fe5d1d3eb4 Support 'push --dry-run' for http transport
If the end-user requested a dry-run push we need to pass that flag
over to http-push and additionally make sure it does not actually
upload any changes to the remote server.

2e13e5d892 Merge branch 'master' into db/fetch-pack
There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and
this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push.
Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not
deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the
topic.  Besides this topic somehow started to depend on
the strbuf series that was in next, but is now in master.
It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API.

  Minor usage update in setgitperms.perl
  manual: use 'URL' instead of 'url'.

30ae764b1e Modularize commit-walker
This turns the extern functions to be provided by the backend into a
struct of pointers, renames the functions to be more
namespace-friendly, and updates http-fetch to this interface. It
removes the unused include from http-push.c. It makes git-http-fetch a
builtin (with the implementation a separate file, accessible
directly).

fc57b6aaa5 Make function to refill http queue a callback
This eliminates the last function provided by the code using http.h as
a global symbol, so it should be possible to have multiple programs
using http.h in the same executable, and it also adds an argument to
that callback, so that info can be passed into the callback without
being global.

21666f1aae convert object type handling from a string to a number
We currently have two parallel notation for dealing with object types
in the code: a string and a numerical value.  One of them is obviously
redundent, and the most used one requires more stack space and a bunch
of strcmp() all over the place.

This is an initial step for the removal of the version using a char array
found in object reading code paths.  The patch is unfortunately large but
there is no sane way to split it in smaller parts without breaking the
system.

the only users of committer identity information, it made sense
to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value

to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days,
since many more programs want to use the information when updating

1c23d794bf Don't die in git-http-fetch when fetching packs.
My sp/mmap changes to pack-check.c modified the function such that
it expects packed_git.pack_size to be populated with the total
bytecount of the packfile by the caller.

But that isn't the case for packs obtained by git-http-fetch as
pack_size was not initialized before being accessed.  This caused
verify_pack to think it had 2^32-21 bytes available when the
downloaded pack perhaps was only 305 bytes in length.  The use_pack
function then later dies with "offset beyond end of packfile"
when computing the overall file checksum.

cb5d709ff8 Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions.  It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.

The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type

	int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.

The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and
builtin-pack-refs.c as an example.

e702496e43 Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them
from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction
of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.

A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*.  This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

[jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a
 patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

1f1e895fcc Add "named object array" concept
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually
grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to
name each object as it is generated.

That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful
for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody.

This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the
traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't
actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used
the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects.

The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it
really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing
over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler
(we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the
objects reversed from the order they were on the command line).

One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead
of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just
a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by
just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the
mozilla archive.

It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a
whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the
other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to
builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface
is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
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.

dd8239f997 HTTP cleanup
This ifdef's out more functions that are not used while !USE_MULTI
in http code.  Also the dependency of http related objects on http.h
header file was missing in the Makefile.

4c068a9831 tree_entry(): new tree-walking helper function
This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".

It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.

This allows tree traversal with

	struct tree_desc desc;
	struct name_entry entry;

	desc.buf = tree->buffer;
	desc.size = tree->size;
	while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
		... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
	}

which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.

[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
  pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
  Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
  it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.

  However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
  --all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
  longer the issue any more. ]

NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.

We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.
