* Fix builtin-fetch memory corruption by not overstepping arrayShawn O. Pearce2007-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A long time ago Junio added this line to always ensure that the output array created by remove_duplicates() had a NULL as its terminating node. Today none of the downstream consumers of this array care about a NULL terminator; they only pay attention to the size of the array (as indicated by nr_heads). In (nearly?) all cases passing a NULL element will cause SIGSEGV failures. So this NULL terminal is not actually necessary. Unfortunately we cannot continue to NULL terminate the array at this point as the array may only have been allocated large enough to match the input of nr_heads. If there are no duplicates than we would be trying to store NULL into heads[nr_heads] and that may be outside of the array. My recent series to cleanup builtin-fetch changed the allocation of the heads array from 256 entries to exactly nr_heads thus ensuring we were always overstepping the array and causing memory corruption.

* Remove pack.keep after ref updates in git-fetchShawn O. Pearce2007-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we are using a native packfile to perform a git-fetch invocation and the received packfile contained more than the configured limits of fetch.unpackLimit/transfer.unpackLimit then index-pack will output a single line saying "keep\t$sha1\n" to stdout. This line needs to be captured and retained so we can delete the corresponding .keep file ("$GIT_DIR/objects/pack/pack-$sha1.keep") once all refs have been safely updated. This trick has long been in use with git-fetch.sh and its lower level helper git-fetch--tool as a way to allow index-pack to save the new packfile before the refs have been updated and yet avoid a race with any concurrently running git-repack process. It was unfortunately lost when git-fetch.sh was converted to pure C and fetch--tool was no longer being invoked. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* Remove unnecessary debugging from builtin-fetchShawn O. Pearce2007-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | The older git-fetch client did not produce all of this debugging information to stdout. Most end-users and Porcelain (e.g. StGIT, git-gui, qgit) do not want to see these low-level details on the console so they should be removed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
