Grep may want to grok multiple revisions, but it does not make
much sense to walk revisions while doing so. This stops calling
the code to parse parameters for the revision walker. The
parameter parsing for the optional "-e" option becomes a lot
simpler with it as well.
This attempts to set up built-in "git grep" to further reduce
our dependence on the shell, while at the same time optionally
allowing to run grep against object database. You could do
funky things like these:
git grep --cached -e pattern ;# grep from index
git grep -e pattern master ;# or in a rev
git grep -e pattern master next ;# or in multiple revs
git grep -e pattern pu^@ ;# even like this with an
;# extension from another topic ;-)
git grep -e pattern master..next ;# or even from rev ranges
git grep -e pattern master~20:Documentation
;# or an arbitrary tree
git grep -e pattern next:git-commit.sh
;# or an arbitrary blob
Right now, it does not understand and/or obey many options grep
should accept, and the pattern must be given with -e option due
to the way the parameter parser is structured, both of which
obviously need to be fixed for usability.
But this is going in the right direction. The shell script
version is one of the worst Portability offender in the git
barebone Porcelainish; it uses xargs -0 to pass paths around and
shell arrays to sift flags and parameters.

After doing the hard work of hand resolving the conflicts in the
working tree, if the user forgets to run update-index to mark
the paths that have been resolved, the command gave an
unfriendly "fatal: git-write-tree: not able to write tree" error
message. Catch the situation early and give more meaningful
message and suggestion.
When I split out the builtin commands into their own files, I left the
include of <sys/ioctl.h> in git.c rather than moving it to the file that
needed it (builtin-help.c).
Nobody seems to have noticed, because everything still worked, but because
the TIOCGWINSZ macro was now no longer defined when compiling the
"term_columns()" function, it would no longer automatically notice the
terminal size unless your system used the ancient "COLUMNS" environment
variable approach.
Trivially fixed by just moving the header include to the file that
actually needs it.

socksetup: don't return on set_reuse_addr() error
There is no point reading the whole object just to make sure it exists and

When we are in a subdirectory of a git archive, we need to take the prefix
of that subdirectory into accoung when we verify filename arguments.

This also uses the improved error reporting for all the other git commands
that use the revision parsing interfaces, not just git-rev-parse. Also, it
makes the error reporting for mixed filenames and argument flags clearer
(you cannot put flags after the start of the pathname list).

commit-tree: allow generic object name for the tree as well.
We use get_sha1() for -p (parent) objects, but still used
get_sha1_hex() for the tree. Just to be consistent, allow
extended SHA1 expression for the tree object name.
Note that this is not to encourage funky things like this:
When we updated ls-tree recursive output to omit the tree nodes, 246cc52f388cae8ca99e5a12b8458c9bfa467765 adjusted the old test
so that we do not expect to see trees in its output. Later,
with 0f8f45cb4a7e664b396f73c25891da46b953b8b8, we added back the
ability to show both with -t option, but we forgot to update the
test as well.
The patch format shows complete rewrite as deletion of all old lines
followed by addition of all new lines. Count lines consistenly with
that when doing diffstat.
Makefile: remove and create libgit.a from scratch.
Foolishly I renamed diff.o around which caused an old diff.o
taken out of libgit.a and got linked into resulting binary and
exhibited mysterious breakage for many people. This borrows
from the kernel Makefile (scripts/Makefile.build) to first remove
the target and then recreate.
The set_reuse_addr() error case was the only error case in
socklist() where we returned rather than continued. Not sure
why. Either we must free the socklist, or continue. This patch
continues on error.

(cherry picked from 0032d548db56eac9ea09b4ba05843365f6325b85 commit)
Deprecate usage of git-var -l for getting config vars list
This has been an unfortunate sideway in the git API evolution.
We use git-repo-config for all the other .git/config interaction
so let's also use git-repo-config -l for the variable listing.
This adds git-repo-config --list (or git-repo-config -l) support,
similar to what git-var -l does now (to be phased out so that we
have a single sane interface to the config file instead of fragmented
and confused API).
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.
It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).
rev-parse: better error message for ambiguous arguments
Currently, if git-rev-parse encounters an argument that is neither a
recognizable revision name nor the name of an existing file or
directory, and it hasn't encountered a "--" argument, it prints an
error message saying "No such file or directory". This can be
confusing for users, including users of programs such as gitk that
use git-rev-parse, who may then think that they can't ask about the
history of files that no longer exist.
This makes it print a better error message, one that points out the
ambiguity and tells the user what to do to fix it.
gitk: Let git-rev-list do the argument list parsing
This is a fix for a problem reported by Jim Radford where an argument
list somewhere overflows on repositories with lots of tags. In fact
it's now unnecessary to use git-rev-parse since git-rev-list can take
all the arguments that git-rev-parse can. This is inspired by but not
the same as the solutions suggested by Jim Radford and Linus Torvalds.
make update-index --chmod work with multiple files and --stdin
The patch makes "--chmod=-x" and "--chmod=+x" act like "--add"
and "--remove" to affect the behaviour of the command for the
rest of the path parameters, not just the following one.
The second installment to libify diff brothers. The pathname
arguments are checked more strictly than before because we now
use the revision.c::setup_revisions() infrastructure.
This is the first installment to libify diff brothers.
The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions()
infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means
the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before.
The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from
the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher
way.
As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply
stupid, so I am renaming it back. The new diff-lib.c is to
contain pieces extracted from diff brothers.
I hacked it up to teach it the git extended diff headers, made
it not to read the whole patch in the array.
Also, the original program, when arguments are given, ran "diff"
with the given arguments and showed the output from it. Of
course, I changed it to run "git diff" ;-).
Split up builtin commands into separate files from git.c
Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands
("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the
informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version").
This just makes things easier to read, I find.

pack-objects: do not stop at object that is "too small"
mailinfo: decode underscore used in "Q" encoding properly.
Quoted-Printable (RFC 2045) and the "Q" encoding (RFC 2047) are
subtly different; the latter is used on the mail header and an
underscore needs to be decoded to 0x20.
pack-objects: do not stop at object that is "too small"
Because we sort the delta window by name-hash and then size,
hitting an object that is too small to consider as a delta base
for the current object does not mean we do not have better
candidate in the window beyond it.
Noticed by Shawn Pearce, analyzed by Nico, Linus and me.
When running "git commit --amend" only to fix the commit log
message without any content change, we mistakenly showed the
git-status output that says "nothing to commit" without
commenting it out.
If you have already run update-index but you want to amend the
top commit, "git commit --amend --only" without any paths should
have worked, because --only means "starting from the base
commit, update-index these paths only to prepare the index to
commit, and perform the commit". However, we refused -o without
paths.
When a verbatim rename or copy is detected, we did not show
anything on the "diff --stat" for the filepair. This makes it
to show the rename information.
This is an attempt to address the issue raised on #git channel
recently by Carl Worth.
After a conflicted automerge, "git diff" shows a combined diff
to give you how the tentative automerge result differs from
what came from each branch. During a complex merge, it is
tempting to be able to resolve a few paths at a time, mark
them "I've dealt with them" with git-update-index to unclutter
the next "git diff" output, and keep going. However, when the
final result does not compile or otherwise found to be a
mismerge, the workflow to fix the mismerged paths suddenly
changes to "git diff HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from our
HEAD before merging) and "git diff MERGE_HEAD -- path" (to get
a diff from theirs), and it cannot show the combined anymore.
With git-unresolve <paths>..., the versions from our branch and
their branch for specified blobs are placed in stage #2 and
stage #3, without touching the working tree files. This gives
you the combined diff back for easier review, along with
"diff --ours" and "diff --theirs".
One thing it does not do is to place the base in stage #1; this
means "diff --base" would behave differently between the run
immediately after a conflicted three-way merge, and the run
after an update-index by mistake followed by a git-unresolve.
We could theoretically run merge-base between HEAD and
MERGE_HEAD to find which tree to place in stage #1, but
reviewing "diff --base" is not that useful so....
* lt/xsha1:
get_tree_entry(): make it available from tree-walk
sha1_name.c: no need to include diff.h; tree-walk.h will do.
sha1_name.c: prepare to make get_tree_entry() reusable from others.
get_sha1() shorthands for blob/tree objects
Several <<< or === or >>> characters at the beginning of a line
is very likely to be leftover conflict markers from a failed
automerge the user resolved incorrectly, so detect them.
As usual, this can be defeated with "git commit --no-verify" if
you really do want to have those files, just like changes that
introduce trailing whitespaces.
We said "fix up by hand" after failed automerge, which was a big
"Huh? Now what?". Be a bit more explicit without being too
verbose. Suggested by Carl Worth.
I personally prefer "ignore_merges" to be on by default, because quite
often the merge diff is distracting and not interesting. That's true both
with "-p" and with "--stat" output.
If you want output from merges, you can trivially use the "-m", "-c" or
"--cc" flags to tell that you're interested in merges, which also tells
the diff generator what kind of diff to do (for --stat, any of the three
will do, of course, but they differ for plain patches or for
--patch-with-stat).
This trivial patch just removes the two lines that tells "git log" not to
ignore merges. It will still show the commit log message, of course, due
to the "always_show_header" part.

Allow "git repack" users to specify repacking window/depth
.. but don't even bother documenting it. I don't think any normal person
is supposed to ever really care, but it simplifies testing when you want
to use the "git repack" wrapper rather than forcing you to use the core
programs (which already do support the window/depth arguments, of course).

This is a fairly straightforward patch to allow "get_sha1()" to also have
shorthands for tree and blob objects.
The syntax is very simple and intuitive: you can specify a tree or a blob
by simply specifying <revision>:<path>, and get_sha1() will do the SHA1
lookup from the tree for you.
You can currently do it with "git ls-tree <rev> <path>" and parsing the
output, but that's actually pretty awkward.
With this, you can do something like
git cat-file blob v1.2.4:Makefile
to get the contents of "Makefile" at revision v1.2.4.
Now, this isn't necessarily something you really need all that often, but
the concept itself is actually pretty powerful. We could, for example,
allow things like
to see the difference between two arbitrary files in two arbitrary
revisions. To do that, the only thing we'd have to do is to make
git-diff-tree accept two blobs to diff, in addition to the two trees it
now expects.
When I unified the revision argument parsing, I introduced a simple bug
wrt tags that had been marked uninteresting. When it was preparing for the
revision walk, it would mark all the parent commits of an uninteresting
tag correctly uninteresting, but it would forget about the commit itself.
This means that when I just did my 2.6.17-rc2 release, and my scripts
generated the log for "v2.6.17-rc1..v2.6.17-rc2", everything was fine,
except the commit pointed to by 2.6.17-rc1 (which shouldn't have been
there) was included. Even though it should obviously have been marked as
being uninteresting.
Not a huge deal, and the fix is trivial.
