Without NO_CURL=Y we require at least version "7.19.4" of libcurl, see
644de29e220 (http: drop support for curl < 7.19.4, 2021-07-30). Let's
document this in the "INSTALL" document.

In 1d53f90ed97 (The "curl" executable is no longer required,
2008-06-15) the wording for requiring curl(1) was changed to the
current "you might also want...".
Mentioning the "curl" executable at all is just confusing, someone
building git might want to use it to debug things, but they might also
just use wget(1) or some other http client. The "curl" executable has
the advantage that you might be able to e.g. reproduce a bug in git's
usage of libcurl with it, but anyone going to those extents is
unlikely to be aided by this note in INSTALL.

Commit 0b4396f068, (git-p4: make python2.7 the oldest supported version,
2019-12-13) pointed out that git-p4 uses Python 2.7-or-later features
in the code.
In addition, git-p4 gained enough support for Python 3 from
6cec21a82f, (git-p4: encode/decode communication with p4 for
python3, 2019-12-13).
Let's update our documentation to reflect that fact.

Several of the previous commits have been bumping the minimum supported
version of docbook-xsl and dropping various workarounds. Most recently,
we made the minimum be 1.73.0.
In INSTALL, we claim that with 1.73, one needs a certain patch in
contrib/patches/. There is no such patch. It was added in 2ec39edad9
("INSTALL: add warning on docbook-xsl 1.72 and 1.73", 2007-08-03) and
dropped in 9721ac9010 ("contrib: remove continuous/ and patches/",
2013-06-03).
Rather than resurrecting version 1.73 and the patch and testing them,
just raise our minimum supported docbook-xsl version to 1.74.

Drop the DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP mechanism, which needs to be used with
docbook-xsl versions 1.69.1 through 1.71.0.
We probably broke this for Asciidoctor builds in f6461b82b9
("Documentation: fix build with Asciidoctor 2", 2019-09-15). That is, we
should/could fix this similar to 55aca515eb ("manpage-bold-literal.xsl:
match for namespaced "d:literal" in template", 2019-10-31). But rather
than digging out such an old version of docbook-xsl to test that, let's
just use this as an excuse for dropping this decade-old workaround.
DOCBOOK_SUPPRESS_SP was not needed with docbook-xsl 1.69.0 and older.
Maybe such old versions still work fine on our docs, or maybe not. Let's
just refer to everything before 1.71.1 as "not supported". The next
commit will increase the required/assumed version further.

Before my 20d2a30f8f ("Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple
make rules", 2017-12-10) on an OS package that removed the
private-Error.pm copy we carried around manually removing the OS's
Error.pm would yield:
$ git add -p
Can't locate Error.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Error module) [...]
Now, before this change we'll instead emit this more cryptic error:
$ git add -p
BUG: '/usr/share/perl5/Git/FromCPAN' should be a directory! at /usr/share/perl5/Git/Error.pm line 36.
This is a confusing error. Now if the new NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS
option is specified and we can't find the module we'll instead emit:
$ /tmp/git/bin/git add -p
BUG: The 'Error' module is not here, but NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS was set!
[...]
Where [...] is the lengthy explanation seen in the change below, which
explains what the potential breakage is, and how to fix it.
The reason for checking @@NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS@@] against the empty
string in Perl is as opposed to checking for a boolean value is that
that's (as far as I can tell) make's idea of a string that's set, and
e.g. NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS=0 is enough to set NO_PERL_CPAN_FALLBACKS.

Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under
NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily
inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1].
The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it
was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit,
this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to
the master branch.
We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as
MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of
the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to
detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed
just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from
under us[6].
There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex
anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine
was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on
the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as
pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends.
So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of
how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1)
command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files
from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see
"perldoc -f require").
While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something
where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time
to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer
the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it
really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as
Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to
Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed.
Functional changes:
* This will not always install into perl's idea of its global
"installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that
need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the
INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround.
* The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if
INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way,
it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is
that this is the desired behavior.
* We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to,
only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building
installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or
private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::*
ones say they're internal APIs.
There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect
there to be any of the others.
As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation
now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as
before.

Use libcurl's high-level API functions to implement git-imap-send
instead of the previous low-level OpenSSL-based functions.
Since version 7.30.0, libcurl's API has been able to communicate with
IMAP servers. Using those high-level functions instead of the current
ones would reduce imap-send.c by some 1200 lines of code. For now,
the old ones are wrapped in #ifdefs, and the new functions are enabled
by make if curl's version is >= 7.34.0, from which version on curl's
CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS (enabling IMAP authentication) parameter has been
available. The low-level functions will still be used for tunneling
into the server for now.
As I don't have access to that many IMAP servers, I haven't been able to
test the new code with a wide variety of parameter combinations. I did
test both secure and insecure (imaps:// and imap://) connections and
values of "PLAIN" and "LOGIN" for the authMethod.
In order to suppress a sparse warning about "using sizeof on a
function", we use the same solution used in commit 9371322a6
("sparse: suppress some "using sizeof on a function" warnings",
06-10-2013) which solved exactly this problem for the other commands
using libcurl.

Profile feedback always failed for me with -jN. The problem
was that there was no implicit ordering between the profile generate
stage and the profile use stage. So some objects in the later stage
would be linked with profile generate objects, and fail due
to the missing -lgcov.
This adds a new profile target that implicitely enforces the
correct ordering by using submakes. Plus a profile-install target
to also install. This is also nicer to type that PROFILE=...
Plus I always run the performance test suite now for the full
profile run.
In addition I also added a profile-fast / profile-fast-install
target the only runs the performance test suite instead of the
whole test suite. This significantly speeds up the profile build,
which was totally dominated by test suite run time. However
it may have less coverage of course.

Take a cue from 460d1026 and provide an implementation of the
CalledProcessError exception. Then replace the calls to
subproccess.check_call with calls to subprocess.call that check the return

There was a number of problems I ran into when trying the
profile-directed optimizations added by Andi Kleen in git commit
7ddc2710b9. (This was using gcc 4.4 found on many enterprise
distros.)
1) The -fprofile-generate and -fprofile-use commands are incompatible
with ccache; the code ends up looking in the wrong place for the gcda
files based on the ccache object names.
2) If the makefile notices that CFLAGS are different, it will rebuild
all of the binaries. Hence the recipe originally specified by the
INSTALL file ("make profile-all" followed by "make install") doesn't
work. It will appear to work, but the binaries will end up getting
built with no optimization.
This patch fixes this by using an explicit set of options passed via
the PROFILE variable then using this to directly manipulate CFLAGS and
EXTLIBS.
The developer can run "make PROFILE=BUILD all ; sudo make
PROFILE=BUILD install" automatically run a two-pass build with the
test suite run in between as the sample workload for the purpose of
recording profiling information to do the profile-directed
optimization.
Alternatively, the profiling version of binaries can be built using:
make PROFILE=GEN PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
make PROFILE=GEN install
and then after git has been used for a while, the optimized version of
the binary can be built as follows:
make PROFILE=USE PROFILE_DIR=/var/cache/profile all
make PROFILE=USE install

Change the skeleton implementation of i18n in Git to one that can show
localized strings to users for our C, Shell and Perl programs using
either GNU libintl or the Solaris gettext implementation.
This new internationalization support is enabled by default. If
gettext isn't available, or if Git is compiled with
NO_GETTEXT=YesPlease, Git falls back on its current behavior of
showing interface messages in English. When using the autoconf script
we'll auto-detect if the gettext libraries are installed and act
appropriately.
This change is somewhat large because as well as adding a C, Shell and
Perl i18n interface we're adding a lot of tests for them, and for
those tests to work we need a skeleton PO file to actually test
translations. A minimal Icelandic translation is included for this
purpose. Icelandic includes multi-byte characters which makes it easy
to test various edge cases, and it's a language I happen to
understand.
The rest of the commit message goes into detail about various
sub-parts of this commit.
= Installation
Gettext .mo files will be installed and looked for in the standard
$(prefix)/share/locale path. GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR can also be set to
override that, but that's only intended to be used to test Git itself.
= Perl
Perl code that's to be localized should use the new Git::I18n
module. It imports a __ function into the caller's package by default.
Instead of using the high level Locale::TextDomain interface I've
opted to use the low-level (equivalent to the C interface)
Locale::Messages module, which Locale::TextDomain itself uses.
Locale::TextDomain does a lot of redundant work we don't need, and
some of it would potentially introduce bugs. It tries to set the
$TEXTDOMAIN based on package of the caller, and has its own
hardcoded paths where it'll search for messages.
I found it easier just to completely avoid it rather than try to
circumvent its behavior. In any case, this is an issue wholly
internal Git::I18N. Its guts can be changed later if that's deemed
necessary.
See <AANLkTilYD_NyIZMyj9dHtVk-ylVBfvyxpCC7982LWnVd@mail.gmail.com> for
a further elaboration on this topic.
= Shell
Shell code that's to be localized should use the git-sh-i18n
library. It's basically just a wrapper for the system's gettext.sh.
If gettext.sh isn't available we'll fall back on gettext(1) if it's
available. The latter is available without the former on Solaris,
which has its own non-GNU gettext implementation. We also need to
emulate eval_gettext() there.
If neither are present we'll use a dumb printf(1) fall-through
wrapper.
= About libcharset.h and langinfo.h
We use libcharset to query the character set of the current locale if
it's available. I.e. we'll use it instead of nl_langinfo if
HAVE_LIBCHARSET_H is set.
The GNU gettext manual recommends using langinfo.h's
nl_langinfo(CODESET) to acquire the current character set, but on
systems that have libcharset.h's locale_charset() using the latter is
either saner, or the only option on those systems.
GNU and Solaris have a nl_langinfo(CODESET), FreeBSD can use either,
but MinGW and some others need to use libcharset.h's locale_charset()
instead.

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):
t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh
Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

The mention of 1997 was correct when it was made, and it still is true
to some extent (http://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=5189
says it has not been actively maintained for quite some time). However,
because its name changed not to conflict with us, it is no longer
relevant whether many users use gnuit or have moved away to graphical
file managers.
The only people possibly affected are people who have older version of
gnuit installed as "git".

git-clone.sh was the last user of the "curl" executable. Relevant git
commands now use libcurl instead. This should be reflected in the
install requirements.

We haven't used bignum in rev-list from openssl nor elsewhere
for a long time. Also git-gui is now part of git.git itself,
and depends on wish.
