In 'git log', the --decorate-refs-exclude option appends a pattern
to a string_list. This list is used to prevent showing some refs
in the decoration output, or even by --simplify-by-decoration.
Users may want to use their refs space to store utility refs that
should not appear in the decoration output. For example, Scalar [1]
runs a background fetch but places the "new" refs inside the
refs/scalar/hidden/<remote>/* refspace instead of refs/<remote>/*
to avoid updating remote refs when the user is not looking. However,
these "hidden" refs appear during regular 'git log' queries.
A similar idea to use "hidden" refs is under consideration for core
Git [2].
Add the 'log.excludeDecoration' config option so users can exclude
some refs from decorations by default instead of needing to use
--decorate-refs-exclude manually. The config value is multi-valued
much like the command-line option. The documentation is careful to
point out that the config value can be overridden by the
--decorate-refs option, even though --decorate-refs-exclude would
always "win" over --decorate-refs.
Since the 'log.excludeDecoration' takes lower precedence to
--decorate-refs, and --decorate-refs-exclude takes higher
precedence, the struct decoration_filter needed another field.
This led also to new logic in load_ref_decorations() and
ref_filter_match().
There are several tests in t4202-log.sh that test the
--decorate-refs-(include|exclude) options, so these are extended.
Since the expected output is already stored as a file, most tests
could simply replace a "--decorate-refs-exclude" option with an
in-line config setting. Other tests involve the precedence of
the config option compared to command-line options and needed more
modification.

When formatting a series of patches using --attach and --cover-letter,
the cover letter lacks the closing MIME boundary, violating RFC 2046.
Certain clients, such as Thunderbird, discard the message body in such a
case.
Since the cover letter is just one part and sending it as
multipart/mixed is not very useful, always emit it as text/plain,
avoiding the boundary problem altogether.

When `log --decorate` is used, git will decorate commits with all
available refs. While in most cases this may give the desired effect,
under some conditions it can lead to excessively verbose output.
Introduce two command line options, `--decorate-refs=<pattern>` and
`--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>` to allow the user to select which
refs are used in decoration.
When "--decorate-refs=<pattern>" is given, only the refs that match the
pattern are used in decoration. The refs that match the pattern when
"--decorate-refs-exclude=<pattern>" is given, are never used in
decoration.
These options follow the same convention for mixing negative and
positive patterns across the system, assuming that the inclusive default
is to match all refs available.
(1) if there is no positive pattern given, pretend as if an
inclusive default positive pattern was given;
(2) for each candidate, reject it if it matches no positive
pattern, or if it matches any one of the negative patterns.
The rules for what is considered a match are slightly different from the
rules used elsewhere.
Commands like `log --glob` assume a trailing '/*' when glob chars are
not present in the pattern. This makes it difficult to specify a single
ref. On the other hand, commands like `describe --match --all` allow
specifying exact refs, but do not have the convenience of allowing
"shorthand refs" like 'refs/heads' or 'heads' to refer to
'refs/heads/*'.
The commands introduced in this patch consider a match if:
(a) the pattern contains globs chars,
and regular pattern matching returns a match.
(b) the pattern does not contain glob chars,
and ref '<pattern>' exists, or if ref exists under '<pattern>/'
This allows both behaviours (allowing single refs and shorthand refs)
yet remaining compatible with existent commands.

Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot,
take the name of a config variable and an offset to the
"slot" name (e.g., "color.branch.plain" is passed along with
"13" to effectively pass "plain"). This is leftover from the
time that these functions would die() on error, and would
want the full variable name for error reporting.
These days they do not use the full variable name at all.
Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural,
and lets us more easily adjust the callers to use skip_prefix
to avoid manually writing offset numbers.
This is effectively a continuation of 9e1a5eb, which did the
same for parse_diff_color_slot. This patch covers all of the
remaining similar constructs.

The get_patch_filename function expects a commit argument
and uses it to get the sanitized subject line when making a
patch filename. However, we also want to use this same
function for the cover letter, which does not have a commit
object. The current solution is to create a fake commit with
the subject "cover letter". Instead, let's make the
get_patch_filename interface more flexibile, and allow
passing a direct subject.

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.

We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to
them, but especially when we are looking at multiple branches together,
we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.
We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.
Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is
common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random
and depends on the particular path we happened to follow.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.
The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like
if (rev->logopt)
show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");
but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.
That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:
while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
free(commit->buffer);
commit->buffer = NULL;
}
so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.
I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.
This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

This basically does a few things that are sadly somewhat interdependent,
and nontrivial to split out
- get rid of "struct log_tree_opt"
The fields in "log_tree_opt" are moved into "struct rev_info", and all
users of log_tree_opt are changed to use the rev_info struct instead.
- add the parsing for the log_tree_opt arguments to "setup_revision()"
- make setup_revision set a flag (revs->diff) if the diff-related
arguments were used. This allows "git log" to decide whether it wants
to show diffs or not.
- make setup_revision() also initialize the diffopt part of rev_info
(which we had from before, but we just didn't initialize it)
- make setup_revision() do all the "finishing touches" on it all (it will
do the proper flag combination logic, and call "diff_setup_done()")
Now, that was the easy and straightforward part.
The slightly more involved part is that some of the programs that want to
use the new-and-improved rev_info parsing don't actually want _commits_,
they may want tree'ish arguments instead. That meant that I had to change
setup_revision() to parse the arguments not into the "revs->commits" list,
but into the "revs->pending_objects" list.
Then, when we do "prepare_revision_walk()", we walk that list, and create
the sorted commit list from there.
This actually cleaned some stuff up, but it's the less obvious part of the
patch, and re-organized the "revision.c" logic somewhat. It actually paves
the way for splitting argument parsing _entirely_ out of "revision.c",
since now the argument parsing really is totally independent of the commit
walking: that didn't use to be true, since there was lots of overlap with
get_commit_reference() handling etc, now the _only_ overlap is the shared
(and trivial) "add_pending_object()" thing.
However, I didn't do that file split, just because I wanted the diff
itself to be smaller, and show the actual changes more clearly. If this
gets accepted, I'll do further cleanups then - that includes the file
split, but also using the new infrastructure to do a nicer "git diff" etc.
Even in this form, it actually ends up removing more lines than it adds.
It's nice to note how simple and straightforward this makes the built-in
"git log" command, even though it continues to support all the diff flags
too. It doesn't get much simpler that this.
I think this is worth merging soonish, because it does allow for future
cleanup and even more sharing of code. However, it obviously touches
"revision.c", which is subtle. I've tested that it passes all the tests we
have, and it passes my "looks sane" detector, but somebody else should
also give it a good look-over.

This separates out the part that deals with one-commit diff-tree
(and --stdin form) into a separate log-tree module.
There are two goals with this. The more important one is to be
able to make this part available to "git log --diff", so that we
can have a native "git whatchanged" command. Another is to
simplify the commit log generation part simpler.
