c2b927932d Merge branch 'mz/cherry-pick-cmdline-order'
"git cherry-pick A C B" used to replay changes in A and then B and
then C if these three commits had committer timestamps in that
order, which is not what the user who said "A C B" naturally expects.

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.

6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

Jonathan Nieder
565e135a1e Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc
AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs.  Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.

AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML).  Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).

AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement.  Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters.  The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain.  (This patch will not
change that.)

The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc.  Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name.  The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

3add01bbf1 "log --cherry-pick" documentation regression fix
Earlier f98fd43 (git-log.txt,rev-list-options.txt: put option blocks in

options in the rev-list family of commands such as "log".  Consequently,
the description of the --cherry-pick option appears way above the
description of the --left-right option now.

But the description of the --cherry-pick option still refers to the
example for the --left-right option, like this:

    ... with --left-right, like the example ABOVE in the description of
    that option.

as far back as v0.99~900 (Silent flag for show-diff, 2005-04-13), but
the option is only advertised in an odd corner of the git diff-tree
manual.

The main use is to retrieve basic metadata about a commit:

	git show -s rev

Explain this in the 'git log' manual and provide an example in the
'git show' examples section.  This is kind of a cop-out, since it
would be more useful to explain it in the 'git show' manual proper,
which says:

	The command takes options applicable to the git
	diff-tree command to control how the changes the
	commit introduces are shown.

	This manual page describes only the most frequently
	used options.

Fixing that is a larger task for another day.

In the detailed explanation of how the revision machinery does history
simplification, the current text presents an example history and explains
how various options of the revision machinery affect the resulting list
of commits. The first simplification mode mentioned is the default mode,
in which a number of commits is omitted from the example graph according
to the history simplification rules. The text states (among other things)
that commit "C was considered via N, but is TREESAME", and therefore
omitted. However, the accompanying graph does not list the effect on the
implicit parentage, i.e. that commit I takes C's place as a parent of N.

Running 'git rev-list --parents P' does indeed list I as a second parent
of N, and the accompanying graph should therefore also show this line.

cc1b8d8bc6 docs: don't talk about $GIT_DIR/refs/ everywhere
It is misleading to say that we pull refs from $GIT_DIR/refs/*, because we
may also consult the packed refs mechanism. These days we tend to treat
the "refs hierarchy" as more of an abstract namespace that happens to be
represented as $GIT_DIR/refs. At best, this is a minor inaccuracy, but at
worst it can confuse users who then look in $GIT_DIR/refs and find that it
is missing some of the refs they expected to see.

This patch drops most uses of "$GIT_DIR/refs/*", changing them into just
"refs/*", under the assumption that users can handle the concept of an
abstract refs namespace. There are a few things to note:

  - most cases just dropped the $GIT_DIR/ portion. But for cases where
    that left _just_ the word "refs", I changed it to "refs/" to help
    indicate that it was a hierarchy.  I didn't do the same for longer
    paths (e.g., "refs/heads" remained, instead of becoming
    "refs/heads/").

  - in some cases, no change was made, as the text was explicitly about
    unpacked refs (e.g., the discussion in git-pack-refs).

88d9d45d07 git log -p -m: document -m and honor --first-parent
git log -p -m is used to show one merge entry per parent, with an
appropriate diff; this can be useful when examining histories where
full set of changes introduced by a merged branch is interesting, not
only the conflicts.

This patch properly documents the -m switch, which has so far been
mentioned only as a fairly special diff-tree flag.

It also makes the code show full patch entry only for the first parent
when --first-parent is used. Thus:

	git log -p -m --first-parent

will show the history from the "main branch perspective", while also
including full diff of changes introduced by other merged in branches.

Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.

With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
as:

'git log --branches --not --remotes=origin'

8b3dce5650 Teach --stdin option to "log" family
Move the logic to read revs from standard input that rev-list knows about
from it to revision machinery, so that all the users of setup_revisions()
can feed the list of revs from the standard input when "--stdin" is used
on the command line.

Allow some users of the revision machinery that want different semantics
from the "--stdin" option to disable it by setting an option in the
rev_info structure.

This also cleans up the kludge made to bundle.c via cut and paste.

7dff9b30ea Support 'raw' date format
Talking about --date, one thing I wanted for the 1234567890 date was to
get things in the raw format. Sure, you get them with --pretty=raw, but it
felt a bit sad that you couldn't just ask for the date in raw format.

So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I
really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints
out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put
another way: 'date +"%s %z"' format)

6546b5931e revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec.  This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:

        A---M---o
       /   /
   ---O---B

even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths.  The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.

The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in.  --full-history reduces the
topology to:

   ---O---M---o

in such a case, without removing M.

This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.

The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history.  The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:

 * In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
   the commit we are looking at.  The commit we are looking at is
   rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
   parents.  While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
   rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
   removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.

 * After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
   an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
   interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself.  In
   other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.

The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction.  We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten.  This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

3240240ff4 Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sections
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list
of the options a git command accepts.

Currently there are several variants to describe the case that
different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section.

Some are:

 -f, --foo::
 -f|--foo::
 -f | --foo::

But AsciiDoc has the special form:

 -f::
 --foo::

This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite,
and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.
