vcs-svn: rename check_overflow and its arguments for clarity

The canonical interpretation of a range a,b is as an interval [a,b),
not [a,a+b), so this function taking argument names a and b feels
unnatural.  Use more explicit names "offset" and "len" to make the
arguments' type and function clearer.

While at it, rename the function to convey that we are making sure
the sum of this offset and length do not overflow an off_t, not a
size_t.

[jn: split out from a patch from Ramsay Jones, then improved with
 advice from Thomas Rast, Dmitry Ivankov, and David Barr]

vcs-svn: allow import of > 4GiB files

There is no reason in principle that an svn-format dump would not
be able to represent a file whose length does not fit in a 32-bit
integer.  Use off_t consistently (instead of uint32_t) to represent
file lengths so we can handle that.

Most of our code is already ready to do that without this patch and
already passes values of type off_t around.  The type mismatch due to
stragglers was noticed with gcc -Wtype-limits.

vcs-svn: suppress -Wtype-limits warning

On 32-bit architectures with 64-bit file offsets, gcc 4.3 and earlier
produce the following warning:

	    CC vcs-svn/sliding_window.o
	vcs-svn/sliding_window.c: In function `check_overflow':
	vcs-svn/sliding_window.c:36: warning: comparison is always false \
	    due to limited range of data type

The warning appears even when gcc is run without any warning flags
(PR12963).  In later versions it can be reproduced with -Wtype-limits,
which is implied by -Wextra.

On 64-bit architectures it really is possible for a size_t not to be
representable as an off_t so the check being warned about is not
actually redundant.  But even false positives are distracting.  Avoid
the warning by making the "len" argument to check_overflow a
uintmax_t; no functional change intended.

t: Replace 'perl' by $PERL_PATH

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.

This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.

This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

Demonstrate git-show is broken with ranges

The logic of git-show has remained largely unchanged since around
5d7eeee (git-show: grok blobs, trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14): start
a revision walker with no_walk=1, look at its pending objects and
handle them one-by-one.  For commits, this means stuffing them into a
new queue all alone, and running the walker.

Then Linus's f222abd (Make 'git show' more useful, 2009-07-13) came
along and set no_walk=0 whenever the user specifies a range.  Which
appears to work fine, until you actually prod it hard enough, as the
preceding commit shows: UNINTERESTING commits will be marked as such,
but not walked further to propagate the marks.

Demonstrate this with the main tests of this patch: 'showing a range
walks (Y shape)'.  The Y shape of history ensures that propagating the
UNINTERESTING marks is necessary to correctly exclude the main1
commit.  The only example I could find actually requires that the
negative revisions are listed later, and in this scenario a dotted
range actually works.  However, it is easy to find examples in git.git
where a dotted range is wrong, e.g.

  $ git show v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | grep ^commit | wc -l
  1297
  $ git rev-list v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | wc -l
  702

While there, also test a few other things that are not covered so far:
the -N way of triggering a range (added in 5853cae, DWIM 'git show -5'
to 'git show --do-walk -5', 2010-06-01), and the interactions of tags,
commits and ranges.

Makefile: fold MISC_H into LIB_H

We keep a list of most of the header files in LIB_H, but
some are split out into MISC_H. The original point
of LIB_H was that it would force recompilation of C files
when any of the library headers changed. It was
over-encompassing, since not all C files included all of the
library headers; this made it simple to maintain, but meant
that we sometimes recompiled when it was not necessary.

Over time, some new headers were omitted from LIB_H, and
rules were added to the Makefile for a few specific targets
to explicitly depend on them. This avoided some unnecessary
recompilation at the cost of having to maintain the
dependency list of those targets manually (e.g., d349a03).

Later, we needed a complete list of headers from which we
should extract strings to localized. Thus 1b8b2e4 introduced
MISC_H to mention all header files not included in LIB_H,
and the concatenation of the two lists is fed to xgettext.
Headers mentioned as dependencies must also be manually
added to MISC_H to receive the benefits of localization.

Having to update multiple locations manually is a pain and
has led to errors. For example, see "git log -Swt-status.h
Makefile" for some back-and-forth between the two locations.
Or the fact that column.h was never added to MISC_H, and
therefore was not localized (which is fixed by this patch).
Moreover, the benefits of keeping these few headers out of
LIB_H is not that great, for two reasons:

  1. The better way to do this is by auto-computing the
     dependencies, which is more accurate and less work to
     maintain. If your compiler supports it, we turn on
     computed header dependencies by default these days. So
     these manual dependencies are used only for people who
     do not have gcc at all (which increases the chance of
     them becoming stale, as many developers will never even
     use them).

  2. Even if you do not have gcc, the manual header
     dependencies do not help all that much.  They obviously
     cannot help with an initial compilation (since their
     purpose is to avoid unnecessary recompilation when a
     header changes), which means they are only useful when
     building a new version of git in the working tree that
     held an existing build (e.g., after checkout or during a
     bisection). But since a change of a header in LIB_H
     will force recompilation, and given that the vast
     majority of headers are in LIB_H, most version changes
     will result in a full rebuild anyway.

Let's just fold MISC_H into LIB_H and get rid of these
manual rules. The worst case is some extra compilation, but
even that is unlikely to matter due to the reasons above.

The one exception is that we should keep common-cmds.h
separate. Because it is generated, the computed dependencies
do not handle it properly, and we must keep separate
individual dependencies on it. Let's therefore rename MISC_H
to GENERATED_H to make it more clear what should go in it.

diff-no-index: exit(1) if 'diff --quiet <repo file> <external file>' finds changes

When running 'git diff --quiet <file1> <file2>', if file1 or file2
is outside the repository, it will exit(0) even if the files differ.
It should exit(1) when they differ.

This happens because 'diff_no_index' looks at the 'found_changes'
member from 'diff_options' to determine if changes were made.  This
is the wrong thing to do, since it is only set if xdiff is actually
run and it finds a change (the diff machinery will optimize out the
xdiff call when it is not necessary) and in that case HAS_CHANGED
flag needs to be taken into account.

Use diff_result_code() that knows all these details for the correct
exit value instead.

config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.

In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).

We do not write to this new location (yet).

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.

If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.

Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:

 1. to create such a file,

 2. and add configuration variable to point at it.

Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.

And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config).  The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriate

Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if

 - it already exists,
 - $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
 - The --global option is used.

Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.

If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.

If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.

Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.
