Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree
the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option
to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first
message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series).
The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known
commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody
else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are
well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit"
that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order
before the patches can be applied.
The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of
the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as
"prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can
be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable"
command.
Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known
patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch
series A, B, C, the history would be like:
---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C
With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with
"--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the
range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the
first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the
cover letter), like this:
base-commit: P
prerequisite-patch-id: X
prerequisite-patch-id: Y
prerequisite-patch-id: Z

When "git log" shows the log message indented by 4-spaces, the
remainder of a line after a HT does not align in the way the author
originally intended. The command now expands tabs by default in
such a case, and allows the users to override it with a new option,
'--no-expand-tabs'.
* lt/pretty-expand-tabs:
pretty: test --expand-tabs
pretty: allow tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs
pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formats
pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
"git log --pretty={medium,full,fuller}" and "git log" by default
prepend 4 spaces to the log message, so it makes sense to enable
the new "expand-tabs" facility by default for these formats.
Add --no-expand-tabs option to override the new default.
The change alone breaks a test in t4201 that runs "git shortlog"
on the output from "git log", and expects that the output from
"git log" does not do such a tab expansion. Adjust the test to
explicitly disable expand-tabs with --no-expand-tabs.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

The case of usage of this configuration option can be convenience
to not pass every time -o/--output-directory if an user has pattern
to store all patches in the /patches directory for example.
The format.outputDirectory has lower priority than command line

When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to
ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before
appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the
intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete.
Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but
there are two things to note:
- in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is
non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory
access). These were generally not triggerable in
practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically
because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(),
which would choke on an empty path.
- in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len"
or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is
not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the
same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that
the strbuf does not change between the assignment and
the strbuf_complete call.
This does not convert cases which look like:
if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1]))
strbuf_addch(sb, '/');
as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these
cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of
scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no
behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier
to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for
strbuf_complete).

We defaulted to ignoring merge diffs because long long ago, in a
galaxy far away, we didn't have a great way to show the diffs. The
whole "--cc" option goes back to January '06 and commit d8f4790e6f
("diff-tree --cc: denser combined diff output for a merge commit").
And before that option - so for about 8 months - we had no good way
to show the diffs of merges in a good dense way. So the whole
"don't show diffs for merges by default" actually made a lot of
sense originally, because our merge diffs were not very useful.
And this was carried forward to this day. "git log --cc" still
ignores merge commits, and you need to say "git log -m --cc" to view
a sensible rendition of merge and non-merge commits, even with the
previous change to make "--cc" imply "-p".
Teach "git log" that "--cc" means the user wants to see interesting
changes in merge commits by turning "-m" on.

The "--cc" option to "git log" is clearly a request to show some
sort of combined diff (be it --patch or --raw), but traditionally
we required the command line to explicitly ask for "git log -p --cc".

specified "-p --cc". Formats that do ask for other forms of diff
output, e.g. "log --raw --cc", are not overriden.

The revision walking API allows the callers to tweak its
configuration at the last minute, immediately after all the revision
and pathspec parameters are parsed from the command line but before
the default actions are decided based on them, by defining a "tweak"
callback function when calling setup_revisions(). Traditionally,
this facility was used by "git show" to turn on the patch output
"-p" by default when no diff output option (e.g. "--raw" or "-s" to
squelch the output altogether) is given on the command line, and
further give dense combined diffs "--cc" for merge commits when no
option to countermand it (e.g. "-m" to show pairwise patches).
Recently, "git log" started using the same facility, but we named
the callback function "default_follow_tweak()", as if the only kind
of tweaking we would want for "git log" will forever be limited to
turning "--follow" on by default when told by a configuration
variable. That was myopic.
Rename it to more generic name "log_setup_revisions_tweak()", and
match the one used by show "show_setup_revisions_tweak()".

In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra
information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the
date_mode enum into a struct.
Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass
the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where
necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}"
constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the
enum labels as constants, like:
show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL);
Ideally we could say:
show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL });
but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot
cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an
actual address. Our options are basically:
1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }"
definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes
the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even
have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch
statement).
2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can
be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822",
"date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness
is defined in one place.
3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on
the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to
a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant.
But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not
matter.
This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep
the size of the callers sane.

"git format-patch --ignore-if-in-upstream A..B", when either A or B

This is because the code passes the tips it used for traversal to
clear_commit_marks(), after running a temporary revision traversal
to enumerate the commits on both branches to find if they have
commits that make equivalent changes. The revision traversal
machinery knows how to enumerate commits reachable starting from a
tag, but clear_commit_marks() wants to take nothing but a commit.
In the longer term, it might be a more correct fix to teach
clear_commit_marks() to do the same "committish to commit"
dereferencing that is done in the revision traversal machinery,
but for now this fix should suffice.

The parse_options API expects an array of alternative usage lines
to which it automatically ads the language-appropriate "or" when
displaying. Each of these options is marked for translation with N_
and then later translated when gettext is called on each element
of the array.
Since the N_ macro just expands to its argument, if two N_-marked
strings appear next to each other without being separated by anything
else such as a comma, the preprocessor will join them into one string.
In that case two separate strings get marked for translation, but at
runtime they have been joined into a single string passed to gettext
which then fails to get translated because the combined string was
never marked for translation.
Fix this by properly separating the two N_ marked strings with
a comma and removing the embedded "\n" and " or:" that are
properly supplied by the parse_options API.

rename_ref: don't ask read_ref_full where the ref came from

resolve_ref_unsafe takes a boolean argument for reading (a nonexistent ref
resolves successfully for writing but not for reading). Change this to be
a flags field instead, and pass the new constant RESOLVE_REF_READING when
we want this behaviour.
While at it, swap two of the arguments in the function to put output
arguments at the end. As a nice side effect, this ensures that we can
catch callers that were unaware of the new API so they can be audited.

Many config-parsing helpers, like parse_branch_color_slot,
take the name of a config variable and an offset to the

Passing a single pointer to the slot name is more natural,

Most callsites which use the commit buffer try to use the
cached version attached to the commit, rather than
re-reading from disk. Unfortunately, that interface provides
only a pointer to the NUL-terminated buffer, with no
indication of the original length.
For the most part, this doesn't matter. People do not put
NULs in their commit messages, and the log code is happy to
treat it all as a NUL-terminated string. However, some code
paths do care. For example, when checking signatures, we
want to be very careful that we verify all the bytes to
avoid malicious trickery.
This patch just adds an optional "size" out-pointer to
get_commit_buffer and friends. The existing callers all pass

This converts two lines into one at each caller. But more
importantly, it abstracts the concept of freeing the buffer,
which will make it easier to change later.
Note that we also need to provide a "detach" mechanism for a
tricky case in index-pack. We are passed a buffer for the
object generated by processing the incoming pack. If we are
not using --strict, we just calculate the sha1 on that
buffer and return, leaving the caller to free it. But if we
are using --strict, we actually attach that buffer to an
object, pass the object to the fsck functions, and then
detach the buffer from the object again (so that the caller
can free it as usual). In this case, we don't want to free
the buffer ourselves, but just make sure it is no longer
associated with the commit.
Note that we are making the assumption here that the
attach/detach process does not impact the buffer at all
(e.g., it is never reallocated or modified). That holds true
now, and we have no plans to change that. However, as we

When we print an email signature, we print the divider
"-- \n", then the signature string, then two newlines.
Usually the signature is a one-liner (and the default is just the
git version), so the extra newline makes sense. But one could
easily specify a multi-line signature, like this:
git format-patch --signature='this is my long signature
it has multiple lines
' ...
and it may end with its own newline, in which case we do not have
to add yet another one.

Because of the way "--follow" is implemented, we must have
exactly one pathspec. "git log" enforces this restriction,
but other users of the revision traversal code do not. For
example, "git format-patch --follow" will segfault during
try_to_follow_renames, as we have no pathspecs at all.
We can push this check down into diff_setup_done, which is
probably a better place anyway. It is the diff code that
introduces this restriction, so other parts of the code
should not need to care themselves.

This patch allows users to use the short form -q on
log and format-patch, which was non possible before.
Also the documentation of format-patch mentions -q now.
The documentation of log doesn't even talk about --quiet, so I'll leave
that for more experienced git contributors. ;)
It doesn't seem to change the default behavior, but in combination
with --stat for example it suppresses the actual stats.
however the only relevant code in log is

As of b04ba2bb4 OPTION_BOOLEAN was deprecated.
This commit removes all occurrences of OPTION_BOOLEAN.
In b04ba2bb4 Junio suggested to replace it with either
OPTION_SET_INT or OPTION_COUNTUP instead. However a pattern, which
occurred often with the OPTION_BOOLEAN was a hidden boolean parameter.
So I defined OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL as an additional possible parse option
in parse-options.h to make life easy.
The OPT_HIDDEN_BOOL was used in checkout, clone, commit, show-ref.
The only exception, where there was need to fiddle with OPTION_SET_INT
was log and notes. However in these two files there is also a pattern,
so we could think of introducing OPT_NONEG_BOOL.

Format-patch generates emails with the "From" address set to the
author of each patch. If you are going to send the emails, however,
you would want to replace the author identity with yours (if they
are not the same), and bump the author identity to an in-body
header.
Normally this is handled by git-send-email, which does the
transformation before sending out the emails. However, some
workflows may not use send-email (e.g., imap-send, or a custom
script which feeds the mbox to a non-git MUA). They could each
implement this feature themselves, but getting it right is
non-trivial (one must canonicalize the identities by reversing any
RFC2047 encoding or RFC822 quoting of the headers, which has caused
many bugs in send-email over the years).
This patch takes a different approach: it teaches format-patch a
"--from" option which handles the ident check and in-body header
while it is writing out the email. It's much simpler to do at this
level (because we haven't done any quoting yet), and any workflow
based on format-patch can easily turn it on.

"git log" learned the "--author-date-order" option, with which the
output is topologically sorted and commits in parallel histories
are shown intermixed together based on the author timestamp.
* jc/topo-author-date-sort:
t6003: add --author-date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to set author dates as well
t6003: add --date-order test
topology tests: teach a helper to take abbreviated timestamps
t/lib-t6000: style fixes
log: --author-date-order
sort-in-topological-order: use prio-queue
prio-queue: priority queue of pointers to structs
toposort: rename "lifo" field
The primary invariant of sort_in_topological_order() is that a
parent commit is not emitted until all children of it are. When
traversing a forked history like this with "git log C E":
A----B----C
\
D----E
we ensure that A is emitted after all of B, C, D, and E are done, B
has to wait until C is done, and D has to wait until E is done.
In some applications, however, we would further want to control how
these child commits B, C, D and E on two parallel ancestry chains
are shown.
Most of the time, we would want to see C and B emitted together, and
then E and D, and finally A (i.e. the --topo-order output). The
"lifo" parameter of the sort_in_topological_order() function is used
to control this behaviour. We start the traversal by knowing two
commits, C and E. While keeping in mind that we also need to
inspect E later, we pick C first to inspect, and we notice and
record that B needs to be inspected. By structuring the "work to be
done" set as a LIFO stack, we ensure that B is inspected next,
before other in-flight commits we had known that we will need to
inspect, e.g. E.
When showing in --date-order, we would want to see commits ordered
by timestamps, i.e. show C, E, B and D in this order before showing
A, possibly mixing commits from two parallel histories together.
When "lifo" parameter is set to false, the function keeps the "work
to be done" set sorted in the date order to realize this semantics.
After inspecting C, we add B to the "work to be done" set, but the
next commit we inspect from the set is E which is newer than B.
The name "lifo", however, is too strongly tied to the way how the
function implements its behaviour, and does not describe what the
behaviour _means_.
Replace this field with an enum rev_sort_order, with two possible
values: REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER and REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE, and
update the existing code. The mechanical replacement rule is:
"lifo == 0" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_BY_COMMIT_DATE"
"lifo == 1" is equivalent to "sort_order == REV_SORT_IN_GRAPH_ORDER"

The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:
* Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.
* You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
touched_flags field;
* And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
which bits the user touched;
* There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.
The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b). This is used in two
contexts:
* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.
The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff(). It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P. It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.
The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs. At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching. We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.
This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery. This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.
Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain. Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff. However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

The --reroll-count=$N option, when given a positive integer:
- Adds " v$N" to the subject prefix specified. As the default
subject prefix string is "PATCH", --reroll-count=2 makes it
"PATCH v2".
- Prefixes "v$N-" to the names used for output files. The cover
letter, whose name is usually 0000-cover-letter.patch, becomes
v2-0000-cover-letter.patch when given --reroll-count=2.
This allows users to use the same --output-directory for multiple
iterations of the same series, without letting the output for a
newer round overwrite output files from the earlier rounds. The
user can incorporate materials from earlier rounds to update the
newly minted iteration, and use "send-email v2-*.patch" to send out
