65d41d48a4 fix memcpy of overlapping area
Caught by valgrind in t5500, but it is pretty obvious from
reading the code that this is shifting elements of an array
to the left, which needs memmove.

edace6f02e fetch-pack: Use a strbuf to compose the want list
This change is being offered as a refactoring to make later
commits in the smart HTTP series easier.

By changing the enabled capabilities to be formatted in a strbuf
it is easier to add a new capability to the set of supported
capabilities.

By formatting the want portion of the request into a strbuf and
writing it as a whole block we can later decide to hold onto
the req_buf (instead of releasing it) to recycle in stateless
communications.

a97a74686d Introduce commit notes
Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message.  These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.

The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).

The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Thomas Rast: fix core.notesRef documentation
- Tor Arne Vestbø: fix printing of multi-line notes
- Alex Riesen: Using char array instead of char pointer costs less BSS
- Johan Herland: Plug leak when msg is good, but msglen or type causes return

fe0a3cb23c info/grafts: allow trailing whitespaces at the end of line
When creating an info/grafts under windows, one typically gets a CRLF file.
There is no good reason to forbid trailing CR at the end of the line (for
that matter, any trailing whitespaces); the code allowed only LF simply
because that was good enough for the platforms with LF line endings.

2b7ca830c6 use write_str_in_full helper to avoid literal string lengths
In 2d14d65 (Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers,
2009-09-03) I happened to notice two changes like this:

-	write_in_full(helper->in, "list\n", 5);
+
+	strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
+	write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
+	strbuf_reset(&buf);

IMHO, it would be better to define a new function,

    static inline ssize_t write_str_in_full(int fd, const char *str)
    {
           return write_in_full(fd, str, strlen(str));
    }

and then use it like this:

-       strbuf_addstr(&buf, "list\n");
-       write_in_full(helper->in, buf.buf, buf.len);
-       strbuf_reset(&buf);
+       write_str_in_full(helper->in, "list\n");

Thus not requiring the added allocation, and still avoiding
the maintenance risk of literal string lengths.
These days, compilers are good enough that strlen("literal")
imposes no run-time cost.

Transformed via this:

    perl -pi -e \
        's/write_in_full\((.*?), (".*?"), \d+\)/write_str_in_full($1, $2)/'\
      $(git grep -l 'write_in_full.*"')

7f3140cd23 git repack: keep commits hidden by a graft
When you have grafts that pretend that a given commit has different
parents than the ones recorded in the commit object, it is dangerous
to let 'git repack' remove those hidden parents, as you can easily
remove the graft and end up with a broken repository.

So let's play it safe and keep those parent objects and everything
that is reachable by them, in addition to the grafted parents.

As this behavior can only be triggered by git pack-objects, and as that
command handles duplicate parents gracefully, we do not bother to cull
duplicated parents that may result by using both true and grafted
parents.

836a3fd5b0 commit: add function to unparse a commit and its parents
This patch adds the "unparse_commit" function that returns a commit
into an unparsed state by freeing its data and resetting its fields
to 0.

Its parents are recursively unparsed too, because they might have
been changed. But its tree is not unparsed as it should not have
been modifed.

Note that as the "flags" and "used" fields may be used even if the
object is not parsed, we have to reset them anyway.

e358f3c31e sort_in_topological_order(): avoid setting a commit flag
We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.

This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.

Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.

But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref.  So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

When comparing two commit objects for equality, it is sufficient to
compare their in-core pointers because the object layer guarantees the
uniqueness.  However, comparing pointers to two "struct commit_list"

98cf9c3bd7 Introduce reduce_heads()
The new function reduce_heads() is given a list of commits, and removes
ones that can be reached from other commits in the list.  It is useful for
reducing the commits randomly thrown at the git-merge command and remove
redundant commits that the user shouldn't have given to it.

The implementation uses the get_merge_bases_many() introduced in the
previous commit.  If the merge base between one commit taken from the list
and the remaining commits is the commit itself, that means the commit is
reachable from some of the other commits.

6a938648e1 Introduce get_merge_bases_many()
This introduces a new function get_merge_bases_many() which is a natural
extension of two commit merge base computation.  It is given one commit
(one) and a set of other commits (twos), and computes the merge base of
one and a merge across other commits.

This is mostly useful to figure out the common ancestor when iterating
over heads during an octopus merge.  When making an octopus between
commits A, B, C and D, we first merge tree of A and B, and then try to
merge C with it.  If we were making pairwise merge, we would be recording
the tree resulting from the merge between A and B as a commit, say M, and
then the next round we will be computing the merge base between M and C.

         o---C...*
        /       .
       o---B...M
      /       .
     o---o---A

But during an octopus merge, we actually do not create a commit M.  In
order to figure out that the common ancestor to use for this merge,
instead of computing the merge base between C and M, we can call
merge_bases_many() with one set to C and twos containing A and B.

0a61779994 parse_commit_buffer: tighten checks while parsing
This tightens the parsing of a commit object in a couple of ways.

 - The "tree " header must end with a LF (earlier we did not
   check this condition).

 - Make sure parsing of timestamp on the "committer " header
   does not go beyond the buffer, even when (1) the "author "
   header does not end with a LF (this means that the commit
   object is malformed and lacks the committer information) or
   (2) the "committer " header does not have ">" that is the end
   of the e-mail address, or (3) the "committer " header does
   not end with a LF.

We however still keep the existing behaviour to return a parsed
commit object even when non-structural headers such as committer
and author are malformed, so that tools that need to look at
commits to clean up a history with such broken commits can still
get at the structural data (i.e. the parents chain and the tree
object).

60fcc2e6ce clear_commit_marks(): avoid deep recursion
Before this patch, clear_commit_marks() recursed for each parent.  This
could be potentially very expensive in terms of stack space.  Probably
the only reason that this did not lead to problems is the fact that we
typically call clear_commit_marks() after marking a relatively small set
of commits.

Use (sort of) a tail recursion instead: first recurse on the parents
other than the first one, and then continue the loop with the first
parent.

b315c5c081 strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.

strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.

as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,

  * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
    macro.
  * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
    NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
    make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

674d172730 Rework pretty_print_commit to use strbufs instead of custom buffers.
Also remove the "len" parameter, as:
  (1) it was used as a max boundary, and every caller used ~0u
  (2) we check for final NUL no matter what, so it doesn't help for speed.

  As a result most of the pp_* function takes 3 arguments less, and we need
a lot less local variables, this makes the code way more readable, and
easier to extend if needed.

4cd008a925 pp_header(): work around possible memory corruption
add_user_info() possibly adds way more than just the commit header line.
In fact, it sometimes needs so much more space that there is a buffer
overrun, leading to an ugly crash. For example, the date is printed in its
own line, and usually takes up more space than the equivalent Unix epoch.

So, for good measure, add 80 characters (a full line) to the allocated
space, in addition to the header line length.

4234a76167 Extend --pretty=oneline to cover the first paragraph,
so that an ugly commit message like this can be
handled sanely.

Currently, --pretty=oneline and --pretty=email (hence
format-patch) take and use only the first line of the commit log
message.  This changes them to:

 - Take the first paragraph, where the definition of the first
   paragraph is "skip all blank lines from the beginning, and
   then grab everything up to the next empty line".

 - Replace all line breaks with a whitespace.

This change would not affect a well-behaved commit message that
adheres to the convention of "single line summary, a blank line,
and then body of message", as its first paragraph always
consists of a single line.  Commit messages from different
culture, such as the ones imported from CVS/SVN, can however get
chomped with the existing behaviour at the first linebreak in
the middle of sentence right now, which would become much easier
to see with this change.

The Subject: and --pretty=oneline output would become very long
and unsightly for non-conforming commits, but their messages are
already ugly anyway, and thischange at least avoids the loss of
information.

The Subject: line from a multi-line paragraph is folded using
RFC2822 line folding rules at the places where line breaks were
in the original.

80583c0ef6 Lift 16kB limit of log message output
Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for
output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have
a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying
about reallocating.

This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to
lift this limit.  Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it
now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated
buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the
allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary.

To support the user format, the error return of interpolate()
needed to be changed.  It used to return a bool telling "Ok the
result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it".  Now it returns
0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in
order to fit the whole result.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the

Most of these are very straightforward.  The only exception is the
(unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached
head case.  Since this is a user-level interactive type program
and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel

d2c11a38c4 UTF-8: introduce i18n.logoutputencoding.
It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8).  Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.

The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

37818d7db0 Merge branch 'master' into js/shallow
This is to adjust to:

  count-objects -v: show number of packs as well.

which will break a test in this series.

52883fbd76 Teach log family --encoding
Updated commit objects record the encoding used in their
encoding header.  This updates the log family to reencode it
into the encoding specified in i18n.commitencoding (or the
default, which is "utf-8") upon output.

To force a specific encoding that is different, log family takes
command line flag --encoding=<encoding>; giving --encoding=none
entirely disables the reencoding and lets you view log messges
in their original encoding.

577ed5c20b rev-list --left-right
The output from "symmetric diff", i.e. A...B, does not
distinguish between commits that are reachable from A and the
ones that are reachable from B.  In this picture, such a
symmetric diff includes commits marked with a and b.

         x---b---b  branch B
        / \ /
       /   .
      /   / \
     o---x---a---a  branch A

However, you cannot tell which ones are 'a' and which ones are
'b' from the output.  Sometimes this is frustrating.  This adds
an output option, --left-right, to rev-list.

        rev-list --left-right A...B

would show ones reachable from A prefixed with '<' and the ones
reachable from B prefixed with '>'.

When combined with --boundary, boundary commits (the ones marked
with 'x' in the above picture) are shown with prefix '-', so you
would see list that looks like this:

    git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B

    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3rd on b
    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 2nd on b
    <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 3rd on a
    <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2nd on a
    -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on b
    -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on a

ed09aef06f support fetching into a shallow repository
A shallow commit is a commit which has parents, which in turn are
"grafted away", i.e. the commit appears as if it were a root.

Since these shallow commits should not be edited by the user, but
only by core git, they are recorded in the file $GIT_DIR/shallow.

A repository containing shallow commits is called shallow.

The advantage of a shallow repository is that even if the upstream
contains lots of history, your local (shallow) repository needs not
occupy much disk space.

The disadvantage is that you might miss a merge base when pulling
some remote branch.
