* pb/repo:
  Add support for explicit type specifiers when calling git-repo-config

* jc/fixdiff:
  diff-tree: do not default to -c

This is to be nicer to people with unusable GECOS field.

"git-var -l" is currently broken in that when used by a user who
does not have a usable GECOS field and has not corrected it by
exporting GIT_COMMITTER_NAME environment variable it dies when
it tries to output GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT (same thing for AUTHOR).

"git-pull" used "git-var -l" only because it needed to get a
configuration variable before "git-repo-config --get" was
introduced.  Use the latter tool designed exactly for this
purpose.

"git-sh-setup" used "git-var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT" without actually
wanting to use its value.  The only purpose was to cause the
command to check and barf if the repository format version
recorded in the $GIT_DIR/config file is too new for us to deal
with correctly.  Instead, use "repo-config --get" on a random
property and see if it die()s, and check if the exit status is
128 (comes from die -- missing variable is reported with exit
status 1, so we can tell that case apart).

Currently, git-repo-config will just return the raw value of option
as specified in the config file; this makes things difficult for scripts
calling it, especially if the value is supposed to be boolean.

This patch makes it possible to ask git-repo-config to check if the option
is of the given type (int or bool) and write out the value in its
canonical form. If you do not pass --int or --bool, the behaviour stays
unchanged and the raw value is emitted.

This also incidentally fixes the segfault when option with no value is
encountered.

[jc: tweaked the option parsing a bit to make it easier to see
 that the patch does not change anything but the type stuff in
 the diff output.  Also changed to avoid "foo ? : bar" construct. ]

Marco says it breaks qgit.  This makes the flags a bit more
orthogonal.

  $ git-diff-tree -r --abbrev ca18

    No output from this command because you asked to skip merge by
    not having -m there.

  $ git-diff-tree -r -m --abbrev ca18

    The same "independent sets of diff" as before without -c.

  $ git-diff-tree -r -m -c --abbrev ca18
  ca182053
  ::100644 100644 100644 538d21d... 30479b4... 59042d1... MM	Makefile

  $ git-diff-tree -r -c --abbrev ca18

    Asking for combined without -m does not make sense, so -c
    implies -m.

We need to supply -c as default to whatchanged, which is a
one-liner.

Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

We shouldn't fail a fetch just because a signal might have interrupted
the read.

Normally, we don't install any signal handlers, so EINTR really shouldn't
happen. That said, really old versions of Linux will interrupt an
interruptible system call even for signals that turn out to be ignored
(SIGWINCH is the classic example - resizing your xterm would cause it).
The same might well be true elsewhere too.

Also, since receive_keep_pack() doesn't control the caller, it can't know
that no signal handlers exist.

It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.

Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).

So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:

	[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
	Packing 188543 objects
	  48.398MB  (154 kB/s)

where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").

Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is  big step forward, I think.

When we prettyprint commit log messages, merge parent names were
often very long and there was no way to abbreviate it.

This changes them to be abbreviated by default, and non-default
abbreviations can be specified with --no-abbrev or --abbrev=<n>
options.

Note that this affects only the prettyprinted parent names.  The
output from --show-parents is meant for machine consumption and
is not affected by this flag.

This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX"

The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by
showing diff status letters with each parent.  While most of the

touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is
possible and it would be shown like these:

This revamps the git-status command to take the same set of
parameters as git commit.  It gives a preview of what is being
committed with that command.  With -v flag, it shows the diff
output between the HEAD commit and the index that would be
committed if these flags were given to git-commit command.

git-commit also acquires -v flag (it used to mean "verify" but
that is the default anyway and there is --no-verify to turn it
off, so not much is lost), which uses the updated git-status -v
to seed the commit log buffer.  This is handy for writing a log
message while reviewing the changes one last time.

Now, git-commit and git-status are internally share the same
implementation.

Unlike previous git-commit change, this uses a temporary index
to prepare the index file that would become the real index file
after a successful commit, and moves it to the real index file
once the commit is actually made.  This makes it safer than the
previous scheme, which stashed away the original index file and
restored it after an aborted commit.

After experimenting with code to add the ability to encode a delta
against part of the deltified file, it turns out that resulting packs
are _bigger_ than when this ability is not used.  The raw delta output
might be smaller, but it doesn't compress as well using gzip with a
negative net saving on average.

Said bit would in fact be more useful to allow for encoding the copying
of chunks larger than 64KB providing more savings with large files.
This will correspond to packs version 3.

While the current code still produces packs version 2, it is made future
proof so pack versions 2 and 3 are accepted.  Any pack version 2 are
compatible with version 3 since the redefined bit was never used before.
When enough time has passed, code to use that bit to produce version 3
packs could be added.

Use stat() to explicitly check for existence rather than
relying on the non-portable EEXIST error in sha1_file.c's
safe_create_leading_directories().  There certainly are
optimizations possible, but then the code becomes almost
the same as that in coreutil's lib/mkdir-p.c.

Other uses of EEXIST seem ok.  Tested on Solaris 8, AIX 5.2L,
and a few Linux versions.  AIX has some unrelated (I think)
failures right now; I haven't tried many recent gits there.

This way, diff-files can make use of it.  Also implement the
full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for
consistency.  With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would
show what is expected.

There is no way to get the historical output (useful for
debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively
it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs
with parents".

diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c.  For
textual combined diff, use -p -c.

NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges 
are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics.

I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't 
actually do that.

The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable 
from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just 
one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons 
for <n> parents.

So now, in the kernel, when you do

	git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd

(to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you 
get

	cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
	::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287       arch/arm/Kconfig

ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes 
followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by
result sha1).

Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output.

Cool/stupid exercise:

	$ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort |
	  uniq -c | sort -n | less -S

will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict
resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.
