"git rev-parse --symbolic" failed with a more recent notation like
"HEAD^-1" and "HEAD^!".
* jk/rev-parse-symbolic-parents-fix:
rev-parse: fix parent shorthands with --symbolic
The try_parent_shorthands() function shows each parent via
show_rev(). We pass the correct parent sha1, but our "name"
parameter still points at the original refname. So asking
for a regular rev-parse works fine (it prints the sha1s),
but asking for the symbolic name gives nonsense like:
$ git rev-parse --symbolic HEAD^-1
HEAD
^HEAD
which is always an empty set of commits. Asking for "^!" is
likewise broken, with the added bonus that its prints ^HEAD
for _each_ parent. And "^@" just prints HEAD repeatedly.
Arguably it would be correct to just pass NULL as the name
here, and always get the parent expressed as a sha1. The
"--symbolic" documentaton claims only "as close to the
original input as possible", and we certainly fallback to
sha1s where necessary. But it's pretty easy to generate a
symbolic name on the fly from the original.

Allow the default abbreviation length, which has historically been
7, to scale as the repository grows. The logic suggests to use 12
hexdigits for the Linux kernel, and 9 to 10 for Git itself.
* lt/abbrev-auto:
abbrev: auto size the default abbreviation
abbrev: prepare for new world order
abbrev: add FALLBACK_DEFAULT_ABBREV to prepare for auto sizing
The code that sets custom abbreviation length, in response to
command line argument, often does something like this:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--abbrev=", &arg))
abbrev = atoi(arg);
else if (!strcmp("--abbrev", &arg))
abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
/* make the value sane */
if (abbrev < 0 || 40 < abbrev)
abbrev = ... some sane value ...
However, it is pointless to sanity-check and tweak the value
obtained from DEFAULT_ABBREV. We are going to allow it to be
initially set to -1 to signal that the default abbreviation length
must be auto sized upon the first request to abbreviate, based on
the number of objects in the repository, and when that happens,
rejecting or tweaking a negative value to a "saner" one will
negatively interfere with the auto sizing. The codepaths for
git rev-parse --short <object>
git diff --raw --abbrev
do exactly that; allow them to pass possibly negative abbrevs
intact, that will come from DEFAULT_ABBREV in the future.

"git log rev^..rev" is commonly used to show all work done on and merged
from a side branch. This patch introduces a shorthand "rev^-" for this
and additionally allows "rev^-$n" to mean "reachable from rev, excluding
what is reachable from the nth parent of rev". For example, for a
two-parent merge, you can use rev^-2 to get the set of commits which were
made to the main branch while the topic branch was prepared.

The "--local-env-vars" and "--resolve-git-dir" options of "git
rev-parse" failed to work outside a repository when the command's
option parsing was rewritten in 1.8.5 era.
* jk/rev-parse-local-env-vars:
rev-parse: let some options run outside repository
t1515: add tests for rev-parse out-of-repo helpers
Once upon a time, you could use "--local-env-vars" and
"--resolve-git-dir" outside of any git repository, but they
had to come first on the command line. Commit 68889b4
(rev-parse: remove restrictions on some options, 2013-07-21)
put them into the normal option-parsing loop, fixing the
latter. But it inadvertently broke the former, as we call
setup_git_directory() before starting that loop.
We can note that those options don't care even conditionally
about whether we are in a git repo. So it's fine if we
simply wait to setup the repo until we see an option that
needs it.
However, there is one special exception we should make:
historically, rev-parse will set up the repository and read
config even if there are _no_ options. Some of the
tests in t1300 rely on this to check "git -c $config"
parsing. That's not mirroring real-world use, and we could
tweak the test. But t0002 uses a bare "git rev-parse" to
check "are we in a git repository?". It's plausible that
real-world scripts are relying on this.
So let's cover this case specially, and treat an option-less
"rev-parse" as "see if we're in a repo".

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

A line in the input to "rev-parse --parseopt" describes an option by
listing a short and/or long name, optional flags [*=?!], argument hint,
and then whitespace and help string.
We did not allow any of the [*=?!] characters in the argument hints.
The following input
pair=key=value equals sign in the hint
used to generate a help line like this:
--pair=key <value> equals sign in the hint
and used to expect "pair=key" as the argument name.
That is not very helpful as we generally do not want any of the [*=?!]
characters in the argument names. But we do want to use at least the
equals sign in the argument hints.
Update the parser to make long argument names stop at the first [*=?!]
character.
Add test case with equals sign in the argument hint and update the test
to perform all the operations in test_expect_success matching the
t/README requirements and allowing commands like

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"

To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup
instead of xmalloc + sprintf - 2014-06-19) because using git_pathdup
here would result in infinite recursion:
setup_git_env() -> git_pathdup("objects") -> .. -> adjust_git_path()
-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is
introduced, git_pathdup_literal("objects") needs adjust_git_path() to
replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

The callers of get_merge_bases() can choose to leave object flags

the object without contaminate flags.

get_merge_bases() to drop the cleanup parameter, so that the
majority of the callers do not have to say ", 1" at the end.

When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or
"foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally
munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev
arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge
the result.
For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we
would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename.
try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case.
However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect
error messages, or even incorrect results:
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
fatal: ambiguous argument 'foobar': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar^@

For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does
not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However,
a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for
it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to
