Starting at release v1.7.9, if you ask to merge a signed tag, "git merge"
always creates a merge commit, even when the tag points at a commit that
happens to be a descendant of your current commit.
Unfortunately, this interacts rather badly for people who use --ff-only to
make sure that their branch is free of local developments. It used to be
possible to say:
$ git checkout -b frotz v1.7.9~30
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9
and expect that the resulting tip of frotz branch matches v1.7.9^0 (aka
the commit tagged as v1.7.9), but this fails with the updated Git with:
fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting.
because a merge that merges v1.7.9 tag to v1.7.9~30 cannot be created by
fast forwarding.
We could teach users that now they have to do
$ git merge --ff-only v1.7.9^0
but it is far more pleasant for users if we DWIMmed this ourselves.
When an integrator pulls in a topic from a lieutenant via a signed tag,
even when the work done by the lieutenant happens to fast-forward, the
integrator wants to have a merge record, so the integrator will not be
asking for --ff-only when running "git pull" in such a case. Therefore,
this change should not regress the support for the use case v1.7.9 wanted
to add.

thin-pack: try harder to use preferred base objects as base
When creating a pack using objects that reside in existing packs, we try
to avoid recomputing futile delta between an object (trg) and a candidate
for its base object (src) if they are stored in the same packfile, and trg
is not recorded as a delta already. This heuristics makes sense because it
is likely that we tried to express trg as a delta based on src but it did
not produce a good delta when we created the existing pack.
As the pack heuristics prefer producing delta to remove data, and Linus's
law dictates that the size of a file grows over time, we tend to record
the newest version of the file as inflated, and older ones as delta
against it.
When creating a thin-pack to transfer recent history, it is likely that we
will try to send an object that is recorded in full, as it is newer. But
the heuristics to avoid recomputing futile delta effectively forbids us
from attempting to express such an object as a delta based on another
object. Sending an object in full is often more expensive than sending a
suboptimal delta based on other objects, and it is even more so if we
could use an object we know the receiving end already has (i.e. preferred
base object) as the delta base.
Tweak the recomputation avoidance logic, so that we do not punt on
computing delta against a preferred base object.
The effect of this change can be seen on two simulated upload-pack
workloads. The first is based on 44 reflog entries from my git.git
origin/master reflog, and represents the packs that kernel.org sent me git
updates for the past month or two. The second workload represents much
larger fetches, going from git's v1.0.0 tag to v1.1.0, then v1.1.0 to
v1.2.0, and so on.
The table below shows the average generated pack size and the average CPU
time consumed for each dataset, both before and after the patch:
dataset
| reflog | tags
---------------------------------
before | 53358 | 2750977
size after | 32398 | 2668479
change | -39% | -3%
---------------------------------
before | 0.18 | 1.12
CPU after | 0.18 | 1.15
change | +0% | +3%
This patch makes a much bigger difference for packs with a shorter slice
of history (since its effect is seen at the boundaries of the pack) though
it has some benefit even for larger packs.

The old code basically did:
generate array of SHA1s for alternate refs
for each unique SHA1 in array:
add_extra_ref(".have", sha1)
for each ref (including real refs and extra refs):
show_ref(refname, sha1)
But there is no need to stuff the alternate refs in extra_refs; we can
call show_ref() directly when iterating over the array, then handle
real refs separately. So change the code to:
generate array of SHA1s for alternate refs
for each unique SHA1 in array:
show_ref(".have", sha1)
for each ref (this now only includes real refs):
show_ref(refname, sha1)

The FETCH_HEAD refname is supposed to refer to the ref that was fetched
and should be merged. However all fetched refs are written to
.git/FETCH_HEAD in an arbitrary order, and resolve_ref_unsafe simply
takes the first ref as the FETCH_HEAD, which is often the wrong one,
when other branches were also fetched.
The solution is to write the for-merge ref(s) to FETCH_HEAD first.
Then, unless --append is used, the FETCH_HEAD refname behaves as intended.
If the user uses --append, they presumably are doing so in order to
preserve the old FETCH_HEAD.
While we are at it, update an old example in the read-tree documentation
that implied that each entry in FETCH_HEAD only has the object name, which
is not true for quite a while.
