SwitchToThread() only gives away the rest of the current time slice
to another thread in the current process. So if the thread that feeds
the file decscriptor we're polling is not in the current process, we
get busy-waiting.
I played around with this quite a bit. After trying some more complex
schemes, I found that what worked best is to just sleep 1 millisecond
between iterations. Though it's a very short time, it still completely
eliminates the busy wait condition, without hurting perf.
There code uses SleepEx(1, TRUE) to sleep. See this page for a good
discussion of why that is better than calling SwitchToThread, which
is what was used previously:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1383943/switchtothread-vs-sleep1
Note that calling SleepEx(0, TRUE) does *not* solve the busy wait.
The most striking case was when testing on a UNC share with a large repo,
on a single CPU machine. Without the fix, it took 4 minutes 15 seconds,
and with the fix it took just 1:08! I think it's because git-upload-pack's
busy wait was eating the CPU away from the git process that's doing the
real work. With multi-proc, the timing is not much different, but tons of
CPU time is still wasted, which can be a killer on a server that needs to
do bunch of other things.
I also tested the very fast local case, and didn't see any measurable
difference. On a big repo with 4500 files, the upload-pack took about 2
seconds with and without the fix.

around the same time; see $gmane/247518 for a bit more detail]

Some broken subversion server gives timestamps with only one digit
in the hour part, like this:
2014-01-07T5:01:02.048176Z
Loosen the regexp that expected to see two-digit hour, minute and
second parts to accept a single-digit hour (but not minute or
second).

In large repos, the recursion implementation of contains(commit,
commit_list) may result in a stack overflow. Replace the recursion with
a loop to fix it.
This problem is more apparent on Windows than on Linux, where the stack
is more limited by default.
See also this thread on the msysGit list:
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/msysgit/FqT6boJrb2g/discussion
[jes: re-written to imitate the original recursion more closely]
Thomas Braun pointed out several documentation shortcomings.
Tests are run only if ulimit -s is available. This means they cannot
be run on Windows.

This reverts commit d508e4a8e2,
reversing changes made to e42552135a.
The author of the original topic says he broke the upcoming 2.0
release with something that relates to "synchronization crash
regression" while refusing to give further specifics, so this would
unfortunately be the safest option for the upcoming release.

Not all shells subject the prompt string to parameter expansion. Test
whether the shell will expand the value of PS1, and use the result to
control whether raw ref names are included directly in PS1.
This fixes a regression introduced in commit 8976500 ("git-prompt.sh:
don't put unsanitized branch names in $PS1"): zsh does not expand PS1
by default, but that commit assumed it did. The bug resulted in
prompts containing the literal string '${__git_ps1_branch_name}'
instead of the actual branch name.

Since git 2.0.0 starting git gui in a submodule using a gitfile fails with
the following error:
No working directory ../../../<path>
couldn't change working directory
to "../../../<path>": no such file or
directory
This is because "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" is only run when git gui
sees a git version of at least 1.7.0 (which is the version in which the
--show-toplevel option was introduced). But "package vsatisfies" returns
false when the major version changes, which is not what we want here.
Fix that for both places where the git version is checked using vsatisfies
by appending a '-' to the version number. This tells vsatisfies that a
change of the major version is not considered to be a problem, as long as
the new major version is larger. This is done for both the place that
caused the reported bug and another spot where the git version is tested
for another feature.

Older versions of Git before v1.7.10 did not DWIM
$ git pull $URL for-linus
to the tag "tags/for-linus" and the users were required to say
$ git pull $URL tags/for-linus
instead. Because newer versions of Git works either way,
request-pull used to show tags/for-linus when asked
$ git request-pull origin/master $URL for-linus
The recent updates broke this and in the output we see "for-linus"
without the "tags/" prefix.
As v1.7.10 is more than 2 years old, this should matter very little
in practice, but resurrecting it is very simple.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
