fix http auth with multiple curl handles

HTTP authentication is currently handled by get_refs and fetch_ref, but
not by fetch_object, fetch_pack or fetch_alternates. In the
single-threaded case, this is not an issue, since get_refs is always
called first. It recognigzes the 401 and prompts the user for
credentials, which will then be used subsequently.

If the curl multi interface is used, however, only the multi handle used
by get_refs will have credentials configured. Requests made by other
handles fail with an authentication error.

Fix this by setting CURLOPT_USERPWD whenever a slot is requested.

gc: do not explode objects which will be immediately pruned

When we pack everything into one big pack with "git repack
-Ad", any unreferenced objects in to-be-deleted packs are
exploded into loose objects, with the intent that they will
be examined and possibly cleaned up by the next run of "git
prune".

Since the exploded objects will receive the mtime of the
pack from which they come, if the source pack is old, those
loose objects will end up pruned immediately. In that case,
it is much more efficient to skip the exploding step
entirely for these objects.

This patch teaches pack-objects to receive the expiration
information and avoid writing these objects out. It also
teaches "git gc" to pass the value of gc.pruneexpire to
repack (which in turn learns to pass it along to
pack-objects) so that this optimization happens
automatically during "git gc" and "git gc --auto".

http: clean up leak in init_curl_http_auth

When we have a credential to give to curl, we must copy it
into a "user:pass" buffer and then hand the buffer to curl.
Old versions of curl did not copy the buffer, and we were
expected to keep it valid. Newer versions of curl will copy
the buffer.

Our solution was to use a strbuf and detach it, giving
ownership of the resulting buffer to curl. However, this
meant that we were leaking the buffer on newer versions of
curl, since curl was just copying it and throwing away the
string we passed. Furthermore, when we replaced a
credential (e.g., because our original one was rejected), we
were also leaking on both old and new versions of curl.

This got even worse in the last patch, which started
replacing the credential (and thus leaking) on every http
request.

Instead, let's use a static buffer to make the ownership
more clear and less leaky.  We already keep a static "struct
credential", so we are only handling a single credential at
a time, anyway.

http: use newer curl options for setting credentials

We give the username and password to curl by sticking them
in a buffer of the form "user:pass" and handing the result
to CURLOPT_USERPWD. Since curl 7.19.1, there is a split
mechanism, where you can specify each element individually.

This has the advantage that a username can contain a ":"
character. It also is less code for us, since we can hand
our strings over to curl directly. And since curl 7.17.0 and
higher promise to copy the strings for us, we we don't even
have to worry about memory ownership issues.

Unfortunately, we have to keep the ugly code for old curl
around, but as it is now nicely #if'd out, we can easily get
rid of it when we decide that 7.19.1 is "old enough".

properly keep track of current working directory

Various failure modes in the repository detection code path currently
quote the wrong directory in their error message. The working directory
is changed iteratively to the parent directory until a git repository is
found. If the working directory cannot be changed to the parent
directory for some reason, the detection gives up and prints an error
message. The error message should report the current working directory.

Instead of continually updating the 'cwd' variable, which is actually
used to remember the original working directory, the 'offset' variable
is used to keep track of the current working directory. At the point
where the affected error handling code is called, 'offset' already
points to the end of the parent of the working directory, rather than
the current working directory.

Fix this by explicitly using a variable 'offset_parent' and update
'offset' concurrently with the call to chdir.

In a similar fashion, the function get_device_or_die() would print the
original working directory in case of a failure, rather than the current
working directory. Fix this as well by making use of the 'offset'
variable.

Lastly, replace the phrase 'mount parent' with 'mount point'. The former
appears to be a typo.

cherry-pick: do not expect file arguments

If a commit-ish passed to cherry-pick or revert happens to have a file
of the same name, git complains that the argument is ambiguous and
advises to use '--'. To make things worse, the '--' argument is removed
by parse_options, und so passing '--' has no effect.

Instead, always interpret cherry-pick/revert arguments as revisions.

merge tests: octopus with redundant parents

This happens when git merge is run to merge multiple commits that are
descendants of current HEAD (or are HEAD).  We've hit this while updating
master to origin/master but accidentaly we called (while being on master):

	$ git merge master origin/master

Here is a minimal testcase:

	$ git init a && cd a
	$ echo a >a && git add a
	$ git commit -minitial
	$ echo b >a && git add a
	$ git commit -msecond
	$ git checkout master^

	$ git merge master master
	Fast-forwarding to: master
	Already up-to-date with master
	Merge made by the 'octopus' strategy.
	 a |    2 +-
	  1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

	$ git cat-file commit HEAD
	tree eebfed94e75e7760540d1485c740902590a00332

builtin/merge.c: reduce parents early

Instead of waiting until we record the parents of resulting merge, reduce
redundant parents (including our HEAD) immediately after reading them.

The change to t7602 illustrates the essence of the effect of this change.
The octopus merge strategy used to be fed with redundant commits only to
discard them as "up-to-date", but we no longer feed such redundant commits
to it and the affected test degenerates to a regular two-head merge.

And obviously the known-to-be-broken test in t6028 is now fixed.

argv-array: refactor empty_argv initialization

An empty argv-array is initialized to point to a static
empty NULL-terminated array.  The original implementation
separates the actual storage of the NULL-terminator from the
pointer to the list.  This makes the exposed type a "const
char **", which nicely matches the type stored by the
argv-array.

However, this indirection means that one cannot use
empty_argv to initialize a static variable, since it is
not a constant.

Instead, we can expose empty_argv directly, as an array of
pointers. The only place we use it is in the ARGV_ARRAY_INIT
initializer, and it decays to a pointer appropriately there.

gc: use argv-array for sub-commands

git-gc executes many sub-commands. The argument list for
some of these is constant, but for others we add more
arguments at runtime. The latter is implemented by allocating
a constant extra number of NULLs, and either using a custom
append function, or just referencing unused slots by number.

As of commit 7e52f56, which added two new arguments, it is
possible to exceed the constant number of slots for "repack"
by running "git gc --aggressive", causing "git gc" to die.

This patch converts all of the static argv lists to use
argv-array. In addition to fixing the overflow caused by
7e52f56, it has a few advantages:

  1. We can drop the custom append function (which,
     incidentally, had an off-by-one error exacerbating the
     static limit).

  2. We can drop the ugly magic numbers used when adding
     arguments to "prune".

  3. Adding further arguments will be easier; you can just
     add new "push" calls without worrying about increasing
     any static limits.

t9300-fast-import: avoid 'exit' in test_expect_success snippets

Exiting from a for-loop early using '|| break' does not propagate the
failure code, and for this reason, the tests used just 'exit'. But this
ends the test script with 'FATAL: Unexpected exit code 1' in the case of
a failed test.

Fix this by moving the loop into a shell function, from which we can
simply return early.

While at it, modernize the style of the affected test cases.

git-remote-testgit: fix race when spawning fast-import

Test "pushing to local repo" in t5800-remote-helpers can hang
due to a race condition in git-remote-testgit.  Fix it by
setting stdin to unbuffered.

On the writer side, "git push" invokes push_refs_with_export(),
which sends to stdout the command "export\n" and immediately
starts up "git fast-export".  The latter writes its output stream
to the same stdout.

On the reader side, remote helper "git-remote-testgit" reads from
stdin to get its next command.  It uses getc() to read characters
from libc up until \n.  Libc has buffered a potentially much
larger chunk of stdin.  When it sees the "export\n" command, it
forks "git fast-import" to read the stream.

If fast-export finishes before git fast-import starts, the
fast-export output can end up in libc's buffer in
git-remote-testgit, rather than in git fast-import.  The latter
hangs indefinitely on a now-empty stdin.
