9106c097ad Create object subdirectories on demand (phase II)
This removes the unoptimization.  The previous round does not mind
missing fan-out directories, but still makes sure they exist, lest
older versions choke on a repository created/packed by it.

This round does not play that nicely anymore -- empty fan-out
directories are not created by init-db, and will stay removed by
prune-packed.  The prune command also removes empty fan-out directories.

8b7e5d76e8 [PATCH] Make "gitk" work better with dense revlists
To generate the diff for a commit, gitk used to do

	git-diff-tree -p -C $p $id

(and same thing to generate filenames, except using just "-r" there) which
does actually generate the diff from the parent to the $id, exactly like
it meant to do.

However, that really sucks with --dense, where the "parent" information
has all been rewritten to point to the previous commit. The diff actually
works exactly right, but now it's the diff of the _whole_ sequence of
commits all the way to the previous commit that last changed the file(s)
that we are looking at.

And that's really not what we want 99.9% of the time, even if it may be
perfectly sensible. Not only will the diff not actually match the commit
message, but it will usually be _huge_, and all of it will be totally
uninteresting to us, since we were only interested in a particular set of
files.

It also doesn't match what we do when we write the patch to a file.

So this makes gitk just show the diff of _that_ commit.

We might even want to have some way to limit the diff to only the
filenames we're interested in, but it's often nice to see what else
changed at the same time, so that's secondary.

The merge diff handling is left alone, although I think that should also
be changed to only look at what that _particular_ merge did, not what it
did when compared to the faked-out parents.

19a7e7151d git-rev-list: do not forget non-commit refs
What happens is that the new logic decides that if it can't look up a
commit reference (ie "get_commit_reference()" returns NULL), the thing
must be a pathname.

Fair enough.

But wrong.

The thing is, it may be a perfectly fine ref that _isn't_ a commit. In
git, you have a tag that points to your PGP key, and in the kernel, I have
a tag that points to a tree (and a direct ref that points to that tree
too, for that matter).

So the rule is (as for all the other programs that mix revs and pathnames)
not that we only accept commit references, but _any_ valid object ref.

If the object then isn't a commit ref, git-rev-list will either ignore it,
or add it to the list of non-commit objects (if using "--objects").

The solution is to move the "get_sha1()" out of get_commit_reference(),
and into the callers. In fact, we already _have_ the SHA1 in the case of
the handle_all() loop, since for_each_ref() will have done it for us, so
this is the correct thing to do anyway.

This patch (on top of the original one) does exactly that.

7b34c2fae0 git-rev-list: make --dense the default (and introduce "--sparse")
This actually does three things:

 - make "--dense" the default for git-rev-list. Since dense is a no-op if
   no filenames are given, this doesn't actually change any historical
   behaviour, but it's logically the right default (if we want to prune on
   filenames, do it fully. The sparse "merge-only" thing may be useful,
   but it's not what you'd normally expect)

 - make "git-rev-parse" show the default revision control before it shows
   any pathnames.

   This was a real bug, but nobody would ever have noticed, because
   the default thing tends to only make sense for git-rev-list, and
   git-rev-list didn't use to take pathnames.

 - it changes "git-rev-list" to match the other commands that take a mix
   of revisions and filenames - it no longer requires the "--" before
   filenames (although you still need to do it if a filename could be
   confused with a revision name, eg "gitk" in the git archive)

This all just makes for much more pleasant and obvous usage. Just doing a

	gitk t/

does the obvious thing: it will show the history as it concerns the "t/"
subdirectory.

bd321bcc51 Add git-name-rev
git-name-rev tries to find nice symbolic names for commits. It does so by
walking the commits from the refs. When the symbolic name is ambiguous, the
following heuristic is applied: Try to avoid too many ~'s, and if two ambiguous
names have the same count of ~'s, take the one whose last number is smaller.

With "--tags", the names are derived only from tags.

With "--stdin", the stdin is parsed, and after every sha1 for which a name
could be found, the name is appended. (Try "git log | git name-rev --stdin".)

f3123c4ab3 pack-objects: Allow use of pre-generated pack.
git-pack-objects can reuse pack files stored in $GIT_DIR/pack-cache
directory, when a necessary pack is found.  This is hopefully useful
when upload-pack (called from git-daemon) is expected to receive
requests for the same set of objects many times (e.g full cloning
request of any project, or updates from the set of heads previous day
to the latest for a slow moving project).

Currently git-pack-objects does *not* keep pack files it creates for
reusing.  It might be useful to add --update-cache option to it,
which would allow it store pack files it created in the pack-cache
directory, and prune rarely used ones from it.

7ebb6fcafe Fix what to do and how to detect when hardlinking fails
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.

The code used to call git-rev-list to enumerate the local revisions. A
disadvantage of that method was that git-rev-list, lacking a control apart
from the command line, would happily enumerate ancestors of acknowledged
common commits, which was just taking unnecessary bandwidth.

Therefore, do not use git-rev-list on the fetching side, but rather
construct the list on the go. Send the revisions starting from the local
heads, ignoring the revisions known to be common.

0f8fdc3958 git-upload-pack: Support sending multiple ACK messages
The current fetch/upload protocol works like this:

- client sends revs it wants to have via "want" messages
- client sends a flush message (message with len 0)
- client sends revs it has via "have" messages
- after one window (32 revs), a flush is sent
- after each subsequent window, a flush is sent, and an ACK/NAK is received.
        (NAK means that server does not have any of the transmitted revs;
         ACK sends also the sha1 of the rev server has)
 - when the first ACK is received, client sends "done", and does not expect
        any further messages

One special case, though:

- if no ACK is received (only NAK's), and client runs out of revs to send,
        "done" is sent, and server sends just one more "NAK"

A smarter scheme, which actually has a chance to detect more than one
common rev, would be to send more than just one ACK. This patch implements
the server side of the following extension to the protocol:

- client sends at least one "want" message with "multi_ack" appended, like

        "want 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 multi_ack"

- if the server understands that extension, it will send ACK messages for all
        revs it has, not just the first one

- server appends "continue" to the ACK messages like

        "ACK 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890 continue"

        until it has MAX_HAS-1 revs. In this manner, client knows when to
        stop sending revs by checking for the substring "continue" (and
        further knows that server understands multi_ack)

In this manner, the protocol stays backwards compatible, since both client
must send "want ... multi_ack" and server must answer with "ACK ...
continue" to enable the extension.

1b9e059d35 git-rev-list: add "--dense" flag
This is what the recent git-rev-list changes have all been gearing up for.

When we use a path filter to git-rev-list, the new "--dense" flag asks
git-rev-list to compress the history so that it _only_ contains commits
that change files in the path filter.  It also rewrites the parent
information so that tools like "gitk" will see the result as a dense
history tree.

For example, on the current kernel archive:

	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
	9904
	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- kernel | wc -l
	5442
	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list --dense HEAD -- kernel | wc -l
	356

which shows that while we have almost ten thousand commits, we can prune
down the work to slightly more than half by only following the merges
that are interesting. But further, we can then compress the history to
just 356 entries that actually make changes to the kernel subdirectory.

To see this in action, try something like

	gitk --dense -- gitk

to see just the history that affects gitk.  Or, to show that true
parallel development still remains parallel, do

	gitk --dense -- daemon.c

which shows some parallel commits in the current git tree.

cf4845441c Teach git-rev-list to follow just a specified set of files
This is the first cut at a git-rev-list that knows to ignore commits that
don't change a certain file (or set of files).

NOTE! For now it only prunes _merge_ commits, and follows the parent where
there are no differences in the set of files specified. In the long run,
I'd like to make it re-write the straight-line history too, but for now
the merge simplification is much more fundamentally important (the
rewriting of straight-line history is largely a separate simplification
phase, but the merge simplification needs to happen early if we want to
optimize away unnecessary commit parsing).

If all parents of a merge change some of the files, the merge is left as
is, so the end result is in no way guaranteed to be a linear history, but
it will often be a lot /more/ linear than the full tree, since it prunes
out parents that didn't matter for that set of files.

As an example from the current kernel:

	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l
	9885
	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- Makefile | wc -l
	4084
	[torvalds@g5 linux]$ git-rev-list HEAD -- drivers/usb | wc -l
	5206

and you can also use 'gitk' to more visually see the pruning of the
history tree, with something like

	gitk -- drivers/usb

showing a simplified history that tries to follow the first parent in a
merge that is the parent that fully defines drivers/usb/.

ac1b3d1248 Split up tree diff functions into tree-diff.c library
This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.

This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a

Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.

The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.

Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree
itself.
