"git log" family learned "--pretty=reference" that gives the name
of a commit in the format that is often used to refer to it in log
messages.
* dl/pretty-reference:
SubmittingPatches: use `--pretty=reference`
pretty: implement 'reference' format
pretty: add struct cmt_fmt_map::default_date_mode_type
pretty: provide short date format
t4205: cover `git log --reflog -z` blindspot
pretty.c: inline initalize format_context
revision: make get_revision_mark() return const pointer
completion: complete `tformat:` pretty format
SubmittingPatches: remove dq from commit reference
pretty-formats.txt: use generic terms for hash

Although `--notes=` accepts and handles a tree-ish just fine, it isn't a
common use-case for users to pass in bare trees. By having "treeish", it
makes it harder to click in users' minds that the argument here is the
same type as the `notes.displayRef` configuration variable, for example.
Change `treeish` to `ref` so that it will be easier for users to make
this connection.
Note that we don't completely lose the notion that `--notes=` can accept
a tree-ish. In git-notes.txt, we have
It is also permitted for a notes ref to point directly to a tree
object, in which case the history of the notes can be read with
`git log -p -g <refname>`.
which means that a hardcore user who wants to take advantage of this
obscure use-case will be able to infer the connection and not be
completely left in the dark.

The standard format for referencing other commits within some projects
(such as git.git) is the reference format. This is described in
Documentation/SubmittingPatches as
If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
branch, use the format "abbreviated hash (subject, date)", like this:
....
Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
noticed that ...
....
Since this format is so commonly used, standardize it as a pretty
format.
The tests that are implemented essentially show that the format-string
does not change in response to various log options. This is useful
because, for future developers, it shows that we've considered the
limitations of the "canned format-string" approach and we are fine with
them.

When "git log" shows the log message indented by 4-spaces, the
remainder of a line after a HT does not align in the way the author
originally intended. The command now expands tabs by default in
such a case, and allows the users to override it with a new option,
'--no-expand-tabs'.
* lt/pretty-expand-tabs:
pretty: test --expand-tabs
pretty: allow tweaking tabwidth in --expand-tabs
pretty: enable --expand-tabs by default for selected pretty formats
pretty: expand tabs in indented logs to make things line up properly
|
|
When the local convention of the project is to use tab width that is
not 8, it may make sense to allow "git log --expand-tabs=<n>" to
tweak the output to match it.

"git log --pretty={medium,full,fuller}" and "git log" by default
prepend 4 spaces to the log message, so it makes sense to enable
the new "expand-tabs" facility by default for these formats.
Add --no-expand-tabs option to override the new default.
The change alone breaks a test in t4201 that runs "git shortlog"
on the output from "git log", and expects that the output from
"git log" does not do such a tab expansion. Adjust the test to
explicitly disable expand-tabs with --no-expand-tabs.

A commit log message sometimes tries to line things up using tabs,
assuming fixed-width font with the standard 8-place tab settings.
Viewing such a commit however does not work well in "git log", as
we indent the lines by prefixing 4 spaces in front of them.
This should all line up:
Column 1 Column 2
-------- --------
A B
ABCD EFGH
SPACES Instead of Tabs
Even with multi-byte UTF8 characters:
Column 1 Column 2
-------- --------
Ä B
åäö 100
A Møøse once bit my sister..
Tab-expand the lines in "git log --expand-tabs" output before
prefixing 4 spaces.
This is based on the patch by Linus Torvalds, but at this step, we
require an explicit command line option to enable the behaviour.

init_notes() is the main point of entry to the notes API. It ensures
that the input can be used as ref, because it needs a ref to update to
store notes tree after modifying it.
There however are many use cases where notes tree is only read, e.g.
"git log --notes=...". Any notes-shaped treeish could be used for such
purpose, but it is not allowed due to existing restriction.
Allow treeish expressions to be used in the case the notes tree is going
to be used without write "permissions". Add a flag to distinguish
whether the notes tree is intended to be used read-only, or will be
updated.
With this change, operations that use notes read-only can be fed any
notes-shaped tree-ish can be used, e.g. git log --notes=notes@{1}.

expand_notes_ref is used by --ref from git-notes(1) and --notes from the
git log to find the full refname of a notes reference. Previously the
documentation of these options was not clear about what sorts of
expansions would be performed. Fix the documentation to clearly and
accurately describe the behavior of the expansions.
Add a test for this expansion when using git notes get-ref in order to
prevent future patches from changing this behavior.

The rev-list command does not have the internal
infrastructure to display notes. Running:
git rev-list --notes HEAD
will silently ignore the "--notes" option. Running:
git rev-list --notes --grep=. HEAD
will crash on an assert. Running:
git rev-list --format=%N HEAD
will place a literal "%N" in the output (it does not even
expand to an empty string).
Let's have rev-list tell the user that it cannot fill the
user's request, rather than silently producing wrong data.
Likewise, let's remove mention of the notes options from the
rev-list documentation.

We forgot to list "tformat:<string>" when enumerating possible
values that "--pretty=<format>" can take. It was not described
that "--pretty='string with %s placeholder'" that is not understood
is DWIMmed as "--pretty=tformat:<that string>".
Further, it was unclear what "When omitted, defaults to 'medium'"
was meant. Is it "When --pretty=<something> was not given at all",
or is it "When --pretty is given without =<something>"? Clarify
that it is the latter.

$ git log --encoding
fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value
$ git rev-list --encoding
fatal: Option '--encoding' requires a value
The argument to --encoding has always been mandatory. Unfortunately
manpages like git-rev-list(1), git-log(1), and git-show(1) have
described the option's syntax as "--encoding[=<encoding>]" since it
was first documented. Clarify by removing the extra brackets.

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.
Parts of tests are taken from Jeff King's fix.

When running log/show/whatchanged from the command line, the user may
want to use a preferred format without having to pass --pretty=<fmt>
option every time from the command line. This teaches these three
commands to honor a new configuration variable, format.pretty.
The --pretty option given from the command line will override the
configured format.
The earlier patch fixed the in-tree callers that run these commands
for purposes other than showing the output directly to the end user
(the only other in-tree caller is "git bisect visualize", whose output
directly goes to the end user and should be affected by this patch).
Similar fixes will be needed for end-user scripts that parse the
output from these commands and expect them to be in the default pretty
format.
