ea68b0ce9f hash-object: don't use mmap() for small files
Using read() instead of mmap() can be 39% speed up for 1Kb files and is
1% speed up 1Mb files. For larger files, it is better to use mmap(),
because the difference between is not significant, and when there is not
enough memory, mmap() performs much better, because it avoids swapping.

9892bebafe sha1_file: don't malloc the whole compressed result when writing out objects
There is no real advantage to malloc the whole output buffer and
deflate the data in a single pass when writing loose objects. That is
like only 1% faster while using more memory, especially with large
files where memory usage is far more. It is best to deflate and write
the data out in small chunks reusing the same memory instead.

For example, using 'git add' on a few large files averaging 40 MB ...

2d3ca21677 t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new one
Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we
can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it
hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose.  There
are a number of ways to work around that:

 - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper
   that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests.
   This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty
   separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure
   that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper.

 - Redirect stdout to /dev/tty.  This would be problematic because
   there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is
   available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it.

 - Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output.

This patch implements the third approach.

The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create
a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with
that terminal as stdout.  If the IO::Pty module is missing or not
working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior
(skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

36c079756f cherry_pick_list: quit early if one side is empty
The --cherry-pick logic starts by counting the commits on each side,
so that it can filter away commits on the bigger one.  However, so
far it missed an opportunity for optimization: it doesn't need to do
any work if either side is empty.

This in particular helps the common use-case 'git rebase -i HEAD~$n':
it internally uses --cherry-pick, but since HEAD~$n is a direct
ancestor the left side is always empty.

60b6e2200d tests: Add tests for automatic use of pager
Git’s automatic pagination support has some subtleties.  Add some
tests to make sure we don’t break:

 - when git will use a pager by default;
 - the effect of the --paginate and --no-pager options;
 - the effect of pagination on use of color;
 - how the choice of pager is configured.

This does not yet test:

 - use of pager by scripted commands (git svn and git am);
 - effect of the pager.* configuration variables;
 - setting of the LESS variable.

Some features involve checking whether stdout is a terminal, so many
of these tests are skipped unless output is passed through to the
terminal (i.e., unless $GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).

The immediate purpose for these tests was to avoid making things worse
after the breakage from my jn/editor-pager series (see commit 376f39,
2009-11-20).  Thanks to Sebastian Celis <sebastian@sebastiancelis.com>
for the report.

462749b728 utf8.c: speculatively assume utf-8 in strbuf_add_wrapped_text()
is_utf8() works by calling utf8_width() for each character at the
supplied location.  In strbuf_add_wrapped_text(), we do that anyway
while wrapping the lines.  So instead of checking the encoding
beforehand, optimistically assume that it's utf-8 and wrap along
until an invalid character is hit, and when that happens start over.

This pays off if the text consists only of valid utf-8 characters.
The following command was run against the Linux kernel repo with
git 1.7.0:

	$ time git log --format='%b' v2.6.32 >/dev/null

	real	0m2.679s
	user	0m2.580s
	sys	0m0.100s

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m4.342s
	user	0m4.230s
	sys	0m0.110s

And with this patch series:

	$ time git log --format='%w(60,4,8)%b' >/dev/null

	real	0m3.741s
	user	0m3.630s
	sys	0m0.110s

So the cost of wrapping is reduced to 70% in this case.

If we remove a path in a/deep/subdirectory, we should try to
remove as many trailing components as possible (i.e.,
subdirectory, then deep, then a). However, the test for the
return value of rmdir was reversed, so we only ever deleted
at most one level.

The fix is in remove_path, so "apply" and "merge-recursive"
also are fixed.

cc1b8d8bc6 docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.

This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:

  - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
    that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
    indicate that it was a hierarchy.  I didn't do the same for longer
    paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
    "refs/heads/").

  - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
    unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).

  - In some cases it made sense instead to note the existence of packed
    refs (e.g., in check-ref-format and rev-parse).

Now that fast-import is creating packs with index version 2, there is
no point limiting the pack size by default.  A pack split will still
happen if off_t is not sufficiently large to hold large offsets.

While updating the doc, let's remove the "packfiles fit on CDs"
suggestion.  Pack files created by fast-import are still suboptimal and
a 'git repack -a -f -d' or even 'git gc --aggressive' would be a pretty
good idea before considering storage on CDs.

b0d66e156c transport: add got_remote_refs flag
transport_get_remote_refs() in tranport.c checks transport->remote_refs
to determine whether transport->get_refs_list() should be invoked.  The
logic is "if it is NULL, we haven't run ls-remote to find out yet".

However, transport->remote_refs could still be NULL while cloning from
an empty repository.  This causes get_refs_list() to be run unnecessarily.

Introduce a flag, transport->got_remote_refs, to more explicitly record
if we have run transport->get_refs_list() already.

003c6abdb2 dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.

However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".

Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

460ccd0e19 stash pop: remove 'apply' options during 'drop' invocation
The 'git stash pop' option parsing used to remove the first argument
in --index mode.  At the time this was implemented, this first
argument was always --index.  However, since the invention of the -q
option in fcdd0e9 (stash: teach quiet option, 2009-06-17) you can
cause an internal invocation of

  git stash drop --index

by running

  git stash pop -q --index

which then of course fails because drop doesn't know --index.

To handle this, instead let 'git stash apply' decide what the future
argument to 'drop' should be.

Warning: this means that 'git stash apply' must parse all options that
'drop' can take, and deal with them in the same way.  This is
currently true for its only option -q.

f6dff119d5 am: Fix launching of pager
The pagination functionality in git am has some problems:

 - It does not check if stdout is a tty, so it always paginates.

 - If $GIT_PAGER uses any environment variables, they are being
   ignored, since it does not run $GIT_PAGER through eval.

 - If $GIT_PAGER is set to the empty string, instead of passing
   output through to stdout, it tries to run $dotest/patch.

Fix them.  While at it, move the definition of git_pager() to
git-sh-setup so authors of other commands are not tempted to
reimplement it with the same mistakes.

e6e592db4c gitweb: Die if there are parsing errors in config file
Otherwise the errors can propagate, and show in damnest places, and
you would spend your time chasing ghosts instead of debugging real
problem (yes, it is from personal experience).

This follows (parts of) advice in `perldoc -f do` documentation.

This required restructoring code a bit, so we die only if we are reading
(executing) config file.  As a side effect $GITWEB_CONFIG_SYSTEM is always
available, even when we use $GITWEB_CONFIG.

190c1cda7e git svn: Fix launching of pager
In commit dec543e (am -i, git-svn: use "git var GIT_PAGER"), I tried
to teach git svn to defer to git var on what pager to use. In the
process, I introduced two bugs:

 - The value set for $pager in config_pager has local scope, so
   run_pager never sees it;

 - git var cannot tell whether git svn’s output is going to a
   terminal, so the value chosen for $pager does not reflect that
   information.

Fix them.

06300d9753 git.1: Clarify the behavior of the --paginate option
The --paginate option is meant to negate the effect of an explicit or
implicit pager.<cmd> = false setting.  Thus it turns the pager on if
output is going to a terminal rather than unconditionally.

64778d24a9 Make 'git var GIT_PAGER' always print the configured pager
Scripted commands that want to use git’s configured pager know better
than ‘git var’ does whether stdout is going to be a tty at the
appropriate time.  Checking isatty(1) as git_pager() does now won’t
cut it, since the output of git var itself is almost never a terminal.
The symptom is that when used by humans, ‘git var GIT_PAGER’ behaves
as it should, but when used by scripts, it always returns ‘cat’!

So avoid tricks with isatty() and just always print the configured
pager.

This does not fix the callers to check isatty(1) themselves yet.
Nevertheless, this patch alone is enough to fix 'am --interactive'.

Thanks to Sebastian Celis for the report and Jeff King for the
analysis.
