When using git log --pretty='%N' without an explicit --show-notes, git
would segfault. This patches fixes this behaviour by loading the needed
notes datastructures if --pretty is used and the format contains %N.
When --pretty='%N' is used together with --no-notes, %N won't be
expanded.
This is an extension to a proposed patch by Jeff King.

There is really no reason why only commit objects can be annotated. By
changing the struct commit parameter to get_commit_notes() into a sha1 we
gain the ability to annotate any object type. To reflect this in the function
naming as well, we rename get_commit_notes() to format_note().
This patch also fixes comments and variable names throughout notes.c as a
consequence of the removal of the unnecessary 'commit' restriction.

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.

I always considered line wrapping to be more similar to a colour, i.e. a
state that one can change and that is applied to all following text until
the next state change, except that it's always reset at the end of the

Add three new --pretty=format escapes:
%gD long reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
%gd short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
%gs reflog message
This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.
We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref. The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0. Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.
Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog. This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites. Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.
The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.
We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

Commit notes are blobs which are shown together with the commit
message. These blobs are taken from the notes ref, which you can
configure by the config variable core.notesRef, which in turn can
be overridden by the environment variable GIT_NOTES_REF.
The notes ref is a branch which contains "files" whose names are
the names of the corresponding commits (i.e. the SHA-1).
The rationale for putting this information into a ref is this: we
want to be able to fetch and possibly union-merge the notes,
maybe even look at the date when a note was introduced, and we
want to store them efficiently together with the other objects.
This patch has been improved by the following contributions:

This teaches the "pretty" machinery to expand '%+x' to a LF followed by
the expansion of '%x' if and only if '%x' expands to a non-empty string,
and to remove LFs before '%-x' if '%x' expands to an empty string. This
works for any supported expansion placeholder 'x'.
This is expected to be immediately useful to reproduce the commit log
message with "%s%+b%n"; "%s%n%b%n" adds one extra LF if the log message is
a one-liner.

Currently git-blame outputs text from the commit messages
(e.g. the author name and the summary string) as-is, without
even providing any information about the encoding used for
the data. It makes interpreting the data in multilingual
environment very difficult.
This commit changes the blame implementation to recode the
messages using the rules used by other commands like git-log.
Namely, the target encoding can be specified through the
i18n.commitEncoding or i18n.logOutputEncoding options, or
directly on the command line using the --encoding parameter.
Converting the encoding before output seems to be more
friendly to the porcelain tools than simply providing the
value of the encoding header, and does not require changing
the output format.
If anybody needs the old behavior, it is possible to
achieve it by specifying --encoding=none.

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.

Earlier, the callchain from pretty_print_commit() down to pp_title_line()
had an unwarranted assumption that the presense of "after_subject"
parameter, means the caller has already output MIME headers for
attachments. The parameter's primary purpose is to give extra header
lines the caller wants to place after pp_title_line() generates the
"Subject: " line.
This assumption does not hold when the user used the format.header
configuration variable to pass extra headers, and caused a message with
non-ASCII character to lack proper MIME headers (e.g. 8-bit CTE header).
The earlier logic also failed to suppress duplicated MIME headers when
"format-patch -s --attach" is asked for and the signer's name demanded
8-bit clean transport.
This patch fixes the logic by introducing a separate need_8bit_cte
parameter passed down the callchain. This can have one of these values:
-1 : we've already done MIME crap and we do not want to add extra header
to say this is 8bit in pp_title_line();
0 : we haven't done MIME and we have not seen anything that is 8bit yet;
1 : we haven't done MIME and we have seen something that is 8bit;
pp_title_line() must add MIME header.
It adds two tests by Jeff King who independently diagnosed this issue.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

As Jeff King remarked, format strings with duplicate placeholders can
be slow to expand, because each instance is calculated anew.
This patch makes use of the fact that format_commit_message() and its
helper functions only ever add stuff to the end of the strbuf. For
certain expensive placeholders, store the offset and length of their
expansion with the strbuf at the first occurrence. Later they
expansion result can simply be copied from there -- no malloc() or
strdup() required.
These certain placeholders are the abbreviated commit, tree and
parent hashes, as the search for a unique abbreviated hash is quite
costly. Here are the times for next (best of three runs):
$ time git log --pretty=format:%h >/dev/null
real 0m0.611s
user 0m0.404s
sys 0m0.204s
$ time git log --pretty=format:%h%h%h%h >/dev/null
real 0m1.206s
user 0m0.744s
sys 0m0.452s
And here those with this patch (and the previous two); the speedup
of the single placeholder case is just noise:
$ time git log --pretty=format:%h >/dev/null
real 0m0.608s
user 0m0.416s
sys 0m0.192s
$ time git log --pretty=format:%h%h%h%h >/dev/null

As Jeff King pointed out, some placeholder expansions are related to
each other: the steps to calculate one go most of the way towards
calculating the other, too.
This patch makes format_commit_message() parse the commit message
only once, remembering the position of each item. This speeds up
handling of format strings containing multiple placeholders from the
set %s, %a*, %c*, %e, %b.
Here are the timings for the git version in next. The first one is
to estimate the overhead of the caching, the second one is taken
from http://svn.tue.mpg.de/tentakel/trunk/tentakel/Makefile as an
example of a format string found in the wild. The times are the
fastest of three consecutive runs in each case:
$ time git log --pretty=format:%e >/dev/null
real 0m0.381s
user 0m0.340s
sys 0m0.024s
$ time git log --pretty=format:"* %cd %cn%n%n%s%n%b" >/dev/null
real 0m0.623s
user 0m0.556s
sys 0m0.052s
And here the times with this patch:
$ time git log --pretty=format:%e >/dev/null
real 0m0.385s
user 0m0.332s
sys 0m0.040s
$ time git log --pretty=format:"* %cd %cn%n%n%s%n%b" >/dev/null

Some of the --pretty=format placeholders expansions are expensive to
calculate. This is made worse by the current code's use of
interpolate(), which requires _all_ placeholders are to be prepared
up front.
One way to speed this up is to check which placeholders are present
in the format string and to prepare only the expansions that are
needed. That still leaves the allocation overhead of interpolate().
Another way is to use a callback based approach together with the
strbuf library to keep allocations to a minimum and avoid string
copies. That's what this patch does. It introduces a new strbuf
function, strbuf_expand().
The function takes a format string, list of placeholder strings,
a user supplied function 'fn', and an opaque pointer 'context'
to tell 'fn' what thingy to operate on.
The function 'fn' is expected to accept a strbuf, a parsed
placeholder string and the 'context' pointer, and append the
interpolated value for the 'context' thingy, according to the
format specified by the placeholder.
Thanks to Pierre Habouzit for his suggestion to use strchrnul() and
the code surrounding its callsite. And thanks to Junio for most of
this commit message. :)
Here my measurements of most of Paul Mackerras' test cases that
highlighted the performance problem (best of three runs):

The file commit.c got quite large, but it does not have to be: the
code concerning pretty printing is pretty well contained. In fact,
this commit just splits it off into pretty.c, leaving commit.c with
just 672 lines.
