move code for reading Git's config file into new file read_gitconfig_privsep.c
The end goal here is to remove the dependency of repository.c on privsep.c during compilation.
move functions which open objects into new file object_open_privsep.c
For the future, this will make it possible to provide alternative implementations of functions now stored in object_open_privsep.c. This will probably be needed by future gotd(8) which runs inside a chroot(2) environment and without the "exec" pledge(2) promise, making it impossible to run libexec helpers on the fly. Details of this design are not yet settled, but moving functions into a separate compilation unit won't hurt in any case.
create and verify tags signed by SSH keys
This adds a new -s flag to 'got tag' that specifies the signer identity (for example, a key file) of the tagger. The tag object will include a signature that validates each of the tag object headers and the tag message. Verifying these signed tags requires maintaining an allowed signers file which maps signer identities (i.e. the email address of the tagger) to SSH public keys. See ssh-keygen(1) for more details of the allowed signers file. After creating this file and providing the path to it in got.conf(5) using the allowed_signers option, tags may be verified using with 'got tag -V tag_name'. The return code will be non-zero if a signature fails to verify. ok stsp@
let gotadmin find the repository automatically if invoked in a work tree
Move a small amount of code from worktree.c to a new file worktree_open.c, which contains everything required to open and close a work tree and inspect some of its basic parameters. This can be used by gotadmin. ok tracey
merge new diff implementation from the git.gameoftrees.org diff.git repository
This new diff implementation was started by Neels Hofmeyr during the u2k20 hackathon and now replaces diffreg.c code lifted from the OpenBSD base system. The integration of this code into Got was done by me. Got now uses the patience diff algorithm by default. The diff.git repository will remain the primary repository for the diff code, which already compiles and runs on other operating systems such as Linux. Any fixes and improvements for files inherited from the diff.git repository should be written against that repository and synced to got.git afterwards.
fix and simplify blame algorithm
Always diff against latest version of file. This is much easier since there is no need to keep track of lines shifting around.
