*.[ch]: manually align parameter lists

2019-05-05T06:20:10Z

In previous patches, extern was mechanically removed from function declarations without care to formatting, causing parameter lists to be misaligned. Manually format changed sections such that the parameter lists should be realigned. Viewing this patch with 'git diff -w' should produce no output.

*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using spatch

2019-05-05T06:20:06Z

There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch. This was the Coccinelle patch used: @@ type T; identifier f; @@ - extern T f(...); and it was run with: $ git ls-files \*.{c,h} | grep -v ^compat/ | xargs spatch --sp-file contrib/coccinelle/noextern.cocci --in-place Files under `compat/` are intentionally excluded as some are directly copied from external sources and we should avoid churning them as much as possible.

sideband: highlight keywords in remote sideband output

2018-08-08T22:20:09Z

The colorization is controlled with the config setting "color.remote". Supported keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success". They are highlighted if they appear at the start of the line, which is common in error messages, eg. ERROR: commit is missing Change-Id The Git push process itself prints lots of non-actionable messages (eg. bandwidth statistics, object counters for different phases of the process). This obscures actionable error messages that servers may send back. Highlighting keywords in the sideband draws more attention to those messages. The background for this change is that Gerrit does server-side processing to create or update code reviews, and actionable error messages (eg. missing Change-Id) must be communicated back to the user during the push. User research has shown that new users have trouble seeing these messages. The highlighting is done on the client rather than server side, so servers don't have to grow capabilities to understand terminal escape codes and terminal state. It also consistent with the current state where Git is control of the local display (eg. prefixing messages with "remote: "). The highlighting can be configured using color.remote. configuration settings. Since the keys are matched case insensitively, we match the keywords case insensitively too. Finally, this solution is backwards compatible: many servers already prefix their messages with "error", and they will benefit from this change without requiring a server update. By contrast, a server-side solution would likely require plumbing the TERM variable through the git protocol, so it would require changes to both server and client.

completion: drop the hard coded list of config vars

2018-05-29T05:51:28Z

The new help option --config-for-completion is a machine friendlier version of --config where all the placeholders and wildcards are dropped, leaving only the good, completable prefixes for git-completion.bash to consume. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: add --config to list all available config

2018-05-29T05:51:28Z

Sometimes it helps to list all available config vars so the user can search for something they want. The config man page can also be used but it's harder to search if you want to focus on the variable name, for example. This is not the best way to collect the available config since it's not precise. Ideally we should have a centralized list of config in C code (pretty much like 'struct option'), but that's a lot more work. This will do for now.

completion: allow to customize the completable command list

2018-05-21T04:23:14Z

By default we show porcelain, external commands and a couple others that are also popular. If you are not happy with this list, you can now customize it a new config variable. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: use command-list.txt for the source of guides

2018-05-21T04:23:14Z

The help command currently hard codes the list of guides and their summary in C. Let's move this list to command-list.txt. This lets us extract summary lines from Documentation/git*.txt. This also potentially lets us list guides in git.txt, but I'll leave that for now. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsis

2018-05-21T04:23:14Z

This lists all recognized commands [1] by category. The group order follows closely git.txt. [1] We may actually show commands that are not built (e.g. if you set NO_PERL you don't have git-instaweb but it's still listed here). I ignore the problem because on Linux a git package could be split anyway. The "git-core" package may not contain git-instaweb even if it's built because it may end up in a separate package. We can't know anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
