The base target directory for the templates copying was initialized
to git_dir, but git_dir[len] is not zero but / at the time we do the
initialization. This is not what we want for our target directory string
since we pass it to mkdir(), so make it zero-terminated manually.

This fixes everybodys favourite complaint about "git add", namely that it
doesn't take directories.
We use "git-ls-files --others" to generate an arbitrary list of filenames,
and thus also automatically honor ignore-files while we're at it.
Side note: there's a lot of room for improvement here. In particular, if
we have a long list of filenames (importing a big archive), this will just
do a big stupid for-loop and add them one at a time. Maybe it should use
generate-list | xargs -0 git-update-idex --add --
instead.
Also, I think we should have a default ignore list if we don't find a
.git/info/exclude file. Ignoring "*.o" and ".*" by default would probably
be the right thing to do.
But I think this is a good first step.
Use the "-n" flag to just show the list of files to be added without
adding them.

The recent safety check to trust only the commits we have made
things impossibly slow and turn out to waste a lot of memory.
This commit fixes it with the following improvements:
- mark already scanned objects and avoid rescanning the same
object again;
- free the tree entries when we have scanned the tree entries;
this is the same as b0d8923ec0
which reduced memory usage by rev-list;
- plug memory leak from the object_list dequeuing code;
- use the process_queue not just for fetching but for scanning,
to make things tail recursive to avoid deep recursion; the
deep recursion was especially prominent when we cloned a big
pack.
- avoid has_sha1_file() call when we already know we do not have
that object.

For local operations and downloading and uploading via git aware protocols,
use of $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates is recommended on the server
side for big projects that are derived from another one (like Linux kernel).
However, dumb protocols and rsync transport needs to resolve this on the
client end, which we did not bother doing until this week.
I noticed we use "rsync -z" but most of our payload is already compressed,
which was not quite right. This commit also fixes it.

The object parsing code builds a generic "this object references that
object" because doing a full connectivity check for fsck requires it.
However, nothing else really needs it, and it's quite expensive for
git-rev-list that can have tons of objects in flight.
So, exactly like the commit buffer save thing, add a global flag to
disable it, and use it in git-rev-list.

and note how the number of pages touched by git-rev-list for this
particular object list has shrunk from 26,718 (104 MB) to 18,509 (72 MB).
Calculating the total object difference between two git revisions is still
clearly the most expensive git operation (both in memory and CPU time),
but it's now less than 40% of what it used to be.

This avoids keeping tree entries around, and free's them as it traverses
the list. This avoids building up a huge memory footprint just for these
small but very common allocations.

Note how the minor fault numbers - which ends up being how many pages we
needed to map - go down from 42934 (167 MB) to 26718 (104 MB). That is:
Before:
42934 minor pagefaults
After:
26718 minor pagefaults
This is all in _addition_ to the previous fixes. It used to be
~48,000 pagefaults.
That's still a honking big memory footprint, but it's about half of what
it was just a day or two ago (and this is the object list for a pretty big
update - almost 60,000 objects. Smaller updates need less memory).

The logic to calculate the full object list used to be very inter-twined
with the logic that looked up the commits.
For no good reason - it's actually a lot simpler to just do that logic
as a separate pass.
This improves performance a bit, and uses slightly less memory in my
tests, but more importantly it makes the code simpler to work with and
follow what it does.
The performance win is less than I had hoped for, but I get:

ie it improved by 2 seconds, and took a 5000+ fewer pages (hey, that's
20MB out of 174MB to go). And got the same number of objects (in theory,
the more expensive one might find some more shared objects to avoid. In
practice it obviously doesn't).
I know how to make it use _lots_ less memory, which will probably speed it
up. But that's for another time, and I'd prefer to see this go in first.

As pointed out on the list, git-rev-list can use a lot of memory.
One low-hanging fruit is to free the commit buffer for commits that we
parse. By default, parse_commit() will save away the buffer, since a lot
of cases do want it, and re-reading it continually would be unnecessary.
However, in many cases the buffer isn't actually necessary and saving it
just wastes memory.
We could just free the buffer ourselves, but especially in git-rev-list,
we actually end up using the helper functions that automatically add
parent commits to the commit lists, so we don't actually control the
commit parsing directly.
Instead, just make this behaviour of "parse_commit()" a global flag.
Maybe this is a bit tasteless, but it's very simple, and it makes a
noticable difference in memory usage.

note how the minor faults have decreased from 3714 pages to 2433 pages.

git-fetch-pack pair over ssh anyway), and (2) HPA is one of the more
important customers belonging to the Linux kernel community and I
want to help his workflow -- which includes not wasting his time by
asking him to switch to git-send-pack/git-fetch-pack pair, nor to use
