bb05510e55 t5510: run auto-gc in the foreground
The last test added to 't5510-fetch' in 0898c96281 (fetch: release
pack files before garbage-collecting, 2016-01-13) may sporadically
trigger following error message from the test harness:

  rm: cannot remove 'trash directory.t5510-fetch/auto-gc/.git': Directory not empty

The test in question forces an auto-gc, which, if the system supports
it, runs in the background by default, and occasionally takes long
enough for the test to finish and for 'test_done' to start
housekeeping.  This can lead to the test's 'git gc --auto' in the
background and 'test_done's 'rm -rf $trash' in the foreground racing
each other to create and delete files and directories.  It might just
happen that 'git gc' re-creates a directory that 'rm -rf' already
visited and removed, which ultimately triggers the above error.

Disable detaching the auto-gc process to ensure that it finishes
before the test can continue, thus avoiding this racy situation.

f924b52a77 Windows: add pthread_sigmask() that does nothing
A previous change introduced a call to pthread_sigmask() in order to block
SIGPIPE in a thread. Since there are no signal facilities on Windows that
are similar to POSIX signals, just ignore the request to block the signal.
In the particular case, the effect of blocking SIGPIPE on POSIX is that
write() calls return EPIPE when the reader closes the pipe. This is how
write() behaves on Windows.

9cea46cdda pack-objects: warn on split packs disabling bitmaps
It can be tempting for a server admin to want a stable set of
long-lived packs for dumb clients; but also want to enable bitmaps
to serve smart clients more quickly.

Unfortunately, such a configuration is impossible; so at least warn
users of this incompatibility since commit 21134714 (pack-objects:
turn off bitmaps when we split packs, 2014-10-16).

Tested the warning by inspecting the output of:

	make -C t t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh GIT_TEST_OPTS=-v

Change the rule when a streaming filter can be used:

- if the worktree eol is CRLF and "auto" is active, don't use a stream filter.
- Otherwise the stream filter can be used.

In the particular instance encountered by a colleague of yours truly,
the Win32 error code was ERROR_COMMITMENT_LIMIT which means that the

Let's make the message

	fatal: mmap failed: File too large

instead, which is only marginally better, but which can be associated

7550424804 name-rev: include taggerdate in considering the best name
We most likely want the oldest tag that contained the commit to be
reported. So let's remember the taggerdate, and make it more important
than anything else when choosing the best name for a given commit.

Suggested by Linus Torvalds.

Note that we need to update t9903 because it tested for the old behavior
(which preferred the description "b1~1" over "tags/t2~1").

We might want to introduce a --heed-taggerdate option, and make the new
behavior dependent on that, if it turns out that some scripts rely on the
old name-rev method.

c4b27511ab t5504: drop sigpipe=ok from push tests
These were added by 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to
test_must_fail and use it to fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27)
because we would racily die via SIGPIPE when the pack was
rejected by the other side.

But since we have recently de-flaked send-pack, we should be
able to tighten up these tests (including re-adding the
expected output checks).

df85757244 fetch-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
In commit 9ff18fa (fetch-pack: ignore SIGPIPE in sideband
demuxer, 2016-02-24), we started using sigchain_push() to
ignore SIGPIPE in the async demuxer thread. However, this is
rather clumsy, as it ignores SIGPIPE for the entire process,
including the main thread. At the time we didn't have any
per-thread signal support, but we now we do. Let's use it.

3e8b06d09c send-pack: isolate sigpipe in demuxer thread
If we get an error from pack-objects, we may exit
send_pack() early, before reading the server's status
response. In such a case, we may racily see SIGPIPE from our
async demuxer (which is trying to write that status back to
us), and we'd prefer to continue pushing the error up the
call stack, rather than taking down the whole process with
signal death.

This is safe to do because our demuxer just calls
recv_sideband, whose data writes are all done with
write_or_die(), which will notice SIGPIPE.

We do also write sideband 2 to stderr, and we would no
longer die on SIGPIPE there (if it were piped in the first
place, and if the piped program went away). But that's
probably a good thing, as it likewise should not abort the
push process at all (neither immediately by signal, nor
eventually by reporting failure back to the main thread).

c792d7b6ce run-command: teach async threads to ignore SIGPIPE
Async processes can be implemented as separate forked
processes, or as threads (depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting). In the latter case, if an async thread gets
SIGPIPE, it takes down the whole process. This is obviously
bad if the main process was not otherwise going to die, but
even if we were going to die, it means the main process does
not have a chance to report a useful error message.

There's also the small matter that forked async processes
will not take the main process down on a signal, meaning git
will behave differently depending on the NO_PTHREADS
setting.

This patch fixes it by adding a new flag to "struct async"
to block SIGPIPE just in the async thread. In theory, this
should always be on (which makes async threads behave more
like async processes), but we would first want to make sure
that each async process we spawn is careful about checking
return codes from write() and would not spew endlessly into
a dead pipe. So let's start with it as optional, and we can
enable it for specific sites in future patches.

The natural name for this option would be "ignore_sigpipe",
since that's what it does for the threaded case. But since
that name might imply that we are ignoring it in all cases
(including the separate-process one), let's call it
"isolate_sigpipe". What we are really asking for is
isolation. I.e., not to have our main process taken down by
signals spawned by the async process. How that is
implemented is up to the run-command code.
