Introduce --min-parents and --max-parents options which limit the
revisions to those commits which have at least (or at most) that many
commits, where negative arguments for --max-parents= denote infinity
(i.e. no upper limit).
In particular:
--max-parents=1 is the same as --no-merges;
--min-parents=2 is the same as --merges;
--max-parents=0 shows only roots; and
--min-parents=3 shows only octopus merges
Using --min-parents=n and --max-parents=m with n>m gives you what you ask
for (i.e. nothing) for obvious reasons, just like when you give --merges
(show only merge commits) and --no-merges (show only non-merge commits) at
the same time.
Also, introduce --no-min-parents and --no-max-parents to do the obvious
thing for convenience.
We compute the number of parents only when we limit by that, so there
is no performance impact when there are no limiters.

The reflog-walking mechanism is based on the regular
revision traversal. We just rewrite the parents of each
commit in fake_reflog_parent to point to the commit in the
next reflog entry instead of the real parents.
However, the regular revision traversal tries not to show
the same commit twice, and so sets the SHOWN flag on each
commit it shows. In a reflog, however, we may want to see
the same commit more than once if it appears in the reflog
multiple times (which easily happens, for example, if you do
a reset to a prior state).
The fake_reflog_parent function takes care of this by
clearing flags, including SHOWN. Unfortunately, it does so
at the very end of the function, and it is possible to
return early from the function if there is no fake parent to
set up (e.g., because we are at the very first reflog entry
on the branch). In such a case the flag is not cleared, and
the entry is skipped by the revision traversal machinery as
already shown.
You can see this by walking the log of a ref which is set to
its very first commit more than once (the test below shows
such a situation). In this case the reflog walk will fail to
show the entry for the initial creation of the ref.
We don't want to simply move the flag-clearing to the top of
the function; we want to make sure flags set during the
fake-parent installation are also cleared. Instead, let's
hoist the flag-clearing out of the fake_reflog_parent
function entirely. It's not really about fake parents
anyway, and the only caller is the get_revision machinery.

Choice (3) works because both commits are listed on the command line.
Choices (1) and (2) have worked ever since v1.6.4-rc~3 (Make 'git

"rev-list A..H" computes the set of commits that are ancestors of H, but
excludes the ones that are ancestors of A. This is useful to see what
happened to the history leading to H since A, in the sense that "what does
H have that did not exist in A" (e.g. when you have a choice to update to
H from A).
x---x---A---B---C <-- topic
/ \
x---x---x---o---o---o---o---M---D---E---F---G <-- dev
/ \
x---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---N---H <-- master
The result in the above example would be the commits marked with caps
letters (except for A itself, of course), and the ones marked with 'o'.
When you want to find out what commits in H are contaminated with the bug
introduced by A and need fixing, however, you might want to view only the
subset of "A..B" that are actually descendants of A, i.e. excluding the
ones marked with 'o'. Introduce a new option --ancestry-path to compute
this set with "rev-list --ancestry-path A..B".
Note that in practice, you would build a fix immediately on top of A and
"git branch --contains A" will give the names of branches that you would
need to merge the fix into (i.e. topic, dev and master), so this may not
be worth paying the extra cost of postprocessing.

Traditionally, "show" defaulted to "show --cc" (dense combined patch), but
asking for combined patch with "show -c" didn't turn the patch output
format on; the placement of this logic in setup_revisions() dates back to
cd2bdc5 (Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friends,
2006-04-14).
This unfortunately cannot be done as a trivial change of "if dense
combined is asked, default to patch format" done in setup_revisions() to
"if any combined is asked, default to patch format", as "diff-tree -c"
needs to default to raw, while "diff-tree --cc" needs to default to patch,
and they share the codepath. These command specific defaults are now
handled in the new "tweak" callback that can be customized by individual

The --cherry-pick logic starts by counting the commits on each side,
so that it can filter away commits on the bigger one. However, so
far it missed an opportunity for optimization: it doesn't need to do

Historically, any grep filter in "git log" family of commands were taken
as restricting to commits with any of the words in the commit log message.
However, the user almost always want to find commits "done by this person
on that topic". With "--all-match" option, a series of grep patterns can
be turned into a requirement that all of them must produce a match, but
that makes it impossible to ask for "done by me, on either this or that"
with:
log --author=me --committer=him --grep=this --grep=that
because it will require both "this" and "that" to appear.
Change the "header" parser of grep library to treat the headers specially,
and parse it as:
(all-match-OR (HEADER-AUTHOR me)
(HEADER-COMMITTER him)
(OR
(PATTERN this)
(PATTERN that) ) )
Even though the "log" command line parser doesn't give direct access to
the extended grep syntax to group terms with parentheses, this change will
cover the majority of the case the users would want.
This incidentally revealed that one test in t7002 was bogus. It ran:
log --author=Thor --grep=Thu --format='%s'
and expected (wrongly) "Thu" to match "Thursday" in the author/committer
date, but that would never match, as the timestamp in raw commit buffer
does not have the name of the day-of-the-week.

Giving "Notes" information in the default output format of "log" and
"show" is a sensible progress (the user has asked for it by having the
notes), but for some commands (e.g. "format-patch") spewing notes into the
formatted commit log message without being asked is too aggressive.
Enable notes output only for "log", "show", "whatchanged" by default and
only when the user didn't ask any specific --pretty/--format from the
command line; users can explicitly override this default with --show-notes
and --no-notes option.

In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for

New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),
the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its

When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to

When we show a reflog, we have two ways of naming the entry:
by sequence number (e.g., HEAD@{0}) or by date (e.g.,
HEAD@{10 minutes ago}). There is no explicit option to set
one or the other, but we guess based on whether or not the
user has provided us with a date format, showing them the
date version if they have done so, and the sequence number
otherwise.
This usually made sense if the use did something like "git
log -g --date=relative". However, it didn't make much sense
if the user set the date format using the log.date config
variable; in that case, all of their reflogs would end up as
dates.

For some reason, I ended up doing
git show HEAD~5..
as an odd way of asking for a log. I realize I should just have used "git
log", but at the same time it does make perfect conceptual sense. After
all, you _could_ have done
git show HEAD HEAD~1 HEAD~2 HEAD~3 HEAD~4
and saying "git show HEAD~5.." is pretty natural. It's not like "git show"
only ever showed a single commit (or other object) before either! So
conceptually, giving a commit range is a very sensible operation, even
though you'd traditionally have used "git log" for that.
However, doing that currently results in an error
fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions
which admittedly _also_ makes perfect sense - from an internal git
implementation standpoint in 'revision.c'.
However, I think that asking to show a range makes sense to a user, while
saying "object ranges no not make sense when not walking revisions" only
makes sense to a git developer.
So on the whole, of the two different "makes perfect sense" behaviors, I
think I originally picked the wrong one. And quite frankly, I don't really
see anybody actually _depending_ on that error case. So why not change it?
So rather than error out, just turn that non-walking error case into a
"silently turn on walking" instead.

I do various statistics on git, and one of the things I look at is merges,
because they are often interesting events to count ("how many merges vs
how much 'real development'" kind of statistics). And you can do it with
some fairly straightforward scripting, ie
git rev-list --parents HEAD |
grep ' .* ' |
git diff-tree --always -s --pretty=oneline --stdin |
less -S
will do it.
But I finally got irritated with the fact that we can skip merges with
'--no-merges', but we can't do the trivial reverse operation.
So this just adds a '--merges' flag that _only_ shows merges. Now you can
do the above with just a
git log --merges --pretty=oneline
which is a lot simpler. It also means that we automatically get a lot of
statistics for free, eg
git shortlog -ns --merges
does exactly what you'd want it to do.

This simplifies the logic of rev_compare_tree() by removing a special

It does so by turning the special case of finding a diff to be "all new

changes", so now the code is actually more powerful and more generic, and
the added symmetry actually makes it simpler too.

Here's a less trivial thing, and slightly more dubious one.
I was looking at that "struct object_array objects", and wondering why we
do that. I have honestly totally forgotten. Why not just call the "show()"
function as we encounter the objects? Rather than add the objects to the
object_array, and then at the very end going through the array and doing a
'show' on all, just do things more incrementally.
Now, there are possible downsides to this:
- the "buffer using object_array" _can_ in theory result in at least
better I-cache usage (two tight loops rather than one more spread out
one). I don't think this is a real issue, but in theory..
- this _does_ change the order of the objects printed. Instead of doing a
"process_tree(revs, commit->tree, &objects, NULL, "");" in the loop
over the commits (which puts all the root trees _first_ in the object
list, this patch just adds them to the list of pending objects, and
then we'll traverse them in that order (and thus show each root tree
object together with the objects we discover under it)
I _think_ the new ordering actually makes more sense, but the object
ordering is actually a subtle thing when it comes to packing
efficiency, so any change in order is going to have implications for
packing. Good or bad, I dunno.
- There may be some reason why we did it that odd way with the object
array, that I have simply forgotten.
Anyway, now that we don't buffer up the objects before showing them
that may actually result in lower memory usage during that whole
traverse_commit_list() phase.
This is seriously not very deeply tested. It makes sense to me, it seems
to pass all the tests, it looks ok, but...
Does anybody remember why we did that "object_array" thing? It used to be
an "object_list" a long long time ago, but got changed into the array due
to better memory usage patterns (those linked lists of obejcts are
horrible from a memory allocation standpoint). But I wonder why we didn't
do this back then. Maybe there's a reason for it.
Or maybe there _used_ to be a reason, and no longer is.

In particular, pushing the "path_name()" call _into_ the show() function
would seem to allow
- more clarity into who "owns" the name (ie now when we free the name in
the show_object callback, it's because we generated it ourselves by
calling path_name())
- not calling path_name() at all, either because we don't care about the
name in the first place, or because we are actually happy walking the
linked list of "struct name_path *" and the last component.
Now, I didn't do that latter optimization, because it would require some
more coding, but especially looking at "builtin-pack-objects.c", we really
don't even want the whole pathname, we really would be better off with the
list of path components.
Why? We use that name for two things:
- add_preferred_base_object(), which actually _wants_ to traverse the
path, and now does it by looking for '/' characters!
- for 'name_hash()', which only cares about the last 16 characters of a
name, so again, generating the full name seems to be just unnecessary
work.
Anyway, so I didn't look any closer at those things, but it did convince
me that the "show_object()" calling convention was crazy, and we're
actually better off doing _less_ in list-objects.c, and giving people
access to the internal data structures so that they can decide whether
they want to generate a path-name or not.
This patch does that, and then for people who did use the name (even if
they might do something more clever in the future), it just does the
