7543fc7b3a [PATCH] ext3: wrong error behavior
SWsoft Virtuozzo/OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered that ext3 error
behavior was broken in linux kernels since 2.5.x versions by the following
patch:

2002/10/31 02:15:26-05:00 tytso@snap.thunk.org
Default mount options from superblock for ext2/3 filesystems
http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/gnupatch@3dc0d88eKbV9ivV4ptRNM8fBuA3JBQ

In case ext3 file system is mounted with errors=continue
(EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE) errors should be ignored when possible.  However at
present in case of any error kernel aborts journal and remounts filesystem
to read-only.  Such behavior was hit number of times and noted to differ
from that of 2.4.x kernels.

This patch fixes this:
- do nothing in case of EXT3_ERRORS_CONTINUE,
- set EXT3_MOUNT_ABORT and call journal_abort() in all other cases
- panic() should be called after ext3_commit_super() to save
 sb marked as EXT3_ERROR_FS

855565e81a [PATCH] fix ext3 mounts at 16T
I need to do some actual IO testing now, but this gets things mounting for
a 16T ext3 filesystem.  (patched up e2fsprogs is needed too, I'll send that
off the kernel list)

This patch fixes these issues in the kernel:

o sbi->s_groups_count overflows in ext3_fill_super()

	sbi->s_groups_count = (le32_to_cpu(es->s_blocks_count) -
			       le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block) +
			       EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) - 1) /
			      EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb);

  at 16T, s_blocks_count is already maxed out; adding
  EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) overflows it and groups_count comes out to 0.
  Not really what we want, and causes a failed mount.

  Feel free to check my math (actually, please do!), but changing it this
  way should work & avoid the overflow:

  (A + B - 1)/B changed to: ((A - 1)/B) + 1

o ext3_check_descriptors() overflows range checks

  ext3_check_descriptors() iterates over all block groups making sure
  that various bits are within the right block ranges...  on the last pass
  through, it is checking the error case

   [item] >= block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)

  where "block" is the first block in the last block group.  The last
  block in this group (and the last one that will fit in 32 bits) is block
  + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)- 1.  block + EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) wraps
  back around to 0.

  so, make things clearer with "first_block" and "last_block" where those
  are first and last, inclusive, and use <, > rather than <, >=.

  Finally, the last block group may be smaller than the rest, so account
  for this on the last pass through: last_block = sb->s_blocks_count - 1;

(a similar patch could be done for ext2; does anyone in their right mind
use ext2 at 16T?  I'll send an ext2 patch doing the same thing if that's
warranted)

3665d0e58f [PATCH] ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE correctly
It has been reported that ext3_getblk() is not doing the right thing and
triggering following WARN():

Looking at the code, it looks like it's not handle HOLE correctly.  It ends
up returning -EIO.  Here is the patch to fix it.

If we really want to be paranoid, we can allow return values 0 (HOLE), 1
(we asked for one block) and return -EIO for more than 1 block.  But I
really don't see a reason for doing it - all we need is the block# here.
(doesn't matter how many blocks are mapped).

ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.  It returns 0
in case of HOLE.  ext3_getblk() should handle HOLE properly (currently its
dumping warning stack and returning -EIO).

08fb306fe6 [PATCH] ext3 filesystem bogus ENOSPC with reservation fix
To handle the earlier bogus ENOSPC error caused by filesystem full of block
reservation, current code falls back to non block reservation, starts to
allocate block(s) from the goal allocation block group as if there is no
block reservation.

Current code needs to re-load the corresponding block group descriptor for
the initial goal block group in this case.  The patch fixes this.

2ccb48ebb4 [PATCH] ext3: avoid triggering ext3_error on bad NFS file handle
The inode number out of an NFS file handle gets passed eventually to
ext3_get_inode_block() without any checking.  If ext3_get_inode_block()
allows it to trigger an error, then bad filehandles can have unpleasant
effect - ext3_error() will usually cause a forced read-only remount, or a
panic if `errors=panic' was used.

So remove the call to ext3_error there and put a matching check in
ext3/namei.c where inode numbers are read off storage.

5c81a4197d [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the quota code
The quota code plays interesting games with the lock ordering; to quote Jan:

| i_mutex of inode containing quota file is acquired after all other
| quota locks. i_mutex of all other inodes is acquired before quota
| locks. Quota code makes sure (by resetting inode operations and
| setting special flag on inode) that noone tries to enter quota code
| while holding i_mutex on a quota file...

The good news is that all of this special case i_mutex grabbing happens in the
(per filesystem) low level quota write function.  For this special case we
need a new I_MUTEX_* nesting level, since this just entirely outside any of
the regular VFS locking rules for i_mutex.  I trust Jan on his blue eyes that
this is not ever going to deadlock; and based on that the patch below is what
it takes to inform lockdep of these very interesting new locking rules.

The new locking rule for the I_MUTEX_QUOTA nesting level is that this is the
deepest possible level of nesting for i_mutex, and that this only should be
used in quota write (and possibly read) function of filesystems.  This makes
the lock ordering of the I_MUTEX_* levels:

I_MUTEX_PARENT -> I_MUTEX_CHILD -> I_MUTEX_NORMAL -> I_MUTEX_QUOTA

Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

1c2bf374a4 [PATCH] ext3_fsblk_t: filesystem, group blocks and bug fixes
Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based).  While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning).  So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks.  The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.

With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.

This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.

Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2

Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39).  Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.

This patch:

Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.

This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before.  Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables.  There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code.  This
patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
long) type.

  counter is changed from long to s64, while the local counter is changed from
  long to s32, so we could avoid doing 64 bit update in most cases.

726c334223 [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry
Give the statfs superblock operation a dentry pointer rather than a superblock
pointer.

This complements the get_sb() patch.  That reduced the significance of
sb->s_root, allowing NFS to place a fake root there.  However, NFS does
require a dentry to use as a target for the statfs operation.  This permits
the root in the vfsmount to be used instead.

linux/mount.h has been added where necessary to make allyesconfig build
successfully.

Interest has also been expressed for use with the FUSE and XFS filesystems.

454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

5dea5176e5 [PATCH] ext3: multile block allocate little endian fixes
Some places in ext3 multiple block allocation code (in 2.6.17-rc3) don't
handle the little endian well.  This was resulting in *wrong* block numbers
being assigned to in-memory block variables and then stored on disk
eventually.  The following patch has been verified to fix an ext3
filesystem failure when run ltp test on a 64 bit machine.

de0bb97aff [PATCH] forgotten ->b_data in memcpy() call in ext3/resize.c (oopsable)
sbi->s_group_desc is an array of pointers to buffer_head.  memcpy() of
buffer size from address of buffer_head is a bad idea - it will generate
junk in any case, may oops if buffer_head is close to the end of slab
page and next page is not mapped and isn't what was intended there.
IOW, ->b_data is missing in that call.  Fortunately, result doesn't go
into the primary on-disk data structures, so only backup ones get crap
written to them; that had allowed this bug to remain unnoticed until
now.

5274f052e7 [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call
This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).

From the splice.c comments:

   "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.

   This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
   an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
   buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.

   The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
   that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.

   Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
   Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
   bugs.

d48589bfad [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Adjust reservation window size for mblocks
Optimize the block reservation and the multiple block allocation: with the
knowledge of the total number of blocks ahead, set or adjust the reservation
window size properly (based on the number of blocks needed) before block
allocation happens: if there isn't any reservation yet, make sure the
reservation window equals to or greater than the number of blocks needed,
before create an reservation window; if a reservation window is already
exists, try to extends the window size to match the number of blocks to
allocate.  This could increase the possibility of completing multiple blocks
allocation in a single request, as blocks are only allocated in the range of
the inode's reservation window.

89747d369d [PATCH] ext3_get_blocks: Mapping multiple blocks at a once
Currently ext3_get_block() only maps or allocates one block at a time.  This
is quite inefficient for sequential IO workload.

I have posted a early implements a simply multiple block map and allocation
with current ext3.  The basic idea is allocating the 1st block in the existing
way, and attempting to allocate the next adjacent blocks on a best effort
basis.  More description about the implementation could be found here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=112162230003522&w=2

The following the latest version of the patch: break the original patch into 5
patches, re-worked some logicals, and fixed some bugs.  The break ups are:

 [patch 1] Adding map multiple blocks at a time in ext3_get_blocks()
 [patch 2] Extend ext3_get_blocks() to support multiple block allocation
 [patch 3] Implement multiple block allocation in ext3-try-to-allocate
 (called via ext3_new_block()).
 [patch 4] Proper accounting updates in ext3_new_blocks()
 [patch 5] Adjust reservation window size properly (by the given number
 of blocks to allocate) before block allocation to increase the
 possibility of allocating multiple blocks in a single call.

Tests done so far includes fsx,tiobench and dbench.  The following numbers
collected from Direct IO tests (1G file creation/read) shows the system time
have been greatly reduced (more than 50% on my 8 cpu system) with the patches.

 1G file DIO write:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m31.275s	0m31.161s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.000s
 sys     0m3.384s	0m0.564s

 1G file DIO read:
 	2.6.15		2.6.15+patches
 real    0m30.733s	0m30.624s
 user    0m0.000s	0m0.004s
 sys     0m0.748s	0m0.380s

Some previous test we did on buffered IO with using multiple blocks allocation
and delayed allocation shows noticeable improvement on throughput and system
time.

This patch:

Add support of mapping multiple blocks in one call.

This is useful for DIO reads and re-writes (where blocks are already
allocated), also is in line with Christoph's proposal of using getblocks() in
mpage_readpage() or mpage_readpages().

4b6a9316fa [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.

Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

d8733c2956 [PATCH] ext3_readdir: use generic readahead
Linus points out that ext3_readdir's readahead only cuts in when
ext3_readdir() is operating at the very start of the directory.  So for large
directories we end up performing no readahead at all and we suck.

So take it all out and use the core VM's page_cache_readahead().  This means
that ext3 directory reads will use all of readahead's dynamic sizing goop.

Note that we're using the directory's filp->f_ra to hold the readahead state,
but readahead is actually being performed against the underlying blockdev's
address_space.  Fortunately the readahead code is all set up to handle this.

Tested with printk.  It works.  I was struggling to find a real workload which
actually cared.

(The patch also exports page_cache_readahead() to GPL modules)

Even though, we mount ext3 filesystem in writeback mode with "nobh" option,
some one can do "chattr +j" on a single file to force it to do journalled
mode.  In order to do journaling, ext3_block_truncate_page() need to
fallback to default case of creating buffers and adding them to transaction
etc.

0adb25d2e7 [PATCH] ext3: ext3_symlink should use GFP_NOFS allocations inside
This patch fixes illegal __GFP_FS allocation inside ext3 transaction in
ext3_symlink().  Such allocation may re-enter ext3 code from
try_to_free_pages.  But JBD/ext3 code keeps a pointer to current journal
handle in task_struct and, hence, is not reentrable.

This bug led to "Assertion failure in journal_dirty_metadata()" messages.

e965f9630c [PATCH] Direct Migration V9: Avoid writeback / page_migrate() method
Migrate a page with buffers without requiring writeback

This introduces a new address space operation migratepage() that may be used
by a filesystem to implement its own version of page migration.

A version is provided that migrates buffers attached to pages.  Some
filesystems (ext2, ext3, xfs) are modified to utilize this feature.

The swapper address space operation are modified so that a regular
migrate_page() will occur for anonymous pages without writeback (migrate_pages
forces every anonymous page to have a swap entry).

I noticed some problems while running ext3 with the debug flag set on.
More precisely, I was unable to umount the filesystem.  Some investigation
took me to the patch that follows.

At a first glance , the lock/unlock I've taken out seems really not
necessary, as the main code (outside debug) does not lock the super.  The
only additional danger operations that debug code introduces seems to be
related to bitmap, but bitmap operations tends to be all atomic anyway.

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
 - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
 - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

8fc2751beb [PATCH] disk quotas fail when /etc/mtab is symlinked to /proc/mounts
If /etc/mtab is a regular file all of the mount options (of a file system)
are written to /etc/mtab by the mount command.  The quota tools look there
for the quota strings for their operation.  If, however, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts (a "good thing" in some environments) the tools
don't write anything - they assume the kernel will take care of things.

While the quota options are sent down to the kernel via the mount system
call and the file system codes handle them properly unfortunately there is
no code to echo the quota strings into /proc/mounts and the quota tools
fail in the symlink case.

The attached patchs modify the EXT[2|3] and JFS codes to add the necessary
hooks.  The show_options function of each file system in these patches
currently deal with only those things that seemed related to quotas;
especially in the EXT3 case more can be done (later?).

Jan Kara also noted the difficulty in moving these changes above the FS
codes responding similarly to myself to Andrew's comment about possible
VFS migration. Issue summary:

 - FS codes have to process the entire string of options anyway.

 - Only FS codes that use quotas must have a show_options function (for
   quotas to work properly) however quotas are only used in a small number
   of FS.

 - Since most of the quota using FS support other options these FS codes
   should have the a show_options function to show those options - and the
   quota echoing becomes virtually negligible.

Based on feedback I have modified my patches from the original:

   JFS a missing patch has been restored to the posting
   EXT[2|3] and JFS always use the show_options function
       - Each FS has at least one FS specific option displayed
       - QUOTA output is under a CONFIG_QUOTA ifdef
       - a follow-on patch will add a multitude of options for each FS
   EXT[2|3] and JFS "quota" is treated as "usrquota"
   EXT3 journalled data check for journalled quota removed
   EXT[2|3] mount when quota specified but not compiled in

 - no changes from my original patch.  I tested the patch and the codes
   warn but

 - still mount.  With all due respection I believe the comments
   otherwise were a

 - misread of the patch.  Please reread/test and comment.  XFS patch
   removed - the XFS team already made the necessary changes EXT3 mixing
   old and new quotas are handled differently (not purely exclusive)

 - if old and new quotas for the same type are used together the old
   type is silently depricated for compatability (e.g.  usrquota and
   usrjquota)

 - mixing of old and new quotas is an error (e.g.  usrjquota and
   grpquota)

cc314eef01 Fix nasty ncpfs symlink handling bug.
This bug could cause oopses and page state corruption, because ncpfs
used the generic page-cache symlink handlign functions.  But those
functions only work if the page cache is guaranteed to be "stable", ie a
page that was installed when the symlink walk was started has to still
be installed in the page cache at the end of the walk.

We could have fixed ncpfs to not use the generic helper routines, but it
is in many ways much cleaner to instead improve on the symlink walking
helper routines so that they don't require that absolute stability.

We do this by allowing "follow_link()" to return a error-pointer as a
cookie, which is fed back to the cleanup "put_link()" routine.  This
also simplifies NFS symlink handling.

21fe3471c3 [PATCH] ext3: reduce allocate-with-reservation lock latencies
Currently in ext3 block reservation code, the global filesystem reservation
tree lock (rsv_block) is hold during the process of searching for a space
to make a new reservation window, including while scaning the block bitmap
to verify if the avalible window has a free block.  Holding the lock during
bitmap scan is unnecessary and could possibly cause scalability issue and
latency issues.

This patch tries to address this by dropping the lock before scan the
bitmap.  Before that we need to reserve the open window in case someone
else is targetting at the same window.  Question was should we reserve the
whole free reservable space or just the window size we need.  Reserve the
whole free reservable space will possibly force other threads which
intended to do block allocation nearby move to another block group(cause
bad layout).  In this patch, we just reserve the desired size before drop
the lock and scan the block bitmap.  This patch fixed a ext3 reservation
latency issue seen on a cvs check out test.  Patch is tested with many fsx,
tiobench, dbench and untar a kernel test.

files or directories are missing on exported ext3 filesystems.

ext3_get_parent() is IMHO the wrong place to fix this bug as it introduces
a lot of internals from htree into that function.  Instead, I think this
should be fixed in ext3_find_entry() as in the below patch.  This has the
added advantage that it works for any callers of ext3_find_entry() and not
just ext3_lookup_parent().

301216244b [PATCH] Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.
Avoid console spam with ext3 aborted journal.

ext3 usually reports error conditions that it detects in its environment.
But when its journal gets aborted due to such errors, it can sometimes
continue to report that condition forever, spamming the console to such
an extent that the initial first cause of the journal abort can be lost.

When the journal aborts, we put the filesystem into readonly mode.  Most
subsequent filesystem operations will get rejected immediately by checks
for MS_RDONLY either in the filesystem or in the VFS.  But some paths do
not have such checks --- for example, if we continue to write to a file
handle that was opened before the fs went readonly.  (We only check for
the ROFS condition when the file is first opened.)  In these cases, we
can continue to generate log errors similar to

EXT3-fs error (device $DEV) in start_transaction: Journal has aborted

for each subsequent write.

There is really no point in generating these errors after the initial
error has been fully reported.  Specifically, if we're starting a
completely new filesystem operation, and the filesystem is *already*
readonly (ie. the ext3 layer has already detected and handled the
underlying jbd abort), and we see an EROFS error, then there is simply
no point in reporting it again.

This had a fatal lock ranking bug: we do journal_start outside
mpage_writepages()'s lock_page().

Revert the whole thing, think again.

fe55c45236 [PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_block
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around
ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch().  The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode.  So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.

We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not.  If it has been changed, then get the updated branch.  If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().

The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic.  The patch
also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more
readable.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
