Currently, running:
make SHELL_PATH=/bin/bash &&
make SHELL_PATH=/bin/sh
will not rebuild any shell scripts in the second command,
leading to incorrect results when building from an unclean
working directory.
This patch introduces a new dependency meta-file to notice
the change.

No shell script actually uses the replacement (it is used in
some perl scripts, but cmd_munge_script only handles shell
scripts). We can also therefore drop the dependency on
GIT-VERSION-FILE.

Most of the build targets do not care about the setting of
$prefix (or its derivative variables), but will be rebuilt
if the prefix changes. For most setups this doesn't matter
(they set prefix once and never change it), but for a setup
which puts each branch or version in its own prefix, this
unnecessarily causes a full rebuild whenever the branc is
changed.

To avoid noise during builds, unlike the GIT-CFLAGS rule which prints
"* new build flags or prefix" so the operator knows why all files are
being rebuilt when it changes, GIT-USER-AGENT generation is silent.
If this code breaks and a target depending on GIT-USER-AGENT ends up
being rebuilt when it shouldn't be, the full dependency chain can be
retrieved with "make --debug=b".

The default user-agent depends on the GIT_VERSION, which
means that anytime you switch versions, it causes a full
rebuild. Instead, let's split it out into its own file and
restrict the dependency to version.o.

When a C file "foo.c" depends on a generated header file, we
note the dependency for the "foo.o" target. However, we
should also note it for other targets that are built from
foo.c, like "foo.sp" and "foo.s". These tend to be missed
because the latter two are not part of the default build,
and are typically built after a regular build which will
generate the header. Let's be consistent about including
them in dependencies.
This also makes us more consistent with nearby lines which
tack on EXTRA_CPPFLAGS when building certain files. These
flags may sometimes require extra dependencies to be added
(e.g., like GIT-VERSION-FILE; this is not the case for any
of the updated lines in this patch, but it is establishing a
style that will be used in later patches). Technically the
".sp" and ".s" targets do not care about these dependencies,
because they are force-built (".sp" because it is a phony
target, and ".s" because we explicitly force a rebuild).
Since the blocks in question are about communicating "things
built from foo.c depend on these flags", it frees the reader
from having to know or care more about how those targets are
implemented, and why it is OK for only "foo.o" to depend on
GIT-VERSION-FILE while "foo.sp" and "foo.s" both are
impacted by $(GIT_VERSION). And it helps future-proof us if
those force-build details should ever change.
This patch explicitly does not update the static header
dependencies used when COMPUTED_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES is off.
They are similar to the GIT-VERSION-FILE case above, in that
technically "foo.s" would depend on its included headers,
but it is irrelevant because we force-build it anyway. So it
would be tempting to update them in the same way (for
readability and future-proofing). However, those rules are
meant as a fallback to the computed header dependencies,
which do not handle ".s" and ".sp" at all (and are a much
harder problem to solve, as gcc is the one generating those
dependency lists).
So let's leave that harder problem until (and if) somebody
wants to change the ".sp" and ".s" rules, and keep the
static header dependencies consistent with the computed
ones.

Just like MISC_H (see previous commit), there is no reason to track
xdiff and vcs-svn headers separately from the rest of the headers.
The only purpose of these variables is to keep track of recompilation
dependencies.
As a pleasant side effect, folding these into LIB_H lets us stop
tracking GIT_OBJS and VCSSVN_TEST_OBJS separately from the list of all
OBJECTS.

We keep a list of most of the header files in LIB_H, but
some are split out into MISC_H. The original point
of LIB_H was that it would force recompilation of C files
when any of the library headers changed. It was
over-encompassing, since not all C files included all of the
library headers; this made it simple to maintain, but meant
that we sometimes recompiled when it was not necessary.
Over time, some new headers were omitted from LIB_H, and
rules were added to the Makefile for a few specific targets
to explicitly depend on them. This avoided some unnecessary
recompilation at the cost of having to maintain the
dependency list of those targets manually (e.g., d349a03).
Later, we needed a complete list of headers from which we
should extract strings to localized. Thus 1b8b2e4 introduced
MISC_H to mention all header files not included in LIB_H,
and the concatenation of the two lists is fed to xgettext.
Headers mentioned as dependencies must also be manually
added to MISC_H to receive the benefits of localization.
Having to update multiple locations manually is a pain and
has led to errors. For example, see "git log -Swt-status.h
Makefile" for some back-and-forth between the two locations.
Or the fact that column.h was never added to MISC_H, and
therefore was not localized (which is fixed by this patch).
Moreover, the benefits of keeping these few headers out of
LIB_H is not that great, for two reasons:
1. The better way to do this is by auto-computing the
dependencies, which is more accurate and less work to
maintain. If your compiler supports it, we turn on
computed header dependencies by default these days. So
these manual dependencies are used only for people who
do not have gcc at all (which increases the chance of
them becoming stale, as many developers will never even
use them).
2. Even if you do not have gcc, the manual header
dependencies do not help all that much. They obviously
cannot help with an initial compilation (since their
purpose is to avoid unnecessary recompilation when a
header changes), which means they are only useful when
building a new version of git in the working tree that
held an existing build (e.g., after checkout or during a
bisection). But since a change of a header in LIB_H
will force recompilation, and given that the vast
majority of headers are in LIB_H, most version changes
will result in a full rebuild anyway.
Let's just fold MISC_H into LIB_H and get rid of these
manual rules. The worst case is some extra compilation, but
even that is unlikely to matter due to the reasons above.
The one exception is that we should keep common-cmds.h
separate. Because it is generated, the computed dependencies
do not handle it properly, and we must keep separate
individual dependencies on it. Let's therefore rename MISC_H
to GENERATED_H to make it more clear what should go in it.

Your build platform may support hardlinks but you may prefer not to use

This puts delta resolving on each base on a separate thread, one base

A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:
- enabling: always, never and auto
- layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
- other future tuning flags
git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output

Document the default pager and editor chosen at compile time in the
git-var(1) manpage so users curious about what command _this_ copy of
git will fall back to when EDITOR, VISUAL, and PAGER are unset can
find the answer quickly.
In builds leaving those settings uncustomized, this patch makes the
manpage continue to say "usually vi" and "usually less" so the
formatted documentation is usable for a wide audience including users
of custom builds that change those settings. If you would like your

DEFAULT_PAGER=less and DEFAULT_EDITOR=vi explicitly.

Redo the hashing loop in xdl_hash_record in a way that loads an entire
'long' at a time, using masking tricks to see when and where we found
the terminating '\n'.
I stole inspiration and code from the posts by Linus Torvalds around
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/2/452
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/5/6
His method reads the buffers in sizeof(long) increments, and may thus
overrun it by at most sizeof(long)-1 bytes before it sees the final
newline (or hits the buffer length check). I considered padding out
all buffers by a suitable amount to "catch" the overrun, but
* this does not work for mmap()'d buffers: if you map 4096+8 bytes
from a 4096 byte file, accessing the last 8 bytes results in a
SIGBUS on my machine; and
* it would also be extremely ugly because it intrudes deep into the
unpacking machinery.
So I adapted it to not read beyond the buffer at all. Instead, it
reads the final partial word byte-by-byte and strings it together.
Then it can use the same logic as before to finish the hashing.
So far we enable this only on x86_64, where it provides nice speedup
for diff-related work:
Test origin/next tr/xdiff-fast-hash
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
4000.1: log -3000 (baseline) 0.07(0.05+0.02) 0.08(0.06+0.02) +14.3%

During the testing of the 1.7.10 rc series on Solaris for OpenCSW, it
was discovered that t7006-pager was failing due to finding a bad "sh"
in PATH after a call to execvp("sh", ...). This call was setup by
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd.
The PATH in use at the time saw /opt/csw/bin given precedence to
traditional Solaris paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/xpg4/bin. A
package named schilyutils (Joerg Schilling's utilities) was installed
on the build system and it delivered a modified version of the
traditional Solaris /usr/bin/sh as /opt/csw/bin/sh. This version of
sh suffers from many of the same problems as /usr/bin/sh.
The command-specific pager test failed due to the broken "sh" handling
^ as a pipe character. It tried to fork two processes when it
encountered "sed s/^/foo:/" as the pager command. This problem was
entirely dependent on the PATH of the user at runtime.
Possible fixes for this issue are:
1. Use the standard system() or popen() which both launch a POSIX
shell on Solaris as long as _POSIX_SOURCE is defined.
2. The git wrapper could prepend SANE_TOOL_PATH to PATH thus forcing
all unqualified commands run to use the known good tools on the
system.
3. The run_command.c:prepare_shell_command() could use the same
SHELL_PATH that is in the #! line of all all scripts and not rely
on PATH to find the sh to run.
Option 1 would preclude opening a bidirectional pipe to a filter
script and would also break git for Windows as cmd.exe is spawned from
system() (cf. v1.7.5-rc0~144^2, "alias: use run_command api to execute
aliases, 2011-01-07).
Option 2 is not friendly to users as it would negate their ability to
use tools of their choice in many cases. Alternately, injecting
SANE_TOOL_PATH such that it takes precedence over /bin and /usr/bin
(and anything with lower precedence than those paths) as
git-sh-setup.sh does would not solve the problem either as the user
environment could still allow a bad sh to be found. (Many OpenCSW
users will have /opt/csw/bin leading their PATH and some subset would
have schilyutils installed.)
Option 3 allows us to use a known good shell while still honouring the
users' PATH for the utilities being run. Thus, it solves the problem
while not negatively impacting either users or git's ability to run
external commands in convenient ways. Essentially, the shell is a
special case of tool that should not rely on SANE_TOOL_PATH and must
be called explicitly.
With this patch applied, any code path leading to
run_command.c:prepare_shell_cmd can count on using the same sane shell
that all shell scripts in the git suite use. Both the build system
and run_command.c will default this shell to /bin/sh unless
overridden.

Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the
revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the
used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks.
We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing
revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to
call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.
