Recent FAT workaround caused compilation trouble on OpenBSD;
different platforms use different error codes when we try to
hardlink the temporary file to its final location. Existing
Coda hack also checks its own error code, but the thing is,
the case we care about is if link failed for a reason other
than that the final file has already existed (which would be
normal, or it could mean collision). So just check the error
code against EEXIST.

This starts using the "user.name" and "user.email" config variables if
they exist as the default name and email when committing. This means
that you don't have to use the GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL environment variable
to override your email - you can just edit the config file instead.
The patch looks bigger than it is because it makes the default name and
email information non-static and renames it appropriately. And it moves
the common git environment variables into a new library file, so that
you can link against libgit.a and get the git environment without having
to link in zlib and libcrypt.
In short, most of it is renaming and moving, the real change core is
just a few new lines in "git_default_config()" that copies the user
config values to the new base.
It also changes "git-var -l" to list the config variables.

The http commit walker cannot use the same temporary file
creation code because it needs to use predictable temporary
filename for partial fetch continuation purposes, but the code
to move the temporary file to the final location should be
usable from the ordinary object creation codepath.
Export move_temp_to_file from sha1_file.c and use it, while
losing the custom relink_or_rename function from http-fetch.c.
Also the temporary object file creation part needs to make sure
the leading path exists, in preparation of the really lazy

This makes it possible to have a "sparse" git object subdirectory
structure, something that has become much more attractive now that people
use pack-files all the time.
As a result of pack-files, a git object directory doesn't necessarily have
any individual objects lying around, and in that case it's just wasting
space to keep the empty first-level object directories around: on many
filesystems the 256 empty directories will be aboue 1MB of diskspace.
Even more importantly, after you re-pack a project that _used_ to be
unpacked, you could be left with huge directories that no longer contain
anything, but that waste space and take time to look through.
With this change, "git prune-packed" can just do an rmdir() on the
directories, and they'll get removed if empty, and re-created on demand.
This patch also tries to fix up "write_sha1_from_fd()" to use the new
common infrastructure for creating the object files, closing a hole where
we might otherwise leave half-written objects in the object database.
[jc: I unoptimized the part that really removes the fan-out directories
to ease transition. init-db still wastes 1MB of diskspace to hold 256
empty fan-outs, and prune-packed rmdir()'s the grown but empty directories,
but runs mkdir() immediately after that -- reducing the saving from 150KB
to 146KB. These parts will be re-introduced when everybody has the
on-demand capability.]

An entry in the alternates file can name a directory relative to
the object store it describes. A typical linux-2.6 maintainer
repository would have "../../../torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects" there,
because the subsystem maintainer object store would live in
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/$u/$system.git/objects/
and the object store of Linus tree is in
/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git/objects/
This unfortunately is different from GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
which is relative to the cwd of the running process, but there is no
way to make it consistent with the behaviour of the environment

a naked repository, or one level up for a repository with a working

Make a separate helper for parsing the header of an object file
(really carefully) and for unpacking the rest. This means that
anybody who uses the "unpack_sha1_header()" interface can easily
look at the header and decide to unpack the rest too, without
doing any extra work.
It's for people who aren't necessarily interested in the whole
unpacked file, but do want to know the header information (size,
type, etc..)
For example, the delta code can use this to figure out whether
an object is already a delta object, and what it is a delta
against, without actually bothering to unpack all of the actual
data in the delta.
Add <limits.h> to the include files handled by "cache.h", and remove
extraneous #include directives from various .c files. The rule is that
"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system
dependencies as possible.
This makes the core code aware of delta objects and undeltafy them as
needed. The convention is to use read_sha1_file() to have
undeltafication done automatically (most users do that already so this
is transparent).
If the delta object itself has to be accessed then it must be done
through map_sha1_file() and unpack_sha1_file().
In that context mktag.c has been switched to read_sha1_file() as there
is no reason to do the full map+unpack manually.

H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is
what this patch does:
* Renames the following environment variables:
New name Old Name
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY
* Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
using an old name.
* Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
environment variable with the new name using gitenv().
* Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
distribution.
The transition plan is as follows:
* We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
for now, so the current scripts and user environments
continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when
they have old name but not new name in their environment to
the stderr.
* The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However,
just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
implementation, they should also export old names, taking
values from the corresponding new names, during the
transition period.
* After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly
call getenv() but keep using the new names.
The last part is probably optional and the transition
duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

Make it much safer: we write to a temporary file, and then link that
temporary file to the final destination. This avoids all the nasty
races if several people write the same object at the same time.
It should also result in nicer on-disk layout, since it means that
objects all get created in the same subdirectory. That makes a lot
of block allocation algorithms happier, since the objects will now
be allocated from the same zone.
A new command, git-write-blob, is introduced. This registers
the contents of any file on the filesystem as a blob in the
object database and reports its SHA1 to the standard output.
To implement it, the patch promotes index_fd() from a static

names, it just won't look up parents for you.
Of course, you can always do it by hand if you want to.
It uses the jit syntax, at least for now. 0-xxxx is the first parent of xxxx,
while 1-xxxx is the second, and so on. You can use just "-xxxx" for the first
parent, but a lot of commands will think that the initial '-' implies a
command line flag.
This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
This patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
ls-tree $tag
read-tree -m $(merge-base $tag $HEAD) $tag $HEAD
diff-cache $tag
diff-tree $tag $HEAD

Introduce xmalloc and xrealloc to die gracefully with a descriptive
message when out of memory, rather than taking a SIGSEGV.

Here is how to trigger it:
echo blob 100 > .git/objects/00/ae4e8d3208e09f2cf7a38202a126f728cadb49
Then run fsck-cache. It will try to unpack after the header to calculate
the hash, inflate returns total_out == 0 and memcpy() dies.
The patch below seems to work with ZLIB 1.1 and 1.2.

This adds two functions: one to check if an object is present in the local
database, and one to add an object to the local database by reading it
from a file descriptor and checking its hash.

We really don't care about atime, and it sucks to dirty the
inode cache just for it.
This is more than a one-liner only because we need to be able to
clear the O_NOATIME flag in case some of the objects are owned
by others (in which case open will return EPERM), and because not
everybody has the O_NOATIME flag.
This patch implements read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1(),
which can be used when you are interested in reading an unpacked
raw tree data but you do not know nor care if the SHA1 you
obtained your user is a tree ID or a commit ID. Before this
function's introduction, you would have called read_sha1_file(),
examined its type, parsed it to call read_sha1_file() again if
it is a commit, and verified that the resulting object is a
tree. Instead, this function does that for you. It returns
NULL if the given SHA1 is not either a tree or a commit.
