666b4c2670 Merge branch 'tm/fetch-prune'
Fetching 'frotz' branch with "git fetch", while having
'frotz/nitfol' remote-tracking branch from an earlier fetch, would
error out, primarily because the command has not been told to
remove anything on our side. In such a case, "git fetch --prune"
can be used to remove 'frotz/nitfol' to make room to fetch and
store 'frotz' remote-tracking branch.

10a6cc8890 fetch --prune: Run prune before fetching
When we have a remote-tracking branch named "frotz/nitfol" from a
previous fetch, and the upstream now has a branch named "frotz",
fetch would fail to remove "frotz/nitfol" with a "git fetch --prune"
from the upstream. git would inform the user to use "git remote
prune" to fix the problem.

Change the way "fetch --prune" works by moving the pruning operation
before the fetching operation. This way, instead of warning the user
of a conflict, it autmatically fixes it.

5e1361ccdb log: properly handle decorations with chained tags
git log did not correctly handle decorations when a tag object referenced
another tag object that was no longer a ref, such as when the second tag was
deleted.  The commit would not be decorated correctly because parse_object had
not been called on the second tag and therefore its tagged field had not been
filled in, resulting in none of the tags being associated with the relevant
commit.

Call parse_object to fill in this field if it is absent so that the chain of
tags can be dereferenced and the commit can be properly decorated.  Include
tests as well to prevent future regressions.

a21bae33d9 diff: let "git diff -O" read orderfile from any file and fail properly
The -O flag really shouldn't silently fail to do anything when given
a path that it can't read from.

However, it should be able to read from un-mmappable files, such as:

 * pipes/fifos

 * /dev/null:  It's a character device (at least on Linux)

 * ANY empty file:

   Quoting Linux mmap(2), "SUSv3 specifies that mmap() should fail if
   length is 0.  However, in kernels before 2.6.12, mmap() succeeded in
   this case: no mapping was created and the call returned addr.  Since
   kernel 2.6.12, mmap() fails with the error EINVAL for this case."

We especially want "-O/dev/null" to work, since we will be documenting
it as the way to cancel "diff.orderfile" when we add that.

(Note: "-O/dev/null" did have the right effect, since the existing error
handling essentially worked out to "silently ignore the orderfile".  But
this was probably more coincidence than anything else.)

So, lets toss all of that logic to get the file mmapped and just use
strbuf_read_file() instead, which gives us decent error handling
practically for free.

e66ef7ae6f Merge branch 'mh/fetch-tags-in-addition-to-normal-refs'
The "--tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.

This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.

6df5762db3 diff: don't read index when --no-index is given
git diff --no-index ... currently reads the index, during setup, when
calling gitmodules_config().  This results in worse performance when the
index is not actually needed.  This patch avoids calling
gitmodules_config() when the --no-index option is given.  The times for
executing "git diff --no-index" in the WebKit repository are improved as
follows:

Test                      HEAD~3            HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------
4001.1: diff --no-index   0.24(0.15+0.09)   0.01(0.00+0.00) -95.8%

An additional improvement of this patch is that "git diff --no-index" no
longer breaks when the index file is corrupt, which makes it possible to
use it for investigating the broken repository.

To improve the possible usage as investigation tool for broken
repositories, setup_git_directory_gently() is also not called when the
--no-index option is given.

Also add a test to guard against future breakages, and a performance
test to show the improvements.

769a4fa463 builtin/replace: unset read_replace_refs
When checking to see if some objects are of the same type
and when displaying the type of objects, git replace uses
the sha1_object_info() function.

Unfortunately this function by default respects replace
refs, so instead of the type of a replaced object, it
gives the type of the replacement object which might
be different.

To fix this bug, and because git replace should work at a
level before replacement takes place, let's unset the
read_replace_refs global variable at the beginning of
cmd_replace().

303c5d65c9 t6050: show that git cat-file --batch fails with replace objects
When --batch is passed to git cat-file, the sha1_object_info_extended()
function is used to get information about the objects passed to
git cat-file.

Unfortunately sha1_object_info_extended() doesn't take care of
object replacement properly, so it will often fail with a
message like this:

6554dfa97a cat-file: handle --batch format with missing type/size
Commit 98e2092 taught cat-file to stream blobs with --batch,
which requires that we look up the object type before
loading it into memory.  As a result, we now print the
object header from information in sha1_object_info, and the
actual contents from the read_sha1_file. We double-check
that the information we printed in the header matches the
content we are about to show.

Later, commit 93d2a60 allowed custom header lines for
--batch, and commit 5b08640 made type lookups optional. As a
result, specifying a header line without the type or size
means that we will not look up those items at all.

This causes our double-checking to erroneously die with an
error; we think the type or size has changed, when in fact
it was simply left at "0".

For the size, we can fix this by only doing the consistency
double-check when we have retrieved the size via
sha1_object_info. In the case that we have not retrieved the
value, that means we also did not print it, so there is
nothing for us to check that we are consistent with.

We could do the same for the type. However, besides our
consistency check, we also care about the type in deciding
whether to stream or not. So instead of handling the case
where we do not know the type, this patch instead makes sure
that we always trigger a type lookup when we are printing,
so that even a format without the type will stream as we
would in the normal case.

ad8261d212 rebase: use reflog to find common base with upstream
Commit 15a147e (rebase: use @{upstream} if no upstream specified,
2011-02-09) says:

	Make it default to 'git rebase @{upstream}'. That is also what
	'git pull [--rebase]' defaults to, so it only makes sense that
	'git rebase' defaults to the same thing.

but that isn't actually the case.  Since commit d44e712 (pull: support
rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase, 2009-07-19), pull has actually
chosen the most recent reflog entry which is an ancestor of the current
branch if it can find one.

Add a '--fork-point' argument to git-rebase that can be used to trigger
this behaviour.  This option is turned on by default if no non-option
arguments are specified on the command line, otherwise we treat an
upstream specified on the command-line literally.

One note about using file:// under Windows:

The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/".
When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet
url=file://$pwd
will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo".

Windows does not have the same concept of a root directory located in "/".

"url != hostname" could be used to determine if the URL had a scheme
or not: "ssh://host/host" != "host".

However, after 356bec "[::1]" was converted into "::1", yielding
url != hostname as well.  To fix this regression, don't use
"if (url != hostname)", but look at the separator instead.

Rename the variable "c" into "separator" to make it easier to read.

854aeb7beb t5500: add test cases for diag-url
Add test cases using git fetch-pack --diag-url:

- parse out host and path for URLs with a scheme (git:// file:// ssh://)
- parse host names embedded by [] correctly
- extract the port number, if present
- separate URLs like "file" (which are local)
  from URLs like "host:repo" which should use ssh

1418567381 rev-parse: correctly diagnose revision errors before "--"
Rev-parse understands that a "--" may separate revisions and
filenames, and that anything after the "--" is taken as-is.
However, it does not understand that anything before the
token must be a revision (which is the usual rule
implemented by the setup_revisions parser).

Since rev-parse prefers revisions to files when parsing
before the "--", we end up with the correct result (if such
an argument is a revision, we parse it as one, and if it is
not, it is an error either way).  However, we misdiagnose
the errors:

  $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
  fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
  Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
  'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

  $ >foobar
  $ git rev-parse foobar -- >/dev/null
  fatal: bad flag '--' used after filename

In both cases, we should know that the real error is that
"foobar" is meant to be a revision, but could not be
resolved.

ee7fb0b1d4 difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program.  At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.

Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:

    Viewing: 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

Consider the modified prompt:

    Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter.  To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:

 - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;

 - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
   show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
   current value of the counter (from diff_options); and

 - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

83786fa412 config: arbitrary number of matches for --unset and --replace-all
git-config used a static match array to hold the matches we want to
unset/replace when using --unset or --replace-all.  Use a
variable-sized array instead.

This in particular fixes the symptoms git-svn had when storing large
numbers of svn-remote.*.added-placeholder entries in the config file.

While the tests are rather more paranoid than just --unset and
--replace-all, the other operations already worked.  Indeed git-svn's
usage only breaks the first time *after* creating so many entries,
when it wants to unset and re-add them all.

1190a1acf8 pack-objects: name pack files after trailer hash
Our current scheme for naming packfiles is to calculate the
sha1 hash of the sorted list of objects contained in the
packfile. This gives us a unique name, so we are reasonably
sure that two packs with the same name will contain the same
objects.

It does not, however, tell us that two such packs have the
exact same bytes. This makes things awkward if we repack the
same set of objects. Due to run-to-run variations, the bytes
may not be identical (e.g., changed zlib or git versions,
different source object reuse due to new packs in the
repository, or even different deltas due to races during a
multi-threaded delta search).

In theory, this could be helpful to a program that cares
that the packfile contains a certain set of objects, but
does not care about the particular representation. In
practice, no part of git makes use of that, and in many
cases it is potentially harmful. For example, if a dumb http
client fetches the .idx file, it must be sure to get the
exact .pack that matches it. Similarly, a partial transfer
of a .pack file cannot be safely resumed, as the actual
bytes may have changed.  This could also affect a local
client which opened the .idx and .pack files, closes the
.pack file (due to memory or file descriptor limits), and
then re-opens a changed packfile.

In all of these cases, git can detect the problem, as we
have the sha1 of the bytes themselves in the pack trailer
(which we verify on transfer), and the .idx file references
the trailer from the matching packfile. But it would be
simpler and more efficient to actually get the correct
bytes, rather than noticing the problem and having to
restart the operation.

This patch simply uses the pack trailer sha1 as the pack
name. It should be similarly unique, but covers the exact
representation of the objects. Other parts of git should not
care, as the pack name is returned by pack-objects and is
essentially opaque.

One test needs to be updated, because it actually corrupts a
pack and expects that re-packing the corrupted bytes will
use the same name. It won't anymore, but we can easily just
use the name that pack-objects hands back.
