Matt Kraai 8bb45b25b2 commit: quote the user name in the example
If the user runs

 git config --global user.name Your Name

as suggested, user.name will be set to "Your".  With this patch, the
suggested command will be

 git config --global user.name "Your Name"

which will set user.name to "Your Name" and hopefully help users avoid
the former mistake.

Jeff King b706fcfe93 commit: allow suppression of implicit identity advice
We now nag the user with a giant warning when their identity
was pulled from the username, hostname, and gecos
information, in case it is not correct. Most users will
suppress this by simply setting up their information
correctly.

However, there may be some users who consciously want to use
that information, because having the value change from host
to host contains useful information. These users can now set
advice.implicitidentity to false to suppress the message.

Jeff King 49ff9a7a02 commit: show interesting ident information in summary
There are a few cases of user identity information that we consider
interesting:

  (1) When the author and committer identities do not match.

  (2) When the committer identity was picked automatically from the
      username, hostname and GECOS information.

In these cases, we already show the information in the commit
message template. However, users do not always see that template
because they might use "-m" or "-F". With this patch, we show these
interesting cases after the commit, along with the subject and
change summary. The new output looks like:

  $ git commit \
      -m "federalist papers" \
      --author='Publius <alexander@hamilton.com>'
  [master 3d226a7] federalist papers
   Author: Publius <alexander@hamilton.com>
   1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

for case (1), and:

  $ git config --global --unset user.name
  $ git config --global --unset user.email
  $ git commit -m foo

   Committer: Jeff King <peff@c-71-185-130-222.hsd1.va.comcast.net>
  Your name and email address were configured automatically based
  on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
  You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:

      git config --global user.name Your Name
      git config --global user.email you@example.com

  If the identity used for this commit is wrong, you can fix it with:

      git commit --amend --author='Your Name <you@example.com>'

Matthieu Moy d38a30df7d Be more user-friendly when refusing to do something because of conflict.
Various commands refuse to run in the presence of conflicts (commit,
merge, pull, cherry-pick/revert). They all used to provide rough, and
inconsistant error messages.

A new variable advice.resolveconflict is introduced, and allows more
verbose messages, pointing the user to the appropriate solution.

For commit, the error message used to look like this:

$ git commit
foo.txt: needs merge
foo.txt: unmerged (c34a92682e0394bc0d6f4d4a67a8e2d32395c169)
foo.txt: unmerged (3afcd75de8de0bb5076942fcb17446be50451030)
foo.txt: unmerged (c9785d77b76dfe4fb038bf927ee518f6ae45ede4)
error: Error building trees

The "need merge" line is given by refresh_cache. We add the IN_PORCELAIN
option to make the output more consistant with the other porcelain
commands, and catch the error in return, to stop with a clean error
message. The next lines were displayed by a call to cache_tree_update(),
which is not reached anymore if we noticed the conflict.

The new output looks like:

U       foo.txt
fatal: 'commit' is not possible because you have unmerged files.
Please, fix them up in the work tree, and then use 'git add/rm <file>' as
appropriate to mark resolution and make a commit, or use 'git commit -a'.

Pull is slightly modified to abort immediately if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD
exists instead of waiting for merge to complain.

The behavior of merge and the test-case are slightly modified to reflect
the usual flow: start with conflicts, fix them, and afterwards get rid of
MERGE_HEAD, with different error messages at each stage.

Junio C Hamano 91c38a2108 ident.c: check explicit identity for name and email separately
bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic, 2008-05-04) added a logic to
check both name and email were given explicitly by the end user, but it
assumed that fmt_ident() is never called before git_default_user_config()
is called, which was fragile.  The former calls setup_ident() and fills
the "default" name and email, so the check in the config parser would have
mistakenly said both are given even if only user.name was provided.

Make the logic more robust by keeping track of name and email separately.

Greg Price e97ca7f41f commit: --cleanup is a message option
In the usage message for "git commit", the --cleanup option appeared
at the end, as one of the "contents options":

usage: git commit [options] [--] <filepattern>...
...
Commit message options
...
Commit contents options
...
    --allow-empty         ok to record an empty change
    --cleanup <default>   how to strip spaces and #comments from message

This is confusing, in part because it makes it ambiguous whether
--allow-empty, just above, refers to an empty diff or an empty message.

Move --cleanup into the 'message options' group.  Also add a pair of
comments to prevent similar oversights in the future.

Jeff King 8b8e862490 ignore unknown color configuration
When parsing the config file, if there is a value that is
syntactically correct but unused, we generally ignore it.
This lets non-core porcelains store arbitrary information in
the config file, and it means that configuration files can
be shared between new and old versions of git (the old
versions might simply ignore certain configuration).

The one exception to this is color configuration; if we
encounter a color.{diff,branch,status}.$slot variable, we
die if it is not one of the recognized slots (presumably as
a safety valve for user misconfiguration). This behavior
has existed since 801235c (diff --color: use
$GIT_DIR/config, 2006-06-24), but hasn't yet caused a
problem. No porcelain has wanted to store extra colors, and
we once a color area (like color.diff) has been introduced,
we've never changed the set of color slots.

However, that changed recently with the addition of
color.diff.func. Now a user with color.diff.func in their
config can no longer freely switch between v1.6.6 and older
versions; the old versions will complain about the existence
of the variable.

This patch loosens the check to match the rest of
git-config; unknown color slots are simply ignored. This
doesn't fix this particular problem, as the older version
(without this patch) is the problem, but it at least
prevents it from happening again in the future.

Commit b4d1690 (Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (reading part))
fails to make "git commit -- a b c" respect skip-worktree
(i.e. not committing paths that are skip-worktree). This is because
when the index is reset back to HEAD, all skip-worktree information is
gone.

This patch saves skip-worktree information in the string list of
committed paths, then reuse it later on to skip skip-worktree paths.

Junio C Hamano 3c58845365 status/commit: do not suggest "reset HEAD <path>" while merging
Suggesting "'reset HEAD <path>' to unstage" is dead wrong if we are about
to record a merge commit.  For either an unmerged path (i.e. with
unresolved conflicts), or an updated path, it would result in discarding
what the other branch did.

Note that we do not do anything special in a case where we are amending a
merge.  The user is making an evil merge starting from an already
committed merge, and running "reset HEAD <path>" is the right way to get
rid of the local edit that has been added to the index.

Once "reset --unresolve <path>" becomes available, we might want to
suggest it for a merged path that has unresolve information, but until
then, just remove the incorrect advice.

We might also want to suggest "checkout --conflict <path>" to revert the
file in the work tree to the state of failed automerge for an unmerged
path, but we never did that, and this commit does not change that.

Jeff King 8661768fc9 status: reduce duplicated setup code
We have three output formats: short, porcelain, and long.
The short and long formats respect user-config, and the
porcelain one does not. This led to us repeating
config-related setup code for the short and long formats.

Since the last commit, color config is explicitly cleared
when showing the porcelain format. Let's do the same with
relative-path configuration, which enables us to hoist the
duplicated code from the switch statement in cmd_status.

As a bonus, this fixes "commit --dry-run --porcelain", which
was unconditionally setting up that configuration, anyway.

c1e01b0 (commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines.,
2009-10-28) introduced logic to omit this empty line when the message ends
with a run of "footer" lines, to cover S-o-b's friends, e.g. Acked-by.

However, the logic was overzealous and missed one corner case.  A message
that consists of a single line that begins with Token + colon, it can be
mistaken as a S-o-b's friend.  We do want an empty line in such a case.

Erick Mattos c51f6ceed6 commit -c/-C/--amend: reset timestamp and authorship to committer with --reset-author
When we use -c, -C, or --amend, we are trying one of two things: using the
source as a template or modifying a commit with corrections.

When these options are used, the authorship and timestamp recorded in the
newly created commit are always taken from the original commit.  This is
inconvenient when we just want to borrow the commit log message or when
our change to the code is so significant that we should take over the
authorship (with the blame for bugs we introduce, of course).

The new --reset-author option is meant to solve this need by regenerating
the timestamp and setting the committer as the new author.

David Brown c1e01b0c51 commit: More generous accepting of RFC-2822 footer lines.
'git commit -s' will insert a blank line before the Signed-off-by
line at the end of the message, unless this last line is a
Signed-off-by line itself.  Common use has other trailing lines
at the ends of commit text, in the style of RFC2822 headers.

Be more generous in considering lines to be part of this footer.
If the last paragraph of the commit message reasonably resembles
RFC-2822 formatted lines, don't insert that blank line.

The new Signed-off-by line is still only suppressed when the
author's existing Signed-off-by is the last line of the message.

Thomas Rast dd2e794a21 Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct
pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites.  Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.

The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.

We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

Jeff King 7c9f7038e9 commit: support alternate status formats
The status command recently grew "short" and "porcelain"
options for alternate output formats. Since status is no
longer "commit --dry-run", these formats are inaccessible to
people who do want to see a dry-run in a parseable form.

This patch makes those formats available to "git commit",
implying the "dry-run" option when they are used.

Jeff King 6f15787181 status: add --porcelain output format
The "short" format was added to "git status" recently to
provide a less verbose way of looking at the same
information. This has two practical uses:

  1. Users who want a more dense display of the information.

  2. Scripts which want to parse the information and need a
     stable, easy-to-parse interface.

For now, the "--short" format covers both of those uses.
However, as time goes on, users of (1) may want additional
format tweaks, or for "git status" to change its behavior
based on configuration variables. Those wishes will be at
odds with (2), which wants to stability for scripts.

This patch introduces a separate --porcelain option early to
avoid problems later on.  Right now the --short and
--porcelain outputs are identical. However, as time goes on,
we will have the freedom to customize --short for human
consumption while keeping --porcelain stable.
