8efa5f629e remote-curl: Fix Accept header for smart HTTP connections
We actually expect to see an application/x-git-upload-pack-result
but we lied and said we Accept *-response.  This was a typo on my
part when I was writing the code.

Fortunately the wrong Accept header had no real impact, as the
deployed git-http-backend servers were not testing the Accept
header before they returned their content.

6c81a99082 Allow curl to rewind the RPC read buffer
When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may need
to rewind the read buffers used for providing data to HTTP POST, if data
has been output before a 401 error is received.

This is needed only when the first request (when the multi-pass
authentication method isn't initialized and hasn't received its challenge
yet) for a certain curl session is a chunked HTTP POST.

As long as the current rpc read buffer is the first one, we're able to
rewind without need for additional buffering.

The curl library currently starts sending data without waiting for a
response to the Expect: 100-continue header, due to a bug in curl that
exists up to curl version 7.19.7.

If the HTTP server doesn't handle Expect: 100-continue headers properly
(e.g. Lighttpd), the library has to start sending data without knowing
if the request will be successfully authenticated. In this case, this
rewinding solution is not sufficient - the whole request will be sent
before the 401 error is received.

483106089a remote-curl.c: fix rpc_out()
Remove the extraneous semicolon (';') at the end of the if statement
that allowed the code in its block to execute regardless of the
condition.

This fixes pushing to a smart http backend with chunked encoding.

d21f9794ce Disable CURLOPT_NOBODY before enabling CURLOPT_PUT and CURLOPT_POST
This works around a bug in curl versions up to 7.19.4, where disabling the
CURLOPT_NOBODY option sets the internal state incorrectly considering that
CURLOPT_PUT was enabled earlier.

The bug is discussed at http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981 and is
corrected in the latest version of curl in CVS.

This bug usually has no impact on git, but may surface if using multi-pass
authentication methods.

b8538603a3 Smart HTTP fetch: gzip requests
The upload-pack requests are mostly plain text and they compress
rather well.  Deflating them with Content-Encoding: gzip can easily
drop the size of the request by 50%, reducing the amount of data
to transfer as we negotiate the common commits.

249b2004d8 Smart fetch over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-upload-pack service, and if so, runs git-fetch-pack locally
in a pipe to generate the want/have commands.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-fetch-pack before the POST request
starts, permitting server capability discovery and enablement.

Common objects that are discovered are appended onto the request as
have lines and are sent again on the next request.  This allows the
remote side to reinitialize its in-memory list of common objects
during the next request.

Because all requests are relatively short, below git-remote-curl's
1 MiB buffer limit, requests will use the standard Content-Length
header and be valid HTTP/1.0 POST requests.  This makes the fetch
client more tolerant of proxy servers which don't support HTTP/1.1
or the chunked transfer encoding.

de1a2fdd38 Smart push over HTTP: client side
The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.

The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts.  This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.

For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image).  The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.

For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

97cc7bc45c Discover refs via smart HTTP server when available
Instead of loading the cached info/refs, try to use the smart HTTP
version when the server supports it.  Since the smart variant is
actually the pkt-line stream from the start of either upload-pack
or receive-pack we need to parse these through get_remote_heads,
which requires a background thread to feed its pipe.

a45d3d7eff Allow curl helper to work without a local repository
It's okay to use the curl helper without a local repository, so long
as you don't use "fetch". There aren't any git programs that would try
to use it, and it doesn't make sense to try it (since there's nowhere
to write the results), but we may as well be clear.

ae4efe1957 Move WebDAV HTTP push under remote-curl
The remote helper interface now supports the push capability,
which can be used to ask the implementation to push one or more
specs to the remote repository.  For remote-curl we implement this
by calling the existing WebDAV based git-http-push executable.

Internally the helper interface uses the push_refs transport hook
so that the complexity of the refspec parsing and matching can be
reused between remote implementations.  When possible however the
helper protocol uses source ref name rather than the source SHA-1,
thereby allowing the helper to access this name if it is useful.

>From Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at>:
 update http tests according to remote-curl capabilities

 o Pushing packed refs is now fixed.

 o The transport helper fails if refs are already up-to-date. Add
   a test for that.

 o The transport helper will notice if refs are already
   up-to-date. We therefore need to update server info in the
   unpacked-refs test.

 o The transport helper will purge deleted branches automatically.

 o Use a variable ($ORIG_HEAD) instead of full SHA-1 name.

292ce46b60 remote-helpers: Fetch more than one ref in a batch
Some network protocols (e.g. native git://) are able to fetch more
than one ref at a time and reduce the overall transfer cost by
combining the requests into a single exchange.  Instead of feeding
each fetch request one at a time to the helper, feed all of them
at once so the helper can decide whether or not it should batch them.

d01a8e32fe clone: Supply the right commit hash to post-checkout when -b is used
When we use -b <branch>, we may checkout something else than what the
remote's HEAD references, but we still used remote_head to supply the
new ref value to the post-checkout hook, which is wrong.

So instead of using remote_head to find the value to be passed to the
post-checkout hook, we have to use our_head_points_at, which is always
correctly setup, even if -b is not used.

This also fixes a segfault when "clone -b <branch>" is used with a
remote repo that doesn't have a valid HEAD, as in such a case
remote_head is NULL, but we still tried to access it.

c6dfb39944 remote-curl: add missing initialization of argv0_path
All programs, in particular also the stand-alone programs (non-builtins)
must call git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]) in order to help builds that
derive the installation prefix at runtime, such as the MinGW build.
Without this call, the program segfaults (or raises an assertion
failure).
