gc: reject if another gc is running, unless --force is given
This may happen when `git gc --auto` is run automatically, then the
user, to avoid wait time, switches to a new terminal, keeps working
and `git gc --auto` is started again because the first gc instance has
not clean up the repository.
This patch tries to avoid multiple gc running, especially in --auto
mode. In the worst case, gc may be delayed 12 hours if a daemon reuses
the pid stored in gc.pid.
kill(pid, 0) support is added to MinGW port so it should work on
Windows too.

t5004: avoid using tar for checking emptiness of archive
Test 2 of t5004 checks if a supposedly empty tar archive really
contains no files. 24676f02 (t5004: fix issue with empty archive test
and bsdtar) removed our commit hash to make it work with bsdtar, but
the test still fails on NetBSD and OpenBSD, which use their own tar
that considers a tar file containing only NULs as broken.
Here's what the different archivers do when asked to create a tar
file without entries:
So NetBSD's native tar creates an empty file, while GNU tar and bsdtar
both give us 10KB of NULs -- just like git archive with an empty tree.
Now let's see how the archivers handle these two kinds of empty tar
files:
$ tar tf zero.tar; echo $?
tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
1
$ gtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
gtar: This does not look like a tar archive
gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
2
$ bsdtar tf zero.tar; echo $?
0
$ tar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
tar: Cannot identify format. Searching...
tar: End of archive volume 1 reached
tar: Sorry, unable to determine archive format.
1
$ gtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
0
$ bsdtar tf tenk.tar; echo $?
0
NetBSD's tar complains about both, bsdtar happily accepts any of them
and GNU tar doesn't like zero-length archive files. So the safest
course of action is to stay with our block-of-NULs format which is
compatible with GNU tar and bsdtar, as we can't make NetBSD's native
tar happy anyway.
We can simplify our test, however, by taking tar out of the picture.
Instead of extracting the archive and checking for the non-presence of
files, check if the file has a size of 10KB and contains only NULs.
This makes t5004 pass on NetBSD and OpenBSD.

receive-pack: close sideband fd on early pack errors
Since commit a22e6f8 (receive-pack: send pack-processing
stderr over sideband, 2012-09-21), receive-pack will start
an async sideband thread to copy the stderr from our
index-pack or unpack-objects child to the client. We hand
the thread's input descriptor to unpack(), which puts it in
the "err" member of the "struct child_process".
After unpack() returns, we use finish_async() to reap the
sideband thread. The thread is only ready to die when it
gets EOF on its pipe, which is connected to the err
descriptor. So we expect all of the write ends of that pipe
to be closed as part of unpack().
Normally, this works fine. After start_command forks, it
closes the parent copy of the descriptor. Then once the
child exits (whether it was successful or not), that closes
the only remaining writer.
However, there is one code-path in unpack() that does not
handle this. Before we decide which of unpack-objects or
index-pack to use, we read the pack header ourselves to see
how many objects it contains. If there is an error here, we
exit without running either sub-command, the pipe descriptor
remains open, and we are in a deadlock, waiting for the
sideband thread to die (which is in turn waiting for us to
close the pipe).
We can fix this by making sure that unpack() always closes
the pipe before returning.

cat-file: print tags raw for "cat-file -p"
When "cat-file -p" prints commits, it shows them in their
raw format, since git's format is already human-readable.
For tags, however, we print the whole thing raw except for
one thing: we convert the timestamp on the tagger line into a
human-readable date.
This dates all the way back to a0f15fa (Pretty-print tagger
dates, 2006-03-01). At that time there was no other way to
pretty-print a tag. These days, however, neither of those
matters much. The normal way to pretty-print a tag is with
"git show", which is much more flexible than "cat-file -p".
Commit a0f15fa also built "verify-tag --verbose" (and
subsequently "tag -v") around the "cat-file -p" output.
However, that behavior was lost in commit 62e09ce (Make git
tag a builtin, 2007-07-20), and we went back to printing
the raw tag contents. Nobody seems to have noticed the bug
since then (and it is arguably a saner behavior anyway, as
it shows the actual bytes for which we verified the
signature).
Let's drop the tagger-date formatting for "cat-file -p". It
makes us more consistent with cat-file's commit
pretty-printer, and as a bonus, we can drop the hand-rolled
tag parsing code in cat-file (which happened to behave
inconsistently with the tag pretty-printing code elsewhere).
This is a change of output format, so it's possible that
some callers could considered this a regression. However,
the original behavior was arguably a bug (due to the
inconsistency with commits), likely nobody was relying on it
(even we do not use it ourselves these days), and anyone
relying on the "-p" pretty-printer should be able to expect
a change in the output format (i.e., while "cat-file" is
plumbing, the output format of "-p" was never guaranteed to
be stable).

run-command: use thread-aware die_is_recursing routine
If we die from an async thread, we do not actually exit the
program, but just kill the thread. This confuses the static
counter in usage.c's default die_is_recursing function; it
updates the counter once for the thread death, and then when
the main program calls die() itself, it erroneously thinks
we are recursing. The end result is that we print "recursion
detected in die handler" instead of the real error in such a
case (the easiest way to trigger this is having a remote
connection hang up while running a sideband demultiplexer).
This patch solves it by using a per-thread counter when the
async_die function is installed; we detect recursion in each
thread (including the main one), but they do not step on
each other's toes.
Other threaded code does not need to worry about this, as
they do not install specialized die handlers; they just let
a die() from a sub-thread take down the whole program.
Since we are overriding the default recursion-check
function, there is an interesting corner case that is not a
problem, but bears some explanation. Imagine the main thread
calls die(), and then in the die_routine starts an async
call. We will switch to using thread-local storage, which
starts at 0, for the main thread's counter, even though
the original counter was actually at 1. That's OK, though,
for two reasons:
1. It would miss only the first level of recursion, and
would still find recursive failures inside the async
helper.
2. We do not currently and are not likely to start doing
anything as heavyweight as starting an async routine
from within a die routine or helper function.

the counter for everyone).
Rather than try to deal with threads ourselves here, let's

is another one that is common and that is what we can use".
Better rewrite said paragraph to avoid such a mental roller-coaster in
the first place.

t/test-lib.sh: drop "$test" variable
The $test variable is used as an interim buffer for
constructing $TRASH_DIRECTORY, and is almost compatible with
it (the exception being that $test has not been converted to
an absolute path). Let's get rid of it entirely so that
later code does not accidentally use it, thinking the two
are interchangeable.

t/test-lib.sh: fix TRASH_DIRECTORY handling
After the location of $TRASH_DIRECTORY is adjusted by
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, we go on to use the $test variable to make the
trash directory and cd into it. This means that when
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is not "." and an absolute --root has not been
specified, we do not remove the trash directory once the tests are
complete (remove_trash is set to $TRASH_DIRECTORY).
Fix this by always referring to the trash directory as $TRASH_DIRECTORY.

doc/http-backend: match query-string in apache half-auth example
When setting up a "half-auth" repository in which reads can
be done anonymously but writes require authentication, it is
best if the server can require authentication for both the
ref advertisement and the actual receive-pack POSTs. This
alleviates the need for the admin to set http.receivepack in
the repositories, and means that the client is challenged
for credentials immediately, instead of partway through the
push process (and git clients older than v1.7.11.7 had
trouble handling these challenges).
Since detecting a push during the ref advertisement requires
matching the query string, and this is non-trivial to do in
Apache, we have traditionally punted and instructed users to
just protect "/git-receive-pack$". This patch provides the
mod_rewrite recipe to actually match the ref advertisement,
which is preferred.
While we're at it, let's add the recipe to our test scripts
so that we can be sure that it works, and doesn't get broken
(either by our changes or by changes in Apache).
