2019-08-01log: flip the --mailmap default unconditionallyJunio C Hamano
It turns out that being cautious to warn against upcoming default change was an unpopular behaviour, and such a care can easily be defeated by distro packagers to render it ineffective anyway.

2019-05-17format-patch: teach format.notes config optionDenton Liu
In git-format-patch, notes can be appended with the `--notes` option. However, this must be specified by the user on an invocation-by-invocation basis. If a user is not careful, it's possible that they may forget to include it and generate a patch series without notes. Teach git-format-patch the `format.notes` config option. Its value is a notes ref that will be automatically appended. The special value of "standard" can be used to specify the standard notes. This option is overridable with the `--no-notes` option in case a user wishes not to append notes. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu <liu.denton@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We weren't flushing the context each time we processed a hunk in the patch-id generation code in diff.c, but we were doing that when we generated "stable" patch-ids with the 'patch-id' tool. Let's port that similar logic over from patch-id.c into diff.c so we can get the same hash when we're generating patch-ids for 'format-patch --base=' types of command invocations.

2019-03-20log: drop unused "len" from show_tagger()Jeff King
We pass the length of the found "tagger" line to show_tagger(), but it does not use it; instead, it passes the string to pp_user_info(), which reads until newline or NUL. This is OK for our purposes because we always read the object contents into a buffer with an extra NUL (and indeed, our sole caller already relies on this by using starts_with). Let's drop the ignored parameter. And while we're touching the caller, let's use skip_prefix() to avoid a magic number.

2018-12-04range-diff: always pass at least minimal diff optionsMartin Ågren
Commit d8981c3f88 ("format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect --range-diff", 2018-11-30) taught `show_range_diff()` to accept a NULL-pointer as an indication that it should use its own "reasonable default". That fixed a regression from a5170794 ("Merge branch 'ab/range-diff-no-patch'", 2018-11-18), but unfortunately it introduced a regression of its own. In particular, it means we forget the `file` member of the diff options, so rather than placing a range-diff in the cover-letter, we write it to stdout. In order to fix this, rewrite the two callers adjusted by d8981c3f88 to instead create a "dummy" set of diff options where they only fill in the fields we absolutely require, such as output file and color. Modify and extend the existing tests to try and verify that the right contents end up in the right place. Don't revert `show_range_diff()`, i.e., let it keep accepting NULL. Rather than removing what is dead code and figuring out it isn't actually dead and we've broken 2.20, just leave it for now.

2018-11-30format-patch: do not let its diff-options affect --range-diffJunio C Hamano
Stop leaking how the primary output of format-patch is customized to the range-diff machinery and instead let the latter use its own "reasonable default", in order to correct the breakage introduced by a5170794 ("Merge branch 'ab/range-diff-no-patch'", 2018-11-18) on the 'master' front. "git format-patch --range-diff..." without any weird diff option started to include the "range-diff --stat" output, which is rather useless right now, that made the whole thing unusable and this is probably the least disruptive way to whip the codebase into a shippable shape. We may want to later make the range-diff driven by format-patch more configurable, but that would have to wait until we have a good design. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Commit 43662b23ab (format-patch: keep cover-letter diffstat wrapped in 72 columns - 2018-01-24) uncondtionally sets stat width to 72 when generating diffstat for the cover letter, ignoring --stat from command line. But it should only do so when stat width is still default (i.e. stat_width == 0). In order to fix this, we should only set stat_width if stat_width is zero. But it will never be. Commit 071dd0ba43 (format-patch: reduce patch diffstat width to 72 - 2018-02-01) makes sure that default stat width will be 72 (ignoring $COLUMNS, but could still be overriden by --stat).

2018-11-06assert NOARG/NONEG behavior of parse-options callbacksJeff King
When we define a parse-options callback, the flags we put in the option struct must match what the callback expects. For example, a callback which does not handle the "unset" parameter should only be used with PARSE_OPT_NONEG. But since the callback and the option struct are not defined next to each other, it's easy to get this wrong (as earlier patches in this series show). Fortunately, the compiler can help us here: compiling with -Wunused-parameters can show us which callbacks ignore their "unset" parameters (and likewise, ones that ignore "arg" expect to be triggered with PARSE_OPT_NOARG). But after we've inspected a callback and determined that all of its callers use the right flags, what do we do next? We'd like to silence the compiler warning, but do so in a way that will catch any wrong calls in the future. We can do that by actually checking those variables and asserting that they match our expectations. Because this is such a common pattern, we'll introduce some helper macros. The resulting messages aren't as descriptive as we could make them, but the file/line information from BUG() is enough to identify the problem (and anyway, the point is that these should never be seen). Each of the annotated callbacks in this patch triggers -Wunused-parameters, and was manually inspected to make sure all callers use the correct options (so none of these BUGs should be triggerable).

2018-08-29convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()Jeff King
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run, give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete noop with respect to the generated code. The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances here). This patch was generated almost entirely by the included coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()" separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the two are treated equivalently. I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

2018-08-14format-patch: allow --range-diff to apply to a lone-patchEric Sunshine
When submitting a revised version of a patch or series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of a range-diff, typically in the cover letter. However, it is occasionally useful, despite making for a noisy read, to insert a range-diff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. Therefore, extend "git format-patch --range-diff=<refspec>" to insert a range-diff into the commentary section of a lone patch rather than requiring a cover letter. Implementation note: Generating a range-diff for insertion into the commentary section of a patch which itself is currently being generated requires invoking the diffing machinery recursively. However, the machinery does not (presently) support this since it uses global state. Consequently, we need to take care to stash away the state of the in-progress operation while generating the range-diff, and restore it after.

2018-08-14format-patch: extend --range-diff to accept revision rangeEric Sunshine
When submitting a revised a patch series, the --range-diff option embeds a range-diff in the cover letter showing changes since the previous version of the patch series. The argument to --range-diff is a simple revision naming the tip of the previous series, which works fine if the previous and current versions of the patch series share a common base. However, it fails if the revision ranges of the old and new versions of the series are disjoint. To address this shortcoming, extend --range-diff to also accept an explicit revision range for the previous series.

When submitting a revised version of a patch series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of a range-diff, however, doing so involves manually copy/pasting the diff into the cover letter. Add a --range-diff option to automate this process. The argument to --range-diff specifies the tip of the previous attempt against which to generate the range-diff. For example: git format-patch --cover-letter --range-diff=v1 -3 v2 (At this stage, the previous attempt and the patch series being formatted must share a common base, however, a subsequent enhancement will make it possible to specify an explicit revision range for the previous attempt.)

2018-07-23format-patch: allow --interdiff to apply to a lone-patchEric Sunshine
When submitting a revised version of a patch or series, it can be helpful (to reviewers) to include a summary of changes since the previous attempt in the form of an interdiff, typically in the cover letter. However, it is occasionally useful, despite making for a noisy read, to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. Therefore, extend "git format-patch --interdiff=<prev>" to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of a lone patch rather than requiring a cover letter. The interdiff is indented to avoid confusing git-am and human readers into considering it part of the patch proper. Implementation note: Generating an interdiff for insertion into the commentary section of a patch which itself is currently being generated requires invoking the diffing machinery recursively. However, the machinery does not (presently) support this since it uses global state. Consequently, we need to take care to stash away the state of the in-progress operation while generating the interdiff, and restore it after.

2018-07-23interdiff: teach show_interdiff() to indent interdiffEric Sunshine
A future change will allow "git format-patch --interdiff=<prev> -1" to insert an interdiff into the commentary section of the lone patch of a 1-patch series. However, to prevent the inserted interdiff from confusing git-am, as well as human readers, it needs to be indented. Therefore, teach show_interdiff() how to indent.

2018-07-23format-patch: teach --interdiff to respect -v/--reroll-countEric Sunshine
The --interdiff option introduces the embedded interdiff generically as "Interdiff:", however, we can do better when --reroll-count is specified by emitting "Interdiff against v{n}:" instead. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
