Matthieu Moy 23f8239bbe doc: typeset short command-line options as literal
It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with
forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes
which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to
Documentation/CodingGuidelines.

This was obtained with:

  perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt

Jacob Keller 4f655e22b7 notes: teach git-notes about notes.<name>.mergeStrategy option
Teach notes about a new "notes.<name>.mergeStrategy" option for
configuring the notes merge strategy when merging into
refs/notes/<name>. This option allows for the selection of merge
strategy for particular notes refs, rather than all notes ref merges, as
user may not want cat_sort_uniq for all refs, but only some. Note that
the <name> is the local reference we are merging into, not the remote
ref we merged from. The assumption is that users will mostly want to
configure separate local ref merge strategies rather than strategies
depending on which remote ref they merge from.

notes.<name>.mergeStrategy overrides the general behavior as it is more
specific.

Johan Herland d73a5b933d builtin/notes: add --allow-empty, to allow storing empty notes
Although the "git notes" man page advertises that we support binary-safe
notes addition (using the -C option), we currently do not support adding
the empty note (i.e. using the empty blob to annotate an object). Instead,
an empty note is always treated as an intent to remove the note
altogether.

Introduce the --allow-empty option to the add/append/edit subcommands,
to explicitly allow an empty note to be stored into the notes tree.

Also update the documentation, and add test cases for the new option.

Junio C Hamano e703d7118c parse-options: multi-word argh should use dash to separate words
"When you need to use space, use dash" is a strange way to say that
you must not use a space.  Because it is more common for the command
line descriptions to use dashed-multi-words, you do not even want to
use spaces in these places.  Rephrase the documentation to avoid
this strangeness.

Fix a few existing multi-word argument help strings, i.e.

 - GPG key-ids given to -S/--gpg-sign are "key-id";
 - Refs used for storing notes are "notes-ref"; and
 - Expiry timestamps given to --expire are "expiry-date".

Jeff King 6cf378f0cb docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literal
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.

It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:

  1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
     contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
     of `master{tilde}1`.

  2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
     tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
     quoting.

This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).

Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:

  - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
    literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")

  - some code examples used the right-arrow character
    instead of '->' because they failed to quote

  - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
    HTML contained a bogus snippet like:

      <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>

    which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
    sections of the page.

  - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
    literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)

  - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
    erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
    author@example.com

  - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
    the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".

  - using "prime" notation like:

      commit `C` and its replacement `C'`

    confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
    the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
    to be inside matched quotes

  - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
    asterisks. In particular,

      `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`

    properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
    literally passed through the backslash in the second
    case.

Michael J Gruber 11432bb467 git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F
The current description of '-C' together with the analogy to 'git commit
-C' can lead to the wrong conclusion that '-C' copies notes between
objects. Make this clearer by rewording and pointing to 'copy'.

The example for attaching binary notes with 'git hash-object' followed
by 'git notes add -C' immediately raises the question: "Why not use 'git
notes add -F'?". Answer it (the latter is not binary-safe).

Depending on the application, it is not necessarily an error for an object

Junio C Hamano c3ab1a8e4c notes remove: allow removing more than one
While "xargs -n1 git notes rm" is certainly a possible way to remove notes
from many objects, this would create one notes "commit" per removal, which
is not quite suitable for seasonal housekeeping.

Allow taking more than one on the command line, and record their removal
as a single atomic event if everthing goes well.

Even though the old code insisted that "git notes rm" must be given only
one object (or zero, in which case it would default to HEAD), this
condition was not tested. Add tests to handle the new case where we feed
multiple objects, and also make sure if there is a bad input, no change
is recorded.

Johan Herland 84a7e35eea Make "git notes add" more user-friendly when there are existing notes
Currently, "notes add" (without -f/--force) will abort when the given object
already has existing notes. This makes sense for the modes of "git notes add"
that would necessarily overwrite the old message (when using the -m/-F/-C/-c
options). However, when no options are given (meaning the notes are created
from scratch in the editor) it is not very user-friendly to abort on existing
notes, and forcing the user to run "git notes edit".

Instead, it is better to simply "redirect" to "git notes edit" automatically,
i.e. open the existing notes in the editor and let the user edit them.
This patch does just that.

This changes the behavior of "git notes add" without options when notes
already exist for the given object, but I doubt that many users really depend
on the previous failure from "git notes add" in this case.

Johan Herland a6a09095a0 git notes merge: Add another auto-resolving strategy: "cat_sort_uniq"
This new strategy is similar to "concatenate", but in addition to
concatenating the two note candidates, this strategy sorts the resulting
lines, and removes duplicate lines from the result. This is equivalent to
applying the "cat | sort | uniq" shell pipeline to the two note candidates.

This strategy is useful if the notes follow a line-based format where one
wants to avoid duplicate lines in the merge result.

Note that if either of the note candidates contain duplicate lines _prior_
to the merge, these will also be removed by this merge strategy.

The patch also contains tests and documentation for the new strategy.

Johan Herland 6abb3655ef git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 2/2
When the notes merge conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE have been
resolved, we need to record a new notes commit on the appropriate notes
ref with the resolved notes.

This patch implements 'git notes merge --commit' which the user should
run after resolving conflicts in the notes merge worktree. This command
finalizes the notes merge by recombining the partial notes tree from
part 1 with the now-resolved conflicts in the notes merge worktree in a
merge commit, and updating the appropriate ref to this merge commit.

In order to correctly finalize the merge, we need to keep track of three
things:

- The partial merge result from part 1, containing the auto-merged notes.
  This is now stored into a ref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_PARTIAL.
- The unmerged notes. These are already stored in
  .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE, thanks to part 1.
- The notes ref to be updated by the finalized merge result. This is now
  stored in a symref called .git/NOTES_MERGE_REF.

In addition to "git notes merge --commit", which uses the above details
to create the finalized notes merge commit, this patch also implements
"git notes merge --reset", which aborts the ongoing notes merge by simply
removing the files/directory described above.

FTR, "git notes merge --commit" reuses "git notes merge --reset" to remove
the information described above (.git/NOTES_MERGE_*) after the notes merge
have been successfully finalized.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the two new options.

This patch has been improved by the following contributions:
- Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Fix nonsense sentence in --commit description
- Sverre Rabbelier: Rename --reset to --abort

Johan Herland 809f38c8ab git notes merge: Manual conflict resolution, part 1/2
Conflicts (that are to be resolved manually) are written into a special-
purpose working tree, located at .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE. Within this
directory, conflicting notes entries are stored (with conflict markers
produced by ll_merge()) using the SHA1 of the annotated object. The
.git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE directory will only contain the _conflicting_
note entries. The non-conflicting note entries (aka. the partial merge
result) are stored in 'local_tree', and the SHA1 of the resulting commit
is written to 'result_sha1'. The return value from notes_merge() is -1.

The user is told to edit the files within the .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE
directory in order to resolve the conflicts.

The patch also contains documentation and testcases for the correct setup
of .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE.

The next part will recombine the partial notes merge result with the
resolved conflicts in .git/NOTES_MERGE_WORKTREE to produce the complete
merge result.

Thomas Rast dcf783a261 notes: add shorthand --ref to override GIT_NOTES_REF
Adds a shorthand option that overrides the GIT_NOTES_REF variable, and
hence determines the notes tree that will be manipulated.  It also
DWIMs a refs/notes/ prefix.

Thomas Rast 6956f858f6 notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite
Implement helper functions to load the rewriting config, and to
actually copy the notes.  Also document the config.

Secondly, also implement an undocumented --for-rewrite=<cmd> option to
'git notes copy' which is used like --stdin, but also puts the
configuration for <cmd> into effect.  It will be needed to support the
copying in git-rebase.

Thomas Rast 160baa0d9c notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'
This implements a mass-copy command that takes a sequence of lines in
the format

  <from-sha1> SP <to-sha1> [ SP <rest> ] LF

on stdin, and copies each <from-sha1>'s notes to the <to-sha1>.  The
<rest> is ignored.  The intent, of course, is that this can read the
same input that the 'post-rewrite' hook gets.

The copy_note() function is exposed for everyone's and in particular
the next commit's use.

Thomas Rast 894a9d333e Support showing notes from more than one notes tree
With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,

[notes]
	displayRef = refs/notes/*

Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano for lots of feedback, which greatly
influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.

Johan Herland e73bbd96c6 builtin-notes: Add "copy" subcommand for copying notes between objects
This is useful for keeping notes to objects that are being rewritten by e.g.
'git commit --amend', 'git rebase', or 'git cherry-pick'.

"git notes copy <from> <to>" is in practice equivalent to
"git notes add -C $(git notes list <from>) <to>", although it is somewhat
more convenient for regular users.

"git notes copy" takes the same -f option as "git add", to overwrite existing
notes at the target (instead of aborting with an error message).

If the <from>-object has no notes, "git notes copy" will abort with an error
message.

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.

Johan Herland 0691cff7dc builtin-notes: Add -c/-C options for reusing notes
Inspired by the -c/-C options to "git commit", we teach these options to
"git notes add/append" to allow reuse of note objects.

With this patch in place, it is now easy to copy or move notes between
objects. For example, to copy object A's notes to object B:
	git notes add [-f] -C $(git notes list A) B
To move instead of copying, you simply remove the notes from the source
object afterwards, e.g.:
	git notes remove A

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new functionality.

Johan Herland aaec9bcf6d builtin-notes: Deprecate the -m/-F options for "git notes edit"
The semantics for "git notes edit -m/-F" overlap with those for
"git notes add -f", and the behaviour (i.e. overwriting existing
notes with the given message/file) is more intuitively captured
by (and better documented with) "git notes add -f".

Johan Herland 2347fae50b builtin-notes: Add "append" subcommand for appending to note objects
"git notes append" is equivalent to "git notes edit" except that instead
of editing existing notes contents, you can only append to it. This is
useful for quickly adding annotations like e.g.:
	git notes append -m "Acked-by: A U Thor <author@example.com>"

"git notes append" takes the same -m/-F options as "git notes add".

If there is no existing note to append to, "git notes append" is identical
to "git notes add" (i.e. it adds a new note).

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.

Johan Herland 7aa4754e55 builtin-notes: Add "add" subcommand for adding notes to objects
"git notes add" is identical to "git notes edit" except that instead of
editing existing notes for a given object, you can only add notes to an
object that currently has none. If "git notes add" finds existing notes
for the given object, the addition is aborted. However, if the new
-f/--force option is used, "git notes add" will _overwrite_ the existing
notes with the new notes contents.

If there is no existing notes for the given object. "git notes add" is
identical to "git notes edit" (i.e. it adds a new note).

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.

Johan Herland e397421abf builtin-notes: Add "list" subcommand for listing note objects
"git notes list" will list all note objects in the current notes ref (in the
format "<note object> <annotated object>"). "git notes list <object>" will
list the note object associated with the given <object>, or fail loudly if
the given <object> has no associated notes.

If no arguments are given to "git notes", it defaults to the "list"
subcommand. This is for pseudo-compatibility with "git tag" and "git branch".

The patch includes tests verifying correct behaviour of the new subcommand.
