This fixes the longstanding "Racy GIT" problem, which was pretty
much there from the beginning of time, but was first
demonstrated by Pasky in this message on October 24, 2005:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=113014629716878
If you run the following sequence of commands:
echo frotz >infocom
git update-index --add infocom
echo xyzzy >infocom
so that the second update to file "infocom" does not change
st_mtime, what is recorded as the stat information for the cache
entry "infocom" exactly matches what is on the filesystem
(owner, group, inum, mtime, ctime, mode, length). After this
sequence, we incorrectly think "infocom" file still has string
"frotz" in it, and get really confused. E.g. git-diff-files
would say there is no change, git-update-index --refresh would
not even look at the filesystem to correct the situation.
Some ways of working around this issue were already suggested by
Linus in the same thread on the same day, including waiting
until the next second before returning from update-index if a
cache entry written out has the current timestamp, but that
means we can make at most one commit per second, and given that
the e-mail patch workflow used by Linus needs to process at
least 5 commits per second, it is not an acceptable solution.
Linus notes that git-apply is primarily used to update the index
while processing e-mailed patches, which is true, and
git-apply's up-to-date check is fooled by the same problem but
luckily in the other direction, so it is not really a big issue,
but still it is disturbing.
The function ce_match_stat() is called to bypass the comparison
against filesystem data when the stat data recorded in the cache
entry matches what stat() returns from the filesystem. This
patch tackles the problem by changing it to actually go to the
filesystem data for cache entries that have the same mtime as
the index file itself. This works as long as the index file and
working tree files are on the filesystems that share the same
monotonic clock. Files on network mounted filesystems sometimes
get skewed timestamps compared to "date" output, but as long as
working tree files' timestamps are skewed the same way as the
index file's, this approach still works. The only problematic
files are the ones that have the same timestamp as the index
file's, because two file updates that sandwitch the index file
update must happen within the same second to trigger the
problem.

When .git/refs/heads/frotz and .git/refs/tags/frotz existed, and
the object name stored in .git/refs/heads/frotz were corrupt, we
ended up picking tags/frotz without complaining. Worse yet, if
the corrupt .git/refs/heads/frotz was more than 40 bytes and
began with hexadecimal characters, it silently overwritten the
initial part of the returned result.
This commit adds a couple of tests to demonstrate these cases,
with a fix.

This adds a couple of tests to cover the following renaming
merge cases:
- one side renames and the other side does not, with and without
content conflicts.
- both side rename to the same path, with and without content
conflicts.
The test setup also prepares a case in which both side rename to
different destination, but currently the code collapses these
destination paths and removes the original path, which may be
wrong. The outcome of this case is not checked by the tests in
this round.

Not everybody can rely on /bin/sh to be sane, and we support
SHELL_PATH for that. Use it.
mktemp(1) is not used anywhere else in the core git. Do not
introduce dependency on it.
Not everybody's "which" gives a sane return value. For example,
on Solaris 'which XXX' says "no XXX in /usr/bin /bin ..." and
exits with zero status. The lesson here is to never use 'which'
in your scripts.

The diff for this commit is a good illustration of what changed
in ls-tree behaviour.
- With -r, tree nodes themselves are not shown anymore, but
blobs in subtrees are shown.
- The order of paths parameters do not matter, since they are
not like arguments to /bin/ls, but are filter patterns.
- When filter patterns overlap, unintuitive things happen.

A new option, --allow-binary-replacement, is introduced.
When you feed a diff that records full SHA1 name of pre- and
post-image blob on its index line to git-apply with this option,
the post-image blob replaces the path if what you have in the
working tree matches the pre-image _and_ post-image blob is
already available in the object directory.
Later we _might_ want to enhance the diff output to also include
the full binary data of the post-image, to make this more
useful, but this is good enough for local rebasing application.

The next patches will extend the pack protocol. This test assures that this
extension is compatible to earlier versions of git-fetch-pack/git-upload-pack.
All you need to do to take advantage of this test, is to install older
known-to-be-working binaries in the path as "old-git-fetch-pack" and
"old-git-upload-pack".
Note that the warning when testing with old-git-fetch-pack is to be

This removes the unoptimization. The previous round does not mind
missing fan-out directories, but still makes sure they exist, lest
older versions choke on a repository created/packed by it.
This round does not play that nicely anymore -- empty fan-out
directories are not created by init-db, and will stay removed by
prune-packed. The prune command also removes empty fan-out directories.
