With this, you can simplify history not by the contents of the tree, but
whether a commit has been named (ie it's referred to by some branch or
tag) or not.
This makes it possible to see the relationship between different named
commits, without actually seeing any of the details.
When used with pathspec, you would get the usual view that is limited to
the commits that change the contents of the tree plus commits that are
named.

We already support decorating commits by tags or branches that point to
them, but especially when we are looking at multiple branches together,
we sometimes want to see _how_ we reached a particular commit.
We can abuse the '->util' field in the commit to keep track of that as
we walk the commit lists, and get a reasonably useful view into which
branch or tag first reaches that commit.
Of course, if the commit is reachable through multiple sources (which is
common), our particular choice of "first" reachable is entirely random
and depends on the particular path we happened to follow.

When we tried to find commits done by AUTHOR, the first implementation
tried to pattern match a line with "^author .*AUTHOR", which later was
enhanced to strip leading caret and look for "^author AUTHOR" when the
search pattern was anchored at the left end (i.e. --author="^AUTHOR").
This had a few problems:
* When looking for fixed strings (e.g. "git log -F --author=x --grep=y"),
the regexp internally used "^author .*x" would never match anything;
* To match at the end (e.g. "git log --author='google.com>$'"), the
generated regexp has to also match the trailing timestamp part the
commit header lines have. Also, in order to determine if the '$' at
the end means "match at the end of the line" or just a literal dollar
sign (probably backslash-quoted), we would need to parse the regexp
ourselves.
An earlier alternative tried to make sure that a line matches "^author "
(to limit by field name) and the user supplied pattern at the same time.
While it solved the -F problem by introducing a special override for
matching the "^author ", it did not solve the trailing timestamp nor tail
match problem. It also would have matched every commit if --author=author
was asked for, not because the author's email part had this string, but
because every commit header line that talks about the author begins with
that field name, regardleses of who wrote it.
Instead of piling more hacks on top of hacks, this rethinks the grep
machinery that is used to look for strings in the commit header, and makes
sure that (1) field name matches literally at the beginning of the line,
followed by a SP, and (2) the user supplied pattern is matched against the
remainder of the line, excluding the trailing timestamp data.

--reverse did not interact well with --parents, as the included test
case shows: in a history like
A--B.
\ \
`C--M--D
the command
git rev-list --reverse --parents --full-history HEAD
erroneously lists D as having no parents at all. (Without --reverse,
it correctly lists M.)
This is caused by the machinery driving --reverse: it first grabs all
commits through the normal routines, then runs them through the same
routines again, effectively simplifying them twice.
Fix this by moving the --reverse one level up, into get_revision().
This way we can cleanly grab all commits via the normal calls, then
just pop them off the list one by one without interfering with
get_revision_internal().

This has been broken in v1.6.0 due to the reorganization of
the revision option parsing code. The "-i" is completely
ignored, but works fine in "git log --grep -i".
What happens is that the code for "-i" looks for
revs->grep_filter; if it is NULL, we do nothing, since there
are no grep filters. But that is obviously not correct,
since we want it to influence the later --grep option. Doing
it the other way around works, since "-i" just impacts the
existing grep_filter option.
Instead, we now always initialize the grep_filter member and
just fill in options and patterns as we get them. This means
that we can no longer check grep_filter for NULL, but
instead must check the pattern list to see if we have any
actual patterns.

The --full-history traversal keeps all merges in addition to non-merge
commits that touch paths in the given pathspec. This is useful to view
both sides of a merge in a topology like this:
A---M---o
/ /
---O---B
even when A and B makes identical change to the given paths. The revision
traversal without --full-history aims to come up with the simplest history
to explain the final state of the tree, and one of the side branches can
be pruned away.
The behaviour to keep all merges however is inconvenient if neither A nor
B touches the paths we are interested in. --full-history reduces the
topology to:
---O---M---o
in such a case, without removing M.
This adds a post processing phase on top of --full-history traversal to
remove needless merges from the resulting history.
The idea is to compute, for each commit in the "full history" result set,
the commit that should replace it in the simplified history. The commit
to replace it in the final history is determined as follows:
* In any case, we first figure out the replacement commits of parents of
the commit we are looking at. The commit we are looking at is
rewritten as if the replacement commits of its original parents are its
parents. While doing so, we reduce the redundant parents from the
rewritten parent list by not just removing the identical ones, but also
removing a parent that is an ancestor of another parent.
* After the above parent simplification, if the commit is a root commit,
an UNINTERESTING commit, a merge commit, or modifies the paths we are
interested in, then the replacement commit of the commit is itself. In
other words, such a commit is not dropped from the final result.
The first point above essentially means that the history is rewritten in
the bottom up direction. We can rewrite the parent list of a commit only
after we know how all of its parents are rewritten. This means that the
processing needs to happen on the full history (i.e. after limit_list()).

Commands which use parse_options() but also call setup_revisions()
must do their parsing in a two step process:
1. first, they parse all options. Anything unknown goes to
parse_revision_opt() (which calls handle_revision_opt), which
may claim the option or say "I don't recognize this"
2. the non-option remainder goes to setup_revisions() to
actually get turned into revisions
Some revision options are "non-options" in that they must be
parsed in order with their revision counterparts in
setup_revisions(). For example, "--all" functions as a
pseudo-option expanding to all refs, and "--no-walk" affects refs
after it on the command line, but not before. The revision option
parser in step 1 recognizes such options and sets them aside for
later parsing by setup_revisions().
However, the return value used from handle_revision_opt indicated
"I didn't recognize this", which was wrong. It did, and it took
appropriate action (even though that action was just deferring it
for later parsing). Thus it should return "yes, I recognized
this."
Previously, these pseudo-options generated an error when used with
parse_options parsers (currently just blame and shortlog). With
this patch, they should work fine, enabling things like "git
shortlog --all".

This attached patch introduces a single bit "use_terminator" in "struct

semantics just like oneline format does.
The function get_commit_format(), which is what parses "--pretty=" option,

use_terminator fields. It used to return the value of type "enum
cmit_fmt", but all the callers assigned it to rev->commit_format.
There are only two cases the code turns use_terminator on. Obviously, the
traditional oneline format (--pretty=oneline) is one of them, and the new
case is --pretty=tformat:... that acts like --pretty=format:... but flips
the bit on.
With this, "--pretty=tformat:%H %s" acts like --pretty=oneline.

The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen
enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused
if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits.
This makes the logic a bit more robust by
- we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we
decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is
entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at
all)
- we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the
destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen
so far)
- we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source
list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want
to look at the source.
which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

It's really not very easy to visualize the commit walker, because - on
purpose - it obvously doesn't show the uninteresting commits!
This adds a "--show-all" flag to the revision walker, which will make
it show uninteresting commits too, and they'll have a '^' in front of
them (it also fixes a logic error for !verbose_header for boundary
commits - we should show the '-' even if left_right isn't shown).
A separate patch to gitk to teach it the new '^' was sent
to paulus. With the change in place, it actually is interesting
even for the cases that git doesn't have any problems with, ie
for the kernel you can do:
gitk -d --show-all v2.6.24..
and you see just how far down it has to parse things to see it all. The
use of "-d" is a good idea, since the date-ordered toposort is much better
at showing why it goes deep down (ie the date of some of those commits
after 2.6.24 is much older, because they were merged from trees that
weren't rebased).
So I think this is a useful feature even for non-debugging - just to
visualize what git does internally more.
When it actually breaks out due to the "everybody_uninteresting()"
case, it adds the uninteresting commits (both the one it's looking at
now, and the list of pending ones) to the list
This way, we really list *all* the commits we've looked at.
Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed
at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits
that don't have a commit buffer entry.
That second part is debatable just how it should work. Maybe we shouldn't
show such entries at all (with this patch those entries do get shown, they
just don't get any message shown with them). But I think this is a useful
case.

This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start
from a subdirectory:
$ git diff --relative
shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part. People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.
There are a few things I should also mention about the change:
- This works not just with diff but also works with the log
family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.
In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:
$ git log --relative -p
but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving
pathspec yourself:
$ git log --relative -p .
This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
but show the changes with full context. I think it makes
more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.
- Because this works also with the log family, you could
format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
subdirectory, like so:
$ cd gitk-git
$ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb
But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
never become the default, with or without repository or user
preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial
patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
so.
- This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
combined use of the options, but probably I should.

This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an

Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with

different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit. Until we

This makes --early-output a bit more advanced, and actually makes it
generate multiple "Final output:" headers as it updates things
asynchronously. I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical,
since it's not really final until it also says "done", but
It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit
list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of
commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be
completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant
to be exact.
So what happens is that you may get output like this:
- at 0.1 seconds:
Final output: 2 incomplete
.. 2 commits listed ..
- half a second later:
Final output: 33 incomplete
.. 33 commits listed ..
- another half a second after that:
Final output: 71 incomplete
.. 71 commits listed ..
- another half second later:
Final output: 136 incomplete
.. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and
.. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not
.. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much
.. early output as you asked for!
- .. and then finally:
Final output: 73106 done
.. all the commits ..
The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having
