Johannes Schindelin 722fc37491 help: do not expect built-in commands to be hardlinked
When building with SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS=YesPlease, the built-in
commands are no longer present in the `PATH` as hardlinks to `git`.

As a consequence, `load_command_list()` needs to be taught to find the
names of the built-in commands from elsewhere.

This only affected the output of `git --list-cmds=main`, but not the
output of `git help -a` because the latter includes the built-in
commands by virtue of them being listed in command-list.txt.

The bug was detected via a patch series that turns the merge strategies
included in Git into built-in commands: `git merge -s help` relies on
`load_command_list()` to determine the list of available merge
strategies.

Philippe Blain 0371a764d2 help: drop usage of 'common' and 'useful' for guides
Since 1b81d8cb19 (help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides,
2018-05-20), all man5/man7 guides listed in command-list.txt appear in
the output of 'git help -g'.

However, 'git help -g' still prefixes this list with "The common Git
guides are:", which makes one wonder if there are others!

In the same spirit, the man page for 'git help' describes the '--guides'
option as listing 'useful' guides, which is not false per se but can
also be taken to mean that there are other guides that exist but are not
useful.

Instead of 'common' and 'useful', use 'Git concept guides' in both
places. To keep the code in line with this change, rename
help.c::list_common_guides_help to list_guides_help.

Emily Shaffer 617d57195a bugreport: gather git version and build info
Knowing which version of Git a user has and how it was built allows us
to more precisely pin down the circumstances when a certain issue
occurs, so teach bugreport how to tell us the same output as 'git
version --build-options'.

It's not ideal to directly call 'git version --build-options' because
that output goes to stdout. Instead, wrap the version string in a helper
within help.[ch] library, and call that helper from within the bugreport
library.

Emily Shaffer 709df95b78 help: move list_config_help to builtin/help
Starting in 3ac68a93fd, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o,
builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was
unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help()
into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries
are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to
hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly
different way than the command list, and since commands and config
options are semantically different, move the config list into its own
header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

For reasons explained in 976aaedc (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29), some build
artifacts we consider non-source files cannot be generated in the
Visual Studio environment, and we already have some Makefile tweaks
to help Visual Studio to use generated command-list.h header file.
Do the same to a new generated file, config-list.h, introduced by
this change.

Denton Liu 554544276a *.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch
There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations.
Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are
caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with
processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern`
declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

This was the Coccinelle patch used:

	@@
	type T;
	identifier f;
	@@
	- extern
	  T f(...);

and it was run with:

	$ git ls-files \*.{c,h} |
		grep -v ^compat/ |
		xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place

Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly
copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much
as possible.

Han-Wen Nienhuys bf1a11f0a1 sideband: highlight keywords in remote sideband output
The colorization is controlled with the config setting "color.remote".

Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success". They
are highlighted if they appear at the start of the line, which is
common in error messages, eg.

   ERROR: commit is missing Change-Id

The Git push process itself prints lots of non-actionable messages
(eg. bandwidth statistics, object counters for different phases of the
process). This obscures actionable error messages that servers may
send back. Highlighting keywords in the sideband draws more attention
to those messages.

The background for this change is that Gerrit does server-side
processing to create or update code reviews, and actionable error
messages (eg. missing Change-Id) must be communicated back to the user
during the push. User research has shown that new users have trouble
seeing these messages.

The highlighting is done on the client rather than server side, so
servers don't have to grow capabilities to understand terminal escape
codes and terminal state. It also consistent with the current state
where Git is control of the local display (eg. prefixing messages with
"remote: ").

The highlighting can be configured using color.remote.<KEYWORD>
configuration settings. Since the keys are matched case insensitively,
we match the keywords case insensitively too.

Finally, this solution is backwards compatible: many servers already
prefix their messages with "error", and they will benefit from this
change without requiring a server update. By contrast, a server-side
solution would likely require plumbing the TERM variable through the
git protocol, so it would require changes to both server and client.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 3ac68a93fd help: add --config to list all available config
Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can
search for something they want. The config man page can also be used
but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name,
for example.

This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's
not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C
code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work.
This will do for now.

This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by
category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when
completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting
completable commands. It would be much easier for the user to choose
to complete _all_ commands instead of the default selection by passing
different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash.

While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with
--list-cmds since it's better suited for this task.

We used to underline a header text, like this:

    This is a header
    ----------------
    content...

But calculating text length so that the dashes align with the text
could get complicated because the text could be in any charset in
translated Git.

There is no point to use this pseudo underline; simply a blank
line would do and it even makes it easier to read:

    This is a header

    content...

While at it, give translators more context to translate, e.g.
e.g.  "git commands available..." instead of "%s available..."

Johannes Schindelin 8af84dadb1 git wrapper: DWIM mistyped commands
This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:

	swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4

A typical output would now look like this:

	$ git sm
	git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

	Did you mean one of these?
		am
		rm

The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.

As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it.  Example:

	$ git reabse
	WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
	not exist.
	Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'
	[...]
