This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.
Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that
git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no
http[s]: or rsync: support).
The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of
"--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces
git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups,
but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just
regular tags and heads, of course.
You can still also ask to limit them by name too.
You can combine the flags, so
git peek-remote --refs --tags .
will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups
(compare the output without the "--refs" flag).
And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for
example) any special refs outside of the standard locations.
I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask
it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's
an independent thing.
All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper.

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

Stephen C. Tweedie noticed that we give up running rev-list when
we see too many refs on the remote side. Limit the number of
negative references we give to rev-list and continue.
Not sending any negative references to rev-list is very bad --
we may be pushing a ref that is new to the other end.

The new flag loosens the usual "self containedness" requirment
of packfiles, and sends deltified representation of objects when
we know the other side has the base objects needed to unpack
them. This would help reducing the transfer size.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

This updates the protocol between git-send-pack/git-receive-pack

Wnen refusing to push a head, we said cryptic "remote 'branch'
object X does not exist on local" or "remote ref 'branch' is not
a strict subset of local ref 'branch'". That was gittish.
Since the most likely reason this happens is because the pushed
head was not up-to-date, clarify the error message to say that
straight, and suggest pulling first.

It used to make sense to have git-send-pack talk about the things it sent
when (a) it was a new program and (b) nobody had a lot of tags and
branches.
These days, it's just distracting to see tons of
'refs/tags/xyz': up-to-date
...
when updating a remote repo.
So shut it up by default, and add a "--verbose" flag for those who really
want to see it.
Also, since this makes he case of everything being up-to-date just totally
silent, make it say "Everything up-to-date" if no refs needed updating.

Again I left the v2.6.11-tree tag behind. My bad.
This commit makes sure that we do not barf when pushing a ref
that is a non-commitish tag. You can update a remote ref under
the following conditions:
* You can always use --force.
* Creating a brand new ref is OK.
* If the remote ref is exactly the same as what you are
pushing, it is OK (nothing is pushed).
* You can replace a commitish with another commitish which is a
descendant of it, if you can verify the ancestry between them;
this and the above means you have to have what you are replacing.
* Otherwise you cannot update; you need to use --force.

This allows git-send-pack to push local refs to a destination
repository under different names.
Here is the name mapping rules for refs.
* If there is no ref mapping on the command line:
- if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying
<local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the
command line
- otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for
all the refs that exist on both sides.
* <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name>
* <src> ":" <dst>
push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
For example,
- "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before;
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master
to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such
ref, it is an error.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes
local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when
refs/heads/upstream does not exist.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote
repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote
ref/heads/master.

When pushing into multi-user repository, or when pushing to a
repository from a local repository that has rebased branches
that has been pruned, the destination repository can have head
commits that are missing from the local repository.
This should not matter as long as the local head of the branch
being pushed is a proper superset of the destination branch, but
we ended up trying to run rev-list telling it to exclude objects
reachable from those heads missing from the local repository,
causing it to barf. Prune those heads from the rev-list
parameter list, and make sure we do not try to push a branch
whose remote head is something we lack.

Cut-and-paste dup noticed by Junio. It's not even harmless, since a
match also causes that match to be invalidated, so this made it
impossible to update an existing branch by name.
I'd only tested the case of "ref doesn't exist at all on the other end",
which worked fine.
The protocol always supported it, but send-pack didn't actually know how
to tell the other side about a new branch/tag.
NOTE! You'll have to name it explicitly on the command line: if you
don't name any branches, git-send-pack will default to the branches that
already exist.
"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory
using a printf-like format specifier.
"head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.
This makes the receiver always send a full list of valid refs, which
will allow us to do better packs, as well as handle creation of new
refs. Eventually. Right now we just moved the matching and enabled it.
So now you can do
git-send-pack host:path branch1 branch2
to only send branches "branch1" and "branch2".
This concludes this lesson. I've actually successfully sent an update
using the git-send-pack command.
Probably tons of work still to do, and nasty debugging, but it's now
actually potentially useful.
