Do not waste resources adding every file converted to blob with spawning
`git update-index ...` per file - we can queue the info and add all
entries to index in one go.

Time to pull files part for lab.nexedi.com

before: ~110s
after:    ~3s

Time for restoring kirr/slapos.git from lab.nexedi.com backup

before: 7.4s
after:  5.6s

We can reuse ReadObject() like for blob_to_file().

We cannot drop xload_tag() in favor of Repository.LookupTag() because
upon tag loading we need to have not only parsed tag, but also its raw
content for encoding in another object.

Time for restoring kirr/slapos.git from lab.nexedi.com backup

before: 8.9s
after:  7.4s

( it goes down because on restore restored tags are reencoded again to
  verify restoration was ok. Pulling time should go down appropriately
  as well )

Substituting `git cat-file` to Odb.Read() and `git hash-object -w` to
Odb.Write().

Timing for restoring only files from lab.nexedi.com backup:

before: ~95s
after:   ~8s

Timings for making backup in file part should have similar effect.

This saves us one `git cat-file` call per recreated tag.

Time for restoring kirr/slapos.git from lab.nexedi.com backup

before: 10.3s
after:   8.9s

Currently for every file -> blob, and blob -> file we invoke git
subprocess (cat-file or hash-object). We also invoke git subprocess for
every tag read/write and the same for commits and this 1-subprocess per
1 object has very high overhead.

The ways to avoid such overhead could be:

1) for every kind of operation spawn git service process, like e.g.
   `git cat-file --batch` for reading files, and only do request/reply
   per object with it.

2) use some go library to work with git repository ourselves.

"1" can work but:

    - at present there is no counterpart of `cat-file --batch` for
      e.g. `hash-object` - i.e. we cannot write objects without quirks
      or patching git.

    - even if we add support for hashing via request/reply, as all
      requests are processed sequentially on git side by e.g. `git
      cat-file --batch`, we won't be able to leverage parallelism.

    - request/reply has also latency attached.

For "2" we have roughly the following choices:

    - use cgo bindings to libgit2   (git2go)

    - use some pure-go git library

Pure-go approach has pros that it by design avoids problems related to
tricky CGo pointer C <-> Go passing rules. The fact that this was sorted
out by go team itself only during 1.6 cycle

    https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12416

tells a lot. The net is full of examples where those were hard to get,
and git2go in particular has a story of e.g. heap corruption (the bug
was on golang itself side and fixed only for 1.5)

    https://github.com/libgit2/git2go/issues/223
    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/Vi1HD-54BTA/discussion

However there is no good (to my knowledge) pure-go git library, and the
family of forks around github.com/speedata/gogit either:

    - works 3x slower compared to git2go

      ( or the same 3x in serial mode compared to e.g. `git cat-file --batch`
        as in serial mode git subservice and git2go has roughly similar performance )

    - or does not work at all (e.g. barfing out on REF_DELTA pack
      entries, etc)

So because of 3x slowdown, pure-go way is currently a no-runner.

Since one person from golang team cared to update git2go to properly
follow the CGo rules

    https://github.com/libgit2/git2go/pull/282

we can be relatively confident about git2go bindings quality and try to
use it.

This commit only hooks git2go into the build, subcommands and to Sha1
for to/from Oid conversion. We'll be switching places to git2go
incrementally in upcoming patches.

NOTE for now we need git2go from next branch for

    https://github.com/libgit2/git2go/commit/cf7553e7

The plan is to eventually switch to

    gopkg.in/libgit2/git2go.v25

once it is out.

We are going to use git2go (see next patch) for which canonical import
path is git (import "github.com/libgit2/git2go" results in package name
being autotruncated to just "git") so free up the "git" name for that
package.

Reason is: git() - as function - is used not often, while the package
will be used often.

Regarding naming: not sure it is good choice but ggit() is something
like xgit(), only g is for "GitError".

We can do similar to what git does for blobs - searching in a window of
repositories sorted by repo basename.

In 28986e0e (Rewrite in Go) I've added mypkgname() with comment that go
escapes all '.' in function name with %2e. That turned out to be not
true: Go escapes only dots in last component after last slash, e.g.

    lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup/package%2ename.Function
    lab.nexedi.com/kirr/git-backup/pkg2.qqq/name%2ezzz.Function

Correct mypkgname() accordingly.

Noted while trying to run git-backup in a GOPATH root, not as
standalone.

erraddcallingcontext() already tries not to go beyond raise, but since
raiseif wes calling raise, it was omitting raiseif but not raise itself.
So an error could be like this

    cmd_restore: raiseif: mkdir ../R/1: file exists

while it should be

    cmd_restore: mkdir ../R/1: file exists

Fix it.

when/if we ever get to need them.

It was a default leftover to autodetect object type if obj_type=None,
from the beginning - from bbee44ce (Start of git-backup.git) - because
even there obj_represent_as_commit() is always called with obj_type
explicitly passed in.

So remove the leftover.

This is more-or-less 1-to-1 port of git-backup to Go. There are things
we handle a bit differently:

- there is a separate type for Sha1
- conversion of repo paths to git references is now more robust wrt
  avoiding not-allowed in git constructs like ".." or ".lock"

  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/git/git.git/tree/refs.c?h=v2.9.0-37-g6d523a3#n34

The rewrite happened because we need to optimize restore, and for e.g.
parallelizing part it should be convenient to use goroutines and channels.

I'm not very comfortable with how error handling is done, because
contrary to what canonical Go way seems to be, in a lot of places it still
looks to me exceptions are better idea compared to just error codes,
though in many places just error codes are better and makes more sense.
Probably there will be less exceptions over time once the code starts to
be collaborating set of goroutines with communications done via
channels.

Still a lot of python habits on my side.

And as a bonus we now have end-to-end pull/restore tests...

Bug present since the beginning: 6f237f22 (git-backup: Initial draft).

Even though we delete all temporary refs after pull, git leaves empty
directories in the place where the refs were - for example if there was
a ref

    dir/ref

and we delete ref `ref`, empty dir/ is still leaved there.

That increasingly hurts next pull performance a lot - before pulling git
wants to scan all local refs, and while doing so it descends into all
directories under refs/.

As after several pulls we can have many such empty directories under
refs/backup/, this scanning can take quite some time: e.g. for
lab.nexedi.com normal pull currently takes ~3 minutes, but after doing
pull ~60 times, it can become as bad as ~10 minutes for one pull. And
all that slowness goes away after cleaning refs/backup/ manually.

/cc https://lab.nexedi.com/lab.nexedi.com/lab.nexedi.com/issues/4

Same story as in e.g.

    kirr/wendelin.core@b0b2c52e

( in short: GitLab now prepends namespace/repo/blob/ref/ prefix by
  itself )

No need to compute that twice. My mistake from original 6f237f22
(git-backup: Initial draft).

README.txt was renamed -> README.rst in a695bdbe (readme: .txt -> .rst)

Add a short introduction which outlines what gitlab-backup program does.

Following up on 48062989 (gitlab-backup/restore: Gitlab wants uploads/
to be 0750 and dirs inside uploads/ to be 0755):

Starting from 8.5:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/4f946f03

GitLab wants uploads/ to be 0700 and dirs inside uploads/ to be 0700
too.

ln has several syntaxes. man ln 1 ln:

   SYNOPSIS
          ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME   (1st form)
          ln [OPTION]... TARGET                  (2nd form)
          ln [OPTION]... TARGET... DIRECTORY     (3rd form)
          ln [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY TARGET...  (4th form)

so without -T or -t what is target and what is link name is ambiguous and
ln tries to guess. Now imagine:

    ln -sf /path/to/new/hook    $H

and let us consider that $H is already a symlink, pointing to some place
which _exists_, but current user do not have access to. Then ln will
complain:

    ln: accessing `$H': Permission denied

and abort.

Fix it by specifying ln form we use explicitly with -T.

On restore we were initializing refs/ and objects/ for repositories
obtained from backuped refs set, but this approach does not cover empty
repositories - e.g. repositories without any ref at all.

A frequent case for this is *.wiki.git in gitlab, and if we restore only
files for such repo, without empty refs/ and objects/ it would look like
restored ok, but any git-related operation on such repo will fail.

Fix it via making sure to create refs/ and objects/ the first time we
see a *.git while restoring files.

Add comments about what each function does, and add appropriate echo
which were missing in several pull & restore places.

- don't start/stop services - we assume appropriate services start/stop
  will be done bu invoker, and tell people to do so via dumping proper
  comments. (Rationale: services are start/stopped differently on
  different systems, e.g. in omnibus and in slapos)

- mv in repositories atomically with just 1 mv + fix case when there was
  no repositories/ previously at all.

- adjust `gitlab-rake gitlab:backup:restore` with force=yes, so it does
  not interactively ask about whether ok to restore ssh keys - just do it.

- add `-go` option to actually run gitlab restoration in addition to
  preparing backup files.

/cc @kazuhiko

Currently GitLab backup restoration works on exactly the same GitLab
version, as the one with which the backup was made:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/7383453b/lib/backup/manager.rb#L132

However in many cases restoring backup on a newer GitLab version is
desirable - e.g. when moving GitLab instance to upgraded software.
GitLab answer - that we should first prepare exactly the same GitLab
version on moved instance, restore backup, then upgrade GitLab itself
_inplace_, is not satisfactory in e.g. slapos case - as upgrading can
take a long time, and in-place software changes can render GitLab
instance non-working.

What we better prefer to do is to fully prepare new GitLab software
version, and then knowing software is ready, restore backup in a quick
manner.

The following analysis says we should be 99% ok to do so:

1. git-backup cares backward compatibility for format of repositories backup.
2. db dump is backward compatible, because Rails, when seeing old db
   schema, will run migrations.
3. the rest is relatively minor - e.g. uploads, which is just files in
   tar, and format for such things changes seldomly.

because of 3, strictly speaking, it is not 100% correct to restore
backup from older gitlab version to newer one (since gitlab does not
provide a promise of backward compatibility on e.g. uploads/ backup
format) , but in practice it is 99% correct and is usually handy.

/cc @kazuhiko

As with repositories (see patch "gitlab-backup/restore: GitLab wants
repositories to be drwxrws---") Gitlab wants proper permissions for
uploads/ - else the following check fail

    Uploads directory setup correctly? ... no
      Try fixing it:
      sudo chmod 0750 .../var/gitlab/uploads
      For more information see:
      doc/install/installation.md in section "GitLab"
      Please fix the error above and rerun the checks.

    Uploads directory setup correctly? ... no
      Try fixing it:
      sudo chown -R slapuser14 .../var/gitlab/uploads
      sudo find .../var/gitlab/uploads -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;
      sudo find .../var/gitlab/uploads -type d -not -path .../var/gitlab/uploads -exec chmod 0755 {} \;

and files are not served back from uploads - e.g. there is no uploaded icons shown.

/cc @kazuhiko

By design Gitlab currently symlinks *.git/hooks to hooks in gitlab-shell
working tree. As when restoring backup on different machine gitlab-shell
worktree can be located in another place, all hooks needs to be adjusted
upon restoration.

Btw, Gitlab itself does the same:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/7383453b/lib/backup/repository.rb#L103
    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/1d03fa2e

/cc @kazuhiko

As git-backup does not currently preserve file persmissions fully, we
need to adjust them on restore. For repositories after restore the
following gitlab check currently fails:

    Repo base access is drwxrws---? ... no

Fix it.

/cc @kazuhiko

As was outlined 2 patches before (gitlab-backup: Dump DB ourselves),
currently DB dump is not git friendly, because for each table dump is
just one (potentially large) file and grows over time. In Gitlab there
is one big table which dominates ~95% of whole dump size.

So to avoid overloading git with large blobs, let's split each table to
parts <= 16M in size, so this way we do not store very large blobs in
git, with which it is inefficient.

The fact that table data is sorted (see previous patch) helps the
splitting result to be more-or-less stable - as we split not purely by
byte size, but by lines, and max size 16M is only approximate, if a row
is changed in a part, it will be splitted the same way on the next
backup run.

This works not so good, when row entries are large itself (e.g. for big
patches which change a lot of files with big diff). For such cases
splitting can be improved with splitting by edges found similar to e.g.
bup[1] - by finding nodes of a rolling checksum, but for now we are
staying with more simple way of doing the split.

This reduce load on git packing (for e.g. repack or when doing fetch and
push) a lot.

As was outlined in previous patch, DB dump is currently not git/rsync
friendly because order of rows in PostgreSQL dump constantly changes:

pg_dump dumps table data with `COPY ... TO stdout` which does not guaranty any ordering -
  http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c;h=aa01d6a6;hb=HEAD#l1590
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24622579/does-or-can-the-postgresql-copy-to-command-guarantee-a-particular-row-order
- in fact it dumps data as stored raw in DB pages, and every record update changes row order.

On the other hand, Rails by default adds integer `id` first column to
every table as convention -
  http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_basics.html
and GitLab does not override this. So we can sort tables on id and this
way make data order stable.

And even if there is no id column we can sort - as COPY does not
guarantee ordering, we can change the order of rows in _whatever_ way and
the dump will still be correct.

This change helps git a lot to find good object deltas in less time, and
it should also help rsync to find less delta between backup dumps.

NOTE no changes are needed on restore side at all - the dump stays valid
    - sorted or not, and restores to semantically the same DB, even if
    internal rows ordering is different.

/cc @kazuhiko

The reason to do this is that we want to have more control over DB dump
process. Current problems which lead to this decision are:

    1. DB dump is one large file which size grows over time. This is not
       friendly to git;

    2. DB dump is currently not git/rsync friendly - when PostgreSQL
       does a dump, it just copes internal pages for data to output.
       And internal ordering changes every time a row is updated.

        http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=blob;f=src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c;h=aa01d6a6;hb=HEAD#l1590
        http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24622579/does-or-can-the-postgresql-copy-to-command-guarantee-a-particular-row-order

both 1 and 2 currently put our backup tool to their knees. We'll be
handling those issues in the following patches.

For now we perform the dump manually and switch from dumping in
plain-text SQL to dumping in PostgreSQL native "directory" format, where
there is small table of contents with schema (toc.dat) and output of
`COPY <table> TO stdout` for each table in separate file.

    http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/app-pgdump.html

On restore we restore plain-text SQL with pg_restore and give this
plain-text SQL back to gitlab, so it thinks it restores it the usual way.

NOTE: backward compatibility is preserved - restore part, if it sees
    backup made by older version of gitlab-backup, which dumps
    database.sql in plain text - restores it correctly.

NOTE2: now gitlab-backup supports only PostgreSQL (e.g. not MySQL).
    Adding support for other databases is possible, but requires custom
    handler for every DB (or just a fallback to usual plaintext maybe).

NOTE3: even as we split DB into separate tables, this does not currently
    help problem #1, as in GitLab it is mostly just one table which
    occupies the whole space.

/cc @kazuhiko

For now having $tmpd worked ok, but in the next patch, we are going to
pass this directory to a command, which, when run, automatically changes
its working directory as a first step, so passing $tmpd as relative
pathname won't work for it.

So switch $tmpd to be an absolute path.

/cc @kazuhiko

In the following patches we will be adding more and more settings to
read from gitlab config, so structure of code which does this is better
prepared:

    - part that emits the settings (in Ruby) is now multiline
    - we prepare shortcuts c & s which are Gitlab.config and
      Gitlab.config.gitlab_shell
    - in the end there is "END" emitted, and the reader checks this to
      make sure generate and read parts stay in sync.

/cc @kazuhiko

It works ok without it:

    ---- 8< ---- z.sh
    #!/bin/bash -e

    {
        read A
        read B
    } < <(echo -e 'AAA\nBBB')

    echo $A
    echo $B
    ---- 8< ----

    $ ./z.sh
    AAA
    BBB
    $ echo $?
    0

/cc @kazuhiko

In 495bd2fa (gitlab-backup: Unpack *.tar.gz before storing them in git)
we used find(1) to find *.tar.gz and unpack/repack them on
backup/restore. However `find -exec ...` does not stop on errors and
does not report them. Compare:

    ---- 8< ---- x.sh
    #!/bin/bash -e

    echo AAA
    find . -exec false ';'
    echo BBB
    ---- 8< ----

    ---- 8< ---- y.sh
    #!/bin/bash -e

    echo XXX
    find . | \
    while read F; do
        false
    done
    echo YYY
    ---- 8< ----

    $ ./x.sh
    AAA
    BBB
    $ echo $?
    0

    $ ./y.sh
    XXX
    $ echo $?
    1

So we switch to second style where find passes entries to processing
program via channel. This second new style is also more clean, in my view,
because listing and processing parts are now more better structured.

/cc @kazuhiko

Starting from 8.2 GitLab backups uploads and other directories not just
as set of files, but as one tarball:

    https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/d3734fbd

and this does not play well with git - now objects are stored as a
one big whole, compressed, so git cannot find good deltas.

So to help git properly deltify and find duplicates, let's unpack/repack
the archives, the same way we already do for database.sql.gz

Since objects are shared between backed up repositories, it is important
to make sure we do not pull a broken object once, thus programming
future corruption of that object after restore in all repositories which
use it.

Object corruption could happen for two reasons:

    - plain storage corruption, or
    - someone intentionally pushing corrupted object with known sha1 to
      any repository.

Second case is even more dangerous, as it potentially allows attacker to
change data in not-available-to-him repositories.

Now objects are checked on pull, and if corrupt, git-backup complains,
e.g. this way:

    RuntimeError: git -c fetch.fsckObjects=true fetch --no-tags ../D/corrupt.git refs/*:refs/backup/20151014-1914/aaa/corrupt.git/*
    error: inflate: data stream error (incorrect data check)
    fatal: loose object 52baccfe8479b61c2a0d5447bc0a6bf7c6827c60 (stored in ./objects/52/baccfe8479b61c2a0d5447bc0a6bf7c6827c60) is corrupt
    fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Current hostings don't recognize .txt as being reStructuredText, so
let's be explicit, so readme gets automatically rendered.
