Tay Ray Chuan b0d66e156c transport: add got_remote_refs flag
transport_get_remote_refs() in tranport.c checks transport->remote_refs
to determine whether transport->get_refs_list() should be invoked.  The
logic is "if it is NULL, we haven't run ls-remote to find out yet".

However, transport->remote_refs could still be NULL while cloning from
an empty repository.  This causes get_refs_list() to be run unnecessarily.

Introduce a flag, transport->got_remote_refs, to more explicitly record
if we have run transport->get_refs_list() already.

Ilari Liusvaara 4da504608e Fix remote.<remote>.vcs
remote.<remote>.vcs causes remote->foreign_vcs to be set on entry to
transport_get(). Unfortunately, the code assumed that any such entry
is stale from previous round.

Fix this by making VCS set by URL to be volatile w.r.t. transport_get()
instead.

Tay Ray Chuan 20e8b465a5 refactor ref status logic for pushing
Move the logic that detects up-to-date and non-fast-forward refs to a
new function in remote.[ch], set_ref_status_for_push().

Make transport_push() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
the push_refs() implementation. (As a side-effect, the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c now knows of non-fast-forward
pushes.)

Removed logic for detecting up-to-date refs from the push_refs()
implementation in transport-helper.c, as transport_push() has already
done so for it.

Make cmd_send_pack() invoke set_ref_status_for_push() before invoking
send_pack(), as transport_push() can't do it for send_pack() here.

Mark the test on the return status of non-fast-forward push to fail.
Git now exits with success, as transport.c::transport_push() does not
check for refs with status REF_STATUS_REJECT_NONFASTFORWARD nor does it
indicate rejected pushes with its return value.

Mark the test for ref status to succeed. As mentioned earlier, refs
might be marked as non-fast-forwards, triggering the push status
printing mechanism in transport.c.

Daniel Barkalow c578f51d52 Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs
If this is set, the url is not required, and the transport always uses
a helper named "git-remote-<value>".

It is a separate configuration option in order to allow a sensible
configuration for foreign systems which either have no meaningful urls
for repositories or which require urls that do not specify the system
used by the repository at that location. However, this only affects
how the name of the helper is determined, not anything about the
interaction with the helper, and the contruction is such that, if the
foreign scm does happen to use a co-named url method, a url with that
method may be used directly.

For fetch and ls-remote, which use the first url of a remote, have
transport_get() determine this by passing a remote and passing NULL
for the url. For push, which uses every url of a remote, use each url
in turn if there are any, and use NULL if there are none.

This will allow the transport code to do something different if the
location is not specified with a url.

Also, have the message for a fetch say "foreign" if there is no url.

Shawn O. Pearce 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.

Daniel Barkalow c1d45cf7b0 Require a struct remote in transport_get()
cmd_ls_remote() was calling transport_get() with a NULL remote and a
non-NULL url in the case where it was run outside a git
repository. This involved a bunch of ill-tested special
cases. Instead, simply get the struct remote for the URL with
remote_get(), which works fine outside a git repository, and can also
take global options into account.

This fixes a tiny and obscure bug where "git ls-remote" without a repo
didn't support global url.*.insteadOf, even though "git clone" and
"git ls-remote" in any repo did.

Also, enforce that all callers provide a struct remote to transport_get().

Shawn O. Pearce 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.

Nicolas Pitre 86386829d4 fix simple deepening of a repo
If all refs sent by the remote repo during a fetch are reachable
locally, then no further conversation is performed with the remote. This
check is skipped when the --depth argument is provided to allow the
deepening of a shallow clone which corresponding remote repo has no
changed.

However, some additional filtering was added in commit c29727d5 to
remove those refs which are equal on both sides.  If the remote repo has
not changed, then the list of refs to give the remote process becomes
empty and simply attempting to deepen a shallow repo always fails.

Let's stop being smart in that case and simply send the whole list over
when that condition is met.  The remote will do the right thing anyways.

Test cases for this issue are also provided.

given the --quiet flag, it now passes "-q" to pack-objects,
suppressing this output.

Johannes Sixt c024beb56d run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally don't
In the case where a program was not found, it was still the task of the
caller to report an error to the user. Usually, this is an interesting case
but only few callers actually reported a specific error (though many call
sites report a generic error message regardless of the cause).

With this change the error is reported by run_command, but since there is
one call site in git.c that does not want that, an option is added to
struct child_process, which is used to turn the error off.

Johannes Sixt 0ac77ec315 run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error codes
The motivation for this change is that system call failures are serious
errors that should be reported to the user, but only few callers took the
burden to decode the error codes that the functions returned into error
messages.

If at all, then only an unspecific error message was given. A prominent
example is this:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   fatal: unable to run 'git-upload-pack'

In this example, git-upload-pack, the external command invoked through the
git wrapper, dies due to SIGPIPE, but the git wrapper does not bother to
report the real cause. In fact, this very error message is copied to the
syslog if git-daemon's client aborts the connection early.

With this change, system call failures are reported immediately after the
failure and only a generic failure code is returned to the caller. In the
above example the error is now to the point:

   $ git upload-pack . | :
   error: git-upload-pack died of signal

Note that there is no error report if the invoked program terminated with
a non-zero exit code, because it is reasonable to expect that the invoked
program has already reported an error. (But many run_command call sites
nevertheless write a generic error message.)

There was one special return code that was used to identify the case where
run_command failed because the requested program could not be exec'd. This
special case is now treated like a system call failure with errno set to
ENOENT. No error is reported in this case, because the call site in git.c
expects this as a normal result. Therefore, the callers that carefully
decoded the return value still check for this condition.

Larry D'Anna 1965ff744a add --porcelain option to git-push
If --porcelain is used git-push will produce machine-readable output.  The
output status line for each ref will be tab-separated and sent to stdout instead
of stderr.  The full symbolic names of the refs will be given.  For example

$ git push --dry-run --porcelain master :foobar 2>/dev/null \
  | perl -pe 's/\t/ TAB /g'

= TAB refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master TAB [up to date]
- TAB :refs/heads/foobar TAB [deleted]

Thomas Rast 0721c314a5 Use die_errno() instead of die() when checking syscalls
Lots of die() calls did not actually report the kind of error, which
can leave the user confused as to the real problem.  Use die_errno()
where we check a system/library call that sets errno on failure, or
one of the following that wrap such calls:

  Function              Passes on error from
