885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.

In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.

Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.

This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.

There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.

Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

4c068a9831 tree_entry(): new tree-walking helper function
This adds a "tree_entry()" function that combines the common operation of
doing a "tree_entry_extract()" + "update_tree_entry()".

It also has a simplified calling convention, designed for simple loops
that traverse over a whole tree: the arguments are pointers to the tree
descriptor and a name_entry structure to fill in, and it returns a boolean
"true" if there was an entry left to be gotten in the tree.

This allows tree traversal with

	struct tree_desc desc;
	struct name_entry entry;

	desc.buf = tree->buffer;
	desc.size = tree->size;
	while (tree_entry(&desc, &entry) {
		... use "entry.{path, sha1, mode, pathlen}" ...
	}

which is not only shorter than writing it out in full, it's hopefully less
error prone too.

[ It's actually a tad faster too - we don't need to recalculate the entry
  pathlength in both extract and update, but need to do it only once.
  Also, some callers can avoid doing a "strlen()" on the result, since
  it's returned as part of the name_entry structure.

  However, by now we're talking just 1% speedup on "git-rev-list --objects
  --all", and we're definitely at the point where tree walking is no
  longer the issue any more. ]

NOTE! Not everybody wants to use this new helper function, since some of
the tree walkers very much on purpose do the descriptor update separately
from the entry extraction. So the "extract + update" sequence still
remains as the core sequence, this is just a simplified interface.

We should probably add a silly two-line inline helper function for
initializing the descriptor from the "struct tree" too, just to cut down
on the noise from that common "desc" initializer.

15b5536ee4 Remove last vestiges of generic tree_entry_list
The old tree_entry_list is dead, long live the unified single tree
parser.

Yes, we now still have a compatibility function to create a bogus
tree_entry_list in builtin-read-tree.c, but that is now entirely local
to that very messy piece of code.

I'd love to clean read-tree.c up too, but I'm too scared right now, so
the best I can do is to just contain the damage, and try to make sure
that no new users of the tree_entry_list sprout up by not having it as
an exported interface any more.

2d9c58c69d Remove "tree->entries" tree-entry list from tree parser
Instead, just use the tree buffer directly, and use the tree-walk
infrastructure to walk the buffers instead of the tree-entry list.

The tree-entry list is inefficient, and generates tons of small
allocations for no good reason. The tree-walk infrastructure is
generally no harder to use than following a linked list, and allows
us to do most tree parsing in-place.

Some programs still use the old tree-entry lists, and are a bit
painful to convert without major surgery. For them we have a helper
function that creates a temporary tree-entry list on demand.

8f1d2e6f49 [PATCH] Compilation: zero-length array declaration.
ISO C99 (and GCC 3.x or later) lets you write a flexible array
at the end of a structure, like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[]; /* more */
	};

GCC 2.95 and 2.96 let you to do this with "char nitfol[0]";
unfortunately this is not allowed by ISO C90.

This declares such construct like this:

	struct frotz {
		int xyzzy;
		char nitfol[FLEX_ARRAY]; /* more */
	};

and git-compat-util.h defines FLEX_ARRAY to 0 for gcc 2.95 and
empty for others.

If you are using a C90 C compiler, you should be able
to override this with CFLAGS=-DFLEX_ARRAY=1 from the
command line of "make".

3c5e8468a9 ls-tree: major rewrite to do pathspec
git-ls-tree should be rewritten to use a pathspec the same way everybody
else does. Right now it's the odd man out: if you do

	git-ls-tree HEAD divers/char drivers/

it will show the same files _twice_, which is not how pathspecs in general
work.

How about this patch? It breaks some of the git-ls-tree tests, but it
makes git-ls-tree work a lot more like other git pathspec commands, and it
removes more than 150 lines by re-using the recursive tree traversal (but
the "-d" flag is gone for good, so I'm not pushing this too hard).

4a4e6fd74f Rework object refs tracking to reduce memory usage
Store pointers to referenced objects in a variable sized array instead
of linked list.  This cuts down memory usage of utilities which use
object references; e.g., git-fsck-objects --full on the git.git
repository consumes about 2 MB of memory tracked by Massif instead of
7 MB before the change.  Object refs are still the biggest consumer of
memory (57%), but the malloc overhead for a single block instead of a
linked list is substantially smaller.

b155725dae [PATCH] Fix oversimplified optimization for add_cache_entry().
An earlier change to optimize directory-file conflict check
broke what "read-tree --emu23" expects.  This is fixed by this
commit.

(1) Introduces an explicit flag to tell add_cache_entry() not to
    check for conflicts and use it when reading an existing tree
    into an empty stage --- by definition this case can never
    introduce such conflicts.

(2) Makes read-cache.c:has_file_name() and read-cache.c:has_dir_name()
    aware of the cache stages, and flag conflict only with paths
    in the same stage.

6af1f0192f [PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.

Namely, the changes are:

 - Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
   restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
   out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
   this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.

 - Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
   sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
   without argument).

 - Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
   file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
   children.

 - With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
   descends into it if it is a tree.

 - With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
   children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
   recursively.

This is still request-for-comments patch.  There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.

The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes.  Namely:

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
   path0.  It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
   showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
   path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.

 * "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
   children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
   recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
   paths/baz/b.

bd2c39f58f [PATCH] don't load and decompress objects twice with parse_object()
It turns out that parse_object() is loading and decompressing given
object to free it just before calling the specific object parsing
function which does mmap and decompress the same object again. This
patch introduces the ability to parse specific objects directly from a
memory buffer.

Without this patch, running git-fsck-cache on the kernel repositorytake:

	real    0m13.006s
	user    0m11.421s
	sys     0m1.218s

With this patch applied:

	real    0m8.060s
	user    0m7.071s
	sys     0m0.710s

The performance increase is significant, and this is kind of a
prerequisite for sane delta object support with fsck.
