2017-03-18shortlog: don't set after_subject to an empty stringLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+0
The string after_subject is added to a strbuf by pp_title_line() if it's not NULL. Adding an empty string has the same effect as not adding anything, but the latter is easier, so don't bother changing the context member from NULL to "".

2016-12-15shortlog: group by committer informationLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+12
In some situations you may want to group the commits not by author, but by committer instead. For example, when I just wanted to look up what I'm still missing from linux-next in the current merge window, I don't care so much about who wrote a patch, as what git tree it came from, which generally boils down to "who committed it". So make git shortlog take a "-c" or "--committer" option to switch grouping to that. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-06-13blame,shortlog: don't make local option variables staticLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
There's no need for these option variables to be static, except that they are referenced by the options array itself, which is static. But having all of this static is simply unnecessary and confusing (and inconsistent with most other commands, which either use a static global option list or a true function-local one). Note that in some cases we may need to actually initialize the variables (since we cannot rely on BSS to do so). This is a net improvement to readability, though, as we can use the more verbose initializers for our string_lists.

2016-01-19shortlog: don't warn on empty authorLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+0
Git tries to avoid creating a commit with an empty author name or email. However, commits created by older, less strict versions of git may still be in the history. There's not much point in issuing a warning to stderr for an empty author. The user can't do anything about it now, and we are better off to simply include it in the shortlog output as an empty name/email, and let the caller process it however they see fit. Older versions of shortlog differentiated between "author header not present" (which complained) and "author name/email are blank" (which included the empty ident in the output). But since switching to format_commit_message, we complain to stderr about either case (linux.git has a blank author deep in its history which triggers this). We could try to restore the older behavior (complaining only about the missing header), but in retrospect, there's not much point in differentiating these cases. A missing author header is bogus, but as for the "blank" case, the only useful behavior is to add it to the "empty name" collection.

2016-01-19shortlog: optimize out useless string listLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+31
If we are in "--summary" mode, then we do not care about the actual list of subject onelines associated with each author. We care only about the number. So rather than store a string-list for each author full of "<none>", let's just keep a count. This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git from: real 0m5.194s user 0m5.028s sys 0m0.168s to: real 0m5.057s user 0m4.916s sys 0m0.144s That's about 2.5%.

2016-01-19shortlog: optimize out useless "<none>" normalizationLibravatar Jeff King1-29/+34
If we are in --summary mode, we will always pass <none> to insert_one_record, which will then do some normalization (e.g., cutting out "[PATCH]"). There's no point in doing so if we aren't going to use the result anyway. This drops my best-of-five for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git from: real 0m5.257s user 0m5.104s sys 0m0.156s to: real 0m5.194s user 0m5.028s sys 0m0.168s That's only 1%, but arguably the result is clearer to read, as we're able to group our variable declarations inside the conditional block.

2016-01-19shortlog: optimize "--summary" modeLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+6
If the user asked us only to show counts for each author, rather than the individual summary lines, then there is no point in us generating the summaries only to throw them away. With this patch, I measured the following speedup for "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git (best-of-five): [before] real 0m5.644s user 0m5.472s sys 0m0.176s [after] real 0m5.257s user 0m5.104s sys 0m0.156s That's only ~7%, but it's so easy to do, there's no good reason not to. We don't have to touch any downstream code, since we already fill in the magic string "<none>" to handle commits without a message.

2016-01-19shortlog: replace hand-parsing of author with pretty-printerLibravatar Jeff King1-36/+26
When gathering the author and oneline subject for each commit, we hand-parse the commit headers to find the "author" line, and then continue past to the blank line at the end of the header. We can replace this tricky hand-parsing by simply asking the pretty-printer for the relevant items. This also decouples the author and oneline parsing, opening up some new optimizations in further commits. One reason to avoid the pretty-printer is that it might be less efficient than hand-parsing. However, I measured no slowdown at all running "git shortlog -ns HEAD" on linux.git. As a bonus, we also fix a memory leak in the (uncommon) case that the author field is blank.

2016-01-19shortlog: use strbufs to read from stdinLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+12
We currently use fixed-size buffers with fgets(), which could lead to incorrect results in the unlikely event that a line had something like "Author:" at exactly its 1024th character. But it's easy to convert this to a strbuf, and because we can reuse the same buffer through the loop, we don't even pay the extra allocation cost.

2016-01-19shortlog: match both "Author:" and "author" on stdinLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+4
The original git-shortlog could read both the normal "git log" output as well as "git log --format=raw". However, when it was converted to C by b8ec592 (Build in shortlog, 2006-10-22), the trailing colon became mandatory, and we no longer matched the raw output. Given the amount of intervening time without any bug reports, it's probable that nobody cares. But it's relatively easy to fix, and the end result is hopefully more readable than the original. Note that this no longer matches "author: ", which we did before, but that has never been a format generated by git.

2015-06-29convert "enum date_mode" into a structLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.

2013-09-18shortlog: ignore commits with missing authorsLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
Most of git's traversals are robust against minor breakages in commit data. For example, "git log" will still output an entry for a commit that has a broken encoding or missing author, and will not abort the whole operation. Shortlog, on the other hand, will die as soon as it sees a commit without an author, meaning that a repository with a broken commit cannot get any shortlog output at all. Let's downgrade this fatal error to a warning, and continue the operation. We simply ignore the commit and do not count it in the total (since we do not have any author under which to file it). Alternatively, we could output some kind of "<empty>" record to collect these bogus commits. It is probably not worth it, though; we have already warned to stderr, so the user is aware that such bogosities exist, and any placeholder we came up with would either be syntactically invalid, or would potentially conflict with real data.

However, log messages written in an encoding i18n.commitEncoding which differs from terminal encoding are shown corrupted even when i18n.logOutputEncoding and terminal encoding are the same (e.g. log messages committed on a Cygwin box with Windows-1251 encoding seen on a Linux box with a UTF-8 encoding and vice versa). To simplify an example we can say the following two commands are expected to give the same output to a terminal: $ git log --oneline --no-color $ git log --pretty=format:'%h %s' However, the former pays attention to i18n.logOutputEncoding configuration, while the latter does not when it formats "%s". The same corruption is true for $ git diff --submodule=log and $ git rev-list --pretty=format:%s HEAD and $ git reset --hard This patch makes pretty --format honor logOutputEncoding when it formats log message.

We have a pretty_print_context representing the parameters for a pretty-print session, but we did not use it uniformly. As a result, functions kept growing more and more arguments. Let's clean this up in a few ways: 1. All pretty-print pp_* functions now take a context. This lets us reduce the number of arguments to these functions, since we were just passing around the context values separately. 2. The context argument now has a cmit_fmt field, which was passed around separately. That's one less argument per function. 3. The context argument always comes first, which makes calling a little more uniform. This drops lines from some callers, and adds lines in a few places (because we need an extra line to set the context's fmt field). Overall, we don't save many lines, but the lines that are there are a lot simpler and more readable. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion.
