When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string.
But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.
This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.
For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh
generates a dash-less usage string now.

As announced for 1.6.0.
Access over the native protocol by old git versions is unaffected as
this capability is negociated by the protocol. Otherwise setting this
config option to "false" and doing a 'git repack -a -d' is enough to
remain compatible with ancient git versions (older than 1.4.4).

* bc/repack:
Documentation/git-repack.txt: document new -A behaviour
let pack-objects do the writing of unreachable objects as loose objects
add a force_object_loose() function
builtin-gc.c: deprecate --prune, it now really has no effect
git-gc: always use -A when manually repacking
repack: modify behavior of -A option to leave unreferenced objects unpacked
Conflicts:
builtin-pack-objects.c

Commit ccc1297226b184c40459e9d373cc9eebfb7bd898 changed the behavior
of 'git repack -A' so unreachable objects are stored as loose objects.
However it did so in a naive and inn efficient way by making packs
about to be deleted inaccessible and feeding their content through
'git unpack-objects'. While this works, there are major flaws with
this approach:
- It is unacceptably sloooooooooooooow.
In the Linux kernel repository with no actual unreachable objects,
doing 'git repack -A -d' before:
real 2m33.220s
user 2m21.675s
sys 0m3.510s
And with this change:
real 0m36.849s
user 0m24.365s
sys 0m1.950s
For reference, here's the timing for 'git repack -a -d':
real 0m35.816s
user 0m22.571s
sys 0m2.011s
This is explained by the fact that 'git unpack-objects' was used to
unpack _every_ objects even if (almost) 100% of them were thrown away.
- There is a black out period.
Between the removal of the .idx file for the redundant pack and the
completion of its unpacking, the unreachable objects become completely
unaccessible. This is not a big issue as we're talking about unreachable
objects, but some consistency is always good.
- There is no way to easily set a sensible mtime for the newly created
unreachable loose objects.
So, while having a command called "pack-objects" to perform object
unpacking looks really odd, this is probably the best compromize to be
able to solve the above issues in an efficient way.

The previous behavior of the -A option was to retain any previously
packed objects which had become unreferenced, and place them into the newly
created pack file. Since git-gc, when run automatically with the --auto
option, calls repack with the -A option, this had the effect of retaining
unreferenced packed objects indefinitely. To avoid this scenario, the
user was required to run git-gc with the little known --prune option or
to manually run repack with the -a option.
This patch changes the behavior of the -A option so that unreferenced
objects that exist in any pack file being replaced, will be unpacked into
the repository. The unreferenced loose objects can then be garbage collected
by git-gc (i.e. git-prune) based on the gc.pruneExpire setting.
Also add new tests for checking whether unreferenced objects which were
previously packed are properly left in the repository unpacked after
repacking.

Discussion on the list tonight came to the conclusion that showing
the name of the packfile we just created during git-repack is not
a very useful message for any end-user. For the really technical
folk who need to have the name of the newest packfile they can use
something such as `ls -t .git/objects/pack | head -2` to find the
most recently created packfile.

A lot of shell scripts contained stuff starting with
while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac
and similar. I consider breaking out of the condition instead of the
body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance. It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant. In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test". "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin. Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.
A few loops have had their termination condition expressed
differently.

During `git repack -a -d` only repack objects which are loose or
which reside in an active (a non-kept) pack. This allows the user
to keep large packs as-is without continuous repacking and can be
very helpful on large repositories. It should also help us resolve
a race condition between `git repack -a -d` and the new pack store
functionality in `git-receive-pack`.
Kept packs are those which have a corresponding .keep file in
$GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/pack. That is pack-X.pack will be kept
(not repacked and not deleted) if pack-X.keep exists in the same
directory when `git repack -a -d` starts.
Currently this feature is not documented and there is no user
interface to keep an existing pack.

* np/pack:

index-pack: compare only the first 20-bytes of the key.
git-repack: repo.usedeltabaseoffset
pack-objects: document --delta-base-offset option
allow delta data reuse even if base object is a preferred base
zap a debug remnant

make pack data reuse compatible with both delta types

teach git-index-pack about deltas with offset to base
teach git-unpack-objects about deltas with offset to base
introduce delta objects with offset to base
|
|
When configuration variable `repack.UseDeltaBaseOffset` is set
for the repository, the command passes `--delta-base-offset`
option to `git-pack-objects`; this typically results in slightly
smaller packs, but the generated packs are incompatible with
versions of git older than (and including) v1.4.3.
We will make it default to true sometime in the future, but not
for a while.

Avoid failing when cwd is !writable by writing the

Without this, git-repack was failing when run from crontab

After a clone, packfiles are read-only by default and "mv" to
replace the pack with a new one goes interactive, asking if the
user wants to replace it. If one is successfully moved and the
other is not, the pack and its idx would become out-of-sync and
corrupts the repository.
Recovering is straightforward -- it is just the matter of
finding the remaining .tmp-pack-* and make sure they are both
moved -- but we should be extra careful not to do something so
alarming to the users.

The git philosophy when it comes to disk accesses is "Laugh in the face of
danger".
Notably, since we never modify an existing object, we don't really care
that deeply about flushing things to disk, since even if the machine
crashes in the middle of a git operation, you can never really have lost
any old work. At most, you'd need to figure out the proper heads (which
git-fsck-objects can do for you) and re-do the operation.
However, there's two exceptions to this: pruning and repacking. Those
operations will actually _delete_ old objects that they know about in
other ways (ie that they just repacked, or that they have found in other
places).
However, since they actually modify old state, we should thus be a bit
more careful about them. If the machine crashes and the duplicate new
objects haven't been flushed to disk, you can actually be in trouble.
This is trivially stupid about it by calling "sync" before removing the
objects. Not very smart, but we're talking about special operations than
are usually done once a week if that.

This uses the new "--local" flag to git-pack-objects. It currently only
makes a difference together with "-a", since a normal incremental repack
won't pack any packed objects at all (whether local or remote).
Eventually, it might end up skipping any objects that aren't local to
the current object directory, but for now it only knows to skip packed
objects.
