archive: move file extension format-guessing lower
The process for guessing an archive output format based on
the filename is something like this:
a. parse --output in cmd_archive; check the filename
against a static set of mapping heuristics (right now
it just matches ".zip" for zip files).
b. if found, stick a fake "--format=zip" at the beginning
of the arguments list (if the user did specify a
--format manually, the later option will override our
fake one)
c. if it's a remote call, ship the arguments to the remote
(including the fake), which will call write_archive on
their end
d. if it's local, ship the arguments to write_archive
locally
There are two problems:
1. The set of mappings is static and at too high a level.
The write_archive level is going to check config for
user-defined formats, some of which will specify
extensions. We need to delay lookup until those are
parsed, so we can match against them.
2. For a remote archive call, our set of mappings (or
formats) may not match the remote side's. This is OK in
practice right now, because all versions of git
understand "zip" and "tar". But as new formats are
added, there is going to be a mismatch between what the
client can do and what the remote server can do.
To fix (1), this patch refactors the location guessing to
happen at the write_archive level, instead of the
cmd_archive level. So instead of sticking a fake --format
field in the argv list, we actually pass a "name hint" down
the callchain; this hint is used at the appropriate time to
guess the format (if one hasn't been given already).
This patch leaves (2) unfixed. The name_hint is converted to
a "--format" option as before, and passed to the remote.
This means the local side's idea of how extensions map to
formats will take precedence.
Another option would be to pass the name hint to the remote
side and let the remote choose. This isn't a good idea for
two reasons:
1. There's no room in the protocol for passing that
information. We can pass a new argument, but older
versions of git on the server will choke on it.
2. Letting the remote side decide creates a silent
inconsistency in user experience. Consider the case
that the locally installed git knows about the "tar.gz"
format, but a remote server doesn't.
Running "git archive -o foo.tar.gz" will use the tar.gz
format. If we use --remote, and the local side chooses
the format, then we send "--format=tar.gz" to the
remote, which will complain about the unknown format.
But if we let the remote side choose the format, then
it will realize that it doesn't know about "tar.gz" and
output uncompressed tar without even issuing a warning.
