  2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
     file bug reports.

correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and

useless.

vcs-svn: teach line_buffer about temporary files

It can sometimes be useful to write information temporarily to file,
to read back later.  These functions allow a program to use the
line_buffer facilities when doing so.

It works like this:

 1. find a unique filename with buffer_tmpfile_init.
 2. rewind with buffer_tmpfile_rewind.  This returns a stdio
    handle for writing.
 3. when finished writing, declare so with
    buffer_tmpfile_prepare_to_read.  The return value indicates
    how many bytes were written.
 4. read whatever portion of the file is needed.
 5. if finished, remove the temporary file with buffer_deinit.
    otherwise, go back to step 2,

The svn support would use this to buffer the postimage from delta
application until the length is known and fast-import can receive
the resulting blob.

vcs-svn: add binary-safe read function

buffer_read_string works well for non line-oriented input except for
one problem: it does not tell the caller how many bytes were actually
written.  This means that unless one is very careful about checking
for errors (and eof) the calling program cannot tell the difference
between the string "foo" followed by an early end of file and the
string "foo\0bar\0baz".

So introduce a variant that reports the length, too, a thinner wrapper
around strbuf_fread.  Its result is written to a strbuf so the caller
does not need to keep track of the number of bytes read.

t0081 (line-buffer): add buffering tests

POSIX makes the behavior of read(2) from a pipe fairly clear: a read
from an empty pipe will block until there is data available and any
other read will not block, prefering to return a partial result.
Likewise, fread(3) and fgets(3) are clearly specified to act as
though implemented by calling fgetc(3) in a simple loop.  But the
buffering behavior of fgetc is less clear.

Luckily, no sane platform is going to implement fgetc by calling the
equivalent of read(2) more than once.  fgetc has to be able to
return without filling its buffer to preserve errno when errors are
encountered anyway.  So let's assume the simpler behavior (trust) but
add some tests to catch insane platforms that violate that when they
come (verify).

First check that fread can handle a 0-length read from an empty fifo.
Because open(O_RDONLY) blocks until the writing end is open, open the
writing end of the fifo in advance in a subshell.

Next try short inputs from a pipe that is not filled all the way.

Lastly (two tests) try very large inputs from a pipe that will not fit
in the relevant buffers.  The first of these tests reads a little
more than 8192 bytes, which is BUFSIZ (the size of stdio's buffers)
on this Linux machine.  The second reads a little over 64 KiB (the
pipe capacity on Linux) and is not run unless requested by setting
the GIT_REMOTE_SVN_TEST_BIG_FILES environment variable.

Lazy fast-import frontend authors that want to rely on the backend to

they need in the 'cat-blob' command (v1.7.4-rc0~30^2~3, 2010-11-28).
But it is not quite enough, since

 (1) cat-blob can be used to retrieve the content of files, but
     not their mode, and

 (2) using cat-blob requires the frontend to keep track of a name
     (mark number or object id) for each blob to be retrieved

Introduce an 'ls' command to complement cat-blob and take care of the
remaining needs.  The 'ls' command finds what is at a given path
within a given tree-ish (tag, commit, or tree):

'ls' SP <dataref> SP <path> LF

or in fast-import's active commit:

'ls' SP <path> LF

The most interesting parts of the reply are the first word, which is
a 6-digit octal mode (regular file, executable, symlink, directory,
or submodule), and the part from the second space to the tab, which is
a <dataref> that can be used in later cat-blob, ls, and filemodify (M)
commands to refer to the content (blob, tree, or commit) at that path.

If there is nothing there, the response is "missing some/path".

The intent is for this command to be used to read files from the
active commit, so a frontend can apply patches to them, and to copy
files and directories from previous revisions.

For example, proposed updates to svn-fe use this command in place of
its internal representation of the repository directory structure.
This simplifies the frontend a great deal and means support for
resuming an import in a separate fast-import run (i.e., incremental
import) is basically free.

When "git commit" was rewritten in C (v1.5.4-rc0~78^2~30,
2007-11-08), a subtle bug in --template was introduced.  If the
file named by a --template parameter is missing, previously git
would error out with a message:

Commit template file does not exist.

but in the C version the --template parameter gets ignored and
the default template is used.

t7500 has two tests for this case which would have caught it, except
that with the default $EDITOR, the commit message template is left
unmodified, causing 'git commit' to error out and the test to

diff: handle diffstat of rewritten binary files

The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:

  $ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
   foo.rand |  Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
   1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

   foo.rand |   34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
   1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
   rewrite foo.rand (100%)

So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.

There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:

  1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.

  2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
     further optimize it in the next patch.

Teach commit about CHERRY_PICK_HEAD

Previously the user was advised to use commit -c CHERRY_PICK_HEAD after
a conflicting cherry-pick. While this would preserve the original
commit's authorship, it would sadly discard cherry-pick's carefully
crafted MERGE_MSG (which contains the list of conflicts as well as the
original commit-id in the case of cherry-pick -x).

On the other hand, if a bare 'commit' were performed, it would preserve
the MERGE_MSG while resetting the authorship.

In other words, there was no way to simultaneously take the authorship
from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.

This change fixes that situation. A bare 'commit' will now take the
authorship from CHERRY_PICK_HEAD and the commit message from MERGE_MSG.
If the user wishes to reset authorship, that must now be done explicitly
via --reset-author.

A side-benefit of passing commit authorship along this way is that we
can eliminate redundant authorship parsing code from revert.c.

Note that we record CHERRY_PICK_HEAD even in the case where there
are no conflicts so that we may use it to communicate authorship to
