The git-am script is nowhere called and nowhere (including itself)
explained, and the name isn't helpful either. For those like me who will
wonder what is it about, add some documentation stub for it to the

Currently, the code would use getdomainname() call, which however returns
something usually unset and not necessarily related at all to the DNS
domain name (it seems to be mostly some scary NIS/YP thing).
This patch changes the code to actually use the DNS domain name, which is
also what tends to be used in emails, and we aim at emails with our ident
code.

The previous round to optimize fetch-pack has a small bug that
feeds SHA1^ ("parent commit") before making sure SHA1 is
actually a commit (or a tag that eventually dereferences to a
commit). Also it did not help culling the known-to-be-common
parents if the common one was a merge.

It was all good and well to check if all remote refs are complete (local
refs or descendants thereof), but we can just as easily use the same
information to avoid sending "want" lines just for the complete objects in
the case that not all remote refs are complete (or their names differ).
Also, git-fetch-pack does not have to ask for descendants of remote refs
which are complete (for now, git-rev-list is told to ignore only the first
parent). That change also eliminates a code path where a popen()ed handle
was not pclose()ed.

It turns out that not only did git-daemon do DWIM, but git-upload-pack
does as well. This is bad; security checks have to be performed *after*
canonicalization, not before.
Additionally, the current git-daemon can be trivially DoSed by spewing
SYNs at the target port.
This patch adds a --strict option to git-upload-pack to disable all
DWIM, a --timeout option to git-daemon and git-upload-pack, and an
--init-timeout option to git-daemon (which is typically set to a much
lower value, since the initial request should come immediately from the
client.)

I took a look at webgit, and it looks like at least for the "projects"
page, the most common operation ends up being basically
git-rev-list --header --parents --max-count=1 HEAD
Now, the thing is, the way "git-rev-list" works, it always keeps on
popping the parents and parsing them in order to build the list of
parents, and it turns out that even though we just want a single commit,
git-rev-list will invariably look up _three_ generations of commits.
It will parse:
- the commit we want (it obviously needs this)
- it's parent(s) as part of the "pop_most_recent_commit()" logic
- it will then pop one of the parents before it notices that it doesn't
need any more
- and as part of popping the parent, it will parse the grandparent (again
due to "pop_most_recent_commit()".
Now, I've strace'd it, and it really is pretty efficient on the whole, but
if things aren't nicely cached, and with long-latency IO, doing those two
extra objects (at a minimum - if the parent is a merge it will be more) is
just wasted time, and potentially a lot of it.
So here's a quick special-case for the trivial case of "just one commit,
and no date-limits or other special rules".

This patch adds some extra paranoia to the git-daemon filename test. In
particular, it now rejects pathnames containing //; it also adds a
redundant test for pathname absoluteness (belts and suspenders.)
A single / at the end of the path is still permitted, however, and the
.git and /.git append DWIM stuff is now handled in an integrated manner,
which means the resulting path will always be subjected to pathname checks.

If everything is up-to-date locally, we don't need to even ask for a
pack-file from the remote, or try to unpack it.
This is especially important for tags - since the pack-file common commit
logic is based purely on the commit history, it will never be able to find
a common tag, and will thus always end up re-fetching them.
Especially notably, if the tag points to a non-commit (eg a tagged tree),
the pack-file would be unnecessarily big, just because it cannot any most
recent common point between commits for pruning.
Short-circuiting the case where we already have that reference means that
we avoid a lot of these in the common case.
NOTE! This only matches remote ref names against the same local name,
which works well for tags, but is not as generic as it could be. If we
ever need to, we could match against _any_ local ref (if we have it, we
have it), but this "match against same name" is simpler and more
efficient, and covers the common case.
Renaming of refs is common for branch heads, but since those are always
commits, the pack-file generation can optimize that case.
In some cases we might still end up fetching pack-files unnecessarily, but
this at least avoids the re-fetching of tags over and over if you use a
regular
git fetch --tags ...
which was the main reason behind the change.
