git cherry-pick fails when picking a non-ff commit that is empty. The advice
given with the failure is that a git-commit --allow-empty should be issued to
explicitly add the empty commit during the cherry pick. This option allows a
user to specify before hand that they want to keep the empty commit. This
eliminates the need to issue both a cherry pick and a commit operation.

When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack
-Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are
exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will
be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git
prune".
Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the
pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those
loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case,
it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step
entirely for these objects.
This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration
information and avoid writing these objects out. It also
teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to
repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to
pack-objects) so that this optimization happens
automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

The user can say "git push" without specifying any refspec. When using
the "upstream" semantics via the push.default configuration, the user
wants to update the "upstream" branch of the current branch, which is the
branch at a remote repository the current branch is set to integrate with,
with this command.
However, there are cases that such a "git push" that uses the "upstream"
semantics does not make sense:
- The current branch does not have branch.$name.remote configured. By
definition, "git push" that does not name where to push to will not
know where to push to. The user may explicitly say "git push $there",
but again, by definition, no branch at repository $there is set to
integrate with the current branch in this case and we wouldn't know
which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have branch.$name.remote configured, but it
does not specify branch.$name.merge that names what branch at the
remote this branch integrates with. "git push" knows where to push in
this case (or the user may explicitly say "git push $remote" to tell us
where to push), but we do not know which remote branch to update.
- The current branch does have its remote and upstream branch configured,
but the user said "git push $there", where $there is not the remote
named by "branch.$name.remote". By definition, no branch at repository
$there is set to integrate with the current branch in this case, and
this push is not meant to update any branch at the remote repository
$there.
The first two cases were already checked correctly, but the third case was
not checked and we ended up updating the branch named branch.$name.merge
at repository $there, which was totally bogus.

If a remote repo has too many tags (or branches), cloning it over the
smart HTTP transport can fail because remote-curl.c puts all the refs
from the remote repo on the fetch-pack command line. This can make the
command line longer than the global OS command line limit, causing
fetch-pack to fail.
This is especially a problem on Windows where the command line limit is
orders of magnitude shorter than Linux. There are already real repos out
there that msysGit cannot clone over smart HTTP due to this problem.
Here is an easy way to trigger this problem:
git init too-many-refs
cd too-many-refs
echo bla > bla.txt
git add .
git commit -m test
sha=$(git rev-parse HEAD)
tag=$(perl -e 'print "bla" x 30')
for i in `seq 50000`; do
echo $sha refs/tags/$tag-$i >> .git/packed-refs
done
Then share this repo over the smart HTTP protocol and try cloning it:
$ git clone http://localhost/.../too-many-refs/.git
Cloning into 'too-many-refs'...
fatal: cannot exec 'fetch-pack': Argument list too long
50k tags is obviously an absurd number, but it is required to
demonstrate the problem on Linux because it has a much more generous
command line limit. On Windows the clone fails with as little as 500
tags in the above loop, which is getting uncomfortably close to the
number of tags you might see in real long lived repos.
This is not just theoretical, msysGit is already failing to clone our
company repo due to this. It's a large repo converted from CVS, nearly
10 years of history.
Four possible solutions were discussed on the Git mailing list (in no
particular order):
1) Call fetch-pack multiple times with smaller batches of refs.
This was dismissed as inefficient and inelegant.
2) Add option --refs-fd=$n to pass a an fd from where to read the refs.
This was rejected because inheriting descriptors other than
stdin/stdout/stderr through exec() is apparently problematic on Windows,
plus it would require changes to the run-command API to open extra
pipes.
3) Add option --refs-from=$tmpfile to pass the refs using a temp file.
This was not favored because of the temp file requirement.
4) Add option --stdin to pass the refs on stdin, one per line.
In the end this option was chosen as the most efficient and most
desirable from scripting perspective.
There was however a small complication when using stdin to pass refs to
fetch-pack. The --stateless-rpc option to fetch-pack also uses stdin for
communication with the remote server.
If we are going to sneak refs on stdin line by line, it would have to be
done very carefully in the presence of --stateless-rpc, because when
reading refs line by line we might read ahead too much data into our
buffer and eat some of the remote protocol data which is also coming on
stdin.
One way to solve this would be to refactor get_remote_heads() in
fetch-pack.c to accept a residual buffer from our stdin line parsing
above, but this function is used in several places so other callers
would be burdened by this residual buffer interface even when most of
them don't need it.
In the end we settled on the following solution:
If --stdin is specified without --stateless-rpc, fetch-pack would read
the refs from stdin one per line, in a script friendly format.
However if --stdin is specified together with --stateless-rpc,
fetch-pack would read the refs from stdin in packetized format
(pkt-line) with a flush packet terminating the list of refs. This way we
can read the exact number of bytes that we need from stdin, and then
get_remote_heads() can continue reading from the same fd without losing
a single byte of remote protocol data.
This way the --stdin option only loses generality and scriptability when
used together with --stateless-rpc, which is not easily scriptable
anyway because it also uses pkt-line when talking to the remote server.

When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given

Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

As we already walk the history of the branch that gets merged to
come up with a short log, let's label it with names of the primary
authors, so that the user who summarizes the merge can easily give
credit to them in the log message.
Also infer the names of "lieutents" to help integrators at higher
level of the food-chain to give credit to them, by counting:
* The committer of the 'tip' commit that is merged
* The committer of merge commits that are merged
Often the first one gives the owner of the history being pulled, but
his last pull from his sublieutenants may have been a fast-forward,
in which case the first one would not be. The latter rule will
count the integrator of the history, so together it might be a
reasonable heuristics.
There are two special cases:
- The "author" credit is omitted when the series is written solely
by the same author who is making the merge. The name can be seen
on the "Author" line of the "git log" output to view the log
message anyway.
- The "lieutenant" credit is omitted when there is only one key
committer in the merged branch and it is the committer who is
making the merge. Typically this applies to the case where the
developer merges his own branch.

verify-tag: Parse GPG configuration options.
When lying the author name via GIT_AUTHOR_NAME environment variable
to "git commit", the hooks run by the command saw it and could act
on the name that will be recorded in the final commit. When the user
uses the "--author" option from the command line, the command should
give the same information to the hook, and back when "git command"
was a scripted Porcelain, it did set the environment variable and
hooks can learn the author name from it.
However, when the command was reimplemented in C, the rewritten code
was not very faithful to the original, and hooks stopped getting the
authorship information given with "--author". Fix this by exporting
the necessary environment variables.

In the while loop inside apply_patch, patch and fragments are
dynamically allocated with a calloc. However, only unused patches
are actually freed and the rest are left to leak. Since a list is
actively built up consisting of the used patches, they can simply be
iterated and freed at the end of the function.
In addition, the text in fragments were not freed, primarily because
they mostly point into a patch text that is freed as a whole. But
there are some cases where new piece of memory is allocated and
pointed by a fragment (namely, when handling a binary patch).
Introduce a free_patch bitfield to mark each fragment if its text
needs to be freed, and free patches, fragments and fragment text
that need to be freed when we are done with the input.
