A couple of commands learn --column option to produce columnar output.

Add column layout skeleton and git-column
A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:
- enabling: always, never and auto
- layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
- other future tuning flags
git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output
code can be changed to use column layout code directly.

PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP is confusing because short options defined with that
flag do the opposite of what the helptext says. It is also not needed
anymore now that options starting with no- can be negated by removing
that prefix. Convert its only two users to OPT_NEGBIT() and OPT_BOOL()
and then remove support for PARSE_OPT_NEGHELP.

Add OPT_NOOP_NOARG, a helper macro to define deprecated options in a
standard way. The help text is taken from the no-op option -r of
git revert.
The callback could be made to emit a (conditional?) warning later. And
we could also add OPT_NOOP (requiring an argument) etc. as needed.

It is natural to expect that an option defined with OPT_BOOLEAN() could be
used in this way:
int option = -1; /* unspecified */
struct option options[] = {
OPT_BOOLEAN(0, "option", &option, "set option"),
OPT_END()
};
parse_options(ac, av, prefix, options, usage, 0);
if (option < 0)
... do the default thing ...
else if (!option)
... --no-option was given ...
else
... --option was given ...
to easily tell three cases apart:
- There is no mention of the `--option` on the command line;
- The variable is positively set with `--option`; or
- The variable is explicitly negated with `--no-option`.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. OPT_BOOLEAN() increments the variable
every time `--option` is given, and resets it to zero when `--no-option`
is given.
As a first step to remedy this, introduce a true boolean OPT_BOOL(), and
rename OPT_BOOLEAN() to OPT_COUNTUP(). To help transitioning, OPT_BOOLEAN
and OPTION_BOOLEAN are defined as deprecated synonyms to OPT_COUNTUP and
OPTION_COUNTUP respectively.
This is what db7244b (parse-options new features., 2007-11-07) from four
years ago started by marking OPTION_BOOLEAN as "INCR would have been a
better name".
Some existing users do depend on the count-up semantics; for example,
users of OPT__VERBOSE() could use it to raise the verbosity level with
repeated use of `-v` on the command line, but they probably should be
rewritten to use OPT__VERBOSITY() instead these days. I suspect that some
users of OPT__FORCE() may also use it to implement different level of
forcibleness but I didn't check.
On top of this patch, here are the remaining clean-up tasks that other
people can help:
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT_BOOLEAN"; trace all uses of the
value that is set to the underlying variable, and if it can proven that
the variable is only used as a boolean, replace it with OPT_BOOL(). If
the caller does depend on the count-up semantics, replace it with
OPT_COUNTUP() instead.
- Same for OPTION_BOOLEAN; replace it with OPTION_SET_INT and arrange to
set 1 to the variable for a true boolean, and otherwise replace it with
OPTION_COUNTUP.
- Look at each hit in "git grep -e OPT__VERBOSE -e OPT__QUIET" and see if
they can be replaced with OPT__VERBOSITY().
I'll follow this message up with a separate patch as an example.

parse-options provides a variety of option behaviors, including
OPTION_CALLBACK, which should take care of just about any sane
behavior. All supported behaviors obey the following constraint:
A --foo option can only accept (and base its behavior on)
one argument, which would be the following command-line
argument in the "unsticked" form.
Alas, some existing git commands have options that do not obey that
constraint. For example, update-index --cacheinfo takes three
arguments, and update-index --resolve takes all later parameters as
arguments.
Introduces an OPTION_LOWLEVEL_CALLBACK backdoor to parse-options so
such option types can be supported without tempting inventors of other
commands through mention in the public API. Commands can set the
callback field to a function accepting three arguments: the option
parsing context, the option itself, and a flag indicating whether the
the option was negated. When the option is encountered, that function
is called to take over from get_value(). The return value should be
zero for success, -1 for usage errors.
Thanks to Stephen Boyd for API guidance.

commit introducing this function cb9d398 (parse-options: add

Here "takes no argument" means "does not take an argument". The
latter phrasing might make it clearer that PARSE_OPT_NOARG does not
make an option with an argument that can optionally be left off.

Without this patch at least IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX
5.1 fails to compile git.
enum style is inconsistent already, with some enums declared on one
line, some over 3 lines with the enum values all on the middle line,
sometimes with 1 enum value per line... and independently of that the
trailing comma is sometimes present and other times absent, often
mixing with/without trailing comma styles in a single file, and
sometimes in consecutive enum declarations.
Clearly, omitting the comma is the more portable style, and this patch
changes all enum declarations to use the portable omitted dangling
comma style consistently.

Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based
programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument
is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given,
"always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes
the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls'
and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without
an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before.
To implement this, two internal changes were made:
1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL,
in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never",
or "auto".
2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb()
to the option parsing library. The callback uses
git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency
of parse-options.c.

This function can be used instead of "usage_with_options" when you
want to print an error message before the usage string.
It may be useful because:
if (condition)
usage_msg_opt("condition is false", usage, opts);
is shorter than:
if (condition) {
fprintf(stderr, "condition is false\n\n");
usage_with_options(usage, opts);
}
and may be more consistent.

Commit dbd0f5c (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a minimal fix.
OPT_FILENAME is intended to be a more robust fix for the same issue.
OPT_FILENAME and its associated enum OPTION_FILENAME are used to
represent filename options within the parse options API.
This option is similar to OPTION_STRING. If --no is prefixed to the
option the filename is unset. If no argument is given and the default
value is set, the filename is set to the default value. The difference
is that the filename is prefixed with the prefix passed to
parse_options() (or parse_options_start()).
Update git-apply, git-commit, git-fmt-merge-msg, and git-tag to use
OPT_FILENAME with their filename options. Also, rename
parse_options_fix_filename() to fix_filename() as it is no longer
extern.

To give OPT_FILENAME the prefix, we pass the prefix to parse_options()
which passes the prefix to parse_options_start() which sets the prefix
member of parse_opts_ctx accordingly. If there isn't a prefix in the
calling context, passing NULL will suffice.

Usually, the argh element in struct option points at a placeholder value
(e.g. "val"), and is shown in the usage message as
--option=<val>
by enclosing the string inside of angle brackets.
When the option is more complex (e.g. optional arguments separated by a
comma), you would want to produce a usage message that looks like
--option=<val1>[,<val2>]
In such a case, the caller can pass a string to argh with placeholders
already enclosed in necessary angle brackets (e.g. "<val1>[,<val2>]")
and set this flag.

When running "git commit -F file" and "git tag -F file" from a
subdirectory, we should take it as relative to the directory we started
from, not relative to the top-level directory.
This adds a helper function "parse_options_fix_filename()" to make it more
convenient to fix this class of issues. Ideally, parse_options() should
support a new type of option, "OPT_FILENAME", to do this uniformly, but
this patch is meant to go to 'maint' to fix it minimally.
One thing to note is that value for "commit template file" that comes from
the command line is taken as relative to $cwd just like other parameters,
but when it comes from the configuration varilable 'commit.template', it
is taken as relative to the working tree root as before. I think this
difference actually is sensible (not that I particularly think
commit.template itself is sensible).

If you set this for a given option, and the optoin appears without an
