The simplify_merges() function needs to look at all history chain to
find the closest ancestor that is relevant after the simplification,
but after --first-parent traversal, side parents haven't been marked
for relevance (they are irrelevant by definition due to the nature
of first-parent-only traversal) nor culled from the parents list of
resulting commits.

We cannot simply remove these side parents from the parents list, as
the output phase still wants to see the parents.  Instead, teach
simplify_one() and its callees to ignore the later parents.

The code internally runs sort_in_topo_order() already; it is more clear
to spell it out in the option parsing phase, instead of adding a special
case in simplify_merges() function.

By using commit_list_insert(), we added new items to the top of the
list and, since this is not the order we want, reversed it afterwards.
Simplify this process by adding new items at the bottom instead,
getting rid of the reversal step.

If a commit-ish passed to cherry-pick or revert happens to have a file
of the same name, git complains that the argument is ambiguous and
advises to use '--'. To make things worse, the '--' argument is removed
by parse_options, und so passing '--' has no effect.

Instead, always interpret cherry-pick/revert arguments as revisions.

Speed up prepare_revision_walk() by adding commits without sorting
to the commit_list and at the end sort the list in one go.  Thanks
to mergesort() working behind the scenes, this is a lot faster for
large numbers of commits than the current insert sort.

Also introduce and use commit_list_reverse(), to keep the ordering
of commits sharing the same commit date unchanged.  That's because
commit_list_insert_by_date() sorts commits with descending date,
but adds later entries with the same date entries last, while
commit_list_insert() always inserts entries at the top.  The
following commit_list_sort_by_date() keeps the order of entries
sharing the same date.

Jeff's test case, in a repo with lots of refs, was to run:

  # make a new commit on top of HEAD, but not yet referenced
  sha1=`git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -p HEAD </dev/null`

  # now do the same "connected" test that receive-pack would do
  git rev-list --objects $sha1 --not --all

With a git.git with a ref for each revision, master needs (best of
five):

	real	0m2.210s
	user	0m2.188s
	sys	0m0.016s

And with this patch:

	real	0m0.480s

Previously it was not possible to iterate revisions twice using the
revision walking api. We add a reset_revision_walk() which clears the
used flags. This allows us to do multiple sequencial revision walks.

We add the appropriate calls to the existing submodule machinery doing
revision walks. This is done to avoid surprises if future code wants to
call these functions more than once during the processes lifetime.

"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the
codebase that touched the <string>. As it was designed to be used by a
porcelain script to dig the history starting from a block of text that
appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an
exact match.

When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that
removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers,
however, it is useful to support case insensitive match.

When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally
was designed to affect case sensitivity of the search done in the commit
log part, e.g. "log --grep", the matches made with -S/-G pickaxe search is
done case insensitively now.

Before the grep_source interface existed, grep_buffer was
used by two types of callers:

  1. Ones which pulled a file into a buffer, and then wanted
     to supply the file's name for the output (i.e.,
     git grep).

  2. Ones which really just wanted to grep a buffer (i.e.,
     git log --grep).

Callers in set (1) should now be using grep_source. Callers
in set (2) always pass NULL for the "name" parameter of
grep_buffer. We can therefore get rid of this now-useless
parameter.

In a topic branch workflow, you often want to find the latest commit that
merged a side branch that touched a particular area of the system, so that
a new topic branch to work on that area can be forked from that commit.
For example, I wanted to find an appropriate fork-point to queue Luke's
changes related to git-p4 in contrib/fast-import/.

"git log --first-parent" traverses the first-parent chain, and "-m --stat"
shows the list of paths touched by commits including merge commits.  We
could ask the question this way:

    # What is the latest commit that touched that path?
    $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat master |
      sed -e '/^ contrib\/fast-import\/git-p4 /q' | tail

The above finds that 8cbfc118 (Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates',
2012-01-06) was such a commit.

But a more natural way to spell this question is this:

    $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat -1 master -- \
      contrib/fast-import/git-p4

Unfortunately, this does not work. It finds ecb7cf98 (git-p4: rewrite view
handling, 2012-01-02). This commit is a part of the merged topic branch
and is _not_ on the first-parent path from the 'master':

    $ git show-branch 8cbfc118 ecb7cf98
    ! [8cbfc118] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
     ! [ecb7cf98] git-p4: rewrite view handling
    --
    -  [8cbfc118] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates'
    +  [8cbfc118^2] git-p4: view spec documentation
    ++ [ecb7cf98] git-p4: rewrite view handling

The problem is caused by the merge simplification logic when it inspects
the merge commit 8cbfc118. In this case, the history leading to the tip of
'master' did not touch git-p4 since 'pw/p4-view-updates' topic forked, and
the result of the merge is simply a copy from the tip of the topic branch
in the view limited by the given pathspec.  The merge simplification logic
discards the history on the mainline side of the merge, and pretends as if
the sole parent of the merge is its second parent, i.e. the tip of the
topic. While this simplification is correct in the general case, it is at
least surprising if not outright wrong when the user explicitly asked to
show the first-parent history.

Here is an attempt to fix this issue, by not allowing us to compare the
merge result with anything but the first parent when --first-parent is in
effect, to avoid the history traversal veering off to the side branch.

Often we want to verify everything reachable from a given set of commits
are present in our repository and connected without a gap to the tips of
our refs. We used to do this for this purpose:

    $ rev-list --objects $commits_to_be_tested --not --all

Even though this is good enough for catching missing commits and trees,
we show the object name but do not verify their existence, let alone their
well-formedness, for the blob objects at the leaf level.

Add a new "--verify-object" option so that we can catch missing and broken

Given a complex set of revision specifiers on the command line, it is too
late to look at the flags of the objects in the initial traversal list at
the beginning of limit_list() in order to determine what the objects the
end-user explicitly listed on the command line were. The process to move
objects from the pending array to the traversal list may have marked
objects that are not mentioned as UNINTERESTING, when handle_commit()
marked the parents of UNINTERESTING commits mentioned on the command line
by calling mark_parents_uninteresting().

This made "rev-list --ancestry-path ^A ..." to mistakenly list commits
that are descendants of A's parents but that are not descendants of A
itself, as ^A from the command line causes A and its parents marked as
UNINTERESTING before coming to limit_list(), and we try to enumerate the
commits that are descendants of these commits that are UNINTERESTING
before we start walking the history.

It actually is too late even if we inspected the pending object array
before calling prepare_revision_walk(), as some of the same objects might
have been mentioned twice, once as positive and another time as negative.
The "rev-list --some-option A --not --all" command may want to notice,
even if the resulting set is empty, that the user showed some interest in
"A" and do something special about it.

Prepare a separate array to keep track of what syntactic element was used
to cause each object to appear in the pending array from the command line,
and populate it as setup_revisions() parses the command line.

 2. pseudo-options that must be parsed in order with their revision

commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).

In particular:

  --min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
  --max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
  --min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges

Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
