"git blame --porcelain" misidentified the "previous" <commit, path>
pair (aka "source") when contents came from two or more files.
* jk/blame-fixes:
blame: output porcelain "previous" header for each file
blame: handle --no-abbrev
blame: fix alignment with --abbrev=40
It's possible for content currently found in one file to
have originated in two separate files, each of which may
have been modified in some single older commit. The
--porcelain output generates an incorrect "previous" header
in this case, whereas --line-porcelain gets it right. The
problem is that the porcelain output tries to omit repeated
details of commits, and treats "previous" as a property of
the commit, when it is really a property of the blamed block
of lines.
Let's look at an example. In a case like this, you might see
this output from --line-porcelain:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_two
filename file_two
...some different content....
The "filename" fields tell us that the two lines are from
two different files. But notice that the filename also
appears in the "previous" field, which tells us where to
start a re-blame. The second content line never appeared in
file_one at all, so we would obviously need to re-blame from
file_two (or possibly even some other file, if had just been
renamed to file_two in SOME_SHA1).
So far so good. Now here's what --porcelain looks like:
SOME_SHA1 1 1 1
author ...
committer ...
previous SOME_SHA1^ file_one
filename file_one
...some line content...
SOME_SHA1 2 1 1
filename file_two
...some different content....
We've dropped the author and committer fields from the
second line, as they would just be repeats. But we can't
omit "filename", because it depends on the actual block of
blamed lines, not just the commit. This is handled by
emit_porcelain_details(), which will show the filename
either if it is the first mention of the commit _or_ if the
commit has multiple paths in it.
But we don't give "previous" the same handling. It's written
inside emit_one_suspect_detail(), which bails early if we've
already seen that commit. And so the output above is wrong;
a reader would assume that the correct place to re-blame
line two is from file_one, but that's obviously nonsense.
Let's treat "previous" the same as "filename", and show it
fresh whenever we know we are in a confusing case like this.

You can already ask blame for full sha1s with "-l" or with
"--abbrev=40". But for consistency with other parts of Git,
we should support "--no-abbrev".
Worse, blame already accepts --no-abbrev, but it's totally
broken. When we see --no-abbrev, the abbrev variable is set
to 0, which is then used as a printf precision. For regular
sha1s, that means we print nothing at all (which is very
wrong). For boundary commits we decrement it to "-1", which
printf interprets as "no limit" (which is almost correct,
except it misses the 39-length magic explained in the
previous commit).
Let's detect --no-abbrev and behave as if --abbrev=40 was
given.

The blame command internally adds 1 to any requested sha1
abbreviation length, and then subtracts it when outputting a
boundary commit. This lets regular and boundary sha1s line
up visually, but it misses one corner case.
When the requested length is 40, we bump the value to 41.
But since we only have 40 characters, that's all we can show
(fortunately the truncation is done by a printf precision
field, so it never tries to read past the end of the
buffer). So a normal sha1 shows 40 hex characters, and a
boundary sha1 shows "^" plus 40 hex characters. The result
is misaligned.
The "-l" option to show long sha1s gets around this by
skipping the "abbrev" variable entirely and just always
using GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This avoids the "+1" issue, but it
does mean that boundary commits only have 39 characters
printed. This is somewhat odd, but it does look good
visually: the results are aligned and left-justified. The
alternative would be to allocate an extra column that would
contain either an extra space or the "^" boundary marker.
As this is by definition the human-readable view, it's
probably not that big a deal either way (and of course
--porcelain, etc, correctly produce correct 40-hex sha1s).
But for consistency, this patch teaches --abbrev=40 to
produce the same output as "-l" (always left-aligned, with
40-hex for normal sha1s, and "^" plus 39-hex for
boundaries).

When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

Since 3b75ee9 ("blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index",
2016-07-16) git blame also looks at the index to determine if there is a
file that was freshly added to the index.
cache_name_pos returns -pos - 1 in case there is no match is found, or
if the name matches, but the entry has a stage other than 0. As git
blame should work for unmerged files, it uses strcmp to determine
whether the name of the returned position matches, in which case the
file exists, but is merely unmerged, or if the file actually doesn't
exist in the index.
If the repository is empty, or if the file would lexicographically be
sorted as the last file in the repository, -cache_name_pos - 1 is
outside of the length of the active_cache array, causing git blame to
segfault. Guard against that, and die() normally to restore the old
behaviour.

"git blame file" allowed the lineage of lines in the uncommitted,

When blaming files, changes in the work tree are taken into account
and displayed as being "Not Committed Yet".
However, when blaming a file that is not known to the current HEAD,
git blame fails with `no such path 'foo' in HEAD`, even when the file
was git add'ed.
Allowing such a blame is useful when the new file added to the index
(not yet committed) was created by renaming an existing file. It
also is useful when the new file was created from pieces already in

There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.
Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.
This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

There's no need for these option variables to be static,

unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other

Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize

Commit 1b0d400 refactored the prepare_final() function so
that it could be reused in multiple places. Originally, the
loop had two outputs: a commit to stuff into sb->final, and
the name of the commit from the rev->pending array.
After the refactor, that loop is put in its own function
with a single return value: the object_array_entry from the
rev->pending array. This contains both the name and the object,
but with one important difference: the object is the
_original_ object found by the revision parser, not the
dereferenced commit. If one feeds a tag to "git blame", we
end up casting the tag object to a "struct commit", which
causes a segfault.
Instead, let's return the commit (properly casted) directly
from the function, and take the "name" as an optional
out-parameter. This does the right thing, and actually
simplifies the callers, who no longer need to cast or
dereference the object_array_entry themselves.
