609a2289d7 Improve accuracy of check for presence of deflateBound.
ZLIB_VERNUM isn't defined in some zlib versions, so this patch does a proper
linking test in autoconf to see whether deflateBound exists in zlib. Also,
setting NO_DEFLATE_BOUND will also work for folk not using autoconf.

ab2ca02541 Merge branch 'js/forkexec'
Note that cmd->err is not treated in run-command.c. In particular, the
pipe end is not inherited by the child process.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!

cmd->err is only required by upload-pack. But in the MinGW case upload-pack
does not support the sideband and the stderr of pack-objects is expected to
be routed to stderr: Since in the MinGW case the stderr pipe is not read
by upload-pack, the stderr of pack-objects must not be connected to the
pipe.

98158e9cfd Change git_connect() to return a struct child_process instead of a pid_t.
This prepares the API of git_connect() and finish_connect() to operate on
a struct child_process. Currently, we just use that object as a placeholder
for the pid that we used to return. A follow-up patch will change the
implementation of git_connect() and finish_connect() to make full use
of the object.

Old code had early-return-on-error checks at the calling sites of
git_connect(), but since git_connect() dies on errors anyway, these checks
were removed.

There's a number of tricky conflicts between master and
this topic right now due to the rewrite of builtin-push.
Junio must have handled these via rerere; I'd rather not
deal with them again so I'm pre-merging master into the

It no longer compiles on its own without the strbuf API.

Factor out the code to parse --date=<format> parameter to revision
walkers into a separate function, parse_date_format().  This function
is passed a string and converts it to an enum date_format:

 - "relative"         => DATE_RELATIVE
 - "iso8601" or "iso" => DATE_ISO8601
 - "rfc2822"          => DATE_RFC2822
 - "short"            => DATE_SHORT
 - "local"            => DATE_LOCAL
 - "default"          => DATE_NORMAL

In the event that none of these strings is found, the function die()s.

b888d61c83 Make fetch a builtin
Thanks to Johannes Schindelin for review and fixes, and Julian
Phillips for the original C translation.

This changes a few small bits of behavior:

branch.<name>.merge is parsed as if it were the lhs of a fetch
refspec, and does not have to exactly match the actual lhs of a
refspec, so long as it is a valid abbreviation for the same ref.

branch.<name>.merge is no longer ignored if the remote is configured
with a branches/* file. Neither behavior is useful, because there can
only be one ref that gets fetched, but this is more consistant.

Also, fetch prints different information to standard out.

5ecd293d14 Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their
  result if any. In that case, it also returns 1, else it returns 0.
* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
  call them this way:
    convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
  When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
  content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.

If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:

    int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
    {
        int ret = 0;
        ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ret |= filter2(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;
        }
        ....
        return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
    }

That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten
to work this way.

aecbf914c4 git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from
"git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns
out to be a bad idea.  It robbed cache-dirty information from people
who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh".
It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational
value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the
user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it
made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore.

This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist.

By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out
from "git diff" output.  At the end of the command, it automatically
runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the
user.  In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness
do not even have to see the warning.

The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing
the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the
configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

af3785dc5a Optimize "diff --cached" performance.
The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()).  The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic.  The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.

When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry().  This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.

For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed.  We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.

This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().

This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist?  Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache.  The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.

e90fdc39b6 Clean up work-tree handling
The old version of work-tree support was an unholy mess, barely readable,
and not to the point.

For example, why do you have to provide a worktree, when it is not used?
As in "git status".  Now it works.

Another riddle was: if you can have work trees inside the git dir, why
are some programs complaining that they need a work tree?

IOW it is allowed to call

	$ git --git-dir=../ --work-tree=. bla

when you really want to.  In this case, you are both in the git directory
and in the working tree.  So, programs have to actually test for the right
thing, namely if they are inside a working tree, and not if they are
inside a git directory.

Also, GIT_DIR=../.git should behave the same as if no GIT_DIR was
specified, unless there is a repository in the current working directory.
It does now.

The logic to determine if a repository is bare, or has a work tree
(tertium non datur), is this:

--work-tree=bla overrides GIT_WORK_TREE, which overrides core.bare = true,
which overrides core.worktree, which overrides GIT_DIR/.. when GIT_DIR
ends in /.git, which overrides the directory in which .git/ was found.

In related news, a long standing bug was fixed: when in .git/bla/x.git/,
which is a bare repository, git formerly assumed ../.. to be the
appropriate git dir.  This problem was reported by Shawn Pearce to have
caused much pain, where a colleague mistakenly ran "git init" in "/" a
long time ago, and bare repositories just would not work.

c4fba0a358 Rename read_pipe() with read_fd() and make its buffer nul-terminated.
The new name is closer to the purpose of the function.

A NUL-terminated buffer makes things easier when callers need that.
Since the function returns only the memory written with data,
almost always allocating more space than needed because final
size is unknown, an extra NUL terminating the buffer is harmless.
It is not included in the returned size, so the function
remains working as before.

Also, now the function allows the buffer passed to be NULL at first,
and alloc_nr is now used for growing the buffer, instead size=*2.

06f59e9f5d Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpful
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.

This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0".  This latter can
speed up a command such as:

GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l

a tiny amount.

9378c16135 Add core.quotepath configuration variable.
We always quote "unusual" byte values in a pathname using
C-string style, to make it safer for parsing scripts that do not
handle NUL separated records well (or just too lazy to bother).
The absolute minimum bytes that need to be quoted for this
purpose are TAB, LF (and other control characters), double quote
and backslash.

However, we have also always quoted the bytes in high 8-bit
range; this was partly because we were lazy and partly because
we were being cautious.

This introduces an internal "quote_path_fully" variable, and
core.quotepath configuration variable to control it.  When set
to false, it does not quote bytes in high 8-bit range anymore
but passes them intact.

The variable defaults to "true" to retain the traditional
behaviour for now.
