The main argument parser goes ahead and tries to parse revs to make
things simpler for the sub-command implementations. But, it includes
enough special cases for different sub-commands. And it's difficult
having having to think about "is this info coming from an argument, or a
global variable?". So the main argument parser's effort to make things
"simpler" ends up just making it more confusing and complicated.
Begone with the 'revs' global variable; parse 'rev=$(...)' as needed in
individual 'cmd_*' functions.
Begone with the 'default' global variable. Its would-be value is
knowable just from which function we're in.
Begone with the 'ensure_single_rev' function. Its functionality can be
achieved by passing '--verify' to 'git rev-parse'.

Scripts needing to fuss with with adding $(git --exec-prefix) PATH
before loading git-sh-setup is a thing of the past. As far as I can
tell, it's been a thing of the past since since Git v1.2.0 (2006-02-12),
or more specifically, since 77cb17e940 (Exec git programs without using
PATH, 2006-01-10). However, it stuck around in contrib scripts and in
third-party scripts for long enough that it wasn't unusual to see.
Originally `git subtree` didn't fuss with PATH, but when people
(including the original subtree author) had problems, because it was a
common thing to see, it seemed that having subtree fuss with PATH was a
reasonable solution.
Here is an abridged history of fussing with PATH in subtree:
2987e6add3 (Add explicit path of git installation by 'git --exec-path', Gianluca Pacchiella, 2009-08-20)
As pointed out by documentation, the correct use of 'git-sh-setup' is
using $(git --exec-path) to avoid problems with not standard
installations.
-. git-sh-setup
+. $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup
33aaa697a2 (Improve patch to use git --exec-path: add to PATH instead, Avery Pennarun, 2009-08-26)
If you (like me) are using a modified git straight out of its source
directory (ie. without installing), then --exec-path isn't actually correct.
Add it to the PATH instead, so if it is correct, it'll work, but if it's
not, we fall back to the previous behaviour.
-. $(git --exec-path)/git-sh-setup
+PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
+. git-sh-setup
9c632ea29c ((Hopefully) fix PATH setting for msysgit, Avery Pennarun, 2010-06-24)
Reported by Evan Shaw. The problem is that $(git --exec-path) includes a
'git' binary which is incompatible with the one in /usr/bin; if you run it,
it gives you an error about libiconv2.dll.
+OPATH=$PATH
PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
. git-sh-setup
+PATH=$OPATH # apparently needed for some versions of msysgit
df2302d774 (Another fix for PATH and msysgit, Avery Pennarun, 2010-06-24)
Evan Shaw tells me the previous fix didn't work. Let's use this one
instead, which he says does work.
This fix is kind of wrong because it will run the "correct" git-sh-setup
*after* the one in /usr/bin, if there is one, which could be weird if you
have multiple versions of git installed. But it works on my Linux and his
msysgit, so it's obviously better than what we had before.
-OPATH=$PATH
-PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
+PATH=$PATH:$(git --exec-path)
. git-sh-setup
-PATH=$OPATH # apparently needed for some versions of msysgit
First of all, I disagree with Gianluca's reading of the documentation:
- I haven't gone back to read what the documentation said in 2009, but
in my reading of the 2021 documentation is that it includes "$(git
--exec-path)/" in the synopsis for illustrative purposes, not to say
it's the proper way.
- After being executed by `git`, the git exec path should be the very
first entry in PATH, so it shouldn't matter.
- None of the scripts that are part of git do it that way.
But secondly, the root reason for fussing with PATH seems to be that
Avery didn't know that he needs to set GIT_EXEC_PATH if he's going to
use git from the source directory without installing.
And finally, Evan's issue is clearly just a bug in msysgit. I assume
that msysgit has since fixed the issue, and also msysgit has been
deprecated for 6 years now, so let's drop the workaround for it.
So, remove the line fussing with PATH. However, since subtree *is* in
'contrib/' and it might get installed in funny ways by users
after-the-fact, add a sanity check to the top of the script, checking
that it is installed correctly.

"$*" is for when you want to concatenate the args together,
whitespace-separated; and "$@" is for when you want them to be separate
strings.
There are several places in subtree that erroneously use $@ when
concatenating args together into an error message.
For instance, if the args are argv[1]="dead" and argv[2]="beef", then
the line
die "You must provide exactly one revision. Got: '$@'"
surely intends to call 'die' with the argument
argv[1]="You must provide exactly one revision. Got: 'dead beef'"
however, because the line used $@ instead of $*, it will actually call
'die' with the arguments
argv[1]="You must provide exactly one revision. Got: 'dead"
argv[2]="beef'"
This isn't a big deal, because 'die' concatenates its arguments together
anyway (using "$*"). But that doesn't change the fact that it was a
mistake to use $@ instead of $*, even though in the end $@ still ended
up doing the right thing.

Suport for Git versions older than 1.7.0 (older than February 2010) was
nice to have when git-subtree lived out-of-tree. But now that it lives
in git.git, it's not necessary to keep around. While it's technically
in contrib, with the standard 'git' packages for common systems
(including Arch Linux and macOS) including git-subtree, it seems
vanishingly likely to me that people are separately installing
git-subtree from git.git alongside an older 'git' install (although it
also seems vanishingly likely that people are still using >11 year old
git installs).
Not that there's much reason to remove it either, it's not much code,
and none of my changes depend on a newer git (to my knowledge, anyway;
I'm not actually testing against older git). I just figure it's an easy
piece of fat to trim, in the journey to making the whole thing easier to
hack on.

Ensure that every $(subshell) that calls a function (as opposed to an
external executable) is followed by `|| exit $?`. Similarly, ensure that
every `cmd | while read; do ... done` loop is followed by `|| exit $?`.
Both of those constructs mean that it can miss `die` calls, and keep
running when it shouldn't.

Shove all of the loose code inside of a main() function.
This comes down to personal preference more than anything else. A
preference that I've developed over years of maintaining large Bash
scripts, but still a mere personal preference.
In this specific case, it's also moving the `set -- -h`, the `git
rev-parse --parseopt`, and the `. git-sh-setup` to be closer to all
the rest of the argument parsing, which is a readability win on its
own, IMO.

As far as I can tell, this test isn't actually testing anything, because
someone forgot to tack on `--name-only` to `git log`. This seems to
have been the case since the test was first written, back in fa16ab36ad
("test.sh: make sure no commit changes more than one file at a time.",
2009-04-26), unless `git log` used to do that by default and didn't need
the flag back then?
Convincing myself that it's not actually testing anything was tricky,
the code is a little hard to reason about. It can be made a lot simpler
if instead of trying to parse all of the info from a single `git log`,
we're OK calling `git log` from inside of a loop. And it's my opinion
that tests are not the place for clever optimized code.
So, fix and simplify the test, so that it's actually testing something
and is simpler to reason about.

It's unclear what the purpose of t7900-subtree.sh's
`subtree_test_create_repo` helper function is. It wraps test-lib.sh's,
`test_create_repo` but follows that up by setting log.date=relative. Why
does it set log.date=relative?
My first guess was that at one point the tests required that, but no
longer do, and that the function is now vestigial. I even wrote a patch
to get rid of it and was moments away from `git send-email`ing it.
However, by chance when looking for something else in the history, I
discovered the true reason, from e7aac44ed2 (contrib/subtree: ignore
log.date configuration, 2015-07-21). It's testing that setting
log.date=relative doesn't break `git subtree`, as at one point in the past
that did break `git subtree`.
So, add a comment about this, to avoid future such confusion.
And while at it, go ahead and (1) touch up the function to avoid a
pointless subshell and (2) update the one test that didn't use it.
