H. Peter Anvin mentioned that using SHA1_whatever as an
environment variable name is not nice and we should instead use
names starting with "GIT_" prefix to avoid conflicts. Here is
what this patch does:
* Renames the following environment variables:
New name Old Name
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE AUTHOR_DATE
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME
GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY
* Introduces a compatibility macro, gitenv(), which does an
getenv() and if it fails calls gitenv_bc(), which in turn
picks up the value from old name while giving a warning about
using an old name.
* Changes all users of the environment variable to fetch
environment variable with the new name using gitenv().
* Updates the documentation and scripts shipped with Linus GIT
distribution.
The transition plan is as follows:
* We will keep the backward compatibility list used by gitenv()
for now, so the current scripts and user environments
continue to work as before. The users will get warnings when
they have old name but not new name in their environment to
the stderr.
* The Porcelain layers should start using new names. However,
just in case it ends up calling old Plumbing layer
implementation, they should also export old names, taking
values from the corresponding new names, during the
transition period.
* After a transition period, we would drop the compatibility
support and drop gitenv(). Revert the callers to directly
call getenv() but keep using the new names.
The last part is probably optional and the transition
duration needs to be set to a reasonable value.

A deflate loop in sha1_file.c would have /* nothing */ as its
body, but the semicolon was missing, so the next command was run.
Fortunately the loop went through exactly once so it didn't trigger
an actual bug so far.

When we used to have "path" as a file or a symlink, but now we
have "path/file" (or in general, have "path" as a directory), we
would want to remove "path" before adding "path/file". The
logic in add_file_to_cache() only runs lstat() and does not
detect this case and fails to allow removing it in this case.
In the opposite case of having "path/file" in the index and
having "path" on the filesystem as a file or a symlink we do
allow removal of "path/file", so to be symmetric we should allow
it as well, without forcing the user to say --force-remove.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
When "path" exists as a file or a symlink in the index, an
attempt to add "path/file" is refused because it results in file
vs directory conflict. Similarly when "path/file1",
"path/file2", etc. exist, an attempt to add "path" as a file or
a symlink is refused. With git-update-cache --replace, these
existing entries that conflict with the entry being added are
automatically removed from the cache, with warning messages.

Kay Sievers noticed that you can have both path and path/file in
the cache and write-tree happily creates a tree object from such
a state. Since a merge can result in such situation and the
user should be able to see the situation by looking at the
cache, rather than forbidding add_cache_entry() to create such
conflicts, fix it by making write-tree refuse to write such an
nonsensical tree. Here is a test case.
-- test case --
$ ls -a
./ ../
$ git-init-db
defaulting to local storage area
$ date >path
$ git-update-cache --add path
$ rm path
$ mkdir path

It didn't properly mark all cache updates as being dirty, and
causes merge errors due to that. In particular, it didn't notice
when a file was force-removed.
Besides, it was ugly as hell. I've put in place a slightly cleaner
version, but I've not enabled the optimization because I don't
want to be burned again.

Pass pointer to filecontents to write_header() and pass pointer
to filecontents, its size and some flags to write_exntended_header().
These parameters are not used, yet. They are added in preparation
to symlink support.
Introduce append_extended_header_prefix(), extended_header_len()
and append_extended_header(). These are helper functions that
make it easier to handle multiple entries in a pax extended
header. append_log() is no longer needed and can go away.
This allows you to trivially do fancy and readable output. Something like
git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree -p -v --stdin kernel/ | less -S
gives a nice output of what has changed in the kernel/ subdirectory lately.
It turns out that parse_object() is loading and decompressing given
object to free it just before calling the specific object parsing
function which does mmap and decompress the same object again. This
patch introduces the ability to parse specific objects directly from a
memory buffer.
Without this patch, running git-fsck-cache on the kernel repositorytake:
real 0m13.006s
user 0m11.421s
sys 0m1.218s
With this patch applied:
real 0m8.060s
user 0m7.071s
sys 0m0.710s
The performance increase is significant, and this is kind of a
prerequisite for sane delta object support with fsck.

This only shows the tree headers when something actually changed. Also,
add a "silent" mode, which doesn't actually show the changes at all,
just the commit information.
This means that you can do
git-rev-list HEAD --max-count=10 | git-diff-tree --stdin update-cache.c
to see which (if any) of the last ten commits changed update-cache.c.
Use the "-m" flag to see merges too. Normally they are suppressed.
gitweb.cgi's default view is the log of the last day and git-rev-list
can stop crawling the whole repo if we have all our data to display in the
