959ba670ad commit: discard index after setting up partial commit
There may still be some entries from the original index that
should be discarded before we show the status. In
particular, if a file was added in the index but not
included in the partial commit, it would still show up in
the status listing as staged for commit.

Ultimately the correct fix is to keep the two states in
separate index_state variables. Then we can avoid having
to reload the cache from the temporary file altogether, and
just point wt_status_print at the correct index.

1fe32cb9d0 filter-branch: handle filenames that need quoting
The command used a very old fashioned construct to extract
filenames out of diff-index and ended up corrupting the output.
We can simply use --name-only and pipe into --stdin mode of
update-index.  It's been like that for the past 2 years or so
since a94d994 (update-index: work with c-quoted name).

ea5105a5e3 config: add 'git_config_string' to refactor string config variables.
In many places we just check if a value from the config file is not
NULL, then we duplicate it and return 0. This patch introduces the new
'git_config_string' function to do that.

This function is also used to refactor some code in 'config.c'.
Refactoring other files is left for other patches.

Also not all the code in "config.c" is refactored, because the function
takes a "const char **" as its first parameter, but in many places a
"char *" is used instead of a "const char *". (And C does not allow
using a "char **" instead of a "const char **" without a warning.)

3131b71301 Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debugging
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.

cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
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.

75ad235c2e Revert "pack-objects: only throw away data during memory pressure"
This reverts commit 9c2174350c.

Nico analyzed and found out that this does not really help, and
I agree with it.

By the time this gets into action and data is actively thrown
away, performance simply goes down the drain due to the data
constantly being reloaded over and over and over and over and
over and over again, to the point of virtually making no
relative progress at all.  The previous behavior of enforcing
the memory limit by dynamically shrinking the window size at
least had the effect of allowing some kind of progress, even if
the end result wouldn't be optimal.

And that's the whole point behind this memory limiting feature:
allowing some progress to be made when resources are too limited
to let the repack go unbounded.

What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which
sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you
don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves.

What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often
hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a
very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that
such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another
patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_
subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a
couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in
themselves.

So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific
sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the
subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level
changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific
directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts
that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should
show up as under the more generic top-level directory.

This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either
something simple like

            x86: remove over noisy debug printk

            pageattr-test.c contains a noisy debug printk that people reported.
            The condition under which it prints (randomly tapping into a mem_map[]
            hole and not being able to c_p_a() there) is valid behavior and not
            interesting to report.

            Remove it.

            Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

	  20.5% crypto/
	   7.6% fs/afs/
	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  15.3% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

where that latter example is an example of significant work in some
individual fs/*/ subdirectories (like the patches to reiserfs accounting
for 7.6% of the whole), but then discounting those individual filesystems,
there's also 15.3% other "random" things that weren't worth reporting on
their oen left over under fs/ in general (either in that directory itself,
or in subdirectories of fs/ that didn't have enough changes to be reported
individually).

I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that
is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own.
So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se,
because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs,
7.6% of fuse etc.

If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the
"--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when
they have been already reported for a sub-directory.  That cumulative
output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from
a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to
the root.

For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes

	commit e231c2e...
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Thu Feb 7 00:15:26 2008 -0800

	    Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

	  20.5% crypto/
	   7.6% fs/afs/
	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  61.5% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

in which the commit percentages now obviously add up to much more than
100%: now the changes that were already reported for the sub-directories
under fs/ are then cumulatively included in the whole percentage of fs/
(ie now shows 61.5% as opposed to the 15.3% without the cumulative
reporting).

The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems
to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by
giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be
at 5% instead)

NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed,
not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not
generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we
don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count,
but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories).

Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me,
but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few
subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you
combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc.

But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out

        git log --dirstat

and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/,
gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like

        git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4

which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general,
the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and
doing a

        git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1

on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

95b002eeb3 git-gui: Automatically spell check commit messages as the user types
Many user friendly tools like word processors, email editors and web
browsers allow users to spell check the message they are writing
as they type it, making it easy to identify a common misspelling
of a word and correct it on the fly.

We now open a bi-directional pipe to Aspell and feed the message
text the user is editing off to the program about once every 300
milliseconds.  This is frequent enough that the user sees the results
almost immediately, but is not so frequent as to cause significant
additional load on the system.  If the user has modified the message
text during the last 300 milliseconds we delay until the next period,
ensuring that we avoid flooding the Aspell process with a lot of
text while the user is actively typing their message.

We wait to send the current message buffer to Aspell until the user
is at a word boundary, thus ensuring that we are not likely to ask
for misspelled word detection on a word that the user is actively
typing, as most words are misspelled when only partially typed,
even if the user has thus far typed it correctly.

Misspelled words are highlighted in red and are given an underline,
causing the word to stand out from the others in the buffer.  This is
a very common user interface idiom for displaying misspelled words,
but differs from one platform to the next in slight variations.
For example the Mac OS X system prefers using a dashed red underline,
leaving the word in the original text color.  Unfortunately the
control that Tk gives us over text display is not powerful enough
to handle such formatting so we have to work with the least common
denominator.

The top suggestions for a misspelling are saved in an array and
offered to the user when they right-click (or on the Mac ctrl-click)
a misspelled word.  Selecting an entry from this menu will replace
the misspelling with the correction shown.  Replacement is integrated
with the undo/redo stack so undoing a replacement will restore the
misspelled original text.

If Aspell could not be started during git-gui launch we silently eat
the error and run without spell checking support.  This way users
who do not have Aspell in their $PATH can continue to use git-gui,
although they will not get the advanced spelling functionality.

If Aspell started successfully the version line and language are
shown in git-gui's about box, below the Tcl/Tk versions.  This way
the user can verify the Aspell function has been activated.

If Aspell crashes while we are running we inform the user with an
error dialog and then disable Aspell entirely for the rest of this
git-gui session.  This prevents us from fork-bombing the system
with Aspell instances that always crash when presented with the
current message text, should there be a bug in either Aspell or in
git-gui's output to it.

We escape all input lines with ^, as recommended by the Aspell manual
page, as this allows Aspell to properly ignore any input line that is
otherwise looking like a command (e.g. ! to enable terse output).  By
using this escape however we need to correct all word offsets by -1 as
Aspell is apparently considering the ^ escape to be part of the line's
character count, but our Tk text widget obviously does not.

Available dictionaries are offered in the Options dialog, allowing
the user to select the language they want to spellcheck commit
messages with for the current repository, as well as the global
user setting that all repositories inherit.

Special thanks to Adam Flott for suggesting connecting git-gui
to Aspell for the purpose of spell checking the commit message,
and to Wincent Colaiuta for the idea to wait for a word boundary
before passing the message over for checking.
