When parsing our buffer of output from git-log, we have a
find_end_of_line() helper that finds the next newline, and gives us the
number of bytes to move past it, or the size of the whole remaining
buffer if there is no newline.
But trying to handle both those cases leads to some oddities:
- we try to overwrite the newline with NUL in the caller, by writing
over line[len-1]. This is at best redundant, since the helper will
already have done so if it saw a newline. But if it didn't see a
newline, it's actively wrong; we'll overwrite the byte at the end of
the (unterminated) line.
We could solve this just dropping the extra NUL assignment in the
caller and just letting the helper do the right thing. But...
- if we see a "diff --git" line, we'll restore the newline on top of
the NUL byte, so we can pass the string to parse_git_diff_header().
But if there was no newline in the first place, we can't do this.
There's no place to put it (the current code writes a newline
over whatever byte we obliterated earlier). The best we can do is
feed the complete remainder of the buffer to the function (which is,
in fact, a string, by virtue of being a strbuf).
To solve this, the caller needs to know whether we actually found a
newline or not. We could modify find_end_of_line() to return that
information, but we can further observe that it has only one caller.
So let's just inline it in that caller.
Nobody seems to have noticed this case, probably because git-log would
never produce input that doesn't end with a newline. Arguably we could
just return an error as soon as we see that the output does not end in a
newline. But the code to do so actually ends up _longer_, mostly because
of the cleanup we have to do in handling the error.

The "offset" variable was was introduced in 44b67cb62b (range-diff:
split lines manually, 2019-07-11), but it has never done anything
useful. We use it to count up the number of bytes we've consumed, but we
never look at the result. It was probably copied accidentally from an
almost-identical loop in apply.c:find_header() (and the point of that
commit was to make use of the parse_git_diff_header() function which
underlies both).
Because the variable was set but not used, most compilers didn't seem to
notice, but the upcoming clang-14 does complain about it, via its
-Wunused-but-set-variable warning.

This reverts commit f5bfcc823b, which
made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that
"-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against
each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save
the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff
automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts
because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree"
that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a
diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for
interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it
would be a pure improvement.
The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant
for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting
path limiting. For example, I might run
git log -w --format=%H -- README
hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only
changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use
of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation
flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this
purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work
Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call
commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In
a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal,
respectively.)
and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes
wouldn't notice.
Similarly, a script author could include
git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README
to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README.
The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For
example, until 1e20a407fe (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git
log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this.
As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of
breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior.
Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this
same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That
script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we
can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

Commit 58634dbff8 ("rebase: Allow merge strategies to be used when
rebasing", 2006-06-21) added the --merge option to git-rebase so that
renames could be detected (at least when using the `recursive` merge
backend). However, git-am -3 gained that same ability in commit
579c9bb198 ("Use merge-recursive in git-am -3.", 2006-12-28). As such,
the comment about being able to detect renames is not particularly
noteworthy. Remove it.

Stating that the recursive strategy "currently cannot make use of
detected copies" implies that this is a technical shortcoming of the
current algorithm. I disagree with that. I don't see how copies could
possibly be used in a sane fashion in a merge algorithm -- would we
propagate changes in one file on one side of history to each copy of
that file when merging? That makes no sense to me. I cannot think of
anything else that would make sense either. Change the wording to
simply state that we ignore any copies.

move the text for the resolve strategy to later in the document.
Further, the wording for "resolve" claimed that it was "considered

the same is not true of other strategies. Rather than adding this text
to all the strategies, just remove it from this one.

A few places in the documentation referred to the "`recursive` strategy"
using the phrase "`git merge-recursive`", suggesting that it was forking
subprocesses to call a toplevel builtin. Perhaps that was relevant to
when rebase was a shell script, but it seems like a rather indirect way
to refer to the `recursive` strategy. Simplify the references.
