d9c20ba13d enhance clone and fetch -k experience
Now that index-pack can be streamed with a pack, it is probably a good
idea to use it directly instead of creating a temporary file and running
index-pack afterwards.  This way index-pack can abort early whenever a
corruption is encountered even if the pack has not been fully
downloaded, it can display a progress percentage as it knows how much to
expects, and it is a bit faster since the pack indexing is partially
done as data is received. Using fetch -k doesn't need to disable thin
pack generation on the remote end either.

e4fe4b8ef7 let the GIT native protocol use offsets to delta base when possible
There is no reason not to always do this when both ends agree.
Therefore a client that can accept offsets to delta base always sends
the "ofs-delta" flag.  The server will stream a pack with or without
offset to delta base depending on whether that flag is provided or not
with no additional cost.

cb5d709ff8 Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions.  It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.

The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type

	int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.

The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and
builtin-pack-refs.c as an example.

e702496e43 Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them
from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction
of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.

A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*.  This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

[jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a
 patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

 Fixed the cast in the latter hunk to combine-diff.c which was
 wrong in the original.

1974632c66 Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce
the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits
already used in the packfile format, by removing the former
(i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum
object_type) throughout the code for consistency.

Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings"
entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different
integer enumeration.

885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
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.

f061e5fdd6 fetch-pack: give up after getting too many "ack continue"
If your repository have more roots than the remote repository
you ask an object for, the remote upload-pack keeps responding
"ack continue" until it fills up its received-have buffer
(currently 256 entries).  Usually this is not a problem because
the requester stops traversing the ancestry chain from the commit
it gets "ack continue" for, but this mechanism does not work as
a roadblock when it traverses down the path to the root the
other side does not have.

dfeff66ed9 revamp git-clone.
This does two things.

 * A new flag --reference can be used to name a local repository
   that is to be used as an alternate.  This is in response to
   an inquiry by James Cloos in the message on the list
   <m3r74ykue7.fsf@lugabout.cloos.reno.nv.us>.

 * A new flag --use-separate-remote stops contaminating local
   branch namespace by upstream branch names.  The upstream
   branch heads are copied in .git/refs/remotes/ instead of
   .git/refs/heads/ and .git/remotes/origin file is set up to
   reflect this as well.  It requires to have fetch/pull update
   to understand .git/refs/remotes by Eric Wong to further
   update the repository cloned this way.

For the former change, git-fetch-pack is taught a new flag --all
to fetch from all the remote heads.  Nobody uses the git-clone-pack
with this change, so we could deprecate the command, but removal
of the command will be left to a separate round.

5ee2ad654b Make "git clone" less of a deathly quiet experience
It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.

Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).

So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:

	[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
	Packing 188543 objects
	  48.398MB  (154 kB/s)

where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").

Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is  big step forward, I think.

'git-fetch remote no-such-ref' succeeded without fetching any

Note that this makes 'git-fetch remote master master' to fail,

giving the same refspec more than once to git-fetch is useless

It was all good and well to check if all remote refs are complete (local
refs or descendants thereof), but we can just as easily use the same
information to avoid sending "want" lines just for the complete objects in
the case that not all remote refs are complete (or their names differ).

Also, git-fetch-pack does not have to ask for descendants of remote refs
which are complete (for now, git-rev-list is told to ignore only the first
parent). That change also eliminates a code path where a popen()ed handle
was not pclose()ed.

2759cbc774 git-fetch-pack: avoid unnecessary zero packing
If everything is up-to-date locally, we don't need to even ask for a
pack-file from the remote, or try to unpack it.

This is especially important for tags - since the pack-file common commit
logic is based purely on the commit history, it will never be able to find
a common tag, and will thus always end up re-fetching them.

Especially notably, if the tag points to a non-commit (eg a tagged tree),
the pack-file would be unnecessarily big, just because it cannot any most
recent common point between commits for pruning.

Short-circuiting the case where we already have that reference means that
we avoid a lot of these in the common case.

NOTE! This only matches remote ref names against the same local name,
which works well for tags, but is not as generic as it could be. If we
ever need to, we could match against _any_ local ref (if we have it, we
have it), but this "match against same name" is simpler and more
efficient, and covers the common case.

Renaming of refs is common for branch heads, but since those are always
commits, the pack-file generation can optimize that case.

In some cases we might still end up fetching pack-files unnecessarily, but
this at least avoids the re-fetching of tags over and over if you use a
regular

	git fetch --tags ...

which was the main reason behind the change.

516236ce3f Get rid of nasty utf-8 characters in printout
Oh, well..  FC4 has UTF-8 as the default environment, and I applaud
that, but then it sometimes results in these characters that aren't
actually visible as a problem.

85c414b5e0 git-fetch-pack: close output fd after dup'ing the input
With the socket case, the input and output fd's might end up being the same,
so we want to dup the other before we close either of them.

41cb7488b9 Move "get_ack()" to common git_connect functions
git-clone-pack will want it too. Soon.

4f7770c87c Remove multi-head support from fetch-pack
It was a misguided attempt to mix fetching and cloning. I'll make
a separate clone thing.

723c31fea2 Add "git_path()" and "head_ref()" helper functions.
"git_path()" returns a static pathname pointer into the git directory
using a printf-like format specifier.

"head_ref()" works like "for_each_ref()", except for just the HEAD.

75bfc6c232 Make git-fetch-pack actually do all the unpacking etc.
It returns the result SHA1 on stdout, so you can do

	remote=$(git-fetch-pack host:dir branchname)

and it will unpack the objects and "remote" will be the SHA1 name of the
branch on the other side.  You can then save that off, or merge it, or
whatever.

fb9040cc83 Make git-fetch-pack and git-upload-pack negotiate needs/haves fully
Now the only piece missing is actually generating the pack-file.

def88e9afb Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack"
It's meant to be used by "git fetch" for the local and ssh case.

It doesn't actually do the fetching now, but it does discover the common
commit point.
