7952ea66e7 format-patch: give --reroll-count a short synonym -v
Accept "-v" as a synonym to "--reroll-count", so that users can say
"git format-patch -v4 master", instead of having to fully spell it
out as "git format-patch --reroll-count=4 master".

As I do not think of a reason why users would want to tell the
command to be "verbose", I think this should be OK.

20b630aae9 format-patch: pick up correct branch name from symbolic ref
find_branch_name() assumes to take refs/heads/<branch>. But we also
have symbolic refs, such as HEAD, that can point to a valid branch in
refs/heads and do not follow refs/heads/<branch> syntax. Remove the
assumption and apply normal ref resolution. After all it would be
confusing if rev machinery resolves a ref in one way and
find_branch_name() another.

5fe10fe80a format-patch: add --reroll-count=$N option
The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:

 - Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified.  As the default
   subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
   "PATCH v2".

 - Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files.  The cover
   letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
   v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.

This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds.  The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
the patches belonging to the second iteration easily.

d28b5d47ab get_patch_filename(): split into two functions
The function switched between two operating modes depending on the
NULL-ness of its two parameters, as a hacky way to share small part
of implementation, sacrificing cleanliness of the API.

Implement "fmt_output_subject()" function that takes a subject
string and gives the name for the output file, and on top of it,
implement "fmt_output_commit()" function that takes a commit and
gives the name for the output file.

ca92e59e30 teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sorting
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes
place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided
revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk
HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result
(unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they
will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that
introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about
--no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to
allow things like

 git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk

to show all refs in order by commit date.

But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such
as

 <command producing revisions in order> |
       git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin

To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort
up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting
to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

f9c75d858d log: fix --quiet synonym for -s
Originally the "--quiet" option was parsed by the
diff-option parser into the internal QUICK option. This had
the effect of silencing diff output from the log (which was
not intended, but happened to work and people started to
use it). But it also had other odd side effects at the diff
level (for example, it would suppress the second commit in
"git show A B").

To fix this, commit 1c40c36 converted log to parse-options
and handled the "quiet" option separately, not passing it
on to the diff code. However, it simply ignored the option,
which was a regression for people using it as a synonym for
"-s". Commit 01771a8 then fixed that by interpreting the
option to add DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT to the list of output
formats.

However, that commit did not fix it in all cases. It sets
the flag after setup_revisions is called. Naively, this
makes sense because you would expect the setup_revisions
parser to overwrite our output format flag if "-p" or
another output format flag is seen.

However, that is not how the NO_OUTPUT flag works. We
actually store it in the bit-field as just another format.
At the end of setup_revisions, we call diff_setup_done,
which post-processes the bitfield and clears any other
formats if we have set NO_OUTPUT. By setting the flag after
setup_revisions is done, diff_setup_done does not have a
chance to make this tweak, and we end up with other format
options still set.

As a result, the flag would have no effect in "git log -p
--quiet" or "git show --quiet".  Fix it by setting the
format flag before the call to setup_revisions.

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,

c73f384f92 format-patch: use GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL in message ids
Before commit 43ae9f4, we generated the tail of a message id
by calling git_committer_info and parsing the email out of
the result. 43ae9f4 changed to use ident_default_email
directly, so we didn't have to bother with parsing. As a
side effect, it meant we no longer used GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
at all.

In general, this is probably reasonable behavior. Either the
default email is sane on your system, or you are using
user.email to provide something sane. The exception is if
you rely on GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL being set all the time to
override the bogus generated email.

This is unlikely to match anybody's real-life setup, but we
do use it in the test environment. And furthermore, it's
what we have always done, and the change in 43ae9f4 was
about cleaning up, not fixing any bug; we should be
conservative and keep the behavior identical.

For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen

Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a
wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch,

Use the description for the branch when preparing the cover letter

While at it, mark a loosely written codepath that would do a random and
useless thing given an unusual input (e.g. "^master HEAD HEAD^"), which

787570c7cd format-patch: ignore ui.color
commit c9bfb953 (want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui,
2011-08-17) introduced a regression where format-patch produces colorized
patches when color.ui is set to "always".

In f3aafa4 (Disable color detection during format-patch, 2006-07-09),
git_format_config was taught to intercept diff.color to avoid passing it
down to git_log_config and later, git_diff_ui_config.

Teach git_format_config to intercept color.ui in the same way.

c9bfb95348 want_color: automatically fallback to color.ui
All of the "do we want color" flags default to -1 to
indicate that we don't have any color configured. This value
is handled in one of two ways:

  1. In porcelain, we check early on whether the value is
     still -1 after reading the config, and set it to the
     value of color.ui (which defaults to 0).

  2. In plumbing, it stays untouched as -1, and want_color
     defaults it to off.

This works fine, but means that every porcelain has to check
and reassign its color flag. Now that want_color gives us a
place to put this check in a single spot, we can do that,
simplifying the calling code.

9553d2b263 format-patch: preserve subject newlines with -k
In older versions of git, we used rfc822 header folding to
indicate that the original subject line had multiple lines
in it.  But since a1f6baa (format-patch: wrap long header
lines, 2011-02-23), we now use header folding whenever there
is a long line.

This means that "git am" cannot trust header folding as a
sign from format-patch that newlines should be preserved.
Instead, format-patch needs to signal more explicitly that
the newlines are significant.  This patch does so by
rfc2047-encoding the newlines in the subject line. No
changes are needed on the "git am" end; it already decodes
the newlines properly.

6bf139440c clean up calling conventions for pretty.c functions
We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters
for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly.
As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments.

Let's clean this up in a few ways:

  1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context.
     This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these
     functions, since we were just passing around the
     context values separately.

  2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which
     was passed around separately. That's one less argument
     per function.

  3. The context argument always comes first, which makes
     calling a little more uniform.

This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few
places (because we need an extra line to set the context's
fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines
that are there are a lot simpler and more readable.

ef803fd4b0 builtin/log.c: separate default and setup of cmd_log_init()
cmd_log_init() sets up some default rev options and then calls
setup_revisions(), so that a caller cannot set up own defaults: Either
they get overriden by cmd_log_init() (if set before) or they override
the command line (if set after). We even complain about this in a
comment to cmd_log_reflog().

Therefore, separate the two steps so that one can still call
cmd_log_init() or, alternatively, cmd_log_init_defaults() followed by
cmd_log_init_finish() (and set defaults in between).

No functional change so far.

ad5aeeded3 revision.c: introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options
Introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options which limit the
revisions to those commits which have at least (or at most) that many
commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).

In particular:

  --max-parents=1 is the same as --no-merges;
  --min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
  --max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
  --min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges

Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
for (i.e. nothing) for obvious reasons, just like when you give --merges
(show only merge commits) and --no-merges (show only non-merge commits) at
the same time.

Also, introduce --no-min-parents and --no-max-parents to do the obvious
thing for convenience.

We compute the number of parents only when we limit by that, so there
is no performance impact when there are no limiters.

Hence "--max-count=10 -Sfoo" meant "examine the 10 first revisions, and

1fda91b511 Fix 'git log' early pager startup error case
We start the pager too early for several git commands, which results in
the errors sometimes going to the pager rather than show up as errors.

This is often hidden by the fact that we pass in '-X' to less by default,
which causes 'less' to exit for small output, but if you do

  export LESS=-S

you can then clearly see the problem by doing

  git log --prretty

which shows the error message ("fatal: unrecognized argument: --prretty")
being sent to the pager.

This happens for pretty much all git commands that use USE_PAGER, and then
check arguments separately. But "git diff" does it too early too (even
though it does an explicit setup_pager() call)

This only fixes it for the trivial "git log" family case.

6622d9c710 format-patch: Add a signature option (--signature)
By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.

This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default

5b16360330 pretty: Initialize notes if %N is used
When using git log --pretty='%N' without an explicit --show-notes, git
would segfault. This patches fixes this behaviour by loading the needed
notes datastructures if --pretty is used and the format contains %N.
When --pretty='%N' is used together with --no-notes, %N won't be
expanded.

This is an extension to a proposed patch by Jeff King.

81b50f3ce4 Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
	Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
	builtin-shortlog.c     builtin-show-branch.c  builtin-show-ref.c
	builtin-shortlog.o     builtin-show-branch.o  builtin-show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
	builtin-shortlog.c  builtin-shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c

you get

	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>		[type]
	builtin/   builtin.h
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c     shortlog.o     show-branch.c  show-branch.o  show-ref.c     show-ref.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho		[auto-completes to]
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab>	[type]
	shortlog.c  shortlog.o
	[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c

which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.

NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead.  I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.

So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.  But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
