Actually, there is another bug nearby.
If you do:
git bundle create v2.6-20-v2.6.22.bndl v2.6.20..v2.6.22
the bundle records that it requires v2.6.20^0 commit (correct)
and gives you tag v2.6.22 (incorrect); the bug is that the
object it lists in fact is the commit v2.6.22^0, not the tag.
This is because the revision range operation .. is always about
set of commits, but the code near where my patch touches does
not validate that the sha1 value obtained from dwim_ref()
against the commit object name e->item->sha1 before placing the
head information in the commit.
The attached patch attempts to fix this problem.

While "git bundle" was a useful way to sneakernet incremental
changes, we did not allow:
$ git bundle create v2.6.20.bndl v2.6.20
to create a bundle that contains the whole history to a
well-known good revision. Such a bundle can be mirrored
everywhere, and people can prime their repository with it to
reduce the load on the repository that serves near the tip of
the development.

This trivially optimizes the two-way merge case of git-read-tree too,
which affects switching branches.
When you have tons and tons of files in your repository, but there are
only small differences in the branches (maybe just a couple of files
changed), the biggest cost of the branch switching was actually just the
index calculations.
This fixes it (timings for switching between the "testing" and "master"
branches in the 100,000 file testing-repo-from-hell, where the branches
only differ in one small file).
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout master
real 0m9.919s
user 0m8.461s
sys 0m0.264s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git checkout testing
real 0m0.576s
user 0m0.348s
sys 0m0.228s
so it's easily an order of magnitude different.
This concludes the series. I think we could/should do the three-way merge
too (to speed up merges), but I'm lazy. Somebody else can do it.
The rule is very simple: you need to remove the old entry if:
- you want to remove the file entirely
- you replace it with a "merge conflict" entry (ie a non-stage-0 entry)
and you can avoid removing it if you either
- keep the old one
- or resolve it to a new one.
and these rules should all be valid for the three-way case too.

This optimizes bind_merge() and oneway_merge() to not unnecessarily
remove and re-add the old index entries when they can just get replaced
by updated ones.
This makes these operations much faster for large trees (where "large"
is in the 50,000+ file range), because we don't unnecessarily move index
entries around in the index array all the time.
Using the "bummer" tree (a test-tree with 100,000 files) we get:
Before:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500
real 0m9.470s
user 0m8.729s
sys 0m0.476s
After:
[torvalds@woody bummer]$ time git commit -m"Change one file" 50/500
real 0m1.173s
user 0m0.720s

so for large trees this is easily very noticeable indeed.

This trivial patch avoids re-hashing files that are already clean in the
index. This mirrors what commit 0781b8a9b2
did for "git add .", only for "git commit ." instead.
This improves the cold-cache case immensely, since we don't need to bring
in all the file contents, just the index and any files dirty in the index.

(both after doing a "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" to get cold-cache
behaviour - even with the index optimization git still has to "lstat()"
all the files, so with a truly cold cache, bringing all the inodes in
will take some time).

The read_tree() function is called only from the call chain to
run "git diff --cached" (this includes the internal call made by
git-runstatus to run_diff_index()). The function vacates stage
without any funky "merge" magic. The caller then goes and
compares stage #1 entries from the tree with stage #0 entries
from the original index.
When adding the cache entries this way, it used the general
purpose add_cache_entry(). This function looks for an existing
entry to replace or if there is none to find where to insert the
new entry, resolves D/F conflict and all the other things.
For the purpose of reading entries into an empty stage, none of
that processing is needed. We can instead append everything and
then sort the result at the end.
This commit changes read_tree() to first make sure that there is
no existing cache entries at specified stage, and if that is the
case, it runs add_cache_entry() with ADD_CACHE_JUST_APPEND flag
(new), and then sort the resulting cache using qsort().
This new flag tells add_cache_entry() to omit all the checks
such as "Does this path already exist? Does adding this path
remove other existing entries because it turns a directory to a
file?" and instead append the given cache entry straight at the
end of the active cache. The caller of course is expected to
sort the resulting cache at the end before using the result.

This doesn't actually change any real code, but it changes the interface
to unpack_trees() to take an array of "struct tree_desc" entries, the same
way the tree-walk.c functions do.
The reason for this is that we would be much better off if we can do the
tree-unpacking using the generic "traverse_trees()" functionality instead
of having to the special "unpack" infrastructure.
This really is a pretty minimal diff, just to change the calling
convention. It passes all the tests, and looks sane. There were only two
users of "unpack_trees()": builtin-read-tree and merge-recursive, and I
tried to keep the changes minimal.

We have to load a tree difference for the purpose of testing
file patterns. But if our branch is being created and there is no
specific base to difference against in the rule our base will be
'0'x40. This is (usually) not a valid tree-ish object in a Git
repository, so there's nothing to difference against.
Instead of creating the empty tree and running git-diff against
that we just take the output of `ls-tree -r --name-only` and mark
every returned pathname as an add.

In some applications of the update hook a user may be allowed to
modify a branch, but only if the file level difference is also an
allowed change. This is the commonly requested feature of allowing
users to modify only certain files.
A new repository.*.allow syntax permits granting the three basic
file level operations:
A: file is added relative to the other tree
M: file exists in both trees, but its SHA-1 or mode differs
D: file is removed relative to the other tree
on a per-branch and path-name basis. The user must also have a
branch level allow line already granting them access to create,
rewind or update (CRU) that branch before the hook will consult
any file level rules.
In order for a branch change to succeed _all_ files that differ
relative to some base (by default the old value of this branch,
but it can also be any valid tree-ish) must be allowed by file
level allow rules. A push is rejected if any diff exists that
is not covered by at least one allow rule.

In some applications of this paranoid update hook the set of ACL
rules that need to be applied to a user can be large, and the
number of users that those rules must also be applied to can be
more than a handful of individuals. Rather than repeating the same
rules multiple times (once for each user) we now allow users to be
members of groups, where the group supplies the list of ACL rules.
For various reasons we don't depend on the underlying OS groups
and instead perform our own group handling.
Users can be made a member of one or more groups by setting the
user.memberOf property within the "users/$who.acl" file:
[user]
memberOf = developer
memberOf = administrator
This will cause the hook to also parse the "groups/$groupname.acl"
file for each value of user.memberOf, and merge any allow rules
that match the current repository with the user's own private rules
(if they had any).
Since some rules are basically the same but may have a component
differ based on the individual user, any user.* key may be inserted
into a rule using the "${user.foo}" syntax. The allow rule does
not match if the user does not define one (and exactly one) value
for the key "foo".

It was very unfortunate that we added core.pager setting to the
configuration file; even when the underlying command does not care
if there is no git repository is involved (think "git diff --no-index"),
the user would now rightfully want the configuration setting to be
honored, which means we would need to read the configuration file before
we launch the pager.
This is a minimum change in the sense that it restores the old
behaviour of not even reading config in setup_git_directory(),
but have the core.pager honored when we know it matters.
Note that this does not cover "git -p --git-dir where command";
the -p option immediately trigger the pager settings before we
even see --git-dir to learn where the configuration file is, so
we will end up reading the configuration from the place where
we would _normally_ find the git repository.

We run lstat("foo/bar") to check that. If it does not succeed,

Sven originally raised this issue:
If you have a submodule checked out and you go back (or
forward) to a revision of the supermodule that contains a
different revision of the submodule and then switch to
another revision, it will complain that the submodule is not
uptodate, because git simply didn't update the submodule in
the first move.
The current policy is to consider it is perfectly normal that
checked-out submodule is out-of-sync wrt the supermodule index.
At least until we introduce a superproject repository
configuration option that says "in this repository, I do care
about this submodule and at any time I move around in the
superproject, recursively check out the submodule to match", it
is a reasonable policy, as we currently do not recursively
checkout the submodules at all. The most extreme case of this
policy is that the superproject index knows about the submodule
but the subdirectory does not even have to be checked out.
The function verify_uptodate(), called during the two-way merge
aka branch switching, is about "make sure the filesystem entity
that corresponds to this cache entry is up to date, lest we lose
the local modifications". As we explicitly allow submodule
checkout to drift from the supermodule index entry, the check
should say "Ok, for submodules, not matching is the norm" for
now.
Later when we have the ability to mark "I care about this
submodule to be always in sync with the superproject" (thereby
implementing automatic recursive checkout and perhaps diff,
among other things), we should check if the submodule in
question is marked as such and perform the current test.
