Anyplace we talk about the address of a remote repository we always
refer to it as a URL, especially in the configuration file and
.git/remotes where we call it "remote.$n.url" or start the first
line with "URL:". Calling this value a uri within the internal C
code just doesn't jive well with our commonly accepted terms.

The function for_each_remote() does exactly what the name
suggests.
The function remote_find_tracking() was extended to be able to
search remote refs for a given local ref. The caller sets
either src or dst (but not both) in the refspec parameter, and
remote_find_tracking() will fill in the other and return 0.
Both changes are required for the next step: simplification of
git-branch's --track functionality.

This means that send-pack and http-push will support pattern refspecs,
so builtin-push.c doesn't have to expand them, and also git push can
just turn --tags into "refs/tags/*", further simplifying

2) convert the existing write_in_full() calls to write_or_whine()

send-pack builds a pipeline that runs "rev-list | pack-objects"
and sends the output from pack-objects to the other side, while
feeding the input side of that pipe from itself. However, the
file descriptor that is given to this pipeline (so that it can
be dup2(2)'ed into file descriptor 1 of pack-objects) is closed
by the caller before the complex fork+exec dance! Worse yet,
the caller already dup2's it to 1, so the child process did not
even have to.
I do not understand how this code could possibly have been
working, but it somehow was working by accident.
Merging the sliding mmap() code reveals this problem, presumably
because it keeps one extra file descriptor open for a packfile
and changes the way file descriptors are allocated. I am too
tired to diagnose the problem now, but this seems to be a
sensible fix.

"git push $URL HEAD~6" created a bogus ref HEAD~6 immediately
under $GIT_DIR of the remote repository. While we should keep
refspecs that have arbitrary extended SHA-1 expression on the
source side working (e.g. "HEAD~6:refs/tags/yesterday"), we
should not create bogus ref on the other end.

This allows you to say
git send-pack $URL :refs/heads/$branch

replace the destination ref with the object known as $src on the

mean "No object" to delete the target.

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.

When we are generating packs to update remote repositories we
want to supply as much information as possible about the revisions
that already exist to rev-list in order optimise the pack as much
as possible. We need to pass two revisions for each branch we are
updating in the remote repository and one for each additional branch.
Where the remote repository has numerous branches we can run out
of command line space to pass them.
Utilise the git-rev-list --stdin mode to allow unlimited numbers
of revision constraints. This allows us to move back to the much
simpler unordered revision selection code.

This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them

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*.

This makes git-peek-remote able to basically do everything that
git-ls-remote does (but obviously just for the native protocol, so no
http[s]: or rsync: support).
The default behaviour is the same, but you can now give a mixture of
"--refs", "--tags" and "--heads" flags, where "--refs" forces
git-peek-remote to only show real refs (ie none of the fakey tag lookups,
but also not the special pseudo-refs like HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).
The "--tags" and "--heads" flags respectively limit the output to just
regular tags and heads, of course.
You can still also ask to limit them by name too.
You can combine the flags, so
git peek-remote --refs --tags .
will show all local _true_ tags, without the generated tag lookups
(compare the output without the "--refs" flag).
And "--tags --heads" will show both tags and heads, but will avoid (for
example) any special refs outside of the standard locations.
I'm also planning on adding a "--ignore-local" flag that allows us to ask
it to ignore any refs that we already have in the local tree, but that's
an independent thing.
All this is obviously gearing up to making "git fetch" cheaper.

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.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
