get_pack() receives a pair of file descriptors that communicate with
upload-pack at the remote end. In order to support the case where the
side-band demultiplexer runs in a thread, and, hence, in the same process
as the main routine, we must not close the readable file descriptor early.
The handling of the readable fd is changed in the case where upload-pack
supports side-band communication: The old code closed the fd after it was
inherited to the side-band demultiplexer process. Now we do not close it.
The caller (do_fetch_pack) will close it later anyway. The demultiplexer
is the only reader, it does not matter that the fd remains open in the
main process as well as in unpack-objects/index-pack, which inherits it.
The writable fd is not needed in get_pack(), hence, the old code closed
the fd. For symmetry with the readable fd, we now do not close it; the
caller (do_fetch_pack) will close it later anyway. Therefore, the new
behavior is that the channel now remains open during the entire
conversation, but this has no ill effects because upload-pack does not read
from it once it has begun to send the pack data. For the same reason it
does not matter that the writable fd is now inherited to the demultiplexer
and unpack-objects/index-pack processes.

This prepares the API of git_connect() and finish_connect() to operate on
a struct child_process. Currently, we just use that object as a placeholder
for the pid that we used to return. A follow-up patch will change the
implementation of git_connect() and finish_connect() to make full use
of the object.
Old code had early-return-on-error checks at the calling sites of
git_connect(), but since git_connect() dies on errors anyway, these checks
were removed.

The only way to configure the unpacking limit is currently through
the .git/config (or ~/.gitconfig) mechanism as we have no existing
command line option interface to control this threshold on a per
invocation basis. This was intentional by design as the storage
policy of the repository should be a repository-wide decision and
should not be subject to variations made on individual command
executions.
Earlier builtin-fetch was bypassing the unpacking limit chosen by
the user through the configuration file as it did not reread the
configuration options through fetch_pack_config if we called the
internal fetch_pack() API directly. We now ensure we always run the
config file through fetch_pack_config at least once in this process,
thereby setting our unpackLimit properly.

Copying the arguments from a fetch_pack_args into static globals
within the builtin-fetch-pack module is error-prone and may lead
rise to cases where arguments supplied via the struct from the
new fetch_pack() API may not be honored by the implementation.
Here we reorganize all of the static globals into a single static
struct fetch_pack_args instance and use memcpy() to move the data
from the caller supplied structure into the globals before we
execute our pack fetching implementation. This strategy is more
robust to additions and deletions of properties.
As keep_pack is a single bit we have also introduced lock_pack to
mean not only download and store the packfile via index-pack but
also to lock it against repacking by creating a .keep file when
the packfile itself is stored. The caller must remove the .keep
file when it is safe to do so.

A long time ago Junio added this line to always ensure that the
output array created by remove_duplicates() had a NULL as its
terminating node. Today none of the downstream consumers of this
array care about a NULL terminator; they only pay attention to the
size of the array (as indicated by nr_heads). In (nearly?) all
cases passing a NULL element will cause SIGSEGV failures. So this
NULL terminal is not actually necessary.
Unfortunately we cannot continue to NULL terminate the array at
this point as the array may only have been allocated large enough
to match the input of nr_heads. If there are no duplicates than
we would be trying to store NULL into heads[nr_heads] and that may
be outside of the array.
My recent series to cleanup builtin-fetch changed the allocation of
the heads array from 256 entries to exactly nr_heads thus ensuring
we were always overstepping the array and causing memory corruption.

If we are using a native packfile to perform a git-fetch invocation
and the received packfile contained more than the configured limits
of fetch.unpackLimit/transfer.unpackLimit then index-pack will output
a single line saying "keep\t$sha1\n" to stdout. This line needs to
be captured and retained so we can delete the corresponding .keep
file ("$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/pack-$sha1.keep") once all refs have
been safely updated.
This trick has long been in use with git-fetch.sh and its lower level
helper git-fetch--tool as a way to allow index-pack to save the new
packfile before the refs have been updated and yet avoid a race with
any concurrently running git-repack process. It was unfortunately
lost when git-fetch.sh was converted to pure C and fetch--tool was

The intent of the commit 'fetch & clone: do not output progress when
not on a tty' was to make fetching and cloning less chatty when
output was not redirected (such as in a cron job).
However, there was a serious thinko in that commit. It assumed that
the client _and_ the server got this update at the same time. But
this is obviously not the case, and therefore upload-pack died on
seeing the option "--no-progress".
This patch fixes that issue by making it a protocol option. So, until
your server is updated, you still see the progress, but once the
server has this patch, it will be quiet.
A minor issue was also fixed: when cloning, the checkout did not
heed no_progress.

This makes git-fetch over git native protocol to automatically
decide to keep the downloaded pack if the fetch results in more
than 100 objects, just like receive-pack invoked by git-push

from the command line, so that a very small clone still keeps
the downloaded pack as before.

A shallow commit is a commit which has parents, which in turn are
"grafted away", i.e. the commit appears as if it were a root.
Since these shallow commits should not be edited by the user, but
only by core git, they are recorded in the file $GIT_DIR/shallow.
A repository containing shallow commits is called shallow.
The advantage of a shallow repository is that even if the upstream
contains lots of history, your local (shallow) repository needs not
occupy much disk space.
The disadvantage is that you might miss a merge base when pulling

This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.
In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.
Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.
This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.
There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.
Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.

"ack continue" until it fills up its received-have buffer

For the former change, git-fetch-pack is taught a new flag --all
