The "-l" option in "git branch -l" is an unfortunate short-hand for

it to be something else, perhaps "--list".  This step warns when "-l"

2122f6754c commit: add repository argument to lookup_commit_reference
Add a repository argument to allow callers of lookup_commit_reference
to be more specific about which repository to handle. This is a small
mechanical change; it doesn't change the implementation to handle
repositories other than the_repository yet.

As with the previous commits, use a macro to catch callers passing a
repository other than the_repository at compile time.

a15d598124 branch: make "-l" a synonym for "--list"
The other "mode" options of git-branch have short-option
aliases that are easy to type (e.g., "-d" and "-m"). Let's
give "--list" the same treatment.

This also makes it consistent with the similar "git tag -l"
option.

We didn't do this originally because "--create-reflog" was
squatting on the "-l" option. Now that we've deprecated that
use for long enough, we can make the switch.

055930bc89 branch: deprecate "-l" option
The "-l" option is short for "--create-reflog". This has
caused much confusion over the years. Most people expect it
to work as "--list", because that would match the other
"mode" options like -d/--delete and -m/--move, as well as
the similar -l/--list option of git-tag.

Adding to the confusion, using "-l" _appears_ to work as
"--list" in some cases:

  $ git branch -l
  * master

because the branch command defaults to listing (so even
trying to specify --list in the command above is redundant).
But that may bite the user later when they add a pattern,
like:

  $ git branch -l foo

which does not return an empty list, but in fact creates a
new branch (with a reflog, naturally) called "foo".

It's also probably quite uncommon for people to actually use
"-l" to create a reflog. Since 0bee591869 (Enable reflogs by
default in any repository with a working directory.,
2006-12-14), this is the default in non-bare repositories.
So it's rather unfortunate that the feature squats on the
short-and-sweet "-l" (which was only added in 3a4b3f269c
(Create/delete branch ref logs., 2006-05-19), meaning there
were only 7 months where it was actually useful).

Let's deprecate "-l" in hopes of eventually re-purposing it
to "--list".

Note that we issue the warning only when we're not in list
mode. This means that people for whom it works as a happy
accident, namely:

  $ git branch -l
  master

won't see the warning at all. And when we eventually switch
to it meaning "--list", that will just continue to work.

We do the issue the warning for these important cases:

  - when we are actually creating a branch, in case the user
    really did mean it as "--create-reflog"

  - when we are in some _other_ mode, like deletion. There
    the "-l" is a noop for now, but it will eventually
    conflict with any other mode request, and the user
    should be told that this is changing.

3ac68a93fd help: add --config to list all available config
Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can
search for something they want. The config man page can also be used
but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name,
for example.

This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's
not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C
code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work.
This will do for now.

a73b3680c4 Add and use generic name->id mapping code for color slot parsing
Instead of hard coding the name-to-id mapping in C code, keep it in an
array and use a common function to do the parsing. This reduces code
and also allows us to list all possible color slots later.

This starts using C99 designated initializers more for convenience
(the first designated initializers have been introduced in builtin/clean.c
for some time without complaints)

033abf97fc Replace all die("BUG: ...") calls by BUG() ones
In d8193743e0 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae5
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).

The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.

Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.

This trick was performed by this invocation:

	sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

3019eca918 ref-filter: start adding strbufs with errors
This is a first step in removing die() calls from ref-filter
formatting logic, so that it could be used by other commands
that do not want to die during formatting process.
die() calls related to bugs in code will not be touched in this patch.

Everything would be the same for show_ref_array_item() users.
But, if you want to deal with errors by your own, you could invoke
format_ref_array_item(). It means that you need to print everything
(the result and errors) on your side.

This commit changes signature of format_ref_array_item() by adding
return value and strbuf parameter for errors, and adjusts
its callers. While at it, reduce the scope of the out-variable.

a48ebe9724 branch: update warning message shown when copying a misnamed branch
When a user tries to rename a branch that has a "bad name" (e.g.,
starts with a '-') then we warn them that the misnamed branch has
been renamed "away". A similar message is shown when trying to create
a copy of a misnamed branch even though it doesn't remove the misnamed
branch. This is not correct and may confuse the user.

So, update the warning message shown to be more precise that only a copy
of the misnamed branch has been created. It's better to show the warning
message than not showing it at all as it makes the user aware of the
presence of a misnamed branch.

d74b541e0b branch: respect pager.branch in list-mode only
Similar to de121ffe5 (tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only,
2017-08-02), use the DELAY_PAGER_CONFIG-mechanism to only respect
`pager.branch` when we are listing branches.

We have two possibilities of generalizing what that earlier commit made
to `git tag`. One is to interpret, e.g., --set-upstream-to as "it does
not use an editor, so we should page". Another, the one taken by this
commit, is to say "it does not list, so let's not page". That is in line
with the approach of the series on `pager.tag` and in particular the
wording in Documentation/git-tag.txt, which this commit reuses for
git-branch.txt.

This fixes the failing test added in the previous commit. Also adapt the
test for whether `git branch --set-upstream-to` respects `pager.branch`.

This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply

33c643bb08 Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8f.

That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.

But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.

Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:

  1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
     only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
     haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.

  2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
     "never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
     is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
     we had before v2.14.2.

Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

update them to pass a pointer to the struct directly,

This transformation was done with an update to declaration and
definition and the following semantic patch:

@@
expression E1, E2, E3, E4;
@@
- resolve_refdup(E1, E2, E3.hash, E4)
+ resolve_refdup(E1, E2, &E3, E4)

@@
expression E1, E2, E3, E4;
@@
- resolve_refdup(E1, E2, E3->hash, E4)
+ resolve_refdup(E1, E2, E3, E4)

2616a5e508 refs: convert delete_ref and refs_delete_ref to struct object_id
Convert delete_ref and refs_delete_ref to take a pointer to struct
object_id.  Update the documentation accordingly, including referring to
null_oid in lowercase, as it is not a #define constant.

bc1c9c0e67 branch: split validate_new_branchname() into two
Checking if a proposed name is appropriate for a branch is strictly
a subset of checking if we want to allow creating or updating a
branch with such a name.  The mysterious sounding 'attr_only'
parameter to validate_new_branchname() is used to switch the
function between these two roles.

Instead, split the function into two, and adjust the callers.  A new
helper validate_branchname() only checks the name and reports if the
branch already exists.

This loses one NEEDSWORK from the branch API.

a9155c50bd branch: reset instead of release a strbuf
Our documentation advises to not re-use a strbuf, after strbuf_release
has been called on it. Use the proper reset instead.

Currently 'strbuf_release' releases and re-initializes the strbuf, so it
is safe, but slow. 'strbuf_reset' only resets the internal length variable,
such that this could also be accounted for as a micro-optimization.

f777623514 branch: change the error messages to be more meaningful
The error messages shown when the branch command is misused
by supplying it wrong number of parameters wasn't meaningful.
That's because it used the the phrase "too many branches"
assuming all parameters to be "valid" branch names. It's not
always the case as exemplified below,

        $ git branch
          foo
        * master

        $ git branch -m foo foo old
        fatal: too many branches for a rename operation

Change the messages to be more general thus making no assumptions
about the "parameters".

e5435ff1fc branch: fix "copy" to never touch HEAD
When creating a new branch B by copying the branch A that happens to
be the current branch, it also updates HEAD to point at the new
branch.  It probably was made this way because "git branch -c A B"
piggybacked its implementation on "git branch -m A B",

This does not match the usual expectation.  If I were sitting on a
blue chair, and somebody comes and repaints it to red, I would
accept ending up sitting on a chair that is now red (I am also OK to
stand, instead, as there no longer is my favourite blue chair).  But
if somebody creates a new red chair, modelling it after the blue
chair I am sitting on, I do not expect to be booted off of the blue
chair and ending up on sitting on the new red one.

Let's fix this before it hits 'next'.  Those who want to create a
new branch and switch to it can do "git checkout B" after doing a
"git branch -c B", and if that operation is so useful and deserves a
short-hand way to do so, perhaps extend "git checkout -b B" to copy
configurations while creating the new branch B.

52668846ea builtin/branch: stop supporting the "--set-upstream" option
The '--set-upstream' option of branch was deprecated in b347d06b
("branch: deprecate --set-upstream and show help if we detect
possible mistaken use", 2012-08-30) and has been planned for removal
ever since.

In order to prevent "--set-upstream" on a command line from being taken as
an abbreviated form of "--set-upstream-to", explicitly catch "--set-upstream"
option and die, instead of just removing it from the list of options.

Before this change, an attempt to use "--set-upstream" resulted in:

    $ git branch
    * master

    $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
    The --set-upstream flag is deprecated and will be removed. Consider using --track or --set-upstream-to
    Branch origin/master set up to track local branch master.

    $ echo $?
    0

    $ git branch
    * master
      origin/master

With this change, the behaviour becomes like this:

    $ git branch
    * master

    $ git branch --set-upstream origin/master
    fatal: the '--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to' instead.

    $ echo $?
    128

    $ git branch
    * master

11b087adfd ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors
When color placeholders like %(color:red) are used in a
ref-filter format, we unconditionally output the colors,
even if the user has asked us for no colors. This usually
isn't a problem when the user is constructing a --format on
the command line, but it means we may do the wrong thing
when the format is fed from a script or alias. For example:

   $ git config alias.b 'branch --format=%(color:green)%(refname)'
   $ git b --no-color

should probably omit the green color. Likewise, running:

   $ git b >branches

should probably also omit the color, just as we would for
all baked-in coloring (and as we recently started to do for
user-specified colors in --pretty formats).

This commit makes both of those cases work by teaching
the ref-filter code to consult want_color() before
outputting any color. The color flag in ref_format defaults
to "-1", which means we'll consult color.ui, which in turn
defaults to the usual isatty() check on stdout. However,
callers like git-branch which support their own color config
(and command-line options) can override that.

The new tests independently cover all three of the callers
of ref-filter (for-each-ref, tag, and branch). Even though
these seem redundant, it confirms that we've correctly
plumbed through all of the necessary config to make colors
work by default.
