7415dfcc9b meson: precompile "git-compat-util.h"
Every compilation unit in Git is expected to include "git-compat-util.h"
first, either directly or indirectly via "builtin.h". This header papers
over differences between platforms so that we can expect the typical
POSIX functions to exist. Furthermore, it provides functionality that we
end up using everywhere.

This header is thus quite heavy as a consequence. Preprocessing it as a
standalone unit via `clang -E git-compat-util.h` yields over 23,000
lines of code overall. Naturally, it takes quite some time to compile
all of this.

Luckily, this is exactly the kind of use case that precompiled headers
aim to solve: instead of recompiling it every single time, we compile it
once and then link the result into the executable. If include guards are
set up properly it means that the file won't need to be reprocessed.

Set up such a precompiled header for "git-compat-util.h" and wire it up
via Meson. This leads to a significant speedup when performing full
builds:

  Benchmark 1: ninja (rev = HEAD~)
  Time (mean ± σ):     14.467 s ±  0.126 s    [User: 248.133 s, System: 31.298 s]
  Range (min … max):   14.195 s … 14.633 s    10 runs

  Benchmark 2: ninja (rev = HEAD)
    Time (mean ± σ):     10.307 s ±  0.111 s    [User: 173.290 s, System: 23.998 s]
    Range (min … max):   10.030 s … 10.433 s    10 runs

  Summary
    ninja (rev = HEAD) ran
      1.40 ± 0.02 times faster than ninja (rev = HEAD~)

f6897d7e72 builds: move build scripts into "tools/"
We have a bunch of scripts used by our different build systems that are
all located in the top-level directory. Now that we have introduced the
new "tools/" directory though we have a better home for them.

Move the scripts into the "tools/" directory.

97e8478980 contrib: move "update-unicode.sh" script into "tools/"
The "update-unicode.sh" script is used to update the unicode data
compiled into Git whenever a new version of the Unicode standard has
been released. As such, it is a natural part of our developer-facing
tooling, and its presence in "contrib/" is misleading.

Promote the script into the new "tools/" directory.

f9aa359a5d contrib: move "coverage-diff.sh" script into "tools/"
The "coverage-diff.sh" script can be used to get information about test
coverage fro the Git codebase. It is thus rather specific to our build
and test infrastructure and part of the developer-facing tooling. The
fact that this script is part of "contrib/" is thus rather misleading
and a historic wart.

Promote the tool into the new "tools/" directory.

2c74439aff contrib: move "coccinelle/" directory into "tools/"
The Coccinelle tool is an ingrained part of our build infrastructure. It
is executed by our CI to detect antipatterns and is used to detect
misuses of certain interfaces. It's presence in "contrib/" is thus
rather misleading.

bdfd8a3b39 Introduce new "tools/" directory
According to its readme, the "contrib/" directory's main intent is to
collect stuff that is not an official part of Git, either because it is
too specialized or because it is still considered experimental. The
reality tells a bit of a different story though: while it _does_ contain
such things, it also contains other things:

  - Our credential helpers, which are being distributed by many
    packagers nowadays and which can be considered "stable".

  - A bunch of tooling that relates to our build and test
    infrastructure.

Especially the second category is somewhat of a sore spot. You really
wouldn't expect build-related tooling to be considered an optional part
of Git. Quite the opposite.

Create a new top-level "tools/" directory to fix this discrepancy. This
directory will contain all kind of tools that are related to our build
infrastructure and that Git developers are likely to use day to day.

For now, this directory doesn't contain anything yet except for a
readme and a Meson skeleton. This will change in subsequent commits.

Also make platform specific part more isolated.  Currently we only

(which I dropped on the floor for now) as well.  Doing things this way

d4a9ce78f6 mailinfo and applymbox updates
This attempts to minimally cope with a subset of MIME "features" often
seen in patches sent to our mailing lists.  Namely:

 - People's name spelled in characters outside ASCII (both on From:
   header and the signed-off-by line).

 - Content-transfer-encoding using quoted-printable (both in
   multipart and non-multipart messages).

These MIME features are detected and decoded by "git mailinfo".

Optionally, with the '-u' flag, the output to .info and .msg is
transliterated from its original chaset to utf-8.  This is to
encourage people to use utf8 in their commit messages for
interoperability.

Applymbox accepts additional flag '-u' which is passed to mailinfo.

b05701c5b4 Make CFLAGS overridable from make command line.
This patch renames COPTS to CFLAGS, because it's COPTS that was user
overridable.  Also, -Wall is moved there because it's optional.  What
was CFLAGS is now ALL_CFLAGS, which users should not override.

Defines are added to DEFINES.  Since ALL_CFLAGS is recursively expanded,
it uses the final value of DEFINES.

Implicit rules are made explicit since the implicit rules use CFLAGS
rather than ALL_CFLAGS.  I believe that serious projects should not rely
on implicit rules anyway.  Percent rules are used because they are used
already and because they don't need the .SUFFIXES target.

[jc: in addition to updating the patch for 0.99.4, I fixed up a
glitch in Pavel's original patch which compiled sha1.o out of
mozilla-sha1/sha1.c, where it should have left the resulting
object file in mozilla-sha1 directory for later "ar".]

e35f982415 [PATCH] mmap error handling
I have reviewed all occurrences of mmap() in git and fixed three types
of errors/defects:

1) The result is not checked.
2) The file descriptor is closed if mmap() succeeds, but not when it
fails.
3) Various casts applied to -1 are used instead of MAP_FAILED, which is
specifically defined to check mmap() return value.

[jc: This is a second round of Pavel's patch.  He fixed up the problem
that close() potentially clobbering the errno from mmap, which
the first round had.]

1d8fa411e0 [PATCH] mailinfo: handle folded header.
Some people split their long E-mail address over two lines
using the RFC2822 header "folding".  We can lose authorship
information this way, so make a minimum effort to deal with it,
instead of special casing only the "Subject:" field.

We could teach mailsplit to unfold the folded header, but
teaching mailinfo about folding would make more sense; a single
message can be fed to mailinfo without going through mailsplit.

44d2eb51b1 [PATCH] git-format-patch-script and mailinfo updates.
- avoid duplicating [PATCH] in the commit message body if the
   original commit has it already (happens for commits done from
   mails via applymbox).

 - check if the commit author is different from the one who is
   running the script, and emit an appropriate "From:" and
   "Date: " lines to the output.

 - with '--date', emit "Date: " line to preserve the original
   author date even for the user's own commit.

 - teach mailinfo to grok not just "From: " but "Date: ".

The patch e-mail output by format-patch starts with the first
line from the original commit message, prefixed with [PATCH],
and optionally a From: line if you are reformatting a patch
obtained from somebody else, a Date: line from the original
commit if (1) --date is specified or (2) for somebody else's
patch, and the rest of the commit message body.

Expected use of this is to move the title line from the commit
to Subject: when sending it via an e-mail, and leave the From:
and the Date: lines as the first lines of your message.

The mailinfo command has been changed to read Date: (in addition
to From: it already understands) and do sensible things when
running applymbox.
