Now, using --unpacked without limit_list() does not make much
sense, but this is parallel to the earlier --max-age fix.

What ends up not working very well at all is the combination of
"--topo-order" and the output filter in get_revision. It will
return NULL when we see the first commit out of date-order, even
if we have other commits coming.
So we really should do the "past the date order" thing in
get_revision() only if we have _not_ done it already in
limit_list().
Something like this.
The easiest way to test this is with just
gitk --since=3.days.ago
on the kernel tree. Without this patch, it tends to be pretty obviously
broken.

This makes git-rev-list able to do path-limiting without having to parse
all of history before it starts showing the results.
This makes things like "git log -- pathname" much more pleasant to use.
This is actually a pretty small patch, and the biggest part of it is
purely cleanups (turning the "goto next" statements into "continue"), but
it's conceptually a lot bigger than it looks.
What it does is that if you do a path-limited revision list, and you do
_not_ ask for pseudo-parenthood information, it won't do all the
path-limiting up-front, but instead do it incrementally in
"get_revision()".
This is an absolutely huge deal for anything like "git log -- <pathname>",
but also for some things that we don't do yet - like the "find where
things changed" logic I've described elsewhere, where we want to find the
previous revision that changed a file.
The reason I put "RFC" in the subject line is that while I've validated it
various ways, like doing
git-rev-list HEAD -- drivers/char/ | md5sum
before-and-after on the kernel archive, it's "git-rev-list" after all. In
other words, it's that really really subtle and complex central piece of
software. So while I think this is important and should go in asap, I also
think it should get lots of testing and eyeballs looking at the code.
Btw, don't even bother testing this with the git archive. git itself is so
small that parsing the whole revision history for it takes about a second
even with path limiting. The thing that _really_ shows this off is doing
git log drivers/
on the kernel archive, or even better, on the _historic_ kernel archive.
With this change, the response is instantaneous (although seeking to the
end of the result will obviously take as long as it ever did). Before this
change, the command would think about the result for tens of seconds - or
even minutes, in the case of the bigger old kernel archive - before
starting to output the results.
NOTE NOTE NOTE! Using path limiting with things like "gitk", which uses
the "--parents" flag to actually generate a pseudo-history of the
resulting commits won't actually see the improvement in interactivity,
since that forces git-rev-list to do the whole-history thing after all.
MAYBE we can fix that too at some point, but I won't promise anything.

Marco reported that
$ git rev-list --boundary --topo-order --parents 5aa44d5..ab57c8d
misses these two boundary commits.

Indeed, we can see that gitk shows these two commits at the
bottom, because the --boundary code failed to output them.
The code did not check to avoid pushing the same uninteresting
commit twice to the result list. I am not sure why this fixes
the reported problem, but this seems to fix it.

With the new --boundary flag, the output from rev-list includes
the UNINTERESING commits at the boundary, which are usually not
shown. Their object names are prefixed with '-'.
For example, with this graph:
C side
/
A---B---D master
You would get something like this:
$ git rev-list --boundary --header --parents side..master
D B
tree D^{tree}
parent B
... log message for commit D here ...
\0-B A
tree B^{tree}
parent A
... log message for commit B here ...
\0

When passing in a pathname pattern without the "--" separator on the
command line, we verify that the pathnames in question exist. However,
there were two bugs in that verification:
- git-rev-parse would only check the first pathname, and silently allow
any invalid subsequent pathname, whether it existed or not (which
defeats the purpose of the check, and is also inconsistent with what
git-rev-list actually does)
- git-rev-list (and "git log" etc) would check each filename, but if the
check failed, it would print the error using the first one, i.e.:
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git log Makefile bad-file
fatal: 'Makefile': No such file or directory
instead of saying that it's 'bad-file' that doesn't exist.
This fixes both bugs.

Marco Costalba reports that --remove-empty omits the commit that

logic was dropping a parent we introduced those paths against,
which I think is not what we meant. Instead, this makes such

prune_fn in the rev_info structure is called in place of
try_to_simplify_commit. This makes it possible to do rename tracking
with a custom try_to_simplify_commit-like function.
This commit also introduces init_revisions which initialises the rev_info
structure with default values.

When git-rev-list (and git-log) collapsed ancestry chain to
commits that touch specified paths, we failed to inspect and
notice tree changes when we are about to hit uninteresting
parent. This resulted in "git rev-list since.. -- file" to
always show the child commit after the lower bound, even if it
does not touch the file. This commit fixes it.
Thanks for Catalin for reporting this.

to prepare and then walk the revisions that we have.

This really just splits things up partially, and creates the
interface to set things up by parsing the command line.
No real code changes so far, although the parsing of filenames is a bit
stricter. In particular, if there is a "--", then we do not accept any
filenames before it, and if there isn't any "--", then we check that _all_
paths listed are valid, not just the first one.
The new argument parsing automatically also gives us "--default" and
"--not" handling as in git-rev-parse.
