blob from
'our' tree, but this still leaves the path conflicted, so
that the mess can be sorted out by the user. This is
obviously meant to be useful for binary files.
- 'merge=union' (this is the first example of a string valued
attribute, introduced in the previous one) uses the "union"
merge. The "union" merge takes lines in conflicted hunks
from both sides, which is useful for line-oriented files such
as .gitignore.
Instead fo setting merge to 'true' or 'false' by using 'merge'
or '-merge', setting it explicitly to "text" or "binary" will
become useful once we start allowing custom per-path backends to
be added, and allow them to be activated for the default
(i.e. 'merge' attribute specified to 'true' or 'false') case,
using some other mechanisms. Setting merge attribute to "text"
or "binary" will be a way to explicitly request to override such
a custom default for selected paths.
Currently there is no way to specify random programs but it
should be trivial for motivated contributors to add later.
There is one caveat, though. ll_merge() is called for both
internal ancestor merge and the outer "final" merge. I think an
interactive custom per-path merge backend should refrain from
going interactive when performing an internal merge (you can
tell it by checking call_depth) and instead just call either
ll_xdl_merge() if the content is text, or call ll_binary_merge()
otherwise.

This allows you to define three values (and possibly more) to
each attribute: true, false, and unset.
Typically the handlers that notice and act on attribute values
treat "unset" attribute to mean "do your default thing"
(e.g. crlf that is unset would trigger "guess from contents"),
so being able to override a setting to an unset state is
actually useful.
- If you want to set the attribute value to true, have an entry
in .gitattributes file that mentions the attribute name; e.g.
*.o binary
- If you want to set the attribute value explicitly to false,
use '-'; e.g.
*.a -diff
- If you want to make the attribute value _unset_, perhaps to
override an earlier entry, use '!'; e.g.
*.a -diff
c.i.a !diff
This also allows string values to attributes, with the natural
syntax:
attrname=attrvalue
but you cannot use it, as nobody takes notice and acts on
it yet.

This updates git-rev-list --objects to be a bit more careful
when listing a blob object to make sure the blob actually
exists, and uses it to make sure the quick-fetch optimization we
introduced earlier is not fooled by a previous incomplete fetch.
The quick-fetch optimization works by running this command:
git rev-list --objects <<commit-list>> --not --all
where <<commit-list>> is a list of commits that we are going to
fetch from the other side. If there is any object missing to
complete the <<commit-list>>, the rev-list would fail and die
(say, the commit was in our repository, but its tree wasn't --
then it will barf while trying to list the blobs the tree
contains because it cannot read that tree).
Usually we do not have the objects (otherwise why would we
fetching?), but in one important special case we do: when the
remote repository is used as an alternate object store
(i.e. pointed by .git/objects/info/alternates). We could check
.git/objects/info/alternates to see if the remote we are
interacting with is one of them (or is used as an alternate,
recursively, by one of them), but that check is more cumbersome
than it is worth.
The above check however did not catch missing blob, because
object listing code did not read nor check blob objects, knowing
that blobs do not contain any further references to other
objects. This commit fixes it with practically unmeasurable
overhead.
I've benched this with
git rev-list --objects --all >/dev/null
in the kernel repository, with three different implementations
of the "check-blob".
- Checking with has_sha1_file() has negligible (unmeasurable)
performance penalty.
- Checking with sha1_object_info() makes it somewhat slower,
perhaps by 5%.
- Checking with read_sha1_file() to cause a fully re-validation
is prohibitively expensive (about 4 times as much runtime).
In my original patch, I had this as a command line option, but
the overhead is small enough that it is not really worth it.

We used to use a different allocator scheme for when we didn't know the
object type. That meant that objects that were created without any
up-front knowledge of the type would not go through the same allocation
paths as normal object allocations, and would miss out on the statistics.
But perhaps more importantly than the statistics (that are useful when
looking at memory usage but not much else), if we want to make the
object hash tables use a denser object pointer representation, we need
to make sure that they all go through the same blocking allocator.

With large amount of objects, check_object() is really trashing the pack
sliding map and the filesystem cache. It has a completely random access
pattern especially with old objects where delta replay jumps back and
forth all over the pack.
This patch improves things by:
1) sorting objects by their offset in pack before calling check_object()
so the pack access pattern is linear;
2) recording the object type at add_object_entry() time since it is
already known in most cases;
3) recording the pack offset even for preferred_base objects;
4) avoid calling sha1_object_info() if all possible.
This limits pack accesses to the bare minimum and makes them perfectly
linear.
In the process check_object() was made more clear (to me at least).
Note: I thought about walking the sorted_by_offset list backward in
get_object_details() so if a pack happens to be larger than the available
file cache, then the cache would have been populated with useful data from
the beginning of the pack already when find_deltas() is called. Strangely,
testing (on Linux) showed absolutely no performance difference.

It currently aliases delta_size on the principle that reused deltas won't
go through the whole delta matching loop hence delta_size was unused.
This is not true if given delta doesn't find its base in the pack though.
But we need that information even for whole object data reuse.
Well in short the current state looks awful and is prone to bugs. It just
works fine now because try_delta() tests trg_entry->delta before using
trg_entry->delta_size, but that is a bit subtle and I was wondering for a
while why things just worked fine... even if I'm guilty of having
introduced this abomination myself in the first place.
Let's do the sensible thing instead with no ambiguity, which is to have
a separate variable for in_pack_header_size. This might even help future
optimizations.
While at it, let's reorder some struct object_entry members so they all
align well with their own width, regardless of the architecture or the
size of off_t. Some memory saving is to be expected with this alone.

Because we don't have to know the SHA1 h(hence the name) of the pack
up front anymore, let's get rid of yet another global sorted object list

SHA1 on the fly.
This has the advantage of saving another chunk of memory, and the sorted
list SHA1 won't be computed needlessly on servers during a fetch.
Of course the cunning plan is also to make write_index_file() much like
the function with the same name in index-pack.c for an eventual easy

This capability is practically never useful, and therefore never tested,
because it is fairly unlikely that the requested pack will be already
available. Furthermore it is of little gain over the ability to reuse
existing pack data.
In fact the ability to change delta type on the fly when reusing delta
data is a nice thing that has almost no cost and allows greater backward
compatibility with a client's capabilities than if the client is blindly
sent a whole pack without any discrimination.
And this "feature" is simply in the way of other cleanups.

Objects that have delta "children" from pack data reuse must consider the
depth of their deepest child when they try to deltify themselves for those
children not to become too deep.
However, in the context of a "thin" pack, the delta children depth was
skipped entirely on the presumption that the pack was always going to be
exploded on the receiving end, hence the delta length wasn't an issue.
Now that we keep received packs as is and reuse pack data when repacking,
those packs do contain delta chains that are longer than expected. Worse,
those delta chain may even grow longer when the pack is further repacked
into another thin pack for a subsequent transmission.
So this patch restores strict delta length even for thin packs, and it
moves check_delta_limit() usage directly in the delta loop where it is
needed. This way the delta_limit can be removed from struct object_entry
as well. Oh and the initial value was wrong too.
The progress_interval() function was moved to a more logical location in
the process.

Before finding best delta combinations, we sort objects by name hash,
