Junio C Hamano 84cf246670 strbuf_branchname(): do not double-expand @{-1}~22
If you were on 'frotz' branch before you checked out your current
branch, "git merge @{-1}~22" means the same as "git merge frotz~22".

The strbuf_branchname() function, when interpret_branch_name() gives
up resolving "@{-1}~22" fully, returns "frotz" and tells the caller
that it only resolved "@{-1}" part of the input, mistakes this as a
total failure, and appends the whole thing to the result, yielding
"frotz@{-1}~22", which does not make any sense.

Inspect the return value from interpret_branch_name() a bit more
carefully.  When it errored out without consuming anything, we will
get -1 and we should return the whole thing.  Otherwise, we should
append the remainder (i.e. "~22" in the earlier example) to the
partially resolved name (i.e. "frotz").

The test suite adds enough number of checkout to make @{-12} in the
last test in t0100 that tried to check "we haven't flipped branches
that many times" error case succeed; raise the number to a hundred.

Felipe Contreras cdfd94837b Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
Typing 'HEAD' is tedious, especially when we can use '@' instead.

The reason for choosing '@' is that it follows naturally from the
ref@op syntax (e.g. HEAD@{u}), except we have no ref, and no
operation, and when we don't have those, it makes sens to assume
'HEAD'.

So now we can use 'git show @~1', and all that goody goodness.

Until now '@' was a valid name, but it conflicts with this idea, so
let's make it invalid. Probably very few people, if any, used this name.

Felipe Contreras 128fd54dae sha1_name: reorganize get_sha1_basic()
Through the years the functionality to handle @{-N} and @{u} has moved
around the code, and as a result, code that once made sense, doesn't any
more.

There is no need to call this function recursively with the branch of
@{-N} substituted because dwim_{ref,log} already replaces it.

However, there's one corner-case where @{-N} resolves to a detached
HEAD, in which case we wouldn't get any ref back.

So we parse the nth-prior manually, and deal with it depending on
whether it's a SHA-1, or a ref.

Junio C Hamano 1b7b22bfd0 Merge branch 'jc/sha1-name-object-peeler'
There was no good way to ask "I have a random string that came from
outside world. I want to turn it into a 40-hex object name while
making sure such an object exists".  A new peeling suffix ^{object}
can be used for that purpose, together with "rev-parse --verify".

  peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler

2013-04-03 09:34:54 -07:00
Junio C Hamano a6a3f2cc07 peel_onion(): teach $foo^{object} peeler
A string that names an object can be suffixed with ^{type} peeler to
say "I have this object name; peel it until you get this type. If
you cannot do so, it is an error".  v1.8.2^{commit} asks for a commit
that is pointed at an annotated tag v1.8.2; v1.8.2^{tree} unwraps it
further to the top-level tree object.  A special suffix ^{} (i.e. no
type specified) means "I do not care what it unwraps to; just peel
annotated tag until you get something that is not a tag".

When you have a random user-supplied string, you can turn it to a
bare 40-hex object name, and cause it to error out if such an object
does not exist, with:

	git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{}"

for most objects, but this does not yield the tag object name when
$userstring refers to an annotated tag.

Introduce a new suffix, ^{object}, that only makes sure the given
name refers to an existing object.  Then

	git rev-parse --verify "$userstring^{object}"

becomes a way to make sure $userstring refers to an existing object.

This is necessary because the plumbing "rev-parse --verify" is only
about "make sure the argument is something we can feed to get_sha1()
and turn it into a raw 20-byte object name SHA-1" and is not about
"make sure that 20-byte object name SHA-1 refers to an object that
exists in our object store".  When the given $userstring is already
a 40-hex, by definition "rev-parse --verify $userstring" can turn it
into a raw 20-byte object name.  With "$userstring^{object}", we can
make sure that the 40-hex string names an object that exists in our
object store before "--verify" kicks in.

Junio C Hamano 98f85ff4b6 reflog: add for_each_reflog_ent_reverse() API
"git checkout -" is a short-hand for "git checkout @{-1}" and the
"@{nth}" notation for a negative number is to find nth previous
checkout in the reflog of the HEAD to determine the name of the
branch the user was on.  We would want to find the nth most recent
reflog entry that matches "checkout: moving from X to Y" for this.

Unfortunately, reflog is implemented as an append-only file, and the
API to iterate over its entries, for_each_reflog_ent(), reads the
file in order, giving the entries from the oldest to newer.  For the
purpose of finding nth most recent one, this API forces us to record
the last n entries in a rotating buffer and give the result out only
after we read everything.  To optimize for a common case of finding
the nth most recent one for a small value of n, we also have a side
API for_each_recent_reflog_ent() that starts reading near the end of
the file, but it still has to read the entries in the "wrong" order.
The implementation of understanding @{-1} uses this interface.

This all becomes unnecessary if we add an API to let us iterate over
reflog entries in the reverse order, from the newest to older.

Junio C Hamano daba53aeaf sha1_name.c: add support for disambiguating other types
This teaches the revision parser that in "$name:$path" (used for a
blob object name), "$name" must be a tree-ish.

There are many more places where we know what types of objects are
called for.  This patch adds support for "commit", "treeish", "tree",
and "blob", which could be used in the following contexts:

 - "git apply --build-fake-ancestor" reads the "index" lines from
   the patch; they must name blob objects (not even "blob-ish");

 - "git commit-tree" reads a tree object name (not "tree-ish"), and
   zero or more commit object names (not "committish");

 - "git reset $rev" wants a committish; "git reset $rev -- $path"
   wants a treeish.

They will come in later patches in the series.

Junio C Hamano c005e98612 get_sha1(): fix error status regression
In finish_object_disambiguation(), if the candidate hasn't been
checked, there are two cases:

 - It is the first and only object that match the prefix; or
 - It replaced another object that matched the prefix but that
   object did not satisfy ds->fn() callback.

And the former case we set ds->candidate_ok to true without doing
anything else, while for the latter we check the candidate, which
may set ds->candidate_ok to false.

At this point in the code, ds->candidate_ok can be false only if
this last-round check found that the candidate does not pass the
check, because the state after update_candidates() returns cannot
satisfy

    !ds->ambiguous && ds->candidate_exists && ds->candidate_checked

and !ds->canidate_ok at the same time.

Hence, when we execute this "return", we know we have seen more than
one object that match the prefix (and none of them satisfied ds->fn),
meaning that we should say "the short name is ambiguous", not "there
is no object that matches the prefix".

Junio C Hamano a78fafe74a sha1_name.c: restructure disambiguation of short names
We try to find zero, one or more matches from loose objects and
packed objects independently and then decide if the given short
object name is unique across them.

Instead, introduce a "struct disambiguate_state" that keeps track of
what we have found so far, that can be one of:

 - We have seen one object that _could_ be what we are looking for;
 - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
   and found that the object satisfies it;
 - We have also checked that object for additional constraints (if any),
   and found that the object does not satisfy it; or
 - We have seen more than one objects that satisfy the constraints.

and pass it to the enumeration functions for loose and packed
objects.  The disambiguation state can optionally take a callback
function that takes a candidate object name and reports if the
object satisifies additional criteria (e.g. when the caller knows
that the short name must refer to a commit, this mechanism can be
used to check the type of the given object).

Compared to the earlier attempt, this round avoids the optional
check if there is only one candidate that matches the short name in
the first place.

because existing-file is a path and not a revision, the code
verifies that the arguments that follow to be paths.  This leads to
an incorrect message like "existing-file does not exist in HEAD",
even though the path exists in HEAD.

When using @{u} or @{upstream} it is common to omit the branch name,
implying current branch. If the upstream is not configured, the error
message was "No upstream branch found for ''".

When resolving '@{u}', branch_get() is called, which almost always
returns a description of a branch. This allows us to use a branch name
in the error message, even if the user said something like '@{u}'.

The only case when branch_get() returns NULL is when HEAD points to so
something which is not a branch. Of course this also means that no
upstream is configured, but it is better to directly say that HEAD
does not point to a branch.

Both dwim_ref()/dwim_log() functions are intimately related to the ref
parsing rules defined in refs.c and better fits there. Move them together

Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

Junio C Hamano 2e83b66c32 fix overslow :/no-such-string-ever-existed diagnostics
"git cmd :/no-such-string-ever-existed" runs an extra round of get_sha1()
since 009fee4 (Detailed diagnosis when parsing an object name fails.,
2009-12-07).  Once without error diagnosis to see there is no commit with
such a string in the log message (hence "it cannot be a ref"), and after
seeing that :/no-such-string-ever-existed is not a filename (hence "it
cannot be a path, either"), another time to give "better diagnosis".

The thing is, the second time it runs, we already know that traversing the
history all the way down to the root will _not_ find any matching commit.

Rename misguided "gently" parameter, which is turned off _only_ when the
"detailed diagnosis" codepath knows that it cannot be a ref and making the
call only for the caller to die with a message.  Flip its meaning (and
adjust the callers) and call it "only_to_die", which is not a great name,
but it describes far more clearly what the codepaths that switches their
behaviour based on this variable do.

On my box, the command spends ~1.8 seconds without the patch to make the
report; with the patch it spends ~1.12 seconds.

Junio C Hamano 9619617d33 fix overstrict :<path> diagnosis
Given "git log :", we get a disambiguation message that tries to be
helpful and yet totally misses the point, i.e.

    $ git log :
    fatal: Path '' does not exist (neither on disk nor in the index).
    $ git log :/
    fatal: Path '/' exists on disk, but not in the index.

An empty path nor anything that begins with '/' cannot possibly in the
index, and it is wrong to guess that the user might have meant to access
such an index entry.

It should yield the same error message as "git log '*.c'", i.e.

    $ git log '*.c'

the fact that the code has many irregular exit points, and doing it right

has to live within a single iteration, ever.  This should make the logic

was reachable from only one ref.

The mask bits given to pop_most_recent_commit(&list, MASK) means "I have
already been on the list to be processed, so please do not place me again
even if I am found to be a parent of some other commit on the list."  So
mark them when we add them to the list at the beginning.

Jeff King 003c6abdb2 dwim_ref: fix dangling symref warning
If we encounter a symref that is dangling, in most cases we will warn
about it. The one exception is a dangling HEAD, as that indicates a
branch yet to be born.

However, the check in dwim_ref was not quite right. If we were fed
something like "HEAD^0" we would try to resolve "HEAD", see that it is
dangling, and then check whether the _original_ string we got was
"HEAD" (which it wasn't in this case). And that makes no sense; the
dangling thing we found was not "HEAD^0" but rather "HEAD".

Fixing this squelches a scary warning from "submodule summary HEAD" (and
consequently "git status" with status.submodulesummary set) in an empty
repo, as the submodule script calls "git rev-parse -q --verify HEAD^0".

Junio C Hamano 93cfa7c7a8 approxidate_careful() reports errorneous date string
For a long time, the time based reflog syntax (e.g. master@{yesterday})
didn't complain when the "human readable" timestamp was misspelled, as
the underlying mechanism tried to be as lenient as possible.  The funny
thing was that parsing of "@{now}" even relied on the fact that anything
not recognized by the machinery returned the current timestamp.

Introduce approxidate_careful() that takes an optional pointer to an
integer, that gets assigned 1 when the input does not make sense as a
timestamp.

As I am too lazy to fix all the callers that use approxidate(), most of
the callers do not take advantage of the error checking, but convert the
code to parse reflog to use it as a demonstration.

Tests are mostly from Jeff King.

2010-01-22 16:08:13 -08:00
Junio C Hamano ae0ba8e20a Teach @{upstream} syntax to strbuf_branchanme()
This teaches @{upstream} syntax to interpret_branch_name(), instead
of dwim_ref() machinery.

There are places in git UI that behaves differently when you give a local
branch name and when you give an extended SHA-1 expression that evaluates
to the commit object name at the tip of the branch.  The intent is that
the special syntax such as @{-1} can stand in as if the user spelled the
name of the branch in such places.

The name of the branch "frotz" to switch to ("git checkout frotz"), and
the name of the branch "nitfol" to fork a new branch "frotz" from ("git
checkout -b frotz nitfol"), are examples of such places.  These places
take only the name of the branch (e.g. "frotz"), and they are supposed to
act differently to an equivalent refname (e.g. "refs/heads/frotz"), so
hooking the @{upstream} and @{-N} syntax to dwim_ref() is insufficient
when we want to deal with cases a local branch is forked from another
local branch and use "forked@{upstream}" to name the forkee branch.

The "upstream" syntax "forked@{u}" is to specify the ref that "forked" is
configured to merge with, and most often the forkee is a remote tracking
branch, not a local branch.  We cannot simply return a local branch name,
but that does not necessarily mean we have to returns the full refname
(e.g. refs/remotes/origin/frotz, when returning origin/frotz is enough).
This update calls shorten_unambiguous_ref() to do so.

current branch.

This allows you to run, for example,

	for l in list of local branches
	do
		git log --oneline --left-right $l...$l@{upstream}
	done

to inspect each of the local branches you are interested in for the

Junio C Hamano 619a644d6d "checkout A...B" switches to the merge base between A and B
When flipping commits around on topic branches, I often end up doing
this sequence:

 * Run "log --oneline next..jc/frotz" to find out the first commit
   on 'jc/frotz' branch not yet merged to 'next';

 * Run "checkout $that_commit^" to detach HEAD to the parent of it;

 * Rebuild the series on top of that commit; and

 * "show-branch jc/frotz HEAD" and "diff jc/frotz HEAD" to verify.

Introduce a new syntax to "git checkout" to name the commit to switch to,
to make the first two steps easier.  When the branch to switch to is
specified as A...B (you can omit either A or B but not both, and HEAD
is used instead of the omitted side), the merge base between these two
commits are computed, and if there is one unique one, we detach the HEAD
at that commit.

With this, I can say "checkout next...jc/frotz".

which branch you were on after switching branches for more than several

Instead of reading the reflog twice, this reads the branch switching event
and keeps as many entries as the user asked from the latest such entries,
which is the minimum required to be able to switch back to the branch we

tell this part from @{nth} style notation by looking to see if the

The value 100000000 was chosen as it is already used by date.c to
disambiguate yyyymmdd format from a seconds-since-epoch time value.

A reflog with 100,000,000 record entries is also simply not valid.

We never actually munge the string itself, but instead keep
offsets into the string with their associated lengths.

When we call approxidate on the contents inside braces,
however, we pass just a string without a length. This means
that approxidate could sometimes look past the closing brace
and (erroneously) interpret the rest of the string as part

Linus Torvalds 621ff67594 rev-parse: fix meaning of rev~ vs rev~0.
I think it would make more sense for rev~ to have the same guarantees that
rev^ has, namely to always return a commit. I would also suggest that not
giving a number would have the same effect of defaulting to 1, not 0.

Right now it's a bit illogical, but at least it's an _undocumented_
illogical behaviour.

This patch makes '^' and '~' act the same for the default count (i.e. both
default to 1), and also have the same behaviour for a count of zero.

Before (no discernible pattern):

	[torvalds@woody git]$ git rev-parse v1.5.1 v1.5.1^0 v1.5.1~0 v1.5.1^ v1.5.1~

The function returned NULL when no object that matches the name
was found, but that made the callers more complicated, as nobody
used that NULL return as an indication that no object with such
a name exists.  They (at least the careful ones) instead took
the full 40-hexdigit and used in such a case, and the careless
ones segfaulted.

With this "git rev-parse --short 5555555555555555555555555555555555555555"
would stop segfaulting.

This is based on Jeff King's rewrite to my RFC patch, but "missing"
logic swapped to "exists".  The final logic reads:

    For existing objects, make sure the abbreviated string uniquely
    identifies it.  Otherwise, make sure the abbreviated string is

Jim Meyering 8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.

Steffen Prohaska 79803322c1 add refname_match()
We use at least two rulesets for matching abbreviated refnames with
full refnames (starting with 'refs/').  git-rev-parse and git-fetch
use slightly different rules.

This commit introduces a new function refname_match
(const char *abbrev_name, const char *full_name, const char **rules).

abbrev_name is expanded using the rules and matched against full_name.
If a match is found the function returns true.  rules is a NULL-terminate
list of format patterns with "%.*s", for example:

    const char *ref_rev_parse_rules[] = {
               "%.*s",
               "refs/%.*s",
               "refs/tags/%.*s",
               "refs/heads/%.*s",
               "refs/remotes/%.*s",
               "refs/remotes/%.*s/HEAD",
               NULL
    };

Asterisks are included in the format strings because this is the form
required in sha1_name.c.  Sharing the list with the functions there is
a good idea to avoid duplicating the rules.  Hopefully this
facilitates unified matching rules in the future.

This commit makes the rules used by rev-parse for resolving refs to
sha1s available for string comparison.  Before this change, the rules
were buried in get_sha1*() and dwim_ref().

A follow-up commit will refactor the rules used by fetch.

refname_match() will be used for matching refspecs in git-send-pack.

Thanks to Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> for pointing
out that ref_matches_abbrev in remote.c solves a similar problem

the output format, and a separate specialized function for dates
in E-mails does not make much sense anymore.

This retires show_rfc2822_date() function and make it just
another date output format.

Shawn O. Pearce 693d2bc625 Attempt to delay prepare_alt_odb during get_sha1
Not every input value passed to get_sha1 is an abbreviated SHA-1.
Its actually quite common for refs to be passed and for those
refs to resolve to full SHA-1s, in which case we may not need to
initialize the alternate object database list in this process.

I'm relocating the call to prepare_alt_odb closer to the code
that actually needs it to maintain the fix first introduced by
Junio in 99a19b43 (to avoid ambiguous SHA-1 abbreviations from
being accepted).  This allows us to avoid the alt_odb list setup
if we won't actually need it.

The coming index format change doesn't allow for the number of objects
to be determined from the size of the index file directly.  Instead, Let's
initialize a field in the packed_git structure with the object count when
the index is validated since the count is always known at that point.

While at it let's reorder some struct packed_git fields to avoid padding

This fixes things up so that we use the ref-name throughout, and only
turn it into a pathname once we actually look it up in the filesystem.

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.

Linus Torvalds 5119602a99 get_sha1() shorthands for blob/tree objects
This is a fairly straightforward patch to allow "get_sha1()" to also have
shorthands for tree and blob objects.

The syntax is very simple and intuitive: you can specify a tree or a blob
by simply specifying <revision>:<path>, and get_sha1() will do the SHA1
lookup from the tree for you.

You can currently do it with "git ls-tree <rev> <path>" and parsing the
output, but that's actually pretty awkward.

With this, you can do something like

	git cat-file blob v1.2.4:Makefile

to get the contents of "Makefile" at revision v1.2.4.

Now, this isn't necessarily something you really need all that often, but
the concept itself is actually pretty powerful. We could, for example,
allow things like

	git diff v0.99.6:git-commit-script..v1.3.0:git-commit.sh

to see the difference between two arbitrary files in two arbitrary
revisions. To do that, the only thing we'd have to do is to make
git-diff-tree accept two blobs to diff, in addition to the two trees it
now expects.

Junio C Hamano 0601dbe178 get_sha1_1: allow octopus^12 to be properly parsed.
We probably thought anybody who does more than 9 parents in an
Octopus is insane when this was initially done, but there is no
inherent reason to limit the number of independent topic
branches that happen to mature at the same time.

Our commit-tree allows up to 16 already, so at least we should
prepare to handle what we can produce, if only to be consistent.

Junio C Hamano c054d64e87 Revert "get_sha1_basic(): corner case ambiguity fix"
This reverts 6677c4665a commit.

Junio C Hamano 011fbc7f07 Remove misguided branch disambiguation.
This removes the misguided attempt to refuse processing a branch
name xyzzy and insist it to be given as either heads/xyzzy or
tags/xyzzy when a tag xyzzy exists.  There was no reason to do
so --- the search order was predictable and well defined, so if
the user says xyzzy we should have taken the tag xyzzy in such a
case without complaining.

This incidentally fixes another subtle bug related to this.  If
such a duplicate branch/tag name happened to be a unique valid
prefix of an existing commit object name (say, "beef"), we did
not take the tag "beef" but after complaining used the commit
object whose name started with beef.

Another problem this fixes while introducing some confusion is
that there is no longer a reason to forbid a branch name HEAD
anymore.  In other words, now "git pull . ref1:HEAD" would work
as expected, once we revert "We do not like HEAD branch" patch.
It creates "HEAD" branch under ${GIT_DIR-.git}/refs/heads (or
fast-forwards if already exists) using the tip of ref1 branch
from the current repository, and merges it into the current
branch.

Junio C Hamano 6677c4665a get_sha1_basic(): corner case ambiguity fix
When .git/refs/heads/frotz and .git/refs/tags/frotz existed, and
the object name stored in .git/refs/heads/frotz were corrupt, we
ended up picking tags/frotz without complaining.  Worse yet, if
the corrupt .git/refs/heads/frotz was more than 40 bytes and
began with hexadecimal characters, it silently overwritten the
initial part of the returned result.

This commit adds a couple of tests to demonstrate these cases,
with a fix.

Linus Torvalds af13cdf298 Be more careful about reference parsing
This does two things:

 - we don't allow "." and ".." as components of a refname. Thus get_sha1()
   will not accept "./refname" as being the same as "refname" any more.

 - git-rev-parse stops doing revision translation after seeing a pathname,
   to match the brhaviour of all the tools (once we see a pathname,
   everything else will also be parsed as a pathname).

Basically, if you did

	git log *

and "gitk" was somewhere in the "*", we don't want to replace the filename
"gitk" with the SHA1 of the branch with the same name.

Of course, if there is any change of ambiguity, you should always use "--"
to make it explicit what are filenames and what are revisions, but this
makes the normal cases sane. The refname rule also means that instead of
the "--", you can do the same thing we're used to doing with filenames
that start with a slash: use "./filename" instead, and now it's a
filename, not an option (and not a revision).

So "git log ./*.c" is now actually a perfectly valid thing to do, even if
the first C-file might have the same name as a branch.

Trivial test:

	git-rev-parse gitk ./gitk gitk

should output something like

	9843c3074d
	./gitk
	gitk

where the "./gitk" isn't seen as a revision, and the second "gitk" is a
filename simply because we've seen filenames already, and thus stopped
doing revision parsing.

Junio C Hamano 5385f52da8 Introduce notation "ref^{type}".
Existing "tagname^0" notation means "dereference tag zero or more
times until you cannot dereference it anymore, and make sure it is a
commit -- otherwise barf".  But tags do not necessarily reference
commit objects.

This commit introduces a bit more generalized notation, "ref^{type}".
Existing "ref^0" is a shorthand for "ref^{commit}".  If the type
is empty, it just dereferences tags until it hits a non-tag object.

With this, "git-rev-parse --verify 'junio-gpg-pub^{}'" shows the blob
object name -- there is no need to manually read the tag object and
find out the object name anymore.

"git-rev-parse --verify 'HEAD^{tree}'" can be used to find out the
tree object name of the HEAD commit.

This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,

The "get_sha1_hex()" function is designed to work with SHA1 hex strings
that may be followed by arbitrary crud. However, that's not acceptable for
"get_sha1()" which is used for command line arguments etc: we don't want
