We describe the more strict date formats accepted by GIT_COMMITTER_DATE,
etc, but the --date option also allows the looser approxidate formats,
as well. Unfortunately we don't have a good or complete reference for
this format, but let's at least mention that it _is_ looser, and give a
few examples.
If we ever write separate, more complete date-format documentation, we
should refer to it from here.

`git difftool` only allow us to select file to view in turn.
If there is a commit with many files and we exit in the middle,
we will have to traverse list again to get the file diff which
we want to see. Therefore,teach the command an option
`--skip-to=<path>` to allow the user to say that diffs for earlier
paths are not interesting (because they were already seen in an
earlier session) and start this session with the named path.

Both AsciiDoc and Asciidoctor are eager to pick up the e-mail addresses
in this document and turn them into references at the bottom of the
manpage / clickable links. We don't really need that for these dummy
addresses. Spell "@" as "@" to make them not do this. In the open
block, we can instead avoid this by indenting the contents, similar to
the earlier blocks.
Fix a backtick which should have been a single quote mark. With all the
quoting that is going on around here, this mistake trips up the parsing
and rendering quite a bit.
Before this commit, we have the same failure mode with AsciiDoc 8.6.10
and Asciidoctor 1.5.5, and this change makes both of them happy.

We currently don't show any examples of using git-rev-list at all. Let's
add some pretty elementary examples. They likely seem obvious to anybody
who has worked with the tool for a while, but my purpose here is
two-fold:
- they may be enlightening to people who haven't used the tool a lot
to give a general flavor of how it is meant to be used
- they can serve as a starting point for adding more interesting
examples (we can do that without the basic ones, of course, but I
think it makes sense to show off the building blocks)
This set is far from exhaustive, but again, the purpose is to be a
starting point for further additions.

In git-log(1) -- but not in git-shortlog(1) or git-rev-list(1) -- we
include a bonus paragraph in the description of `--first-parent`. But
we forgot to add a lone "+" for a list continuation, and we shouldn't
be indenting this second paragraph. As a result, we get a different
indentation and the `backticks` render literally.

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.
- "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is
no patch for C is shown.
- "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no
patch for C is shown.
- "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the
set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

Currently, the options for the `list` and `show` subcommands are just
listed as `<options>`. This seems to imply, from a cursory glance at the
summary, that they take the stash options listed below. However, reading
more carefully, we see that they take log options and diff options
respectively.
Make it more obvious that they take log and diff options by explicitly
stating this in the subcommand summary.

It can sometimes be useful to see which refs are contributing to the
overall repository size (e.g., does some branch have a bunch of objects
not found elsewhere in history, which indicates that deleting it would
shrink the size of a clone).
You can find that out by generating a list of objects, getting their
sizes from cat-file, and then summing them, like:
git rev-list --objects --no-object-names main..branch
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
Though note that the caveats from git-cat-file(1) apply here. We "blame"
base objects more than their deltas, even though the relationship could
easily be flipped. Still, it can be a useful rough measure.
But one problem is that it's slow to run. Teaching rev-list to sum up
the sizes can be much faster for two reasons:
1. It skips all of the piping of object names and sizes.
2. If bitmaps are in use, for objects that are in the
bitmapped packfile we can skip the oid_object_info()
lookup entirely, and just ask the revindex for the
on-disk size.
This patch implements a --disk-usage option which produces the same
answer in a fraction of the time. Here are some timings using a clone of
torvalds/linux:
[rev-list piped to cat-file, no bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --objects --no-object-names --all |
git cat-file --buffer --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
1459938510
real 0m29.635s
user 0m38.003s
sys 0m1.093s
[internal, no bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all
1459938510
real 0m31.262s
user 0m30.885s
sys 0m0.376s
Even though the wall-clock time is slightly worse due to parallelism,
notice the CPU savings between the two. We saved 21% of the CPU just by
avoiding the pipes.
But the real win is with bitmaps. If we use them without the new option:
[rev-list piped to cat-file, bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --objects --no-object-names --all --use-bitmap-index |
git cat-file --batch-check='%(objectsize:disk)' |
perl -lne '$total += $_; END { print $total }'
1459938510
real 0m6.244s
user 0m8.452s
sys 0m0.311s
then we're faster to generate the list of objects, but we still spend a
lot of time piping and looking things up. But if we do both together:
[internal, bitmaps]
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all --use-bitmap-index
1459938510
real 0m0.219s
user 0m0.169s
sys 0m0.049s
then we get the same answer much faster.
For "--all", that answer will correspond closely to "du objects/pack",
of course. But we're actually checking reachability here, so we're still
fast when we ask for more interesting things:
$ time git rev-list --disk-usage --use-bitmap-index v5.0..v5.10
374798628
real 0m0.429s
user 0m0.356s
sys 0m0.072s

`git help gc` contains this snippet:
"[...] it will keep [..] objects referenced by the index,
remote-tracking branches, notes saved by git notes under refs/notes/"
I had interpreted that as saying that the objects that notes were

When trying to find a .mailmap file, we will always look for it in the
current directory. This makes sense in a repository with a working tree,
since we'd always go to the toplevel directory at startup. But for a
bare repository, it can be confusing. With an option like --git-dir (or
$GIT_DIR in the environment), we don't chdir at all, and we'd read
.mailmap from whatever directory you happened to be in before starting
Git.
(Note that --git-dir without specifying a working tree historically
means "the current directory is the root of the working tree", but most
bare repositories will have core.bare set these days, meaning they will
realize there is no working tree at all).
The documentation for gitmailmap(5) says:
If the file `.mailmap` exists at the toplevel of the repository[...]
which likewise reinforces the notion that we are looking in the working
tree.
This patch prevents us from looking for such a file when we're in a bare
repository. This does break something that used to work:
cd bare.git
git cat-file blob HEAD:.mailmap >.mailmap
git shortlog
But that was never advertised in the documentation. And these days we
have mailmap.blob (which defaults to HEAD:.mailmap) to do the same thing
in a much cleaner way.
However, there's one more interesting case: we might not have a
repository at all! The git-shortlog command can be run with git-log
output fed on its stdin, and it will apply the mailmap. In that case, it
probably does make sense to read .mailmap from the current directory.
This patch will continue to do so.
That leads to one even weirder case: if you run git-shortlog to process
stdin, the input _could_ be from a different repository entirely. Should
we respect the in-tree .mailmap then? Probably yes. Whatever the source
of the input, if shortlog is running in a repository, the documentation
claims that we'd read the .mailmap from its top-level (and of course
it's reasonably likely that it _is_ from the same repo, and the user
just preferred to run git-log and git-shortlog separately for whatever
reason).
The included test covers these cases, and we now document the "no repo"
case explicitly.
We also add a test that confirms we find a top-level ".mailmap" even
when we start in a subdirectory of the working tree. This worked both
before and after this commit, but we never tested it explicitly (it
works because we always chdir to the top-level of the working tree if
there is one).

It is valuable to collect loose refs into a more compressed form. This
is typically the packed-refs file, although this could be the reftable
in the future. Having packed refs can be extremely valuable in repos
with many tags or remote branches that are not modified by the local
user, but still are necessary for other queries.
For instance, with many exploded refs, commands such as
git describe --tags --exact-match HEAD
can be very slow (multiple seconds). This command in particular is used
by terminal prompts to show when a detatched HEAD is pointing to an
existing tag, so having it be slow causes significant delays for users.
Add a new 'pack-refs' maintenance task. It runs 'git pack-refs --all
--prune' to move loose refs into a packed form. For now, that is the
packed-refs file, but could adjust to other file formats in the future.
This is the first of several sub-tasks of the 'gc' task that could be
extracted to their own tasks. In this process, we should not change the
behavior of the 'gc' task since that remains the default way to keep
repositories maintained. Creating a new task for one of these sub-tasks
only provides more customization options for those choosing to not use
the 'gc' task. It is certainly possible to have both the 'gc' and
'pack-refs' tasks enabled and run regularly. While they may repeat
effort, they do not conflict in a destructive way.
The 'auto_condition' function pointer is left NULL for now. We could
extend this in the future to have a condition check if pack-refs should
be run during 'git maintenance run --auto'.
