Theodore Ts'o 06f59e9f5d Don't fflush(stdout) when it's not helpful
This patch arose from a discussion started by Jim Meyering's patch
whose intention was to provide better diagnostics for failed writes.
Linus proposed a better way to do things, which also had the added
benefit that adding a fflush() to git-log-* operations and incremental
git-blame operations could improve interactive respose time feel, at
the cost of making things a bit slower when we aren't piping the
output to a downstream program.

This patch skips the fflush() calls when stdout is a regular file, or
if the environment variable GIT_FLUSH is set to "0".  This latter can
speed up a command such as:

GIT_FLUSH=0 strace -c -f -e write time git-rev-list HEAD | wc -l

a tiny amount.

Junio C Hamano 80583c0ef6 Lift 16kB limit of log message output
Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for
output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have
a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying
about reallocating.

This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to
lift this limit.  Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it
now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated
buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the
allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary.

To support the user format, the error return of interpolate()
needed to be changed.  It used to return a bool telling "Ok the
result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it".  Now it returns
0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in
order to fit the whole result.

Add a new option to git-format-patch, entitled --subject-prefix that allows

Linus Torvalds abd4e22269 Fix "git log -z" behaviour
For commit messages, we should really put the "line_termination" when we
output the character in between different commits, *not* between the
commit and the diff. The diff goes hand-in-hand with the commit, it
shouldn't be separated from it with the termination character.

So this:
 - uses the termination character for true inter-commit spacing
 - uses a regular newline between the commit log and the diff

We had it the other way around.

For the normal case where the termination character is '\n', this
obviously doesn't change anything at all, since we just switched two
identical characters around. So it's very safe - it doesn't change any
normal usage, but it definitely fixes "git log -z".

By fixing "git log -z", you can now also do insane things like

	git log -p -z |
		grep -z "some patch expression" |
		tr '\0' '\n' |
		less -S

and you will see only those commits that have the "some patch expression"
in their commit message _or_ their patches.

(This is slightly different from 'git log -S"some patch expression"',
since the latter requires the expression to literally *change* in the
patch, while the "git log -p -z | grep .." approach will see it if it's
just an unchanged _part_ of the patch context)

Of course, if you actually do something like the above, you're probably
insane, but hey, it works!

Try the above command line for a demonstration (of course, you need to
change the "some patch expression" to be something relevant). The old
behaviour of "git log -p -z" was useless (and got things completely wrong
for log entries without patches).

Rene Scharfe 2b60356da5 Make git-cherry handle root trees
This patch on top of 'next' makes built-in git-cherry handle root
commits.

It moves the static function log-tree.c::diff_root_tree() to
tree-diff.c and makes it more similar to diff_tree_sha1() by
shuffling around arguments and factoring out the call to
log_tree_diff_flush().  Consequently the name is changed to
diff_root_tree_sha1().  It is a version of diff_tree_sha1() that
compares the empty tree (= root tree) against a single 'real' tree.

This function is then used in get_patch_id() to compute patch IDs
for initial commits instead of SEGFAULTing, as the current code
does if confronted with parentless commits.

Linus Torvalds a4d34e2db5 Log message printout cleanups (#3): fix --pretty=oneline
This option is very special, since pretty_print_commit() will _remove_
the newline at the end of it, so we want to have an extra separator
between the things.

I added a honking big comment this time, so that (a) I don't forget this
_again_ (I broke "oneline" several times during this printout cleanup),
and so that people can understand _why_ the code does what it does.

Now, arguably the alternate fix is to always have the '\n' at the end in
pretty-print-commit, but git-rev-list depends on the current behaviour
(but we could have git-rev-list remove it, whatever).

With the big comment, the code hopefully doesn't get broken again. And now
things like

	git log --pretty=oneline --cc --patch-with-stat

works (even if that is admittedly a totally insane combination: if you
want the patch, having the "oneline" log format is just crazy, but hey,
it _works_. Even insane people are people).

Linus Torvalds eab144ac49 Log message printout cleanups (#2)
Here's a further patch on top of the previous one with cosmetic
improvements (no "real" code changes, just trivial updates):

 - it gets the "---" before a diffstat right, including for the combined
   merge case. Righ now the logic is that we always use "---" when we have
   a diffstat, and an empty line otherwise. That's how I visually prefer
   it, but hey, it can be tweaked later.

 - I made "diff --cc/combined" add the "---/+++" header lines too. The
   thing won't be mistaken for a valid diff, since the "@@" lines have too
   many "@" characters (three or more), but it just makes it visually
   match a real diff, which at least to me makes a big difference in
   readability. Without them, it just looks very "wrong".

   I guess I should have taken the filename from each individual entry
   (and had one "---" file per parent), but I didn't even bother to try to
   see how that works, so this was the simple thing.

With this, doing a

	git log --cc --patch-with-stat

looks quite readable, I think. The only nagging issue - as far as I'm
concerned - is that diffstats for merges are pretty questionable the way
they are done now. I suspect it would be better to just have the _first_
diffstat, and always make the merge diffstat be the one for "result
against first parent".

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.

The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like

	if (rev->logopt)
		show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");

but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.

That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:

	while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
		log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
		free(commit->buffer);
		commit->buffer = NULL;
	}

so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.

I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.

This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new

too.

Linus Torvalds 78fff6ebba Fixes for option parsing
Make sure "git show" always show the header, regardless of whether there
is a diff or not.

Also, make sure "always_show_header" actually works, since generate_header
only tested it in one out of three return paths.

Junio C Hamano cb8f64b4e3 log/whatchanged/show - log formatting cleanup.
This moves the decision to print the log message, while diff
options are in effect, to log-tree.  It gives behaviour closer
to the traditional one.

Linus Torvalds cd2bdc5309 Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friends
This basically does a few things that are sadly somewhat interdependent,
and nontrivial to split out

 - get rid of "struct log_tree_opt"

   The fields in "log_tree_opt" are moved into "struct rev_info", and all
   users of log_tree_opt are changed to use the rev_info struct instead.

 - add the parsing for the log_tree_opt arguments to "setup_revision()"

 - make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related
   arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants
   to show diffs or not.

 - make setup_revision() also initialize the diffopt part of rev_info
   (which we had from before, but we just didn't initialize it)

 - make setup_revision() do all the "finishing touches" on it all (it will
   do the proper flag combination logic, and call "diff_setup_done()")

Now, that was the easy and straightforward part.

The slightly more involved part is that some of the programs that want to
use the new-and-improved rev_info parsing don't actually want _commits_,
they may want tree'ish arguments instead. That meant that I had to change
setup_revision() to parse the arguments not into the "revs->commits" list,
but into the "revs->pending_objects" list.

Then, when we do "prepare_revision_walk()", we walk that list, and create
the sorted commit list from there.

This actually cleaned some stuff up, but it's the less obvious part of the
patch, and re-organized the "revision.c" logic somewhat. It actually paves
the way for splitting argument parsing _entirely_ out of "revision.c",
since now the argument parsing really is totally independent of the commit
walking: that didn't use to be true, since there was lots of overlap with
get_commit_reference() handling etc, now the _only_ overlap is the shared
(and trivial) "add_pending_object()" thing.

However, I didn't do that file split, just because I wanted the diff
itself to be smaller, and show the actual changes more clearly. If this
gets accepted, I'll do further cleanups then - that includes the file
split, but also using the new infrastructure to do a nicer "git diff" etc.

Even in this form, it actually ends up removing more lines than it adds.

It's nice to note how simple and straightforward this makes the built-in
"git log" command, even though it continues to support all the diff flags
too. It doesn't get much simpler that this.

I think this is worth merging soonish, because it does allow for future
cleanup and even more sharing of code. However, it obviously touches
"revision.c", which is subtle. I've tested that it passes all the tests we
have, and it passes my "looks sane" detector, but somebody else should
also give it a good look-over.

[jc: squashed the original and three "oops this too" updates, with
 another fix-up.]

Junio C Hamano 5f1c3f07b7 log-tree: separate major part of diff-tree.
This separates out the part that deals with one-commit diff-tree
(and --stdin form) into a separate log-tree module.

There are two goals with this.  The more important one is to be
able to make this part available to "git log --diff", so that we
can have a native "git whatchanged" command.  Another is to
simplify the commit log generation part simpler.
