b9a0801ad0 Merge branch 'jk/maint-commit-amend-only-no-paths'
"git commit --amend --only --" was meant to allow "Clever" people to
rewrite the commit message without making any change even when they
have already changes for the next commit added to their index, but
it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era.

8647b585d8 Merge branch 'cw/amend-commit-without-message'
"commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log
message, with or without "--allow-empty-message".

* cw/amend-commit-without-message:
  Allow edit of empty message with commit --amend

d9a9357572 Allow edit of empty message with commit --amend
"git commit --amend" used on a commit with an empty message fails
unless -m is given, whether or not --allow-empty-message is
specified.

Allow it to proceed to the editor with an empty commit message.
Unless --allow-empty-message is in force, it will still abort later
if an empty message is saved from the editor (this check was
already necessary to prevent a non-empty commit message being edited
to an empty one).

Add a test for --amend --edit of an empty commit message which fails
without this fix, as it's a rare case that won't get frequently
tested otherwise.

f9bc573fda ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICT
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much
concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all,
we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a
check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up
in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK
for them to end up in things like reflogs).

When future commits add more quality checks on the identity,
each of these callers would want to use those checks, too.
Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag,
let's refactor the flag.

4d2292e9a9 status: refactor colopts handling
The current code reads the config and command-line options
into a separate "colopts" variable, and then copies the
contents of that variable into the "struct wt_status". We
can eliminate the extra variable and copy just write
straight into the wt_status struct.

This simplifies the "status" code a little bit.
Unfortunately, it makes the "commit" code one line more
complex; a side effect of the separate variable was that
"commit" did not copy the colopts variable, so any
column.status configuration had no effect.

The result still ends up cleaner, though. In the previous
version, it was unclear whether commit simply forgot to copy
the colopt variable, or whether it was intentional. Now it
explicitly turns off column options. Furthermore, if commit
later learns to respect column.status, this will make the
end result simpler. I punted on just adding that feature
now, because it was sufficiently non-obvious that it should
not go into a refactoring patch.

d4a6bf1fb6 status: respect "-b" for porcelain format
There is no reason not to, as the user has to explicitly ask
for it, so we are not breaking compatibility by doing so. We
can do this simply by moving the "show_branch" flag into
the wt_status struct. As a bonus, this saves us from passing
it explicitly, simplifying the code.

036dbbfb2d commit: refactor option parsing
The options are declared as a static global, but really they
need only be accessible from cmd_commit.  Additionally,
declare the "struct wt_status" in cmd_commit and cmd_status
as static at the top of each function; this will let the
options lists reference them directly, which will facilitate
further cleanups.

b2eda9bdfb commit: rephrase the error when user did not touch templated log message
When the user exited editor without editing the commit log template given
by "git commit -t <template>", the commit was aborted (correct) with an
error message that said "due to empty commit message" (incorrect).

This was because the original template support was done by piggybacking on
the check to detect an empty log message.  Split the codepaths into two
independent checks to clarify the error.

When "-t template" and "-F msg" options are both given (or worse yet,
there is "commit.template" configuration but a message is given in some
other way), the documentation says that template is ignored.  However,
the "has the user edited the message?" check still used the contents of
the template file as the basis of the emptyness check.

7dfe8ad600 commit: pass author/committer info to hooks
When lying the author name via GIT_AUTHOR_NAME environment variable
to "git commit", the hooks run by the command saw it and could act
on the name that will be recorded in the final commit. When the user
uses the "--author" option from the command line, the command should
give the same information to the hook, and back when "git command"
was a scripted Porcelain, it did set the environment variable and
hooks can learn the author name from it.

However, when the command was reimplemented in C, the rewritten code
was not very faithful to the original, and hooks stopped getting the
authorship information given with "--author".  Fix this by exporting
the necessary environment variables.

2c733fb24c parse_date(): '@' prefix forces git-timestamp
The only place that the issue this series addresses was observed
where we read "cat-file commit" output and put it in GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
in order to replay a commit with an ancient timestamp.

With the previous patch alone, "git commit --date='20100917 +0900'"
can be misinterpreted to mean an ancient timestamp, not September in
year 2010.  Guard this codepath by requring an extra '@' in front of
the raw git timestamp on the parsing side. This of course needs to
be compensated by updating get_author_ident_from_commit and the code
for "git commit --amend" to prepend '@' to the string read from the
existing commit in the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE environment variable.

After making fixes to the contents to be committed, it is not unusual to
update the current commit without rewording the message. Idioms to tell

    $ EDITOR=: git commit --amend
    $ git commit --amend -C HEAD

but that was only because a more natural "--no-edit" option in

    $ git commit --amend --no-edit

11c8a74a64 commit: write cache-tree data when writing index anyway
In prepare_index(), we refresh the index, and then write it to disk if
this changed the index data.  After running hooks we re-read the index
and compute the root tree sha1 with the cache-tree machinery.

This gives us a mostly free opportunity to write up-to-date cache-tree
data: we can compute it in prepare_index() immediately before writing
the index to disk.

If we do this, we were going to write the index anyway, and the later
cache-tree update has no further work to do.  If we don't do it, we
don't do any extra work, though we still don't have have cache-tree
data after the commit.

The only case that suffers badly is when the pre-commit hook changes
many trees in the index.  I'm writing this off as highly unusual.

d5a35c114a Copy resolve_ref() return value for longer use
resolve_ref() may return a pointer to a static buffer. Callers that
use this value longer than a couple of statements should copy the
value to avoid some hidden resolve_ref() call that may change the
static buffer's value.

The bug found by Tony Wang <wwwjfy@gmail.com> in builtin/merge.c
demonstrates this. The first call is in cmd_merge()

branch = resolve_ref("HEAD", head_sha1, 0, &flag);

Then deep in lookup_commit_or_die() a few lines after, resolve_ref()
may be called again and destroy "branch".

82433cdf4d revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert
When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available.  For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:

	$ git revert 2eceb2a8
	error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
	$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
	$ edit $(git diff --name-only)

Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this.  This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.

After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

ba3c69a9ee commit: teach --gpg-sign option
This uses the gpg-interface.[ch] to allow signing the commit, i.e.

    $ git commit --gpg-sign -m foo
    You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
    user: "Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>"
    4096-bit RSA key, ID 96AFE6CB, created 2011-10-03 (main key ID 713660A7)

The lines of GPG detached signature are placed in a new multi-line header
field, instead of tucking the signature block at the end of the commit log
message text (similar to how signed tag is done), for multiple reasons:

 - The signature won't clutter output from "git log" and friends if it is
   in the extra header. If we place it at the end of the log message, we
   would need to teach "git log" and friends to strip the signature block
   with an option.

 - Teaching new versions of "git log" and "gitk" to optionally verify and
   show signatures is cleaner if we structurally know where the signature
   block is (instead of scanning in the commit log message).

 - The signature needs to be stripped upon various commit rewriting
   operations, e.g. rebase, filter-branch, etc. They all already ignore
   unknown headers, but if we place signature in the log message, all of
   these tools (and third-party tools) also need to learn how a signature
   block would look like.

 - When we added the optional encoding header, all the tools (both in tree
   and third-party) that acts on the raw commit object should have been
   fixed to ignore headers they do not understand, so it is not like that
   new header would be more likely to break than extra text in the commit.

A commit made with the above sample sequence would look like this:

    $ git cat-file commit HEAD
    tree 3cd71d90e3db4136e5260ab54599791c4f883b9d
    parent b87755351a47b09cb27d6913e6e0e17e6254a4d4

but "git log" (unless you ask for it with --pretty=raw) output is not
cluttered with the signature information.
