5333f2afc4 Revert "git-clone.txt: remove the restriction on pushing from a shallow clone"
This reverts commit dacd2bcc41.

"It fails reliably without corrupting the receiving repository when
it should fail" may be better than the situation before the receiving
end was hardened recently, but the fact that sometimes the push does
not go through still remains.  It is better to advice the users that
they cannot push from a shallow repository as a limitation before
they decide to use (or not to use) a shallow clone.

97e751be79 mailmap: do not downcase mailmap entries
The email addresses in the records read from the .mailmap file are
downcased very early, and then used to match against e-mail
addresses in the input.  Because we do use case insensitive version
of string list to manage these entries, there is no need to do this,
and worse yet, downcasing the rewritten/canonical e-mail read from
the .mailmap file loses information.

Stop doing that, and also make the string list used to keep multiple
names for an mailmap entry case insensitive (the code that uses the
list, lookup_prefix(), expects a case insensitive match).

8c3811510e mailmap: do not lose single-letter names
In parse_name_and_email() function, there is this line:

	*name = (nstart < nend ? nstart : NULL);

When the function is given a buffer "A <A@example.org> <old@x.z>",
nstart scans from the beginning of the buffer, skipping whitespaces
(there isn't any, so nstart points at the buffer), while nend starts
from one byte before the first '<' and skips whitespaces backwards
and stops at the first non-whitespace (i.e. it hits "A" at the
beginning of the buffer).  nstart == nend in this case for a
single-letter name, and an off-by-one error makes it fail to pick up
the name, which makes the entry equivalent to

	<A@example.org> <old@x.z>

without the name.

94b410bba8 .mailmap: Map email addresses to names
People change email addresses quite often and sometimes forget to
add their entry to the mailmap file.  I have contacted lots of
people, whose name occurs multiple times in the short log having
different email addresses. The entries in the mailmap of this patch
are either confirmed by them or are trivial.  Trivial means
different capitalisation of the domain (@MIT.EDU and @mit.edu) or
the domain was localhost, (none) or @local.

Additionally to adding (name, email) mappings to the .mailmap file,
it has also been sorted ("LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sort", byte-value sort).

While the most changes happen at the email addresses, we also have a
name change in here. Karl Hasselström is now known as Karl Wiberg
due to marriage. Congratulations!

To find out whom to contact I used the following small
script:

    #!/bin/bash
    git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d > mailmapdoubles
    while read line ; do
        # remove leading whitespace
        trimmed=$(echo $line | sed -e 's/^ *//g' -e 's/ *$//g')
        echo "git shortlog -sne | grep \""$trimmed"\""
    done < mailmapdoubles > mailmapdoubles2
    sh mailmapdoubles2
    rm mailmapdoubles
    rm mailmapdoubles2

Also interesting for similar tasks are these snippets:

    # Finding out duplicates by comparing email addresses:
    git shortlog -sne |awk '{ print $NF }' |sort |uniq -d

    # Finding out duplicates by comparing names:
    git shortlog -sne |awk '{ NF--; $1=""; print }' |sort |uniq -d

dacd2bcc41 git-clone.txt: remove the restriction on pushing from a shallow clone
The document says one cannot push from a shallow clone. But that is
not true (maybe it was at some point in the past). The client does not
stop such a push nor does it give any indication to the receiver that
this is a shallow push. If the receiver accepts it, it's in.

Since 52fed6e (receive-pack: check connectivity before concluding "git
push" - 2011-09-02), receive-pack is prepared to deal with broken
push, a shallow push can't cause any corruption. Update the document
to reflect that.

23c339c0f2 sha1_object_info_extended: pass object_info to helpers
We take in a "struct object_info" which contains pointers to
storage for items the caller cares about. But then rather
than pass the whole object to the low-level loose/packed

Let's pass the whole struct instead, which will make adding
more items later easier.

5b0864070e sha1_object_info_extended: make type calculation optional
Each caller of sha1_object_info_extended sets up an
object_info struct to tell the function which elements of
the object it wants to get. Until now, getting the type of
the object has always been required (and it is returned via
the return type rather than a pointer in object_info).

This can involve actually opening a loose object file to
determine its type, or following delta chains to determine a
packed file's base type. These effects produce a measurable
slow-down when doing a "cat-file --batch-check" that does
not include %(objecttype).

This patch adds a "typep" query to struct object_info, so
that it can be optionally queried just like size and
disk_size. As a result, the return type of the function is
no longer the object type, but rather 0/-1 for success/error.

As there are only three callers total, we just fix up each
caller rather than keep a compatibility wrapper:

  1. The simpler sha1_object_info wrapper continues to
     always ask for and return the type field.

  2. The istream_source function wants to know the type, and
     so always asks for it.

  3. The cat-file batch code asks for the type only when
     %(objecttype) is part of the format string.

On linux.git, the best-of-five for running:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)'

on a fully packed repository goes from:

  real    0m8.680s
  user    0m8.160s
  sys     0m0.512s

to:

  real    0m7.205s
  user    0m6.580s

412916ee13 packed_object_info: make type lookup optional
Currently, packed_object_info can save some work by not
calculating the size or disk_size of the object if the
caller is not interested. However, it always calculates the
true object type, whether the caller cares or not, and only
optionally returns the easy-to-get "representation type".

Let's swap these types. The function will now return the
representation type (or OBJ_BAD on failure), and will only
optionally fill in the true type.

There should be no behavior change yet, as the only caller,
sha1_object_info_extended, will always feed it a type
pointer.

90191d37ab packed_object_info: hoist delta type resolution to helper

its delta chain until we hit a true base object with a real
type. Most of the code in packed_object_info is for handling
this case.

will make it easier to make the type-lookup optional in the
future (and keep our indentation level sane).

052fe5eaca sha1_loose_object_info: make type lookup optional
Until recently, the only items to request from
sha1_object_info_extended were type and size. This meant
that we always had to open a loose object file to determine
one or the other.  But with the addition of the disk_size
query, it's possible that we can fulfill the query without
even opening the object file at all. However, since the
function interface always returns the type, we have no way
of knowing whether the caller cares about it or not.

This patch only modified sha1_loose_object_info to make type
lookup optional using an out-parameter, similar to the way
the size is handled (and the return value is "0" or "-1" for
success or error, respectively).

There should be no functional change yet, though, as
sha1_object_info_extended, the only caller, will always ask
for a type.

f2f57e31f6 sha1_object_info_extended: rename "status" to "type"
The value we get from each low-level object_info function
(e.g., loose, packed) is actually the object type (or -1 for
error). Let's explicitly call it "type", which will make
further refactorings easier to read.

25fba78d36 cat-file: disable object/refname ambiguity check for batch mode
A common use of "cat-file --batch-check" is to feed a list
of objects from "rev-list --objects" or a similar command.
In this instance, all of our input objects are 40-byte sha1
ids. However, cat-file has always allowed arbitrary revision
specifiers, and feeds the result to get_sha1().

Fortunately, get_sha1() recognizes a 40-byte sha1 before
doing any hard work trying to look up refs, meaning this
scenario should end up spending very little time converting
the input into an object sha1. However, since 798c35f
(get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look
like refs, 2013-05-29), when we encounter this case, we
spend the extra effort to do a refname lookup anyway, just
to print a warning. This is further exacerbated by ca91993
(get_packed_ref_cache: reload packed-refs file when it
changes, 2013-06-20), which makes individual ref lookup more
expensive by requiring a stat() of the packed-refs file for
each missing ref.

With no patches, this is the time it takes to run:

  $ git rev-list --objects --all >objects
  $ time git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectname)' <objects

on the linux.git repository:

  real    1m13.494s
  user    0m25.924s
  sys     0m47.532s

If we revert ca91993, the packed-refs up-to-date check, it
gets a little better:

  real    0m54.697s
  user    0m21.692s
  sys     0m32.916s

but we are still spending quite a bit of time on ref lookup
(and we would not want to revert that patch, anyway, which
has correctness issues).  If we revert 798c35f, disabling
the warning entirely, we get a much more reasonable time:

  real    0m7.452s
  user    0m6.836s
  sys     0m0.608s

This patch does the moral equivalent of this final case (and
gets similar speedups). We introduce a global flag that
callers of get_sha1() can use to avoid paying the price for
the warning.
