There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git
process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the
quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In
others it is a requirement for using certain functions in
libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called
git_extract_argv0_path()).

Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c
version of main(). However, there are still a few external
commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to
remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are
not always consistent.

Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this
harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can
run this standard startup.

We basically have two options to do this:

 - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by
   adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a
   wrapper that calls mingw_startup().

   The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need
   to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the
   preprocessor.

   The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup
   sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is
   quietly inserting new code.

 - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(),
   and git.c's main() calls them.

   This is much more explicit, which may make things more
   obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more
   flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_
   cmd_foo() to call).

   The downside is that each of the builtins must define
   cmd_foo(), instead of just main().

This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more
explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We
introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It
expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is
linked against.

We link common-main.o against anything that links against
libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do
this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside
libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main()
function automatically (it has no callers).

The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various
external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main().
I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which
means that all of the programs also need to match its
signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to
"const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect
ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well.

This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result
is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const
anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature
(which also matches the way builtins are defined).

Before commit 986bbc08, git was proactive about asking for
http passwords. It assumed that if you had a username in
your URL, you would also want a password, and asked for it
before making any http requests.

However, this could interfere with the use of .netrc (see
986bbc08 for details). And it was also unnecessary, since
the http fetching code had learned to recognize an HTTP 401
and prompt the user then. Furthermore, the proactive prompt
could interfere with the usage of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for
details).

Unfortunately, the http push-over-DAV code never learned to
recognize HTTP 401, and so was broken by this change. This
patch does a quick fix of re-enabling the "proactive auth"
strategy only for http-push, leaving the dumb http fetch and
smart-http as-is.

Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.

This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.

This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.

The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.

= Installation

Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.

= Perl

Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.

Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.

Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.

I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.

See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.

= Shell

Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.

If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.

If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.

= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h

We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.

The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.

GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

The http_init function takes a "struct remote". Part of its
initialization procedure is to look at the remote's url and
grab some auth-related parameters. However, using the url
included in the remote is:

  - wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate,
    unrelated URL (e.g., from remote.*.pushurl). Looking at
    the remote's configured url is incorrect.

  - incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes
    NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are
    actually going to use.

  - cumbersome; http-push has a similar problem to
    http-fetch, but actually builds a fake remote just to
    pass in the URL.

Instead, let's just add a separate URL parameter to
http_init, and all three callsites can pass in the
appropriate information.

Do away with a second url variable, rewritten_url, and make url
non-const. This is safe because the functions called with url (ie.
get_http_walker() and walker_fetch()) do not modify it (ie. marked with
const char *).

Also, replace code that adds a trailing slash with a call to
str_end_url_with_slash().

Previously, all our http operations were done with http-walker. With the
new remote-curl helper, we find ourselves using http methods outside of
http-walker - for example, fetching info/refs.

Accomodate this by separating http_init() and http_cleanup() invocations
from http-walker.

This splits up git-http-fetch so that it isn't built-in.

It also removes the general dependency on curl, because it is no
longer used by any built-in code. Because they are no longer LIB_OBJS,
add LIB_H to the dependencies of http-related object files, and remove
http.h from the dependencies of transport.o

In transport.c, proxy setting (the one from the remote conf) was set through
curl_easy_setopt() call, while http.c already does the same with the
http.proxy setting. We now just use this infrastructure instead, and make
http_init() now take the struct remote as argument so that it can take the
http_proxy setting from there, and any other property that would be added
later.

At the same time, we make get_http_walker() take a struct remote argument
too, and pass it to http_init(), which makes remote defined proxy be used
for more than get_refs_via_curl().

We leave out http-fetch and http-push, which don't use remotes for the
moment, purposefully.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

This turns the extern functions to be provided by the backend into a

directly).
