01fdc21f6e push/fetch/clone --no-progress suppresses progress output
By default, progress output is disabled if stderr is not a terminal.
The --progress option can be used to force progress output anyways.
Conversely, --no-progress does not force progress output. In particular,
if stderr is a terminal, progress output is enabled.

This is unintuitive. Change --no-progress to force output off.

b3256eb8b3 standardize and improve lookup rules for external local repos
When you specify a local repository on the command line of
clone, ls-remote, upload-pack, receive-pack, or upload-archive,
or in a request to git-daemon, we perform a little bit of
lookup magic, doing things like looking in working trees for
.git directories and appending ".git" for bare repos.

For clone, this magic happens in get_repo_path. For
everything else, it happens in enter_repo. In both cases,
there are some ambiguous or confusing cases that aren't
handled well, and there is one case that is not handled the
same by both methods.

This patch tries to provide (and test!) standard, sensible
lookup rules for both code paths. The intended changes are:

  1. When looking up "foo", we have always preferred
     a working tree "foo" (containing "foo/.git" over the
     bare "foo.git". But we did not prefer a bare "foo" over
     "foo.git". With this patch, we do so.

  2. We would select directories that existed but didn't
     actually look like git repositories. With this patch,
     we make sure a selected directory looks like a git
     repo. Not only is this more sensible in general, but it
     will help anybody who is negatively affected by change
     (1) negatively (e.g., if they had "foo.git" next to its
     separate work tree "foo", and expect to keep finding
     "foo.git" when they reference "foo").

  3. The enter_repo code path would, given "foo", look for
     "foo.git/.git" (i.e., do the ".git" append magic even
     for a repo with working tree). The clone code path did
     not; with this patch, they now behave the same.

In the unlikely case of a working tree overlaying a bare
repo (i.e., a ".git" directory _inside_ a bare repo), we
continue to treat it as a working tree (prefering the
"inner" .git over the bare repo). This is mainly because the
combination seems nonsensical, and I'd rather stick with
existing behavior on the off chance that somebody is relying
on it.

e6baf4a1ae clone: clone from a repository with relative alternates
Cloning from a local repository blindly copies or hardlinks all the files
under objects/ hierarchy. This results in two issues:

 - If the repository cloned has an "objects/info/alternates" file, and the
   command line of clone specifies --reference, the ones specified on the
   command line get overwritten by the copy from the original repository.

 - An entry in a "objects/info/alternates" file can specify the object
   stores it borrows objects from as a path relative to the "objects/"
   directory. When cloning a repository with such an alternates file, if
   the new repository is not sitting next to the original repository, such
   relative paths needs to be adjusted so that they can be used in the new
   repository.

This updates add_to_alternates_file() to take the path to the alternate
object store, including the "/objects" part at the end (earlier, it was
taking the path to $GIT_DIR and was adding "/objects" itself), as it is
technically possible to specify in objects/info/alternates file the path
of a directory whose name does not end with "/objects".

dbc92b072d clone: allow more than one --reference
Also add a test to expose a long-standing bug that is triggered when
cloning with --reference option from a local repository that has its own
alternates. The alternate object stores specified on the command line
are lost, and only alternates copied from the source repository remain.
The bug will be fixed in the next patch.

84054f79de clone: accept config options on the command line
Clone does all of init, "remote add", fetch, and checkout
without giving the user a chance to intervene and set any
configuration. This patch allows you to set config options
in the newly created repository after the clone, but before
we do any other operations.

In many cases, this is a minor convenience over something
like:

  git clone git://...
  git config core.whatever true

But in some cases, it can bring extra efficiency by changing
how the fetch or checkout work. For example, setting
line-ending config before the checkout avoids having to
re-checkout all of the contents with the correct line
endings.

It also provides a mechanism for passing information to remote
helpers during a clone; the helpers may read the git config
to influence how they operate.

c1921c184c clone: always fetch remote HEAD
In most cases, fetching the remote HEAD explicitly is
unnecessary. It's just a symref pointing to a branch which
we are already fetching, so we will already ask for its sha1.

However, if the remote has a detached HEAD, things are less
certain. We do not ask for HEAD's sha1, but we do try to
write it into a local detached HEAD. In most cases this is
fine, as the remote HEAD is pointing to some part of the
history graph that we will fetch via the refs.

But if the remote HEAD points to an "orphan" commit (one
which was is not an ancestor of any refs), then we will not
have the object, and update_ref will complain when we try to
write the detached HEAD, aborting the whole clone.

This patch makes clone always explicitly ask the remote for
the sha1 of its HEAD commit. In the non-detached case, this
is a no-op, as we were going to ask for that sha1 anyway. In
the regular detached case, this will add an extra "want" to
the protocol negotiation, but will not change the history
that gets sent. And in the detached orphan case, we will
fetch the orphaned history so that we can write it into our
local detached HEAD.

bbc30f9963 add packet tracing debug code
This shows a trace of all packets coming in or out of a given
program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or
other protocol issues.

To keep the code changes simple, we operate at the lowest
level, meaning we don't necessarily understand what's in the
packets. The one exception is a packet starting with "PACK",
which causes us to skip that packet and turn off tracing
(since the gigantic pack data will not be interesting to
read, at least not in the trace format).

We show both written and read packets. In the local case,
this may mean you will see packets twice (written by the
sender and read by the receiver). However, for cases where
the other end is remote, this allows you to see the full
conversation.

Packet tracing can be enabled with GIT_TRACE_PACKET=<foo>,
where <foo> takes the same arguments as GIT_TRACE.

Since 86ac751 (Allow cloning an empty repository,

  git clone does-not-exist

has created does-not-exist as an empty repository. This was
an unintentional side effect of 86ac751. Even weirder,
doing:

  git clone does-not-exist new-dir

_does_ fail, making this "feature" (if you want to consider
it such) broken. Let's detect this situation and explicitly
die. It's almost certainly not what the user intended.

This patch also adds two tests. One for the missing path
case, and one to confirm that a similar case, cloning a
non-repository directory, fails.

When cloning into a non-bare repository, e.g. "git clone $URL mine",
we used to report that we are cloning into "mine/.git".  Reword the
report to say "Cloning into mine" instead, as that matches what the
end-user asked for closer.

Make the message for "git clone --bare $URL mine" to say "Cloning
into bare repository mine" do make the distinction between this case and
the above stand out a bit more prominently.

Currently when using a remote helper to clone a repository, the
remote helper will be passed the url of the target repository as
first argument (which represents the name of the remote). This name
is extracted from transport->remote->name, which is set by
builtin/clone.c when it calls remote_get with argv[0] as argument.

Fix this by passing the name remote will be set up as instead.

However, setup_reference calls remote_get before the remote is
added to the config file. This will result in an improperly
configured remote (in memory) if later on remote_get is called
with an argument that is not equal to the initial remote_get call
in setup_reference. Fix this by delaying the remote_get call until
after the remote has been added to the config file.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
