Jeff King 14b9c2b3e3 log: handle --decorate-refs with userformat "%d"
In order to show ref decorations, we first have to load them. If you
run:

  git log --decorate

then git-log will recognize the option and load them up front via
cmd_log_init(). Likewise if log.decorate is set.

If you don't say --decorate explicitly, but do mention "%d" or "%D" in
the output format, like so:

  git log --format=%d

then this also works, because we lazy-load the ref decorations. This has
been true since 3b3d443feb (add '%d' pretty format specifier to show
decoration, 2008-09-04), though the lazy-load was later moved into
log-tree.c.

But there's one problem: that lazy-load just uses the defaults; it
doesn't take into account any --decorate-refs options (or its exclude
variant, or their config). So this does not work:

  git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d

It will decorate using all refs, not just the specified ones. This has
been true since --decorate-refs was added in 65516f586b (log: add option
to choose which refs to decorate, 2017-11-21). Adding further confusion
is that it _may_ work because of the auto-decoration feature. If that's
in use (and it often is, as it's the default), then if the output is
going to stdout, we do enable decorations early (and so load them up
front, respecting the extra options). But otherwise we do not. So:

  git log --decorate-refs=whatever --format=%d >some-file

would typically behave differently than it does when the output goes to
the pager or terminal!

The solution is simple: we should recognize in cmd_log_init() that we're
going to show decorations, and make sure we load them there. We already
check userformat_find_requirements(), so we can couple this with our
existing code there.

There are two new tests. The first shows off the actual fix. The second
makes sure that our fix doesn't cause us to stomp on an existing
--decorate option (see the new comment in the code, as well).

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
