Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '
        s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
        s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
        s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
        s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
      '

on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

<title>upload-pack: avoid parsing tag destinations</title>
<updated>2012-01-06T21:28:57+00:00</updated>

<id>90108a2441fb57f69c3f25d072d1952b306b77ab</id>

When upload-pack advertises refs, it dereferences any tags
it sees, and shows the resulting sha1 to the client. It does
this by calling deref_tag. That function must load and parse
each tag object to find the sha1 of the tagged object.
However, it also ends up parsing the tagged object itself,
which is not strictly necessary for upload-pack's use.

Each tag produces two object loads (assuming it is not a
recursive tag), when it could get away with only a single
one. Dropping the second load halves the effort we spend.

The downside is that we are no longer verifying the
resulting object by loading it. In particular:

  1. We never cross-check the "type" field given in the tag
     object with the type of the pointed-to object.  If the
     tag says it points to a tag but doesn't, then we will
     keep peeling and realize the error.  If the tag says it
     points to a non-tag but actually points to a tag, we
     will stop peeling and just advertise the pointed-to
     tag.

  2. If we are missing the pointed-to object, we will not
     realize (because we never even look it up in the object
     db).

However, both of these are errors in the object database,
and both will be detected if a client actually requests the
broken objects in question. So we are simply pushing the
verification away from the advertising stage, and down to
the actual fetching stage.

On my test repo with 120K refs, this drops the time to
advertise the refs from ~3.2s to ~2.0s.

<title>Split GPG interface into its own helper library</title>

This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing)
and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c
file to provide a more generic library interface.

 - sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing
   key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and
   appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that
   concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by
   giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf.

 - verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as
   &lt;ptr, len&gt; pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches
   the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow
   the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their
   contexts.

"verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it
is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It
relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is
annotated.  The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of
detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg".

There is a check (size &lt; 64) at the beginning of the function, but
that only covers object+type lines.

We have always been creating rfc1991 signatures for users with "rfc1991"
in their gpg config but failed to recognize them (tag -l -n largenumber)
and verify them (tag -v, verify-tag).

Make good use of the refactored signature detection and let us recognize
and verify those signatures also.

<title>tag.c: Parse tagger date (if present)</title>

Just like with committer dates, we parse the tagger date into the
struct tag so its available for further downstream processing.
However since the tagger header was not introduced until Git 0.99.1
we must consider it optional.  For tags missing this header we use
the default date of 0.
