a28fe2d901 line-log.h: remove unnecessary include
The unnecessary include in the header transitively pulled in some
other headers actually needed by source files, though.  Have those
source files explicitly include the headers they need.

8ef8da4842 revision: clear decoration structs during release_revisions()
The point of release_revisions() is to free memory associated with the
rev_info struct, but we have several "struct decoration" members that
are left untouched. Since the previous commit introduced a function to
do that, we can just call it.

We do have to provide some specialized callbacks to map the void
pointers onto real ones (the alternative would be casting the existing
function pointers; this generally works because "void *" is usually
interchangeable with a struct pointer, but it is technically forbidden
by the standard).

Since the line-log code does not expose the type it stores in the
decoration (nor of course the function to free it), I put this behind a
generic line_log_free() entry point. It's possible we may need to add
more line-log specific bits anyway (running t4211 shows a number of
other leaks in the line-log code).

While this doubtless cleans up many leaks triggered by the test suite,
the only script which becomes leak-free is t4217, as it does very little
beyond a simple traversal (its existing leak was from the use of
--children, which is now fixed).

41227cb138 hash.h: move some oid-related declarations from cache.h
These defines and enum are all oid-related and as such seem to make
more sense being included in hash.h.  Further, moving them there
allows us to remove some includes of cache.h in other files.

The change to line-log.h might look unrelated, but line-log.h includes
diffcore.h, which previously included cache.h, which included the
kitchen sink.  Since this patch makes diffcore.h no longer include
cache.h, the compiler complains about the 'struct string_list *'
function parameter.  Add a forward declaration for struct string_list to
address this.

3cb9d2b6f9 line-log: more responsive, incremental 'git log -L'
The current line-level log implementation performs a preprocessing
step in prepare_revision_walk(), during which the line_log_filter()
function filters and rewrites history to keep only commits modifying
the given line range.  This preprocessing affects both responsiveness
and correctness:

  - Git doesn't produce any output during this preprocessing step.
    Checking whether a commit modified the given line range is
    somewhat expensive, so depending on the size of the given revision
    range this preprocessing can result in a significant delay before
    the first commit is shown.

  - Limiting the number of displayed commits (e.g. 'git log -3 -L...')
    doesn't limit the amount of work during preprocessing, because
    that limit is applied during history traversal.  Alas, by that
    point this expensive preprocessing step has already churned
    through the whole revision range to find all commits modifying the
    revision range, even though only a few of them need to be shown.

  - It rewrites parents, with no way to turn it off.  Without the user
    explicitly requesting parent rewriting any parent object ID shown
    should be that of the immediate parent, just like in case of a
    pathspec-limited history traversal without parent rewriting.

    However, after that preprocessing step rewrote history, the
    subsequent "regular" history traversal (i.e. get_revision() in a
    loop) only sees commits modifying the given line range.
    Consequently, it can only show the object ID of the last ancestor
    that modified the given line range (which might happen to be the
    immediate parent, but many-many times it isn't).

This patch addresses both the correctness and, at least for the common
case, the responsiveness issues by integrating line-level log
filtering into the regular revision walking machinery:

  - Make process_ranges_arbitrary_commit(), the static function in
    'line-log.c' deciding whether a commit modifies the given line
    range, public by removing the static keyword and adding the
    'line_log_' prefix, so it can be called from other parts of the
    revision walking machinery.

  - If the user didn't explicitly ask for parent rewriting (which, I
    believe, is the most common case):

    - Call this now-public function during regular history traversal,
      namely from get_commit_action() to ignore any commits not
      modifying the given line range.

      Note that while this check is relatively expensive, it must be
      performed before other, much cheaper conditions, because the
      tracked line range must be adjusted even when the commit will
      end up being ignored by other conditions.

    - Skip the line_log_filter() call, i.e. the expensive
      preprocessing step, in prepare_revision_walk(), because, thanks
      to the above points, the revision walking machinery is now able
      to filter out commits not modifying the given line range while
      traversing history.

      This way the regular history traversal sees the unmodified
      history, and is therefore able to print the object ids of the
      immediate parents of the listed commits.  The eliminated
      preprocessing step can greatly reduce the delay before the first
      commit is shown, see the numbers below.

  - However, if the user did explicitly ask for parent rewriting via
    '--parents' or a similar option, then stick with the current
    implementation for now, i.e. perform that expensive filtering and
    history rewriting in the preprocessing step just like we did
    before, leaving the initial delay as long as it was.

I tried to integrate line-level log filtering with parent rewriting
into the regular history traversal, but, unfortunately, several
subtleties resisted... :)  Maybe someday we'll figure out how to do
that, but until then at least the simple and common (i.e. without
parent rewriting) 'git log -L:func:file' commands can benefit from the
reduced delay.

This change makes the failing 'parent oids without parent rewriting'
test in 't4211-line-log.sh' succeed.

The reduced delay is most noticable when there's a commit modifying
the line range near the tip of a large-ish revision range:

  # no parent rewriting requested, no commit-graph present
  $ time git --no-pager log -L:read_alternate_refs:sha1-file.c -1 v2.23.0

  Before:

    real    0m9.570s
    user    0m9.494s
    sys     0m0.076s

  After:

    real    0m0.718s
    user    0m0.674s
    sys     0m0.044s

A significant part of the remaining delay is spent reading and parsing
commit objects in limit_list().  With the help of the commit-graph we
can eliminate most of that reading and parsing overhead, so here are
the timing results of the same command as above, but this time using
the commit-graph:

  Before:

    real    0m8.874s
    user    0m8.816s
    sys     0m0.057s

  After:

    real    0m0.107s
    user    0m0.091s
    sys     0m0.013s

The next patch will further reduce the remaining delay.

To be clear: this patch doesn't actually optimize the line-level log,
but merely moves most of the work from the preprocessing step to the
history traversal, so the commits modifying the line range can be
shown as soon as they are processed, and the traversal can be
terminated as soon as the given number of commits are shown.
Consequently, listing the full history of a line range, potentially
all the way to the root commit, will take the same time as before (but
at least the user might start reading the output earlier).
Furthermore, if the most recent commit modifying the line range is far
away from the starting revision, then that initial delay will still be
significant.

Additional testing by Derrick Stolee: In the Linux kernel repository,
the MAINTAINERS file was changed ~3,500 times across the ~915,000
commits. In addition to that edit frequency, the file itself is quite
large (~18,700 lines). This means that a significant portion of the
computation is taken up by computing the patch-diff of the file. This
patch improves the real time it takes to output the first result quite
a bit:

Command: git log -L 100,200:MAINTAINERS -n 1 >/dev/null
 Before: 3.88 s
  After: 0.71 s

If we drop the "-n 1" in the command, then there is no change in
end-to-end process time. This is because the command still needs to
walk the entire commit history, which negates the point of this
patch. This is expected.

As a note for future reference, the ~4.3 seconds in the old code
spends ~2.6 seconds computing the patch-diffs, and the rest of the
time is spent walking commits and computing diffs for which paths
changed at each commit. The changed-path Bloom filters could improve
the end-to-end computation time (i.e. no "-n 1" in the command).

d5546726fb line-log: remove unused fields from 'struct line_log_data'
Remove the unused fields 'status', 'arg_alloc', 'arg_nr' and 'args'
from 'struct line_log_data'.  They were already part of the struct
when it was introduced in commit 12da1d1f6 (Implement line-history
search (git log -L), 2013-03-28), but as far as I can tell none of
them have ever been actually used.

554544276a *.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
		grep -v ^compat/ |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

31c6191831 log -L: store the path instead of a diff_filespec
line_log_data has held a diff_filespec* since the very early versions
of the code.  However, the only place in the code where we actually
need the full filespec is parse_range_arg(); in all other cases, we
are only interested in the path, so there is hardly a reason to store
a filespec.  Even worse, it causes a lot of redundant ->spec->path
pointer dereferencing.

And *even* worse, it caused the following bug.  If you merge a rename
with a modification to the old filename, like so:

  * Merge
  | \
  |  * Modify foo
  |  |
  *  | Rename foo->bar
  | /
  * Create foo

we internally -- in process_ranges_merge_commit() -- scan all parents.
We are mainly looking for one that doesn't have any modifications, so
that we can assign all the blame to it and simplify away the merge.
In doing so, we run the normal machinery on all parents in a loop.
For each parent, we prepare a "working set" line_log_data by making a
copy with line_log_data_copy(), which does *not* make a copy of the
spec.

Now suppose the rename is the first parent.  The diff machinery tells
us that the filepair is ('foo', 'bar').  We duly update the path we
are interested in:

  rg->spec->path = xstrdup(pair->one->path);

But that 'struct spec' is shared between the output line_log_data and
the original input line_log_data.  So we just wrecked the state of
process_ranges_merge_commit().  When we get around to the second
parent, the ranges tell us we are interested in a file 'foo' while the
commits touch 'bar'.

So most of this patch is just s/->spec->path/->path/ and associated
management changes.  This implicitly fixes the bug because we removed
the shared parts between input and output of line_log_data_copy(); it
is now safe to overwrite the path in the copy.

There's one only somewhat related change: the comment in
process_all_files() explains the reasoning behind using 'range' there.
That bit of half-correct code had me sidetracked for a while.

12da1d1f6f Implement line-history search (git log -L)
This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.

The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b).  This is used in two
contexts:

* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
  history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.

The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff().  It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P.  It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.

The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs.  At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching.  We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.

This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery.  This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.

Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain.  Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff.  However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

As this was a GSoC project, and has quite some history by now, many
people have helped.  In no particular order, thanks go to
