All of these options do the same thing "--foo" iterates over
the "foo" refs, and "--foo=<glob>" does the same with a
glob. We can factor this into its own function to avoid
repeating ourselves.
There are two subtleties to note:
- the original called for_each_branch_ref(), etc, in the
non-glob case. Now we will call for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/")
which is exactly what for_each_branch_ref() did under
the hood.
- for --glob, we'll call for_each_glob_ref_in() with a
NULL "prefix" argument. Which is exactly what
for_each_glob_ref() was doing already.
So both cases should behave identically, and it seems
reasonable to assume that this will remain the same. The
functions we are calling now are the more-generic ones, and
the ones we are dropping are just convenience wrappers.

We can't just use a bare skip_prefix() for these cases,
because we need to match both the "--foo" form and the
"--foo=<value>" form (and tell the difference between the
two in the caller).
We can wrap this in a simple helper which has two obvious
callsites, and will gain some more in the next patch.
Note that the error output for abbrev-ref changes slightly,
as we don't keep our original "arg" pointer. However, the
new output should hopefully be more clear:

In addition to making git_path() aware of certain file names that need
to be handled differently e.g. when running in worktrees, the commit
557bd833bb (git_path(): be aware of file relocation in $GIT_DIR,
2014-11-30) also snuck in a new option for `git rev-parse`:
`--git-path`.
On the face of it, there is no obvious bug in that commit's diff: it
faithfully calls git_path() on the argument and prints it out, i.e. `git
rev-parse --git-path <filename>` has the same precise behavior as
calling `git_path("<filename>")` in C.
The problem lies deeper, much deeper. In hindsight (which is always
unfair), implementing the .git/ directory discovery in
`setup_git_directory()` by changing the working directory may have
allowed us to avoid passing around a struct that contains information
about the current repository, but it bought us many, many problems.
In this case, when being called in a subdirectory, `git rev-parse`
changes the working directory to the top-level directory before calling
`git_path()`. In the new working directory, the result is correct. But
in the working directory of the calling script, it is incorrect.
Example: when calling `git rev-parse --git-path HEAD` in, say, the
Documentation/ subdirectory of Git's own source code, the string
`.git/HEAD` is printed.
Side note: that bug is hidden when running in a subdirectory of a
worktree that was added by the `git worktree` command: in that case, the
(correct) absolute path of the `HEAD` file is printed.
In the interest of time, this patch does not go the "correct" route to
introduce a struct with repository information (and removing global
state in the process), instead this patch chooses to detect when the
command was called in a subdirectory and forces the result to be an
absolute path.
While at it, we are also fixing the output of --git-common-dir and
--shared-index-path.
Lastly, please note that we reuse the same strbuf for all of the
relative_path() calls; this avoids frequent allocation (and duplicated
code), and it does not risk memory leaks, for two reasons: 1) the
cmd_rev_parse() function does not return anywhere between the use of
the new strbuf instance and its final release, and 2) git-rev-parse is
one of these "one-shot" programs in Git, i.e. it exits after running
for a very short time, meaning that all allocated memory is released
with the exit() call anyway.

The output of 'git rev-parse --git-dir' can be either a relative or an
absolute path, depending on whether the current working directory is
at the top of the worktree or the .git directory or not, or how the
path to the repository is specified via the '--git-dir=<path>' option
or the $GIT_DIR environment variable. And if that output is a
relative path, then it is relative to the directory where any 'git
-C <path>' options might have led us.
This doesn't matter at all for regular scripts, because the git
wrapper automatically takes care of changing directories according to
the '-C <path>' options, and the scripts can then simply follow any
path returned by 'git rev-parse --git-dir', even if it's a relative
path.
Our Bash completion script, however, is unique in that it must run
directly in the user's interactive shell environment. This means that
it's not executed through the git wrapper and would have to take care
of any '-C <path> options on its own, and it can't just change
directories as it pleases. Consequently, adding support for taking
any '-C <path>' options on the command line into account during
completion turned out to be considerably more difficult, error prone
and required more subshells and git processes when it had to cope with
a relative path to the .git directory.
Help this rather special use case and teach 'git rev-parse' a new
'--absolute-git-dir' option which always outputs a canonicalized
absolute path to the .git directory, regardless of whether the path is
discovered automatically or is specified via $GIT_DIR or 'git
--git-dir=<path>'.

The try_parent_shorthands() function shows each parent via
show_rev(). We pass the correct parent sha1, but our "name"
parameter still points at the original refname. So asking
for a regular rev-parse works fine (it prints the sha1s),
but asking for the symbolic name gives nonsense like:
$ git rev-parse --symbolic HEAD^-1
HEAD
^HEAD
which is always an empty set of commits. Asking for "^!" is
likewise broken, with the added bonus that its prints ^HEAD
for _each_ parent. And "^@" just prints HEAD repeatedly.
Arguably it would be correct to just pass NULL as the name
here, and always get the parent expressed as a sha1. The
"--symbolic" documentaton claims only "as close to the
original input as possible", and we certainly fallback to
sha1s where necessary. But it's pretty easy to generate a
symbolic name on the fly from the original.

The code that sets custom abbreviation length, in response to
command line argument, often does something like this:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--abbrev=", &arg))
abbrev = atoi(arg);
else if (!strcmp("--abbrev", &arg))
abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
/* make the value sane */
if (abbrev < 0 || 40 < abbrev)
abbrev = ... some sane value ...
However, it is pointless to sanity-check and tweak the value
obtained from DEFAULT_ABBREV. We are going to allow it to be
initially set to -1 to signal that the default abbreviation length
must be auto sized upon the first request to abbreviate, based on
the number of objects in the repository, and when that happens,
rejecting or tweaking a negative value to a "saner" one will
negatively interfere with the auto sizing. The codepaths for
git rev-parse --short <object>
git diff --raw --abbrev
do exactly that; allow them to pass possibly negative abbrevs
intact, that will come from DEFAULT_ABBREV in the future.

Once upon a time, you could use "--local-env-vars" and
"--resolve-git-dir" outside of any git repository, but they
had to come first on the command line. Commit 68889b4
(rev-parse: remove restrictions on some options, 2013-07-21)
put them into the normal option-parsing loop, fixing the
latter. But it inadvertently broke the former, as we call
setup_git_directory() before starting that loop.
We can note that those options don't care even conditionally
about whether we are in a git repo. So it's fine if we
simply wait to setup the repo until we see an option that
needs it.
However, there is one special exception we should make:
historically, rev-parse will set up the repository and read
config even if there are _no_ options. Some of the
tests in t1300 rely on this to check "git -c $config"
parsing. That's not mirroring real-world use, and we could
tweak the test. But t0002 uses a bare "git rev-parse" to
check "are we in a git repository?". It's plausible that
real-world scripts are relying on this.
So let's cover this case specially, and treat an option-less
"rev-parse" as "see if we're in a repo".

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

That is not very helpful as we generally do not want any of the [*=?!]

We allow the user to relocate certain paths out of $GIT_DIR via
environment variables, e.g. GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, GIT_INDEX_FILE and
GIT_GRAFT_FILE. Callers are not supposed to use git_path() or
git_pathdup() to get those paths. Instead they must use
get_object_directory(), get_index_file() and get_graft_file()
respectively. This is inconvenient and could be missed in review (for
example, there's git_path("objects/info/alternates") somewhere in
sha1_file.c).
This patch makes git_path() and git_pathdup() understand those
environment variables. So if you set GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY to /foo/bar,
git_path("objects/abc") should return /foo/bar/abc. The same is done
for the two remaining env variables.
"git rev-parse --git-path" is the wrapper for script use.
This patch kinda reverts a0279e1 (setup_git_env: use git_pathdup

here would result in infinite recursion:

-> get_object_directory() -> oops, git_object_directory is NOT set
yet -> setup_git_env()
I wanted to make git_pathdup_literal() that skips adjust_git_path().
But that won't work because later on when $GIT_COMMON_DIR is

replace $GIT_DIR with $GIT_COMMON_DIR.

When rev-parse looks at whether an argument like "foo..bar" or
"foobar^@" is a difference or parent-shorthand, it internally
munges the arguments so that it can pass the individual rev
arguments to get_sha1(). However, we do not consistently un-munge
the result.
For cases where we do not match (e.g., "doesnotexist..HEAD"), we
would then want to try to treat the argument as a filename.
try_difference gets() this right, and always unmunges in this case.
However, try_parent_shorthand() never unmunges, leading to incorrect
error messages, or even incorrect results:
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar

Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
$ >foobar
$ git rev-parse foobar^@
foobar
For cases where we do match, neither function unmunges. This does
not currently matter, since we are done with the argument. However,
a future patch will do further processing, and this prepares for
it. In addition, it's simply a confusing interface for some cases to

$ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant
fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree.
Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally.
$ git log HEAD:inexistant
fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD'

Print out a trailing newline when --show-prefix is run with cwd
at the top level of the tree which results in an empty prefix.
Behavior is now like --show-cdup.
Fixes an expected failure in t1501.

Check if <path> is a valid git-dir or a valid git-file that points
to a valid git-dir.
We want tests to be independent from the fact that a git-dir may
be a git-file. Thus we changed tests to use this feature.

Instead of barfing, simply ignore bad object names seen in the
input. This is useful when reading from "git notes list" output
that may refer to objects that have already been garbage collected.

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.

9c7304e (print the usage string on stdout instead of stderr,
2010-05-17) broke rev-parse --parseopt: when run with -h, the usage
notice on stdout ended up in the shell eval.
Wrap the usage in a cat <<\EOF ... EOF block when printing to stdout.
I do not expect any usage lines to ever start with EOF so this
shouldn't be an undue burden.

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more
pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab>
Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n)
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c
builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor<tab>
builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c
you get
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil<tab> [type]
builtin/ builtin.h
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to]
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor<tab> [type]
shortlog.c shortlog.o
[torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c
which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying
break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief.
NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an
editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you
won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it
will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off
around 100 choices or something.
So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus
don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can
simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar.
