When HEAD is detached, --all should list it, too, logically, as a
detached HEAD is by definition a temporary, unnamed branch.

It is especially necessary to list it when garbage collecting, as
the detached HEAD would be trashed.

Noticed by Thomas Rast.

Note that this affects creating bundles with --all; I contend that it
is a good change to add the HEAD, so that cloning from such a bundle
will give you a current branch.  However, I had to fix t5701 as it
assumed that --all does not imply HEAD.

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.

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.

Commands which use parse_options() but also call setup_revisions()
must do their parsing in a two step process:

  1. first, they parse all options. Anything unknown goes to
     parse_revision_opt() (which calls handle_revision_opt), which
     may claim the option or say "I don't recognize this"

  2. the non-option remainder goes to setup_revisions() to
     actually get turned into revisions

Some revision options are "non-options" in that they must be
parsed in order with their revision counterparts in
setup_revisions().  For example, "--all" functions as a
pseudo-option expanding to all refs, and "--no-walk" affects refs
after it on the command line, but not before. The revision option
parser in step 1 recognizes such options and sets them aside for
later parsing by setup_revisions().

However, the return value used from handle_revision_opt indicated
"I didn't recognize this", which was wrong. It did, and it took
appropriate action (even though that action was just deferring it
for later parsing). Thus it should return "yes, I recognized
this."

Previously, these pseudo-options generated an error when used with
parse_options parsers (currently just blame and shortlog). With
this patch, they should work fine, enabling things like "git
shortlog --all".

Add two fields to struct rev_info:

 - .show_merge 1-bit field.

handle_revision_opt() is able to deal with any revision option, and
consumes them, and leaves revision arguments or pseudo arguments
(like --all, --not, ...) in place.

For now setup_revisions() does a pass of handle_revision_opt() again
so that code not using it in a parse-opt parser still work the same.

The purpose of --first-parent is to view the tree without looking at

The current code marks the other parents as seen, which means that the tree
traversal will behave differently depending on the order merges are handled.

When a fast forward is artificially recorded as a merge,

       -----

This attached patch introduces a single bit "use_terminator" in "struct
rev_info", which is normally false (i.e. most formats use separator
semantics) but by flipping it to true, you can ask for terminator
semantics just like oneline format does.

The function get_commit_format(), which is what parses "--pretty=" option,
now takes a pointer to "struct rev_info" and updates its commit_format and
use_terminator fields.  It used to return the value of type "enum
cmit_fmt", but all the callers assigned it to rev->commit_format.

There are only two cases the code turns use_terminator on.  Obviously, the
traditional oneline format (--pretty=oneline) is one of them, and the new
case is --pretty=tformat:... that acts like --pretty=format:... but flips
the bit on.

With this, "--pretty=tformat:%H %s" acts like --pretty=oneline.

The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen
enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused
if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits.

This makes the logic a bit more robust by

 - we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we
   decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is
   entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at
   all)

 - we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the
   destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen
   so far)

 - we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source
   list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want
   to look at the source.

which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

It's really not very easy to visualize the commit walker, because - on
purpose - it obvously doesn't show the uninteresting commits!

This adds a "--show-all" flag to the revision walker, which will make
it show uninteresting commits too, and they'll have a '^' in front of
them (it also fixes a logic error for !verbose_header for boundary
commits - we should show the '-' even if left_right isn't shown).

A separate patch to gitk to teach it the new '^' was sent
to paulus.  With the change in place, it actually is interesting
even for the cases that git doesn't have any problems with, ie
for the kernel you can do:

	gitk -d --show-all v2.6.24..

and you see just how far down it has to parse things to see it all. The
use of "-d" is a good idea, since the date-ordered toposort is much better
at showing why it goes deep down (ie the date of some of those commits
after 2.6.24 is much older, because they were merged from trees that
weren't rebased).

So I think this is a useful feature even for non-debugging - just to
visualize what git does internally more.

When it actually breaks out due to the "everybody_uninteresting()"
case, it adds the uninteresting commits (both the one it's looking at
now, and the list of pending ones) to the list

This way, we really list *all* the commits we've looked at.

Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed
at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits
that don't have a commit buffer entry.

That second part is debatable just how it should work. Maybe we shouldn't
show such entries at all (with this patch those entries do get shown, they
just don't get any message shown with them). But I think this is a useful
case.

This adds --relative option to the diff family.  When you start
from a subdirectory:

        $ git diff --relative

shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part.  People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.

There are a few things I should also mention about the change:

 - This works not just with diff but also works with the log
   family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.

   In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:

        $ git log --relative -p

   but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
   touch the current directory.  You can limit it by giving
   pathspec yourself:

        $ git log --relative -p .

   This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
   have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
   independently.  IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
   prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
   but show the changes with full context.  I think it makes
   more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
   the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
   subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.

 - Because this works also with the log family, you could
   format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
   subdirectory, like so:

        $ cd gitk-git
        $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb

   But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
   never become the default, with or without repository or user
   preference configuration.  The risk of producing a partial
   patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
   so.

 - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
   bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
   itself.  I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
   combined use of the options, but probably I should.

We cannot tell a node that has been checked and found not to be
interesting (which does not have the TREECHANGE flag) from a
node that hasn't been checked if it is interesting or not,
without relying on something else, such as object->parsed.

But an object can get the "parsed" flag for other reasons.
Which means that "TREECHANGE" has the wrong polarity.

This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an
uninteresting commits.  From now on, we consider a commit
interesting by default, and explicitly mark the ones we decided
to prune.  The flag is renamed to "TREESAME".

Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with
incomplete pruning.  It basically says "a commit that has
TREESAME set is kind-of-UNINTERESTING", but obviously in a
different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit.  Until we
parse and examine enough parents to determine if a commit
becomes surely "kind-of-UNINTERESTING", we avoid rewriting
the ancestry so that later rounds can fix things up.

This removes the unnecessary indirection of "revs->prune_fn",

It then just replaces it with a bit that says "prune or not",
and if not pruning, every commit gets TREECHANGE.

That in turn means that

 - if (!revs->prune_fn || (flags & TREECHANGE))
 - if (revs->prune_fn && !(flags & TREECHANGE))

just become

 - if (flags & TREECHANGE)
 - if (!(flags & TREECHANGE))

respectively.

Together with adding the "single_parent()" helper function, the "complex"
conditional now becomes

	if (!(flags & TREECHANGE) && rev->dense && single_parent(commit))

This makes --early-output a bit more advanced, and actually makes it
generate multiple "Final output:" headers as it updates things
asynchronously. I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical,
since it's not really final until it also says "done", but

It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit
list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of
commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be
completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant
to be exact.

So what happens is that you may get output like this:

 - at 0.1 seconds:

	Final output: 2 incomplete
	.. 2 commits listed ..

 - half a second later:

	Final output: 33 incomplete
	.. 33 commits listed ..

 - another half a second after that:

	Final output: 71 incomplete
	.. 71 commits listed ..

 - another half second later:

	Final output: 136 incomplete
	.. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and
	.. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not
	.. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much
	.. early output as you asked for!

 - .. and then finally:

	Final output: 73106 done
	.. all the commits ..

The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having
flushed all the caches.
