ad5aeeded3 revision.c: introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options
Introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options which limit the
revisions to those commits which have at least (or at most) that many
commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).

In particular:

  --max-parents=1 is the same as --no-merges;
  --min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
  --max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
  --min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges

Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
for (i.e. nothing) for obvious reasons, just like when you give --merges
(show only merge commits) and --no-merges (show only non-merge commits) at
the same time.

Also, introduce --no-min-parents and --no-max-parents to do the obvious
thing for convenience.

We compute the number of parents only when we limit by that, so there
is no performance impact when there are no limiters.

Start the initial request small by halving the INITIAL_FLUSH (we will try
to stay one window ahead of the server, so we would end up giving twice as
many "have" in flight at the very beginning).  We may want to tweak these

c12f5917e4 fetch-pack: factor out hardcoded handshake window size
The "git fetch" client presents the most recent 32 commits it has to the
server and gives a chance to the server to say "ok, we heard enough", and
continues reporting what it has in chunks of 32 commits, digging its
history down to older commits.

Move the hardcoded size of the handshake window outside the code, so that
we can tweak it more easily.

0be240cc65 checkout: tweak detached-orphan warning format
When orphaning a commit on a detached HEAD, the warning
currently looks like:

  Warning: you are leaving 3 commits behind, not connected to
  any of your branches:

   - commit subject 1
   - commit subject 2
   - commit subject 3

  If you want to keep them by creating a new branch, this
  may be a good time to do so with:

     git branch new_branch_name 933a615ab0bc566dcfd8c01ec8af159f770d3fe5

Instead of using the "-" list, let's provide a more
traditional oneline format, with the abbreviated sha1 before
each subject. Users are accustomed to seeing commits in this
format, and having the sha1 of each commit can be useful if
you want to cherry-pick instead of creating a new branch.

The new format looks like:

  Warning: you are leaving 3 commits behind, not connected to
  any of your branches:

    933a615 commit subject 1
    824fcde commit subject 2
    fa49b1a commit subject 3

When leaving a detached HEAD, we do a revision walk to make

However, this leaves crufty marks in the commit objects
which can confuse later walkers, like the one in
stat_tracking_info.

36cfda1552 refs_from_alternate: helper to use refs from alternates
The receiving end of "git push" advertises the objects that the repository
itself does not use, but are at the tips of refs in other repositories
whose object databases are used as alternates for it. This helps it avoid
having to receive (and the pusher having to send) objects that are already
available to the receiving repository via the alternates mechanism.

Tweak the helper function that implements this feature, and move it to
transport.[ch] for future reuse by other programs.

The additional test demonstrates how this optimization is helping "git push",
and "git fetch" is ignorant about it.

31d713d069 mktag: avoid %td in format string
Since v1.7.0-rc0~34 (make "mktag" a built-in, 2010-01-22), git mktag
uses the C99-style %td format to print ptrdiff_t values.  It falls
back to %d when NO_C99_FORMAT is set, on the assumption that pre-C99
systems probably are using 32-bit pointers.

But many modern systems are 64-bit and

 * sometimes one wants to test the NO_C99_FORMAT fallbacks using a
   modern development platform;
 * some platforms (I'm looking at you, msvc) have not gotten with the
   program and are still C89-only.

These ptrdiff_t values are offsets from the beginning of a buffer, so
a size_t or uintmax_t would work about as well.  Use the latter so we
can take advantage of the PRIuMAX fallback in git-compat-util.h, even
on C99-challenged systems with 64-bit pointers.

9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

761ecf0bc7 fetch-pack: Implement no-done capability
If enabled on the connection "multi_ack_detailed no-done" as a
pair allows the remote upload-pack process to send a PACK down
to the client as soon as a "ACK %s ready" message was also sent.

Over git:// and ssh:// where a bi-directional stream is in place
this has very little difference over the classical version that
waits for the client to send a "done\n" line by itself.  It does
slightly reduce the latency involved to start the pack stream as
there is one less round-trip from client->server required.

Over smart HTTP this avoids needing to send a final RPC that has
all of the prior common objects.  Instead the server is able to
return a pack as soon as its ready to.  For many common users the
smart HTTP fetch is now just 2 requests: GET .../info/refs, and
a POST .../git-upload-pack to not only negotiate but also receive
the pack stream.  Only users who have more than 32 local unshared
commits with the remote will need additional requests to negotiate
a common merge base.

f2cba9299b fetch-pack: Finish negotation if remote replies "ACK %s ready"
If multi_ack_detailed was selected in the protocol capabilities
(both client and server are >= Git 1.6.6) the upload-pack side will
send "ACK %s ready" when it knows how to safely cut the graph and
produce a reasonable pack for the want list that was already sent
on the connection.

Upon receiving "ACK %s ready" there is no point in looking at
the remaining commits inside of rev_list.  Sending additional
"have %s" lines to the remote will not construct a smaller pack.
It is unlikely a commit older than the current cut point will have
a better delta base than the cut point itself has.

The original design of this code had fetch-pack empty rev_list by
marking a commit and its transitive ancestors COMMON whenever the
remote side said "ACK %s {continue,common}" and skipping over any
already COMMON commits during get_rev().  This approach does not
work when most of rev_list is actually COMMON_REF, commits that
are pointed to by a reference on the remote, which exist locally,
and which have not yet been sent to the remote as a "have %s" line.

Most of the common references are tags in the ref/tags namespace,
using points in the commit graph that are more than 1 commit apart.
In git.git itself, this is currently 340 tags, 339 of which point to
commits in the commit graph.  fetch-pack pushes all of these into
rev_list, but is unable to mark them COMMON and discard during a
remote's "ACK %s {continue,common}" because it does not parse through
the entire parent chain.  Not parsing the entire parent chain is
an optimization to avoid walking back to the roots of the repository.

Assuming the client is only following the remote (and does not make
its own local commits), the client needs 11 rounds to spin through
the entire list of tags (32 commits per round, ceil(339/32) == 11).
Unfortunately the server knows on the first "have %s" line that
it can produce a good pack, and does not need to see the remaining
320 tags in the other 10 rounds.

Over git:// and ssh:// this isn't as bad as it sounds, the client is
only transmitting an extra 16,000 bytes that it doesn't need to send.

Over smart HTTP, the client must do an additional 10 HTTP POST
requests, each of which incurs round-trip latency, and must upload
the entire state vector of all known common objects.  On the final
POST request, this is 16 KiB worth of data.

Fix all of this by clearing rev_list as soon as the remote side
says it can construct a pack.

dce9648916 Make the default abbrev length configurable
The default of 7 comes from fairly early in git development, when
seven hex digits was a lot (it covers about 250+ million hash
values). Back then I thought that 65k revisions was a lot (it was what
we were about to hit in BK), and each revision tends to be about 5-10
new objects or so, so a million objects was a big number.

These days, the kernel isn't even the largest git project, and even
the kernel has about 220k revisions (_much_ bigger than the BK tree
ever was) and we are approaching two million objects. At that point,
seven hex digits is still unique for a lot of them, but when we're
talking about just two orders of magnitude difference between number
of objects and the hash size, there _will_ be collisions in truncated
hash values. It's no longer even close to unrealistic - it happens all
the time.

We should both increase the default abbrev that was unrealistically
small, _and_ add a way for people to set their own default per-project
in the git config file.

This is the first step to first make it configurable; the default of 7
is not raised yet.
