Junio C Hamano 84b4202d80 status/commit: make sure --porcelain is not affected by user-facing config
The recent addition of status.branch started affecting what is shown
when "git status --porcelain" is run by mistake.  Identify the
configuration items that should be ignored under "--porcelain"
option, introduce a "deferred config" mechanism to keep the values
read from the configuration, and decide what value to use only after
we read both from configuration and command line.

Ramkumar Ramachandra f0915cbaf4 commit: make it work with status.short
With "status.short" set, it is now impossible to commit with
status.short set, because it acts like "git commit --short", and it
is impossible to differentiate between a status_format set by the
command-line option parser versus that set by the config parser.

To alleviate this problem, clear status_format as soon as the config
parser has finished its work.

Johan Herland 49c2470400 Move copy_note_for_rewrite + friends from builtin/notes.c to notes-utils.c
This is a pure code movement of the machinery for copying notes to
rewritten objects. This code was located in builtin/notes.c for
historical reasons. In order to make it available to builtin/commit.c
it was declared in builtin.h. This was more of an accident of history
than a concious design, and we now want to make this machinery more
widely available.

Hence, this patch moves the code into the new notes-utils.[hc] files
which are included into libgit.a. Except for adjusting #includes
accordingly, this patch merely moves the relevant functions verbatim
into the new files.

Johan Herland 80a14665b1 finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite(): Let caller provide commit message
When copying notes for a rewritten object, the resulting notes commit
would have the following hardcoded commit message:

  Notes added by 'git notes copy'

This is obviously bogus when the notes rewriting is performed by
'git commit --amend'.

Therefore, let the caller specify an appropriate notes commit message
instead of hardcoding it. The above message is used for 'git notes copy',
but when calling finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite() from builtin/commit.c,
we use the following message instead:

  Notes added by 'git commit --amend'

Brandon Casey a24a41ea9a git-commit: only append a newline to -m mesg if necessary
Currently, git will append two newlines to every message supplied via
the -m switch.  The purpose of this is to allow -m to be supplied
multiple times and have each supplied string become a paragraph in the
resulting commit message.

Normally, this does not cause a problem since any trailing newlines will
be removed by the cleanup operation.  If cleanup=verbatim for example,
then the trailing newlines will not be removed and will survive into the
resulting commit message.

Instead, let's ensure that the string supplied to -m is newline terminated,
but only append a second newline when appending additional messages.

Fixes the test in t7502.

Jeff King dd0d388c44 logmsg_reencode: never return NULL
The logmsg_reencode function will return the reencoded
commit buffer, or NULL if reencoding failed or no reencoding
was necessary. Since every caller then ends up checking for NULL
and just using the commit's original buffer, anyway, we can
be a bit more helpful and just return that buffer when we
would have returned NULL.

Since the resulting string may or may not need to be freed,
we introduce a logmsg_free, which checks whether the buffer
came from the commit object or not (callers either
implemented the same check already, or kept two separate
pointers, one to mark the buffer to be used, and one for the
to-be-freed string).

Pushing this logic into logmsg_* simplifies the callers, and
will let future patches lazily load the commit buffer in a
single place.

Jeff King 200ebe362c commit: drop useless xstrdup of commit message
When git-commit is asked to reuse a commit message via "-c",
we call read_commit_message, which looks up the commit and
hands back either the re-encoded result, or a copy of the
original. We make a copy in the latter case so that the
ownership semantics of the return value are clear (in either
case, it can be freed).

However, since we return a "const char *", and since the
resulting buffer's lifetime is the same as that of the whole
program, we never bother to free it at all.

Let's just drop the copy. That saves us a copy in the common
case. While it does mean we leak in the re-encode case, it
doesn't matter, since we are relying on program exit to free
the memory anyway.

The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end
users.  They have a choice between

 - Don't do it.  Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and

 - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add.

Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g.

    $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit

so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds.

Aaron Schrab 5a7da2dca1 hooks: Add function to check if a hook exists
Create find_hook() function to determine if a given hook exists and is
executable.  If it is, the path to the script will be returned,
otherwise NULL is returned.

This encapsulates the tests that are used to check for the existence of
a hook in one place, making it easier to modify those checks if that is
found to be necessary.  This also makes it simple for places that can
use a hook to check if a hook exists before doing, possibly lengthy,
setup work which would be pointless if no such hook is present.

The returned value is left as a static value from get_pathname() rather
than a duplicate because it is anticipated that the return value will
either be used as a boolean, immediately added to an argv_array list
which would result in it being duplicated at that point, or used to
actually run the command without much intervening work.  Callers which
need to hold onto the returned value for a longer time are expected to
duplicate the return value themselves.

Jeff King d6991ceedc ident: keep separate "explicit" flags for author and committer
We keep track of whether the user ident was given to us
explicitly, or if we guessed at it from system parameters
like username and hostname. However, we kept only a single
variable. This covers the common cases (because the author
and committer will usually come from the same explicit
source), but can miss two cases:

  1. GIT_COMMITTER_* is set explicitly, but we fallback for
     GIT_AUTHOR. We claim the ident is explicit, even though
     the author is not.

  2. GIT_AUTHOR_* is set and we ask for author ident, but
     not committer ident. We will claim the ident is
     implicit, even though it is explicit.

This patch uses two variables instead of one, updates both
when we set the "fallback" values, and updates them
individually when we read from the environment.

Rather than keep user_ident_sufficiently_given as a
compatibility wrapper, we update the only two callers to
check the committer_ident, which matches their intent and
what was happening already.

Jeff King f3f47a1e8d status: add --long output format option
You can currently set the output format to --short or
--porcelain. There is no --long, because we default to it
already. However, you may want to override an alias that
uses "--short" to get back to the default.

This requires a little bit of refactoring, because currently
we use STATUS_FORMAT_LONG internally to mean the same as
"the user did not specify anything". By expanding the enum
to include STATUS_FORMAT_NONE, we can distinguish between
the implicit and explicit cases. This effects these
conditions:

  1. The user has asked for NUL termination. With NONE, we
     currently default to turning on the porcelain mode.
     With an explicit --long, we would in theory use NUL
     termination with the long mode, but it does not support
     it. So we can just complain and die.

  2. When an output format is given to "git commit", we
     default to "--dry-run". This behavior would now kick in
     when "--long" is given, too.

"git commit --amend" let the user edit the log message and then died
when the human-readable committer name was given insufficiently by
getpwent(3).

Jeff King f20f3878ac commit: check committer identity more strictly
The identity of the committer will ultimately be pulled from
the ident code by commit_tree(). However, we make an attempt
to check the author and committer identity early, before the
user has done any manual work like inputting a commit
message. That lets us abort without them having to worry
about salvaging the work from .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG.

The early check for committer ident does not use the
IDENT_STRICT flag, meaning that it would not find an empty
name field. The motivation was presumably because we did not
want to be too restrictive, as later calls might be more lax
(for example, when we create the reflog entry, we do not
care too much about a real name). However, because
commit_tree will always get a strict identity to put in the
commit object itself, there is no point in being lax only to
die later (and in fact it is harmful, because the user will
have wasted time typing their commit message).

Incidentally, this bug was masked prior to 060d4bb, as the
initial loose call would taint the later strict call. So the
commit would succeed (albeit with a bogus committer line in
the commit object), and nobody noticed that our early check
did not match the later one.

"commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log
message, with or without "--allow-empty-message".

"git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to
rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they
have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but
it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era.
