Jeff King f6c5a2968c color_parse: do not mention variable name in error message
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'

These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'

This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse --pretty format

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse default color value

Beat Bolli 466fb6742d pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date format
Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.

The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:

  - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
  - a space between time and time zone
  - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone

Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates.  Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

Jeff King fe6eb7f2c5 commit: provide a function to find a header in a buffer
Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and
handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and
parse_commit_header).  Sometimes, however, we only care
about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is
stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer.

Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within
the commit.  The code is modeled after pretty.c's
get_header, which is used to extract the encoding.

Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go
along with the buffer, we drop that parameter.  The only
thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's
OK.  This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does,
there's no particular reason that this function needs to
complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked
for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will
typically complain).

Jeff King b9c7d6e433 pretty: make empty userformats truly empty
If the user provides an empty format with "--format=", we
end up putting in extra whitespace that the user cannot
prevent. This comes from two places:

  1. If the format is missing a terminating newline, we add
     one automatically. This makes sense for --format=%h, but
     not for a truly empty format.

  2. We add an extra newline between the pretty-printed
     format and a diff or diffstat. If the format is empty,
     there's no point in doing so if there's nothing to
     separate.

With this patch, one can get a diff with no other cruft out
of "diff-tree --format= $commit".

Jeff King 95b567c7c3 use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += strlen("bar");

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the
string (and there is no compiler check that we didn't make a
typo in one of the strings).

We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating
ourselves.

If the user asks for --format=%G with nothing else, we
correctly realize that "%G" is not a valid placeholder (it
should be "%G?", "%GK", etc). But we still tell the
strbuf_expand code that we consumed 2 characters, causing it
to jump over the trailing NUL and output garbage.

This also fixes the case where "%GX" would be consumed (and
produce no output). In other cases, we pass unrecognized
placeholders through to the final string.

Jeff King 8597ea3afe commit: record buffer length in cache
Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.

For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.

This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass
NULL (there did not seem to be any obvious sites where we
could avoid an immediate strlen() call, though perhaps with
some further refactoring we could).

Jeff King b66103c3ba convert logmsg_reencode to get_commit_buffer
Like the callsites in the previous commit, logmsg_reencode
already falls back to read_sha1_file when necessary.
However, I split its conversion out into its own commit
because it's a bit more complex.

We return either:

  1. The original commit->buffer

  2. A newly allocated buffer from read_sha1_file

  3. A reencoded buffer (based on either 1 or 2 above).

while trying to do as few extra reads/allocations as
possible. Callers currently free the result with
logmsg_free, but we can simplify this by pointing them
straight to unuse_commit_buffer. This is a slight layering
violation, in that we may be passing a buffer from (3).
However, since the end result is to free() anything except
(1), which is unlikely to change, and because this makes the
interface much simpler, it's a reasonable bending of the
rules.

away the constness in logmsg_free, but only once we have

Alexey Shumkin 7d509878b8 pretty.c: format string with truncate respects logOutputEncoding
Pretty format string %<(N,[ml]trunc)>%s truncates subject to a given
length with an appropriate padding. This works for non-ASCII texts when
i18n.logOutputEncoding is UTF-8 only (independently of a printed commit
message encoding) but does not work when i18n.logOutputEncoding is NOT
UTF-8.

In 7e77df3 (pretty: two phase conversion for non utf-8 commits, 2013-04-19)
'format_commit_item' function assumes commit message to be in UTF-8.
And that was so until ecaee80 (pretty: --format output should honor
logOutputEncoding, 2013-06-26) where conversion to logOutputEncoding was
added before calling 'format_commit_message'.

Correct this by converting a commit message to UTF-8 first (as it
assumed in 7e77df3 (pretty: two phase conversion for non utf-8 commits,
2013-04-19)). Only after that convert a commit message to an actual
logOutputEncoding.

Jeff King 3f419d45ef show_ident_date: fix tz range check
Commit 1dca155fe3 (log: handle integer overflow in
timestamps, 2014-02-24) tried to catch integer overflow
coming from strtol() on the timezone field by comparing against
LONG_MIN/LONG_MAX. However, the intermediate "tz" variable
is an "int", which means it can never be LONG_MAX on LP64
systems; we would truncate the output from strtol before the
comparison.

Clang's -Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare notices
this and rightly complains.

Let's instead store the result of strtol in a long, and then
compare it against INT_MIN/INT_MAX. This will catch overflow
from strtol, and also overflow when we pass the result as an
int to show_date.

Jeff King 1dca155fe3 log: handle integer overflow in timestamps
If an ident line has a ridiculous date value like (2^64)+1,
we currently just pass ULONG_MAX along to the date code,
which can produce nonsensical dates.

On systems with a signed long time_t (e.g., 64-bit glibc
systems), this actually doesn't end up too bad. The
ULONG_MAX is converted to -1, we apply the timezone field to
that, and the result ends up somewhere between Dec 31, 1969
and Jan 1, 1970.

However, there is still a few good reasons to detect the
overflow explicitly:

  1. On systems where "unsigned long" is smaller than
     time_t, we get a nonsensical date in the future.

  2. Even where it would produce "Dec 31, 1969", it's easier
     to recognize "midnight Jan 1" as a consistent sentinel
     value for "we could not parse this".

  3.  Values which do not overflow strtoul but do overflow a
      signed time_t produce nonsensical values in the past.
      For example, on a 64-bit system with a signed long
      time_t, a timestamp of 18446744073000000000 produces a
      date in 1947.

We also recognize overflow in the timezone field, which
could produce nonsensical results. In this case we show the
parsed date, but in UTC.

Christian Couder 5955654823 replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '
        s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
        s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
        s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
        s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
      '

on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

Jeff King 662cc30cd0 format-patch: print in-body "From" only when needed
Commit a908047 taught format-patch the "--from" option,
which places the author ident into an in-body from header,
and uses the committer ident in the rfc822 from header.  The
documentation claims that it will omit the in-body header
when it is the same as the rfc822 header, but the code never
implemented that behavior.

This patch completes the feature by comparing the two idents
and doing nothing when they are the same (this is the same
as simply omitting the in-body header, as the two are by
definition indistinguishable in this case). This makes it
reasonable to turn on "--from" all the time (if it matches
your particular workflow), rather than only using it when
exporting other people's patches.

Jeff King a90804752f teach format-patch to place other authors into in-body "From"
Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.

Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).

This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email.  It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

Jeff King 10f2fbff68 pretty.c: drop const-ness from pretty_print_context
In the current code, callers are expected to fill in the
pretty_print_context, and then the pretty.c functions simply
read from it. This leaves no room for the pretty.c functions
to communicate with each other by manipulating the context
(e.g., data seen while printing the header may impact how we
print the body).

Rather than introduce a new struct to hold modifiable data,
let's just drop the const-ness of the existing context
struct.

René Scharfe 97a17e7721 pretty: simplify output line length calculation in pp_user_info()
Keep namelen unchanged and don't use it to hold a value that we're not
interested in anyway -- we can use maillen and the constant part
directly instead.  This simplifies the code slightly and prepares for
the next patch that makes use of the original value of namelen.
