This patch introduces a strict mode, which ensures that:
- no malformed object will be written
- no object with broken links will be written
The patch ensures this by delaying the write of all non blob object.
These object are written, after all objects they link to are written.
An error can only result in unreferenced objects.

This is useful when you want to see parts of the commit object name
in "describe" output, even when the commit in question happens to be
a tagged version. Instead of just emitting the tag name, it will
describe such a commit as v1.2-0-deadbeef (0th commit since tag v1.2
that points at object deadbeef....).

Earlier we had a cop-out in the documentation to make the
behaviour "undefined" if configuration had more than one
insteadOf that would match the target URL, like this:
[url "git://git.or.cz/"]
insteadOf = "git.or.cz:" ; (1)
insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:" ; (2)
[url "/local/mirror/"]
insteadOf = "git.or.cz:myrepo" ; (3)
insteadOf = "repo.or.cz:" ; (4)
It would be most natural to take the longest and first match, i.e.
- rewrite "git.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by using
(1),
- rewrite "git.or.cz:myrepo/xyzzy" to "/local/mirror/xyzzy" by favoring
(3) over (1), and
- rewrite "repo.or.cz:frotz" to "git://git.or.cz/frotz" by
favoring (2) over (4).

This allows users with different preferences for access methods to the
same remote repositories to rewrite each other's URLs by pattern
matching across a large set of similiarly set up repositories to each
get the desired access.
For example, if you don't have a kernel.org account, you might want
settings like:
[url "git://git.kernel.org/pub/"]
insteadOf = master.kernel.org:/pub
Then, if you give git a URL like:
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
it will act like you gave it:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git
and you can cut-and-paste pull requests in email without fixing them
by hand, for example.

Sometimes scripts want (or need) the annotated tag name that exactly
matches a specific commit, or no tag at all. In such cases it can be
difficult to determine if the output of `git describe $commit` is a
real tag name or a tag+abbreviated commit. A common idiom is to run
git-describe twice:
if test $(git describe $commit) = $(git describe --abbrev=0 $commit)
...
but this is a huge waste of time if the caller is just going to pick a
different method to describe $commit or abort because it is not exactly
an annotated tag.
Setting the maximum number of candidates to 0 allows the caller to ask
for only a tag that directly points at the supplied commit, or to have
git-describe abort if no such item exists.

Packing objects can be done in parallell nowadays, but it's
only done if the config option pack.threads is set to a value
above 1. Because of that, the code-path used is often not the
most optimal one.
This patch adds a routine to detect the number of online CPU's
at runtime (online_cpus()). When pack.threads (or --threads=) is
given a value of 0, the number of threads is set to the number of
online CPU's. This feature is also documented.
As per Nicolas Pitre's recommendations, the default is still to
run pack-objects single-threaded unless explicitly activated,
either by configuration or by command line parameter.
The routine online_cpus() is a rework of "numcpus.c", written by
one Philip Willoughby <pgw99@doc.ic.ac.uk>. numcpus.c is in the
public domain and can presently be downloaded from
http://csgsoft.doc.ic.ac.uk/numcpus/

The previous text was correct, but it was easy to miss the
fact that we are talking about "matching" refs. That is, the
text can be parsed as "we push the union of the sets
of remote and local heads" and not "we push the intersection
of the sets of remote and local heads". (The former actually
doesn't make sense if you think about it, since we don't
even _have_ some of those heads). A careful reading would
reveal the correct meaning, but it makes sense to be as
explicit as possible in documentation.
We also explicitly use and introduce the term "matching";
this is a term discussed on the list, and it seems useful
to for users to be able to refer to this behavior by name.
