Chose better tag names in git-describe after merges.

Recently git.git itself encountered a situation on its master and
next branches where git-describe stopped reporting 'v1.5.0-rc0-gN'
and instead started reporting 'v1.4.4.4-gN'.  This appeared to be
a backward jump in version numbering.

  maint     o-------------------4
            \                    \
  master     o-o-o-o-o-o-o-5-o-C-o-W

The issue is that commit C in the diagram claims it is version
1.5.0, as the tag v1.5.0 is placed on commit 5.  Yet commit W
claims it is version 1.4.4.4 as the tag v1.5.0 has an older tag
date than the v1.4.4.4 tag.

As it turns out this situation is very common.  A bug fix applied
to maint and later merged into master occurs frequently enough that
it should Just Work Right(tm).

Rather than taking the first tag that gets found git-describe will
now generate a list of all possible tags and select the one which
has the most number of commits in common with HEAD (or whatever
revision the user requested the description of).

This rule is based on the principle shown in the diagram above.
There are a large number of commits on the primary development branch
'master' which do not appear in the 'maint' branch, and many of
these are already tagged as part of v1.5.0-rc0.  Additionally these
commits are not in v1.4.4.4, as they are part of the v1.5.0 release
still being developed.  The v1.5.0-rc0 tag is more descriptive of
W than v1.4.4.4 is, and therefore should be used.

Better error messages for corrupt databases

This fixes another problem that Andy's case showed: git-fsck-objects
reports nonsensical results for corrupt objects.

There were actually two independent and confusing problems:

 - when we had a zero-sized file and used map_sha1_file, mmap() would
   return EINVAL, and git-fsck-objects would report that as an insane and
   confusing error. I don't know when this was introduced, it might have
   been there forever.

 - when "parse_object()" returned NULL, fsck would say "object not found",
   which can be very confusing, since obviously the object might "exist",
   it's just unparseable because it's totally corrupt.

So this just makes "xmmap()" return NULL for a zero-sized object (which is
a valid thing pointer, exactly the same way "malloc()" can return NULL for
a zero-sized allocation). That fixes the first problem (but we could have
fixed it in the caller too - I don't personally much care whichever way it
goes, but maybe somebody should check that the NO_MMAP case does
something sane in this case too?).

And the second problem is solved by just making the error message slightly
clearer - the failure to parse an object may be because it's missing or
corrupt, not necessarily because it's not "found".

git-checkout: handle local changes sanely when detaching HEAD

When switching branches, we usually first try read-tree to make
sure that we do not lose the local changes and then updated the
HEAD using update-ref.  However, we detached and updated HEAD
before these checks, which was quite bad in a repository with

Don't die in git-http-fetch when fetching packs.

My sp/mmap changes to pack-check.c modified the function such that
it expects packed_git.pack_size to be populated with the total
bytecount of the packfile by the caller.

But that isn't the case for packs obtained by git-http-fetch as
pack_size was not initialized before being accessed.  This caused
verify_pack to think it had 2^32-21 bytes available when the
downloaded pack perhaps was only 305 bytes in length.  The use_pack
function then later dies with "offset beyond end of packfile"

Detached HEAD (experimental)

This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch.  After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch.  You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.

This is still experimental.  While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form.  Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.

On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better.  The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.

We'll see.

git-fetch: allow updating the current branch in a bare repository.

Sometimes, people have only fetch access into a bare repository
that is used as a back-up location (or a distribution point) but
does not have a push access for networking reasons, e.g. one end

Move initialization of log_all_ref_updates

The patches to prevent Porcelainish that require working tree
from doing any damage in a bare repository make a lot of sense,
and I want to make the is_bare_git_dir() function more reliable.

In order to allow the repository owner override the heuristic
implemented in is_bare_git_dir() if/when it misidentifies a
particular repository, it would make sense to introduce a new
configuration variable "[core] bare = true/false", and make
is_bare_git_dir() notice it.

The scripts would do a 'repo-config --bool --get core.bare' and
iff the command fails (i.e. there is no such variable in the
configuration file), it would use the heuristic implemented at
the script level [*1*].

However, setup_git_env() which is called a lot earlier than we
even read from the repository configuration currently makes a
call to is_bare_git_dir(), in order to change the default
setting for log_all_ref_updates.  It somehow feels that this is
a hack.

By the way, [*1*] is another thing I hate about the current
config mechanism.  "git-repo-config --get" does not know what
the possible configuration variables are, let alone what the
default values for them are.  It allows us not to maintain a
centralized configuration table, which makes it easy to
introduce ad-hoc variables and gives a warm fuzzy feeling of
being modular, but my feeling is that it is turning out to be a
rather high price to pay for scripts.

cvsimport: skip commits that are too recent

With this patch, cvsimport will skip commits made
in the last 10 minutes. The recent-ness test is of
5 minutes + cvsps fuzz window (5 minutes default).

When working with a CVS repository that is in use,
importing commits that are too recent can lead to
partially incorrect trees. This is mainly due to

 - Commits that are within the cvsps fuzz window may later
   be found to have affected more files.

 - When performing incremental imports, clock drift between
   the systems may lead to skipped commits.

This commit helps keep incremental imports of in-use
CVS repositories sane.

reflog expire --fix-stale

The logic in an earlier round to detect reflog entries that
point at a broken commit was not sufficient.  Just like we do
not trust presense of a commit during pack transfer (we trust
only our refs), we should not trust a commit's presense, even if
the tree of that commit is complete.

A repository that had reflog enabled on some of the refs that
was rewound and then run git-repack or git-prune from older
versions of git can have reflog entries that point at a commit
that still exist but lack commits (or trees and blobs needed for
that commit) between it and some commit that is reachable from
one of the refs.

This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
refs.  Entries in the reflog that refer to such a commit are
expired.

Since this computation involves traversing all the reachable
objects, i.e. it has the same cost as 'git prune', it is enabled
only when a new option --fix-stale.  Fortunately, once this is
run, we should not have to ever worry about missing objects,
because the current prune and pack-objects know about reflogs
and protect objects referred by them.

Unfortunately, this will be absolutely necessary to help people
migrate to the newer prune and repack.
