Thomas Rast f69c501832 rev-list: introduce --count option
Add a --count option that, instead of actually listing the commits,
merely counts them.

This is mostly geared towards script use, and to this end it acts
specially when used with --left-right: it outputs the left and right
counts separately.  Previously, scripts would have to run a shell loop
or small inline script over to achieve the same.  (Without
--left-right, a simple |wc -l does the job.)

Johan Herland cb7529e13b revision: Turn off history simplification in --ancestry-path mode
When using --ancestry-path together with history simplification (typically
triggered by path limiting), history simplification would get in the way of
--ancestry-path by prematurely removing the parent links between commits on
which the ancestry path calculations are made.

This patch disables this history simplification when --ancestry-path is
enabled. This is similar to what e.g. --full-history already does.

The patch also includes a simple testcase verifying that --ancestry-path
works together with path limiting.

Jonathan Nieder 5853caec96 DWIM 'git show -5' to 'git show --do-walk -5'
To show the last two commits with one command, one might try

 1) git show -s master~2..
 2) git show -s ^master~2 master
 3) git show -s master^ master
 4) git show -s -2 master

Choice (3) works because both commits are listed on the command line.
Choices (1) and (2) have worked ever since v1.6.4-rc~3 (Make 'git
show' more useful, 2009-07-13) disabled --no-walk in this case because
there is no other useful meaning for them to have.  Unfortunately, (4)
does not work: it outputs only one commit, because --no-walk stays on.

So disable --no-walk in this case so ‘git show’ and future ‘git
cherry-pick’ can behave as expected.

As a side effect, this unfortunately changes the meaning of
‘git log --oneline --decorate --no-walk -5 --all’: instead of listing
five refs, after this patch that command would list the five most
recent commits.

Gary V. Vaughan 4b05548fc0 enums: omit trailing comma for portability
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.

Junio C Hamano ebdc94f3be revision: --ancestry-path
"rev-list A..H" computes the set of commits that are ancestors of H, but
excludes the ones that are ancestors of A.  This is useful to see what
happened to the history leading to H since A, in the sense that "what does
H have that did not exist in A" (e.g. when you have a choice to update to
H from A).

	       x---x---A---B---C  <-- topic
	      /			\
     x---x---x---o---o---o---o---M---D---E---F---G  <-- dev
    /						  \
   x---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---N---H  <-- master

The result in the above example would be the commits marked with caps
letters (except for A itself, of course), and the ones marked with 'o'.

When you want to find out what commits in H are contaminated with the bug
introduced by A and need fixing, however, you might want to view only the
subset of "A..B" that are actually descendants of A, i.e. excluding the
ones marked with 'o'.  Introduce a new option --ancestry-path to compute
this set with "rev-list --ancestry-path A..B".

Note that in practice, you would build a fix immediately on top of A and
"git branch --contains A" will give the names of branches that you would
need to merge the fix into (i.e. topic, dev and master), so this may not
be worth paying the extra cost of postprocessing.

Junio C Hamano b449005997 show -c: show patch text
Traditionally, "show" defaulted to "show --cc" (dense combined patch), but
asking for combined patch with "show -c" didn't turn the patch output
format on; the placement of this logic in setup_revisions() dates back to
cd2bdc5 (Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friends,
2006-04-14).

This unfortunately cannot be done as a trivial change of "if dense
combined is asked, default to patch format" done in setup_revisions() to
"if any combined is asked, default to patch format", as "diff-tree -c"
needs to default to raw, while "diff-tree --cc" needs to default to patch,
and they share the codepath.  These command specific defaults are now
handled in the new "tweak" callback that can be customized by individual
command implementations.

Junio C Hamano 32962c9bd5 revision: introduce setup_revision_opt
So far the last parameter to setup_revisions() was to specify the default
ref when the command line did not give any (typically "HEAD").  This changes
it to take a pointer to a structure so that we can add other information without
touching too many codepaths in later patches.

There is no functionality change.

Thomas Rast 36c079756f cherry_pick_list: quit early if one side is empty
The --cherry-pick logic starts by counting the commits on each side,
so that it can filter away commits on the bigger one.  However, so
far it missed an opportunity for optimization: it doesn't need to do
any work if either side is empty.

This in particular helps the common use-case 'git rebase -i HEAD~$n':
it internally uses --cherry-pick, but since HEAD~$n is a direct
ancestor the left side is always empty.

Junio C Hamano 80235ba79e "log --author=me --grep=it" should find intersection, not union
Historically, any grep filter in "git log" family of commands were taken
as restricting to commits with any of the words in the commit log message.
However, the user almost always want to find commits "done by this person
on that topic".  With "--all-match" option, a series of grep patterns can
be turned into a requirement that all of them must produce a match, but
that makes it impossible to ask for "done by me, on either this or that"
with:

	log --author=me --committer=him --grep=this --grep=that

because it will require both "this" and "that" to appear.

Change the "header" parser of grep library to treat the headers specially,
and parse it as:

	(all-match-OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me)
		      (HEADER-COMMITTER him)
		      (OR
		      	(PATTERN this)
			(PATTERN that) ) )

Even though the "log" command line parser doesn't give direct access to
the extended grep syntax to group terms with parentheses, this change will
cover the majority of the case the users would want.

This incidentally revealed that one test in t7002 was bogus.  It ran:

	log --author=Thor --grep=Thu --format='%s'

and expected (wrongly) "Thu" to match "Thursday" in the author/committer
date, but that would never match, as the timestamp in raw commit buffer
does not have the name of the day-of-the-week.

Junio C Hamano 66b2ed09c2 Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notes
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

Jens Lehmann e3d42c4773 Performance optimization for detection of modified submodules
In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for
each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole
submodule tree the first time can be reused instead.

New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),
the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its
value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again.

When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to
is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD
already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone
marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra
argument.

Linus Torvalds ad3f9a71a8 Add '--bisect' revision machinery argument
I personally use "git bisect visualize" all the time when I bisect, but it
turns out that that is not a very flexible model. Sometimes I want to do
bisection based on all commits (no pathname limiting), but then visualize
the current bisection tree with just a few pathnames because I _suspect_
those pathnames are involved in the problem but am not totally sure about
them.

And at other times, I want to use other revision parsing logic, none of
which is available with "git bisect visualize".

So this adds "--bisect" as a revision parsing argument, and as a result it
just works with all the normal logging tools. So now I can just do

	gitk --bisect --simplify-by-decoration filename-here

Jeff King f4ea32f0b4 improve reflog date/number heuristic
When we show a reflog, we have two ways of naming the entry:
by sequence number (e.g., HEAD@{0}) or by date (e.g.,
HEAD@{10 minutes ago}). There is no explicit option to set
one or the other, but we guess based on whether or not the
user has provided us with a date format, showing them the
date version if they have done so, and the sequence number
otherwise.

This usually made sense if the use did something like "git
log -g --date=relative". However, it didn't make much sense
if the user set the date format using the log.date config
variable; in that case, all of their reflogs would end up as
dates.

This patch records the source of the date format and only
triggers the date-based view if --date= was given on the
command line.

Adam Simpkins beb5af43a6 graph API: fix bug in graph_is_interesting()
Previously, graph_is_interesting() did not behave quite the same way as
the code in get_revision().  As a result, it would sometimes think
commits were uninteresting, even though get_revision() would return
them.  This resulted in incorrect lines in the graph output.

This change creates a get_commit_action() function, which
graph_is_interesting() and simplify_commit() both now use to determine
if a commit will be shown.  It is identical to the old simplify_commit()
behavior, except that it never calls rewrite_parents().

This problem was reported by Santi Béjar.  The following command
would exhibit the problem before, but now works correctly:

  git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --oneline v1.6.3.3

Previously git graph did not display the output for this command
correctly between f29ac4f and 66996ec, among other places.

Lars Hjemli 33e7018c45 git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

Junio C Hamano 90b1994170 diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B").  As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.

Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET
option everywhere.

Linus Torvalds f222abdeec Make 'git show' more useful
For some reason, I ended up doing

	git show HEAD~5..

as an odd way of asking for a log. I realize I should just have used "git
log", but at the same time it does make perfect conceptual sense. After
all, you _could_ have done

	git show HEAD HEAD~1 HEAD~2 HEAD~3 HEAD~4

and saying "git show HEAD~5.." is pretty natural. It's not like "git show"
only ever showed a single commit (or other object) before either! So
conceptually, giving a commit range is a very sensible operation, even
though you'd traditionally have used "git log" for that.

However, doing that currently results in an error

	fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions

which admittedly _also_ makes perfect sense - from an internal git
implementation standpoint in 'revision.c'.

However, I think that asking to show a range makes sense to a user, while
saying "object ranges no not make sense when not walking revisions" only
makes sense to a git developer.

So on the whole, of the two different "makes perfect sense" behaviors, I
think I originally picked the wrong one. And quite frankly, I don't really
see anybody actually _depending_ on that error case. So why not change it?

So rather than error out, just turn that non-walking error case into a
"silently turn on walking" instead.

Linus Torvalds b8e8db281c git log: add '--merges' flag to match '--no-merges'
I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie

	git rev-list --parents HEAD |
		grep ' .* ' |
		git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
		less -S

will do it.

But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.

So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a

	git log --merges --pretty=oneline

which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg

	git shortlog -ns --merges

does exactly what you'd want it to do.

Linus Torvalds ceff8e7ade Clean up and simplify rev_compare_tree()
This simplifies the logic of rev_compare_tree() by removing a special
case.

It does so by turning the special case of finding a diff to be "all new
files" into a more generic case of "all new" vs "all removed" vs "mixed
changes", so now the code is actually more powerful and more generic, and
the added symmetry actually makes it simpler too.

This makes no changes to any existing behavior, but apart from the
simplification it does make it possible to some day care about whether all
changes were just deletions if we want to. Which we may well want to for
merge handling.
