85b3c75f4f describe: Refresh the index when run with --dirty
When running git describe --dirty the index should be refreshed.  Previously
the cached index would cause describe to think that the index was dirty when,
in reality, it was just stale.

The issue was exposed by python setuptools which hardlinks files into another
directory when building a distribution.

b52d00aede remote: only update remote-tracking branch if updating refspec
'git remote rename' will only update the remote's fetch refspec if it
looks like a default one. If the remote has no default fetch refspec,
as in

[remote "origin"]
    url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*

we would not update the fetch refspec and even if there is a ref
called "refs/remotes/origin/master", we should not rename it, since it
was not created by fetching from the remote.

1822b86a51 remote rename: warn when refspec was not updated
When renaming a remote, we also try to update the fetch refspec
accordingly, but only if it has the default format. For others, such
as refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin, we are conservative and leave
it untouched. Let's give the user a warning about refspecs that are
not updated, so he can manually update the config if necessary.

60e5eee0f1 remote: "rename o foo" should not rename ref "origin/bar"
When renaming a remote called 'o' using 'git remote rename o foo', git
should also rename any remote-tracking branches for the remote. This
does happen, but any remote-tracking branches starting with
'refs/remotes/o', such as 'refs/remotes/origin/bar', will also be
renamed (to 'refs/remotes/foorigin/bar' in this case).

Fix it by simply matching one more character, up to the slash
following the remote name.

28f555f635 remote: write correct fetch spec when renaming remote 'remote'
When renaming a remote whose name is contained in a configured fetch
refspec for that remote, we currently replace the first occurrence of
the remote name in the refspec. This is correct in most cases, but
breaks if the remote name occurs in the fetch refspec before the
expected place. For example, we currently change

[remote "remote"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/remote/*

into

[remote "origin"]
	url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/origins/remote/*

Reduce the risk of changing incorrect sections of the refspec by
matching the entire ":refs/remotes/<name>/" instead of just "<name>".

18322badc2 fetch: skip on-demand checking when no submodules are configured
It makes no sense to do the - possibly very expensive - call to "rev-list
<new-ref-sha1> --not --all" in check_for_new_submodule_commits() when
there aren't any submodules configured.

Leave check_for_new_submodule_commits() early when no name <-> path
mappings for submodules are found in the configuration. To make that work
reading the configuration had to be moved further up in cmd_fetch(), as
doing that after the actual fetch of the superproject was too late.

This reverts commit ffa69e61d3c5730bd4b65a465efc130b0ef3c7df, reversing
changes made to 4a13c4d14841343d7caad6ed41a152fee550261d.

Adding a new command line option to receive-pack and feed it from
send-pack is not an acceptable way to add features, as there is no
guarantee that your updated send-pack will be talking to updated
receive-pack. New features need to be added via the capability mechanism
negotiated over the protocol.

2f633f41d6 check-ref-format --print: Normalize refnames that start with slashes
When asked if "refs///heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format says "Yes,
it is well formed", and when asked to print canonical form, it shows
"refs/heads/master". This is so that it can be tucked after "$GIT_DIR/"
to form a valid pathname for a loose ref, and we normalize a pathname like
"$GIT_DIR/refs///heads/master" to de-dup the slashes in it.

Similarly, when asked if "/refs/heads/master" is valid, check-ref-format
says "Yes, it is Ok", but the leading slash is not removed when printing,
leading to "$GIT_DIR//refs/heads/master".

Fix it to make sure such leading slashes are removed.  Add tests that such
refnames are accepted and normalized correctly.

e6baf4a1ae clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

 - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
   command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
   command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

 - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
   stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
   directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
   the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
   relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
   repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

0f64bfa956 ls-files: fix pathspec display on error
The following sequence of commands reveals an issue with error
reporting of relative paths:

 $ mkdir sub
 $ cd sub
 $ git ls-files --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.
 $ git commit --error-unmatch ../bbbbb
 error: pathspec 'b' did not match any file(s) known to git.

This bug is visible only if the normalized path (i.e., the relative
path from the repository root) is longer than the prefix.
Otherwise, the code skips over the normalized path and reads from
an unused memory location which still contains a leftover of the
original command line argument.

So instead, use the existing facilities to deal with relative paths
correctly.

Also fix inconsistency between "checkout" and "commit", e.g.

    $ cd Documentation
    $ git checkout nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'Documentation/nosuch.txt' did not match...
    $ git commit nosuch.txt
    error: pathspec 'nosuch.txt' did not match...

by propagating the prefix down the codepath that reports the error.

6280dfdc3b fast-export: quote paths in output
Many pathnames in a fast-import stream need to be quoted. In
particular:

  1. Pathnames at the end of an "M" or "D" line need quoting
     if they contain a LF or start with double-quote.

  2. Pathnames on a "C" or "R" line need quoting as above,
     but also if they contain spaces.

For (1), we weren't quoting at all. For (2), we put
double-quotes around the paths to handle spaces, but ignored
the possibility that they would need further quoting.

This patch checks whether each pathname needs c-style
quoting, and uses it. This is slightly overkill for (1),
which doesn't actually need to quote many characters that
vanilla c-style quoting does. However, it shouldn't hurt, as
any implementation needs to be ready to handle quoted
strings anyway.

In addition to adding a test, we have to tweak a test which
blindly assumed that case (2) would always use
double-quotes, whether it needed to or not.

d04520e344 reset: give better reflog messages
The reset command creates its reflog entry from argv.
However, it does so after having run parse_options, which
means the only thing left in argv is any non-option
arguments. Thus you would end up with confusing reflog
entries like:

  $ git reset --hard HEAD^
  $ git reset --soft HEAD@{1}
  $ git log -2 -g --oneline
  8e46cad HEAD@{0}: HEAD@{1}: updating HEAD
  1eb9486 HEAD@{1}: HEAD^: updating HEAD

However, we must also consider that some scripts may set
GIT_REFLOG_ACTION before calling reset, and we need to show
their reflog action (with our text appended). For example:

  rebase -i (squash): updating HEAD

On top of that, we also set the ORIG_HEAD reflog action
(even though it doesn't generally exist). In that case, the
reset argument is somewhat meaningless, as it has nothing to
do with what's in ORIG_HEAD.

This patch changes the reset reflog code to show:

  $GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: updating {HEAD,ORIG_HEAD}

as before, but only if GIT_REFLOG_ACTION is set. Otherwise,
show:

   reset: moving to $rev

for HEAD, and:

   reset: updating ORIG_HEAD

for ORIG_HEAD (this is still somewhat superfluous, since we
are in the ORIG_HEAD reflog, obviously, but at least we now
mention which command was used to update it).

While we're at it, we can clean up the code a bit:

 - Use strbufs to make the message.

 - Use the "rev" parameter instead of showing all options.
   This makes more sense, since it is the only thing
   impacting the writing of the ref.

not just unfriendly not to take a second pattern; we

omitted.

This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the

ffc4b8012d tag: speed up --contains calculation
When we want to know if commit A contains commit B (or any
one of a set of commits, B through Z), we generally
calculate the merge bases and see if B is a merge base of A
(or for a set, if any of the commits B through Z have that
property).

When we are going to check a series of commits A1 through An
to see whether each contains B (e.g., because we are
deciding which tags to show with "git tag --contains"), we
do a series of merge base calculations. This can be very
expensive, as we repeat a lot of traversal work.

Instead, let's leverage the fact that we are going to use
the same --contains list for each tag, and mark areas of the
commit graph is definitely containing those commits, or
definitely not containing those commits. Later tags can then
stop traversing as soon as they see a previously calculated
answer.

This sped up "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6
repository from:

  real    0m15.417s
  user    0m15.197s
  sys     0m0.220s

to:

  real    0m5.329s
  user    0m5.144s
  sys     0m0.184s

ef49a7a012 zlib: zlib can only process 4GB at a time
The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.

But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.

In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.

Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.
