0fe8c13810 Allow "non-option" revision options in parse_option-enabled commands
Commands which use parse_options() but also call setup_revisions()
must do their parsing in a two step process:

  1. first, they parse all options. Anything unknown goes to
     parse_revision_opt() (which calls handle_revision_opt), which
     may claim the option or say "I don't recognize this"

  2. the non-option remainder goes to setup_revisions() to
     actually get turned into revisions

Some revision options are "non-options" in that they must be
parsed in order with their revision counterparts in
setup_revisions().  For example, "--all" functions as a
pseudo-option expanding to all refs, and "--no-walk" affects refs
after it on the command line, but not before. The revision option
parser in step 1 recognizes such options and sets them aside for
later parsing by setup_revisions().

However, the return value used from handle_revision_opt indicated
"I didn't recognize this", which was wrong. It did, and it took
appropriate action (even though that action was just deferring it
for later parsing). Thus it should return "yes, I recognized
this."

Previously, these pseudo-options generated an error when used with
parse_options parsers (currently just blame and shortlog). With
this patch, they should work fine, enabling things like "git
shortlog --all".

fdc7c81111 Compact commit template message
We recently let the user know explicitly that an empty
commit message will abort the commit. However, this adds yet
another line to the template; let's rephrase and re-wrap so
that this fits back on two lines.

This patch also makes the "fatal: empty commit message?"
warning a bit less scary, since this is now a "feature"
instead of an error. However, we retain the non-zero exit
status to indicate to callers that nothing was committed.

9b6bf4d575 Fix merge name generation in "merge in C"
When merging an early part of a branch, e.g. "git merge xyzzy~20", we were
supposed to say "branch 'xyzzy' (early part)", but it incorrectly said
"branch 'refs/heads/xy' (early part)" instead.

The logic was supposed to first strip away "~20" part to make sure that
what follows "~" is a non-zero posint, prefix it with "refs/heads/" and
ask resolve_ref() if it is a ref.  If it is, then we know xyzzy was a
branch, and we can give the correct message.

However, there were a few bugs.  First of all, the logic to build this
"true branch refname" did not count the characters correctly.  At this
point of the code, "len" is the number of trailing, non-name part of the
given extended SHA-1 expression given by the user, i.e. number of bytes in
"~20" in the above example.

In addition, the message forgot to skip "refs/heads/" it prefixed from the
output.

4fac1d3a98 archive: allow --exec and --remote without equal sign
Convert git archive to parse_options().  The parameters --remote and --exec
are still handled by their special parser.  Define them anyway in order for
them to show up in the usage notice.

Note: in a command like "git archive --prefix --remote=a/ HEAD", the string
"--remote=a/" will be interpreted as a remote option, not a prefix, because
that special parser sees it first.  If one needs such a strange prefix, it
needs to be specified like this: "git archive --prefix=--remote=a/ HEAD"
(with an equal sign).

c70115b4b1 Teach gitlinks to ie_modified() and ce_modified_check_fs()
The ie_modified() function is the workhorse for refresh_cache_entry(),
i.e. checking if an index entry that is stat-dirty actually has changes.

After running quicker check to compare cached stat information with
results from the latest lstat(2) to answer "has modification" early, the
code goes on to check if there really is a change by comparing the staged
data with what is on the filesystem by asking ce_modified_check_fs().
However, this function always said "no change" for any gitlinks that has a
directory at the corresponding path.  This made ie_modified() to miss
actual changes in the subproject.

The patch fixes this first by modifying an existing short-circuit logic
before calling the ce_modified_check_fs() function.  It knows that for any
filesystem entity to which ie_match_stat() says its data has changed, if
its cached size is nonzero then the contents cannot match, which is a
correct optimization only for blob objects.  We teach gitlink objects to
this special case, as we already know that any gitlink that
ie_match_stat() says is modified is indeed modified at this point in the
codepath.

With the above change, we could leave ce_modified_check_fs() broken, but
it also futureproofs the code by teaching it to use ce_compare_gitlink(),
instead of assuming (incorrectly) that any directory is unchanged.

6b2fbaaffc format-patch: Produce better output with --inline or --attach
This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline
and --attach.

The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last
newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.

The second change is to always write the line termination character
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to
improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email
client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline
version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the
attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

81dc2307d0 git-mv: Keep moved index entries inact
The rewrite of git-mv from a shell script to a builtin was perhaps
a little too straightforward: the git add and git rm queues were
emulated directly, which resulted in a rather complicated code and
caused an inconsistent behaviour when moving dirty index entries;
git mv would update the entry based on working tree state,
except in case of overwrites, where the new entry would still have
sha1 of the old file.

This patch introduces rename_index_entry_at() into the index toolkit,
which will rename an entry while removing any entries the new entry
might render duplicate. This is then used in git mv instead
of all the file queues, resulting in a major simplification
of the code and an inevitable change in git mv -n output format.

Also the code used to refuse renaming overwriting symlink with a regular
file and vice versa; there is no need for that.

A few new tests have been added to the testsuite to reflect this change.

a08c53a119 fsck: Don't require tmp_obj_ file names are 14 bytes in length
Not all temporary file creation routines will ensure 14 bytes are
used to generate the temporary file name.  In C Git this may be
true, but alternate implementations such as jgit are not always
able to generate a temporary file name with a specific prefix and
also ensure the file name length is 14 bytes long.

Since temporary files in a directory we are fsck'ing should be
uncommon (as they are short lived only long enough for an active
writer to finish writing the file and rename it) we shouldn't see
these show up very often.  Always using a prefixcmp() call and
ignoring the length opens up room for other implementations to use
different name generation schemes.

b6f637d199 builtin-branch: fix -v for --[no-]merged
After the optimization to --[no-]merged logic, the calculation of the
width of the longest refname to be shown might become inaccurate (since
the matching against merge_filter is performed after adding refs to
ref_list). This patch forces a recalculation of maxwidth when it might
be needed.

7950cda782 builtin-branch: factor out merge_filter matching
The logic for checking commits against merge_filter will be reused
when we recalculate the maxwidth of refnames.

346d437aab builtin-branch: remove duplicated code
The previous optimization to --[no-]merged ended up with some duplicated
code which this patch removes.

2122f8b963 rev-parse: Add support for the ^! and ^@ syntax
Those shorthands are explained in the rev-parse documentation but were not
actually supported by rev-parse itself.

gitk internally uses rev-parse to interpret its command line arguments, and
being able to use these "limit with parents" syntax is handy there.

47c6ef1c8d make sure parsed wildcard refspec ends with slash
A wildcard refspec is internally parsed into a refspec structure with src
and dst strings.  Many parts of the code assumed that these do not include
the trailing "/*" when matching the wildcard pattern with an actual ref we
see at the remote.  What this meant was that we needed to make sure not
just that the prefix matched, and also that a slash followed the part that
matched.

But a codepath that scans the result from ls-remote and finds matching
refs forgot to check the "matching part must be followed by a slash" rule.
This resulted in "refs/heads/b1" from the remote side to mistakenly match
the source side of "refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/*" refspec.

Worse, the refspec crafted internally by "git-clone", and a hardcoded
preparsed refspec that is used to implement "git-fetch --tags", violated
this "parsed widcard refspec does not end with slash" rule; simply adding
the "matching part must be followed by a slash" rule then would have
broken codepaths that use these refspecs.

This commit changes the rule to require a trailing slash to parsed
wildcard refspecs.  IOW, "refs/heads/b/*:refs/remotes/b/*" is parsed as
src = "refs/heads/b/" and dst = "refs/remotes/b/".  This allows us to
simplify the matching logic because we only need to do a prefixcmp() to
notice "refs/heads/b/one" matches and "refs/heads/b1" does not.
