Some Git commands are implemented as Perl scripts. Some of these
scripts use Perl modules from CPAN. Without wrapping these programs to
set `GITPERLLIB`, these programs would not be fully functional because
some Perl libraries are found to be missing at runtime.
Fixes#29996
Several git commands are implemented as shell scripts that run awk, sed, grep
and perl. There is some existing patching in the postinstall for perl to rewrite
it to an absolute reference to pkgs.perl, but several other packages are both
missing as a dependency and have no rewrite logic.
In particular git filter-branch depends on sed and grep.
Additionally, the perl logic also seds git-am, which is now a binary not a shell
script anymore (see <github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/am.c>), so this part
was obsolete.
I tested this by grepping all shell scripts for the relevant commands and then
comparing the diffs of the new version to what is produced in master. All
changes in the scripts seem good to me.
Improve patching of curl to use NIX_SSL_CERT_FILE as default CA
Remove patches from git, as git uses curl and passes its environment
variables to curl.
CGI.pm was removed from Perl core in v5.22, breaking the gitweb.cgi
script and thus NixOS' services.lighttpd.gitweb. Nixpkgs switched to
Perl 5.22 with a85ba820a4 ("perl: Make 5.22 the default").
Fix it by bringing in the Perl CGI module (and dependency HTMLParser).
The closure size of "nix-build -A git" increase by 1 MiB, to 201 MiB.
There are a lot of scripts in contrib (e.g. `diff-highlight`) that
contain perl shebang line. But `patchShebangs` is unablle to fix this
without explicitly listing `perl` in `buildInputs`.
This allows git to work on systems without
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, such as OS X, instead of failing
with "error setting certificate verify locations".
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow

The attached patch removes a whole swath of unnecessary runtime gettext
detection. It also adds gettext on the PATH so that git-rebase can find it.
This makes it easier for tools (like Phabricator) to find
git-http-backend to enable HTTP(S) transport support.

Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
This reverts commit 88b5578a57 because of the
following issues:
1) If $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is set in the current shell environment, then
its value will overwrite any settings the user may have configured in
http.sslCAInfo via git-config(1). If you are unaware of the wrapper, then
this behavior is totally unexpected as $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE is not
supposed to have an effect on Git.
2) The patch makes it impossible for Git users to use the $GIT_SSL_CAINFO
environment variable as documented in git-config(1), because anything set
there will be overwritten with the value of $OPENSSL_X509_CERT_FILE (which
might be empty).
3) The patch breaks other builds of packages that depend on Git, i.e.
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/11995872/nixlog/1/raw>.
Conflict in kerberos, which was updated both in master and in
stdenv-updates. Kept the stdenv-updates version, except pulled in the
enableParallelBuilding change from master.

Git's Makefile has a NO_INSTALL_HARDLINKS flag to produce symlinks
instead of hard links. However, it still produces hard links between
$out/bin and $out/libexec, hence the patch.
Also, update Git to 1.8.2.1.

Commit 1764ea2b0a introduced changes to libxslt
in an awkward way to avoid re-builds on Linux. This patch has been simplified
during this merge.
Our hard-linking code depended on md5sum, which FreeBSD doesn't have in its
system environment. To avoid that impure dependency, the hard-linking is now
done with the 'hardlink' utility from Nixpkgs.
