3a4c1a5e21 Add --format that is a synonym to --pretty
Some people prefer to call the pretty-print styles "format", and get
annoyed to see "git log --format=short" fail.  Introduce it as a synonym
to --pretty so that both can be used.

7dff9b30ea Support 'raw' date format
Talking about --date, one thing I wanted for the 1234567890 date was to
get things in the raw format. Sure, you get them with --pretty=raw, but it
felt a bit sad that you couldn't just ask for the date in raw format.

So here's a throw-away patch (meaning: I won't be re-sending it, because I
really don't think it's a big deal) to add "--date=raw". It just prints
out the internal raw git format - seconds since epoch plus timezone (put
another way: 'date +"%s %z"' format)

7d233dea5f gitweb: Hyperlink multiple git hashes on the same commit message line
The current implementation only hyperlinks the first hash on
a given line of the commit message.  It seems sensible to
highlight all of them if there are multiple, and it seems
plausible that there would be multiple even with a tidy line
length limit, because they can be abbreviated as short as 8
characters.

Benchmark:

I wanted to make sure that using the 'e' switch to the Perl regex
wasn't going to kill performance, since this is called once per commit
message line displayed.

In all three A/B scenarios I tried, the A and B yielded the same
results within 2%, where A is the version of code before this patch
and B is the version after.

1: View a commit message containing the last 1000 commit hashes
2: View a commit message containing 1000 lines of 40 dots to avoid
   hyperlinking at the same message length
3: View a short merge commit message with a few lines of text and
   no hashes

All were run in CGI mode on my sub-production hardware on a recent
clone of git.git.  Numbers are the average of 10 reqests per second
with the first request discarded, since I expect this change to affect
primarily CPU usage.  Measured with ApacheBench.

Note that the web page rendered was the same; while the new code
supports multiple hashes per line, there was at most one per line.

The primary purpose of scenarios 2 and 3 were to verify that the
addition of 1000 commit messages had an impact on how much of the time
was spent rendering commit messages.  They were all within 2% of 0.80
requests per second (much faster).

So I think the patch has no noticeable effect on performance.

024aa7d8d5 system_path(): simplify using strip_path_suffix(), and add suffix "git"
At least for the author of this patch, the logic in system_path() was
too hard to understand.  Using the function strip_path_suffix() documents
the idea of the code better.

The real change is to add the suffix "git", so that a runtime prefix will
be computed correctly even when the executable was called in /git/ as is
the case in msysGit (Windows insists to search the current directory
before the PATH when looking for an executable).

4fcc86b07d Introduce the function strip_path_suffix()
The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from
a given path.  The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core"
is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is).

Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical.

Example:

	strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core",
		"libexec///git-core", &prefix)

will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

d61027b21f Skip timestamp differences for diff --no-index
We display empty diffs for files whose timestamps have changed.
Usually, refreshing the index makes those empty diffs go away.
However, when not using the index they are not very useful and
there is no option to suppress them.

This forces on the skip_stat_unmatch option for diff --no-index,
suppressing any empty diffs. This option is also used for diffs
against the index when "diff.autorefreshindex" is set, but that
option does not apply to diff --no-index.

The parse_svn_date sub expects there always are one or more digits after
the decimal point to record fractional seconds, but this example does not
and results in a failure like this.

The fix is based on the original fix by the reporter, further cleaned up.

df5d10a32e gitweb: Fix warnings with override permitted but no repo override
When a feature like "blame" is permitted to be overridden in the
repository configuration but it is not actually set in the repository,
a warning is emitted due to the undefined value of the repository
configuration, even though it's a perfectly normal condition.
Emitting warning is grounds for test failure in the gitweb test
script.

This error was caused by rewrite of git_get_project_config from using
"git config [<type>] <name>" for each individual configuration
variable checked to parsing "git config --list --null" output in
commit b201927 (gitweb: Read repo config using 'git config -z -l').
Earlier version of git_get_project_config was returning empty string
if variable do not exist in config; newer version is meant to return
undef in this case, therefore change in feature_bool was needed.

Additionally config_to_* subroutines were meant to be invoked only if
configuration variable exists; therefore we added early return to
git_get_project_config: it now returns no value if variable does not
exists in config.  Otherwise config_to_* subroutines (config_to_bool
in paryicular) wouldn't be able to distinguish between the case where
variable does not exist and the case where variable doesn't have value
(the "[section] noval" case, which evaluates to true for boolean).

While at it fix bug in config_to_bool, where checking if $val is
defined (if config variable has value) was done _after_ stripping
leading and trailing whitespace, which lead to 'Use of uninitialized
value' warning.

Add test case for features overridable but not overriden in repo
config, and case for no value boolean configuration variable.

81d3fe9f48 gitweb: fix wrong base URL when non-root DirectoryIndex
CGI::url() has some issues when rebuilding the script URL if the script
is a DirectoryIndex.

One of these issue is the inability to strip PATH_INFO, which is why
we had to do it ourselves.

Another issue is that the resulting URL cannot be used for the <base>
tag: it works if we're the DirectoryIndex at the root level, but not
otherwise.

We fix this by building the proper base URL ourselves, and improve the
comment about the need to strip PATH_INFO manually while we're at it.

Additionally t/t9500-gitweb-standalone-no-errors.sh had to be modified
to set SCRIPT_NAME variable (CGI standard states that it MUST be set,
and now gitweb uses it if PATH_INFO is not empty, as is the case for
some of tests in t9500).

dfab7c144e use a hash of the lock token as the suffix for PUT/MOVE
After 753bc91 ("Remove the requirement opaquelocktoken uri scheme"),
lock tokens are in the URI forms in which they are received from the
server, eg. 'opaquelocktoken:', 'urn:uuid:'.

However, "start_put" (and consequently "start_move"), which attempts to
create a unique temporary file using the UUID of the lock token,
inadvertently uses the lock token in its URI form. These file
operations on the server may not be successful (specifically, in
Windows), due to the colon ':' character from the URI form of the lock
token in the file path.

This patch uses a hash of the lock token instead, guaranteeing only
"safe" characters (a-f, 0-9) are used in the file path.

The token's hash is generated when the lock token is received from the
server in handle_new_lock_ctx, minimizing the number of times of
hashing.

8fb3c00d2e Move 'rev-parse --git-dir' test to t1500
Commit 72183cb2 (Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of
gitdir, 2009-01-16) added a test to 't1501-worktree' to check the
behaviour of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' in a special case.  However,
t1501 is about testing separate work tree setups, and not about basic
'rev-parse' functionality, which is tested in t1500-rev-parse.
Therefore, this patch moves that test to t1500.

d0268de6d7 Documentation: pruning recipe for destructive filter-branch
Add a section about how to shrink a repository's size after running
git-filter-branch to remove large blobs from history.

This comes up every week or so on IRC, and the commands required to
handle every case are not very newbie-friendly, so hopefully writing
them down somewhere leads to fewer questions.

It may seem contradictory to document fallbacks for older Gits in
newer docs, but we want to point people at this as a FAQ answer, and
they will frequently not have the newest version installed.

Thanks to Björn Steinbrink and Junio C Hamano for comments and
corrections.

58e9d9d472 gc: make --prune useful again by accepting an optional parameter
With this patch, "git gc --no-prune" will not prune any loose (and
dangling) object, and "git gc --prune=5.minutes.ago" will prune
all loose objects older than 5 minutes.

This patch benefitted from suggestions by Thomas Rast and Jan Krï¿œger.

c9717ee970 Teach @{-1} to git merge
1.6.2 will have @{-1} syntax advertised as "usable anywhere you can use
a branch name".  However, "git merge @{-1}" did not work.
