When using pathspec filtering in combination with diff-based log
output, parent simplification happens before the diff is computed.
The diff is therefore against the *simplified* parents.
This works okay, arguably by accident, in the normal case:
simplification reduces to one parent as long as the commit is TREESAME
to it. So the simplified parent of any given commit must have the
same tree contents on the filtered paths as its true (unfiltered)
parent.
However, --full-diff breaks this guarantee, and indeed gives pretty
spectacular results when comparing the output of
git log --graph --stat ...
git log --graph --full-diff --stat ...
(--graph internally kicks in parent simplification, much like
--parents).
To fix it, store a copy of the parent list before simplification (in a
slab) whenever --full-diff is in effect. Then use the stored parents
instead of the simplified ones in the commit display code paths. The
latter do not actually check for --full-diff to avoid duplicated code;
they just grab the original parents if save_parents() has not been
called for this revision walk.
For ordinary commits it should be obvious that this is the right thing
to do.
Merge commits are a bit subtle. Observe that with default
simplification, merge simplification is an all-or-nothing decision:
either the merge is TREESAME to one parent and disappears, or it is
different from all parents and the parent list remains intact.
Redundant parents are not pruned, so the existing code also shows them
as a merge.
So if we do show a merge commit, the parent list just consists of the
rewrite result on each parent. Running, e.g., --cc on this in
--full-diff mode is not very useful: if any commits were skipped, some
hunks will disagree with all sides of the merge (with one side,
because commits were skipped; with the others, because they didn't
have those changes in the first place). This triggers --cc showing
these hunks spuriously.
Therefore I believe that even for merge commits it is better to show
the diffs wrt. the original parents.

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

Sometimes people would want to view the commits in parallel
histories in the order of author dates, not committer dates.
Teach "topo-order" sort machinery to do so, using a commit-info slab
to record the author dates of each commit, and prio-queue to sort
them.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":
A----B----C
\
D----E
we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.
In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.
Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.
When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.
The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.
Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is:
"lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
"lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

Previously, the memory management of the object_array_entry::name
field was inconsistent and undocumented. object_array_entries are
ultimately created by a single function, add_object_array_with_mode(),
which has an argument "const char *name". This function used to
simply set the name field to reference the string pointed to by the
name parameter, and nobody on the object_array side ever freed the
memory. Thus, it assumed that the memory for the name field would be
managed by the caller, and that the lifetime of that string would be
at least as long as the lifetime of the object_array_entry. But
callers were inconsistent:
* Some passed pointers to constant strings or argv entries, which was
OK.
* Some passed pointers to newly-allocated memory, but didn't arrange
for the memory ever to be freed.
* Some passed the return value of sha1_to_hex(), which is a pointer to
a statically-allocated buffer that can be overwritten at any time.
* Some passed pointers to refnames that they received from a
for_each_ref()-type iteration, but the lifetimes of such refnames is
not guaranteed by the refs API.
Bring consistency to this mess by changing object_array to make its
own copy for the object_array_entry::name field and free this memory
when an object_array_entry is deleted from the array.
Many callers were passing the empty string as the name parameter, so
as a performance optimization, treat the empty string specially.
Instead of making a copy, store a pointer to a statically-allocated
empty string to object_array_entry::name. When deleting such an
entry, skip the free().
Change the callers that were already passing copies to
add_object_array_with_mode() to either skip the copy, or (if the
memory needed to be allocated anyway) freeing the memory itself.

Previously, the default history treated bottom commits the same as any
other UNINTERESTING commit, which could force it down side branches.
Consider the following history:
*A--*B---D--*F * marks !TREESAME parent paths
\ /*
`-C-'
When requesting "B..F", B is UNINTERESTING but TREESAME to D. C is
!UNINTERESTING.
So default following would go from D into the irrelevant side branch C
to A, rather than to B. Note also that if there had been an extra
!UNINTERESTING commit B1 between B and D, it wouldn't have gone down C.
Change the default following to test relevant_commit() instead of
!UNINTERESTING, so it can proceed straight from D to B, thus finishing

Use the BOTTOM flag to define relevance for pruning. Relevant commits
are those that are !UNINTERESTING or BOTTOM, and this allows us to
identify irrelevant side branches (UNINTERESTING && !BOTTOM).
If a merge has relevant parents, and it is TREESAME to them, then do not
let irrelevant parents cause the merge to be treated as !TREESAME.
When considering simplification, don't always include all merges -
merges with exactly one relevant parent can be simplified, if TREESAME
according to the above rule.

When performing edge-based operations on the revision graph, it can be
useful to be able to identify the INTERESTING graph's connection(s) to
the bottom commit(s) specified by the user.
Conceptually when the user specifies "A..B" (== B ^A), they are asking
for the history from A to B. The first connection from A onto the
INTERESTING graph is part of that history, and should be considered. If
we consider only INTERESTING nodes and their connections, then we're
really only considering the history from A's immediate descendants to B.
This patch does not change behaviour, but adds a new BOTTOM flag to
indicate the bottom commits specified by the user, ready to be used by
following patches.
We immediately use the BOTTOM flag to return collect_bottom_commits() to
its original approach of examining the pending commit list rather than
the command line. This will ensure alignment of the definition of
"bottom" with future patches.

Reimplement commit 4b7f53da on top of the new simplify-merges
infrastructure, tightening the condition to only consider root parents;
the original version incorrectly dropped parents that were TREESAME to
anything.
Original log message follows.
The merge simplification rule stated in 6546b59 (revision traversal:
show full history with merge simplification, 2008-07-31) still
treated merge commits too specially. Namely, in a history with this
shape:
---o---o---M
/
x---x---x
where three 'x' were on a history completely unrelated to the main
history 'o' and do not touch any of the paths we are following, we
still said that after simplifying all of the parents of M, 'x'
(which is the leftmost 'x' that rightmost 'x simplifies down to) and
'o' (which would be the last commit on the main history that touches
the paths we are following) are independent from each other, and
both need to be kept.
That is incorrect; when the side branch 'x' never touches the paths,
it should be removed to allow M to simplify down to the last commit
on the main history that touches the paths.

When simplifying an odd merge, such as one that used "-s ours", we may
find ourselves TREESAME to apparently redundant parents. Prevent
simplify_merges() from removing every TREESAME parent; if this would
happen reinstate the first TREESAME parent - the one that the default

This avoids producing a totally disjoint history from the default log
when the default log is a better explanation of the end result, and aids
visualisation of odd merges.

History simplification previously always treated merges as TREESAME
if they were TREESAME to any parent.
While this was consistent with the default behaviour, this could be
extremely unhelpful when searching detailed history, and could not be
overridden. For example, if a merge had ignored a change, as if by "-s
ours", then:
git log -m -p --full-history -Schange file
would successfully locate "change"'s addition but would not locate the
merge that resolved against it.
Futher, simplify_merges could drop the actual parent that a commit
was TREESAME to, leaving it as a normal commit marked TREESAME that
isn't actually TREESAME to its remaining parent.
Now redefine a commit's TREESAME flag to be true only if a commit is
TREESAME to _all_ of its parents. This doesn't affect either the default
simplify_history behaviour (because partially TREESAME merges are turned
into normal commits), or full-history with parent rewriting (because all
merges are output). But it does affect other modes. The clearest
difference is that --full-history will show more merges - sufficient to
ensure that -m -p --full-history log searches can really explain every
change to the file, including those changes' ultimate fate in merges.
Also modify simplify_merges to recalculate TREESAME after removing
a parent. This is achieved by storing per-parent TREESAME flags on the
initial scan, so the combined flag can be easily recomputed.
This fixes some t6111 failures, but creates a couple of new ones -
we are now showing some merges that don't need to be shown.

The documentation assures users that "A...B" is defined as "A B --not

The main effect of this was that although
git rev-list --ancestry-path A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)
worked, the simpler form
git rev-list --ancestry-path A...B
failed with a "no bottom commits" error.
Other potential users of bottom commits could also be affected by this
problem, if they examine revs->cmdline_info; I came across the issue in

simplify-merges: drop merge from irrelevant side branch
This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.
The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b). This is used in two
contexts:
* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.
The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff(). It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P. It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.
The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs. At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching. We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.
This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery. This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.
Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain. Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff. However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

If you run "git log --grep=foo", we will run your regex on
the literal bytes of the commit message. This can provide
confusing results if the commit message is not in the same
encoding as your grep expression (or worse, you have commits
in multiple encodings, in which case your regex would need
to be written to match either encoding). On top of this, we
might also be grepping in the commit's notes, which are
already re-encoded, potentially leading to grepping in a
buffer with mixed encodings concatenated. This is insanity,
but most people never noticed, because their terminal and
their commit encodings all match.
Instead, let's massage the to-be-grepped commit into a
standardized encoding. There is not much point in adding a
flag for "this is the encoding I expect my grep pattern to
match"; the only sane choice is for it to use the log output
encoding. That is presumably what the user's terminal is
using, and it means that the patterns found by the grep will
match the output produced by git.
As a bonus, this fixes a potential segfault in commit_match
when commit->buffer is NULL, as we now build on logmsg_reencode,
which handles reading the commit buffer from disk if
necessary. The segfault can be triggered with:
git commit -m 'text1' --allow-empty
git commit -m 'text2' --allow-empty
git log --graph --no-walk --grep 'text2'
which arguably does not make any sense (--graph inherently
wants a connected history, and by --no-walk the command line
is telling us to show discrete points in history without
connectivity), and we probably should forbid the
combination, but that is a separate issue.

both need to be kept.
That is incorrect; when the side branch 'x' never touches the paths,
it should be removed to allow M to simplify down to the last commit
on the main history that touches the paths.

When we taught the commit_match() mechanism to pay attention to the
new --use-mailmap option, we started to unconditionally copy the
commit object to a temporary buffer, just in case we need the author
and committer lines updated via the mailmap mechanism, and rewrite
author and committer using the mailmap.
It turns out that this has a rather unpleasant performance
implications. In the linux kernel repository, running
$ git log --author='Junio C Hamano' --pretty=short >/dev/null
under /usr/bin/time, with and without --use-mailmap (the .mailmap
file is 118 entries long, the particular author does not appear in
it), cost (with warm cache):
[without --use-mailmap]
5.42user 0.26system 0:05.70elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2005936maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+137669minor)pagefaults 0swaps
[with --use-mailmap]

0inputs+0outputs (0major+137692minor)pagefaults 0swaps
which incurs about 20% overhead. The command is doing extra work,
so the extra cost may be justified.
But it is inexcusable to pay the cost when we do not need
author/committer match. In the same repository,
$ git log --grep='fix menuconfig on debian lenny' --pretty=short >/dev/null
shows very similar numbers as the above:
[without --use-mailmap]
5.32user 0.30system 0:05.63elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2005984maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+137672minor)pagefaults 0swaps
[with --use-mailmap]
6.64user 0.24system 0:06.89elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 2006320maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+137694minor)pagefaults 0swaps
The latter case is an unnecessary performance regression. We may
want to _show_ the result with mailmap applied, but we do not have
to copy and rewrite the author/committer of all commits we try to
match if we do not query for these fields.
Trivially optimize this performace regression by limiting the
rewrites for only when we are matching with author/committer fields.

Currently you can use mailmap to display log authors and committers
but you can't use the mailmap to find commits with mapped values.
This commit allows you to run:
git log --use-mailmap --author mapped_name_or_email
git log --use-mailmap --committer mapped_name_or_email
Of course it only works if the --use-mailmap option is used.
The new name and email are copied only when necessary.

Emit the notes attached to the commit in "format-patch --notes"
output after three-dashes.
* jc/prettier-pretty-note:
format-patch: add a blank line between notes and diffstat
Doc User-Manual: Patch cover letter, three dashes, and --notes
Doc format-patch: clarify --notes use case
Doc notes: Include the format-patch --notes option
Doc SubmittingPatches: Mention --notes option after "cover letter"
Documentation: decribe format-patch --notes
format-patch --notes: show notes after three-dashes
format-patch: append --signature after notes
pretty_print_commit(): do not append notes message
pretty: prepare notes message at a centralized place
format_note(): simplify API
pretty: remove reencode_commit_message()
We either stuff the notes message without modification for %N
userformat, or format it for human consumption. Using two bits
is an overkill that does not benefit anybody.

When we added the "--perl-regexp" option (or "-P") to "git grep", we
should have done the same for the commands in the "git log" family,
but somehow we forgot to do so. This corrects it, but we will
reserve the short-and-sweet "-P" option for something else for now.
Also introduce the "--basic-regexp" option for completeness, so that
the "last one wins" principle can be used to defeat an earlier -E
option, e.g. "git log -E --basic-regexp --grep='<bre>'". Note that
it cannot have the short "-G" option as the option is to grep in the
patch text in the context of "log" family.

The command line option parser for "git log -F -E --grep='<ere>'"
did not flip the "fixed" bit, violating the general "last option
wins" principle among conflicting options.

Instead of using the hand-rolled initialization sequence,
use grep_init() to populate the necessary bits. This opens
the door to allow the calling commands to optionally read
grep.* configuration variables via git_config() if they
want to.

Similar to --author/--committer which filters commits by author and
committer header fields. --grep-reflog adds a fake "reflog" header to
commit and a grep filter to search on that line.
All rules to --author/--committer apply except no timestamp stripping.

Our "grep" allows complex boolean expressions to be formed to match
each individual line with operators like --and, '(', ')' and --not.
Introduce the "--debug" option to show the parse tree to help people
who want to debug and enhance it.
Also "log" learns "--grep-debug" option to do the same. The command
line parser to the log family is a lot more limited than the general
"git grep" parser, but it has special handling for header matching
(e.g. "--author"), and a parse tree is valuable when working on it.
Note that "--all-match" is *not* any individual node in the parse
tree. It is an instruction to the evaluator to check all the nodes
in the top-level backbone have matched and reject a document as
non-matching otherwise.
