The problem is that the original file contains something like this:

after two empty lines
-- snap --
and this snippet is reduced to _one_ empty line in _both_ new files.
However, it is ambiguous as to which hunk takes the empty line: the first

Indeed in Alexandre's example files, the xdiff algorithm attributes the
empty line to the first hunk in one case, and to the second hunk in the

(Trimming down the example files _changes_ that behaviour!)
Thus, the call to xdl_merge_cmp_lines() has no chance to realize that the

Fix random segfaults in pack-objects.
Junio noticed that 'non-trivial' pushes were failing if executed
using the sliding window mmap changes. This was somewhat difficult
to track down as the failure was appearing randomly.
It turns out this was a failure caused by the delta base reference
(either ref or offset format) spanning over the end of a mmap window.
The error in pack-objects was we were not recalling use_pack
after the object header was unpacked, and therefore we did not
get the promise of at least 20 bytes in the buffer for the delta
base parsing. This would case later memcmp() calls to walk into
unassigned address space at the end of the window.
The reason Junio and I had hard time tracking this down in current
Git repositories is we were both probably packing with offset deltas,
which minimized the odds of the delta base reference spanning over
the end of the mmap window. Stepping back and repacking with
version 1.3.3 (which only supported reference deltas) increased
the likelyhood of seeing the bug.
The correct technique (as used in sha1_file.c) is to invoke
use_pack() after unpack_object_header_gently to ensure we have
enough data available for the delta base decoding.

Fully activate the sliding window pack access.
This finally turns on the sliding window behavior for packfile data
access by mapping limited size windows and chaining them under the
packed_git->windows list.
We consider a given byte offset to be within the window only if there
would be at least 20 bytes (one hash worth of data) accessible after
the requested offset. This range selection relates to the contract
that use_pack() makes with its callers, allowing them to access
one hash or one object header without needing to call use_pack()
for every byte of data obtained.
In the worst case scenario we will map the same page of data twice
into memory: once at the end of one window and once again at the
start of the next window. This duplicate page mapping will happen
only when an object header or a delta base reference is spanned
over the end of a window and is always limited to just one page of
duplication, as no sane operating system will ever have a page size
smaller than a hash.
I am assuming that the possible wasted page of virtual address
space is going to perform faster than the alternatives, which
would be to copy the object header or ref delta into a temporary

Replace use_packed_git with window cursors.
Part of the implementation concept of the sliding mmap window for
pack access is to permit multiple windows per pack to be mapped
independently. Since the inuse_cnt is associated with the mmap and
not with the file, this value is in struct pack_window and needs to
be incremented/decremented for each pack_window accessed by any code.
To faciliate that implementation we need to replace all uses of
use_packed_git() and unuse_packed_git() with a different API that
follows struct pack_window objects rather than struct packed_git.
The way this works is when we need to start accessing a pack for
the first time we should setup a new window 'cursor' by declaring
a local and setting it to NULL:
struct pack_windows *w_curs = NULL;
To obtain the memory region which contains a specific section of
the pack file we invoke use_pack(), supplying the address of our
current window cursor:
the returned address `addr` will be the first byte at `offset`
within the pack file. The optional variable len will also be
updated with the number of bytes remaining following the address.
Multiple calls to use_pack() with the same window cursor will
update the window cursor, moving it from one window to another
when necessary. In this way each window cursor variable maintains
only one struct pack_window inuse at a time.
Finally before exiting the scope which originally declared the window
cursor we must invoke unuse_pack() to unuse the current window (which
may be different from the one that was first obtained from use_pack):
unuse_pack(&w_curs);
This implementation is still not complete with regards to multiple
windows, as only one window per pack file is supported right now.

file we want to keep the pack's file descriptor open while we are

descriptor in packed_git.pack_fd and closing it only after we unmap
the last window.
This is going to increase the number of file descriptors that are
in use at once, however that will be bounded by the total number of
pack files present and therefore should not be very high. It is
a small tradeoff which we may need to revisit after some testing
can be done on various repositories and systems.

Introduce new config option for mmap limit.
Rather than hardcoding the maximum number of bytes which can be
mmapped from pack files we should make this value configurable,
allowing the end user to increase or decrease this limit on a
per-repository basis depending on the size of the repository
and the capabilities of their operating system.
In general users should not need to manually tune such a low-level
setting within the core code, but being able to artifically limit
the number of bytes which we can mmap at once from pack files will
make it easier to craft test cases for the new mmap sliding window
implementation.

Replace unpack_entry_gently with unpack_entry.
The unpack_entry_gently function currently has only two callers:
the delta base resolution in sha1_file.c and the main loop of
pack-check.c. Both of these must change to using unpack_entry
directly when we implement sliding window mmap logic, so I'm doing
it earlier to help break down the change set.
This may cause a slight performance decrease for delta base
resolution as well as for pack-check.c's verify_packfile(), as
the pack use counter will be incremented and decremented for every
object that is unpacked.

Fix 'git add' with .gitignore
When '*.ig' is ignored, and you have two files f.ig and d.ig/foo
in the working tree,
$ git add .
correctly ignored f.ig but failed to ignore d.ig/foo. This was
caused by a thinko in an earlier commit 4888c534, when we tried
to allow adding otherwise ignored files.
After reverting that commit, this takes a much simpler approach.
When we have an unmatched pathspec that talks about an existing
pathname, we know it is an ignored path the user tried to add,
so we include it in the set of paths directory walker returned.
This does not let you say "git add -f D" on an ignored directory
D and add everything under D. People can submit a patch to
further allow it if they want to, but I think it is a saner
behaviour to require explicit paths to be spelled out in such a
case.

GIT_SKIP_TESTS: allow users to omit tests that are known to break
In some environments, certain tests have no way of succeeding
due to platform limitation, such as lack of 'unzip' program, or
filesystem that do not allow arbitrary sequence of non-NUL bytes
as pathnames.
You should be able to say something like
$ cd t

and even:
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make test

SP separated list of patterns that tells which tests to skip,
and either can match the "t[0-9]{4}" part to skip the whole
test, or t[0-9]{4} followed by ".$number" to say which
particular test to skip.
Note that some tests in the existing test suite rely on previous
test item, so you cannot arbitrarily disable one and expect the
remainder of test to check what the test originally was intended
to check.

git-svn: remove non-delta fetch code paths
We have less code to worry about now. As a bonus, --revision

For people (nearly everyone at the moment) without the
do_switch() function in their Perl SVN library, the entire tree
must be refetched if --follow-parent is used and a parent is
found. Future versions of SVN will have a working do_switch()
function accessible via Perl.
Accessing repositories on the local machine (especially file://

Use branch names in 'git-rebase -m' conflict hunks.
If a three-way merge in git-rebase generates a conflict then we
should take advantage of git-merge-recursive's ability to include
the branch name of each side of the conflict hunk by setting the
GITHEAD_* environment variables.
In the case of rebase there aren't really two clear branches; we
have the branch we are rebasing onto, and we have the branch we are
currently rebasing. Since most conflicts will be arising between
the user's current branch and the branch they are rebasing onto
we assume the stuff that isn't in the current commit is the "onto"
branch and the stuff in the current commit is the "current" branch.
This assumption may however come up wrong if the user resolves one
conflict in such a way that it conflicts again on a future commit
also being rebased. In this case the user's prior resolution will
appear to be in the "onto" part of the hunk.
