A couple of commands learn --column option to produce columnar output.
By Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (9) and Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek (1)
* nd/columns:
tag: add --column
column: support piping stdout to external git-column process
status: add --column
branch: add --column
help: reuse print_columns() for help -a
column: add dense layout support
t9002: work around shells that are unable to set COLUMNS to 1
column: add columnar layout
Stop starting pager recursively
Add column layout skeleton and git-column

"help -a" also respects column.ui (and column.help if presents)

We used to underline a header text, like this:
This is a header
----------------
content...
But calculating text length so that the dashes align with the text
could get complicated because the text could be in any charset in
translated Git.
There is no point to use this pseudo underline; simply a blank
line would do and it even makes it easier to read:
This is a header
content...
While at it, give translators more context to translate, e.g.
e.g. "git commands available..." instead of "%s available..."

term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard
output, but we spawn the pager too early for this check to be useful.
The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and
running "git -p help --all", which still shows 80-column output, while
"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we
spawn the pager to fix this.
While at it, move term_columns() to pager.c and export it from cache.h so
that callers other than the help subsystem can use it.

* ms/help-unknown:
help_unknown_cmd: do not propose an "unknown" cmd
|
|
When executing an external shell script like `git foo` with a bad
shebang, e.g. "#!/usr/bin/not/existing", execvp returns 127 (ENOENT).
Since help_unknown_cmd proposes the use of all external commands similar
to the name of the "unknown" command, it suggests the just failed command
again. Stop it and give some advice to the user.

Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.
The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.
Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.
We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.
Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.
In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)

If someone runs "git st", the command "git status" is not suggested
because it's not one of the closest levenshtein-neighbour.
Reserve the distance of 0 for common commands where the entered command
is a prefixe, as these are often more likely to be what the user meant.
This way, "git status" is the first suggestion, while a list of possible
typos are still suggested as well.

If a given command is not found, then help.c tries to guess which one the
user could have meant. If help.autocorrect is 0 or unset, then a list of
suggestions is given as long as the dissimilarity between the given command
and the candidates is not excessively high. But if help.autocorrect was
non-zero (i.e., a delay after which the command is run automatically), the
latter restriction on dissimilarity was not obeyed.
In my case, this happened:
$ git ..daab02
WARNING: You called a Git command named '..daab02', which does not exist.
Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'read-tree'
in 4.0 seconds automatically...
The patch reuses the similarity limit that is also applied when the list of
suggested commands is printed.

The code which is conditional on MinGW32 is actually conditional on Windows.
Use the WIN32 symbol, which is defined by the MINGW32 and MSVC environments,
but not by Cygwin.
Define SNPRINTF_SIZE_CORR=1 for MSVC too, as its vsnprintf function does
not add NUL at the end of the buffer if the result fits the buffer size

Most of the docs and printouts refer to "commands" when discussing what
the end users call via the "git" top-level program. We should refer them
as "git programs" when we discuss the fact that the commands are

use the term "git commands" consistently.

This patch introduces a modified Damerau-Levenshtein algorithm into
Git's code base, and uses it with the following penalties to show some
similar commands when an unknown command was encountered:
swap = 0, insertion = 1, substitution = 2, deletion = 4
A typical output would now look like this:
$ git sm
git: 'sm' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean one of these?
am
rm
The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined
to give sensible results.
As a convenience, if there is only one candidate, Git continues under
the assumption that the user mistyped it. Example:
$ git reabse
WARNING: You called a Git program named 'reabse', which does
not exist.
Continuing under the assumption that you meant 'rebase'

The function list_commands_in_dir() tried to be lazy and just chdir()
to the directory which entries it listed, so that the check if the
file is executable could be done on dir->d_name.

all Git commands.
Instead, have a strbuf and construct the full path dynamically.

The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used
directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which
requires a Unix shell. Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good
because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is
not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it.
The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid
platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is
provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is
used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using
per-function ifdefs. The "ifndef open_html" together with the
introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they
hopefully will not break this mechanism.

But this is currently shown in the dashed form. So if you just

Before this patch, something like "git help tutorial" did not work,
people had to use "git help gittutorial" which is not very intuitive.
This patch uses the "is_git_command" function to test early if the
argument passed to "git help" is a git command, and if this is not the
case then we prefix the argument with "git" instead of "git-".
This way, things like "git help tutorial" or "git help glossary" will
work fine.
The little downside of this patch is that the "is_git_command" is a
little bit slow.

git help -a scans the PATH for git commands. On Windows it failed for two
reasons:
- The PATH separator is ';', not ':' on Windows.
- stat() does not set the executable bit.
We now open the file and guess whether it is executable.
The result of the guess is good enough for the list of git commands, but
it is of no use for a general stat() implementation because (1) it is a
guess, (2) the user has no way to influence the outcome (via chmod or
similar), and (3) it would reduce stat() performance by an unacceptable
amount. Therefore, this strategy is a special-case local to help.c.

Currently "git help -m GITCMD" is restricted to a set of man viewers
defined at compile time. You can subvert the "man.<tool>.path" to
force "git help -m" to use a different man, viewer, but if you have a
man viewer whose invocation syntax does not match one of the current
tools then you would have to write a wrapper script for it.
This patch adds a git config variable "man.<tool>.cmd" which allows a
more flexible man viewer choice.
If you run "git help -m GITCMD" with the "man.viewer" config variable
set to an unrecognized tool then it will query the "man.<tool>.cmd"
config variable. If this variable exists, then the specified tool will
be treated as a custom man viewer and it will be run in a shell with
the man page name of the GITCMD added as extra parameter.

This patch implements reading values from "man.<tool>.path"
configuration variables, and using these values as pathes to
the man viewer <tool>s when lauching them.
This makes it possible to use different version of the tools
than the one on the current PATH, or maybe a custom script.
In this patch we also try to launch "konqueror" using
"kfmclient" even if a path to a konqueror binary is given
in "man.konqueror.path".
The "man_viewer_list" becomes a simple string list to simplify
