7d004199d1 Make revision limiting more robust against occasional bad commit dates
The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen
enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused
if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits.

This makes the logic a bit more robust by

 - we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we
   decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is
   entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at
   all)

 - we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the
   destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen
   so far)

 - we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source
   list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want
   to look at the source.

which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

3131b71301 Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debugging
It's really not very easy to visualize the commit walker, because - on
purpose - it obvously doesn't show the uninteresting commits!

This adds a "--show-all" flag to the revision walker, which will make
it show uninteresting commits too, and they'll have a '^' in front of
them (it also fixes a logic error for !verbose_header for boundary
commits - we should show the '-' even if left_right isn't shown).

A separate patch to gitk to teach it the new '^' was sent
to paulus.  With the change in place, it actually is interesting
even for the cases that git doesn't have any problems with, ie
for the kernel you can do:

	gitk -d --show-all v2.6.24..

and you see just how far down it has to parse things to see it all. The
use of "-d" is a good idea, since the date-ordered toposort is much better
at showing why it goes deep down (ie the date of some of those commits
after 2.6.24 is much older, because they were merged from trees that
weren't rebased).

So I think this is a useful feature even for non-debugging - just to
visualize what git does internally more.

When it actually breaks out due to the "everybody_uninteresting()"
case, it adds the uninteresting commits (both the one it's looking at
now, and the list of pending ones) to the list

This way, we really list *all* the commits we've looked at.

Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed
at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits
that don't have a commit buffer entry.

That second part is debatable just how it should work. Maybe we shouldn't
show such entries at all (with this patch those entries do get shown, they
just don't get any message shown with them). But I think this is a useful
case.

cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
This adds --relative option to the diff family.  When you start
from a subdirectory:

        $ git diff --relative

shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part.  People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.

There are a few things I should also mention about the change:

 - This works not just with diff but also works with the log
   family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.

   In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:

        $ git log --relative -p

   but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
   touch the current directory.  You can limit it by giving
   pathspec yourself:

        $ git log --relative -p .

   This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
   have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
   independently.  IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
   prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
   but show the changes with full context.  I think it makes
   more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
   the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
   subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.

 - Because this works also with the log family, you could
   format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
   subdirectory, like so:

        $ cd gitk-git
        $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb

   But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
   never become the default, with or without repository or user
   preference configuration.  The risk of producing a partial
   patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
   so.

 - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
   bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
   itself.  I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
   combined use of the options, but probably I should.

7dc0fe3be5 Fix parent rewriting in --early-output
We cannot tell a node that has been checked and found not to be
interesting (which does not have the TREECHANGE flag) from a
node that hasn't been checked if it is interesting or not,
without relying on something else, such as object->parsed.

But an object can get the "parsed" flag for other reasons.
Which means that "TREECHANGE" has the wrong polarity.

This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an
uninteresting commits.  From now on, we consider a commit
interesting by default, and explicitly mark the ones we decided
to prune.  The flag is renamed to "TREESAME".

Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with
incomplete pruning.  It basically says "a commit that has
TREESAME set is kind-of-UNINTERESTING", but obviously in a
different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit.  Until we
parse and examine enough parents to determine if a commit
becomes surely "kind-of-UNINTERESTING", we avoid rewriting
the ancestry so that later rounds can fix things up.

4d1012c370 Fix rev-list when showing objects involving submodules
The function mark_tree_uninteresting() assumed that the tree entries
are blob when they are not trees.  This is not so.  Since we do
not traverse into submodules (yet), the gitlinks should be ignored.

In general, we should try to start moving away from using the
"S_ISLNK()" like things for internal git state. It was a mistake to
just assume the numbers all were same across all systems in the first
place.  This implementation converts to the "object_type", and then
uses a case statement.

53b2c823f6 revision walker: mini clean-up
This removes the unnecessary indirection of "revs->prune_fn",
since that function is always the same one (or NULL), and there
is in fact not even an abstraction reason to make it a function
(i.e. its not called from some other file and doesn't allow us
to keep the function itself static or anything like that).

It then just replaces it with a bit that says "prune or not",
and if not pruning, every commit gets TREECHANGE.

That in turn means that

 - if (!revs->prune_fn || (flags & TREECHANGE))
 - if (revs->prune_fn && !(flags & TREECHANGE))

just become

 - if (flags & TREECHANGE)
 - if (!(flags & TREECHANGE))

respectively.

Together with adding the "single_parent()" helper function, the "complex"
conditional now becomes

	if (!(flags & TREECHANGE) && rev->dense && single_parent(commit))
		continue;

Also indirection of "revs->dense" checking is thrown away the
same way, because TREECHANGE bit is set appropriately now.

252a7c0235 Enhance --early-output format
This makes --early-output a bit more advanced, and actually makes it
generate multiple "Final output:" headers as it updates things
asynchronously. I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical,
since it's not really final until it also says "done", but

It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit
list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of
commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be
completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant
to be exact.

So what happens is that you may get output like this:

 - at 0.1 seconds:

	Final output: 2 incomplete
	.. 2 commits listed ..

 - half a second later:

	Final output: 33 incomplete
	.. 33 commits listed ..

 - another half a second after that:

	Final output: 71 incomplete
	.. 71 commits listed ..

 - another half second later:

	Final output: 136 incomplete
	.. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and
	.. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not
	.. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much
	.. early output as you asked for!

 - .. and then finally:

	Final output: 73106 done
	.. all the commits ..

The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having
flushed all the caches.

Tested with the experimental gitk patch that Paul sent out, and by looking
at the actual log output (and verifying that my commit count guesses
actually match real life fairly well).

cdcefbc971 Add "--early-output" log flag for interactive GUI use
This adds support for "--early-output[=n]" as a flag to the "git log"
family of commands.  This allows GUI programs to state that they want to
get some output early, in order to be able to show at least something
quickly, even if the full output may take longer to generate.

If no count is specified, a default count of a hundred commits will be
used, although the actual numbr of commits output may be smaller
depending on how many commits were actually found in the first tenth of
a second (or if *everything* was found before that, in which case no
early output will be provided, and only the final list is made
available).

When the full list is generated, there will be a "Final output:" string
prepended to it, regardless of whether any early commits were shown or
not, so that the consumer can always know the difference between early
output and the final list.

99516e35d0 Fix embarrassing "git log --follow" bug
It turns out that I completely broke "git log --follow" with my recent
patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff
generation", commit b7bb760d5e).

Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function,
exactly the same way pickaxe does.

So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed
this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial
one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment).

Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following
(which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because
then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs
themselves.

So while "git log --follow <filename>" didn't work, adding a "-p"
magically made it work again even without this fix.

b7bb760d5e Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation
We used to incorrectly start calculating diffs whenever any argument but
'-z' was recognized by the diff options parsing. That was bogus, since not
all arguments result in diffs being needed, so we just waste a lot of time
and effort on calculating diffs that don't matter.

This actually also fixes another bug in "git log". Try this:

	git log -C

and notice how it prints an extra empty line in between log entries, even
though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff
format, so the diff machinery never prints anything).

With this patch, that bogus empty line is gone, because "revs->diff" is
never set.  So this isn't just a "wasted time and effort" issue, it's also
a slight semantic fix.

Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued
onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that
they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with

better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as

(Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as

36d56de649 Fix --cherry-pick with given paths
If you say --cherry-pick, you do not want to see patches which are
in the upstream.  If you specify paths with that, what you usually
expect is that only those parts of the patches are looked at which
actually touch the given paths.

With this patch, that expectation is met.

Noticed by Sam Vilain.

11d6596709 revision.c: remove duplicated parents after history simplification
When we simplify history due to path limits, the parents list
for a rewritten commit can end up having duplicates.  Instead of
filtering them out in the output codepath like earlier commit
88494423 did, remove them much earlier, when the parent
information actually gets rewritten.

750f7b668f Finally implement "git log --follow"
Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I
was always hoping that somebody else would do it.

But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I
decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people
they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do,
I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them..

The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this
patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have
to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to
know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty
well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts
with generating patches and generating the log.

So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have
been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be
firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory.

To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just
did it.

I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really
can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises
("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code
itself isn't really that complicated.

All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It
really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking
at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can
instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous
pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that*
particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname.

One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a
singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want
to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying
around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to
notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history.

IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind
of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just
pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the
history could be linearized.

Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model,
I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have
merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two
branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point
where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in
parallel.

And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and
if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to
you. What matters to you is that you can now do

	git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c

and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to
"builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

This adds --date={local,relative,default} option to log family of commands,

Existing --relative-date option is a synonym of --date=relative; we could

This is meant to be a saner replacement for "git-cherry".

When used with "A...B", this filters out commits whose patch
text has the same patch-id as a commit on the other side.  It
would probably most useful to use with --left-right.
