33c1506d62 Merge branch 'ph/tag-force-no-warn-on-creation'
"git tag -f <tag>" always said "Updated tag '<tag>'" even when
creating a new tag (i.e. not overwriting nor updating).

3ae851e6fb tag: --force does not have to warn when creating tags
"git tag --force" mentions what old tag object is being replaced
when it is used to update an existing tag, but it shows the same
message when creating a new one.  Stop doing that, as it does not
add any information.

Add a test for this and also to ensure --force can replace tags at
all.

eff80a9fd9 Allow custom "comment char"
Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #,
in their commit log message.  Many tracking system recognise
a token of #<bugid> form, for example.

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.

[jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation
updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*()
functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are
from Ralf.]

f9bc573fda ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICT
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much
concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all,
we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a
check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up
in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK
for them to end up in things like reflogs).

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,
each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.
Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag,
let's refactor the flag.

31fd8d72f2 tag: do not show non-tag contents with "-n"
"git tag -n" did not check the type of the object it is reading the top n
lines from. At least, avoid showing the beginning of trees and blobs when
dealing with lightweight tags that point at them.

As the payload of a tag and a commit look similar in that they both start
with a header block, which is skipped for the purpose of "-n" output,
followed by human readable text, allow the message of commit objects to be
shown just like the contents of tag objects. This avoids regression for
people who have been using "tag -n" to show the log messages of commits
that are pointed at by lightweight tags.

Test script is from Jeff King.

fb630e048c tag: die when listing missing or corrupt objects
We don't usually bother looking at tagged objects at all
when listing. However, if "-n" is specified, we open the
objects to read the annotations of the tags.  If we fail to
read an object, or if the object has zero length, we simply
silently return.

The first case is an indication of a broken or corrupt repo,
and we should notify the user of the error.

The second case is OK to silently ignore; however, the
existing code leaked the buffer returned by read_sha1_file.

ca51699961 tag: fix output of "tag -n" when errors occur
When "git tag" is instructed to print lines from annotated
tags via "-n", it first prints the tag name, then attempts
to parse and print the lines of the tag object, and then
finally adds a trailing newline.

If an error occurs, we return early from the function and
never print the newline, screwing up the output for the next
tag. Let's factor the line-printing into its own function so
we can manage the early returns better, and make sure that
we always terminate the line.

c689332391 Convert many resolve_ref() calls to read_ref*() and ref_exists()
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer, which is not
safe for long-term use because if another resolve_ref() call happens,
the buffer may be changed.  Many call sites though do not care about
this buffer. They simply check if the return value is NULL or not.

Convert all these call sites to new wrappers to reduce resolve_ref()
calls from 57 to 34. If we change resolve_ref() prototype later on
to avoid passing static buffer out, this helps reduce changes.

2f47eae2a1 Split GPG interface into its own helper library
This mostly moves existing code from builtin/tag.c (for signing)
and builtin/verify-tag.c (for verifying) to a new gpg-interface.c
file to provide a more generic library interface.

 - sign_buffer() takes a payload strbuf, a signature strbuf, and a signing
   key, runs "gpg" to produce a detached signature for the payload, and
   appends it to the signature strbuf. The contents of a signed tag that
   concatenates the payload and the detached signature can be produced by
   giving the same strbuf as payload and signature strbuf.

 - verify_signed_buffer() takes a payload and a detached signature as
   <ptr, len> pairs, and runs "gpg --verify" to see if the payload matches
   the signature. It can optionally capture the output from GPG to allow
   the callers to pretty-print it in a way more suitable for their
   contexts.

"verify-tag" (aka "tag -v") used to save the whole tag contents as if it
is a detached signature, and fed gpg the payload part of the tag. It
relied on gpg to fail when the given tag is not signed but just is
annotated.  The updated run_gpg_verify() function detects the lack of
detached signature in the input, and errors out without bothering "gpg".

8d9c50105f Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what
is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git
check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern").  This
is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test
suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and
"refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other.

Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it
obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

588d0e834b tag: accept multiple patterns for --list
Until now, "git tag -l foo* bar*" would silently ignore the
second argument, showing only refs starting with "foo". It's
not just unfriendly not to take a second pattern; we
actually generated subtly wrong results (from the user's
perspective) because some of the requested tags were
omitted.

This patch allows an arbitrary number of patterns on the
command line; if any of them matches, the ref is shown.

While we're tweaking the documentation, let's also make it
clear that the pattern is fnmatch.

0c811a7a6f limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp
When looking for commits that contain other commits (e.g.,
via "git tag --contains"), we can end up traversing useless
portions of the graph. For example, if I am looking for a
tag that contains a commit made last week, there is not much
point in traversing portions of the history graph made five
years ago.

This optimization can provide massive speedups. For example,
doing "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6
repository goes from:

  real    0m5.302s
  user    0m5.116s
  sys     0m0.184s

to:

  real    0m0.030s
  user    0m0.020s
  sys     0m0.008s

The downside is that we will no longer find some answers in
the face of extreme clock skew, as we will stop the
traversal early when seeing commits skewed too far into the
past.

Name-rev already implements a similar optimization, using a
"slop" of one day to allow for a certain amount of clock
skew in commit timestamps. This patch introduces a
"core.clockskew" variable, which allows specifying the
allowable amount of clock skew in seconds.  For safety, it
defaults to "none", causing a full traversal (i.e., no
change in behavior from previous versions).

ffc4b8012d tag: speed up --contains calculation
When we want to know if commit A contains commit B (or any
one of a set of commits, B through Z), we generally
calculate the merge bases and see if B is a merge base of A
(or for a set, if any of the commits B through Z have that
property).

When we are going to check a series of commits A1 through An
to see whether each contains B (e.g., because we are
deciding which tags to show with "git tag --contains"), we
do a series of merge base calculations. This can be very
expensive, as we repeat a lot of traversal work.

Instead, let's leverage the fact that we are going to use
the same --contains list for each tag, and mark areas of the
commit graph is definitely containing those commits, or
definitely not containing those commits. Later tags can then
stop traversing as soon as they see a previously calculated
answer.

This sped up "git tag --contains HEAD~200" in the linux-2.6
repository from:

  real    0m15.417s
  user    0m15.197s
  sys     0m0.220s

to:

  real    0m5.329s

a6ccbbdb66 tag -v: use RUN_GIT_CMD to run verify-tag
This is the preferred way to run a git command.

The only obvious observable effects I can think of are that the exec
is properly reported in GIT_TRACE output and that verifying signed
tags will still work if the git-verify-tag hard link in gitexecdir
goes missing.

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.
