Michael Haggerty 707103fdfd lockfile: avoid transitory invalid states
Because remove_lock_file() can be called any time by the signal
handler, it is important that any lock_file objects that are in the
lock_file_list are always in a valid state.  And since lock_file
objects are often reused (but are never removed from lock_file_list),
that means we have to be careful whenever mutating a lock_file object
to always keep it in a well-defined state.

This was formerly not the case, because part of the state was encoded
by setting lk->filename to the empty string vs. a valid filename.  It
is wrong to assume that this string can be updated atomically; for
example, even

    strcpy(lk->filename, value)

is unsafe.  But the old code was even more reckless; for example,

    strcpy(lk->filename, path);
    if (!(flags & LOCK_NODEREF))
            resolve_symlink(lk->filename, max_path_len);
    strcat(lk->filename, ".lock");

During the call to resolve_symlink(), lk->filename contained the name
of the file that was being locked, not the name of the lockfile.  If a
signal were raised during that interval, then the signal handler would
have deleted the valuable file!

We could probably continue to use the filename field to encode the
state by being careful to write characters 1..N-1 of the filename
first, and then overwrite the NUL at filename[0] with the first
character of the filename, but that would be awkward and error-prone.

So, instead of using the filename field to determine whether the
lock_file object is active, add a new field "lock_file::active" for
this purpose.  Be careful to set this field only when filename really
contains the name of a file that should be deleted on cleanup.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
