This originally came from Frank Sorenson, but with a bit of rework to
allow future enhancements without changing the external interface for
pack pruning part.

With the '-a' option, all objects in the current repository are packed
into a single pack.  When the '-d' option is given at the same time,
existing packs that were made redundant by this round of repacking are
deleted.

Since we currently have only two repacking strategies, one with '-a'
(everything into one) and the other without '-a' (incrementally pack
only the unpacked ones), the '-d' option is meaningful only when used
with '-a'; it removes the packs existed before we did the "everything
into one" repacking.  At least for now.

Earlier show-branch gave names only to commits reachable via first
parent ancestry chain.  Change the naming code to name everybody.

The original idea was to stop at the first merge point in the
topological order, and --more=<n> to show commits until we show <n>
more extra merge points.  However depending on the order of how we
discover the commits, it additionally showed parents of the <n>th
merge points, which was unnecessary.

This attempts to minimally cope with a subset of MIME "features" often
seen in patches sent to our mailing lists.  Namely:

 - People's name spelled in characters outside ASCII (both on From:
   header and the signed-off-by line).

 - Content-transfer-encoding using quoted-printable (both in
   multipart and non-multipart messages).

These MIME features are detected and decoded by "git mailinfo".

Optionally, with the '-u' flag, the output to .info and .msg is
transliterated from its original chaset to utf-8.  This is to
encourage people to use utf8 in their commit messages for
interoperability.

Applymbox accepts additional flag '-u' which is passed to mailinfo.

The reverse patch application using "git apply" sometimes is too
rigid.  Since the user would get used to resolving conflicting merges
by hand during the normal merge experience, using the same machinery
would be more helpful rather than just giving up.

Cherry-picking and reverting are essentially the same operation.
You pick one commit, and apply the difference that commit introduces
to its own commit ancestry chain to the current tree.  Revert applies
the diff in reverse while cherry-pick applies it forward.  They share
the same logic, just different messages and merge direction.

Rewrite "git rebase" using "git cherry-pick".

This reverts 6c5f9baa commit, whose
change breaks gcc-2.95.

Not that I ignore portability to compilers that are properly C99, but
keeping compilation with GCC working is more important, at least for
now.  We would probably end up declaring with "name[1]" and teach the
allocator to subtract one if we really aimed for portability, but that
is left for later rounds.

Inspired by a report by Kalle Valo, this changes git-sh-setup-script and
the "setup_git_directory()" function to test that $GIT_DIR/HEAD is a
symlink, since a number of core git features depend on that these days.

We used to allow a regular file there, but git-fsck-cache has been
complaining about that for a while, and anything that uses branches
depends on the HEAD file being a symlink, so let's just encode that as a
fundamental requirement.

Before, a non-symlink HEAD file would appear to work, but have subtle bugs
like not having the HEAD show up as a valid reference (because it wasn't
under "refs"). Now, we will complain loudly, and the user can fix it up
trivially instead of getting strange behaviour.

This also removes the tests for "$GIT_DIR" and "$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY"
being directories, since the other tests will implicitly test for that
anyway (ie the tests for HEAD, refs and 00 would fail).

When the "git pull" command updates the branch head you are
currently on, before doing anything else, first update your
index file and the working tree contents to that of the new
branch head.  Otherwise, the later resolving steps would think
your index file is attempting to revert the change between the
original head commit and the updated head commit.

It uses two-tree fast-forward form of "read-tree -m -u" to
prevent losing whatever local changes you may have in the
working tree to do this update.  I think this would at least
make things safer (a lot safer), and prevent mistakes.

Also "git fetch" command is forbidden from fetching and fast
forwarding the current branch head unless --update-head-ok flag
is given.  "git pull" passes the flag when it internally calls
"git fetch".
