2018-05-21completion: allow to customize the completable command listNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy

2018-05-21completion: add and use --list-cmds=aliasNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In "git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not really count. A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable. There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before "git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a man page for external commands anyway.

2018-05-21help: use command-list.txt for the source of guidesNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
The help command currently hard codes the list of guides and their summary in C. Let's move this list to command-list.txt. This lets us extract summary lines from Documentation/git*.txt. This also potentially lets us list guides in git.txt, but I'll leave that for now. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsisNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This lists all recognized commands [1] by category. The group order follows closely git.txt. [1] We may actually show commands that are not built (e.g. if you set NO_PERL you don't have git-instaweb but it's still listed here). I ignore the problem because on Linux a git package could be split anyway. The "git-core" package may not contain git-instaweb even if it's built because it may end up in a separate package. We can't know anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This allows us to select any group of commands by a category defined in command-list.txt. This is an internal/hidden option so we don't have to be picky about the category name or worried about exposing too much. This will be used later by git-completion.bash to retrieve certain command groups. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21completion: implement and use --list-cmds=main,othersNguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting completable commands. It would be much easier for the user to choose to complete _all_ commands instead of the default selection by passing different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash. While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with --list-cmds since it's better suited for this task.

2018-05-21git.c: convert --list-* to --list-cmds=*Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy
Even if these are hidden options, let's make them a bit more generic since we're introducing more listing types shortly. The code is structured to allow combining multiple listing types together because we will soon add more types the 'builtins'. 'parseopt' remains separate because it has separate (SPC) to match git-completion.bash needs and will not combine with others.

2018-05-13add status config and command line options for rename detectionBen Peart
After performing a merge that has conflicts git status will, by default, attempt to detect renames which causes many objects to be examined. In a virtualized repo, those objects do not exist locally so the rename logic triggers them to be fetched from the server. This results in the status call taking hours to complete on very large repos vs seconds with this patch. Add a new config status.renames setting to enable turning off rename detection during status and commit. This setting will default to the value of diff.renames. Add a new config status.renamelimit setting to to enable bounding the time spent finding out inexact renames during status and commit. This setting will default to the value of diff.renamelimit. Add --no-renames command line option to status that enables overriding the config setting from the command line. Add --find-renames[=<n>] command line option to status that enables detecting renames and optionally setting the similarity index.

The current document mentions OBJ_* constants without their actual values.

Similarly, the deltified representation is not documented at all (the "document" is basically patch-delta.c). Translate that C code to English with a bit more about what ofs-delta and ref-delta mean.

2018-05-11get_short_oid: sort ambiguous objects by type, then SHA-1Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Change the output emitted when an ambiguous object is encountered so that we show tags first, then commits, followed by trees, and finally blobs. Within each type we show objects in hashcmp() order. Before this change the objects were only ordered by hashcmp(). The reason for doing this is that the output looks better as a result, e.g. the v2.17.0 tag before this change on "git show e8f2" would display: hint: The candidates are: hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name hint: e8f21d02f7 blob hint: e8f21d577c blob hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0 hint: e8f2867228 blob hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2a35526 blob hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree Now we'll instead show: hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0 hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree hint: e8f21d02f7 blob hint: e8f21d577c blob hint: e8f2867228 blob hint: e8f2a35526 blob Since we show the commit data in the output that's nicely aligned once we sort by object type. The decision to show tags before commits is pretty arbitrary. I don't want to order by object_type since there tags come last after blobs, which doesn't make sense if we want to show the most important things first. I could display them after commits, but it's much less likely that we'll display a tag, so if there is one it makes sense to show it prominently at the top. A note on the implementation: Derrick rightly pointed out[1] that we're bending over backwards here in get_short_oid() to first de-duplicate the list, and then emit it, but could simply do it in one step. The reason for that is that oid_array_for_each_unique() doesn't actually require that the array be sorted by oid_array_sort(), it just needs to be sorted in some order that guarantees that all objects with the same ID are adjacent to one another, which (barring a hash collision, which'll be someone else's problem) the sort_ambiguous() function does. I agree that would be simpler for this code, and had forgotten why I initially wrote it like this[2]. But on further reflection I think it's better to do more work here just so we're not underhandedly using the oid-array API where we lie about the list being sorted. That would break any subsequent use of oid_array_lookup() in subtle ways. I could get around that by hacking the API itself to support this use-case and documenting it, which I did as a WIP patch in [3], but I think it's too much code smell just for this one call site. It's simpler for the API to just introduce a oid_array_for_each() function to eagerly spew out the list without sorting or de-duplication, and then do the de-duplication and sorting in two passes. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20180501130318.58251-1-dstolee@microsoft.com/ 2. https://public-inbox.org/git/876047ze9v.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 3. https://public-inbox.org/git/874ljrzctc.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Helped-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
