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().

"-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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When showing an annotated tag, "git show" will always

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.

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

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

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.

reopen_stdout() usually takes the oneline subject of a commit,
appends the patch suffix, prepends the output directory (if any) and
then reopens stdout as the resulting file. Now the patch filename (the
oneline subject and the patch suffix) is created in
get_patch_filename() and passed to reopen_stdout() which prepends the
output directory and reopens stdout as that file.
The original function to get the oneline description,
get_oneline_for_filename(), has been renamed to get_patch_filename() to
reflect its new functionality.

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.

This fix deliberately ignores log.showroot configuration variable because
"format-patch" and "log -p" can and should behave differently in this
case, as the former is about exporting a part of your history in a form
that is replayable elsewhere and just giving the commit log message
without the patch text does not make any sense for that purpose.
