This replaces the shell script git-cherry with a version written in C.
The behaviour of the new version differs from the original in two
points: it has no long help any more, and it is handling the (optional)
third parameter a bit differently. Basically, it does the equivalent
of
ours=`git-rev-list $ours ^$limit ^$upstream`
instead of
ours=`git-rev-list $ours ^$limit`

This also adds some very rudimentary support for the notion of packed
refs. HOWEVER! At this point it isn't used to actually look up a ref
yet, only for listing them (ie "for_each_ref()" and friends see the
packed refs, but none of the other single-ref lookup routines).
Note how we keep two separate lists: one for the loose refs, and one for
the packed refs we read. That's so that we can easily keep the two apart,
and read only one set or the other (and still always make sure that the
loose refs take precedence).
[ From this, it's not actually obvious why we'd keep the two separate
lists, but it's important to have the packed refs on their own list
later on, when I add support for looking up a single loose one.
For that case, we will want to read _just_ the packed refs in case the
single-ref lookup fails, yet we may end up needing the other list at
some point in the future, so keeping them separated is important ]

It's kind of like "git peek-remote", but works only locally (and thus
avoids the whole overhead of git_connect()) and has some extra
verification features.
For example, it allows you to filter the results, and to choose whether
you want the tag dereferencing or not. You can also use it to just test
whether a particular ref exists.
For example:
git show-ref master
will show all references called "master", whether tags or heads or
anything else, and regardless of how deep in the reference naming
hierarchy they are (so it would show "refs/heads/master" but also
"refs/remote/other-repo/master").
When using the "--verify" flag, the command requires an exact ref path:
git show-ref --verify refs/heads/master
will only match the exact branch called "master".
If nothing matches, show-ref will return an error code of 1, and in the
case of verification, it will show an error message.
For scripting, you can ask it to be quiet with the "--quiet" flag, which
allows you to do things like
git-show-ref --quiet --verify -- "refs/heads/$headname" ||
echo "$headname is not a valid branch"
to check whether a particular branch exists or not (notice how we don't
actually want to show any results, and we want to use the full refname for
it in order to not trigger the problem with ambiguous partial matches).
To show only tags, or only proper branch heads, use "--tags" and/or
"--heads" respectively (using both means that it shows tags _and_ heads,
but not other random references under the refs/ subdirectory).
To do automatic tag object dereferencing, use the "-d" or "--dereference"
flag, so you can do
git show-ref --tags --dereference
to get a listing of all tags together with what they dereference.

git-archive is a command to make TAR and ZIP archives of a git tree.
It helps prevent a proliferation of git-{format}-tree commands.
Instead of directly calling git-{tar,zip}-tree command, it defines
a very simple API, that archiver should implement and register in
"git-archive.c". This API is made up by 2 functions whose prototype
is defined in "archive.h" file.
- The first one is used to parse 'extra' parameters which have
signification only for the specific archiver. That would allow
different archive backends to have different kind of options.
- The second one is used to ask to an archive backend to build
the archive given some already resolved parameters.
The main reason for making this API is to avoid using
git-{tar,zip}-tree commands, hence making them useless. Maybe it's
time for them to die ?
It also implements remote operations by defining a very simple
protocol: it first sends the name of the specific uploader followed
the repository name (git-upload-tar git://example.org/repo.git).
Then it sends options. It's done by sending a sequence of one
argument per packet, with prefix "argument ", followed by a flush.
The remote protocol is implemented in "git-archive.c" for client
side and is triggered by "--remote=<repo>" option. For example,
to fetch a TAR archive in a remote repo, you can issue:
$ git archive --format=tar --remote=git://xxx/yyy/zzz.git HEAD
We choose to not make a new command "git-fetch-archive" for example,
avoind one more GIT command which should be nice for users (less
commands to remember, keeps existing --remote option).

muddled anyway, so re-write the code to finesse the problem.

This changes semantics very subtly, because it adds a new atomicity
guarantee.
In particular, if you "git rm" several files, it will now do all or
nothing. The old shell-script really looped over the removed files one by
one, and would basically randomly fail in the middle if "-f" was used and
one of the files didn't exist in the working directory.
This C builtin one will not re-write the index after each remove, but
instead remove all files at once. However, that means that if "-f" is used
(to also force removal of the file from the working directory), and some
files have already been removed from the workspace, it won't stop in the
middle in some half-way state like the old one did.
So what happens is that if the _first_ file fails to be removed with "-f",
we abort the whole "git rm". But once we've started removing, we don't
leave anything half done. If some of the other files don't exist, we'll
just ignore errors of removal from the working tree.
This is only an issue with "-f", of course.
I think the new behaviour is strictly an improvement, but perhaps more
importantly, it is _different_. As a special case, the semantics are
identical for the single-file case (which is the only one our test-suite
seems to test).
The other question is what to do with leading directories. The old "git
rm" script didn't do anything, which is somewhat inconsistent. This one
will actually clean up directories that have become empty as a result of
removing the last file, but maybe we want to have a flag to decide the
behaviour?

This attempts to set up built-in "git grep" to further reduce
our dependence on the shell, while at the same time optionally
allowing to run grep against object database. You could do
funky things like these:
git grep --cached -e pattern ;# grep from index
git grep -e pattern master ;# or in a rev
git grep -e pattern master next ;# or in multiple revs
git grep -e pattern pu^@ ;# even like this with an
;# extension from another topic ;-)
git grep -e pattern master..next ;# or even from rev ranges
git grep -e pattern master~20:Documentation
;# or an arbitrary tree
git grep -e pattern next:git-commit.sh
;# or an arbitrary blob
Right now, it does not understand and/or obey many options grep
should accept, and the pattern must be given with -e option due
to the way the parameter parser is structured, both of which
obviously need to be fixed for usability.
But this is going in the right direction. The shell script
version is one of the worst Portability offender in the git
barebone Porcelainish; it uses xargs -0 to pass paths around and
shell arrays to sift flags and parameters.

This adds a builtin "push" command, which is largely just a C'ification of
the "git-push.sh" script.
Now, the reason I did it as a built-in is partly because it's yet another
step on relying less on shell, but it's actually mostly because I've
wanted to be able to push to _multiple_ repositories, and the most obvious
and simplest interface for that would seem be to just have a "remotes"
file that has multiple URL entries.
(For "pull", having multiple entries should either just select the first
one, or you could fall back on the others on failure - your choice).
And quite frankly, it just became too damn messy to do that in shell.
Besides, we actually have a fair amount of infrastructure in C, so it just
wasn't that hard to do.
Of course, this is almost totally untested. It probably doesn't work for
anything but the one trial I threw at it. "Simple" doesn't necessarily
mean "obviously correct".

When I split out the builtin commands into their own files, I left the

needed it (builtin-help.c).
Nobody seems to have noticed, because everything still worked, but because
the TIOCGWINSZ macro was now no longer defined when compiling the
"term_columns()" function, it would no longer automatically notice the

I personally prefer "ignore_merges" to be on by default, because quite
often the merge diff is distracting and not interesting. That's true both
with "-p" and with "--stat" output.
If you want output from merges, you can trivially use the "-m", "-c" or
"--cc" flags to tell that you're interested in merges, which also tells
the diff generator what kind of diff to do (for --stat, any of the three
will do, of course, but they differ for plain patches or for
--patch-with-stat).
This trivial patch just removes the two lines that tells "git log" not to
ignore merges. It will still show the commit log message, of course, due
to the "always_show_header" part.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.
The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like
if (rev->logopt)
show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");
but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.
That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:
while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
free(commit->buffer);
commit->buffer = NULL;
}
so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.
I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.
This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

The "--help" argument is special, in that it is (along with "--version")
in that is taken by the "git" program itself rather than the sub-command,
and thus we've had the syntax "git --help cmd".
However, as anybody who has ever used CVS or some similar devil-spawn
program, it's confusing as h*ll when options before the sub-command act
differently from options after the sub-command, so this quick hack just
makes it acceptable to do "git cmd --help" instead, and get the exact same
result.
It may be hacky, but it's simple and does the trick.
Of course, this does not help if you use one of the non-builtin commands
without using the "git" helper. Ie you won't be getting a man-page just
because you do "git-rev-list --help". Don't expect us to be quite _that_

This basically does a few things that are sadly somewhat interdependent,
and nontrivial to split out
- get rid of "struct log_tree_opt"
The fields in "log_tree_opt" are moved into "struct rev_info", and all
users of log_tree_opt are changed to use the rev_info struct instead.
- add the parsing for the log_tree_opt arguments to "setup_revision()"
- make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related
arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants
to show diffs or not.
- make setup_revision() also initialize the diffopt part of rev_info
(which we had from before, but we just didn't initialize it)
- make setup_revision() do all the "finishing touches" on it all (it will
do the proper flag combination logic, and call "diff_setup_done()")
Now, that was the easy and straightforward part.
The slightly more involved part is that some of the programs that want to
use the new-and-improved rev_info parsing don't actually want _commits_,
they may want tree'ish arguments instead. That meant that I had to change
setup_revision() to parse the arguments not into the "revs->commits" list,
but into the "revs->pending_objects" list.
Then, when we do "prepare_revision_walk()", we walk that list, and create
the sorted commit list from there.
This actually cleaned some stuff up, but it's the less obvious part of the
patch, and re-organized the "revision.c" logic somewhat. It actually paves
the way for splitting argument parsing _entirely_ out of "revision.c",
since now the argument parsing really is totally independent of the commit
walking: that didn't use to be true, since there was lots of overlap with
get_commit_reference() handling etc, now the _only_ overlap is the shared
(and trivial) "add_pending_object()" thing.
However, I didn't do that file split, just because I wanted the diff
itself to be smaller, and show the actual changes more clearly. If this
gets accepted, I'll do further cleanups then - that includes the file
split, but also using the new infrastructure to do a nicer "git diff" etc.
Even in this form, it actually ends up removing more lines than it adds.
It's nice to note how simple and straightforward this makes the built-in
"git log" command, even though it continues to support all the diff flags
too. It doesn't get much simpler that this.
I think this is worth merging soonish, because it does allow for future
cleanup and even more sharing of code. However, it obviously touches
"revision.c", which is subtle. I've tested that it passes all the tests we
have, and it passes my "looks sane" detector, but somebody else should
also give it a good look-over.

This trivially avoids keeping the commit message data around after we
don't need it any more, avoiding a continually growing "git log" memory
footprint.
It's not a huge deal, but it's somewhat noticeable. For the current kernel
tree, doing a full "git log" I got
- before: /usr/bin/time git log > /dev/null
0.81user 0.02system 0:00.84elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+8851minor)pagefaults 0swaps

0inputs+0outputs (0major+5039minor)pagefaults 0swaps
ie the touched pages dropped from 8851 to 5039. For the historic kernel
archive, the numbers are 18357->11037 minor page faults.
We could/should in theory free the commits themselves, but that's really a
lot harder, since during revision traversal we may hit the same commit
twice through different children having it as a parent, even after we've
shown it once (when that happens, we'll silently ignore it next time, but
we still need the "struct commit" to know).
And as the commit message data is clearly the biggest part of the commit,
this is the really easy 60% solution.

This is another patch in the "prepare to do more in C" series, where the
git wrapper command is taught about the notion of handling some
functionality internally.
Right now, the only internal commands are "version" and "help", but the
point being that we can now easily extend it to handle some of the trivial
scripts internally. Things like "git log" and "git diff" wouldn't need
separate external scripts any more.
This also implies that to support the old "git-log" and "git-diff" syntax,
the "git" wrapper now automatically looks at the name it was executed as,
and if it is "git-xxxx", it will assume that it is to internally do what
"git xxxx" would do.
In other words, you can (once you implement an internal command) soft- or
hard-link that command to the "git" wrapper command, and it will do the
right thing, whether you use the "git xxxx" or the "git-xxxx" format.
There's one other change: the search order for external programs is
modified slightly, so that the first entry remains GIT_EXEC_DIR, but the
second entry is the same directory as the git wrapper itself was executed
out of - if we can figure it out from argv[0], of course.

The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as
git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for
logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not
desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's
intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH.
- git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands.
- exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in
the following directories:
1. --exec-path (as used by "git")
2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable.
3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)).
- git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to
invoke "git-foo" commands.
Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent
of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
