69ca37d2ab gitweb: Make 'history' view (re)use git_log_generic()
Make git_history use git_log_generic, passing git_history_body as one
of its paramaters.  This required changes to git_log_generic, in
particular passing more things as parameters.

While refactoring common code of 'log', 'shortlog' and 'history' view,
we did unify pagination, using always the form used by 'history' view,
namely
  first * prev * next
in place of
  HEAD * prev * next
used by 'log' and 'shortlog' views.

The 'history' view now supports commit limiting via 'hpb' parameter,
similarly to 'shortlog' (and 'log') view.  Performance of 'history'
view got improved a bit, as it doesn't run git_get_hash_by_path for
"current" version in a loop.  Error detection and reporting for
'history' view changed a bit.

15f0b112d8 gitweb: Refactor common parts of 'log' and 'shortlog' views
Put the common parts of git_log and git_shortlog into git_log_generic
subroutine: git_log and git_shortlog are now thin wrappers calling
git_log_generic with appropriate arguments.

The unification of code responsible for 'log' and 'shorlog' actions
lead to the following changes in gitweb output
 * 'tree' link in page_nav now uses $hash parameter, as was the case
   for 'shortlog' but not for 'log'
 * 'log' view now respect $hash_parent limiting, like 'shortlog' did
 * 'log' view doesn't have special case for empty list anymore, and it
   always uses page_header linking to summary view, like 'shortlog'
   did.

42671caa7d gitweb: Refactor 'log' action generation, adding git_log_body()
Put the main part of 'log' view generation into git_log_body,
similarly how it is done for 'shortlog' and 'history' views (and
also for 'tags' and 'heads' views).

This is preparation for extracting common code between 'log',
'shortlog' and 'history' actions.

1a30582b43 git svn: read global+system config for clone+init
Since $GIT_DIR does not exist when initializing new repositories,
we can follow back to the global and system config files for
git.

The logic for this was originally introduced when
$GIT_DIR/config was the only config file git could read (back
when "git config" was "git repo-config"), so the function is
renamed to "read_git_config" instead of "read_repo_config".

753dc384dc git svn: handle SVN merges from revisions past the tip of the branch
When recording the revisions that it has merged, SVN sets the top
revision to be the latest revision in the repository, which is not
necessarily a revision on the branch that is being merged from.  When
it is not on the branch, git-svn fails to add the extra parent to
represent the merge because it relies on finding the commit on the
branch that corresponds to the top of the SVN merge range.

In order to correctly handle this case, we look for the maximum
revision less than or equal to the top of the SVN merge range that is
actually on the branch being merged from.

[ew: This includes the following (squashed) commit to prevent
     errors during bisect:]

    git-svn: add (failing) test for SVN 1.5+ merge with intervening commit

    This test exposes a bug in git-svn's handling of SVN 1.5+ mergeinfo
    properties.  The problematic case is when there is some commit on an
    unrelated branch after the last commit on the merged-from branch.
    When SVN records the mergeinfo property, it records the latest
    revision in the whole repository, which, in the problematic case, is
    not on the branch it is merging from.

    To trigger the git-svn bug, we modify t9151 to include two SVN merges,
    the second of which has an intervening commit.  The SVN dump was
    generated using SVN 1.6.6 (on Debian squeeze amd64).

a4390ace1a gitk: Fix "git gui blame" invocation when called from top-level directory
When run in the top-level directory of a git repository, "git
rev-parse --git-dir" doesn't return an absolute path, but merely
".git", so the selected file for "git gui blame" has a relative path.
The function make_relative then tries to make the already relative
path relative, which results in a path like "../../../../Makefile"
with as many ".." as there are elements of [pwd].

This regression was introduced by commit 9712b81 (gitk: Fix bugs in
blaming code, 2008-12-06), which fixed "git gui blame" when called from
subdirs.

This also fixes it for bare repositories.

70a5fc443a gitk: Disable checkout of remote branches
At the command line, trying to check out a remote branch gives you a
detailed warning message, but the gitk GUI currently allows it without
any fuss.

Since the GUI is often used by people much less familiar with git, it
seems reasonable to make the GUI more restrictive than the command line,
not less.

This prevents a lot of detached HEAD commits by new users.

51a7e8b654 gitk: Improve appearance of radiobuttons and checkbuttons
Commit 5497f7a23a ("gitk: Add configuration
for UI colour scheme") added a call to tk_setPalette at startup.
Unfortunately, tk_setPalette always chooses a dark red color for
the selectColor value if none is given explicitly, and this makes
checkbuttons and radiobuttons look rather bad.

This restores the previous appearance by specifying selectColor
explicitly.  For light backgrounds we use white for selectColor, and
for dark backgrounds we use black.  The formula and threshold for
distinguishing light from dark are the same as used in tk_setPalette
for choosing the foreground color.

4a5328d644 http-backend: Fix bad treatment of uintmax_t in Content-Length
Our Content-Length needs to report an off_t, which could be larger
precision than size_t on this system (e.g. 32 bit binary built with
64 bit large file support).

We also shouldn't be passing a size_t parameter to printf when
we've used PRIuMAX as the format specifier.

Fix both issues by using uintmax_t for the hdr_int() routine,
allowing strbuf's size_t to automatically upcast, and off_t to
always fit.

Also fixed the copy loop we use inside of send_local_file(), we never
actually updated the size variable so we might as well not use it.

6b59f51b31 give priority to progress messages
In theory it is possible for sideband channel #2 to be delayed if
pack data is quick to come up for sideband channel #1.  And because
data for channel #2 is read only 128 bytes at a time while pack data
is read 8192 bytes at a time, it is possible for many pack blocks to
be sent to the client before the progress message fifo is emptied,
making the situation even worse.  This would result in totally garbled
progress display on the client's console as local progress gets mixed
with partial remote progress lines.

Let's prevent such situations by giving transmission priority to
progress messages over pack data at all times.

a3d023d0a3 Provide a build time default-pager setting
Provide a DEFAULT_PAGER knob so packagers can set the fallback
pager to something appropriate during the build.

Examples:

On (old) solaris systems, /usr/bin/less (typically the first less
found) doesn't understand the default arguments (FXRS), which
forces users to alter their environment (PATH, GIT_PAGER, LESS,
etc) or have a local or global gitconfig before paging works as
expected.

On Debian systems, by policy packages must fall back to the
'pager' command, so that changing the target of the
/usr/bin/pager symlink changes the default pager for all packages
at once.

44fcb4977c Teach git var about GIT_EDITOR
Expose the command used by launch_editor() for scripts to use.
This should allow one to avoid searching for a proper editor
separately in each command.

git_editor(void) uses the logic to decide which editor to use
that used to live in launch_editor().  The function returns NULL
if there is no suitable editor; the caller is expected to issue
an error message when appropriate.

launch_editor() uses git_editor() and gives the error message the
same way as before when EDITOR is not set.

"git var GIT_EDITOR" gives the editor name, or an error message
when there is no appropriate one.

"git var -l" gives GIT_EDITOR=name only if there is an
appropriate editor.

d33738d7d3 Do not use VISUAL editor on dumb terminals
Refuse to use $VISUAL and fall back to $EDITOR if TERM is unset
or set to "dumb".  Traditionally, VISUAL is set to a screen
editor and EDITOR to a line-based editor, which should be more
useful in that situation.

vim, for example, is happy to assume a terminal supports ANSI
sequences even if TERM is dumb (e.g., when running from a text
editor like Acme).  git already refuses to fall back to vi on a
dumb terminal if GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, VISUAL, and EDITOR are
unset, but without this patch, that check is suppressed by
VISUAL=vi.

f2f3a6b802 filter-branch: nearest-ancestor rewriting outside subdir filter
Since a0e4639 (filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with
--subdirectory-filter, 2008-08-12) git-filter-branch has done
nearest-ancestor rewriting when using a --subdirectory-filter.

However, that rewriting strategy is also a useful building block in
other tasks.  For example, if you want to split out a subset of files
from your history, you would typically call

  git filter-branch -- <refs> -- <files>

But this fails for all refs that do not point directly to a commit
that affects <files>, because their referenced commit will not be
rewritten and the ref remains untouched.

The code was already there for the --subdirectory-filter case, so just
introduce an option that enables it independently.

2c1d2d8188 filter-branch: stop special-casing $filter_subdir argument
Handling $filter_subdir in the usual way requires a separate case at
every use, because the variable is empty when unused.

Furthermore, --subdirectory-filter supplies its own '--', and if the user
provided one himself, such as in

  git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter subdir -- --all -- subdir/file

	an extra '--' was used as path filter in the call to git-rev-list that
determines the commits that shall be rewritten.

To keep the argument handling sane, we filter $@ to contain only the
non-revision arguments, and store all revisions in $ref_args.  The
$ref_args are easy to handle since only the SHA1s are needed; the
actual branch names have already been stored in $tempdir/heads at this
point.

An extra separating -- is only required if the user did not provide
any non-revision arguments, as the latter disambiguate the
$filter_subdir following after them (or fail earlier because they are
ambiguous themselves).

Thanks to Johannes Sixt for suggesting this solution.

64b1cb74f8 Introduce usagef() that takes a printf-style format
Some new callers would want to use printf-like formatting, when issuing
their usage messages.  An option is to change usage() itself also be like
printf(), which would make it similar to die() and warn().

But usage() is typically fixed, as opposed to die() and warn() that gives
diagnostics depending on the situation.  Indeed, the majority of strings
given by existing callsites to usage() are fixed strings.  If we were to
make usage() take printf-style format, they all need to be changed to have
"%s" as their first argument.

So instead, introduce usagef() so that limited number of callers can use
it.

http-push already knows how to dump usage if it is given no options, but
it interprets '-h' as the URL to a remote repository:

Dump usage instead.  Humans wanting to pass the URL -h/ to curl for some
reason can use 'git http-push -h/' explicitly.  Scripts expecting to
access an HTTP repository at URL '-h' will break, though.

Also delay finding a git directory until after option parsing, so
"http-push -h" can be used outside any git repository.

d4cb003fff format-patch documentation: Remove diff options that are not useful
To simplify reading the documentation for format-patch, remove the
description of common diff options that are not useful for the
purpose of the command (i.e. "Prepare patches for e-mail submission").

Specifically, this removes the description of the following options:

  --raw
  -z
  --color
  --no-color
  --color-words
  --diff-filter
  -S
  --pickaxe-all
  --pickaxe-regex
  -R
  --relative
  --exit-code
  --quiet

02bc5b03f5 format-patch: Always generate a patch
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.

616f86d713 Let 'git http-fetch -h' show usage outside any git repository
Delay search for a git directory until option parsing has finished.
None of the functions used in option parsing look for or read any
files other than stdin, so this is safe.
