Johannes Schindelin 084ae0a7bd reflog inspection: introduce shortcut "-g"
A short-hand "-g" for "git log --walk-reflogs" and "git
show-branch --reflog" makes it easier to access the reflog
info.

[jc: added -g to show-branch for symmetry]

Johannes Schindelin 8860fd42fc Teach the revision walker to walk by reflogs with --walk-reflogs
When called with "--walk-reflogs", as long as there are reflogs
available, the walker will take this information into account, rather
than the parent information in the commit object.

Johannes Schindelin 883d60fa97 Sanitize for_each_reflog_ent()
It used to ignore the return value of the helper function; now, it
expects it to return 0, and stops iteration upon non-zero return
values; this value is then passed on as the return value of
for_each_reflog_ent().

Further, it makes no sense to force the parsing upon the helper
functions; for_each_reflog_ent() now calls the helper function with
old and new sha1, the email, the timestamp & timezone, and the message.

Shawn O. Pearce 71b03b42c6 Don't crash during repack of a reflog with pruned commits.
If the user has been using reflog for a long time (e.g. since its
introduction) then it is very likely that an existing branch's
reflog may still mention commits which have long since been pruned
out of the repository.

Rather than aborting with a very useless error message during
git-repack, pack as many valid commits as we can get from the
reflog and let the user know that the branch's reflog contains
already pruned commits.  A future 'git reflog expire' (or whatever
it finally winds up being called) can then be performed to expunge
those reflog entries.

This adds a new option --reflog to pack-objects and revision

When the option is passed, objects reachable from reflog entries

Junio C Hamano 85023577a8 simplify inclusion of system header files.
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

Junio C Hamano 5761231975 Make left-right automatic.
When using symmetric differences, I think the user almost always
would want to know which side of the symmetry each commit came
from.  So this removes --left-right option from the command
line, and turns it on automatically when a symmetric difference
is used ("git log --merge" counts as a symmetric difference
between HEAD and MERGE_HEAD).

Just in case, a new option --no-left-right is provided to defeat
this, but I do not know if it would be useful.

Junio C Hamano 577ed5c20b rev-list --left-right
The output from "symmetric diff", i.e. A...B, does not
distinguish between commits that are reachable from A and the
ones that are reachable from B.  In this picture, such a
symmetric diff includes commits marked with a and b.

         x---b---b  branch B
        / \ /
       /   .
      /   / \
     o---x---a---a  branch A

However, you cannot tell which ones are 'a' and which ones are
'b' from the output.  Sometimes this is frustrating.  This adds
an output option, --left-right, to rev-list.

        rev-list --left-right A...B

would show ones reachable from A prefixed with '<' and the ones
reachable from B prefixed with '>'.

When combined with --boundary, boundary commits (the ones marked
with 'x' in the above picture) are shown with prefix '-', so you
would see list that looks like this:

    git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B

    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3rd on b
    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 2nd on b

Junio C Hamano cb5d709ff8 Add callback data to for_each_ref() family.
This is a long overdue fix to the API for for_each_ref() family
of functions.  It allows the callers to specify a callback data
pointer, so that the caller does not have to use static
variables to communicate with the callback funciton.

The updated for_each_ref() family takes a function of type

	int (*fn)(const char *, const unsigned char *, void *)

and a void pointer as parameters, and calls the function with
the name of the ref and its SHA-1 with the caller-supplied void
pointer as parameters.

The commit updates two callers, builtin-name-rev.c and
builtin-pack-refs.c as an example.

Junio C Hamano 106d710bc1 pack-objects --unpacked=<existing pack> option.
Incremental repack without -a essentially boils down to:

	rev-list --objects --unpacked --all |
        pack-objects $new_pack

which picks up all loose objects that are still live and creates
a new pack.

This implements --unpacked=<existing pack> option to tell the
revision walking machinery to pretend as if objects in such a
pack are unpacked for the purpose of object listing.  With this,
we could say:

	rev-list --objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all |
	pack-objects $new_pack

instead, to mean "all live loose objects but pretend as if
objects that are in this pack are also unpacked".  The newly
created pack would be perfect for updating $active_pack by
replacing it.

Since pack-objects now knows how to do the rev-list's work
itself internally, you can also write the above example by:

	pack-objects --unpacked=$active_pack --all $new_pack </dev/null

Junio C Hamano 5d6f0935e6 revision.c: allow injecting revision parameters after setup_revisions().
setup_revisions() wants to get all the parameters at once and
then postprocesses the resulting revs structure after it is done
with them.  This code structure is a bit cumbersome to deal with
efficiently when we want to inject revision parameters from the
side (e.g. read from standard input).

Fortunately, the nature of this postprocessing is not affected by
revision parameters; they are affected only by flags.  So it is
Ok to do add_object() after the it returns.

This splits out the code that deals with the revision parameter
out of the main loop of setup_revisions(), so that we can later
call it from elsewhere after it returns.

Shawn Pearce e702496e43 Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them

of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion.

A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so
I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*.  This is a
reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char*
and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*.

Linus Torvalds 6631c73685 revision.c: --full-history fix.
With history simplification, we still show merges that are required
to make the history _complete_, i.e. say that you had:

	  a
	  |
	  b
	 / \
	c   d
	|   |

and neither "a" nor "b" actually changed the file, but both "c" and "d"
did: in this case we have to leave "b" around just because otherwise there
would be no way to show the _relationship_, even if "b" itself doesn't
actually change the tree in any way what-so-ever.

It would make sense to make that further simplification if the
"--parents" flag wasn't present.  In that case the user is
literally asking for a list of commits and is not interested in
the relationship between them.

This patch also fixes a real bug.  Without this patch, the
"--parents --full-history" combination (which you'd get if you
do something like

	gitk --full-history Makefile

or similar) will actually _drop_ merges where all children are identical.
That's wrong in the --full-history case, because it means that the graph
ends up missing lots of entries.

In the process, this also should make

	git-rev-list --full-history Makefile

give just the _true_ list of all commits that changed Makefile (and
properly ignore merges that were identical in one parent), because now
we're not asking for "--parent", so we don't need the unnecessary merge
commits to keep the history together.

Rene Scharfe 0d2c9d67d9 Add '...' operator for revisions
'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'.
This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set
theory.

The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the
existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is
already taken.

Timo Hirvonen 0e677e1a6b DIFF_FORMAT_RAW is not default anymore
diff_setup() used to initialize output_format to DIFF_FORMAT_RAW.  Now
the default is 0 (no output) so don't compare against DIFF_FORMAT_RAW to
see if any diff format command line flags were given.

Linus Torvalds 1f1e895fcc Add "named object array" concept
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually
grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to
name each object as it is generated.

That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful
for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody.

This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the
traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't
actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used
the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects.

The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it
really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing
over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler
(we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the
objects reversed from the order they were on the command line).

One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead
of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just
a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by
just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the
mozilla archive.

It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a
whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the
other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to
builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface
is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.

Linus Torvalds cb115748ec Some more memory leak avoidance
This is really the dregs of my effort to not waste memory in git-rev-list,
and makes barely one percent of a difference in the memory footprint, but
hey, it's also a pretty small patch.

It discards the parent lists and the commit buffer after the commit has
been shown by git-rev-list (and "git log" - which already did the commit
buffer part), and frees the commit list entry that was used by the
revision walker.

The big win would be to get rid of the "refs" pointer in the object
structure (another 5%), because it's only used by fsck. That would require
some pretty major surgery to fsck, though, so I'm timid and did the less
interesting but much easier part instead.

This (percentually) makes a bigger difference to "git log" and friends,
since those are walking _just_ commits, and thus the list entries tend to
be a bigger percentage of the memory use. But the "list all objects" case
does improve too.

Linus Torvalds 885a86abe2 Shrink "struct object" a bit
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the
"struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead.

In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which
incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object
when in 64-bit mode.

Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less
obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is
not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually
discarded.

This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the
kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla
archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a
64-bit platform.

There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example,
probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious.

Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer
from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx
small integer constant.
