Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

Similar to the command line arguments, after giving zero or more revs, you can
feed a line "--" and then feed pathspecs one at a time.

With this

	(
		echo ^maint
		echo --
		echo Documentation
	) | git log --stat --oneline --stdin master -- t

lists commits that touch Documentation/ or t/ between maint and master.

I personally use "git bisect visualize" all the time when I bisect, but it
turns out that that is not a very flexible model. Sometimes I want to do
bisection based on all commits (no pathname limiting), but then visualize
the current bisection tree with just a few pathnames because I _suspect_
those pathnames are involved in the problem but am not totally sure about
them.

And at other times, I want to use other revision parsing logic, none of
which is available with "git bisect visualize".

So this adds "--bisect" as a revision parsing argument, and as a result it
just works with all the normal logging tools. So now I can just do

	gitk --bisect --simplify-by-decoration filename-here

When we show a reflog, we have two ways of naming the entry:
by sequence number (e.g., HEAD@{0}) or by date (e.g.,
HEAD@{10 minutes ago}). There is no explicit option to set
one or the other, but we guess based on whether or not the
user has provided us with a date format, showing them the
date version if they have done so, and the sequence number
otherwise.

This usually made sense if the use did something like "git
log -g --date=relative". However, it didn't make much sense
if the user set the date format using the log.date config
variable; in that case, all of their reflogs would end up as
dates.

This patch records the source of the date format and only
triggers the date-based view if --date= was given on the
command line.

Previously, graph_is_interesting() did not behave quite the same way as
the code in get_revision().  As a result, it would sometimes think
commits were uninteresting, even though get_revision() would return
them.  This resulted in incorrect lines in the graph output.

This change creates a get_commit_action() function, which
graph_is_interesting() and simplify_commit() both now use to determine
if a commit will be shown.  It is identical to the old simplify_commit()
behavior, except that it never calls rewrite_parents().

This problem was reported by Santi Béjar.  The following command
would exhibit the problem before, but now works correctly:

For some reason, I ended up doing

	git show HEAD~5..

as an odd way of asking for a log. I realize I should just have used "git
log", but at the same time it does make perfect conceptual sense. After
all, you _could_ have done

	git show HEAD HEAD~1 HEAD~2 HEAD~3 HEAD~4

and saying "git show HEAD~5.." is pretty natural. It's not like "git show"
only ever showed a single commit (or other object) before either! So
conceptually, giving a commit range is a very sensible operation, even
though you'd traditionally have used "git log" for that.

However, doing that currently results in an error

	fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions

which admittedly _also_ makes perfect sense - from an internal git
implementation standpoint in 'revision.c'.

However, I think that asking to show a range makes sense to a user, while
saying "object ranges no not make sense when not walking revisions" only
makes sense to a git developer.

So on the whole, of the two different "makes perfect sense" behaviors, I
think I originally picked the wrong one. And quite frankly, I don't really
see anybody actually _depending_ on that error case. So why not change it?

So rather than error out, just turn that non-walking error case into a
"silently turn on walking" instead.

I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie

	git rev-list --parents HEAD |
		grep ' .* ' |
		git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
		less -S

will do it.

But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.

So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a

	git log --merges --pretty=oneline

which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg

	git shortlog -ns --merges

does exactly what you'd want it to do.

This simplifies the logic of rev_compare_tree() by removing a special
case.

It does so by turning the special case of finding a diff to be "all new
files" into a more generic case of "all new" vs "all removed" vs "mixed
changes", so now the code is actually more powerful and more generic, and
the added symmetry actually makes it simpler too.

This makes no changes to any existing behavior, but apart from the
simplification it does make it possible to some day care about whether all

In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow

 - more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
   the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
   calling path_name())

 - not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
   name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
   linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.

Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.

Why? We use that name for two things:
 - add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
   path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
 - for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
   name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
   work.

Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.

This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
straightforward "name = path_name(path, component); .. free(name);" thing.

Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.

I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.

Now, there are possible downsides to this:

 - the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
   better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
   one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..

 - this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
   "process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
   over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
   list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
   then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
   object together with the objects we discover under it)

   I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
   ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
   efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
   packing. Good or bad, I dunno.

 - There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
   array, that I have simply forgotten.

Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.

This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...

Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.

Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

cc0e6c5a (Handle return code of parse_commit in revision machinery,
2007-05-04) attempted to tighten error checking in the revision machinery,
but it wasn't enough.  When get_revision_1() was asked for the next commit
to return, it tries to read and simplify the parents of the commit to be
returned, but an error while doing so was silently ignored and reported as
a truncated history to the caller instead.

This resulted in an early end of "git log" output or a pack that lacks
older commits from "git pack-objects", without any error indication in the
exit status from these commands, even though the underlying parse_commit()
issues an error message to the end user.

Note that the codepath in add_parents_list() that paints parents of an
UNINTERESTING commit UNINTERESTING silently ignores the error when
parse_commit() fails; this is deliberate and in line with aeeae1b7
(revision traversal: allow UNINTERESTING objects to be missing,

in the revision traversal machinery, that cared:

 - When a tag refers to an object that we do not have, we barfed.  We
   ignore such a tag if it is painted as UNINTERESTING with this change.

 - When digging deeper into the ancestry chain of a commit that is already
   painted as UNINTERESTING, in order to paint its parents UNINTERESTING,
   we barfed if parse_parent() for a parent commit object failed.  We can
   ignore such a parent commit object.

When HEAD is detached, --all should list it, too, logically, as a

We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to

we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.

We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.

Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is

When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation
tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was
enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the
search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR").

This had a few problems:

 * When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"),
   the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything;

 * To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the
   generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the
   commit header lines have.  Also, in order to determine if the '$' at
   the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar
   sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp
   ourselves.

An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author "
(to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time.
While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for
matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail
match problem.  It also would have matched every commit if --author=author
was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but
because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with
that field name, regardleses of who wrote it.

Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep
machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes
sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line,
followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the
remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

--reverse did not interact well with --parents, as the included test
case shows: in a history like

the command

This is caused by the machinery driving --reverse: it first grabs all
commits through the normal routines, then runs them through the same
routines again, effectively simplifying them twice.

Fix this by moving the --reverse one level up, into get_revision().

This has been broken in v1.6.0 due to the reorganization of
the revision option parsing code. The "-i" is completely
ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i".

What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for
revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there
are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct,
since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing
it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the
existing grep_filter option.

Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and
just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means
that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but
instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any
actual patterns.

The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec.  This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:

        A---M---o
       /   /
   ---O---B

even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths.  The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.

The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in.  --full-history reduces the
topology to:

   ---O---M---o

in such a case, without removing M.

This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.

The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history.  The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:

 * In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
   the commit we are looking at.  The commit we are looking at is
   rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
   parents.  While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
   rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
   removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.

 * After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
   an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
   interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself.  In
   other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.

The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction.  We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten.  This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).
