user-manual: reorganize public git repo discussion
Helping a couple people set up public repos recently, I wanted to point
them at this piece of the user manual, but found it wasn't as helpful as
it could be:
- It starts with a big explanation of why you'd want a public
repository, not necessary in their case since they already knew
why they wanted that. So, separate that out.
- It skimps on some of the git-daemon details, and puts the http
export information first. Fix that.
Also group all the public repo subsections into a single section, and do
some miscellaneous related editing.

git name-rev writes beyond the end of malloc() with large generations
When using git name-rev on my kernel tree I triggered a malloc()
corruption warning from glibc.
apw@pinky$ git log --pretty=one $N/base.. | git name-rev --stdin
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0bff8950 ***
Aborted
This comes from name_rev() which is building the name of the revision
in a malloc'd string, which it sprintf's into:
char *new_name = xmalloc(len + 8);
[...]
sprintf(new_name, "%.*s~%d^%d", len, tip_name,
generation, parent_number);
This allocation is only sufficient if the generation number is
less than 5 digits, in my case generation was 13432. In reality
parent_number can be up to 16 so that also can require two digits,
reducing us to 3 digits before we are at risk of blowing this
allocation.
This patch introduces a decimal_length() which approximates the
number of digits a type may hold, it produces the following:
Type Longest Value Len Est
---- ------------- --- ---
unsigned char 256 3 4
unsigned short 65536 5 6

git-svn: don't attempt to minimize URLs by default
For tracking branches and tags, git-svn prefers to connect
to the root of the repository or at least the level that
houses branches and tags as well as trunk. However, users
that are accustomed to tracking a single directory have
no use for this feature.
As pointed out by Junio, users may not have permissions to
connect to connect to a higher-level path in the repository.
While the current minimize_url() function detects lack of
permissions to certain paths _after_ successful logins, it
cannot effectively determine if it is trying to access a
login-only portion of a repo when the user expects to
connect to a part where anonymous access is allowed.
For people used to the git-svnimport switches of
--trunk, --tags, --branches, they'll already pass the
repository root (or root+subdirectory), so minimize URL
isn't of too much use to them, either.
For people *not* used to git-svnimport, git-svn also
supports:
git svn init --minimize-url \
--trunk http://repository-root/foo/trunk \
--branches http://repository-root/foo/branches \
--tags http://repository-root/foo/tags
And this is where the new --minimize-url command-line switch
comes in to allow for this behavior to continue working.

Put our caches for get_dir and check_path calls directly into

dirents returned by get_dir() no longer needs the pool object
stored persistently along with the cache data, as they'll be

testing the length of the name string here, not if it is "true".
The problem is the string '0' is actually false in Perl when we
try to evaluate it in this context, as '0' is 0 numerically and
the number 0 is treated as a false value. This would cause us
to break out of the import loop early if anyone had a file or
directory named "0".

blame: -C -C -C

latter half of the file2 came from the existing file1:

that makes unchanged file (in this case, file1) as a candidate

Teach import-tars about GNU tar's @LongLink extension.
This extension allows GNU tar to process file names in excess of the 100
characters defined by the original tar standard. It does this by faking a
file, named '././@LongLink' containing the true file name, and then adding
the file with a truncated name. The idea is that tar without this
extension will write out a file with the long file name, and write the
contents into a file with truncated name.
Unfortunately, GNU tar does a lousy job at times. When truncating results
in a _directory_ name, it will happily use _that_ as a truncated name for
the file.
An example where this actually happens is gcc-4.1.2, where the full path
of the file WeThrowThisExceptionHelper.java truncates _exactly_ before the
basename. So, we have to support that ad-hoc extension.
