If fast-import is being used to update an existing branch of
a repository, the user may not want to lose commits if another
process updates the same ref at the same time. For example, the
user might be using fast-import to make just one or two commits
against a live branch.
We now perform a fast-forward check during the ref updating process.
If updating a branch would cause commits in that branch to be lost,
we skip over it and display the new SHA1 to standard error.
This new default behavior can be overridden with `--force`, like
git-push and git-fetch.

Since some frontends may be working with source material where
the dates are only readily available as RFC 2822 strings, it is
more friendly if fast-import exposes Git's parse_date() function
to handle the conversion. This way the frontend doesn't need
to perform the parsing itself.
The new --date-format option to fast-import can be used by a
frontend to select which format it will supply date strings in.
The default is the standard `raw` Git format, which fast-import
has always supported. Format rfc2822 can be used to activate the
parse_date() function instead.
Because fast-import could also be useful for creating new, current
commits, the format `now` is also supported to generate the current
system timestamp. The implementation of `now` is a trivial call
to datestamp(), but is actually a whole whopping 3 lines so that
fast-import can verify the frontend really meant `now`.
As part of this change I have added validation of the `raw` date
format. Prior to this change fast-import would accept anything
in a `committer` command, even if it was seriously malformed.
Now fast-import requires the '> ' near the end of the string and
verifies the timestamp is formatted properly.

This allows you to set up mothership-satellite configuration
more symmetrically and naturally by allowing the globbing
wildcard refspec for git-push. On your satellite machine:
[remote "mothership"]
url = mothership:project.git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/mothership/*
push = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/*
You would say "git fetch mothership" to update your tracking
branches under mothership/ to keep track of the progress on the
mothership side, and when you are done working on the satellite
machine, you would "git push mothership" to update their
tracking branches under satellite/. Corresponding configuration
on the mothership machine can be used to make "git fetch satellite"
update its tracking branch under satellite/. on the mothership.

This is a first pass at the manpage for git-fast-import.
I have tried to cover the input format in extreme detail, creating a
reference which is more detailed than the BNF grammar appearing in
the header of fast-import.c. I have also covered some details about
gfi's performance and memory utilization, as well as the average
learning curve required to create a gfi frontend application (as it
is far lower than it might appear on first glance).
The documentation still lacks real example input streams, which may
turn out to be difficult to format in asciidoc due to the blank lines
which carry meaning within the format.

The current implementation of shell-style quoted refnames and
SHA-1 expressions within fast-import contains a bad memory leak.
We leak the unquoted strings used by the `from` and `merge`
commands, maybe others. Its also just muddling up the docs.
Since Git refnames cannot contain LF, and that is our delimiter
for the end of the refname, and we accept any other character
as-is, there is no reason for these strings to support quoting,
except to be nice to frontends. But frontends shouldn't be
expecting to use funny refs in Git, and its just as simple to
never quote them as it is to always pass them through the same
quoting filter as pathnames. So frontends should never quote
refs, or ref expressions.

The gitk gui layout was completely broken on Cygwin. If gitk was started
without previous geometry in ~/.gitk, the user could drag the window sashes
to get a useable layout. However, if ~/.gitk existed, this was not possible
at all.
The fix was to rewrite makewindow, changing the toplevel containers and
the particular geometry information saved between sessions. Numerous bugs
in both the Cygwin and the Linux Tk versions make this a delicate
balancing act: the version here works in both but many subtle variants
are competely broken in one or the other environment.
Three user visible changes result:
1 - The viewer is fully functional under Cygwin.
2 - The search bar moves from the bottom to the top of the lower left
pane. This was necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin.
3 - The window size and position is saved and restored between sessions.
Again, this is necessary to get around a layout problem on Cygwin.

If you resize the terminal while less is waiting for input, less
will exit entirely without even showing the output. This is very
noticeable if you do something like "git diff" on a big and
cold-cache tree and git takes a few seconds to think, and then
you resize the window while it's preparing. Boom. No output AT
ALL.
The way to reproduce the problem is to do some pager operation
that takes a while in git, and resizing the window while git is
thinking about the output. Try
git diff --stat v2.6.12..
in the kernel tree to do something where it takes a while for git to start
outputting information.

This adds three options to 'git-remote add'.
* -f (or --fetch) option tells it to also run the initial "git
fetch" using the newly created remote shorthand.
* -t (or --track) option tells it not to use the default
wildcard to track all branches.
* -m (or --master) option tells it to make the
remote/$name/HEAD point at a remote tracking branch other
than master.
For example, with this I can say:
$ git remote add -f -t master -t quick-start -m master \
jbf-um git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/git.git/
to
(1) create remote.jbf-um.url;
(2) track master and quick-start branches (and no other); the
two -t options create these two lines:
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/jbf-um/master
fetch = +refs/heads/quick-start:refs/remotes/jbf-um/quick-start
(3) set up remotes/jbf-um/HEAD to point at jbf-um/master so
that later I can say "git log jbf-um"
Or I could do
$ git remote add -t 'ap/*' andy /home/andy/git.git
to make Andy's topic branches kept track of under refs/remotes/andy/ap/.
Other possible improvements I considered but haven't implemented
(hint, hint) are:
* reject wildcard letters other than a trailing '*' to the -t
parameter;
* make -m optional and when the first -t parameter does not
have the trailing '*' default to that value (so the above
example does not need to say "-m master");
* if -m is not given, and -t parameter ends with '*' (i.e. the
above defaulting did not tell us where to point HEAD at), and
if we did the fetch with -f, check if 'master' was fetched
and make HEAD point at it.

git-merge-recursive wants an null tree as the fake merge base
while producing the merge result tree. The null tree does not
have to be written out in the object store as it won't be part
of the result, and it is a prime example for using the new
pretend_sha1_file() function.
git-blame needs to register an arbitrary data to in-core index
while annotating a working tree file (or standard input), but
git-blame is a read-only application and the user of it could
even lack the privilege to write into the object store; it is
another good example for pretend_sha1_file().

Warning: this changes the semantics.
This makes "git blame" without any positive rev to start digging
from the working tree copy, which is made into a fake commit
whose sole parent is the HEAD.
It also adds --contents <file> option to pretend as if the
working tree copy has the contents of the named file. You can
use '-' to make the command read from the standard input.
If you want the command to start annotating from the HEAD
commit, you need to explicitly give HEAD parameter.

This particular use of git-rebase to remove a single commit or a

Some structs are allocated rather frequently, but were using integer
types which were far larger than required to actually store their
full value range.
As packfiles are limited to 4 GiB we don't need more than 32 bits to
store the offset of an object within that packfile, an `unsigned long`
on a 64 bit system is likely a 64 bit unsigned value. Saving 4 bytes
per object on a 64 bit system can add up fast on any sizable import.
As atom strings are strictly single components in a path name these
are probably limited to just 255 bytes by the underlying OS. Going
to that short of a string is probably too restrictive, but certainly
`unsigned int` is far too large for their lengths. `unsigned short`
is a reasonable limit.
Modes within a tree really only need two bytes to store their whole
value; using `unsigned int` here is vast overkill. Saving 4 bytes
per file entry in an active branch can add up quickly on a project
with a large number of files.
