e8b404c27e git-branch: add support for --merged and --no-merged
These options filter the output from git branch to only include branches
whose tip is either merged or not merged into HEAD.

The use-case for these options is when working with integration of branches
from many remotes: `git branch --no-merged -a` will show a nice list of merge
candidates while `git branch --merged -a` will show the progress of your
integration work.

Also, a plain `git branch --merged` is a quick way to find local branches
which you might want to delete.

8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
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]

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free

Addendum:
  Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

9ed36cfa35 branch: optionally setup branch.*.merge from upstream local branches
"git branch" and "git checkout -b" now honor --track option even when
the upstream branch is local.  Previously --track was silently ignored
when forking from a local branch.  Also the command did not error out
when --track was explicitly asked for but the forked point specified
was not an existing branch (i.e. when there is no way to set up the
tracking configuration), but now it correctly does.

The configuration setting branch.autosetupmerge can now be set to
"always", which is equivalent to using --track from the command line.
Setting branch.autosetupmerge to "true" will retain the former behavior
of only setting up branch.*.merge for remote upstream branches.

Includes test cases for the new functionality.

0f6f5a4022 git config --get-colorbool
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from
the configuration file.

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff

inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if
color is to be used.  It exits with status 1 otherwise.

If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff true

When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output
if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or
"true"), and "false" otherwise.

694a577519 git-branch --contains=commit
This teaches git-branch to limit its listing to branches that
are descendants to the named commit.

When you are using many topic branches, you often would want to
see which branch already includes a commit, so that you know
which can and cannot be rewound without disrupting other people.

One thing that sometimes happens to me is:

 * Somebody sends a patch that is a good maint material.  I
   apply it to 'maint':

     $ git checkout maint
     $ git am -3 -s obvious-fix.patch

 * Then somebody else sends another patch that is possibly a
   good maint material, but I'd want to cook it in 'next' to be
   extra sure.  I fork a topic from 'maint' and apply the patch:

     $ git checkout -b xx/maint-fix-foo
     $ git am -3 -s ,xx-maint-fix-foo.patch

 * A minor typo is found in the "obvious-fix.patch".

The above happens without pushing the results out, so I can
freely recover from it by amending 'maint', as long as I do not
forget to rebase the topics that were forked previously.

With this patch, I can do this to find out which topic
branches already contain the faulty commit:

    $ git branch --contains=maint^
      xx/maint-fix-foo

so I can rebase the xx/maint-fix-foo branch before merging it
to 'next'.

format-patch correctly emitted the encoding header to mark the resulting

command line switch "-s" was given to add a new sign-off, and
the signer's name was not ASCII only, the resulting message would have
contained non-ASCII character but was not marked as such.

674d172730 Rework pretty_print_commit to use strbufs instead of custom buffers.
Also remove the "len" parameter, as:
  (1) it was used as a max boundary, and every caller used ~0u
  (2) we check for final NUL no matter what, so it doesn't help for speed.

  As a result most of the pp_* function takes 3 arguments less, and we need
a lot less local variables, this makes the code way more readable, and
easier to extend if needed.

  This patch also fixes some spacing and cosmetic issues.

  This patch also fixes (as a side effect) a memory leak intoruced in

6f084a56fc branch --track: code cleanup and saner handling of local branches
This patch cleans up some complicated code, and replaces it with a
cleaner version, using code from remote.[ch], which got extended a
little in the process.  This also enables us to fix two cases:

The earlier "fix" to setup tracking only when the original ref started
with "refs/remotes" is wrong.  You are absolutely allowed to use a
separate layout for your tracking branches.  The correct fix, of course,
is to set up tracking information only when there is a matching
remote.<nick>.fetch line containing a colon.

Another corner case was not handled properly.  If two remotes write to
the original ref, just warn the user and do not set up tracking.

4017761fd8 branch.autosetupmerge: allow boolean values, or "all"
Junio noticed that switching on autosetupmerge unilaterally started
cluttering the config for local branches.  That is not the original
intention of branch.autosetupmerge, which was meant purely for
convenience when branching off of remote branches, but that semantics
got lost somewhere.

If you still want that "new" behavior, you can switch
branch.autosetupmerge to the value "all".  Otherwise, it is interpreted
as a boolean, which triggers setting up defaults _only_ when branching
off of a remote branch, i.e. the originally intended behavior.

80583c0ef6 Lift 16kB limit of log message output
Traditionally we had 16kB limit when formatting log messages for
output, because it was easier to arrange for the caller to have
a reasonably big buffer and pass it down without ever worrying
about reallocating.

This changes the calling convention of pretty_print_commit() to
lift this limit.  Instead of the buffer and remaining length, it
now takes a pointer to the pointer that points at the allocated
buffer, and another pointer to the location that stores the
allocated length, and reallocates the buffer as necessary.

To support the user format, the error return of interpolate()
needed to be changed.  It used to return a bool telling "Ok the
result fits", or "Sorry, I had to truncate it".  Now it returns
0 on success, and returns the size of the buffer it wants in
order to fit the whole result.

9debc3241b git-fetch, git-branch: Support local --track via a special remote '.'
This patch adds support for a dummy remote '.' to avoid having
to declare a fake remote like

        [remote "local"]
                url = .
                fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*

Such a builtin remote simplifies the operation of "git-fetch",
which will populate FETCH_HEAD but will not pretend that two
repositories are in use, will not create a thin pack, and will
not perform any useless remapping of names.  The speed
improvement is around 20%, and it should improve more if
"git-fetch" is converted to a builtin.

To this end, git-parse-remote is grown with a new kind of
remote, 'builtin'.  In git-fetch.sh, we treat the builtin remote
specially in that it needs no pack/store operations.  In fact,
doing git-fetch on a builtin remote will simply populate
FETCH_HEAD appropriately.

The patch also improves of the --track/--no-track support,
extending it so that branch.<name>.remote items referring '.'
can be created.  Finally, it fixes a typo in git-checkout.sh.

0746d19a82 git-branch, git-checkout: autosetup for remote branch tracking
In order to track and build on top of a branch 'topic' you track from
your upstream repository, you often would end up doing this sequence:

  git checkout -b mytopic origin/topic
  git config --add branch.mytopic.remote origin
  git config --add branch.mytopic.merge refs/heads/topic

This would first fork your own 'mytopic' branch from the 'topic'
branch you track from the 'origin' repository; then it would set up two
configuration variables so that 'git pull' without parameters does the
right thing while you are on your own 'mytopic' branch.

This commit adds a --track option to git-branch, so that "git
branch --track mytopic origin/topic" performs the latter two actions
when creating your 'mytopic' branch.

If the configuration variable branch.autosetupmerge is set to true, you
do not have to pass the --track option explicitly; further patches in
this series allow setting the variable with a "git remote add" option.
The configuration variable is off by default, and there is a --no-track
option to countermand it even if the variable is set.

We shouldn't attempt to assign constant strings into char*, as the

treating unsigned values as unsigned values, not as signed values.

Most of these are very straightforward.  The only exception is the
(unnecessary) xstrdup/free in builtin-branch.c for the detached
head case.  Since this is a user-level interactive type program
and that particular code path is executed no more than once, I feel
that the extra xstrdup call is well worth the easy elimination of

the only users of committer identity information, it made sense
to explicitly call setup_ident() to pre-fill the default value
from the gecos information.  But it is much simpler for programs
to make the call automatic when get_ident() is called these days,
since many more programs want to use the information when updating
the reflog.

The internal function in_merge_bases(A, B) is used to make sure
that commit A is an ancestor of commit B.  This changes the

c847f53712 Detached HEAD (experimental)
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of
repository from any branch.  After this point, "git branch"
starts reporting that you are not on any branch.  You can go
back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for
example.

This is still experimental.  While I think it makes sense to
allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous
unless you are careful in the current form.  Next "git checkout
master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want
to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find
that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches.
There is no such safety valve implemented right now.

On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc
work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because
the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not
having that safety valve might be even better.  The user, after
accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always
create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful
work done while the HEAD was detached.

We'll see.

85023577a8 simplify inclusion of system header files.
This is a mechanical clean-up of the way *.c files include
system header files.

 (1) sources under compat/, platform sha-1 implementations, and
     xdelta code are exempt from the following rules;

 (2) the first #include must be "git-compat-util.h" or one of
     our own header file that includes it first (e.g. config.h,
     builtin.h, pkt-line.h);

 (3) system headers that are included in "git-compat-util.h"
     need not be included in individual C source files.

 (4) "git-compat-util.h" does not have to include subsystem
     specific header files (e.g. expat.h).

f3d985c380 Teach git-branch to delete tracking branches with -r -d
Because -r already means "remote" when listing, you can say:

	$ git branch -d -r origin/todo origin/html origin/man

I just twisted it not to check fast-forwardness with the current
branch when you are removing a tracking branch.  Most likely,
removal of a tracking branch is not because you are "done with"
it (for a local branch, it usually means "you merged it up"),
but because you are not even interested in it.  In other words,
remote tracking branches are more like tags than branches.

Showing local and remote branches in green and red was simply
overkill, as all we wanted was to make it easy to tell them

remote tracking ones can't).

Use plain coloring for local branches and paint remotes in red.

a1158caead Colourise git-branch output
I wanted to have a visual indication of which branches are local and
which are remote in git-branch -a output; however Junio was concerned
that someone might be using the output in a script.  This patch
addresses the problem by colouring the git-branch output - which in
"auto" mode won't be activated.

I've based it off the colouring code for builtin-diff.c; which means
there is a branch color configuration variable that needs setting to
something before the color will appear.

The colour parameter is "color.branch" rather than "branch.color" to
avoid clashing with the default namespace for default branch merge
definitions.

This patch chooses green for local, red for remote and bold green for
current.

c976d415e5 git-branch: add options and tests for branch renaming
Extend git-branch with the following options:

  git-branch -m|-M [<oldbranch>] newbranch

The -M variation is required to force renaming over an exsisting
branchname.

This also indroduces $GIT_DIR/RENAME_REF which is a "metabranch"
used when renaming branches. It will always hold the original sha1
for the latest renamed branch.

Additionally, if $GIT_DIR/logs/RENAME_REF exists, all branch rename
events are logged there.

Finally, some testcases are added to verify the new options.

67affd5173 git-branch -D: make it work even when on a yet-to-be-born branch
This makes "git branch -D other_branch" work even when HEAD
points at a yet-to-be-born branch.

Earlier, we checked the HEAD ref for the purpose of "subset"
check even when the deletion was forced (i.e. not -d but -D).
Because of this, you cannot delete a branch even with -D while
on a yet-to-be-born branch.

With this change, the following sequence that now works:

	mkdir newdir && cd newdir
	git init-db
	git fetch -k $other_repo refs/heads/master:refs/heads/othre
	# oops, typo
	git branch other othre
	git branch -D othre

bfcc921430 Add support to git-branch to show local and remote branches
Instead of storing a list of refnames in append_ref, a list of
structures is created.  Each of these stores the refname and a
symbolic constant representing its type.

The creation of the list is filtered based on a command line
switch; no switch means "local branches only", "-r" means "remote
branches only" (as they always did); but now "-a" means "local
branches or remote branches".

As a side effect, the list is now not global, but allocated in
print_ref_list() where it used.

Also a memory leak is plugged, the memory allocated during the
list creation was never freed.

It lays a groundwork to also display tags, but the command being
'git branch' it is not currently used.
