Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 3ac68a93fd help: add --config to list all available config
Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can
search for something they want. The config man page can also be used
but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name,
for example.

This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's
not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C
code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work.
This will do for now.

Jeff King fb3010c31f show-index: update documentation for index v2
Commit 32637cdf4a (show-index.c: learn about index v2,
2007-04-09) changed the output format of show-index to
include the object CRC32 but didn't update the
documentation. Let's fix that and generally describe the
output in more detail.

There are a few other fixes here while we're rewording:

 - refer to index-pack along with pack-objects, since either
   can create .idx files

 - use "linkgit:" for referring to other commands

 - expand the bit about verify-pack, giving reasons why you
   might want this command instead. I almost omitted this
   entirely, but referring to verify-pack might help a
   reader who is looking for more information.

Luke Diamand 123f631761 git-p4: add unshelve command
This can be used to "unshelve" a shelved P4 commit into
a git commit.

For example:

  $ git p4 unshelve 12345

The resulting commit ends up in the branch:
   refs/remotes/p4/unshelved/12345

If that branch already exists, it is renamed - for example
the above branch would be saved as p4/unshelved/12345.1.

git-p4 checks that the shelved changelist is based on files
which are at the same Perforce revision as the origin branch
being used for the unshelve (HEAD by default). If they are not,
it will refuse to unshelve. This is to ensure that the unshelved
change does not contain other changes mixed-in.

The reference branch can be changed manually with the "--origin"
option.

The change adds a new Unshelve command class. This just runs the
existing P4Sync code tweaked to handle a shelved changelist.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 3301d36b29 completion: add and use --list-cmds=alias
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command
collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before
this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In
"git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for
getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not
really count.

A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed
anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay
because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and
without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable.

There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before
"git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as
well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over
command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a
man page for external commands anyway.

This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by
category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when
completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting

different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash.

While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with

Ben Peart e8b2dc2c2a add status config and command line options for rename detection
After performing a merge that has conflicts git status will, by default,
attempt to detect renames which causes many objects to be examined.  In a
virtualized repo, those objects do not exist locally so the rename logic
triggers them to be fetched from the server. This results in the status call
taking hours to complete on very large repos vs seconds with this patch.

Add a new config status.renames setting to enable turning off rename
detection during status and commit.  This setting will default to the value
of diff.renames.

Add a new config status.renamelimit setting to to enable bounding the time
spent finding out inexact renames during status and commit.  This setting
will default to the value of diff.renamelimit.

Add --no-renames command line option to status that enables overriding the
config setting from the command line. Add --find-renames[=<n>] command line
option to status that enables detecting renames and optionally setting the
similarity index.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 5cc044e025 get_short_oid: sort ambiguous objects by type, then SHA-1
Change the output emitted when an ambiguous object is encountered so
that we show tags first, then commits, followed by trees, and finally
blobs. Within each type we show objects in hashcmp() order. Before
this change the objects were only ordered by hashcmp().

The reason for doing this is that the output looks better as a result,
e.g. the v2.17.0 tag before this change on "git show e8f2" would
display:

    hint: The candidates are:
    hint:   e8f2093055 tree
    hint:   e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name
    hint:   e8f21d02f7 blob
    hint:   e8f21d577c blob
    hint:   e8f25a3a50 tree
    hint:   e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src
    hint:   e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0
    hint:   e8f2867228 blob
    hint:   e8f28d537c tree
    hint:   e8f2a35526 blob
    hint:   e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries
    hint:   e8f2cf6ec0 tree

Now we'll instead show:

    hint:   e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0
    hint:   e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name
    hint:   e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src
    hint:   e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries
    hint:   e8f2093055 tree
    hint:   e8f25a3a50 tree
    hint:   e8f28d537c tree
    hint:   e8f2cf6ec0 tree
    hint:   e8f21d02f7 blob
    hint:   e8f21d577c blob
    hint:   e8f2867228 blob
    hint:   e8f2a35526 blob

Since we show the commit data in the output that's nicely aligned once
we sort by object type. The decision to show tags before commits is
pretty arbitrary. I don't want to order by object_type since there
tags come last after blobs, which doesn't make sense if we want to
show the most important things first.

I could display them after commits, but it's much less likely that
we'll display a tag, so if there is one it makes sense to show it
prominently at the top.

A note on the implementation: Derrick rightly pointed out[1] that
we're bending over backwards here in get_short_oid() to first
de-duplicate the list, and then emit it, but could simply do it in one
step.

The reason for that is that oid_array_for_each_unique() doesn't
actually require that the array be sorted by oid_array_sort(), it just
needs to be sorted in some order that guarantees that all objects with
the same ID are adjacent to one another, which (barring a hash
collision, which'll be someone else's problem) the sort_ambiguous()
function does.

I agree that would be simpler for this code, and had forgotten why I
initially wrote it like this[2]. But on further reflection I think
it's better to do more work here just so we're not underhandedly using
the oid-array API where we lie about the list being sorted. That would
break any subsequent use of oid_array_lookup() in subtle ways.

I could get around that by hacking the API itself to support this
use-case and documenting it, which I did as a WIP patch in [3], but I
think it's too much code smell just for this one call site. It's
simpler for the API to just introduce a oid_array_for_each() function
to eagerly spew out the list without sorting or de-duplication, and
then do the de-duplication and sorting in two passes.

It is not uncommon to request that the output remains visible in

it is a bit cumbersome to type, even when command completion is

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper

uppercase to keep it close to the final output.

This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's
a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers.

Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where
case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has

The graft file is deprecated now, so let's use replace refs in the example
in filter-branch's man page instead.

Thomas Gummerer f60a7b763f worktree: teach "add" to check out existing branches
Currently 'git worktree add <path>' creates a new branch named after the
basename of the path by default.  If a branch with that name already
exists, the command refuses to do anything, unless the '--force' option
is given.

However we can do a little better than that, and check the branch out if
it is not checked out anywhere else.  This will help users who just want
to check an existing branch out into a new worktree, and save a few
keystrokes.

As the current behaviour is to simply 'die()' when a branch with the name
of the basename of the path already exists, there are no backwards
compatibility worries here.

We will still 'die()' if the branch is checked out in another worktree,
unless the --force flag is passed.

Johannes Schindelin 25cff9f109 rebase -i --rebase-merges: add a section to the man page
The --rebase-merges mode is probably not half as intuitive to use as
its inventor hopes, so let's document it some.

Johannes Schindelin 7543f6f444 rebase -i: introduce --rebase-merges=[no-]rebase-cousins
When running `git rebase --rebase-merges` non-interactively with an
ancestor of HEAD as <upstream> (or leaving the todo list unmodified),
we would ideally recreate the exact same commits as before the rebase.

However, if there are commits in the commit range <upstream>.. that do not
have <upstream> as direct ancestor (i.e. if `git log <upstream>..` would
show commits that are omitted by `git log --ancestry-path <upstream>..`),
this is currently not the case: we would turn them into commits that have
<upstream> as direct ancestor.

Let's illustrate that with a diagram:

        C
      /   \
A - B - E - F
  \   /
    D

Currently, after running `git rebase -i --rebase-merges B`, the new branch
structure would be (pay particular attention to the commit `D`):

       --- C' --
      /         \
A - B ------ E' - F'
      \    /
        D'

This is not really preserving the branch topology from before! The
reason is that the commit `D` does not have `B` as ancestor, and
therefore it gets rebased onto `B`.

This is unintuitive behavior. Even worse, when recreating branch
structure, most use cases would appear to want cousins *not* to be
rebased onto the new base commit. For example, Git for Windows (the
heaviest user of the Git garden shears, which served as the blueprint
for --rebase-merges) frequently merges branches from `next` early, and
these branches certainly do *not* want to be rebased. In the example
above, the desired outcome would look like this:

       --- C' --
      /         \
A - B ------ E' - F'
  \        /
   -- D' --

Let's introduce the term "cousins" for such commits ("D" in the
example), and let's not rebase them by default. For hypothetical
use cases where cousins *do* need to be rebased, `git rebase
--rebase=merges=rebase-cousins` needs to be used.

Johannes Schindelin 1131ec9818 pull: accept --rebase=merges to recreate the branch topology
Similar to the `preserve` mode simply passing the `--preserve-merges`
option to the `rebase` command, the `merges` mode simply passes the
`--rebase-merges` option.

This will allow users to conveniently rebase non-trivial commit
topologies when pulling new commits, without flattening them.

Johannes Schindelin 8f6aed71d2 rebase: introduce the --rebase-merges option
Once upon a time, this here developer thought: wouldn't it be nice if,
say, Git for Windows' patches on top of core Git could be represented as
a thicket of branches, and be rebased on top of core Git in order to
maintain a cherry-pick'able set of patch series?

The original attempt to answer this was: git rebase --preserve-merges.

However, that experiment was never intended as an interactive option,
and it only piggy-backed on git rebase --interactive because that
command's implementation looked already very, very familiar: it was
designed by the same person who designed --preserve-merges: yours truly.

Some time later, some other developer (I am looking at you, Andreas!
;-)) decided that it would be a good idea to allow --preserve-merges to
be combined with --interactive (with caveats!) and the Git maintainer
(well, the interim Git maintainer during Junio's absence, that is)
agreed, and that is when the glamor of the --preserve-merges design
started to fall apart rather quickly and unglamorously.

The reason? In --preserve-merges mode, the parents of a merge commit (or
for that matter, of *any* commit) were not stated explicitly, but were
*implied* by the commit name passed to the `pick` command.

This made it impossible, for example, to reorder commits. Not to mention
to move commits between branches or, deity forbid, to split topic branches
into two.

Alas, these shortcomings also prevented that mode (whose original
purpose was to serve Git for Windows' needs, with the additional hope
that it may be useful to others, too) from serving Git for Windows'
needs.

Five years later, when it became really untenable to have one unwieldy,
big hodge-podge patch series of partly related, partly unrelated patches
in Git for Windows that was rebased onto core Git's tags from time to
time (earning the undeserved wrath of the developer of the ill-fated
git-remote-hg series that first obsoleted Git for Windows' competing
approach, only to be abandoned without maintainer later) was really
untenable, the "Git garden shears" were born [*1*/*2*]: a script,
piggy-backing on top of the interactive rebase, that would first
determine the branch topology of the patches to be rebased, create a
pseudo todo list for further editing, transform the result into a real
todo list (making heavy use of the `exec` command to "implement" the
missing todo list commands) and finally recreate the patch series on
top of the new base commit.

That was in 2013. And it took about three weeks to come up with the
design and implement it as an out-of-tree script. Needless to say, the
implementation needed quite a few years to stabilize, all the while the
design itself proved itself sound.

With this patch, the goodness of the Git garden shears comes to `git
rebase -i` itself. Passing the `--rebase-merges` option will generate
a todo list that can be understood readily, and where it is obvious
how to reorder commits. New branches can be introduced by inserting
`label` commands and calling `merge <label>`. And once this mode will
have become stable and universally accepted, we can deprecate the design
mistake that was `--preserve-merges`.
