When color placeholders like %(color:red) are used in a
ref-filter format, we unconditionally output the colors,
even if the user has asked us for no colors. This usually
isn't a problem when the user is constructing a --format on
the command line, but it means we may do the wrong thing
when the format is fed from a script or alias. For example:
$ git config alias.b 'branch --format=%(color:green)%(refname)'
$ git b --no-color
should probably omit the green color. Likewise, running:
$ git b >branches
should probably also omit the color, just as we would for
all baked-in coloring (and as we recently started to do for
user-specified colors in --pretty formats).
This commit makes both of those cases work by teaching
the ref-filter code to consult want_color() before
outputting any color. The color flag in ref_format defaults
to "-1", which means we'll consult color.ui, which in turn
defaults to the usual isatty() check on stdout. However,
callers like git-branch which support their own color config
(and command-line options) can override that.
The new tests independently cover all three of the callers
of ref-filter (for-each-ref, tag, and branch). Even though
these seem redundant, it confirms that we've correctly
plumbed through all of the necessary config to make colors
work by default.

The GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease compile-time testing option added in my
bb946bba76 ("i18n: add GETTEXT_POISON to simulate unfriendly
translator", 2011-02-22) has been slowly bitrotting as strings have
been marked for translation, and new tests have been added without
running it.
I brought this up on the list ("[BUG] test suite broken with
GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease", [1]) asking whether this mode was useful at
all anymore. At least one person occasionally uses it, and Lars
Schneider offered to change one of the the Travis builds to run in
this mode, so fix up the failing ones.
My test setup runs most of the tests, with the notable exception of
skipping all the p4 tests, so it's possible that there's still some
lurking regressions I haven't fixed.

Port branch.c to use ref-filter APIs for printing. This clears out
most of the code used in branch.c for printing and replaces them with
calls made to the ref-filter library.
Introduce build_format() which gets the format required for printing
of refs. Make amendments to print_ref_list() to reflect these changes.
The strings included in build_format() may not be safely quoted for
inclusion (i.e. it might contain '%' which needs to be escaped with an
additional '%'). Introduce quote_literal_for_format() as a helper
function which takes a string and returns a version of the string that
is safely quoted to be used in the for-each-ref format which is built
in build_format().
Change calc_maxwidth() to also account for the length of HEAD ref, by
calling ref-filter:get_head_discription().
Also change the test in t6040 to reflect the changes.
Before this patch, all cross-prefix symrefs weren't shortened. Since
we're using ref-filter APIs, we shorten all symrefs by default. We also
allow the user to change the format if needed with the introduction of
the '--format' option in the next patch.

This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have
branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and
BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may
not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from
git-branch and git-tag.
The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important
because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're
desperate.
You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or
the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should
be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control.
But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need
for it.

Commit aedcb7d (branch.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-09-23)
adjusted the symref-printing code to look like this:
if (item->symref) {
skip_prefix(item->symref, "refs/remotes/", &desc);
strbuf_addf(&out, " -> %s", desc);
}
This has three bugs in it:
1. It always skips past "refs/remotes/", instead of
skipping past the prefix associated with the branch we
are showing (so commonly we see "refs/remotes/" for the
refs/remotes/origin/HEAD symref, but the previous code
would skip "refs/heads/" when showing a symref it found
in refs/heads/.
2. If skip_prefix() does not match, it leaves "desc"
untouched, and we show whatever happened to be in it
(which is the refname from a call to skip_prefix()
earlier in the function).
3. If we do match with skip_prefix(), we stomp on the
"desc" variable, which is later passed to
add_verbose_info(). We probably want to retain the
original refname there (though it likely doesn't matter
in practice, since after all, one points to the other).
The fix to match the original code is fairly easy: record
the prefix to strip based on item->kind, and use it here.
However, since we already have a local variable named "prefix",
let's give the two prefixes verbose names so we don't
confuse them.

Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11),
git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e.,
when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo"
instead of just "foo". This is both:
- pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only
refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in
"refs/tags".
and
- ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line
"foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new
output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or
"refs/tags/tags/foo".
The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched
git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output
formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more
general code does not know that we care only about tags, and
uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need
to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it
should shorten with respect to that value.
In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us
passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications
there:
1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting
code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let
alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct.
2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the
user. If we follow this path, it will mean that
"%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus
"for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"),
which can lead to confusion.
Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting
language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix
components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the
same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or
"for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same
consistent meaning in all places.
We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails
without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for
"git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is
likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting
code, the test helps defend against future regressions.

Using the timestamp based criteria in "git branch --sort" did not
tiebreak branches that point at commits with the same timestamp (or

* kn/for-each-branch:
ref-filter: fallback on alphabetical comparison
In ref-filter.c the comparison of refs while sorting is handled by
cmp_ref_sorting() function. When sorting as per numerical values
(e.g. --sort=objectsize) there is no fallback comparison when both
refs hold the same value. This can cause unexpected results (i.e. the
order of listing refs with equal values cannot be pre-determined) as
pointed out by Johannes Sixt ($gmane/280117).
Hence, fallback to alphabetical comparison based on the refname
whenever the other criterion is equal.
A test in t3203 was expecting that branch-two sorts before HEAD, which
happened to be how qsort(3) on Linux sorted the array, but (1) that
outcome was not even guaranteed, and (2) once we start breaking ties
with the refname, "HEAD" should sort before "branch-two" so the
original expectation was inconsistent with the criterion we now use.
Update it to match the new world order, which we can now depend on
being stable.

Make 'branch.c' use 'ref-filter' APIs for iterating through refs
sorting. This removes most of the code used in 'branch.c' replacing it
with calls to the 'ref-filter' library.
Make 'branch.c' use the 'filter_refs()' function provided by 'ref-filter'
to filter out tags based on the options set.
We provide a sorting option provided for 'branch.c' by using the
sorting options provided by 'ref-filter'. Also by default, we sort by
'refname'. Since 'HEAD' is alphabatically before 'refs/...' we end up
with an array consisting of the 'HEAD' ref then the local branches and
finally the remote-tracking branches.
Also remove the 'ignore' variable from ref_array_item as it was
previously used for the '--merged' option and now that is handled by
ref-filter.
Modify some of the tests in t1430 to check the stderr for a warning
regarding the broken ref. This is done as ref-filter throws a warning
for broken refs rather than directly printing them.
