It's for people who aren't necessarily interested in the whole
unpacked file, but do want to know the header information (size,
type, etc..)
For example, the delta code can use this to figure out whether
an object is already a delta object, and what it is a delta
against, without actually bothering to unpack all of the actual
data in the delta.
Add <limits.h> to the include files handled by "cache.h", and remove
extraneous #include directives from various .c files. The rule is that
"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system
dependencies as possible.
This one compares two pathnames that may be partial basenames, not
full paths. We need to get the path sorting right, since a directory
name will sort as if it had the final '/' at the end.
With -u flag, git-checkout-cache picks up the stat information
from newly created file and updates the cache. This removes the
need to run git-update-cache --refresh immediately after running
git-checkout-cache.

It is kind of surprising that this was missed in the last round,

ignoring symlinks. This patch fixes it, so that --others will

This allows git to be built even with linkers which are not smart enough
to join those symbols, and makes this correct C. Pointed out by several
people.
During the mailing list discussion on renaming GIT_ environment
variables, people felt that having one environment that lets the
user (or Porcelain) specify both SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORY (now
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY) and GIT_INDEX_FILE for the default layout
would be handy. This change introduces GIT_DIR environment
variable, from which the defaults for GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY are derived. When GIT_DIR is not defined,
it defaults to ".git". GIT_INDEX_FILE defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/index" and GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY defaults to
"$GIT_DIR/objects".
Special thanks for ideas and discussions go to Petr Baudis and
Daniel Barkalow. Bugs are mine ;-)

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.

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.

SHA1_FILE_DIRECTORIES environment variable is a colon separated paths
used when looking for SHA1 files not found in the usual place for
reading. Creating a new SHA1 file does not use this alternate object
database location mechanism. This is useful to archive older, rarely
used objects into separate directories.

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.
Allow to store and track symlink in the repository. A symlink is stored
the same way as a regular file, only with the appropriate mode bits set.
The symlink target is therefore stored in a blob object.

Make it much safer: we write to a temporary file, and then link that
temporary file to the final destination. This avoids all the nasty
races if several people write the same object at the same time.
It should also result in nicer on-disk layout, since it means that
objects all get created in the same subdirectory. That makes a lot
of block allocation algorithms happier, since the objects will now
be allocated from the same zone.
A new command, git-write-blob, is introduced. This registers
the contents of any file on the filesystem as a blob in the
object database and reports its SHA1 to the standard output.
To implement it, the patch promotes index_fd() from a static
function in update-cache.c to extern and moves it to a library
source, sha1_file.c.
This command is used to update git-merge-one-file-script so that
it does not smudge the work tree.

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.
For example, this commit has been done with
git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD
instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
...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 patch renames read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1() to
read_object_with_reference() and extends it to automatically
dereference not just "commit" objects but "tag" objects. With
this patch, you can say e.g.:
ls-tree $tag
read-tree -m $(merge-base $tag $HEAD) $tag $HEAD
diff-cache $tag
diff-tree $tag $HEAD

This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be
correct too.
Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just
read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the
resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were
all getting to.
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.
We use that to specify alternative index files, which can be useful
if you want to (for example) generate a temporary index file to do
some specific operation that you don't want to mess with your main
one with.
It defaults to the regular ".git/index" if it hasn't been specified.
This patch implements read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1(),
which can be used when you are interested in reading an unpacked
raw tree data but you do not know nor care if the SHA1 you
obtained your user is a tree ID or a commit ID. Before this
function's introduction, you would have called read_sha1_file(),
examined its type, parsed it to call read_sha1_file() again if
it is a commit, and verified that the resulting object is a
tree. Instead, this function does that for you. It returns
NULL if the given SHA1 is not either a tree or a commit.

This allows using a git tree over NFS with different byte order, and
makes it possible to just copy a fully populated repository and have
the end result immediately usable (needing just a refresh to update
the stat information).

errors. usage() is now used strictly only for usage errors.

It now requires the "--add" flag before you add any new files, and
a "--remove" file if you want to mark files for removal. And giving
it the "--refresh" flag makes it just update all the files that it
already knows about.
It's got some debugging printouts etc still in it, but testing on the
kernel seems to show that it does indeed fix the issue with huge tree
files for each commit.
