975e0daf5e Function stripspace now gets a buffer instead file descriptors.
An implementation easier to call from builtins. It is designed
to be used from the upcoming builtin-tag.c and builtin-commit.c,
because both need to remove unwanted spaces from messages.

9690c118fa Fix git-stripspace to process correctly long lines and spaces.
Now the implementation gets more memory to store completely
each line before removing trailing spaces, and does it right
when the last line of the file ends with spaces and no newline
at the end.

Function stripspace needs again to be non-static in order to call
it from "builtin-tag.c" and the upcoming "builtin-commit.c".
A new parameter skip_comments was also added to the stripspace
function to optionally strips every shell #comment from the input,
needed for doing this task on those programs.

d0bfd026a8 Add basic infrastructure to assign attributes to paths
This adds the basic infrastructure to assign attributes to
paths, in a way similar to what the exclusion mechanism does
based on $GIT_DIR/info/exclude and .gitignore files.

An attribute is just a simple string that does not contain any
whitespace.  They can be specified in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes
file, and .gitattributes file in each directory.

Each line in these files defines a pattern matching rule.
Similar to the exclusion mechanism, a later match overrides an
earlier match in the same file, and entries from .gitattributes
file in the same directory takes precedence over the ones from
parent directories.  Lines in $GIT_DIR/info/attributes file are
used as the lowest precedence default rules.

A line is either a comment (an empty line, or a line that begins
with a '#'), or a rule, which is a whitespace separated list of
tokens.  The first token on the line is a shell glob pattern.
The rest are names of attributes, each of which can optionally
be prefixed with '!'.  Such a line means "if a path matches this
glob, this attribute is set (or unset -- if the attribute name
is prefixed with '!').  For glob matching, the same "if the
pattern does not have a slash in it, the basename of the path is
matched with fnmatch(3) against the pattern, otherwise, the path
is matched with the pattern with FNM_PATHNAME" rule as the
exclusion mechanism is used.

This does not define what an attribute means.  Tying an
attribute to various effects it has on git operation for paths
that have it will be specified separately.

2e0afafebd Add git-bundle: move objects and references by archive
Some workflows require use of repositories on machines that cannot be
connected, preventing use of git-fetch / git-push to transport objects and
references between the repositories.

git-bundle provides an alternate transport mechanism, effectively allowing
git-fetch and git-pull to operate using sneakernet transport. `git-bundle
create` allows the user to create a bundle containing one or more branches
or tags, but with specified basis assumed to exist on the target
repository. At the receiving end, git-bundle acts like git-fetch-pack,
allowing the user to invoke git-fetch or git-pull using the bundle file as
the URL. git-fetch and git-ls-remote determine they have a bundle URL by
checking that the URL points to a file, but are otherwise unchanged in
operation with bundles.

The original patch was done by Mark Levedahl <mdl123@verizon.net>.

It was updated to make git-bundle a builtin, and get rid of the tar
format: now, the first line is supposed to say "# v2 git bundle", the next
lines either contain a prerequisite ("-" followed by the hash of the
needed commit), or a ref (the hash of a commit, followed by the name of
the ref), and finally the pack. As a result, the bundle argument can be
"-" now.

4264dc15e1 git reflog expire
This prepares a place to collect reflog management subcommands,
and implements "expire" action.

	$ git reflog expire --dry-run \
		--expire=4.weeks \
		--expire-unreachable=1.week \
		refs/heads/master

The expiration uses two timestamps: --expire and --expire-unreachable.
Entries older than expire time (defaults to 90 days), and entries older
than expire-unreachable time (defaults to 30 days) and records a commit
that has been rewound and made unreachable from the current tip of the
ref are removed from the reflog.

The parameter handling is still rough, but I think the
core logic for expiration is already sound.

Linus Torvalds
e1e22e37f4 Start handling references internally as a sorted in-memory list
This also adds some very rudimentary support for the notion of packed
refs.  HOWEVER! At this point it isn't used to actually look up a ref
yet, only for listing them (ie "for_each_ref()" and friends see the
packed refs, but none of the other single-ref lookup routines).

Note how we keep two separate lists: one for the loose refs, and one for
the packed refs we read. That's so that we can easily keep the two apart,
and read only one set or the other (and still always make sure that the
loose refs take precedence).

[ From this, it's not actually obvious why we'd keep the two separate
  lists, but it's important to have the packed refs on their own list
  later on, when I add support for looking up a single loose one.

  For that case, we will want to read _just_ the packed refs in case the
  single-ref lookup fails, yet we may end up needing the other list at
  some point in the future, so keeping them separated is important ]

358ddb62cf Add "git show-ref" builtin command
It's kind of like "git peek-remote", but works only locally (and thus
avoids the whole overhead of git_connect()) and has some extra
verification features.

For example, it allows you to filter the results, and to choose whether
you want the tag dereferencing or not. You can also use it to just test
whether a particular ref exists.

For example:

	git show-ref master

will show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or
anything else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming
hierarchy they are (so it would show "refs/heads/master" but also
"refs/remote/other-repo/master").

When using the "--verify" flag, the command requires an exact ref path:

	git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master

will only match the exact branch called "master".

If nothing matches, show-ref will return an error code of 1, and in the
case of verification, it will show an error message.

For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which
allows you to do things like

	git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" ||
		echo "$headname is not a valid branch"

to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't
actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for
it in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches).

To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or
"--heads" respectively (using both means that it shows tags _and_ heads,
but not other random references under the refs/ subdirectory).

To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference"
flag, so you can do

	git show-ref --tags --dereference

to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.

39345a216f Add git-upload-archive
This command implements the git archive protocol on the server
side. This command is not intended to be used by the end user.
Underlying git-archive command line options are sent over the
protocol from "git-archive --remote=...", just like upload-tar
currently does with "git-tar-tree=...".

As for "git-archive" command implementation, this new command
does not execute any existing "git-{tar,zip}-tree" but rely
on the archive API defined by "git-archive" patch. Hence we
get 2 good points:

 - "git-archive" and "git-upload-archive" share all option
   parsing code.

 - All kind of git-upload-{tar,zip} can be deprecated.

4df096a5ca Add git-archive
git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.

Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.

 - The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
   signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
   different archive backends to have different kind of options.

 - The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
   the archive given some already resolved parameters.

The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?

It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.

The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:

$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD

We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

c91f0d92ef git-commit.sh: convert run_status to a C builtin
This creates a new git-runstatus which should do roughly the same thing
as the run_status function from git-commit.sh. Except for color support,
the main focus has been to keep the output identical, so that it can be
verified as correct and then used as a C platform for other improvements to
the status printing code.
