Various small fixups to the "GIT_TRACE" facility.
* jk/trace-fixup:
trace: do not fall back to stderr
write_or_die: drop write_or_whine_pipe()
trace: disable key after write error
trace: correct variable name in write() error message
trace: cosmetic fixes for error messages
trace: use warning() for printing trace errors
trace: stop using write_or_whine_pipe()
trace: handle NULL argument in trace_disable()
"import-tars" fast-import script (in contrib/) used to ignore a
hardlink target and replaced it with an empty file, which has been
corrected to record the same blob as the other file the hardlink is
shared with.
* js/import-tars-hardlinks:
import-tars: support hard links
"git difftool <paths>..." started in a subdirectory failed to
interpret the paths relative to that directory, which has been
fixed.
* jk/difftool-in-subdir:
difftool: use Git::* functions instead of passing around state
difftool: avoid $GIT_DIR and $GIT_WORK_TREE
difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs
Not-so-recent rewrite of "git am" that started making internal
calls into the commit machinery had an unintended regression, in
that no matter how many seconds it took to apply many patches, the
resulting committer timestamp for the resulting commits were all
the same.
* jk/reset-ident-time-per-commit:
am: reset cached ident date for each patch
The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were
already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking
option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase
(local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local
patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones.
In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of
paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an
upstream patch has no local equivalent.
This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream
patches, and/or large ones.
Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID,
compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily.
Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those
"diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as
adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now
have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash.
We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even
test for hash collisions. This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID
lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only
patch IDs.
We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement. In
practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream
changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system
caches are cold or warm. As Git's test suite has no way of catching
performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies
that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only
computation suffices.

There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.

Users of the parse_options_concat() API function need to allocate
extra slots in advance and fill them with OPT_END() when they want

On OSX `wc` prefixes the output of numbers with whitespace, such
that the `commit_count` would be "SP <NUMBER>". When using that in
git submodule update --init --depth=$commit_count
the depth would be empty and the number is interpreted as the
pathspec. Fix this by not using `wc` and rather instruct rev-list
to count.
Another way to fix this is to remove the `=` sign after the
`--depth` argument as then we are allowed to have more than just one
whitespace between `--depth` and the actual number. Prefer the
solution of rev-list counting as that is expected to be slightly
faster and more self-contained within Git.

Avoid waking up the readers for unnecessary context switches for
each line of header data being written, as all the headers are
written in short succession.
It is unlikely any HTTP/1.x server would want to read a CGI
response one-line-at-a-time and trickle each to the client.
Instead, I'd expect HTTP servers want to minimize syscall and
TCP/IP framing overhead by trying to send all of its response
headers in a single syscall or even combining the headers and
first chunk of the body with MSG_MORE or writev.
Verified by strace-ing response parsing on the CGI side.

When developing another patch series I had a temporary state in
which git-clone would segfault, when the call was prepared in
prepare_to_clone_next_submodule. This lead to the call failing,
i.e. in `update_clone_task_finished` the task was scheduled to be
tried again. The second call to prepare_to_clone_next_submodule
would return 0, as the segfaulted clone did create the .git file
already, such that was not considered to need to be cloned again. I
was seeing the "BUG: ce was a submodule before?\n" message, which
was the correct behavior at the time as my local code was
buggy. When trying to debug this failure, I tried to use printing
messages into the strbuf that is passed around, but these messages
were never printed as the die(..) doesn't flush the `err` strbuf.
When implementing the die() in 665b35ecc (2016-06-09, "submodule--helper:
initial clone learns retry logic"), I considered this condition to be
a severe condition, which should lead to an immediate abort as we do not
trust ourselves any more. However the queued messages in `err` are valuable
so let's not toss them out by immediately dying, but a graceful return.
Another thing to note: The error message itself was misleading. A return
value of 0 doesn't indicate the passed in `ce` is not a submodule any more,
but just that we do not consider cloning it any more.
