I said:
- Stop attempting to be compatible with cg-patch, and drop
(mode:XXXXXX) bits from the diff.
- Do keep the /dev/null change for created and deleted case.
- No "Index:" line, no "Mode change:" line, anywhere in the
output. Anything that wants the mode bits and sha1 hash can
do things from GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism. Maybe document
suggested usage better.
This adds an example script git-apply-patch-script, that can be
used as the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF to apply changes between two trees
directly on the current work tree, like this:
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=git-apply-patch-script git-diff-tree -p <tree> <tree>

...since everything out there is either strange (libc mktime has issues
with timezones) or introduces unnecessary dependencies for people (libcurl).
This goes back to the old date parsing, but moves it out into a file of
its own, and does the "struct tm" to "seconds since epoch" handling by
hand.
I grepped through the tz-database and it seems there's one "country"
left that has non-60-minute DST: Lord Howe Island. All others dropped
that before 1970.
This switches git-commit-tree to using curl_getdate() for the
AUTHOR_DATE, and thus fixes the problem with "mktime()" parsing dates in
the local timezone. It also ends up being more permissive about the
format of the date.

This also regularizes the make. The source files themselves don't get
the "git-" prefix, because that's just inconvenient. So instead we just
make the rule that "git-xxxx" depends on "xxxx.c", and do that for
all the core programs (ie the old "git-mktag.c" got renamed to just
"mktag.c" to match everything else).
And "show-diff" got renamed to "git-diff-files" while at it, since
that's what it really should be to match the other git-diff-xxx cases.
This is an improved version of tar-tree, a streaming archive creator for
GIT. The major added feature is blocking; all write(2) calls now have a
size of 10240, just as GNU tar (and tape drives) likes them. The
buffering overhead does not seem to degrade performance because most
files in the repositories I tested this with are smaller than 10KB, so
we need fewer system calls.
File names are still restricted to 500 bytes and the archive format
currently only allows for files up to 8GB. Both restrictions can be
lifted if need be with more pax extended headers.
The archive format used is the pax interchange format, i.e. POSIX tar
format. It can be read by (and created with) GNU tar. If I read the
specs correctly tar-tree should now be standards compliant (modulo
bugs).
Because it streams the archive (think ls-tree merged with cat-file),
tar-tree doesn't need to create any temporary files. That makes it
quite fast.
It accepts tree IDs and commit IDs as first parameter. In the latter
case tar-tree tries to get the commit date out of the committer line.
Else all files in the archive are time-stamped with the current time.
An optional second parameter is used as a path prefix for all files in
the archive. Example:
$ tar-tree a2755a80f40e5794ddc20e00f781af9d6320fafb \

This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper. It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.
It is used like the following examples:
$ diff-cache --cached -z <tree> | diff-tree-helper -z -R paths...
$ diff-tree -r -z <tree1> <tree2> | diff-tree-helper -z paths...
- As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
commands.
- The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff. It does not
matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.
- The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
appears in the output. Again this is useful to use with
diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
restriction parameters.

With this patch, the non-core'ish part of show-diff command that
invokes an external "diff" comand to obtain patches is split
into a separate file. The next patch will introduce a new
command, diff-tree-helper, which uses this common diff interface
to format diff-tree and diff-cache output into a patch form.

This patch adds three similar and related programs. http-pull downloads
objects from an HTTP server; rpull downloads objects by using ssh and
rpush on the other side; and rpush uploads objects by using ssh and rpull
on the other side.
The algorithm should be sufficient to make the network throughput required
depend only on how much content is new, not at all on how much content the
repository contains.
The combination should enable people to have remote repositories by way of
ssh login for authenticated users and HTTP for anonymous access.

This one includes the Mozilla SHA1 implementation sent in by Edgar Toernig.
It's dual-licenced under MPL-1.1 or GPL, so in the context of git, we
obviously use the GPL version.
Side note: the Mozilla SHA1 implementation is about twice as fast as the
default openssl one on my G5, but the default openssl one has optimized
x86 assembly language on x86. So choose wisely.
Use a generic rule for executables that depend only on the corresponding
.o and on $(LIB_FILE).

You'd want something like this if you are tracking a git archive
in another SCM format. Notably, we want something like that for
BK users.
This introduces the concept of git "library" objects that
the real programs use, and makes it easier to add such things
to a "libgit.a".
This will also make it trivial to split the current "read-cache.o"
into more aptly named pieces (it does a lot more than just read
the index file).
This switches to my implementation of merge-base, but with the new parsing

I looked a bit at my old BK tools for the same thing, but they were
just so horrid in many ways that I largely rewrote it all and these
tools do things a bit differently. Instead of aggressively piping
data from one process to another (which was clever but very hard
to follow), this first just splits out the mbox into many smaller
email files, and then does some scripts on these temporary files.

It's quite fast when the commit-objects are cached, but since
it has to walk every single commit-object, it also allows you
to cache an old state and just add on top of that.
