17c13e60fd diff-merges: introduce log.diffMerges config variable
New log.diffMerges configuration variable sets the format that
--diff-merges=on will be using. The default is "separate".

t4013: add the following tests for log.diffMerges config:

* Test that wrong values are denied.

* Test that the value of log.diffMerges properly affects both
--diff-merges=on and -m.

t9902: fix completion tests for log.d* to match log.diffMerges.

Added documentation for log.diffMerges.

db91988aa1 format-patch: allow a non-integral version numbers
The `-v<n>` option of `format-patch` can give nothing but an
integral iteration number to patches in a series.  Some people,
however, prefer to mark a new iteration with only a small fixup
with a non integral iteration number (e.g. an "oops, that was
wrong" fix-up patch for v4 iteration may be labeled as "v4.1").

Allow `format-patch` to take such a non-integral iteration
number.

`<n>` can be any string, such as '3.1' or '4rev2'. In the case
where it is a non-integral value, the "Range-diff" and "Interdiff"
headers will not include the previous version.

47957485b3 tree.h API: simplify read_tree_recursive() signature
Simplify the signature of read_tree_recursive() to omit the "base",
"baselen" and "stage" arguments. No callers of it use these parameters
for anything anymore.

The last function to call read_tree_recursive() with a non-"" path was
read_tree_recursive() itself, but that was changed in
ffd31f661d (Reimplement read_tree_recursive() using
tree_entry_interesting(), 2011-03-25).

The last user of the "stage" parameter went away in the last commit,
and even that use was mere boilerplate.

So let's remove those and rename the read_tree_recursive() function to
just read_tree(). We had another read_tree() function that I've
refactored away in preceding commits, since all in-tree users read
trees recursively with a callback we can change the name to signify
that this is the norm.

e900d494dc diff: add an API for deferred freeing
Add a diff_free() function to free anything we may have allocated in
the "diff_options" struct, and the ability to make calling it a noop
by setting "no_free" in "diff_options".

This is required because when e.g. "git diff" is run we'll allocate
things in that struct, use the diff machinery once, and then exit.

But if we run e.g. "git log -p" we're going to re-use what we
allocated across multiple diff_flush() calls, and only want to free
things at the end.

We've thus ended up with features like the recently added "diff -I"[1]
where we'll leak memory. As it turns out it could have simply used the
pattern established in 6ea57703f6 (log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse
the diffopt.close_file attribute, 2016-06-22).

Manually adding more such flags to things log_tree_commit() every time
we need to allocate something would be tedious. Let's instead move
that fclose() code it to a new diff_free(), in anticipation of freeing
more things in that function in follow-up commits.

Some functions such as log_tree_commit() need an idiom of optionally
retaining a previous "no_free", as they may either free the memory
themselves, or their caller may do so. I'm keeping that idiom in
log_show_early() for good measure, even though I don't think it's
currently called in this manner. It also gets passed an existing
"struct rev_info", so future callers may want to set the "no_free"
flag.

This change is a bit hard to read because while the freeing pattern
we're introducing isn't unusual, the "file" member is a special
snowflake. We usually don't want to fclose() it. This is because
"file" is usually stdout, in which case we don't want to fclose()
it. We only want to opt-in to closing it when we e.g. open a file on
the filesystem. Thus the opt-in "close_file" flag.

So the API in general just needs a "no_free" flag to defer freeing,
but the "file" member still needs its "close_file" flag. This is made
more confusing because while refactoring this code we could replace
some "close_file=0" with "no_free=1", whereas others need to set both
flags.

This is because there were some cases where an existing "close_file=0"
meant "let's defer deallocation", and others where it meant "we don't
want to close this file handle at all".

679b5916cd range-diff/format-patch: refactor check for commit range
Currently, when called with exactly two arguments, `git range-diff`
tests for a literal `..` in each of the two. Likewise, the argument
provided via `--range-diff` to `git format-patch` is checked in the same
manner.

However, `<commit>^!` is a perfectly valid commit range, equivalent to
`<commit>^..<commit>` according to the `SPECIFYING RANGES` section of
gitrevisions[7].

In preparation for allowing more sophisticated ways to specify commit
ranges, let's refactor the check into its own function.

4e168333a8 shortlog: remove unused(?) "repo-abbrev" feature
Remove support for the magical "repo-abbrev" comment in .mailmap
files. This was added to .mailmap parsing in [1], as a generalized
feature of the git-shortlog Perl script added earlier in [2].

There was no documentation or tests for this feature, and I don't
think it's used in practice anymore.

What it did was to allow you to specify a single string to be
search-replaced with "/.../" in the .mailmap file. E.g. for
linux.git's current .mailmap:

    git archive --remote=git@gitlab.com:linux-kernel/linux.git \
        HEAD -- .mailmap | grep -a repo-abbrev
    # repo-abbrev: /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/

Then when running e.g.:

    git shortlog --merges --author=Linus -1 v5.10-rc7..v5.10 | grep Merge

We'd emit (the [...] is mine):

      Merge tag [...]git://git.kernel.org/.../tip/tip

But will now emit:

      Merge tag [...]git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

I think at this point this is just a historical artifact we can get
rid of. It was initially meant for Linus's own use when we integrated
the Perl script[2], but since then it seems he's stopped using it.

Digging through Linus's release announcements on the LKML[3] the last
release I can find that made use of this output is Linux 2.6.25-rc6
back in March 2008[4]. Later on Linus started using --no-merges[5],
and nowadays seems to prefer some custom not-quite-shortlog format of
merges from lieutenants[6].

You will still see it on linux.git if you run "git shortlog" manually
yourself with --merges, with this removed you can still get the same
output with:

    git log --pretty=fuller v5.10-rc7..v5.10 |
    sed 's!/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/!/.../!g' |
    git shortlog

Arguably we should do the same for the search-replacing of "[PATCH]"
at the beginning with "". That seems to be another relic of a bygone
era when linux.git patches would have their E-Mail subject lines
applied as-is by "git am" or whatever. But we documented that feature
in "git-shortlog(1)", and it seems more widely applicable than
something purely kernel-specific.

designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT", 2017-07-10).)

1d3878799f grep: don't set up a "default" repo for grep
`init_grep_defaults()` fills a `static struct grep_opt grep_defaults`.
This struct is then used by `grep_init()` as a blueprint for other such
structs. Notably, `grep_init()` takes a `struct repo *` and assigns it
into the target struct.

As a result, it is unnecessary for us to take a `struct repo *` in
`init_grep_defaults()` as well. We assign it into the default struct and
never look at it again. And in light of how we return early if we have
already set up the default struct, it's not just unnecessary, but is
also a bit confusing: If we are called twice and with different repos,
is it a bug or a feature that we ignore the second repo?

Drop the repo parameter for `init_grep_defaults()`.

3baf58bfb4 format-patch: make output filename configurable
For the past 15 years, we've used the hardcoded 64 as the length
limit of the filename of the output from the "git format-patch"
command.  Since the value is shorter than the 80-column terminal, it
could grow without line wrapping a bit.  At the same time, since the
value is longer than half of the 80-column terminal, we could fit
two or more of them in "ls" output on such a terminal if we allowed
to lower it.

Introduce a new command line option --filename-max-length=<n> and a
new configuration variable format.filenameMaxLength to override the
hardcoded default.

While we are at it, remove a check that the name of output directory
does not exceed PATH_MAX---this check is pointless in that by the
time control reaches the function, the caller would already have
done an equivalent of "mkdir -p", so if the system does not like an
overly long directory name, the control wouldn't have reached here,
and otherwise, we know that the system allowed the output directory
to exist.  In the worst case, we will get an error when we try to
open the output file and handle the error correctly anyway.

dc1672dd10 format-patch: support --output option
We've never intended to support diff's --output option in format-patch.
And until baa4adc66a (parse-options: disable option abbreviation with
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN, 2019-01-27), it was impossible to trigger. We
first parse the format-patch options before handing the remainder off to
setup_revisions(). Before that commit, we'd accept "--output=foo" as an
abbreviation for "--output-directory=foo". But afterwards, we don't
check abbreviations, and --output gets passed to the diff code.

This results in nonsense behavior and bugs. The diff code will have
opened a filehandle at rev.diffopt.file, but we'll overwrite that with
our own handles that we open for each individual patch file. So the
--output file will always just be empty. But worse, the diff code also
sets rev.diffopt.close_file, so log_tree_commit() will close the
filehandle itself. And then the main loop in cmd_format_patch() will try
to close it again, resulting in a double-free.

The simplest solution would be to just disallow --output with
format-patch, as nobody ever intended it to work. However, we have
accidentally documented it (because format-patch includes diff-options).
And it does work with "git log", which writes the whole output to the
specified file. It's easy enough to make that work for format-patch,
too: it's really the same as --stdout, but pointed at a specific file.

We can detect the use of the --output option by the "close_file" flag
(note that we can't use rev.diffopt.file, since the diff setup will
otherwise set it to stdout). So we just need to unset that flag, but
don't have to do anything else. Our situation is otherwise exactly like
--stdout (note that we don't fclose() the file, but nor does the stdout
case; exiting the program takes care of that for us).

1e1693b2bb format-patch: tie file-opening logic to output_directory
In format-patch we're either outputting to stdout or to individual files
in an output directory (which may be just "./"). Our logic for whether
to open a new file for each patch is checked with "!use_stdout", but it
is equally correct to check for a non-NULL output_directory.

The distinction will matter when we add a new single-stream output in a
future patch, when only one of the three methods will want individual

4c6f781f9c format-patch: refactor output selection
The --stdout and --output-directory options are mutually exclusive, but
it's hard to tell from reading the code. We have three separate
conditionals that check for use_stdout, and it's only after we've set up
the output_directory fully that we check whether the user also specified
--stdout.

Instead, let's check the exclusion explicitly first, then have a single
conditional that handles stdout versus an output directory. This is
slightly easier to follow now, and also will keep things sane when we
add another output mode in a future patch.

We'll add a few tests as well, covering the mutual exclusion and the
fact that we are not confused by a configured output directory.

39664cb0ac log: diagnose -L used with pathspec as an error
The -L option is documented to accept no pathspec, but the
command line option parser has allowed the combination without
checking so far.  Ensure that there is no pathspec when the -L
option is in effect to fix this.

Incidentally, this change fixes another bug in the command line
option parser, which has allowed the -L option used together
with the --follow option.  Because the latter requires exactly
one path given, but the former takes no pathspec, they become
mutually incompatible automatically.  Because the -L option
follows renames on its own, there is no reason to give --follow
at the same time.

The new tests say they may fail with "-L and --follow being
incompatible" instead of "-L and pathspec being incompatible".
Currently the expected failure can come only from the latter, but
this is to futureproof them, in case we decide to add code to
explicititly die on -L and --follow used together.

180d641d7d line-log: mention both modes in 'blame' and 'log' short help
'git blame -h' and 'git log -h' both show '-L <n,m>' and describe this
option as "Process only line range n,m, counting from 1". No hint is
given that a function name regex can also be used.

Use <range> instead, and expand the description of the option to mention
both modes. Remove "counting from 1" as it's uneeded; it's uncommon to
refer to the first line of a file as "line 0".

Also, for 'git log', improve the wording to better reflect the long help.

3abd4a67d9 Documentation: stylistically normalize references to Signed-off-by:
Ted reported an old typo in the git-commit.txt and merge-options.txt.
Namely, the phrase "Signed-off-by line" was used without either a
definite nor indefinite article.

Upon examination, it seems that the documentation (including items in
Documentation/, but also option help strings) have been quite
inconsistent on usage when referring to `Signed-off-by`.

First, very few places used a definite or indefinite article with the
phrase "Signed-off-by line", but that was the initial typo that led
to this investigation.  So, normalize using either an indefinite or
definite article consistently.

The original phrasing, in Commit 3f971fc425 (Documentation updates,
2005-08-14), is "Add Signed-off-by line".  Commit 6f855371a5 (Add
--signoff, --check, and long option-names. 2005-12-09) switched to
using "Add `Signed-off-by:` line", but didn't normalize the former
commit to match.  Later commits seem to have cut and pasted from one
or the other, which is likely how the usage became so inconsistent.

Junio stated on the git mailing list in
<xmqqy2k1dfoh.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com> a preference to leave off
the colon.  Thus, prefer `Signed-off-by` (with backticks) for the
documentation files and Signed-off-by (without backticks) for option
help strings.

Additionally, Junio argued that "trailer" is now the standard term to
refer to `Signed-off-by`, saying that "becomes plenty clear that we
are not talking about any random line in the log message".  As such,
prefer "trailer" over "line" anywhere the former word fits.

However, leave alone those few places in documentation that use
Signed-off-by to refer to the process (rather than the specific
trailer), or in places where mail headers are generally discussed in
comparison with Signed-off-by.

7efba5fa39 format-patch: teach format.useAutoBase "whenAble" option
The format.useAutoBase configuration option exists to allow users to
enable '--base=auto' for format-patch by default.

This can sometimes lead to poor workflow, due to unexpected failures
when attempting to format an ancient patch:

    $ git format-patch -1 <an old commit>
    fatal: base commit shouldn't be in revision list

This can be very confusing, as it is not necessarily immediately obvious
that the user requested a --base (since this was in the configuration,
not on the command line).

We do want --base=auto to fail when it cannot provide a suitable base,
as it would be equally confusing if a formatted patch did not include
the base information when it was requested.

Teach format.useAutoBase a new mode, "whenAble". This mode will cause
format-patch to attempt to include a base commit when it can. However,
if no valid base commit can be found, then format-patch will continue
formatting the patch without a base commit.

In order to avoid making yet another branch name unusable with --base,
do not teach --base=whenAble or --base=whenable.

Instead, refactor the base_commit option to use a callback, and rely on
the global configuration variable auto_base.

This does mean that a user cannot request this optional base commit
generation from the command line. However, this is likely not too
valuable. If the user requests base information manually, they will be
immediately informed of the failure to acquire a suitable base commit.
This allows the user to make an informed choice about whether to
continue the format.

Add tests to cover the new mode of operation for --base.

63d24fa0b0 shortlog: allow multiple groups to be specified
Now that shortlog supports reading from trailers, it can be useful to
combine counts from multiple trailers, or between trailers and authors.
This can be done manually by post-processing the output from multiple
runs, but it's non-trivial to make sure that each name/commit pair is
counted only once.

This patch teaches shortlog to accept multiple --group options on the
command line, and pull data from all of them. That makes it possible to
run:

  git shortlog -ns --group=author --group=trailer:co-authored-by

to get a shortlog that counts authors and co-authors equally.

The implementation is mostly straightforward. The "group" enum becomes a
bitfield, and the trailer key becomes a list. I didn't bother
implementing the multi-group semantics for reading from stdin. It would
be possible to do, but the existing matching code makes it awkward, and
I doubt anybody cares.

The duplicate suppression we used for trailers now covers authors and
committers as well (though in non-trailer single-group mode we can skip
the hash insertion and lookup, since we only see one value per commit).

There is one subtlety: we now care about the case when no group bit is
set (in which case we default to showing the author). The caller in
builtin/log.c needs to be adapted to ask explicitly for authors, rather
than relying on shortlog_init(). It would be possible with some
gymnastics to make this keep working as-is, but it's not worth it for a
single caller.

07a7f8debf format-patch: use 'origin' as start of current-series-range when known
When formatting a patch series over `origin..HEAD`, one would expect
that range to be used as the current-series-range when computing a
range-diff between the previous and current versions of a patch series.
However, infer_range_diff_ranges() ignores `origin..HEAD` when
--range-diff=<prev> specifies a single revision rather than a range, and
instead unexpectedly computes the current-series-range based upon
<prev>. Address this anomaly by unconditionally using `origin..HEAD` as
the current-series-range regardless of <prev> as long as `origin` is
known, and only fall back to basing current-series-range on <prev> when
`origin` is not known.

72a7239016 diff-lib: tighten show_interdiff()'s interface
To compute and show an interdiff, show_interdiff() needs only the two
OID's to compare and a diffopts, yet it expects callers to supply an
entire rev_info. The demand for rev_info is not only overkill, but also
places unnecessary burden on potential future callers which might not
otherwise have a rev_info at hand. Address this by tightening its
signature to require only the items it needs instead of a full rev_info.

f24c30e0b6 wt-status: tolerate dangling marks
When a user checks out the upstream branch of HEAD, the upstream branch
not being a local branch, and then runs "git status", like this:

  git clone $URL client
  cd client
  git checkout @{u}
  git status

no status is printed, but instead an error message:

  fatal: HEAD does not point to a branch

(This error message when running "git branch" persists even after
checking out other things - it only stops after checking out a branch.)

This is because "git status" reads the reflog when determining the "HEAD
detached" message, and thus attempts to DWIM "@{u}", but that doesn't
work because HEAD no longer points to a branch.

Therefore, when calculating the status of a worktree, tolerate dangling
marks. This is done by adding an additional parameter to
dwim_ref() and repo_dwim_ref().

9ab89a2439 log: enable "-m" automatically with "--first-parent"
When using "--first-parent" to consider history as a single line of
commits, git-log still defaults to treating merges specially, even
though they could be considered as single commits in the linearized
history (that just introduce all of the changes from the second and
higher parents).

Let's instead have "--first-parent" imply "-m", which makes something
like:

  git log --first-parent -p

do what you'd expect. Likewise:

  git log --first-parent -Sfoo

will find "foo" in merge commits.

No new test is needed; we'll tweak the output of the existing
"--first-parent -p" test, which now matches the "-m --first-parent -p"
test. The unchanged existing test for "--no-diff-merges" confirms that
the user can get the old behavior if they want.

6fae74b418 revision: add "--no-diff-merges" option to counteract "-m"
The "-m" option sets revs->ignore_merges to "0", but there's no way to
undo it. This probably isn't something anybody overly cares about, since
"1" is already the default, but it will serve as an escape hatch when we
flip the default for ignore_merges to "0" in more situations.

We'll also add a few extra niceties:

  - initialize the value to "-1" to indicate "not set", and then resolve
    it to the normal 0/1 bool in setup_revisions(). This lets any tweak
    functions, as well as setup_revisions() itself, avoid clobbering the
    user's preference (which until now they couldn't actually express).

  - since we now have --no-diff-merges, let's add the matching
    --diff-merges, which is just a synonym for "-m". Then we don't even
    need to document --no-diff-merges separately; it countermands the
    long form of "-m" in the usual way.

The new test shows that this behaves just the same as the current
behavior without "-m".

We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec
consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once,
or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits.
Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable
to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different
names is OK).

This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a
manageable size.

The conversion was done purely mechanically with:

  git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
  xargs perl -i -pe '
    s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g;
    s/argv_array/strvec/g;
  '

and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/". We'll deal
with any indentation/style fallouts separately.
