bdfdaa4978 strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentation
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.

Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code.  The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.

This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:

 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
    to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
    may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
    it.

 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
    as it is available in the context directly below.  So:

      `strbuf_add`::

          Add data of given length to the buffer.

    from api-strbuf.txt becomes:

      /**
       * Add data of given length to the buffer.
       */
      void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);

    As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
    for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
    blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
    are not in a list item).

 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
    and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
    version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
    redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
    documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
    this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
    be seen directly below the comment.

 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
    the ordering of the API documentation, under the
    assumption that more thought went into the grouping
    there.

59b386526a credential: let helpers tell us to quit
When we are trying to fill a credential, we loop over the
set of defined credential-helpers, then fall back to running
askpass, and then finally prompt on the terminal. Helpers
which cannot find a credential are free to tell us nothing,
but they cannot currently ask us to stop prompting.

This patch lets them provide a "quit" attribute, which asks
us to stop the process entirely (avoiding running more
helpers, as well as the askpass/terminal prompt).

This has a few possible uses:

  1. A helper which prompts the user itself (e.g., in a
     dialog) can provide a "cancel" button to the user to
     stop further prompts.

  2. Some helpers may know that prompting cannot possibly
     work. For example, if their role is to broker a ticket
     from an external auth system and that auth system
     cannot be contacted, there is no point in continuing
     (we need a ticket to authenticate, and the user cannot
     provide one by typing it in).

013870cd2c fdopen_lock_file(): access a lockfile using stdio
Add a new function, fdopen_lock_file(), which returns a FILE pointer
open to the lockfile. If a stream is open on a lock_file object, it is
closed using fclose() on commit, rollback, or close_lock_file().

This change will allow callers to use stdio to write to a lockfile
without having to muck around in the internal representation of the
lock_file object (callers will be rewritten in upcoming commits).

8e86c155d2 close_lock_file(): if close fails, roll back
If closing an open lockfile fails, then we cannot be sure of the
contents of the lockfile, so there is nothing sensible to do but
delete it. This change also insures that the lock_file object is left
in a defined state in this error path (namely, unlocked).

The only caller that is ultimately affected by this change is
try_merge_strategy() -> write_locked_index(), which can call
close_lock_file() via various execution paths. This caller uses a
static lock_file object which previously could have been reused after
a failed close_lock_file() even though it was still in locked state.
This change causes the lock_file object to be unlocked on failure,
thus fixing this error-handling path.

8a1c7533e2 commit_lock_file(): die() if called for unlocked lockfile object
It was previously a bug to call commit_lock_file() with a lock_file
object that was not active (an illegal access would happen within the
function).  It was presumably never done, but this would be an easy
programming error to overlook.  So before continuing, do a consistency
check that the lock_file object really is locked.

3ac22f82ed add macro REALLOC_ARRAY
The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.

Sometimes this is too much.  Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store.  It can increase and also decrease
the size.  Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and
takes care of the item sizes automatically.

b89363e4a5 signed push: fortify against replay attacks
In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate.  The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.

The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

9be89160e7 signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificate
Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after
anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee
URL" header.  Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels,
proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving
repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing
users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over
ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same
repository but with different local part of the path).  So this
value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention
purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to
identify the repository the certificate refers to.

4adf569dea signed push: remove duplicated protocol info
With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even
though we already send a signed copy of the same information when
push certificate is in use.  Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair
not to do so.

The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure
that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet
outside the push certificate.  Otherwise a pusher can claim to be
pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while
issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will
evade later audits.

Finally, start documenting the protocol.

5a80e97c82 config: add git_die_config() to the config-set API
Add `git_die_config` that dies printing the line number and the file name
of the highest priority value for the configuration variable `key`. A custom
error message is also printed before dying, specified by the caller, which can
be skipped if `err` argument is set to NULL.

It has usage in non-callback based config value retrieval where we can
raise an error and die if there is a semantic error.
For example,

	if (!git_config_get_value(key, &value)){
		if (!strcmp(value, "foo"))
			git_config_die(key, "value: `%s` is illegal", value);
		else
			/* do work */

3c8687a73e add config_set API for caching config-like files
Currently `git_config()` uses a callback mechanism and file rereads for
config values. Due to this approach, it is not uncommon for the config
files to be parsed several times during the run of a git program, with
different callbacks picking out different variables useful to themselves.

Add a `config_set`, that can be used to construct an in-memory cache for
config-like files that the caller specifies (i.e., files like `.gitmodules`,
`~/.gitconfig` etc.). Add two external functions `git_configset_get_value`
and `git_configset_get_value_multi` for querying from the config sets.
`git_configset_get_value` follows `last one wins` semantic (i.e. if there
are multiple matches for the queried key in the files of the configset the
value returned will be the last entry in `value_list`).
`git_configset_get_value_multi` returns a list of values sorted in order of
increasing priority (i.e. last match will be at the end of the list). Add
type specific query functions like `git_configset_get_bool` and similar.

Add a default `config_set`, `the_config_set` to cache all key-value pairs
read from usual config files (repo specific .git/config, user wide
~/.gitconfig, XDG config and the global /etc/gitconfig). `the_config_set`
is populated using `git_config()`.

Add two external functions `git_config_get_value` and
`git_config_get_value_multi` for querying in a non-callback manner from
`the_config_set`. Also, add type specific query functions that are
implemented as a thin wrapper around the `config_set` API.

Interning short strings with high probability of duplicates can reduce the
memory footprint and speed up comparisons.

Add strintern() and memintern() APIs that use a hashmap to manage the pool
of unique, interned strings.

Note: strintern(getenv()) could be used to sanitize git's use of getenv(),
in case we ever encounter a platform where a call to getenv() invalidates
previous getenv() results (which is allowed by POSIX).

ab73a9d119 hashmap: add simplified hashmap_get_from_hash() API
Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:

  struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
  hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
  return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);

Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just
specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.:

  return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key);

5fc2fc8fa2 read-cache: split-index mode
This split-index mode is designed to keep write cost proportional to
the number of changes the user has made, not the size of the work
tree. (Read cost is another matter, to be dealt separately.)

This mode stores index info in a pair of $GIT_DIR/index and
$GIT_DIR/sharedindex.<SHA-1>. sharedindex is large and unchanged over
time while "index" is smaller and updated often. Format details are in
index-format.txt, although not everything is implemented in this
patch.

Shared indexes are not automatically removed, because it's unclear if
the shared index is needed by any (even temporary) indexes by just
looking at it. After a while you'll collect stale shared indexes. The
good news is one shared index is useable for long, until
$GIT_DIR/index becomes too big and sluggish that the new shared index
must be created.

The safest way to clean shared indexes is to turn off split index
mode, so shared files are all garbage, delete them all, then turn on
split index mode again.

acb3d22264 string-list: spell all values out that are given to a string_list initializer
STRING_LIST_INIT_{NODUP,DUP} initializers list values only
for earlier structure members, relying on the usual
convention in C that the omitted members are initailized to
0, i.e. the former is expanded to the latter:

	struct string_list l = STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP;
	struct string_list l = { NULL, 0, 0, 1 };

and the last member that is not mentioned (i.e. 'cmp') is
initialized to NULL.

While there is nothing wrong in this construct, spelling out
all the values where the macros are defined will serve also
as a documentation, so let's do so.

This makes config's lowercase() function obsolete, though
note that because we have a strbuf, we are careful to

NUL is the end-of-string.

We could continue to offer a pure-string lowercase, but
there would be no callers (in most pure-string cases, we
actually duplicate and lowercase the duplicate, for which we
have the xstrdup_tolower wrapper).

c460c0ecdc run-command: store an optional argv_array
All child_process structs need to point to an argv. For
flexibility, we do not mandate the use of a dynamic
argv_array. However, because the child_process does not own
the memory, this can make memory management with a
separate argv_array difficult.

For example, if a function calls start_command but not
finish_command, the argv memory must persist. The code needs
to arrange to clean up the argv_array separately after
finish_command runs. As a result, some of our code in this
situation just leaks the memory.

To help such cases, this patch adds a built-in argv_array to
the child_process, which gets cleaned up automatically (both
in finish_command and when start_command fails).  Callers
may use it if they choose, but can continue to use the raw
argv if they wish.

2df85669d1 Documentation: fix documentation AsciiDoc links for external urls
Turns out that putting 'link:' before the 'http' is actually superfluous
in AsciiDoc, as there's already a predefined macro to handle it.

"http, https, [etc] URLs are rendered using predefined inline macros."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_urls

"Hypertext links to files on the local file system are specified
using the link inline macro."
http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/userguide.html#_linking_to_local_documents

Despite being superfluous, the reference implementation of AsciiDoc
tolerates the extra 'link:' and silently removes it, giving a functioning
link in the generated HTML. However, AsciiDoctor (the Ruby implementation
of AsciiDoc used to render the http://git-scm.com/ site) does /not/ have
this behaviour, and so generates broken links, as can be seen here:

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-cvsimport (links to cvs2git & parsecvs)
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-filter-branch (link to The BFG)

It's worth noting that after this change, the html generated by 'make html'
in the git project is identical, and all links still work.

ae4f07fbcc pack-bitmap: implement optional name_hash cache
When we use pack bitmaps rather than walking the object
graph, we end up with the list of objects to include in the
packfile, but we do not know the path at which any tree or
blob objects would be found.

In a recently packed repository, this is fine. A fetch would
use the paths only as a heuristic in the delta compression
phase, and a fully packed repository should not need to do
much delta compression.

As time passes, though, we may acquire more objects on top
of our large bitmapped pack. If clients fetch frequently,
then they never even look at the bitmapped history, and all
works as usual. However, a client who has not fetched since
the last bitmap repack will have "have" tips in the
bitmapped history, but "want" newer objects.

The bitmaps themselves degrade gracefully in this
circumstance. We manually walk the more recent bits of
history, and then use bitmaps when we hit them.

But we would also like to perform delta compression between
the newer objects and the bitmapped objects (both to delta
against what we know the user already has, but also between
"new" and "old" objects that the user is fetching). The lack
of pathnames makes our delta heuristics much less effective.

This patch adds an optional cache of the 32-bit name_hash
values to the end of the bitmap file. If present, a reader
can use it to match bitmapped and non-bitmapped names during
delta compression.

Here are perf results for p5310:

Test                      origin/master       HEAD^                      HEAD
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5310.2: repack to disk    36.81(37.82+1.43)   47.70(48.74+1.41) +29.6%   47.75(48.70+1.51) +29.7%
5310.3: simulated clone   30.78(29.70+2.14)   1.08(0.97+0.10) -96.5%     1.07(0.94+0.12) -96.5%
5310.4: simulated fetch   3.16(6.10+0.08)     3.54(10.65+0.06) +12.0%    1.70(3.07+0.06) -46.2%
5310.6: partial bitmap    36.76(43.19+1.81)   6.71(11.25+0.76) -81.7%    4.08(6.26+0.46) -88.9%

You can see that the time spent on an incremental fetch goes
down, as our delta heuristics are able to do their work.
And we save time on the partial bitmap clone for the same
reason.

The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.

This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.

ad491366de make the sender advertise shallow commits to the receiver
If either receive-pack or upload-pack is called on a shallow
repository, shallow commits (*) will be sent after the ref
advertisement (but before the packet flush), so that the receiver has
the full "shape" of the sender's commit graph. This will be needed for
the receiver to update its .git/shallow if necessary.

This breaks the protocol for all clients trying to push to a shallow
repo, or fetch from one. Which is basically the same end result as
today's "is_repository_shallow() && die()" in receive-pack and
upload-pack. New clients will be made aware of shallow upstream and
can make use of this information.

The sender must send all shallow commits that are sent in the
following pack. It may send more shallow commits than necessary.

upload-pack for example may choose to advertise no shallow commits if
it knows in advance that the pack it's going to send contains no
shallow commits. But upload-pack is the server, so we choose the
cheaper way, send full .git/shallow and let the client deal with it.

Smart HTTP is not affected by this patch. Shallow support on
smart-http comes later separately.

(*) A shallow commit is a commit that terminates the revision
    walker. It is usually put in .git/shallow in order to keep the
    revision walker from going out of bound because there is no
    guarantee that objects behind this commit is available.

6a364ced49 add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal
The existing hashtable implementation (in hash.[ch]) uses open addressing
(i.e. resolve hash collisions by distributing entries across the table).
Thus, removal is difficult to implement with less than O(n) complexity.
Resolving collisions of entries with identical hashes (e.g. via chaining)
is left to the client code.

Add a hashtable implementation that supports O(1) removal and is slightly
easier to use due to builtin entry chaining.

Supports all basic operations init, free, get, add, remove and iteration.

Also includes ready-to-use hash functions based on the public domain FNV-1
algorithm (http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/fnv).

The per-entry data structure (hashmap_entry) is piggybacked in front of
the client's data structure to save memory. See test-hashmap.c for usage
examples.

The hashtable is resized by a factor of four when 80% full. With these
settings, average memory consumption is about 2/3 of hash.[ch], and
insertion is about twice as fast due to less frequent resizing.

Lookups are also slightly faster, because entries are strictly confined to
their bucket (i.e. no data of other buckets needs to be traversed).

The protocol-capabilities documentation notes that any
capabilities not explicitly mentioned for receive-pack work
only for upload-pack.

Receive-pack has advertised and understood side-band-64k
since 38a81b4 (receive-pack: Wrap status reports inside
side-band-64k, 2010-02-05), but we do not mention it
explicitly. Let's do so.

Note that receive-pack does not understand side-band, which
was obsolete by that point.

8f4f8f4579 guard against new pathspec magic in pathspec matching code
GUARD_PATHSPEC() marks pathspec-sensitive code, basically all those
that touch anything in 'struct pathspec' except fields "nr" and
"original". GUARD_PATHSPEC() is not supposed to fail. It's mainly to
help the designers catch unsupported codepaths.

87323bdace add parse_pathspec() that converts cmdline args to struct pathspec
Currently to fill a struct pathspec, we do:

   const char **paths;
   paths = get_pathspec(prefix, argv);
   ...
   init_pathspec(&pathspec, paths);

"paths" can only carry bare strings, which loses information from
command line arguments such as pathspec magic or the prefix part's
length for each argument.

parse_pathspec() is introduced to combine the two calls into one. The
plan is gradually replace all get_pathspec() and init_pathspec() with
parse_pathspec(). get_pathspec() now becomes a thin wrapper of
parse_pathspec().

parse_pathspec() allows the caller to reject the pathspec magics that
it does not support. When a new pathspec magic is introduced, we can
enable it per command after making sure that all underlying code has no
problem with the new magic.

"flags" parameter is currently unused. But it would allow callers to
pass certain instructions to parse_pathspec, for example forcing
literal pathspec when no magic is used.

With the introduction of parse_pathspec, there are now two functions
that can initialize struct pathspec: init_pathspec and
parse_pathspec. Any semantic changes in struct pathspec must be
reflected in both functions. init_pathspec() will be phased out in
favor of parse_pathspec().

6c374008b1 diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
   at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
   opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
   machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

af04fa2a78 upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids
When the client sends a 'shallow' line for an object that the server does
not have, the server currently dies with the error: "did not find object
for shallow <obj-id>".  The client may have truncated the history at
the commit by fetching shallowly from a different server, or the commit
may have been garbage collected by the server. In either case, this
unknown commit is not relevant for calculating the pack that is to be
sent and can be safely ignored, and it is not used when recomputing where
the updated history of the client is cauterised.

The documentation in technical/pack-protocol.txt has been updated to
remove the restriction that "Clients MUST NOT mention an obj-id which it
does not know exists on the server". This requirement is not realistic
because clients cannot know whether an object has been garbage collected
by the server.

0aaf62b6e0 dir.c: git-status --ignored: don't scan the work tree twice
'git-status --ignored' still scans the work tree twice to collect
untracked and ignored files, respectively.

fill_directory / read_directory already supports collecting untracked and
ignored files in a single directory scan. However, the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED
flag to enable this has some git-add specific side-effects (e.g. it
doesn't recurse into ignored directories, so listing ignored files with
--untracked=all doesn't work).

The DIR_SHOW_IGNORED flag doesn't list untracked files and returns ignored
files in dir_struct.entries[] (instead of dir_struct.ignored[] as
DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED). DIR_SHOW_IGNORED is used all throughout git.

We don't want to break the existing API, so lets introduce a new flag
DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO that lists untracked as well as ignored files similar
to DIR_COLLECT_FILES, but will recurse into sub-directories based on the
other flags as DIR_SHOW_IGNORED does.

In dir.c::read_directory_recursive, add ignored files to either
dir_struct.entries[] or dir_struct.ignored[] based on the flags. Also move
the DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED case here so that filling result lists is in a
common place.

In wt-status.c::wt_status_collect_untracked, use the new flag and read
results from dir_struct.ignored[]. Remove the extra fill_directory call.

builtin/check-ignore.c doesn't call fill_directory, setting the git-add
specific DIR_COLLECT_IGNORED flag has no effect here. Remove for clarity.

Update API documentation to reflect the changes.

Performance: with this patch, 'git-status --ignored' is typically as fast
as 'git-status'.
