63641fb071 Merge branch 'js/log-to-diffopt-file'
The commands in the "log/diff" family have had an FILE* pointer in the
data structure they pass around for a long time, but some codepaths
used to always write to the standard output.  As a preparatory step
to make "git format-patch" available to the internal callers, these
codepaths have been updated to consistently write into that FILE*
instead.

64093fc06a blame,shortlog: don't make local option variables static
There's no need for these option variables to be static,
except that they are referenced by the options array itself,
which is static. But having all of this static is simply
unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other
commands, which either use a static global option list or a
true function-local one).

Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize
the variables (since we cannot rely on BSS to do so). This
is a net improvement to readability, though, as we can use
the more verbose initializers for our string_lists.

d6b16ce914 shortlog: don't warn on empty author
Git tries to avoid creating a commit with an empty author
name or email. However, commits created by older, less
strict versions of git may still be in the history.  There's
not much point in issuing a warning to stderr for an empty
author. The user can't do anything about it now, and we are
better off to simply include it in the shortlog output as an
empty name/email, and let the caller process it however they
see fit.

Older versions of shortlog differentiated between "author
header not present" (which complained) and "author
name/email are blank" (which included the empty ident in the
output).  But since switching to format_commit_message, we
complain to stderr about either case (linux.git has a blank
author deep in its history which triggers this).

We could try to restore the older behavior (complaining only
about the missing header), but in retrospect, there's not
much point in differentiating these cases. A missing
author header is bogus, but as for the "blank" case, the
only useful behavior is to add it to the "empty name"
collection.

9b21a34a96 shortlog: optimize out useless string list
If we are in "--summary" mode, then we do not care about the
actual list of subject onelines associated with each author.
We care only about the number. So rather than store a
string-list for each author full of "<none>", let's just
keep a count.

This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git from:

  real    0m5.194s
  user    0m5.028s
  sys     0m0.168s

to:

  real    0m5.057s
  user    0m4.916s
  sys     0m0.144s

That's about 2.5%.

ed7eba9022 shortlog: optimize out useless "<none>" normalization
If we are in --summary mode, we will always pass <none> to
insert_one_record, which will then do some normalization
(e.g., cutting out "[PATCH]"). There's no point in doing so
if we aren't going to use the result anyway.

This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git from:

  real    0m5.257s
  user    0m5.104s
  sys     0m0.156s

to:

  real    0m5.194s
  user    0m5.028s
  sys     0m0.168s

That's only 1%, but arguably the result is clearer to read,
as we're able to group our variable declarations inside the
conditional block. It also opens up further optimization
possibilities for future patches.

4e1d1a2eea shortlog: optimize "--summary" mode
If the user asked us only to show counts for each author,
rather than the individual summary lines, then there is no
point in us generating the summaries only to throw them
away. With this patch, I measured the following speedup for
"git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git (best-of-five):

  [before]
  real    0m5.644s
  user    0m5.472s
  sys     0m0.176s

  [after]
  real    0m5.257s
  user    0m5.104s
  sys     0m0.156s

That's only ~7%, but it's so easy to do, there's no good
reason not to. We don't have to touch any downstream code,
since we already fill in the magic string "<none>" to handle
commits without a message.

2db6b83d18 shortlog: replace hand-parsing of author with pretty-printer
When gathering the author and oneline subject for each
commit, we hand-parse the commit headers to find the
"author" line, and then continue past to the blank line at
the end of the header.

We can replace this tricky hand-parsing by simply asking the
pretty-printer for the relevant items. This also decouples
the author and oneline parsing, opening up some new
optimizations in further commits.

One reason to avoid the pretty-printer is that it might be
less efficient than hand-parsing. However, I measured no
slowdown at all running "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on
linux.git.

As a bonus, we also fix a memory leak in the (uncommon) case
that the author field is blank.

50250491bd shortlog: use strbufs to read from stdin
We currently use fixed-size buffers with fgets(), which
could lead to incorrect results in the unlikely event that a
line had something like "Author:" at exactly its 1024th
character.

But it's easy to convert this to a strbuf, and because we
can reuse the same buffer through the loop, we don't even
pay the extra allocation cost.

5c3894c39d shortlog: match both "Author:" and "author" on stdin
The original git-shortlog could read both the normal "git
log" output as well as "git log --format=raw". However, when
it was converted to C by b8ec592 (Build in shortlog,
2006-10-22), the trailing colon became mandatory, and we no
longer matched the raw output.

Given the amount of intervening time without any bug
reports, it's probable that nobody cares. But it's
relatively easy to fix, and the end result is hopefully more
readable than the original.

Note that this no longer matches "author: ", which we did
before, but that has never been a format generated by git.

a5481a6c94 convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.

Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor.  However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:

  show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);

Ideally we could say:

  show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });

but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:

  1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
     definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
     the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
     have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
     statement).

  2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
     be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
     "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
     is defined in one place.

  3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
     the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
     a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
     But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
     matter.

This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

cd4f09e383 shortlog: ignore commits with missing authors
Most of git's traversals are robust against minor breakages
in commit data. For example, "git log" will still output an
entry for a commit that has a broken encoding or missing
author, and will not abort the whole operation.

Shortlog, on the other hand, will die as soon as it sees a
commit without an author, meaning that a repository with
a broken commit cannot get any shortlog output at all.

Let's downgrade this fatal error to a warning, and continue
the operation.

We simply ignore the commit and do not count it in the total
(since we do not have any author under which to file it).
Alternatively, we could output some kind of "<empty>" record
to collect these bogus commits. It is probably not worth it,
though; we have already warned to stderr, so the user is
aware that such bogosities exist, and any placeholder we
came up with would either be syntactically invalid, or would
potentially conflict with real data.

ecaee8050c pretty: --format output should honor logOutputEncoding
One can set an alias
	$ git config [--global] alias.lg "log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset
	-%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cd) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset'
	--abbrev-commit --date=local"

to see the log as a pretty tree (like *gitk* but in a terminal).

However, log messages written in an encoding i18n.commitEncoding which differs
from terminal encoding are shown corrupted even when i18n.logOutputEncoding
and terminal encoding are the same (e.g. log messages committed on a Cygwin box
with Windows-1251 encoding seen on a Linux box with a UTF-8 encoding and vice versa).

To simplify an example we can say the following two commands are expected
to give the same output to a terminal:

	$ git log --oneline --no-color
	$ git log --pretty=format:'%h %s'

However, the former pays attention to i18n.logOutputEncoding
configuration, while the latter does not when it formats "%s".

The same corruption is true for
	$ git diff --submodule=log
and
	$ git rev-list --pretty=format:%s HEAD
and
	$ git reset --hard

This patch makes pretty --format honor logOutputEncoding when it formats
log message.

6bf139440c clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.

Let's clean this up in a few ways:

  1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
     This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
     functions, since we were just passing around the
     context values separately.

  2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
     was passed around separately. That's one less argument
     per function.

  3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
     calling a little more uniform.

This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

773b69bf71 shortlog: run setup_git_directory_gently() sooner
shortlog already runs a repository search unconditionally;
running such a search earlier is not very risky.

Without this change, the “[pager] shortlog” configuration
is not respected at all: “git shortlog” unconditionally paginates.

The tests are a bit slow.  Running the full battery like this
for all built-in commands would be counterproductive; the intent is
rather to test shortlog as a representative example command using
..._gently().

1d2f80fa79 string_list: Fix argument order for string_list_append
Update the definition and callers of string_list_append to use the
string_list as the first argument.  This helps make the string_list
API easier to use by being more consistent.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
