There are a few scenarios where a ticket without a patchset should not
display propose instructions.

1. the ticket is resolved
2. the repository is configured to reject new patchsets or is read-only
3. the server is configured to reject new patchsets

A basic issue tracker styled as a hybrid of GitHub and BitBucket issues.
You may attach commits to an existing ticket or you can push a single
commit to create a *proposal* ticket.

Tickets keep track of patchsets (one or more commits) and allow patchset
rewriting (rebase, amend, squash) by detecing the non-fast-forward
update and assigning a new patchset number to the new commits.

Ticket tracker
--------------

The ticket tracker stores tickets as an append-only journal of changes.
The journals are deserialized and a ticket is built by applying the
journal entries.  Tickets are indexed using Apache Lucene and all
queries and searches are executed against this Lucene index.

There is one trade-off to this persistence design: user attributions are
non-relational.

What does that mean?  Each journal entry stores the username of the
author.  If the username changes in the user service, the journal entry
will not reflect that change because the values are hard-coded.

Here are a few reasons/justifications for this design choice:

1. commit identifications (author, committer, tagger) are non-relational
2. maintains the KISS principle
3. your favorite text editor can still be your administration tool

Persistence Choices
-------------------

**FileTicketService**: stores journals on the filesystem
**BranchTicketService**: stores journals on an orphan branch
**RedisTicketService**: stores journals in a Redis key-value datastore

It should be relatively straight-forward to develop other backends
(MongoDB, etc) as long as the journal design is preserved.

Pushing Commits
---------------

Each push to a ticket is identified as a patchset revision.  A patchset
revision may add commits to the patchset (fast-forward) OR a patchset
revision may rewrite history (rebase, squash, rebase+squash, or amend).
Patchset authors should not be afraid to polish, revise, and rewrite
their code before merging into the proposed branch.

Gitblit will create one ref for each patchset.  These refs are updated
for fast-forward pushes or created for rewrites.  They are formatted as
`refs/tickets/{shard}/{id}/{patchset}`.  The *shard*  is the last two
digits of the id.  If the id < 10, prefix a 0.  The *shard* is always
two digits long.  The shard's purpose is to ensure Gitblit doesn't
exceed any filesystem directory limits for file creation.

**Creating a Proposal Ticket**

You may create a new change proposal ticket just by pushing a **single
commit** to `refs/for/{branch}` where branch is the proposed integration
branch OR `refs/for/new` or `refs/for/default` which both will use the
default repository branch.

    git push origin HEAD:refs/for/new

**Updating a Patchset**

The safe way to update an existing patchset is to push to the patchset
ref.

    git push origin HEAD:refs/heads/ticket/{id}

This ensures you do not accidentally create a new patchset in the event
that the patchset was updated after you last pulled.

The not-so-safe way to update an existing patchset is to push using the
magic ref.

    git push origin HEAD:refs/for/{id}

This push ref will update an exisitng patchset OR create a new patchset
if the update is non-fast-forward.

**Rebasing, Squashing, Amending**

Gitblit makes rebasing, squashing, and amending patchsets easy.

Normally, pushing a non-fast-forward update would require rewind (RW+)
repository permissions.  Gitblit provides a magic ref which will allow
ticket participants to rewrite a ticket patchset as long as the ticket
is open.

    git push origin HEAD:refs/for/{id}

Pushing changes to this ref allows the patchset authors to rebase,
squash, or amend the patchset commits without requiring client-side use
of the *--force* flag on push AND without requiring RW+ permission to
the repository.  Since each patchset is tracked with a ref it is easy to
recover from accidental non-fast-forward updates.

Change-Id: Idb7de272589e086da9b2b3a241dcd082c1c8f27b

This is a massive commit which reorganizes the entire project structure
(although it is still monolithic), removes the Build classes, and
switches to Moxie, a smarter Ant build tookit based on the original
Gitblit Build classes.

The Ant build script will likely require additional fine-tuning, but
this is big step forward.

TimeUtils needs to output localized strings like "5 days ago" and "6 months".  In order to do this it needs a translation resource.  Additionally, that resource can not be static because the single Gitblit server can handle multiple connections in different locales/languages.

TimeUtils has changed from a collection of static methods to some static methods and some instance methods.  A TimeUtils is instantiated with an optional resource bundle which contains the preferred translation.  If the resourec bundle is null or the requested translation key does not exist, an English  default will be used.

This change required adjusting the signatures of several key methods and that cascaded out to adjusting those methods calls in many, many  classes.

The current ticgit implementation is based on ticgit.net, a BSD
implementation for C#.  Jeff Welling advises using commit
bf57b032e0 (2009-01-27) from ticgit as the last MIT licensed
commit.

A more complete implementation will be based on this version of the
original Ruby sources.  It remains unclear if I will support using the
"ticgit" branch name or not.  I purposefully haven't looked at any of
the GPL improvements by Jeff, but I can see from the readme at GitHub
that he has renamed the branch to "ticgit-ng" which I have no plans on
supporting as I do not want to taint GitBlit with GPL code.

Settings access has been abstracted and the way is becoming clear to
offer a WAR build in addition to the integrated server stack.  Util
methods moved around.
