With this, you can simplify history not by the contents of the tree, but
whether a commit has been named (ie it's referred to by some branch or
tag) or not.
This makes it possible to see the relationship between different named
commits, without actually seeing any of the details.
When used with pathspec, you would get the usual view that is limited to
the commits that change the contents of the tree plus commits that are
named.

We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to
them, but especially when we are looking at multiple branches together,
we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.
We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.
Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is
common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random
and depends on the particular path we happened to follow.

\ \
`C--M--D
the command
git rev-list --reverse --parents --full-history HEAD
erroneously lists D as having no parents at all. (Without --reverse,
it correctly lists M.)
This is caused by the machinery driving --reverse: it first grabs all
commits through the normal routines, then runs them through the same
routines again, effectively simplifying them twice.
Fix this by moving the --reverse one level up, into get_revision().
This way we can cleanly grab all commits via the normal calls, then
just pop them off the list one by one without interfering with
get_revision_internal().

This has been broken in v1.6.0 due to the reorganization of
the revision option parsing code. The "-i" is completely
ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i".
What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for
revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there
are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct,
since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing
it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the
existing grep_filter option.
Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and
just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means
that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but
instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any
actual patterns.

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()).

We used to set the TOPOSORT flag of commits during the topological
sorting, but we can just as well use the member "indegree" for it:
indegree is now incremented by 1 in the cases where the commit used
to have the TOPOSORT flag.
This is the same behavior as before, since indegree could not be
non-zero when TOPOSORT was unset.
Incidentally, this fixes the bug in show-branch where the 8th column
was not shown: show-branch sorts the commits in topological order,
assuming that all the commit flags are available for show-branch's
private matters.
But this was not true: TOPOSORT was identical to the flag corresponding
to the 8th ref. So the flags for the 8th column were unset by the
topological sorting.

This attached patch introduces a single bit "use_terminator" in "struct
rev_info", which is normally false (i.e. most formats use separator
semantics) but by flipping it to true, you can ask for terminator
semantics just like oneline format does.
The function get_commit_format(), which is what parses "--pretty=" option,
now takes a pointer to "struct rev_info" and updates its commit_format and
use_terminator fields. It used to return the value of type "enum
cmit_fmt", but all the callers assigned it to rev->commit_format.
There are only two cases the code turns use_terminator on. Obviously, the
traditional oneline format (--pretty=oneline) is one of them, and the new
case is --pretty=tformat:... that acts like --pretty=format:... but flips
the bit on.
With this, "--pretty=tformat:%H %s" acts like --pretty=oneline.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

This cleans up the boundary processing in the commit walker. It
- rips out the boundary logic from the commit walker. Placing
"negative" commits in the revs->commits list was Ok if all we
cared about "boundary" was the UNINTERESTING limiting case,
but conceptually it was wrong.
- makes get_revision_1() function to walk the commits and return
the results as if there is no funny postprocessing flags such
as --reverse, --skip nor --max-count.
- makes get_revision() function the postprocessing phase:
If reverse is given, wait for get_revision_1() to give
everything that it would normally give, and then reverse it
before consuming.
If skip is given, skip that many before going further.
If max is given, stop when we gave out that many.
Now that we are about to return one positive commit, mark
the parents of that commit to be potential boundaries
before returning, iff we are doing the boundary processing.
Return the commit.
- After get_revision() finishes giving out all the positive
commits, if we are doing the boundary processing, we look at
the parents that we marked as potential boundaries earlier,
see if they are really boundaries, and give them out.
It loses more code than it adds, even when the new gc_boundary()
function, which is purely for early optimization, is counted.
Note that this patch is purely for eyeballing and discussion
only. It breaks git-bundle's verify logic because the logic
does not use BOUNDARY_SHOW flag for its internal computation
anymore. After we correct it not to attempt to affect the
boundary processing by setting the BOUNDARY_SHOW flag, we can
remove BOUNDARY_SHOW from revision.h and use that bit assignment
for the new CHILD_SHOWN flag.
