  • Fix a bug in list scanning that can cause us to skip the last buffer on the
    checkpoint list (and hence fail to do any progress under some rather
    unfavorable conditions).

    The problem is we first do jh=next_jh and then test

    } while (jh!=last_jh);

    Hence we skip the last buffer on the list (if it was not the only buffer on
    the list). As we already do jh=next_jh; in the beginning of the loop we
    are safe to just remove the assignment in the end. It can happen that 'jh'
    will be freed at the point we test jh != last_jh but that does not matter
    as we never *dereference* the pointer.

  • Fix possible false assertion failure in log_do_checkpoint(). We might fail
    to detect that we actually made a progress when cleaning up the checkpoint
    lists if we don't retry after writing something to disk. The patch was
    confirmed to fix observed assertion failures for several users.

    When we flushed some buffers we need to retry scanning the list.
    Otherwise we can fail to detect our progress.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
