ab07681fed cvsserver: use whole CVS rev number in-process; don't strip "1." prefix
Keep track of the whole CVS revision number in-process.  This will
clarify code when we start handling non-linear revision numbers later.

There is one externally visible change: conflict markers after
an update will now include the full CVS revision number,
including the "1." prefix.  It used to leave off the prefix.

Other than the conflict marker, this change doesn't effect
external functionality.  No new features, and the DB schema
is unchanged such that it continues to store just
the stripped rev numbers (without prefix).

44bc5ac71f svn test: escape peg revision separator using empty peg rev
This test script uses "svn cp" to create a branch with an @-sign in
its name:

	svn cp "pr ject/trunk" "pr ject/branches/not-a@{0}reflog"

That sets up for later tests that fetch the branch and check that git
svn mangles the refname appropriately.

Unfortunately, modern svn versions interpret path arguments with an
@-sign as an example of path@revision syntax (which pegs a path to a
particular revision) and truncate the path or error out with message
"svn: E205000: Syntax error parsing peg revision '{0}reflog'".

When using subversion 1.6.x, escaping the @ sign as %40 avoids trouble
(see 08fd28bb, 2010-07-08).  Newer versions are stricter:

	$ svn cp "$repo/pr ject/trunk" "$repo/pr ject/branches/not-a%40{reflog}"
	svn: E205000: Syntax error parsing peg revision '%7B0%7Dreflog'

The recommended method for escaping a literal @ sign in a path passed
to subversion is to add an empty peg revision at the end of the path
("branches/not-a@{0}reflog@").  Do that.

Pre-1.6.12 versions of Subversion probably treat the trailing @ as
another literal @-sign (svn issue 3651).  Luckily ever since
v1.8.0-rc0~155^2~7 (t9118: workaround inconsistency between SVN
versions, 2012-07-28) the test can survive that.

Tested with Debian Subversion 1.6.12dfsg-6 and 1.7.5-1 and r1395837
of Subversion trunk (1.8.x).

9478b11968 Make git-svn branch patterns match complete URL
When using the {word,[...]} style of configuration for tags and branches,
it appears the intent is to only match whole path parts, since the words
in the {} pattern are meta-character quoted.

When the pattern word appears in the beginning or middle of the url,
it's matched completely, since the left side, pattern, and (non-empty)
right side are joined together with path separators.

However, when the pattern word appears at the end of the URL, the
right side is an empty pattern, and the resulting regex matches
more than just the specified pattern.

For example, if you specify something along the lines of

    branches = branches/project/{release_1,release_2}

and your repository also contains "branches/project/release_1_2", you
will also get the release_1_2 branch.  By restricting the match regex
with anchors, this is avoided.

svn:mergeinfo property references to both branch1 and branch2.  When
git-svn fetches the commit that merges branch2 (check_cherry_pick),
it is necessary to eliminate the merged contents of branch1 as well as

9dad83be45 t1450: the order the objects are checked is undefined
When a tag T points at an object X that is of a type that is
different from what the tag records as, fsck should report it as an
error.

However, depending on the order X and T are checked individually,
the actual error message can be different.  If X is checked first,
fsck remembers X's type and then when it checks T, it notices that T
records X as a wrong type (i.e. the complaint is about a broken tag
T).  If T is checked first, on the other hand, fsck remembers that we
need to verify X is of the type tag records, and when it later
checks X, it notices that X is of a wrong type (i.e. the complaint
is about a broken object X).

The important thing is that fsck notices such an error and diagnoses
the issue on object X, but the test was expecting that we happen to
check objects in the order to make us detect issues with tag T, not
with object X.  Remove this unwarranted assumption.

Similar to --author/--committer which filters commits by author and

af9c9f9713 submodule: if $command was not matched, don't parse other args
"git submodule" command DWIMs the command line and assumes a
unspecified action word for 'status' action.  This is a UI mistake
that leads to a confusing behaviour.  A mistyped command name is
instead treated as a request for 'status' of the submodule with that
name, e.g.

    $ git submodule show
    error: pathspec 'show' did not match any file(s) known to git.
    Did you forget to 'git add'?

Stop DWIMming an unknown or mistyped subcommand name as pathspec
given to unspelled "status" subcommand.  "git submodule" without any
argument is still interpreted as "git submodule status", but its
value is questionable.

Adjust t7400 to match, and stop advertising the default subcommand
being 'status' which does not help much in practice, other than
promoting laziness and confusion.

a427ef7acc mergetool--lib: Allow custom commands to override built-ins
Allow users to override the default commands provided by the
mergetools/* scriptlets.

Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be
able to override the built-in tool names.  The documentation
does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden,
so it's easy to assume that it should work.

Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the
same way as user-configured tools.  Add tests to guarantee this
behavior.

A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from
having future versions of git trump their custom configuration
with a new built-in tool.

02572c2e3a remote-curl: let users turn off smart http
Usually there is no need for users to specify whether an
http remote is smart or dumb; the protocol is designed so
that a single initial request is made, and the client can
determine the server's capability from the response.

However, some misconfigured dumb-only servers may not like
the initial request by a smart client, as it contains a
query string. Until recently, commit 703e6e7 worked around
this by making a second request. However, that commit was
recently reverted due to its side effect of masking the
initial request's error code.

Since git has had that workaround for several years, we
don't know exactly how many such misconfigured servers are
out there. The reversion of 703e6e7 assumes they are rare
enough not to worry about. Still, that reversion leaves
somebody who does run into such a server with no escape
hatch at all. Let's give them an environment variable they
can tweak to perform the "dumb" request.

This is intentionally not a documented interface. It's
overly simple and is really there for debugging in case
somebody does complain about git not working with their
server. A real user-facing interface would entail a
per-remote or per-URL config variable.

31b808a032 clone --single: limit the fetch refspec to fetched branch
After running "git clone --single", the resulting repository has the
usual default "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" wildcard fetch
refspec installed, which means that a subsequent "git fetch" will
end up grabbing all the other branches.

Update the fetch refspec to cover only the singly cloned ref instead
to correct this.

That means:
If "--single" is used without "--branch" or "--mirror", the
fetch refspec covers the branch on which remote's HEAD points to.
If "--single" is used with "--branch", it'll cover only the branch
specified in the "--branch" option.
If "--single" is combined with "--mirror", then it'll cover all
refs of the cloned repository.
If "--single" is used with "--branch" that specifies a tag, then
it'll cover only the ref for this tag.

aa90b9697f Enable info/refs gzip decompression in HTTP client
Some HTTP servers try to use gzip compression on the /info/refs
request to save transfer bandwidth. Repositories with many tags
may find the /info/refs request can be gzipped to be 50% of the
original size due to the few but often repeated bytes used (hex
SHA-1 and commonly digits in tag names).

For most HTTP requests enable "Accept-Encoding: gzip" ensuring
the /info/refs payload can use this encoding format.

Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but is
unlikely to ever be used by a server.

Disable the Accept-Encoding header on probe RPCs as response bodies
are supposed to be exactly 4 bytes long, "0000". The HTTP headers
requesting and indicating compression use more space than the data
transferred in the body.
