31471ba21e strbuf: avoid calling strbuf_grow() twice in strbuf_addbuf()
Implement strbuf_addbuf() as a normal function in order to avoid calling
strbuf_grow() twice, with the second callinside strbud_add() being a
no-op.  This is slightly faster and also reduces the text size a bit.

1a0c8dfd89 strbuf: give strbuf_getline() to the "most text friendly" variant
Now there is no direct caller to strbuf_getline(), we can demote it
to file-scope static that is private to strbuf.c and rename it to
strbuf_getdelim().  Rename strbuf_getline_crlf(), which is designed
to be the most "text friendly" variant, and allow it to take over
this simplest name, strbuf_getline(), so we can add more uses of it
without having to type _crlf over and over again in the coming
steps.

8f309aeb82 strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago.  No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.

By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason.  Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.

This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them.  The changes contained in this patch are:

 * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]

 * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
   either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
   respective thin wrapper.

After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller.  An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

c8aa9fdf5d strbuf: make strbuf_getline_crlf() global
Often we read "text" files that are supplied by the end user
(e.g. commit log message that was edited with $GIT_EDITOR upon 'git
commit -e'), and in some environments lines in a text file are
terminated with CRLF.  Existing strbuf_getline() knows to read a
single line and then strip the terminating byte from the result, but
it is handy to have a version that is more tailored for a "text"
input that takes both '\n' and '\r\n' as line terminator (aka
<newline> in POSIX lingo) and returns the body of the line after
stripping <newline>.

Recently reimplemented "git am" uses such a function implemented
privately; move it to strbuf.[ch] and make it available for others.

Note that we do not blindly replace calls to strbuf_getline() that
uses LF as the line terminator with calls to strbuf_getline_crlf()
and this is very much deliberate.  Some callers may want to treat an
incoming line that ends with CR (and terminated with LF) to have a
payload that includes the final CR, and such a blind replacement
will result in misconversion when done without code audit.

63af4a8446 strbuf: make stripspace() part of strbuf
This function is also used in other builtins than stripspace, so it
makes sense to have it in a more generic place.  Since it operates
on an strbuf and the function is declared in strbuf.h, move it to
strbuf.c and add the corresponding prefix to its name, just like
other API functions in the strbuf_* family.

Also switch all current users of stripspace() to the new function
name and keep a temporary wrapper inline function for any topic
branches still using stripspace().

af49c6d091 add reentrant variants of sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev
The sha1_to_hex and find_unique_abbrev functions always
write into reusable static buffers. There are a few problems
with this:

  - future calls overwrite our result. This is especially
    annoying with find_unique_abbrev, which does not have a
    ring of buffers, so you cannot even printf() a result
    that has two abbreviated sha1s.

  - if you want to put the result into another buffer, we
    often strcpy, which looks suspicious when auditing for
    overflows.

This patch introduces sha1_to_hex_r and find_unique_abbrev_r,
which write into a user-provided buffer. Of course this is
just punting on the overflow-auditing, as the buffer
obviously needs to be GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ + 1 bytes. But it is
much easier to audit, since that is a well-known size.

We retain the non-reentrant forms, which just become thin
wrappers around the reentrant ones. This patch also adds a
strbuf variant of find_unique_abbrev, which will be handy in
later patches.

fec501dae8 strbuf_addch: avoid calling strbuf_grow
We mark strbuf_addch as inline, because we expect it may be
called from a tight loop. However, the first thing it does
is call the non-inline strbuf_grow(), which can handle
arbitrary-sized growth. Since we know that we only need a
single character, we can use the inline strbuf_avail() to
quickly check whether we need to grow at all.

Our check is redundant when we do call strbuf_grow(), but
that's OK. The common case is that we avoid calling it at
all, and we have made that case faster.

On a silly pathological case:

  perl -le '
    print "[core]";
    print "key$_ = value$_" for (1..1000000)
  ' >input
  git config -f input core.key1

this dropped the time to run git-config from:

  real    0m0.159s
  user    0m0.152s
  sys     0m0.004s

to:

  real    0m0.140s
  user    0m0.136s
  sys     0m0.004s

for a savings of 12%.

f20e56e202 strbuf.h: drop boilerplate descriptions of strbuf_split_*
The description of strbuf_split_buf says most of what
needs to be said for all of the split variants that take
strings, raw memory, etc. We have a boilerplate comment
above each that points to the first. This boilerplate
ends up making it harder to read, because it spaces out the
functions, which could otherwise be read as a group.

Let's drop the boilerplate completely, and mention the
variants in the top comment. This is perhaps slightly worse
for a hypothetical system which pulls the documentation for
each function out of the comment immediately preceding it.
But such a system does not yet exist, and anyway, the end
result of extracting the boilerplate comments would not lead
to a very easy-to-read result.  We would do better in the
long run to teach the extraction system about groups of
related functions.

14e2177a40 strbuf.h: reorganize api function grouping headers
The original API doc had something like:

    Functions
    ---------

    * Life cycle

      ... some life-cycle functions ...

    * Related to the contents of the buffer

      ... functions related to contents ....

    etc

This grouping can be hard to read in the comment sources,
given the "*" in the comment lines, and the amount of text
between each section.

Instead, let's make a flat list of groupings, and underline
each as a section header. That makes them stand out, and
eliminates the weird half-phrase of "Related to...". Like:

    Functions related to the contents of the buffer

bdfdaa4978 strbuf.h: integrate api-strbuf.txt documentation
Some of strbuf is documented as comments above functions,
and some is separate in Documentation/technical/api-strbuf.txt.
This makes it annoying to find the appropriate documentation.
We'd rather have it all in one place, which means all in the
text document, or all in the header.

Let's choose the header as that place. Even though the
formatting is not quite as pretty, this keeps the
documentation close to the related code.  The hope is that
this makes it easier to find what you want (human-readable
comments are right next to the C declarations), and easier
for writers to keep the documentation up to date.

This is more or less a straight import of the text from
api-strbuf.txt into C comments, complete with asciidoc
formatting. The exceptions are:

 1. All comments created in this way are started with "/**"
    to indicate they are part of the API documentation. This
    may help later with extracting the text to pretty-print
    it.

 2. Function descriptions do not repeat the function name,
    as it is available in the context directly below.  So:

      `strbuf_add`::

          Add data of given length to the buffer.

    from api-strbuf.txt becomes:

      /**
       * Add data of given length to the buffer.
       */
      void strbuf_add(struct strbuf *sb, const void *, size_t);

    As a result, any block-continuation required in asciidoc
    for that list item was dropped in favor of straight
    blank-line paragraph (since it is not necessary when we
    are not in a list item).

 3. There is minor re-wording to integrate existing comments
    and api-strbuf text. In each case, I took whichever
    version was more descriptive, and eliminated any
    redundancies. In one case, for strbuf_addstr, the api
    documentation gave its inline definition; I eliminated
    this as redundant with the actual definition, which can
    be seen directly below the comment.

 4. The functions in the header file are re-ordered to match
    the ordering of the API documentation, under the
    assumption that more thought went into the grouping
    there.

30a0ddb705 strbuf: add xstrfmt helper
You can use a strbuf to build up a string from parts, and
then detach it. In the general case, you might use multiple

with:

  str = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL);

an extra variable, which can clutter the code) by
introducing a convenience function:

88d5a6f6cd daemon/config: factor out duplicate xstrdup_tolower
We have two implementations of the same function; let's drop
that to one. We take the name from daemon.c, but the
implementation (which is just slightly more efficient) from
the config code.

079b546a29 strbuf: create strbuf_humanise_bytes() to show byte sizes
Humanization of downloaded size is done in the same function as text
formatting in 'process.c'. The code cannot be reused easily elsewhere.

Separate text formatting from size simplification and make the
function public in strbuf so that it can easily be used by other
callers.

We now can use strbuf_humanise_bytes() for both downloaded size and
download speed calculation. One of the drawbacks is that speed will
now look like this when download is stalled: "0 bytes/s" instead of
"0 KiB/s".

eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

be7baf913a Merge branch 'mh/unify-xml-in-imap-send-and-http-push'
Update imap-send to reuse xml quoting code from http-push codepath,
clean up some code, and fix a small bug.

* mh/unify-xml-in-imap-send-and-http-push:
  wrap_in_html(): process message in bulk rather than line-by-line
  wrap_in_html(): use strbuf_addstr_xml_quoted()
  imap-send: change msg_data from storing (ptr, len) to storing strbuf
  imap-send: correctly report errors reading from stdin
  imap-send: store all_msgs as a strbuf
  lf_to_crlf(): NUL-terminate msg_data::data
  xml_entities(): use function strbuf_addstr_xml_quoted()
  Add new function strbuf_add_xml_quoted()

5963c0367f Add new function strbuf_add_xml_quoted()
Substantially the same code is present in http-push.c and imap-send.c,
so make a library function out of it.

17b73dc699 strbuf_split*(): rename "delim" parameter to "terminator"
The word "delimiter" suggests that the argument separates the
substrings, whereas in fact (1) the delimiter characters are included
in the output, and (2) if the input string ends with the delimiter,
then the output does not include a final empty string.  So rename the
"delim" arguments of the strbuf_split() family of functions to
"terminator", which is more suggestive of how it is used.

translators. For example

    printf("hello world\n");

can be converted to

    printf_ln(_("hello world"));
