The '-m' flag was added to date largely
to support git scripts. It predates the
tmdate code, which is why it exists, but
it's a recent enough addition that nothing
I'm aware of uses it, other than git.
As a result, it would be good to remove
it, so let's do that.
currently, git/fetch prints the refs
to update before it fully fetches the
pack files; this can lead to updates
to the refs before we're 100% certain
that the objects are present.
This change prints the updates after
the packfile has been successfully
indexed.
When pulling into a git repository that is group
writable as a non-owner, the pack file is left
in place because we do not have permission to
remove it.
We also leave it behind if we bail out early due
to an error, or due to only listing the changes.
This pushes down the creation of the file, and
cleans it up on error.

git/fetch: ensure we clean packfiles on failure

Also, while we're here, clean up index caching,
and ensure we close the fd in all cases.

git/export *almost* produces output that can be
emailed with upas using
git/export $commit | mail maintainer@site.com
but, the
From: commit-id date
line that git generates trips it up. Luckily,
'git am' doesn't seem to care much if that line
is missing, so we can simply omit it with no issue.
Since we now store /dist/plan9front in git, the
initial assumption that the owner of the repo
is the person touching it is not always true.
This change gives us a better heuristic for the
file permissions we should have in the files we
copy around, basing it off of the permissions of
the .git directory.
When switching a branch implicitly -- ie, creating a local
branch off of a remote branch -- we would get the list of
changed files before we would resolve the implicit branch
switch, leading to an empty list of changes.
git/import expected a patch, however upas/fs serves
either a raw file without any of the mime decoding
and line joining, or a directory, with the headers
and body split out.
This makes it a pain to apply some mails.
So, here we teach git to import upas dirs natively,
making it easy to handle all patches that come in
as emails.
git/push died within a subshell, which prevented the
whole program from exiting, and lead to an incorrect
ref update line that confused people.
git/send would eventually error out, but would push
all the data before that happened; this was annoying.
It's not fatal for someone else to push a branch
with objects that we don't have. We should deal
with it gracefully, and act as though it doesn't
exist.
This is implemented by checking first if the uri is
a directory containing the .git/ subdirectory.
If this is the case, we fork git/serve serving the
repository on a pipe.
We weren't giving all objects to the twixt() function, and
it was making bad life choices -- gambling, smoking, drinking,
and packing in too much data.
With more information, it doesn't do the last.
