894a9d333e Support showing notes from more than one notes tree
With this patch, you can set notes.displayRef to a glob that points at
your favourite notes refs, e.g.,

[notes]
	displayRef = refs/notes/*

Then git-log and friends will show notes from all trees.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano for lots of feedback, which greatly
influenced the design of the entire series and this commit in
particular.

66b2ed09c2 Fix "log" family not to be too agressive about showing notes
Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.

Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

382da4023f format-patch: fix parsing of "--" on the command line
When given a pathspec that does not match any path in the current work
tree with an explicit "--":

    git format-patch <commit> -- <path>

the command still complains that <path> does not exist in the current work
tree and the user needs to explicitly specify "--" and errors out.  This
is because it incorrectly removes "--" from the command line arguments
that is later passed to setup_revisions().

2cfa8330e4 format-patch: Add "--no-stat" as a synonym for "-p"
"-p" means "generate patch" in 'git log' and 'git diff', so it's
quite surprising that it means "suppress diffstat" in
'git format-patch'.

Keep the "-p" option for backward compatibility, but add
"--no-stat" as a more intuitive synonym. For backward compatibility
with scripts, we must allow combinations of --stat and --no-stat.

02bc5b03f5 format-patch: Always generate a patch
Jeff King recently reinstated -p to suppress the default diffstat
(as -p used to work before 68daa64, about 14 months ago).

However, -p is also needed in combination with certain options
(e.g. --stat or --numstat) in order to produce any patch at all.
The documentation does not mention this.

Since the purpose of format-patch is to produce a patch that
can be emailed, it does not make sense that certain combination
of options will suppress the generation of the patch itself.

Therefore:

* Update 'git format-patch' to always generate a patch.

* Since the --name-only, --name-status, and --check suppresses
  the generation of the patch, disallow those options,
  and remove the description of them in the documentation.

* Remove the reference to -p in the description of -U.

* Remove the descriptions of the options that are synonyms for -p
  plus another option (--patch-with-raw and --patch-with-stat).

* While at it, slightly tweak the description of -p itself
  to say that it generates "plain patches", so that you can
  think of -p as "plain patch" as an mnemonic aid.

fef34270f2 Show usage string for 'git cherry -h'
Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than an
"Unknown commit -h" error.

"cherry -h" could be asking to compare histories that leads to
our HEAD and a commit that can be named as "-h".  Strictly
speaking, that may be a valid refname, but the user would have to
say something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological ref
already, so it is not such a big deal.

The "-h" option keeps its meaning even if preceded by other
options or followed by other arguments.  This keeps the
command-line syntax closer to what parse_options would give and
supports shell aliases like 'alias cherry="git cherry -v"' a
little better.

1d46f2ea14 format-patch: make "-p" suppress diffstat
Once upon a time, format-patch would use its default stat
plus patch format only when no diff format was given on the
command line. This meant that "format-patch -p" would
suppress the stat and show just the patch.

Commit 68daa64 changed this to keep the stat format when we
had an "implicit" patch format, like "-U5". As a side
effect, this meant that an explicit patch format was now
ignored (because cmd_format_patch didn't know the reason
that the format was set way down in diff_opt_parse).

This patch unbreaks what 68daa64 did (while still preserving
what 68daa64 was trying to do), reinstating "-p" to suppress
the default behavior. We do this by parsing "-p" ourselves
in format-patch, and noting whether it was used explicitly.

dd2e794a21 Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct
pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites.  Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.

The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.

We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

33e7018c45 git-log: allow --decorate[=short|full]
Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.

This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

90b1994170 diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B").  As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.

Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET
option everywhere.

ae03ee644e show: add space between multiple items
When showing an annotated tag, "git show" will always
display the pointed-to object. However, it didn't separate
the two with whitespace, making it more difficult to notice
where the new object started. For example:

  $ git show foo
  tag foo

  ...

This patch respects and sets the rev.shown_one member to
prepend a blank line before showing a second item. We use
this member of rev_info instead of a local flag, because the
log_tree_commit we call into for showing commits already
respects and sets that flag. Meaning that everything will be
spaced properly if you intermix commits and tags, like:

  $ git show v1.6.3 v1.6.2 HEAD

In that case, a single blank line will separate the first
tag, the commit it points to, the second tag, the commit
that one points to, and the final commit.

While we're at it, let's also support trees, so that even
something as crazy as

  $ git show HEAD^{tree} HEAD~1^{tree} HEAD

will also be spaced in an easy-to-read way. However, we
intentionally do _not_ insert blank lines for blobs, so
that specifying multiple blobs gives a strict concatenation.

ca4ca9ed06 show: suppress extra newline when showing annotated tag
When showing a tag, our header parsing finishes with the
offset pointing to the newline separating the tag header
from the tag body. This means that the printed body will
always start with a newline.

However, we also add an extra newline when printing the
tagger information. This leads to an ugly double-newline:

    $ git show v1.6.3
    tag v1.6.3
    Tagger: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
    Date:   Wed May 6 18:16:47 2009 -0700

    GIT 1.6.3
    -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    ...

This patch removes the extra newline from the end of the
tagger headers. This is a better solution than suppressing
the separator newline, because it retains the behavior for
tags which have no tagger. E.g., "git show v0.99" will
continue to look like:

      $ git show v0.99
      tag v0.99

2af202be3d Fix various sparse warnings in the git source code
There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
down to two main issues that sparse complains about:

 - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

   Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
   reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
   pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
   historical accident and not very pretty.

   A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
   I didn't touch those.

 - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?

   Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
   of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
   should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.

   A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
   be made static.

That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
this patch.

get_patch_filename() and passed to reopen_stdout() which prepends the

get_oneline_for_filename(), has been renamed to get_patch_filename() to

ec2956df59 format-patch: Respect --quiet option
Hide the patch filename output from 'git format-patch' when --quiet
is used.  The man pages suggested that this should have already worked.

30984ed2e9 format-patch: support deep threading
For deep threading mode, i.e., the mode that gives a thread structured
like

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
   `-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
      `-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
         `-+ ...

we currently have to use 'git send-email --thread' (the default).  On
the other hand, format-patch also has a --thread option which gives
shallow mode, i.e.,

  + [PATCH 0/n] Cover letter
  |-+ [PATCH 1/n] First patch
  |-+ [PATCH 2/n] Second patch
  ...

To reduce the confusion resulting from having two indentically named
features in different tools giving different results, let format-patch
take an optional argument '--thread=deep' that gives the same output
as 'send-mail --thread'.  With no argument, or 'shallow', behave as
before.  Also add a configuration variable format.thread with the same
semantics.

2175c10d5a format-patch: thread as reply to cover letter even with in-reply-to
Currently, format-patch --thread --cover-letter --in-reply-to $parent
makes all mails, including the cover letter, a reply to $parent.
However, we would want the reader to consider the cover letter above
all the patches.

This changes the semantics so that only the cover letter is a reply to
$parent, while all the patches are formatted as replies to the cover
letter.

b079c50e03 format-patch: track several references
Currently, format-patch can only track a single reference (the
In-Reply-To:) for each mail.  To ensure proper threading, we should
list all known references for every mail.

Change the rev_info.ref_message_id field to a string_list, so that we
can append references at will, and change the output formatting
routines to print all of them in the References: header.  The last
entry in the list is implicitly assumed to be the In-Reply-To:, which
gives output consistent with RFC 2822:

   The "References:" field will contain the contents of the parent's
   "References:" field (if any) followed by the contents of the
   parent's "Message-ID:" field (if any).

Note that this is just preparatory work; nothing uses it yet, so all
"References:" fields in the output are still only one deep.
