write_file(): drop caller-supplied LF from calls to create a one-liner file
All of the callsites covered by this change call write_file() or
write_file_gently() to create a one-liner file. Drop the caller
supplied LF and let these callees to append it as necessary.
write_file_v(): do not leave incomplete line at the end
All existing callers to this function use it to produce a text file
or an empty file, and a new callsite that mimick them must end their
payload with a LF. If they forget to do so, the resulting file will
end with an incomplete line.
Teach write_file_v() to complete the incomplete line, if exists, so
that the callers do not have to.
With this, the caller-side fix in builtin/am.c becomes unnecessary.
527ec39 (generate-cmdlist: parse common group commands, 2015-05-21)
replaced generate-cmdlist.sh with a more functional Perl version,
generate-cmdlist.perl. The Perl version gleans named tags from a new
"common groups" section in command-list.txt and recognizes those
tags in "command list" section entries in place of the old 'common'
tag. This allows git-help to, not only recognize, but also group
common commands.
Although the tests require Perl, 527ec39 creates an unconditional
dependence upon Perl in the build system itself, which can not be
overridden with NO_PERL. Such a dependency may be undesirable; for
instance, the 'git-lite' package in the FreeBSD ports tree is
intended as a minimal Git installation (which may, for example, be
useful on servers needing only local clone and update capability),
which, historically, has not depended upon Perl[1].
Therefore, revive generate-cmdlist.sh and extend it to recognize
"common groups" and its named tags. Retire generate-cmdlist.perl.

Unlike other 'git describe' options, the '--contains' code path is
implemented by calling 'name-rev' with a bunch of options plus all the
commit-ishes that were passed to 'git describe'. If no commit-ish was
present, then 'name-rev' got invoked with none, which then leads to the
behavior illustrated above.
Porcelain commands usually default to HEAD when no commit-ish is given,
and 'git describe' already does so in all other cases, so it should do
so with '--contains' as well.
Pass HEAD to 'name-rev' when no commit-ish is given on the command line
to make '--contains' behave consistently with other 'git describe'
options. While at it, use argv_array_pushv() instead of the loop to
pass commit-ishes to 'git name-rev'.
'git describe's short help already indicates that the commit-ish is
optional, but the synopsis in the man page doesn't, so update it
accordingly as well.

All callers except three passed 1 for the "fatal" parameter to ask
this function to die upon error, but to a casual reader of the code,
it was not all obvious what that 1 meant. Instead, split the
function into two based on a common write_file_v() that takes the
flag, introduce write_file_gently() as a new way to attempt creating
a file without dying on error, and make three callers to call it.
We forgot to terminate the payload given to write_file() with LF,
resulting in files that end with an incomplete line. Teach the
wrappers builtin/am uses to make sure it adds LF at the end as
necessary.
There are many calls to write_file() that repeat the same pattern in
the implementation of the builtin version of "am". They all share
the same traits, i.e they
- produce a text file with a single string in it;
- have enough information to produce the entire contents of that
file;
- generate the pathname of the file by making a call to am_path(); and
- they ask write_file() to die() upon failure.
The slight differences among the call sites throw them into roughly
three categories:
- many write either "t" or "f" based on a boolean value to a file;
- some write the integer value in decimal text;
- some others write more general string, e.g. an object name in
hex, an empty string (i.e. the presense of the file itself serves
as a flag), etc.
Introduce three helpers, write_state_bool(), write_state_count() and
write_state_text(), to reduce direct calls to write_file().
This is a preparatory step for the next step to ensure that no
"state" file this command leaves in $GIT_DIR is with an incomplete
line at the end.

rev-list: make it obvious that we do not support notes
The rev-list command does not have the internal
infrastructure to display notes. Running:
git rev-list --notes HEAD
will silently ignore the "--notes" option. Running:
git rev-list --notes --grep=. HEAD
will crash on an assert. Running:
git rev-list --format=%N HEAD
will place a literal "%N" in the output (it does not even
expand to an empty string).
Let's have rev-list tell the user that it cannot fill the
user's request, rather than silently producing wrong data.
Likewise, let's remove mention of the notes options from the
rev-list documentation.

config: silence warnings for command names with invalid keys
When we are running the git command "foo", we may have to
look up the config keys "pager.foo" and "alias.foo". These
config schemes are mis-designed, as the command names can be
anything, but the config syntax has some restrictions. For
example:
$ git foo_bar
error: invalid key: pager.foo_bar
error: invalid key: alias.foo_bar
git: 'foo_bar' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
You cannot name an alias with an underscore. And if you have
an external command with one, you cannot configure its
pager.
In the long run, we may develop a different config scheme
for these features. But in the near term (and because we'll
need to support the existing scheme indefinitely), we should
at least squelch the error messages shown above.
These errors come from git_config_parse_key. Ideally we
would pass a "quiet" flag to the config machinery, but there
are many layers between the pager code and the key parsing.
Passing a flag through all of those would be an invasive
change.
Instead, let's provide a config function to report on
whether a key is syntactically valid, and have the pager and
alias code skip lookup for bogus keys. We can build this
easily around the existing git_config_parse_key, with two
minor modifications:
1. We now handle a NULL store_key, to validate but not
write out the normalized key.
2. We accept a "quiet" flag to avoid writing to stderr.
This doesn't need to be a full-blown public "flags"
field, because we can make the existing implementation
a static helper function, keeping the mess contained
inside config.c.

When looking for the start of the trailers in the message
we are passed, we should ignore the first line of the message.
The reason is that if we are passed a patch or commit message
then the first line should be the patch title.
If we are passed only trailers we can expect that they start
with an empty line that can be ignored too.
This way we can properly process commit messages that have
only one line with something that looks like a trailer, for
example like "area of code: change we made".

We defaulted to ignoring merge diffs because long long ago, in a
galaxy far away, we didn't have a great way to show the diffs. The
whole "--cc" option goes back to January '06 and commit d8f4790e6fe7
("diff-tree --cc: denser combined diff output for a merge commit").
And before that option - so for about 8 months - we had no good way
to show the diffs of merges in a good dense way. So the whole
"don't show diffs for merges by default" actually made a lot of
sense originally, because our merge diffs were not very useful.
And this was carried forward to this day. "git log --cc" still
ignores merge commits, and you need to say "git log -m --cc" to view
a sensible rendition of merge and non-merge commits, even with the
previous change to make "--cc" imply "-p".
Teach "git log" that "--cc" means the user wants to see interesting
changes in merge commits by turning "-m" on.
log: when --cc is given, default to -p unless told otherwise
The "--cc" option to "git log" is clearly a request to show some
sort of combined diff (be it --patch or --raw), but traditionally
we required the command line to explicitly ask for "git log -p --cc".
Teach the command line parser to treat a lone "--cc" as if the user
specified "-p --cc". Formats that do ask for other forms of diff
output, e.g. "log --raw --cc", are not overriden.
The revision walking API allows the callers to tweak its
configuration at the last minute, immediately after all the revision
and pathspec parameters are parsed from the command line but before
the default actions are decided based on them, by defining a "tweak"
callback function when calling setup_revisions(). Traditionally,
this facility was used by "git show" to turn on the patch output
"-p" by default when no diff output option (e.g. "--raw" or "-s" to
squelch the output altogether) is given on the command line, and
further give dense combined diffs "--cc" for merge commits when no
option to countermand it (e.g. "-m" to show pairwise patches).
Recently, "git log" started using the same facility, but we named
the callback function "default_follow_tweak()", as if the only kind
of tweaking we would want for "git log" will forever be limited to
turning "--follow" on by default when told by a configuration
variable. That was myopic.
Rename it to more generic name "log_setup_revisions_tweak()", and
match the one used by show "show_setup_revisions_tweak()".
We create a strbuf only to insert a single string, pass the
resulting buffer to a function (which does not modify the

string instead.

When formatting a config value into a strbuf, we may end
up stringifying it into a fixed-size buffer using sprintf,
and then copying that buffer into the strbuf. We can
eliminate the middle-man (and drop some calls to sprintf!)
by writing directly to the strbuf.
The reason it was written this way in the first place is
that we need to know before writing the value whether to
insert a delimiter. Instead of delaying the write of the
value, we speculatively write the delimiter, and roll it
back in the single case that cares.

It's unusual for a function which writes to a passed-in
strbuf to call strbuf_init; that will throw away anything
already there, leaking memory. In this case, there are
exactly two callers; one relies on this initialization and
the other passes in an already-initialized buffer.
There's no leak, as the initialized buffer doesn't have
anything in it. But let's bump the strbuf_init out to the
one caller who needs it, making format_config more
idiomatic.

ps_matched: xcalloc() takes nmemb and then element size

element whose size is the same as the number of pathspec elements.
git_path() and mkpath() are handy helper functions but it is easy
