Avoid failing when cwd is !writable by writing the
packfiles in $GIT_DIR, which is more in line with other commands.
Without this, git-repack was failing when run from crontab
by non-root user accounts. For large repositories, this
also makes the mv operation a lot cheaper, and avoids leaving
temp packfiles around the fs upon failure.

This happens only, when git-repack -a is run without any packs in the

We are trying to catch error condition of git-rev-list and cause
the downstream pack-objects to barf, but if you run rev-list
with anything that mucks with its stderr (such as GIT_TRACE),
any stderr output would cause the pipeline to fail.

After a clone, packfiles are read-only by default and "mv" to
replace the pack with a new one goes interactive, asking if the
user wants to replace it. If one is successfully moved and the
other is not, the pack and its idx would become out-of-sync and
corrupts the repository.
Recovering is straightforward -- it is just the matter of
finding the remaining .tmp-pack-* and make sure they are both
moved -- but we should be extra careful not to do something so
alarming to the users.

.. but don't even bother documenting it. I don't think any normal person
is supposed to ever really care, but it simplifies testing when you want
to use the "git repack" wrapper rather than forcing you to use the core
programs (which already do support the window/depth arguments, of course).

In a corrupt repository, git-repack produces a pack that does not
contain needed objects without complaining, and the result of this
combined with -d flag can be very painful -- e.g. a lossage of one
tree object can lead to lossage of blobs reachable only through that
tree.

This patch changes git-pack-redundant so that packfiles
in alternate object directories also are considered when

This functionality is controlled by the flag '--alt-odb'.
Also convert the other flags to the long form, and update

The git philosophy when it comes to disk accesses is "Laugh in the face of
danger".
Notably, since we never modify an existing object, we don't really care
that deeply about flushing things to disk, since even if the machine
crashes in the middle of a git operation, you can never really have lost
any old work. At most, you'd need to figure out the proper heads (which
git-fsck-objects can do for you) and re-do the operation.
However, there's two exceptions to this: pruning and repacking. Those
operations will actually _delete_ old objects that they know about in
other ways (ie that they just repacked, or that they have found in other
places).
However, since they actually modify old state, we should thus be a bit
more careful about them. If the machine crashes and the duplicate new
objects haven't been flushed to disk, you can actually be in trouble.
This is trivially stupid about it by calling "sync" before removing the
objects. Not very smart, but we're talking about special operations than
are usually done once a week if that.

This uses the new "--local" flag to git-pack-objects. It currently only
makes a difference together with "-a", since a normal incremental repack
won't pack any packed objects at all (whether local or remote).
Eventually, it might end up skipping any objects that aren't local to
the current object directory, but for now it only knows to skip packed
objects.

Using "git repack -a -d" can destroy your git archive if you use it

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near
future.

This originally came from Frank Sorenson, but with a bit of rework to
allow future enhancements without changing the external interface for
pack pruning part.
With the '-a' option, all objects in the current repository are packed
into a single pack. When the '-d' option is given at the same time,
existing packs that were made redundant by this round of repacking are
deleted.
Since we currently have only two repacking strategies, one with '-a'
(everything into one) and the other without '-a' (incrementally pack
only the unpacked ones), the '-d' option is meaningful only when used
with '-a'; it removes the packs existed before we did the "everything
into one" repacking. At least for now.

It sets up the normal git environment variables and a few helper
functions (currently just "die()"), and returns ok if it all looks like
a git archive. So use it something like
. git-sh-setup-script || die "Not a git archive"
to make the rest of the git scripts more careful and readable.
This means that the .git/objects/pack directory is also rsync'able,
since the filenames created there-in are either unique or refer to the
same data.
Otherwise you might not be able to pull from a directory that is partly
packed without having to worry about missing objects due to pack-file
name clashes.
