I've found that git apply is incapable of handling patches
involving object type changes to the same path.
Of course git itself is perfectly capable of making commits that
generate these changes, as it only tracks trees states. It's
just that the diffs between them are less useful if they can't
be applied.
Some of these are rare, but I've hit one of them (file becoming
a symlink) recently in real-world usage, and was inspired to
find more potential breakages :)
I'm not sure when I'll have time to fix these myself and I'm not
very familiar with the apply code. So if someone could get
some or all of these cases working, they would be my hero :)
Some of these are what I would refer to as corner-cases from
hell. Most (if not all) other systems fail some of these. In
fact, they aren't even capable of representing most of these
changes in their histories; much less being able to handle
patches to that effect.

The core function used in show-branch, join_revs(), was supposed
to be exactly the same algorithm as merge_bases(), except that
it was a version enhanced for use with more than two heads.
However, it needed to mark and keep a list of all the commits it
has seen, because it needed them for its semi-graphical output.
The function to implement this list, mark_seen(), stupidly used
insert_by_date(), when it did not need to keep the list sorted
during its processing. This made "show-branch --merge-base"
more than 20x slower compared to "merge-base --all" in some
cases (e.g. between b5032a5 and 48ce8b0 in the Linux 2.6 kernel
archive). The performance of "show-branch --independent"
suffered from the same reason.
This patch sorts the resulting list after the list traversal
just once to fix these problems.

The pack-file format is slightly different from the traditional git
object format, in that it has a much denser binary header encoding.
The traditional format uses an ASCII string with type and length
information, which is somewhat wasteful.
A new object format starts with uncompressed binary header
followed by compressed payload -- this will allow us later to
copy the payload straight to packfiles.
Obviously they cannot be read by older versions of git, so for
now new object files are created with the traditional format.
core.legacyheaders configuration item, when set to false makes
the code write in new format for people to experiment with.

This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.
Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

"The 'text/html' media type [RFC2854] is primarily for HTML, not for

This patch makes gitweb use content negotiation to conservatively send
pages as Content-Type 'application/xhtml+xml' when the user agent
explicitly claims to support it.
It falls back to 'text/html' even if the user agent appears to
implicitly support 'application/xhtml+xml' due to a '*/*' glob, working
around an insidious bug in Internet Explorer where sending the correct
media type prevents the page from being displayed.
