* Change the default of the file limit to 0 (unlimited).
* Changed the heuristic to close files to be the file that contains the
least-recently-used window such that the window is the
most-recently-used in the file, and the file does not have in-use
windows.
* Parameterized the filelimit test to check for a limit of 1 and 100
open windows.
There are some cases in which repositories accrue a large number of
packfiles. The existing mwindow limit applies only to the total size of
mmap'd files, not on their number. This leads to a situation in which
having lots of small packfiles could exhaust the allowed number of open
files, particularly on macOS, where the default ulimit is very low
(256).
This change adds a new configuration parameter
(GIT_OPT_SET_MWINDOW_FILE_LIMIT) that sets the maximum number of open
packfiles, with a default of 128. This is low enough so that even macOS
users should not hit it during normal use.
Based on PR #5386, originally written by @josharian.

We should not be in the business of copying strings around for users.
We either return a strarray that can be freed, or we take one (and do
not mutate it).
We _dispose_ the contents of objects; we _free_ objects (and their
contents). Update `git_strarray_free` to be `git_strarray_dispose`.
`git_strarray_free` remains as a deprecated proxy function.
Provide macros to replace usages of `assert`. A true `assert` is
punishing as a library. Instead we should do our best to not crash.
GIT_ASSERT_ARG(x) will now assert that the given argument complies to
some format and sets an error message and returns `-1` if it does not.
GIT_ASSERT(x) is for internal usage, and available as an internal
consistency check. It will set an error message and return `-1` in the
event of failure.
The credential structures are now opaque and defined in
`sys/credential.h`. However, we should continue to provide them for
backward compatibility, unless `GIT_DEPRECATED_HARD` is set.
The callbacks are currently sparsely documented, making it really hard
to implement a new backend without taking a look at the existing
refdb_fs backend. Add documentation to make this task hopefully easier
to achieve.
This commit also switches our SOVERSION to be "$MAJOR.$MINOR" instead of
"$MINOR", only. This is in preparation of v1.0, where the previous
scheme would've stopped working in an obvious way.
We avoid abbreviations where possible; rename git_cred to
git_credential.
In addition, we have standardized on a trailing `_t` for enum types,
instead of using "type" in the name. So `git_credtype_t` has become
`git_credential_t` and its members have become `GIT_CREDENTIAL` instead
of `GIT_CREDTYPE`.
Finally, the source and header files have been renamed to `credential`
instead of `cred`.
Keep previous name and values as deprecated, and include the new header
files from the previous ones.
Allow users to opt-in to expect/continue handling when sending a POST
and we're authenticated with a "connection-based" authentication
mechanism like NTLM or Negotiate.
If the response is a 100, return to the caller (to allow them to post
their body). If the response is *not* a 100, buffer the response for
the caller.
HTTP expect/continue is generally safe, but some legacy servers
have not implemented it correctly. Require it to be opt-in.
As git_reference__name will reallocate storage to account for longer
names (it's actually allocator-dependent), it will cause all existing
pointers to the old object to become dangling, as they now point to
freed memory.
Fix the issue by renaming to a more descriptive name, and pass a pointer
to the actual reference that can safely be invalidated if the realloc
succeeds.
Git is generating patch-id using a stripped down version of a patch
where hunk header and index information are not present.
