If the gain is not obvious in the diffstat, the resulting code is more
readable, _and_ in checkout-index/update-index we now reuse the same buffer
to unquote strings instead of always freeing/mallocing.

This also is more coherent with the next patch that reworks quoting
functions.

The quoting function is also made more efficient scanning for backslashes
and treating portions of strings without a backslash at once.

read_line is now strbuf_getline, and is a first class citizen, it returns 0
when reading a line worked, EOF else.

The ->eof marker was used non-locally by fast-import.c, mimic the same
behaviour using a static int in "read_next_command", that now returns -1 on
EOF, and avoids to call strbuf_getline when it's in EOF state.

Also no longer automagically strbuf_release the buffer, it's counter
intuitive and breaks fast-import in a very subtle way.

Note: being at EOF implies that command_buf.len == 0.

  The gory details are explained in strbuf.h. The change of semantics this
patch enforces is that the embeded buffer has always a '\0' character after
its last byte, to always make it a C-string. The offs-by-one changes are all
related to that very change.

  A strbuf can be used to store byte arrays, or as an extended string
library. The `buf' member can be passed to any C legacy string function,
because strbuf operations always ensure there is a terminating \0 at the end
of the buffer, not accounted in the `len' field of the structure.

  A strbuf can be used to generate a string/buffer whose final size is not
really known, and then "strbuf_detach" can be used to get the built buffer,
and keep the wrapping "strbuf" structure usable for further work again.

  Other interesting feature: strbuf_grow(sb, size) ensure that there is
enough allocated space in `sb' to put `size' new octets of data in the
buffer. It helps avoiding reallocating data for nothing when the problem the
strbuf helps to solve has a known typical size.

When we crash the frontend developer (or end-user) may need to know
roughly around what part of the input stream we had a problem with
and aborted on.  Because line numbers aren't very useful in this
sort of application we instead just keep the last 100 commands in
a FIFO queue and print them as part of the crash report.

Currently one problem with this design is a commit that has
more than 100 modified files in it will flood the FIFO and any
context regarding branch/from/committer/mark/comments will be lost.
We really should save only the last few (10?) file changes for the
current commit, ensuring we have some prior higher level commands
in the FIFO when we crash on a file M/D/C/R command.

Another issue with this approach is the FIFO only includes the
commands, it does not include the commit messages.  Yet having a
commit message may be useful to help locate the relevant change in
the source material.  In practice I don't think this is going to be a
major concern as the frontend can always embed its own source change
set identifier as a comment (which will appear in the crash report)
and the commit message(s) for the most recent commits of any given
branch should be obtainable from the (packed) commit objects.

As fast-import is quite strict about its input and die()'s anytime
something goes wrong it can be difficult for a frontend developer
to troubleshoot why fast-import rejected their input, or to even
determine what input command it rejected.

This change introduces a custom handler for Git's die() routine.
When we receive a die() for any reason (fast-import or a lower level
core Git routine we called) the error is first dumped onto stderr
and then a more extensive crash report file is prepared in GIT_DIR.
Finally we exit the process with status 128, just like the stock
builtin die handler.

An internal flag is set to prevent any further die()'s that may be
invoked during the crash report generator from causing us to enter
into an infinite loop.  We shouldn't die() from our crash report
handler, but just in case someone makes a future code change we are
prepared to gaurd against small mistakes turning into huge problems
for the end-user.

The existing checkpoint command is very useful to force fast-import
to dump the branches out to disk so that standard Git tools can
access them and the objects they refer to.  However there was not a
way to know when fast-import had finished executing the checkpoint
and it was safe to read those refs.

The progress command can be used to make fast-import output any
message of the frontend's choosing to standard out.  The frontend
can scan for these messages using select() or poll() to monitor a
pipe connected to the standard output of fast-import.

For the same reasons as the prior change we want to allow frontends
to omit the trailing LF that usually delimits commands.  In some
cases these just make the input stream more verbose looking than
it needs to be, and its just simpler for the frontend developer to
get started if our parser is slightly more lenient about where an
LF is required and where it isn't.

To make this optional LF feature work we now have to buffer up to one
line of input in command_buf.  This buffering can happen if we look
at the current input command but don't recognize it at this point
in the code.  In such a case we need to "unget" the entire line,
but we cannot depend upon the stdio library to let us do ungetc()
for that many characters at once.

A few fast-import frontend developers have found it odd that we
require the LF following a `data` command, especially in the exact
byte count format.  Technically we don't need this LF to parse
the stream properly, but having it here does make the stream more
readable to humans.  We can easily make the LF optional by peeking
at the next byte available from the stream and pushing it back into
the buffer if its not LF.

Several frontend developers have asked that some form of stream
comments be permitted within a fast-import data stream.  This way
they can include information from their own frontend program about
where specific data was taken from in the source system, or about
a decision that their frontend may have made while creating the
fast-import data stream.

This change introduces comments in the Bourne-shell/Tcl/Perl style.
Lines starting with '#' are ignored, up to and including the LF.
Unlike the above mentioned three languages however we do not look for
and ignore leading whitespace.  This just simplifies the definition
of the comment format and the code that parses them.

To make comments work we had to stop using read_next_command() within
cmd_data() and directly invoke read_line() during the inline variant
of the function.  This is necessary to retain any lines of the
input data that might otherwise look like a comment to fast-import.

Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> noticed while debugging a
Git backend for cvs2svn that fast-import was barfing when he tried
to use "TAG_FIXUP" as a branch name for temporary work needed to
cleanup the tree prior to creating an annotated tag object.

The reason we were rejecting the branch name was check_ref_format()
returns -2 when there are less than 2 '/' characters in the input
name.  TAG_FIXUP has 0 '/' characters, but is technically just as
valid of a ref as HEAD and MERGE_HEAD, so we really should permit it
(and any other similar looking name) during import.

New test cases have been added to make sure we still detect very
wrong branch names (e.g. containing [ or starting with .) and yet
still permit reasonable names (e.g. TAG_FIXUP).

Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory
renames by telling us the directory was copied, then deleted in the
same revision.  This makes it difficult for a frontend to convert
such data formats to a fast-import stream, as all the frontend has
on hand is "Copy a/ to b/; Delete a/" with no details about what
files are in a/, unless the frontend also kept track of all files.

The new 'C' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to make a
recursive copy of one path to another path within the branch, without
needing to keep track of the individual file paths.  The metadata
copy is performed in memory efficiently, but is implemented as a
copy-immediately operation, rather than copy-on-write.

With this new 'C' subcommand frontends could obviously implement an
'R' (rename) on their own as a combination of 'C' and 'D' (delete),
but since we have already offered up 'R' in the past and it is a
trivial thing to keep implemented I'm not going to deprecate it.

Some source material (e.g. Subversion dump files) perform directory

The new 'R' subcommand within a commit allows the frontend to
rename either a file or an entire subdirectory, without needing to
know the object's SHA-1 or the specific files contained within it.
The rename is performed as efficiently as possible internally,
making it cheaper than a 'D'/'M' pair for a file rename.

When e8438420 allowed us to reload
the marks table on subsequent runs of fast-import we really broke
things, as we set pack_id to MAX_PACK_ID for any objects we imported
into the marks table.  Creating a branch from that mark should fail
as we attempt to read the object through a non-existant packed_git
pointer.  Instead we have to use the normal Git object system to
locate the older commit, as we ourselves do not have a reference
to the packed_git it resides in.

This bug only occurred because t9300 was not complete enough.
When we added the --import-marks feature we didn't actually test
its implementation enough to verify the function worked as intended.
I have corrected that, and included the changes as part of this fix.

Some users of fast-import have been trying to use it to rewrite
commits and trees, an activity where the all of the relevant blobs
are already available from the existing packfiles.  In such a case
we don't want to repack a blob, even if the frontend application
has supplied us the raw data rather than a mark or a SHA-1 name.

I'm intentionally only checking the packfiles that existed when
fast-import started and am always ignoring all loose object files.

We ignore loose objects because fast-import tends to operate on a
very large number of objects in a very short timespan, and it is
usually creating new objects, not reusing existing ones.  In such
a situtation the majority of the objects will not be found in the
existing packfiles, nor will they be loose object files.  If the
frontend application really wants us to look at loose object files,
then they can just repack the repository before running fast-import.

When building up a tree for a commit, fast-import
dynamically allocates memory for the tree entries. When more
space is needed, the allocated memory is increased by a
constant amount. For very large trees, this means
re-allocating and memcpy()ing the memory O(n) times.

To compound this problem, releasing the previous tree
resource does not free the memory; it is kept in a pool
for future trees. This means that each of the O(n)
allocations will consume increasing amounts of memory,
giving O(n^2) memory consumption.

When we allow fast-import frontends to reload a mark file from a

the marks to.  This makes it very simple for the frontend to save
state across incremental imports.

But we don't want to lose the old marks table if anything goes wrong
while writing our current marks table.  So instead of truncating and
overwriting the path specified to --export-marks we use the standard
lockfile code to write the current marks out to a temporary file,
then rename it over the old marks table.

I'm about to teach fast-import how to reload the marks file created
by a prior session.  The general approach that I want to use is to
immediately parse the marks file when the specific argument is found
in argv, thereby allowing the caller to supply multiple marks files,
as the mark space can be sparsely populated.

To make that work out we need to allocate our object tables before
we parse the command line options.  Since none of these tables
depend on the command line options, we can easily relocate them.
