Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):
t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh
Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a
change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was
worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the
per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config
variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur.
This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be
enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing.
git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object
(apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

Update the usage of File::Temp->tempfile to place the temporary files
within the repository directory instead of just letting Perl decide what
directory to use, given there is a repository specified when requesting
the temporary file.
This is needed to be able to fix git-svn on msys as msysperl generates
paths with UNIX-style paths (/tmp/xxx) while the git tools expect natvie
path format (c:/..). The repository dir is stored in native format so by
using it as the base directory for temporary files we always get a
usable native full path.

This patch offers a generic interface to allow temp files to be
cached while using an instance of the 'Git' package. If many
temp files are created and destroyed during the execution of a
program, this caching mechanism can help reduce the amount of
files created and destroyed by the filesystem.
The temp_acquire method provides a weak guarantee that a temp
file will not be stolen by subsequent requests. If a file is
locked when another acquire request is made, a simple error is
thrown.

Git::DESTROY calls _close_cat_blob and _close_hash_and_insert_object,
which in turn call command_close_bidi_pipe, which calls waitpid, which
alters $?. If this happens during global destruction, it may alter the

solves the problem.

If config is called in array context, it is supposed to return all
values set for the given option key. This works for all cases except
if there is no value set at all. In that case, it wrongly returns

returns undef in scalar context but an empty array in array context.

This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to
use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it
simpler and more consistent with commands written in C.
A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and
color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color.
A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to
define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text.
For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes
the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape
sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be
used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

This patch removes Git.xs from the repository for the time being. This
should hopefully enable Git.pm to finally make its way to master.
Git.xs is not going away forever. When the Git libification makes some
progress, it will hopefully return (but most likely as an optional
component, due to the portability woes) since the performance boosts are
really important for applications like Gitweb or Cogito. It needs to go
away now since it is not really reliable in case you use it for several
repositories in the scope of a single process, and that is not possible
to fix without some either very ugly or very intrusive core changes.
Rest in peace. (While you can.)

Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when
you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either.
The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another
Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness
of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is
nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object
existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted
in the documentation.
At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other
potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be
doing ok.

This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public)
backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources
for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories
may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to
invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot.
It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data
for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet
but get_object() will in the next patches.
