6d167fd7cc pretty: use fmt_output_email_subject()
Add the email-style subject prefix (e.g. "Subject: [PATCH] ") directly
when it's needed instead of letting log_write_email_headers() prepare
it in a static buffer in advance.  This simplifies storage ownership and
code flow.

d9f31fbfe9 pretty: add %(trailers) format for displaying trailers of a commit message
Recent patches have expanded on the trailers.c code and we have the
builtin commant git-interpret-trailers which can be used to add or
modify trailer lines. However, there is no easy way to simply display
the trailers of a commit message.

Add support for %(trailers) format modifier which will use the
trailer_info_get() calls to read trailers in an identical way as git
interpret-trailers does. Use a long format option instead of a short
name so that future work can more easily unify ref-filter and pretty
formats.

Add documentation and tests for the same.

661a180681 gpg-interface: use more status letters
According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS:

    For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG,
    EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted.

gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs).

Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and
trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N
for the %G?  format specifier.

git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is
somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of
the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side.

Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG,
EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information
about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

Call strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() to add abbreviated hashes to strbufs
instead of taking detours through find_unique_abbrev() and its static
buffer.  This is shorter in most cases and a bit more efficient.

The changes here are not easily handled by a semantic patch because
they involve removing temporary variables and deconstructing format
strings for strbuf_addf().

9f23e04061 pretty: support "mboxrd" output format
This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking
readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message.

Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to
be fully-reversible.  "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to
showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers.

This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting
completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having
multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers.

"mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems
of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing
tooling based around mailsplit.

b15a3e005a format_commit_message: honor color=auto for %C(auto)
git-log(1) documents that when specifying the `%C(auto)` format
placeholder will "turn on auto coloring on the next %placeholders
until the color is switched again."

However, when `%C(auto)` is used, the present implementation will turn
colors on unconditionally (even if the color configuration is turned off
for the current context - for example, `--no-color` was specified or the
color is `auto` and the output is not a tty).

Update `format_commit_one` to examine the current context when a format
string of `%C(auto)` is specified, which ensures that we will not
unconditionally write colors.  This brings that behavior in line with
the behavior of `%C(auto,<colorname>)`, and allows the user the ability
to specify that color should be displayed only when the output is a
tty.

Additionally, add a test for `%C(auto)` and update the existing tests
for `%C(auto,...)` as they were misidentified as being applicable to
`%C(auto)`.

Tests from Jeff King.

0893eec85f pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formats
"git log --pretty={medium,full,fuller}" and "git log" by default
prepend 4 spaces to the log message, so it makes sense to enable
the new "expand-tabs" facility by default for these formats.
Add --no-expand-tabs option to override the new default.

The change alone breaks a test in t4201 that runs "git shortlog"
on the output from "git log", and expects that the output from
"git log" does not do such a tab expansion.  Adjust the test to
explicitly disable expand-tabs with --no-expand-tabs.

7cc13c717b pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs,
assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings.
Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as
we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them.

This should all line up:

  Column 1	Column 2
  --------	--------
  A		B
  ABCD		EFGH
  SPACES        Instead of Tabs

Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:

  Column 1	Column 2
  --------	--------
  Ä		B
  åäö		100
  A Møøse	once bit my sister..

Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before
prefixing 4 spaces.

This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we
require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour.

a5481a6c94 convert "enum date_mode" into a struct
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.

Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor.  However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:

  show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);

Ideally we could say:

  show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });

but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:

  1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
     definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
     the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
     have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
     statement).

  2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
     be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
     "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
     is defined in one place.

  3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
     the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
     a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
     But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
     matter.

This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

f6c5a2968c color_parse: do not mention variable name in error message
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'

These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'

This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse --pretty format

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse default color value

466fb6742d pretty: provide a strict ISO 8601 date format
Git's "ISO" date format does not really conform to the ISO 8601
standard due to small differences, and it cannot be parsed by ISO
8601-only parsers, e.g. those of XML toolchains.

The output from "--date=iso" deviates from ISO 8601 in these ways:

  - a space instead of the `T` date/time delimiter
  - a space between time and time zone
  - no colon between hours and minutes of the time zone

Add a strict ISO 8601 date format for displaying committer and
author dates.  Use the '%aI' and '%cI' format specifiers and add
'--date=iso-strict' or '--date=iso8601-strict' date format names.

See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/255879 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/52414/focus=52585

fe6eb7f2c5 commit: provide a function to find a header in a buffer
Usually when we parse a commit, we read it line by line and
handle each individual line (e.g., parse_commit and
parse_commit_header).  Sometimes, however, we only care
about extracting a single header. Code in this situation is
stuck doing an ad-hoc parse of the commit buffer.

Let's provide a reusable function to locate a header within
the commit.  The code is modeled after pretty.c's
get_header, which is used to extract the encoding.

Since some callers may not have the "struct commit" to go
along with the buffer, we drop that parameter.  The only
thing lost is a warning for truncated commits, but that's
OK.  This shouldn't happen in practice, and even if it does,
there's no particular reason that this function needs to
complain about it. It either finds the header it was asked
for, or it doesn't (and in the latter case, the caller will
typically complain).

a26bc613a6 pretty.c: make git_pretty_formats_config return -1 on git_config_string failure
`git_pretty_formats_config()` continues without checking git_config_string's
return value which can lead to a SEGFAULT. Instead return -1 when
git_config_string fails signalling `git_config()` to die printing the location
of the erroneous variable.

b9c7d6e433 pretty: make empty userformats truly empty
If the user provides an empty format with "--format=", we
end up putting in extra whitespace that the user cannot
prevent. This comes from two places:

  1. If the format is missing a terminating newline, we add
     one automatically. This makes sense for --format=%h, but
     not for a truly empty format.

  2. We add an extra newline between the pretty-printed
     format and a diff or diffstat. If the format is empty,
     there's no point in doing so if there's nothing to
     separate.

With this patch, one can get a diff with no other cruft out
of "diff-tree --format= $commit".
