ec8460bd91 push: better error messages when push.default = tracking
A common scenario is to create a new branch and push it (checkout -b &&
push [--set-upstream]). In this case, the user was getting "The current
branch %s has no upstream branch.", which doesn't help much.

Provide the user a command to push the current branch. To avoid the
situation in the future, suggest --set-upstream.

While we're there, also improve the error message in the "detached HEAD"
case. We mention explicitly "detached HEAD" since this is the keyword to
look for in documentations.

d131b7afea sha1_file.c: Don't retain open fds on small packs
If a pack file is small enough that its entire contents fits within
one mmap window, mmap the file and then immediately close its file
descriptor.  This reduces the number of file descriptors that are
needed to read from repositories with many tiny pack files, such
as one that has received 1000 pushes (and created 1000 small pack
files) since its last repack.

c7934306d1 Limit file descriptors used by packs
Rather than using 'errno == EMFILE' after a failed open() call
to indicate the process is out of file descriptors and an LRU
pack window should be closed, place a hard upper limit on the
number of open packs based on the actual rlimit of the process.

By using a hard upper limit that is below the rlimit of the current
process it is not necessary to check for EMFILE on every single
fd-allocating system call.  Instead reserving 25 file descriptors
makes it safe to assume the system call won't fail due to being over
the filedescriptor limit.  Here 25 is chosen as a WAG, but considers
3 for stdin/stdout/stderr, and at least a few for other Git code
to operate on temporary files.  An additional 20 is reserved as it
is not known what the C library needs to perform other services on
Git's behalf, such as nsswitch or name resolution.

This fixes a case where running `git gc --auto` in a repository
with more than 1024 packs (but an rlimit of 1024 open fds) fails
due to the temporary output file not being able to allocate a
file descriptor.  The output file is opened by pack-objects after
object enumeration and delta compression are done, both of which
have already opened all of the packs and fully populated the file
descriptor table.

by Tatsuhiko Miyagawa, using 'if (__FILE__ eq $0)' in .psgi code
(to check if script was run from command line), is not supposed to work
since Plack 0.9971.

Replace it with one of proposed solutions; while at it return $app
explicitely, rather than implicitely by being a last expression.

This affects 'plackup' web server.

The most important issue is that after unsetting `i18n.commitencoding'

containing ISO-8859-1 characters, which are invalid UTF-8 characters.

Besides it is good practice in general to clean up the state in tests.

e7cad3ccd0 git-cvsimport.perl: Bail out right away when reading from the server fails
If the CVS server is down, this reduced the git-cvsimport output from:

ssh: connect to host ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net port 22: Connection refused
Use of uninitialized value $rep in scalar chomp at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport line 369.
Use of uninitialized value $rep in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport line 370.
Expected Valid-requests from server, but got: <unknown>

to the less noisy:

ssh: connect to host ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net port 22: Connection refused
Failed to read from server at /usr/local/libexec/git-core/git-cvsimport line 370.

In this case a silent exit() instead of the die() would probably do,
but I assume that there could be cases where the connection attempt
succeeds, but reading from the server fails for other reasons.

b1c9b798a6 vcs-svn: teach line_buffer about temporary files
It can sometimes be useful to write information temporarily to file,
to read back later.  These functions allow a program to use the
line_buffer facilities when doing so.

It works like this:

 1. find a unique filename with buffer_tmpfile_init.
 2. rewind with buffer_tmpfile_rewind.  This returns a stdio
    handle for writing.
 3. when finished writing, declare so with
    buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read.  The return value indicates
    how many bytes were written.
 4. read whatever portion of the file is needed.
 5. if finished, remove the temporary file with buffer_deinit.
    otherwise, go back to step 2,

The svn support would use this to buffer the postimage from delta
application until the length is known and fast-import can receive
the resulting blob.

cc193f1f0b vcs-svn: allow character-oriented input
buffer_read_char can be used in place of buffer_read_string(1) to
avoid consuming valuable static buffer space.  The delta applier will
use this to read variable-length integers one byte at a time.

Underneath, it is fgetc, wrapped so the line_buffer library can
maintain its role as gatekeeper of input.

Later it might be worth checking if fgetc_unlocked is faster ---
most line_buffer functions are not thread-safe anyway.

e832f43c1d vcs-svn: add binary-safe read function
buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for
one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually
written.  This means that unless one is very careful about checking
for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference
between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".

So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper
around strbuf_fread.  Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller
does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

d280f68313 t0081 (line-buffer): add buffering tests
POSIX makes the behavior of read(2) from a pipe fairly clear: a read
from an empty pipe will block until there is data available and any
other read will not block, prefering to return a partial result.
Likewise, fread(3) and fgets(3) are clearly specified to act as
though implemented by calling fgetc(3) in a simple loop.  But the
buffering behavior of fgetc is less clear.

Luckily, no sane platform is going to implement fgetc by calling the
equivalent of read(2) more than once.  fgetc has to be able to
return without filling its buffer to preserve errno when errors are
encountered anyway.  So let's assume the simpler behavior (trust) but
add some tests to catch insane platforms that violate that when they
come (verify).

First check that fread can handle a 0-length read from an empty fifo.
Because open(O_RDONLY) blocks until the writing end is open, open the
writing end of the fifo in advance in a subshell.

Next try short inputs from a pipe that is not filled all the way.

Lastly (two tests) try very large inputs from a pipe that will not fit
in the relevant buffers.  The first of these tests reads a little
more than 8192 bytes, which is BUFSIZ (the size of stdio's buffers)
on this Linux machine.  The second reads a little over 64 KiB (the
pipe capacity on Linux) and is not run unless requested by setting
the GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES environment variable.

e5e45ca1e3 vcs-svn: teach line_buffer to handle multiple input files
Collect the line_buffer state in a newly public line_buffer struct.
Callers can use multiple line_buffers to manage input from multiple
files at a time.

svn-fe's delta applier will use this to stream a delta from svnrdump
and the preimage it applies to from fast-import at the same time.

The tests don't take advantage of the new features, but I think that's
okay.  It is easier to find lingering examples of nonreentrant code by
searching for "static" in line_buffer.c.

deadcef4c1 vcs-svn: replace buffer_read_string memory pool with a strbuf
obj_pool is inherently global and does not use the standard growing
factor alloc_nr, which makes it feel out of place in the git codebase.
Plus it is overkill for this application: all that is needed is a
buffer that can grow between requests to accomodate larger strings.
Use a strbuf instead.

As a side effect, this improves the error handling: allocation
failures will result in a clean exit instead of segfaults.  It would
be nice to add a test case (using ulimit or failmalloc) but that can
wait for another day.

8dc6a373d2 fast-import: add 'ls' command
Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to
keep track of the content of the imported trees _almost_ have what
they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since

 (1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
     not their mode, and

 (2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
     (mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved

Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs.  The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):

	'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF

or in fast-import's active commit:

	'ls' SP <path> LF

The response is a single line sent through the cat-blob channel,
imitating ls-tree output.  So for example:

	FE> ls :1 Documentation
	gfi> 040000 tree 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9	Documentation
	FE> ls 9e6c2b599341d28a2a375f8207507e0a2a627fe9 git-fast-import.txt
	gfi> 100644 blob 4f92954396e3f0f97e75b6838a5635b583708870	git-fast-import.txt
	FE> ls :1 RelNotes
	gfi> 120000 blob b942e49944	RelNotes
	FE> cat-blob b942e49944
	gfi> b942e49944 blob 32
	gfi> Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.4.txt

The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.

If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".

The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.

For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

c9dbab045d git-p4 submit: prevent 'Jobs' section from being removed from p4 change log
In an attempt to overwrite the 'Description:' section of the p4 change
log to include the git commit messages, it also overwrote the 'Jobs:'
section.  This fix restores the 'Job:' section.
