A use case for git-bundle expected to be quite common is this:
$ git bundle create daily.bundle --since=10.days.ago --all
The expected outcome is _not_ to error out if only a couple of the
refs were not changed during the last 10 days.
This patch complains loudly about refs which are skipped due to the
pack not containing the corresponding objects, but dies only if
no objects would be in the pack _at all_.

Not only does it prevent accidentally losing older bundles, but it
also fixes a subtle bug: when writing into an existing bundle,
git-pack-objects would not truncate the bundle. Therefore,
fetching from the bundle would trigger an error in unpack-objects:
"fatal: pack has junk at the end".

The earlier patch tried to be nice by just warning, but it seems
more likely that the user wants to adjust the parameters.
Also, it prevents a bundle containing _all_ revisions in the case
when the user only gave one ref, but also rev-list options which
excluded the ref.

The patch to make the packs in a bundle thin forgot the receiving side.
D'oh.

Thin packs are way smaller, but they rely on the receiving end to have the
base objects. However, Git's pack protocol also uses thin packs by
default. So make the packs contained in bundles thin, since bundles are
just another transport.
The patch looks a bit bigger than intended, mainly because --thin
_implies_ that pack-objects should run its own rev-list. Therefore, this
patch removes all the stuff we used to roll rev-list ourselves.
This commit also changes behaviour slightly: since we now know early
enough if a specified ref is _not_ contained in the pack, we can avoid
putting that ref into the pack. So, we don't die() here, but warn()
instead, and skip that ref.

When saying something like "--since=1.day.ago" or "--max-count=5",
git-bundle finds the boundary commits which are recorded as
prerequisites. However, it failed to tell pack-objects _not_ to
pack the objects which are in these.
Fix that. And add a test for that.

If read_header() fails, it returns <0, not 0. Further, an open(/dev/null)
was not checked for errors.
Also, this adds two tests to make sure that the bundle file looks
correct, by checking if it has the header has the expected form, and that
the pack contains the right amount of objects.

verify_bundle() returned with an error early only when all
prerequisite commits were missing. It should error out much
earlier when some are missing.
When the rev-list is limited in ways other than revision range
(e.g. --max-count or --max-age), create_bundle() listed all
positive refs given from the command line as if they are
available, but resulting pack may not have some of them. Add a
logic to make sure all of them are included, and error out
otherwise.

This removes the flag internally used by revision traversal to
decide which commits are indeed boundaries and renames it to
CHILD_SHOWN. builtin-bundle uses the symbol for its
verification, but I think the logic it uses it is wrong. The
flag is still useful but it is local to the git-bundle, so it is
renamed to PREREQ_MARK.

The handcrafted built-in rev-list lookalike forgot to mark the trees
and blobs contained in the boundary commits uninteresting, resulting
in unnecessary objects in the pack.

We can use the revision walker easily for checking if the
prerequisites are met, instead of fork()ing off a rev-list,
which would list only the first unmet prerequisite.

This patch fixes issues mentioned by Junio, Nico and Simon:
- I forgot to convert the usage string when removing the "--" from
the subcommands,
- a style fix in the bundle_header,
- use xread() instead of read(),
- use write_or_die() instead of write(),
- make the bundle header extensible,
- fail if the whitespace after a sha1 of a reference is missing,
- close() the fds passed to a subprocess,
- in verify_bundle(), do not use "rev-list --stdin", but rather
pass the revs directly (avoiding a fork()),
- fix a corrupted comment in show_object(), and
- fix the size check in index_pack.

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.
