When using git fast-export and git fast-import to rewrite the history
of a repository with large binary files, almost all of the time is
spent dealing with blobs. This is extremely inefficient if all we want
to do is rewrite the commits and tree structure. --no-data skips the
output of blobs and writes SHA-1s instead of marks, which provides a
massive speedup.

When providing a list of paths to limit what is exported, the object that
a tag points to can be filtered out entirely. This new switch allows
the user to specify what should happen to the tag in such a case. The
default action, 'abort' will exit with an error message. With 'drop', the
tag will simply be omitted from the output. With 'rewrite', if the object
tagged was a commit, the tag will be modified to tag an alternate commit.
The alternate commit is determined by treating the original commit as the
"parent" of the tag and then using the parent rewriting algorithm of the
revision traversal machinery (related to the "--parents" option of "git
rev-list")

The code expects a ref name to be provided in commit->util. While there
was some code to set commit->util, it only worked in cases where there was
an unbroken chain of revisions from a ref to the relevant commit. In
cases such as running
git fast-export --parents master -- COPYING
commit->util would fail to be set. The old method of setting commit->util
has been removed in favor of requesting show_source from the revision
traversal machinery (related to the "--source" option of "git log" family
of commands.)
However, this change does not fix cases like
git fast export master~1
or
git fast export :/arguments
since in such cases commit->util will be "master~1" or ":/arguments" while
we need the actual ref (e.g. "refs/heads/master")

When exporting a subset of commits on a branch that do not go back to a
root commit (e.g. master~2..master), we still want each exported commit to
have the same files in the exported tree as in the original tree.
Previously, when given such a range, we would omit master~2 as a parent of
master~1, but we would still diff against master~2 when selecting the list
of files to include in master~1. This would result in only files that
had changed in the given range showing up in the resulting export. In such
cases, we should diff master~1 against the root instead (i.e. use
diff_root_tree_sha1 instead of diff_tree_sha1).
There's a special case to consider here: incremental exports (i.e. exports
where the --import-marks flag is specified). If master~2 is an imported
mark, then we still want to diff master~1 against master~2 when selecting
the list of files to include.
We can handle all cases, including the special case, by just checking
whether master~2 corresponds to a known object mark when deciding what to
diff against.

Links can be represented by two forms of the
Modify command:
M 160000 SHA1 some/path
which sets the link target explicitly, or
M 160000 :mark some/path
where the mark refers to a commit. The latter
form can be used by importing tools to build
all submodules simultaneously in one physical

If we are exporting a commit which has no parents we may be doing
it to a branch that already exists, causing fast-import to assume
the branch's current revision should be the sole parent of the
new commit. This can cause `git fast-export | git fast-import`
to produce an incorrect graph for:
A-------M----o------o refs/heads/master
/
B-+
In this graph A and B are initial commits (no parents) but if A was
output first to refs/heads/master and then B is output fast-import
would assume the graph was this instead:
A-------M----o------o refs/heads/master
\ /
+-B-+
Which would cause B, M, and all later commits to have a different
SHA-1, and obviously be quite a different graph.
Sending a reset command prior to B informs fast-import to clear
the implied parent of A, allowing B to remain an initial commit.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

This program dumps (parts of) a git repository in the format that

For clarity's sake, it does not use the 'inline' method of specifying
blobs in the commits, but builds the blobs before building the commits.
Since signed tags' signatures will not necessarily be valid (think
transformations after the export, or excluding revisions, changing
the history), there are 4 modes to handle them: abort (default),
ignore, warn and strip. The latter just turns the tags into
unsigned ones.
