When running "git commit --amend" only to fix the commit log
message without any content change, we mistakenly showed the
git-status output that says "nothing to commit" without
commenting it out.
If you have already run update-index but you want to amend the
top commit, "git commit --amend --only" without any paths should
have worked, because --only means "starting from the base
commit, update-index these paths only to prepare the index to
commit, and perform the commit". However, we refused -o without
paths.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.
The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like
if (rev->logopt)
show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");
but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.
That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:
while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
free(commit->buffer);
commit->buffer = NULL;
}
so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.
I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.
This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

- "git commit" without _any_ parameter keeps the traditional
behaviour. It commits the current index.
We commit the whole index even when this form is run from a
subdirectory.
- "git commit --include paths..." (or "git commit -i paths...")
is equivalent to:
git update-index --remove paths...
git commit
- "git commit paths..." acquires a new semantics. This is an
incompatible change that needs user training, which I am
still a bit reluctant to swallow, but enough people seem to
have complained that it is confusing to them. It
1. refuses to run if $GIT_DIR/MERGE_HEAD exists, and reminds
trained git users that the traditional semantics now needs
-i flag.
2. refuses to run if named paths... are different in HEAD and
the index (ditto about reminding). Added paths are OK.
3. reads HEAD commit into a temporary index file.
4. updates named paths... from the working tree in this
temporary index.
5. does the same updates of the paths... from the working
tree to the real index.
6. makes a commit using the temporary index that has the
current HEAD as the parent, and updates the HEAD with this
new commit.
- "git commit --all" can run from a subdirectory, but it updates
the index with all the modified files and does a whole tree
commit.
- In all cases, when the command decides not to create a new
commit, the index is left as it was before the command is
run. This means that the two "git diff" in the following
sequence:
$ git diff
$ git commit -a
$ git diff
would show the same diff if you abort the commit process by
making the commit log message empty.
This commit also introduces much requested --author option.
$ git commit --author 'A U Thor <author@example.com>'

This changes the character used to mark the commits that is on the
branch from '+' to '*' for the current branch, to make it stand out.
Also we show '-' for merge commits.
When you have a handful branches with relatively long diversion, it
is easier to see which one is the current branch this way.

Because a batch-oriented script creates many commits within a second
on a fast machine, show-branch output of the test results are unstable
without topo-order.

Lacking reliable symlinks, the instructions in the tutorial did not work
in a cygwin setup. Also, a few outputs were not correct.
This patch fixes these, and adds a test case which follows the
instructions of the tutorial (except git-clone, -fetch and -push, which I
have not done yet).
