Here is a 'feature' command for streams to use to require support for
the notemodify (N) command.
When the 'feature' facility was introduced (v1.7.0-rc0~95^2~4,
2009-12-04), the notes import feature was old news (v1.6.6-rc0~21^2~8,
2009-10-09) and it was not obvious it deserved to be a named feature.
But now that is clear, since all major non-git fast-import backends
lack support for it.
Details: on git version with this patch applied, any "feature notes"
command in the features/options section at the beginning of a stream
will be treated as a no-op. On fast-import implementations without
the feature (and older git versions), the command instead errors out
with a message like
This version of fast-import does not support feature notes.
So by declaring use of notes at the beginning of a stream, frontends
can avoid wasting time and other resources when the backend does not
support notes. (This would be especially important for backends that
do not support rewinding history after a botched import.)

Normal git processes do not allow one to build a tree with an empty
subtree entry without trying hard at it. This is in keeping with the
general UI philosophy: git tracks content, not empty directories.
v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (2010-06-30) changed that by making it easy to include
an empty subtree in fast-import's active commit:
M 040000 4b825dc642 subdir
One can trigger this by reading an empty tree (for example, the tree
corresponding to an empty root commit) and trying to move it to a
subtree. It is better and more closely analogous to 'git read-tree
--prefix' to treat such commands as requests to remove the subtree.

The new rule: a "cat-blob" can be inserted wherever a comment is
allowed, which means at the start of any line except in the middle of
a "data" command.
This saves frontends from having to loop over everything they want to
commit in the next commit and cat-ing the necessary objects in
advance.

New objects written by fast-import are not available immediately.
Until a checkpoint has been started and finishes writing the pack
index, any new blobs will not be accessible using standard git tools.
So introduce a new way to access them: a "cat-blob" command in the
command stream requests for fast-import to print a blob to stdout or a
file descriptor specified by the argument to --cat-blob-fd. The value
for cat-blob-fd cannot be specified in the stream because that would
be a layering violation: the decision of where to direct a stream has
to be made when fast-import is started anyway, so we might as well
make the stream format is independent of that detail.
Output uses the same format as "git cat-file --batch".
Thanks to Sverre Rabbelier and Sam Vilain for guidance in designing
the protocol.

t9300 (fast-import): another test for the "replace root" feature
fast-import: tighten M 040000 syntax
fast-import: filemodify after M 040000 <tree> "" crashes
It can be tedious to wait for a multi-million-revision import.
Unfortunately it is hard to spy on the import because fast-import
works by continuously streaming out objects, without updating the pack
index or refs until a checkpoint command or the end of the stream.
So allow the impatient operator to request checkpoints by sending a
signal, like so:
killall -USR1 git-fast-import
When receiving such a signal, fast-import would schedule a checkpoint
to take place after the current top-level command (usually a "commit"
or "blob" request) finishes.
Caveats: just like ordinary checkpoint commands, such requests slow
down the import. Switching to a new pack at a suboptimal moment is
also likely to result in a less dense initial collection of packs.
That's the price.

Commit 5edde51 (fast-import: filemodify after M 040000 <tree> ""
crashes, 2010-10-17) taught fast-import to load trees from the
object db as needed when it is time to access them.
But it went too far. In change_note_fanout(), an empty,
not-loaded tree is not meant to destroy notes, so calling
load_tree() at that point is exactly the wrong thing to do.
Kudos to Johan Herland for t9301, which caught this failure.

When tree_content_set() is asked to modify the path "foo/bar/",
it first recurses like so:
tree_content_set(root, "foo/bar/", sha1, S_IFDIR) ->
tree_content_set(root:foo, "bar/", ...) ->
tree_content_set(root:foo/bar, "", ...)
And as a side-effect of 2794ad5 (fast-import: Allow filemodify to set
the root, 2010-10-10), this last call is accepted and changes
the tree entry for root:foo/bar to refer to the specified tree.
That seems safe enough but let's reject the new syntax (we never meant
to support it) and make it harder for frontends to introduce pointless
incompatibilities with git fast-import 1.7.3.

Until M 040000 <tree> "" syntax was introduced in commit 2794ad5
(fast-import: Allow filemodify to set the root, 2010-10-10), it
was impossible for the root entry to refer to an unloaded tree.
Update various functions to take that possibility into account.

v1.7.3-rc0~75^2 (Teach fast-import to import subtrees named by tree id,
2010-06-30) has a shortcoming - it doesn't allow the root to be set.
Extend this behaviour by allowing the root to be referenced as the
empty path, "".
For a command (like filter-branch --subdirectory-filter) that wants
to commit a lot of trees that already exist in the object db, writing
undeltified objects as loose files only to repack them later can
involve a significant amount of overhead.
(23% slow-down observed on Linux 2.6.35, worse on Mac OS X 10.6)
Fortunately we have fast-import (which is one of the only git commands
that will write to a pack directly) but there is not an advertised way
to tell fast-import to commit a given tree without unpacking it.
This patch changes that, by allowing
M 040000 <tree id> ""
as a filemodify line in a commit to reset to a particular tree without
any need to parse it. For example,
M 040000 4b825dc642 ""
is a synonym for the deleteall command and the fast-import equivalent of
git read-tree 4b825dc642

dump_marks_helper() has a bug when dumping marks larger than 2^20-1,
i.e., when the sparse array has more than two levels. The bug was
that the 'base' counter was being shifted by 20 bits at level 3, and
then again by 10 bits at level 2, rather than a total shift of 20 bits
in this argument to the recursive call:
(base + k) << m->shift
There are two ways to fix this correctly, the elegant:
(base + k) << 10
and the one I chose due to edit distance:
base + (k << m->shift)

When older versions of fast-export came across a directory changing to a
symlink (or regular file), it would output the changes in the form
M 120000 :239821 dir-changing-to-symlink
D dir-changing-to-symlink/filename1
When fast-import sees the first line, it deletes the directory named
dir-changing-to-symlink (and any files below it) and creates a symlink in
its place. When fast-import came across the second line, it was previously
trying to remove the file and relevant leading directories in
tree_content_remove(), and as a side effect it would delete the symlink
that was just created. This resulted in the symlink silently missing from
the resulting repository.
To improve robustness, we ignore file deletions underneath directory names
that correspond to non-directories. This can also be viewed as a minor
optimization: since there cannot be a file and a directory with the same
name in the same directory, the file clearly can't exist so nothing needs
to be done to delete it.

To simulate the svn cp command, it would be very useful to be

Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is

While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs"

This patch teaches 'git fast-import' to automatically organize note objects
in a fast-import stream into an appropriate fanout structure. The notes API
in notes.h is NOT used to accomplish this, because trying to keep the
fast-import and notes data structures in sync would yield a significantly
larger patch with higher complexity.
Note objects are added with the 'N' command, and accounted for with a
per-branch counter, which is used to trigger fanout restructuring when
needed. Note that when restructuring the branch tree, _any_ entry whose
path consists of 40 hex chars (not including directory separators) will
be recognized as a note object. It is therefore not advisable to
manipulate note entries with M/D/R/C commands.
Since note objects are stored in the same tree structure as other objects,
the unloading and reloading of a fast-import branches handle note objects
transparently.

After specifying 'feature relative-marks' the paths specified with
'feature import-marks' and 'feature export-marks' are relative to an
internal directory in the current repository.
In git-fast-import this means that the paths are relative to the
'.git/info/fast-import' directory. However, other importers may use a
different location.
Add 'feature non-relative-marks' to disable this behavior, this way
it is possible to, for example, specify the import-marks location as
relative, and the export-marks location as non-relative.
Also add tests to verify this behavior.
