clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers

Many code paths will free a tree object's buffer and set it
to NULL after finishing with it in order to keep memory
usage down during a traversal. However, out of 8 sites that
do this, only one actually unsets the "parsed" flag back.
Those sites that don't are setting a trap for later users of
the tree object; even after calling parse_tree, the buffer
will remain NULL, causing potential segfaults.

It is not known whether this is triggerable in the current
code. Most commands do not do an in-memory traversal
followed by actually using the objects again. However, it
does not hurt to be safe for future callers.

In most cases, we can abstract this out to a
"free_tree_buffer" helper. However, there are two
exceptions:

  1. The fsck code relies on the parsed flag to know that we
     were able to parse the object at one point. We can
     switch this to using a flag in the "flags" field.

  2. The index-pack code sets the buffer to NULL but does
     not free it (it is freed by a caller). We should still
     unset the parsed flag here, but we cannot use our
     helper, as we do not want to free the buffer.

test-sha1: add a binary output mode

The test-sha1 helper program will run our internal sha1
routines over its input and output the 40-byte hex sha1.
Sometimes, however, it is useful to have the binary 20-byte
sha1 (and it's a pain to convert back in the shell). Let's
add a "-b" option to output the binary version.

commit: search author pattern against mailmap

"git commit --author=$name" sets the author to one whose name
matches the given string from existing commits, when $name is not in
the "Name <e-mail>" format. However, it does not honor the mailmap
to use the canonical name for the author found this way.

Fix it by telling the logic to find a matching existing author to
honor the mailmap, and use the name and email after applying the
mailmap.

sha1-lookup: handle duplicate keys with GIT_USE_LOOKUP

The sha1_entry_pos function tries to be smart about
selecting the middle of a range for its binary search by
looking at the value differences between the "lo" and "hi"
constraints. However, it is unable to cope with entries with
duplicate keys in the sorted list.

We may hit a point in the search where both our "lo" and
"hi" point to the same key. In this case, the range of
values between our endpoints is 0, and trying to scale the
difference between our key and the endpoints over that range
is undefined (i.e., divide by zero). The current code
catches this with an "assert(lov < hiv)".

Moreover, after seeing that the first 20 byte of the key are
the same, we will try to establish a value from the 21st
byte. Which is nonsensical.

Instead, we can detect the case that we are in a run of
duplicates, and simply do a final comparison against any one
of them (since they are all the same, it does not matter
which). If the keys match, we have found our entry (or one
of them, anyway).  If not, then we know that we do not need
to look further, as we must be in a run of the duplicate
key.

add tests for indexing packs with delta cycles

If we receive a broken or malicious pack from a remote, we
will feed it to index-pack. As index-pack processes the
objects as a stream, reconstructing and hashing each object
to get its name, it is not very susceptible to doing the
wrong with bad data (it simply notices that the data is
bogus and aborts).

However, one question raised on the list is whether it could
be susceptible to problems during the delta-resolution
phase. In particular, can a cycle in the packfile deltas
cause us to go into an infinite loop or cause any other
problem?

The answer is no.

We cannot have a cycle of delta-base offsets, because they
go only in one direction (the OFS_DELTA object mentions its
base by an offset towards the beginning of the file, and we
explicitly reject negative offsets).

We can have a cycle of REF_DELTA objects, which refer to
base objects by sha1 name. However, index-pack does not know
these sha1 names ahead of time; it has to reconstruct the
objects to get their names, and it cannot do so if there is
a delta cycle (in other words, it does not even realize
there is a cycle, but only that there are items that cannot
be resolved).

Even though we can reason out that index-pack should handle
this fine, let's add a few tests to make sure it behaves
correctly.

test index-pack on packs with recoverable delta cycles

The previous commit added tests to show that index-pack
correctly bails in unrecoverable situations. There are some
situations where the data could be recovered, but it is not
currently:

  1. If we can break the cycle using an object from another
     pack via --fix-thin.

  2. If we can break the cycle using a duplicate of one of
     the objects found in the same pack.

Note that neither of these is particularly high priority; a
delta cycle within a pack should never occur, and we have no
record of even a buggy git implementation creating such a
pack.

However, it's worth adding these tests for two reasons. One,
to document that we do not currently handle the situation,
even though it is possible. And two, to exercise the code
that runs in this situation; even though it fails, by
running it we can confirm that index-pack detects the
situation and aborts, and does not misbehave (e.g., by
following the cycle in an infinite loop).

In both cases, we hit an assert that aborts index-pack.

add -i test: use skip_all instead of repeated PERL prerequisite

It is too easy to forget to add the PERL prerequisite for new
"add -i" tests, especially given that many people do not test with
NO_PERL so the missing prereq is not always noticed quickly.

The test had used the skip_all mechanism since 1b19ccd2 (2009-04-03)
but switched to explicit PERL prereqs in f0459319 (2010-10-13) in hope
of helping people see how many tests were skipped, perhaps to motivate
them to tweak their platform or tests to improve test coverage.  That
didn't pan out much in practice, so let's move back to the simpler
skip_all method.

upload-pack: delegate rev walking in shallow fetch to pack-objects

upload-pack has a special revision walking code for shallow
recipients. It works almost like the similar code in pack-objects
except:

1. in upload-pack, graft points could be added for deepening;

2. also when the repository is deepened, the shallow point will be
   moved further away from the tip, but the old shallow point will be
   marked as edge to produce more efficient packs. See 6523078 (make
   shallow repository deepening more network efficient - 2009-09-03).

Pass the file to pack-objects via --shallow-file. This will override
$GIT_DIR/shallow and give pack-objects the exact repository shape
that upload-pack has.

mark edge commits by revision command arguments. Even if old shallow
points are passed as "--not" revisions as in this patch, they will not
be picked up by mark_edges_uninteresting() because this function looks
up to parents for edges, while in this case the edge is the children,
in the opposite direction. This will be fixed in an later patch when
all given uninteresting commits are marked as edges.

list-objects: mark more commits as edges in mark_edges_uninteresting

The purpose of edge commits is to let pack-objects know what objects
it can use as base, but does not need to include in the thin pack
because the other side is supposed to already have them. So far we
mark uninteresting parents of interesting commits as edges. But even
an unrelated uninteresting commit (that the other side has) may
become a good base for pack-objects and help produce more efficient
packs.

This is especially true for shallow clone, when the client issues a
fetch with a depth smaller or equal to the number of commits the
server is ahead of the client. For example, in this commit history
the client has up to "A" and the server has up to "B":

    -------A---B
     have--^   ^
              /
       want--+

If depth 1 is requested, the commit list to send to the client
includes only B. The way m_e_u is working, it checks if parent
commits of B are uninteresting, if so mark them as edges.  Due to
shallow effect, commit B is grafted to have no parents and the
revision walker never sees A as the parent of B. In fact it marks no
edges at all in this simple case and sends everything B has to the
client even if it could have excluded what A and also the client
already have.

In a slightly different case where A is not a direct parent of B
(iow there are commits in between A and B), marking A as an edge can
still save some because B may still have stuff from the far ancestor
A.

There is another case from the earlier patch, when we deepen a ref
from C->E to A->E:

    ---A---B   C---D---E
     want--^   ^       ^
       shallow-+      /
          have-------+

In this case we need to send A and B to the client, and C (i.e. the
current shallow point that the client informs the server) is a very
good base because it's closet to A and B. Normal m_e_u won't recognize
C as an edge because it only looks back to parents (i.e. A<-B) not the
opposite way B->C even if C is already marked as uninteresting commit
by the previous patch.

This patch includes all uninteresting commits from command line as
edges and lets pack-objects decide what's best to do. The upside is we
have better chance of producing better packs in certain cases. The
downside is we may need to process some extra objects on the server
side.

For the shallow case on git.git, when the client is 5 commits behind
and does "fetch --depth=3", the result pack is 99.26 KiB instead of
4.92 MiB.
