When the caller specifies to JGit in advance that a ref-update is a
non-fast-forward update, and that those are permitted, we should never
need to call the potentially expensive isMergedInto() check. Re-checking
that the older commit is /not/ reachable from the newer is superfluous.

Formerly the 4-arg constructor did not do this, which was unfortunate
as that constructor's the only way for an external user of JGit to set
the /type/ of the ref-update - which you might want to do to indicate
that the update is expected to be a UPDATE_NONFASTFORWARD, and thus does
not require expensive isMergedInto() calculations:

I was seeing output like this while running The BFG:

Updating references:    200% (374/187)

...issue sneaked in with 5cf53fda I think.

The update call is also moved to the end of the loop, as update() is
only supposed to be called after work has been done ("Denote that some
work units have been completed").

Instead of re-reading all refs after each update, execute
the deletes first, then read all refs once and perform
the check for conflicting ref names in memory.

This breaks all existing callers once. Applications are not supposed
to build against the internal storage API unless they can accept API
churn and make necessary updates as versions change.

JGit was not able to lookup refs which had the name of files which exist
in the .git folder. When JGit was looking up a ref named X it has a
fixed set of directories where it searched for files named X
(ignore packed refs for now). First directory to search for is .git. In
case of the ref named 'config' it searched there for this file, found it
(it's the .git/config file with the repo configuration in it), parsed
it, found it is an invalid ref and stopped searching. It never looked
for a file .git/refs/heads/config.

I changed JGit in a way that when it finds a file in GIT_DIR which
corresponds to a ref name and if this file doesn't contain a valid ref
then it will ignore the InvalidObjectIdException and continue searching.

Implements a garbage collector for FileRepositories. Main ideas are
copied from the garbage collector for DFS based repos
(DfsGarbageCollector). Added functionalities are
- pruning loose objects
- handling of the index
- packing refs
- handling of reflogs (objects referenced from reflog will not be
pruned/)

These are features of a GC which are not handled in this change and
which should come with subsequent changes:
- unpacking packed objects into loose objects (to support that pruning
packed objects doesn't delete them until they are older than two weeks)
- expiration of reflogs
- support for configuration parameters (e.g. gc.pruneExpire)

Previously if a packed-refs file was racily clean then there
was a 2.5 second window in which each call to getPackedRefs
would increment the mod count causing a RefsChangedEvent to be
fired since the FileSnapshot would report the file as modified.

If a RefsChangedListener called getRef/getRefs from the
onRefsChanged method then a StackOverflowError could occur
since the stack could be exhausted before the 2.5 second
window expired and the packed-refs file would no longer
report being modified.

Now a SHA-1 is computed of the packed-refs file and the
mod count is only incremented when the packed refs are
successfully set and the id of the new packed-refs file
does not match the id of the old packed-refs file.

A set of ref names like ('a/b' and 'a+b') would cause the RefDirectory
to think that the set of refs have changed because it traversed the
'a' directory in the subtree before looking at 'a+b', but it then
compared with the know refs which are sorted with 'a+b' first.

Fix this by traversing the refs tree in another order. Treat a directory
as if they ends with a '/' before deciding on the order to traverse
the refs tree.

Since this change may affect performance and memory consumption on every
access to a loose ref I explicitly made it a RFC to collect opinions.

Previously RefDirectory.scanRef() was not detecting an update of a
loose ref when the update didn't changed the modification time of
the backing file. RefDirectory cached loose refs and the way to detect
outdated cache entries was to compare lastmodification timestamp on the
file representing the ref. If two updates to the same ref happen faster
than the filesystem-timer granularity (for linux this is 2 seconds)
there is the possiblity that we don't detect the update.

Because of this bug EGit's PushOperationTest only works with 2 second
sleeps inside.

This change let RefDirectory use FileSnapshot to detect such situations.
FileSnapshot helps to remember when a file was last read from disk and
therefore enables to decide when to load a file from disk although
modification time has not changed.

RefDirectory did not correctly follow the contract of RefList.  The
contract says if you use add() method of RefList builder, you MUST
sort() it afterwards, and later every other method assumes that list
is properly sorted (especially the binary search in the find() and
get() methods).  Instead RefDirectory class tried to scan the refs
recursively while sorting every folder in the process before
processing and did not call sort().

For example, when scanning the contents of refs/tags project1 string
is smaller than project1-*, so it will recursively go into the folder
and add these tags first and only then will add project-* ones. This
will result in a broken list (any project1-* string is less than
project1/* one, but they all appear after them in the list), that's
why binary search will fail making loose RefList and the whole local
RefMap completely unusable.

Instead of tracking the length and modification time by hand, rely
on FileSnapshot to tell RefDirectory when the $GIT_DIR/packed-refs

Eclipse has some problem re-running single JUnit tests if
the tests are in Junit 3 format, but the JUnit 4 launcher
is used. This was quite unnecessary and the move was not
completed. We still have no JUnit4 test.

This completes the extermination of JUnit3. Most of the
work was global searce/replace using regular expression,
followed by numerous invocarions of quick-fix and organize
imports and verification that we had the same number of
tests before and after.

- Annotations were introduced.
- All references to JUnit3 classes removed
- Half-good replacement for getting the test name. This was
  needed to make the TestRngs work. The initialization of
  TestRngs was also made lazily since we can not longer find
  out the test name in runtime in the @Before methods.
- Renamed test classes to end with Test, with the exception
  of TestTranslateBundle, which fails from Maven
- Moved JGitTestUtil to the junit support bundle

This move isolates all of the local file specific implementation code
into a single package, where their package-private methods and support
classes are properly hidden away from the rest of the core library.

Because of the sheer number of files impacted, I have limited this
change to only the renames and the updated imports.

This commit actually does three major changes to the way references
are handled within JGit.  Unfortunately they were easier to do as
a single massive commit than to break them up into smaller units.

Disambiguate symbolic references:
---------------------------------

  Reporting a symbolic reference such as HEAD as though it were
  any other normal reference like refs/heads/master causes subtle
  programming errors.  We have been bitten by this error on several
  occasions, as have some downstream applications written by myself.

  Instead of reporting HEAD as a reference whose name differs from
  its "original name", report it as an actual SymbolicRef object
  that the application can test the type and examine the target of.

  With this change, Ref is now an abstract type with different
  subclasses for the different types.

  In the classical example of "HEAD" being a symbolic reference to
  branch "refs/heads/master", the Repository.getAllRefs() method
  will now return:

      Map<String, Ref> all = repository.getAllRefs();
      SymbolicRef HEAD = (SymbolicRef) all.get("HEAD");
      ObjectIdRef master = (ObjectIdRef) all.get("refs/heads/master");

      assertSame(master,               HEAD.getTarget());
      assertSame(master.getObjectId(), HEAD.getObjectId());

      assertEquals("HEAD",              HEAD.getName());
      assertEquals("refs/heads/master", master.getName());

  A nice side-effect of this change is the storage type of the
  symbolic reference is no longer ambiguous with the storge type
  of the underlying reference it targets.  In the above example,
  if master was only available in the packed-refs file, then the
  following is also true:

      assertSame(Ref.Storage.LOOSE,  HEAD.getStorage());
      assertSame(Ref.Storage.PACKED, master.getStorage());

  (Prior to this change we returned the ambiguous storage of
   LOOSE_PACKED for HEAD, which was confusing since it wasn't
   actually true on disk).

  Another nice side-effect of this change is all intermediate
  symbolic references are preserved, and are therefore visible
  to the application when they walk the target chain.  We can
  now correctly inspect chains of symbolic references.

  As a result of this change the Ref.getOrigName() method has been
  removed from the API.  Applications should identify a symbolic
  reference by testing for isSymbolic() and not by using an arcane
  string comparsion between properties.

Abstract the RefDatabase storage:
---------------------------------

  RefDatabase is now abstract, similar to ObjectDatabase, and a
  new concrete implementation called RefDirectory is used for the
  traditional on-disk storage layout.  In the future we plan to
  support additional implementations, such as a pure in-memory
  RefDatabase for unit testing purposes.

Optimize RefDirectory:
----------------------

  The implementation of the in-memory reference cache, reading, and
  update routines has been completely rewritten.  Much of the code
  was heavily borrowed or cribbed from the prior implementation,
  so copyright notices have been left intact as much as possible.

  The RefDirectory cache no longer confuses symbolic references
  with normal references.  This permits the cache to resolve the
  value of a symbolic reference as late as possible, ensuring it
  is always current, without needing to maintain reverse pointers.

  The cache is now 2 sorted RefLists, rather than 3 HashMaps.
  Using sorted lists allows the implementation to reduce the
  in-memory footprint when storing many refs.  Using specialized
  types for the elements allows the code to avoid additional map
  lookups for auxiliary stat information.

  To improve scan time during getRefs(), the lists are returned via
  a copy-on-write contract.  Most callers of getRefs() do not modify
  the returned collections, so the copy-on-write semantics improves
  access on repositories with a large number of packed references.

  Iterator traversals of the returned Map<String,Ref> are performed
  using a simple merge-join of the two cache lists, ensuring we can
  perform the entire traversal in linear time as a function of the
  number of references: O(PackedRefs + LooseRefs).

  Scans of the loose reference space to update the cache run in
  O(LooseRefs log LooseRefs) time, as the directory contents
  are sorted before being merged against the in-memory cache.
  Since the majority of stable references are kept packed, there
  typically are only a handful of reference names to be sorted,
  so the sorting cost should not be very high.

  Locking is reduced during getRefs() by taking advantage of the
  copy-on-write semantics of the improved cache data structure.
  This permits concurrent readers to pull back references without
  blocking each other.  If there is contention updating the cache
  during a scan, one or more updates are simply skipped and will
  get picked up again in a future scan.

  Writing to the $GIT_DIR/packed-refs during reference delete is
  now fully atomic.  The file is locked, reparsed fresh, and written
  back out if a change is necessary.  This avoids all race conditions
  with concurrent external updates of the packed-refs file.

  The RefLogWriter class has been fully folded into RefDirectory
  and is therefore deleted.  Maintaining the reference's log is
  the responsiblity of the database implementation, and not all
  implementations will use java.io for access.

  Future work still remains to be done to abstract the ReflogReader
  class away from local disk IO.
