78a8d641c1 Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.

This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system.  A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).

Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

d7f4633405 Make AutoCRLF ternary variable.
This allows you to do:

	[core]
		AutoCRLF = input

and it should do only the CRLF->LF translation (ie it simplifies CRLF only
when reading working tree files, but when checking out files, it leaves
the LF alone, and doesn't turn it into a CRLF).

6c510bee20 Lazy man's auto-CRLF
It currently does NOT know about file attributes, so it does its
conversion purely based on content. Maybe that is more in the "git
philosophy" anyway, since content is king, but I think we should try to do
the file attributes to turn it off on demand.

Anyway, BY DEFAULT it is off regardless, because it requires a

	[core]
		AutoCRLF = true

in your config file to be enabled. We could make that the default for
Windows, of course, the same way we do some other things (filemode etc).

But you can actually enable it on UNIX, and it will cause:

 - "git update-index" will write blobs without CRLF
 - "git diff" will diff working tree files without CRLF
 - "git checkout" will write files to the working tree _with_ CRLF

and things work fine.

Funnily, it actually shows an odd file in git itself:

	git clone -n git test-crlf
	cd test-crlf
	git config core.autocrlf true
	git checkout
	git diff

shows a diff for "Documentation/docbook-xsl.css". Why? Because we have
actually checked in that file *with* CRLF! So when "core.autocrlf" is
true, we'll always generate a *different* hash for it in the index,
because the index hash will be for the content _without_ CRLF.

Is this complete? I dunno. It seems to work for me. It doesn't use the
filename at all right now, and that's probably a deficiency (we could
certainly make the "is_binary()" heuristics also take standard filename
heuristics into account).

I don't pass in the filename at all for the "index_fd()" case
(git-update-index), so that would need to be passed around, but this
actually works fine.

NOTE NOTE NOTE! The "is_binary()" heuristics are totally made-up by yours
truly. I will not guarantee that they work at all reasonable. Caveat
emptor. But it _is_ simple, and it _is_ safe, since it's all off by
default.

The patch is pretty simple - the biggest part is the new "convert.c" file,
but even that is really just basic stuff that anybody can write in
"Teaching C 101" as a final project for their first class in programming.
Not to say that it's bug-free, of course - but at least we're not talking
about rocket surgery here.

Sometimes its necessary to supply a value as a power of two in a
configuration parameter.  In this case the user may want to use the
standard suffixes such as K, M, or G to indicate that the numerical

c4712e4553 Replace mmap with xmmap, better handling MAP_FAILED.
In some cases we did not even bother to check the return value of
mmap() and just assume it worked.  This is bad, because if we are
out of virtual address space the kernel returned MAP_FAILED and we
would attempt to dereference that address, segfaulting without any
real error output to the user.

We are replacing all calls to mmap() with xmmap() and moving all
MAP_FAILED checking into that single location.  If a mmap call
fails we try to release enough least-recently-used pack windows
to possibly succeed, then retry the mmap() attempt.  If we cannot
mmap even after releasing pack memory then we die() as none of our
callers have any reasonable recovery strategy for a failed mmap.

40be82723c Ensure core.packedGitWindowSize cannot be less than 2 pages.
We cannot allow a window to be smaller than 2 system pages.
This limitation is necessary to support the feature of use_pack()
where we always supply at least 20 bytes after the offset to help
the object header and delta base parsing routines.

If packedGitWindowSize were allowed to be as small as 1 system page
then we would be completely unable to access an object header which
spanned over a page as we would never be able to arrange a mapping
such that the header was contiguous in virtual memory.

60bb8b1453 Fully activate the sliding window pack access.
This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.

We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset.  This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.

In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window.  This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.

I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary
buffer prior to parsing, or to check the window range on every byte
during header parsing.  We may decide to revisit this decision in
the future since this is just a gut instinct decision and has not
actually been proven out by experimental testing.

77ccc5bbd1 Introduce new config option for mmap limit.
Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a
per-repository basis depending on the size of the repository
and the capabilities of their operating system.

In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window
implementation.

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.

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of

     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

a159ca0cb7 Allow subcommand.color and color.subcommand color configuration
While adding colour to the branch command it was pointed out that a
config option like "branch.color" conflicts with the pre-existing
"branch.something" namespace used for specifying default merge urls and
branches.  The suggested solution was to flip the order of the
components to "color.branch", which I did for colourising branch.

This patch does the same thing for
  - git-log (color.diff)
  - git-status (color.status)
  - git-diff (color.diff)
  - pager (color.pager)

I haven't removed the old config options; but they should probably be
deprecated and eventually removed to prevent future namespace
collisions.  I've done this deprecation by changing the documentation
for the config file to match the new names; and adding the "color.XXX"
options to contrib/completion/git-completion.bash.

Unfortunately git-svn reads "diff.color" and "pager.color"; which I
don't like to change unilaterally.

93821bd97a sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.

A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.

Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.

5f1a63e0ef Read configuration also from $HOME/.gitconfig
This patch is based on Pasky's, with three notable differences:

- I did not yet update the documentation
- I named it .gitconfig, not .gitrc
- git-repo-config does not barf when a unique key is overridden locally

The last means that if you have something like

	[alias]
		l = log --stat -M

in ~/.gitconfig, and

	[alias]
		l = log --stat -M next..

in $GIT_DIR/config, then

	git-repo-config alias.l

returns only one value, namely the value from $GIT_DIR/config.

If you set the environment variable GIT_CONFIG, $HOME/.gitconfig is not
read, and neither $GIT_DIR/config, but $GIT_CONFIG instead.

If you set GIT_CONFIG_LOCAL instead, it is interpreted instead of
$GIT_DIR/config, but $HOME/.gitconfig is still read.

138086a725 shared repository - add a few missing calls to adjust_shared_perm().
There were a few calls to adjust_shared_perm() that were
missing:

 - init-db creates refs, refs/heads, and refs/tags before
   reading from templates that could specify sharedrepository in
   the config file;

 - updating config file created it under user's umask without
   adjusting;

 - updating refs created it under user's umask without
   adjusting;

 - switching branches created .git/HEAD under user's umask
   without adjusting.

This moves adjust_shared_perm() from sha1_file.c to path.c,
since a few SIMPLE_PROGRAM need to call repository configuration
functions which in turn need to call adjust_shared_perm().
sha1_file.c needs to link with SHA1 computation library which
is usually not linked to SIMPLE_PROGRAM.

d14f776402 git config syntax updates
This updates the hierarchical section name syntax to

	[section<space>+"<randomstring>"]

where the only rule for "randomstring" is that it can't contain a newline,
and if you really want to insert a double-quote, you do it with \".

It turns that into the section name "secion.randomstring".  The
"section" part is still case insensitive, but the "randomstring"
part is case sensitive.

So you could use this for things like

	[email "torvalds@osdl.org"]
		name = Linus Torvalds

if you wanted to do the "email->name" conversion as part of the config
file format (I'm not claiming that is sensible, I'm just giving it as an
insane example). That would show up as the association

	email.torvalds@osdl.org.name -> Linus Torvalds

which is easy to parse (the "." in the email _looks_ ambiguous, but it
isn't: you know that there will always be a single key-name, so you find
the key name with "strrchr(name, '.')" and things are entirely
unambiguous).

Repo-config is updated to be able to parse the new format, and also
write things out in the new format.

[jc: rolled two patches from Linus and one fix-up from Sean into one,
 with additional adjustments for t/t1300 test to check the case
 insensitiveness of section base and variable and case sensitiveness
 of the extended section part.  Then stripped some part off to make
 the result applicable to the stale 1.3.X series that does not have
 recent enhancements. ]

bdf0ef0824 Another config file parsing fix.
If the variable we need to store should go into a section
that currently only has a single variable (not matching
the one we're trying to insert), we will already be into
the next section before we notice we've bypassed the correct
location to insert the variable.

To handle this case we store the current location as soon
as we find a variable matching the section of our new
variable.

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'.

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.

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.
