"git tag" started listing a tag "foo" as "tags/foo" when a branch
named "foo" exists in the same repository; remove this unnecessary
disambiguation, which is a regression introduced in v2.7.0.
* jk/list-tag-2.7-regression:
tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"
t6300: use test_atom for some un-modern tests
Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11),
git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e.,
when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo"
instead of just "foo". This is both:
- pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only
refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in
"refs/tags".
and
- ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line
"foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new
output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or
"refs/tags/tags/foo".
The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched
git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output
formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more
general code does not know that we care only about tags, and
uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need
to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it
should shorten with respect to that value.
In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us
passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications
there:
1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting
code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let
alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct.
2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the
user. If we follow this path, it will mean that
"%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus
"for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"),
which can lead to confusion.
Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting
language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix
components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the
same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or
"for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same
consistent meaning in all places.
We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails
without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for
"git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is
likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting
code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

"git log --date=local" used to only show the normal (default)

Add support to sort by version using the "v:refname" and

which will eventually be ported to use ref-filter APIs.

Implement an `align` atom which left-, middle-, or right-aligns the
content between %(align:...) and %(end).
The "align:" is followed by `<width>` and `<position>` in any order
separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left, right or
middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total length of the
content with alignment. If the contents length is more than the width
then no alignment is performed. e.g. to align a refname atom to the
middle with a total width of 40 we can do:
--format="%(align:middle,40)%(refname)%(end)".
We introduce an `at_end` function for each element of the stack which
is to be called when the `end` atom is encountered. Using this we
implement end_align_handler() for the `align` atom, this aligns the
final strbuf by calling `strbuf_utf8_align()` from utf8.c.
Ensure that quote formatting is performed on the whole of
%(align:...)...%(end) rather than individual atoms inside. We skip
quote formatting for individual atoms when the current stack element
is handling an %(align:...) atom and perform quote formatting at the
end when we encounter the %(end) atom of the second element of then
stack.

The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it
only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax:
both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist.
The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent
in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands.,
2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants.
Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell,
git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and
git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the

Tries to shorten the refname to a non-ambiguous name.
Szeder Gábor noticed that the git bash completion takes a
tremendous amount of time to strip leading components from
heads and tags refs (i.e. refs/heads, refs/tags, ...). He
proposed a new atom called 'refbasename' which removes at
most two leading components from the ref name.
I myself, proposed a more dynamic solution, which strips off
common leading components with the matched pattern.
But the current bash solution and both proposals suffer from
one mayor problem: ambiguous refs.
A ref is ambiguous, if it resolves to more than one full refs.
I.e. given the refs refs/heads/xyzzy and refs/tags/xyzzy. The
(short) ref xyzzy can point to both refs.
( Note: Its irrelevant whether the referenced objects are the
same or not. )
This proposal solves this by checking for ambiguity of the
shorten ref name.
The shortening is done with the same rules for resolving refs
but in the reverse order. The short name is checked if it
resolves to a different ref.
To continue the above example, the output would be like this:
heads/xyzzy
xyzzy
So, if you want just tags, xyzzy is not ambiguous, because it
will resolve to a tag. If you need the heads you get a also
a non-ambiguous short form of the ref.
To integrate this new format into the bash completion to get
only non-ambiguous refs is beyond the scope of this patch.

Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using
"git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is
not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to
refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no
escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.)
This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command,
program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can
be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are
made to use the dashless form.
The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens
and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched
