Since git-upload-pack has to spawn git-pack-objects, it has to make sure
that the latter can be found in the PATH. Without this patch an attempt
to clone or pull via ssh from a server fails if the git tools are not in

invoked with --upload-pack=/path/to/git-upload-pack.

upload-pack spawns two processes, rev-list and pack-objects, and carefully
monitors their status so that it can report failure to the remote end.
This change removes the complicated procedures on the grounds of the
following observations:
- If everything is OK, rev-list closes its output pipe end, upon which
pack-objects (which reads from the pipe) sees EOF and terminates itself,
closing its output (and error) pipes. upload-pack reads from both until
it sees EOF in both. It collects the exit codes of the child processes
(which indicate success) and terminates successfully.
- If rev-list sees an error, it closes its output and terminates with
failure. pack-objects sees EOF in its input and terminates successfully.
Again upload-pack reads its inputs until EOF. When it now collects
the exit codes of its child processes, it notices the failure of rev-list
and signals failure to the remote end.
- If pack-objects sees an error, it terminates with failure. Since this
breaks the pipe to rev-list, rev-list is killed with SIGPIPE.
upload-pack reads its input until EOF, then collects the exit codes of
the child processes, notices their failures, and signals failure to the
remote end.
- If upload-pack itself dies unexpectedly, pack-objects is killed with
SIGPIPE, and subsequently also rev-list.
The upshot of this is that precise monitoring of child processes is not
required because both terminate if either one of them dies unexpectedly.
This allows us to use finish_command() and finish_async() instead of
an explicit waitpid(2) call.
The change is smaller than it looks because most of it only reduces the
indentation of a large part of the inner loop.

* 'js/fetch-progress' (early part):
Fixup no-progress for fetch & clone
fetch & clone: do not output progress when not on a tty
Conflicts:
git-fetch.sh
The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).
However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".
This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.
A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

A shallow commit is a commit which has parents, which in turn are
"grafted away", i.e. the commit appears as if it were a root.
Since these shallow commits should not be edited by the user, but
only by core git, they are recorded in the file $GIT_DIR/shallow.
A repository containing shallow commits is called shallow.
The advantage of a shallow repository is that even if the upstream
contains lots of history, your local (shallow) repository needs not
occupy much disk space.

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.

This implements three things (trying very hard to be backwards
compatible):
It sends the "multi_ack" capability via the mechanism proposed by
Sergey Vlasov.
When the client sends "multi_ack" with at least one "want", multi_ack
is enabled.
When multi_ack is enabled, "continue" is appended to each "ACK" until
either the server can not store more refs, or "done" is received.
In contrast to the original protocol, as long as "continue" is sent,
flushes are answered by a "NAK" (not just until an "ACK" was sent),
and if "continue" was sent at least once, the last message is an
"ACK" without "continue".

The current fetch/upload protocol works like this:
- client sends revs it wants to have via "want" messages
- client sends a flush message (message with len 0)
- client sends revs it has via "have" messages
- after one window (32 revs), a flush is sent
- after each subsequent window, a flush is sent, and an ACK/NAK is received.
(NAK means that server does not have any of the transmitted revs;
ACK sends also the sha1 of the rev server has)
- when the first ACK is received, client sends "done", and does not expect
any further messages
One special case, though:
- if no ACK is received (only NAK's), and client runs out of revs to send,
"done" is sent, and server sends just one more "NAK"
A smarter scheme, which actually has a chance to detect more than one
common rev, would be to send more than just one ACK. This patch implements
the server side of the following extension to the protocol:
- client sends at least one "want" message with "multi_ack" appended, like
"want 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 multi_ack"
- if the server understands that extension, it will send ACK messages for all
revs it has, not just the first one
- server appends "continue" to the ACK messages like
"ACK 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 continue"
until it has MAX_HAS-1 revs. In this manner, client knows when to
stop sending revs by checking for the substring "continue" (and
further knows that server understands multi_ack)
In this manner, the protocol stays backwards compatible, since both client
must send "want ... multi_ack" and server must answer with "ACK ...
continue" to enable the extension.

Cloning from a repository with more than 256 refs (heads and tags

tags, like http://www.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/linux.git, which has 290+
