Commit 7ba826290a (revision: add rev_input_given flag, 2017-08-02) added
a flag to rev_info to tell whether we got any revision arguments. As
explained there, this is necessary because some revision arguments may
not produce any pending traversal objects, but should still inhibit
default behaviors (e.g., a glob that matches nothing).
However, it only set the flag in the globbing code, but not for
revisions we get on the command-line or via stdin. This leads to two
problems:
- the command-line code keeps its own separate got_rev_arg flag; this
isn't wrong, but it's confusing and an extra maintenance burden
- even specifically-named rev arguments might end up not adding any
pending objects: if --ignore-missing is set, then specifying a
missing object is a noop rather than an error.
And that leads to some user-visible bugs:
- when deciding whether a default rev like "HEAD" should kick in, we
check both got_rev_arg and rev_input_given. That means that
"--ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" works on the command-line (where we set
got_rev_arg) but not on --stdin (where we don't)
- when rev-list decides whether it should complain that it wasn't
given a starting point, it relies on rev_input_given. So it can't
even get the command-line "--ignore-missing $ZERO_OID" right
Let's consistently set the flag if we got any revision argument. That
lets us clean up the redundant got_rev_arg, and fixes both of those bugs
(but note there are three new tests: we'll confirm the already working
git-log command-line case).
A few implementation notes:
- conceptually we want to set the flag whenever handle_revision_arg()
finds an actual revision arg ("handles" it, you might say). But it
covers a ton of cases with early returns. Rather than annotating
each one, we just wrap it and use its success exit-code to set the
flag in one spot.
- the new rev-list test is in t6018, which is titled to cover globs.
This isn't exactly a glob, but it made sense to stick it with the
other tests that handle the "even though we got a rev, we have no
pending objects" case, which are globs.
- the tests check for the oid of a missing object, which it's pretty
clear --ignore-missing should ignore. You can see the same behavior
with "--ignore-missing a-ref-that-does-not-exist", because
--ignore-missing treats them both the same. That's perhaps less
clearly correct, and we may want to change that in the future. But
the way the code and tests here are written, we'd continue to do the
right thing even if it does.

"rev-parse --exclude=<pattern> --branches=<pattern>" etc. did not
quite work, which has been corrected.
* ra/rev-parse-exclude-glob:
refs: fix some exclude patterns being ignored
refs: show --exclude failure with --branches/tags/remotes=glob
"git rev-parse --exclude=* --branches --branches" (i.e. first
saying "add only things that do not match '*' out of all branches"
and then adding all branches, without any exclusion this time")
worked as expected, but "--exclude=* --all --all" did not work the
same way, which has been fixed.
* ag/rev-parse-all-exclude-fix:
rev-parse: clear --exclude list after 'git rev-parse --all'
`--exclude` from rev-list and rev-parse fails to exclude references if
the next `--branches`, `--tags` or `--remotes` use the optional
inclusive glob because those options are implemented as particular cases
of `--glob=`, which itself requires that exclude patterns begin with
'refs/'.
But it makes sense for `--branches=glob` and friends to be aware that
exclusions patterns for them shouldn't be 'refs/<type>/' prefixed, the
same way exclude patterns for `--branches` and friends (without the
optional glob) already are.
Let's record in 'refs.c:struct ref_filter' which context the exclude
pattern is tied to, so refs.c:filter_refs() can decide if it should
ignore the prefix when trying to match.

The documentation of `--exclude=` option from rev-list and rev-parse
explicitly states that exclude patterns *should not* start with 'refs/'
when used with `--branches`, `--tags` or `--remotes`.
However, following this advice results in refereces not being excluded
if the next `--branches`, `--tags`, `--remotes` use the optional
inclusive glob.
Demonstrate this failure.

Commit [1] added the --exclude option to revision.c. The --all,
--branches, --tags, --remotes, and --glob options clear the exclude
list. Shortly therafter, commit [2] added the same to 'git rev-parse',
but without clearing the exclude list for the --all option.

When we originally did the series that contains 7ba826290a
(revision: add rev_input_given flag, 2017-08-02) the intent
was that "git rev-list --stdin </dev/null" would similarly
become a successful noop. However, an attempt at the time to
do that did not work[1]. The problem is that rev_input_given
serves two roles:
- it tells rev-list.c that it should not error out
- it tells revision.c that it should not have the "default"
ref kick (e.g., "HEAD" in "git log")
We want to trigger the former, but not the latter. This is
technically possible with a single flag, if we set the flag
only after revision.c's revs->def check. But this introduces
a rather subtle ordering dependency.
Instead, let's keep two flags: one to denote when we got
actual input (which triggers both roles) and one for when we
read stdin (which triggers only the first).
This does mean a caller interested in the first role has to
check both flags, but there's only one such caller. And any
future callers might want to make the distinction anyway
(e.g., if they care less about erroring out, and more about
whether revision.c soaked up our stdin).
In fact, we already keep such a flag internally in
revision.c for this purpose, so this is really just exposing
that to the caller (and the old function-local flag can go
away in favor of our new one).

Prior to d3c6751b18 (tests: make use of the test_must_be_empty
function, 2018-07-27), in the test 'rev-list should succeed with empty
output on empty stdin' in 't6018-rev-list-glob' the empty 'expect'
file served dual purpose: besides specifying the expected output, as
usual, it also served as empty input for 'git rev-list --stdin'.
Then d3c6751b18 came along, and, as part of the conversion to
'test_must_be_empty', removed this empty 'expect' file, not realizing
its secondary purpose. Redirecting stdin from the now non-existing
file failed the test, but since this test expects failure in the first
place, this issue went unnoticed.
Redirect 'git rev-list's stdin explicitly from /dev/null to provide
empty input. (Strictly speaking we don't need this redirection,
because the test script's stdin is already redirected from /dev/null
anyway, but I think it's better to be explicit about it.)

If the user gives us no starting point for a traversal, we
want to complain with our normal usage message. But if they
tried to do so with "--all" or "--glob", but that happened
not to match any refs, the usage message isn't helpful. We
should just give them the empty output they asked for
instead.

In 751a2ac6e (rev-list --exclude: tests, 2013-11-01), we
added a few tests for handling "empty" inputs with rev-list
(i.e., where the user gave us some pattern but it turned out
not to queue any objects for traversal), all of which were
marked as failing.
In preparation for working on this area of the code, let's
give each test a more descriptive name. Let's also include
one more case which we should cover: feeding a --glob
pattern that doesn't match anything.
We can also drop the explanatory comment; we'll be
converting these to expect_success in the next few patches,
so the discussion isn't necessary.

Teach "rev-parse" the same "I'm going to glob, but omit the ones

Add tests for the --exclude=<glob> feature.
A few tests are added for cases where use of globbing and
"--exclude" results in no positive revisions:
* "--exclude=<glob>" before "--all" etc. resulted in no results;
* "--stdin" is used but no input was given;
* "--all" etc. is used but no matching refs are found.
Currently, we fail such a request with the same error message we
would give to a command line that does not specify any positive
revision (e.g. "git rev-list<ENTER>").
We may want to treat these cases differently and not error out, but
the logic to detect that would be common to all of them, so I'd
leave it outside this topic for now, and stop at adding these tests
as food-for-thought.

As v1.6.0-rc2~42 (2008-07-31) explains, even pseudo-options like --not
and --glob that need to be parsed in order with revisions should be
marked handled by handle_revision_opt to avoid an error when
parse_revision_opt callers like "git shortlog" encounter them.

Since local branch, tags and remote tracking branch namespaces are
most often used, add shortcut notations for globbing those in
manner similar to --glob option.
With this, one can express the "what I have but origin doesn't?"
