Shawn O. Pearce 77ccc5bbd1 Introduce new config option for mmap limit.
Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a
per-repository basis depending on the size of the repository
and the capabilities of their operating system.

In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window
implementation.

Shawn O. Pearce 4d703a1a90 Replace unpack_entry_gently with unpack_entry.
The unpack_entry_gently function currently has only two callers:
the delta base resolution in sha1_file.c and the main loop of
pack-check.c.  Both of these must change to using unpack_entry
directly when we implement sliding window mmap logic, so I'm doing
it earlier to help break down the change set.

This may cause a slight performance decrease for delta base
resolution as well as for pack-check.c's verify_packfile(), as
the pack use counter will be incremented and decremented for every
object that is unpacked.

Junio C Hamano d2c11a38c4 UTF-8: introduce i18n.logoutputencoding.
It is plausible for somebody to want to view the commit log in a
different encoding from i18n.commitencoding -- the project's
policy may be UTF-8 and the user may be using a commit message
hook to run iconv to conform to that policy (and either not have
i18n.commitencoding to default to UTF-8 or have it explicitly
set to UTF-8).  Even then, Latin-1 may be more convenient for
the usual pager and the terminal the user uses.

The new variable i18n.logoutputencoding is used in preference to
i18n.commitencoding to decide what encoding to recode the log
output in when git-log and friends formats the commit log message.

We broke the discipline Linus set up to allow compiler help us
avoid typos in environment names in the early days of git over

system.

I've left out variable names specific to subsystems such as HTTP

Shawn O. Pearce a7f196a746 Default GIT_COMMITTER_NAME to login name in recieve-pack.
If GIT_COMMITTER_NAME is not available in receive-pack but reflogs
are enabled we would normally die out with an error message asking
the user to correct their environment settings.

Now that reflogs are enabled by default in (what we guessed to be)
non-bare Git repositories this may cause problems for some users
who don't have their full name in the gecos field and who don't
have access to the remote system to correct the problem.

So rather than die()'ing out in receive-pack when we try to log a
ref change and have no committer name we default to the username,
as obtained from the host's password database.

Shawn O. Pearce 0bee591869 Enable reflogs by default in any repository with a working directory.
New and experienced Git users alike are finding out too late that
they forgot to enable reflogs in the current repository, and cannot
use the information stored within it to recover from an incorrectly
entered command such as `git reset --hard HEAD^^^` when they really
meant HEAD^^ (aka HEAD~2).

So enable reflogs by default in all future versions of Git, unless
the user specifically disables it with:

  [core]
    logAllRefUpdates = false

in their .git/config or ~/.gitconfig.

We only enable reflogs in repositories that have a working directory
associated with them, as shared/bare repositories do not have
an easy means to prune away old log entries, or may fail logging
entirely if the user's gecos information is not valid during a push.
This heuristic was suggested on the mailing list by Junio.

Documentation was also updated to indicate the new default behavior.
We probably should start to teach usuing the reflog to recover
from mistakes in some of the tutorial material, as new users are
likely to make a few along the way and will feel better knowing
they can recover from them quickly and easily, without fsck-objects'
lost+found features.

Nicolas Pitre da093d3750 improve fetch-pack's handling of kept packs
Since functions in fetch-clone.c were only used from fetch-pack.c,
its content has been merged with fetch-pack.c.  This allows for better
coupling of features with much simpler implementations.

One new thing is that the (abscence of) --thin also enforce it on
index-pack now, such that index-pack will abort if a thin pack was
_not_ asked for.

The -k or --keep, when provided twice, now causes the fetched pack
to be left as a kept pack just like receive-pack currently does.
Eventually this will be used to close a race against concurrent
repacking.

Shawn Pearce fc04c412d8 Teach receive-pack how to keep pack files based on object count.
Since keeping a pushed pack or exploding it into loose objects
should be a local repository decision this teaches receive-pack
to decide if it should call unpack-objects or index-pack --stdin
--fix-thin based on the setting of receive.unpackLimit and the
number of objects contained in the received pack.

If the number of objects (hdr_entries) in the received pack is
below the value of receive.unpackLimit (which is 5000 by default)
then we unpack-objects as we have in the past.

If the hdr_entries >= receive.unpackLimit then we call index-pack and
ask it to include our pid and hostname in the .keep file to make it
easier to identify why a given pack has been kept in the repository.

Currently this leaves every received pack as a kept pack.  We really
don't want that as received packs will tend to be small.  Instead we
want to delete the .keep file automatically after all refs have
been updated.  That is being left as room for future improvement.

Nicolas Pitre eb32d236df introduce delta objects with offset to base
This adds a new object, namely OBJ_OFS_DELTA, renames OBJ_DELTA to
OBJ_REF_DELTA to better make the distinction between those two delta
objects, and adds support for the handling of those new delta objects
in sha1_file.c only.

The OBJ_OFS_DELTA contains a relative offset from the delta object's
position in a pack instead of the 20-byte SHA1 reference to identify
the base object.  Since the base is likely to be not so far away, the
relative offset is more likely to have a smaller encoding on average
than an absolute offset.  And for those delta objects the base must
always be stored first because there is no way to know the distance of
later objects when streaming a pack.  Hence this relative offset is
always meant to be negative.

The offset encoding is slightly denser than the one used for object
size -- credits to <linux@horizon.com> (whoever this is) for bringing
it to my attention.

This allows for pack size reduction between 3.2% (Linux-2.6) to over 5%
(linux-historic).  Runtime pack access should be faster too since delta
replay does skip a search in the pack index for each delta in a chain.

Nicolas Pitre 43057304c0 many cleanups to sha1_file.c
Those cleanups are mainly to set the table for the support of deltas
with base objects referenced by offsets instead of sha1.  This means
that many pack lookup functions are converted to take a pack/offset
tuple instead of a sha1.

This eliminates many struct pack_entry usages since this structure
carried redundent information in many cases, and it increased stack
footprint needlessly for a couple recursively called functions that used
to declare a local copy of it for every recursion loop.

In the process, packed_object_info_detail() has been reorganized as well
so to look much saner and more amenable to deltas with offset support.

Finally the appropriate adjustments have been made to functions that
depend on the above changes.  But there is no functionality changes yet
simply some code refactoring at this point.

Linus Torvalds ed378ec7e8 Make ref resolution saner
The old code used to totally mix up the notion of a ref-name and the path
that that ref was associated with.  That was not only horribly ugly (a
number of users got the path, and then wanted to try to turn it back into
a ref-name again), but it fundamnetally doesn't work at all once we do any
setup where a ref doesn't have a 1:1 relationship with a particular
pathname.

This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only
turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem.
That makes a lot of things much clearer and more straightforward.

Junio C Hamano 106d710bc1 pack-objects --unpacked=<existing pack> option.
Incremental repack without -a essentially boils down to:

	rev-list --objects --unpacked --all |
        pack-objects $new_pack

which picks up all loose objects that are still live and creates
a new pack.

This implements --unpacked=<existing pack> option to tell the
revision walking machinery to pretend as if objects in such a
pack are unpacked for the purpose of object listing.  With this,
we could say:

	rev-list --objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all |
	pack-objects $new_pack

instead, to mean "all live loose objects but pretend as if
objects that are in this pack are also unpacked".  The newly
created pack would be perfect for updating $active_pack by
replacing it.

Since pack-objects now knows how to do the rev-list's work
itself internally, you can also write the above example by:

	pack-objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all $new_pack </dev/null

Linus Torvalds 9a8e35e987 Relative timestamps in git log
I noticed that I was looking at the kernel gitweb output at some point
rather than just do "git log", simply because I liked seeing the
simplified date-format, ie the "5 days ago" rather than a full date.

This adds infrastructure to do that for "git log" too. It does NOT add the
actual flag to enable it, though, so right now this patch is a no-op, but
it should now be easy to add a command line flag (and possibly a config
file option) to just turn on the "relative" date format.

The exact cut-off points when it switches from days to weeks etc are
totally arbitrary, but are picked somewhat to avoid the "1 weeks ago"
thing (by making it show "10 days ago" rather than "1 week", or "70
minutes ago" rather than "1 hour ago").

Junio C Hamano 40aaae88ad Better error message when we are unable to lock the index file
Most of the callers except the one in refs.c use the function to
update the index file.  Among the index writers, everybody
except write-tree dies if they cannot open it for writing.

This gives the function an extra argument, to tell it to die
when it cannot create a new file as the lockfile.

The only caller that does not have to die is write-tree, because
updating the index for the cache-tree part is optional and not
being able to do so does not affect the correctness.  I think we
do not have to be so careful and make the failure into die() the
same way as other callers, but that would be a different patch.

Linus Torvalds 93821bd97a sha1_file: add the ability to parse objects in "pack file format"
The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.

A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.

Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

Johannes Schindelin 6d297f8137 Status update on merge-recursive in C
This is just an update for people being interested. Alex and me were
busy with that project for a few days now. While it has progressed nicely,
there are quite a couple TODOs in merge-recursive.c, just search for "TODO".

For impatient people: yes, it passes all the tests, and yes, according
to the evil test Alex did, it is faster than the Python script.

But no, it is not yet finished. Biggest points are:

- there are still three external calls
- in the end, it should not be necessary to write the index more than once
  (just before exiting)
- a lot of things can be refactored to make the code easier and shorter

BTW we cannot just plug in git-merge-tree yet, because git-merge-tree
does not handle renames at all.

This patch is meant for testing, and as such,

- it compile the program to git-merge-recur
- it adjusts the scripts and tests to use git-merge-recur instead of
  git-merge-recursive
- it provides "TEST", a script to execute the tests regarding -recursive
- it inlines the changes to read-cache.c (read_cache_from(), discard_cache()
  and refresh_cache_entry())

Linus Torvalds 2718ff098a Improve git-peek-remote
This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that
git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no
http[s]: or rsync: support).

The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of
"--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces
git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups,
but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).

The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just
regular tags and heads, of course.

You can still also ask to limit them by name too.

You can combine the flags, so

	git peek-remote --refs --tags .

will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups
(compare the output without the "--refs" flag).

And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for
example) any special refs outside of the standard locations.

I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask
it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's
an independent thing.

All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper.

With the change in default, "git add ." on kernel dir is about
twice as fast as before, with only minimal (0.5%) change in
object size. The speed difference is even more noticeable
when committing large files, which is now up to 8 times faster.

The configurability is through setting core.compression = [-1..9]
which maps to the zlib constants; -1 is the default, 0 is no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9
being slowest.

Linus Torvalds 855419f764 Add specialized object allocator
This creates a simple specialized object allocator for basic
objects.

This avoids wasting space with malloc overhead (metadata and
extra alignment), since the specialized allocator knows the
alignment, and that objects, once allocated, are never freed.

It also allows us to track some basic statistics about object
allocations. For example, for the mozilla import, it shows
object usage as follows:

     blobs:   627629 (14710 kB)
     trees:  1119035 (34969 kB)
   commits:   196423  (8440 kB)
      tags:     1336    (46 kB)

and the simpler allocator shaves off about 2.5% off the memory
footprint off a "git-rev-list --all --objects", and is a bit
faster too.

[ Side note: this concludes the series of "save memory in object storage".
  The thing is, there simply isn't much more to be saved on the objects.

  Doing "git-rev-list --all --objects" on the mozilla archive has a final
  total RSS of 131498 pages for me: that's about 513MB. Of that, the
  object overhead is now just 56MB, the rest is going somewhere else (put
  another way: the fact that this patch shaves off 2.5% of the total
  memory overhead, considering that objects are now not much more than 10%
  of the total shows how big the wasted space really was: this makes
  object allocations much more memory- and time-efficient).

  I haven't looked at where the rest is, but I suspect the bulk of it is
  just the pack-file loading. It may be that we should pack the tree
  objects separately from the blob objects: for git-rev-list --objects, we
  don't actually ever need to even look at the blobs, but since trees and
  blobs are interspersed in the pack-file, we end up not being dense in
  the tree accesses, so we end up looking at more pages than we strictly
  need to.

  So with a 535MB pack-file, it's entirely possible - even likely - that
  most of the remaining RSS is just the mmap of the pack-file itself. We
  don't need to map in _all_ of it, but we do end up mapping a fair
  amount. ]

Linus Torvalds 405e5b2fe0 Libify the index refresh logic
This cleans up and libifies the "git update-index --[really-]refresh"
functionality. This will be eventually required for eventually doing the
"commit" and "status" commands as built-ins.

It really just moves "refresh_index()" from update-index.c to
read-cache.c, but it also has to change the calling convention so that the
function uses a "unsigned int flags" argument instead of various static
flags variables for passing down the information about whether to be quiet
or not, and allow unmerged entries etc.

That actually cleans up update-index.c too, since it turns out that all
those flags were really specific to that one function of the index update,
so they shouldn't have had file-scope visibility even before.

Junio C Hamano 0660626caf binary diff: further updates.
This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.

 * "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
   binary patch.  It implies --full-index and -p.

 * "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
   "apply --binary".

 * After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
   to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
   can extend it later.  Currently there are two mechanisms
   defined: "literal" and "delta".  The former records the
   deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
   from the preimage to postimage.

   For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
   length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
   decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
   inflating).  Improvement patches are very welcomed.

Junio C Hamano 051308f6e9 binary patch.
This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.

On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line.  This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case.  However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.

This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option.  The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:

	"GIT binary patch\n"
	<length byte><data>"\n"
	...
	"\n"

Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...).  <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding.  Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters.  The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.

On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

 - none of the arguments we parsed as revisions could be

This also uses the improved error reporting for all the other git commands

Linus Torvalds 5ee2ad654b Make "git clone" less of a deathly quiet experience
It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.

Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).

So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:

	[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
	Packing 188543 objects
	  48.398MB  (154 kB/s)

where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").

Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is  big step forward, I think.

Junio C Hamano 5f73076c1a "Assume unchanged" git
This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:

	<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>

This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of.  On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.

You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:

	git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
	git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...

These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file.  Nor they add a new
entry to the index.

When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:

 - update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
   index file.

 - when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.

 - when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
   tree file and register the current object name to the index file.

The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry.  This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.

Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time.  However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:

 - while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
   that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
   modifications.  This sacrifices performance for safety.

 - when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
   to checkout the paths.  Otherwise you can never check
   anything out ;-).

 - when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
   see if the index entry is up to date.  You can start with
   everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
   CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.

Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".

This version is not expected to be perfect.  I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.

But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

When overriding DT_* macro detection with NO_D_TYPE_IN_DIRENT (recent
Cygwin build problem, which hopefully is already fixed in their CVS

we use them.  If the platform defines DT_* macro but with unusable
d_type, this would have resulted in us redefining these preprocessor
symbols.

Admittedly, that would be just a couple of compilation warnings, and
on Cygwin at least this particular problem is transitory (the problem
