grep: show --debug output only once
grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse tree
Our "grep" allows complex boolean expressions to be formed to match
each individual line with operators like --and, '(', ')' and --not.
Introduce the "--debug" option to show the parse tree to help people
who want to debug and enhance it.
Also "log" learns "--grep-debug" option to do the same. The command
line parser to the log family is a lot more limited than the general
"git grep" parser, but it has special handling for header matching
(e.g. "--author"), and a parse tree is valuable when working on it.
Note that "--all-match" is *not* any individual node in the parse
tree. It is an instruction to the evaluator to check all the nodes
in the top-level backbone have matched and reject a document as
non-matching otherwise.

The grep.extendedRegexp configuration setting enables the -E flag on grep
by default but there are no equivalents for the -G, -F and -P flags.
Rather than adding an additional setting for grep.fooRegexp for current
and future pattern matching options, add a grep.patternType setting that
can accept appropriate values for modifying the default grep pattern
matching behavior. The current values are "basic", "extended", "fixed",
"perl" and "default" for setting -G, -E, -F, -P and the default behavior
respectively.
When grep.patternType is set to a value other than "default", the
grep.extendedRegexp setting is ignored. The value of "default" restores
the current default behavior, including the grep.extendedRegexp
behavior.

"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from

"git grep -e '$pattern'", unlike the case where the patterns are read from
a file, did not treat individual lines in the given pattern argument as
separate regular expressions as it should.
Currently, patterns that contain newline characters don't match anything
when given to git grep. Regular grep(1) interprets patterns as lists of
newline separated search strings instead.
Implement this functionality by creating and inserting extra grep_pat
structures for patterns consisting of multiple lines when appending to
the pattern lists. For simplicity, all pattern strings are duplicated.
The original pattern is truncated in place to make it contain only the
first line.

There is currently no way for users to tell git-grep that a
particular path is or is not a binary file; instead, grep
always relies on its auto-detection (or the user specifying
"-a" to treat all binary-looking files like text).
This patch teaches git-grep to use the same attribute lookup
that is used by git-diff. We could add a new "grep" flag,
but that is unnecessarily complex and unlikely to be useful.
Despite the name, the "-diff" attribute (or "diff=foo" and
the associated diff.foo.binary config option) are really
about describing the contents of the path. It's simply
historical that diff was the only thing that cared about
these attributes in the past.
And if this simple approach turns out to be insufficient, we
still have a backwards-compatible path forward: we can add a
separate "grep" attribute, and fall back to respecting
"diff" if it is unset.

Right now, grep only uses the userdiff_driver for one thing:
looking up funcname patterns for "-p" and "-W". As new uses
for userdiff drivers are added to the grep code, we want to
minimize attribute lookups, which can be expensive.
It might seem at first that this would also optimize multiple
lookups when the funcname pattern for a file is needed
multiple times. However, the compiled funcname pattern is
already cached in struct grep_opt's "priv" member, so
multiple lookups are already suppressed.

Before the grep_source interface existed, grep_buffer was
used by two types of callers:
1. Ones which pulled a file into a buffer, and then wanted
to supply the file's name for the output (i.e.,
git grep).
2. Ones which really just wanted to grep a buffer (i.e.,
git log --grep).
Callers in set (1) should now be using grep_source. Callers
in set (2) always pass NULL for the "name" parameter of
grep_buffer. We can therefore get rid of this now-useless
parameter.

The main interface to the low-level grep code is
grep_buffer, which takes a pointer to a buffer and a size.
This is convenient and flexible (we use it to grep commit
bodies, files on disk, and blobs by sha1), but it makes it
hard to pass extra information about what we are grepping
(either for correctness, like overriding binary
auto-detection, or for optimizations, like lazily loading
blob contents).
Instead, let's encapsulate the idea of a "grep source",
including the buffer, its size, and where the data is coming
from. This is similar to the diff_filespec structure used by
the diff code (unsurprising, since future patches will
implement some of the same optimizations found there).
The diffstat is slightly scarier than the actual patch
content. Most of the modified lines are simply replacing
access to raw variables with their counterparts that are now
in a "struct grep_source". Most of the added lines were
taken from builtin/grep.c, which partially abstracted the
idea of grep sources (for file vs sha1 sources).
Instead of dropping the now-redundant code, this patch
leaves builtin/grep.c using the traditional grep_buffer
interface (which now wraps the grep_source interface). That
makes it easy to test that there is no change of behavior
(yet).

The multi-threaded git-grep code needs to serialize access
to the thread-unsafe read_sha1_file call. It does this with
a mutex that is local to builtin/grep.c.
Let's instead push this down into grep.c, where it can be
used by both builtin/grep.c and grep.c. This will let us
safely teach the low-level grep.c code tricks that involve

The low-level grep code traditionally didn't care about
threading, as it doesn't do any threading itself and didn't
call out to other non-thread-safe code. That changed with
0579f91 (grep: enable threading with -p and -W using lazy
attribute lookup, 2011-12-12), which pushed the lookup of
funcname attributes (which is not thread-safe) into the
low-level grep code.
As a result, the low-level code learned about a new global
"grep_attr_mutex" to serialize access to the attribute code.
A multi-threaded caller (e.g., builtin/grep.c) is expected
to initialize the mutex and set "use_threads" in the
grep_opt structure. The low-level code only uses the lock if
use_threads is set.
However, putting the use_threads flag into the grep_opt
struct is not the most logical place. Whether threading is
in use is not something that matters for each call to
grep_buffer, but is instead global to the whole program
(i.e., if any thread is doing multi-threaded grep, every
other thread, even if it thinks it is doing its own
single-threaded grep, would need to use the locking). In
practice, this distinction isn't a problem for us, because
the only user of multi-threaded grep is "git-grep", which
does nothing except call grep.
This patch turns the opt->use_threads flag into a global
flag. More important than the nit-picking semantic argument
above is that this means that the locking functions don't
need to actually have access to a grep_opt to know whether
to lock. Which in turn can make adding new locks simpler, as
we don't need to pass around a grep_opt.

We however need to be a bit more clever when the user asks more than one
"author" (or "committer"); because a commit has only one author (and one

Colorize the filename, line number, and separator in git grep output, as
GNU grep does. The colors are customizable through color.grep.<slot>.
The default is to only color the separator (in cyan), since this gives
the biggest legibility increase without overwhelming the user with
colors. GNU grep also defaults cyan for the separator, but defaults to
magenta for the filename and to green for the line number, as well.
There is one difference from GNU grep: When a binary file matches
without -a, GNU grep does not color the <file> in "Binary file <file>
matches", but we do.
Like GNU grep, if --null is given, the null separators are not colored.
For config.txt, use a a sub-list to describe the slots, rather than
a single paragraph with parentheses, since this is much more readable.

Historically, any grep filter in "git log" family of commands were taken
as restricting to commits with any of the words in the commit log message.
However, the user almost always want to find commits "done by this person
on that topic". With "--all-match" option, a series of grep patterns can
be turned into a requirement that all of them must produce a match, but
that makes it impossible to ask for "done by me, on either this or that"
with:
log --author=me --committer=him --grep=this --grep=that
because it will require both "this" and "that" to appear.
Change the "header" parser of grep library to treat the headers specially,
and parse it as:
(all-match-OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me)
(HEADER-COMMITTER him)
(OR
(PATTERN this)
(PATTERN that) ) )
Even though the "log" command line parser doesn't give direct access to
the extended grep syntax to group terms with parentheses, this change will
cover the majority of the case the users would want.
This incidentally revealed that one test in t7002 was bogus. It ran:
log --author=Thor --grep=Thu --format='%s'
and expected (wrongly) "Thu" to match "Thursday" in the author/committer
date, but that would never match, as the timestamp in raw commit buffer
does not have the name of the day-of-the-week.

When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation
tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was
enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the
search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR").
This had a few problems:
* When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"),
the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything;
* To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the
generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the
commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at
the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar
sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp
ourselves.
An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author "
(to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time.
While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for
matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail
match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author
was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but
because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with
that field name, regardleses of who wrote it.
Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep
machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes
sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line,
followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the
remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

This lets you say:
git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C
to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from
the files that have all of A, B and C.
This is different from
git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C
in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these
at the same time.

This further updates the built-in grep engine so that we can say
something like "this pattern should match only in head". This
can be used to simplify grepping in the log messages.

This makes three functions and associated option structures from
builtin-grep available from other parts of the system.
* options to drive built-in grep engine is stored in struct
grep_opt;
* pattern strings and extended grep expressions are added to
struct grep_opt with append_grep_pattern();
* when finished calling append_grep_pattern(), call
compile_grep_patterns() to prepare for execution;
* call grep_buffer() to find matches in the in-core buffer.
This also adds an internal option "status_only" to grep_opt,
which suppresses any output from grep_buffer(). Callers of the
function as library can use it to check if there is a match
without producing any output.
