Kristoffer Haugsbakk 719515fdd0 doc: tag: document `TAG_EDITMSG`
Document `TAG_EDITMSG` which we have told the user about on unsuccessful
command invocations since commit 3927bbe9a4 (tag: delete TAG_EDITMSG
only on successful tag, 2008-12-06).

Introduce this documentation since we are going to add tests for the
lifetime of this file in the case of command failure and success.

Use the documentation for `COMMIT_EDITMSG` from `git-commit.txt` as a
template since these two files share the same purpose.[1]

† 1: from commit 3927bbe9a4:

     “ This matches the behavior of COMMIT_EDITMSG, which stays around
       in case of error.

Øystein Walle aabfdc9514 branch, for-each-ref, tag: add option to omit empty lines
If the given format string expands to the empty string, a newline is
still printed. This makes using the output linewise more tedious. For
example, git update-ref --stdin does not accept empty lines.

Add options to "git branch", "git for-each-ref", and "git tag" to
not print these empty lines.  The default behavior remains the same.

Tigran Mkrtchyan 1c6b565f89 tag: add tag.gpgSign config option to force all tags be GPG-signed
As many CI/CD tools don't allow to control command line options when
executing `git tag` command, a default value in the configuration file
will allow to enforce tag signing if required.

The new config-file option tag.gpgSign is added to define default behavior
of tag signings. To override default behavior the command line option -s,
--sign and --no-sign can be used:

    $ git tag -m "commit message"

will generate a GPG signed tag if tag.gpgSign option is true, while

    $ git tag --no-sign -m "commit message"

will skip the signing step.

Jeff King 0c88bf5050 provide --color option for all ref-filter users
When ref-filter learned about want_color() in 11b087adfd
(ref-filter: consult want_color() before emitting colors,
2017-07-13), it became useful to be able to turn colors off
and on for specific commands. For git-branch, you can do so
with --color/--no-color.

But for git-for-each-ref and git-tag, the other users of
ref-filter, you have no option except to tweak the
"color.ui" config setting. Let's give both of these commands
the usual color command-line options.

This is a bit more obvious as a method for overriding the
config. And it also prepares us for the behavior of "always"
changing (so that we are still left with a way of forcing
color when our output goes to a non-terminal).

Michael J Gruber e4933cee53 Documentation: use proper wording for ref format strings
Various commands list refs and allow to use a format string for the
output that interpolates from the ref as well as the object it points
at (for-each-ref; branch and tag in list mode).

Currently, the documentation talks about interpolating from the object.
This is confusing because a ref points to an object but not vice versa,
so the object cannot possible know %(refname), for example. Thus, this is
wrong independent of refs being objects (one day, maybe) or not.

Change the wording to make this clearer (and distinguish it from formats
for the log family).

Martin Ågren de121ffe57 tag: respect `pager.tag` in list-mode only
Using, e.g., `git -c pager.tag tag -a new-tag` results in errors such as
"Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal" and a garbled terminal.
Someone who makes use of both `git tag -a` and `git tag -l` will
probably not set `pager.tag`, so that `git tag -a` will actually work,
at the cost of not paging output of `git tag -l`.

Use the mechanisms introduced in two earlier patches to ignore
`pager.tag` in git.c and let the `git tag` builtin handle it on its own.
Only respect `pager.tag` when running in list-mode.

There is a window between where the pager is started before and after
this patch. This means that early errors can behave slightly different
before and after this patch. Since operation-parsing has to happen
inside this window, this can be seen with `git -c pager.tag="echo pager
is used" tag -l --unknown-option`. This change in paging-behavior should
be acceptable since it only affects erroneous usages.

Update the documentation and update tests.

If an alias is used to run `git tag -a`, then `pager.tag` will still be
respected. Document this known breakage. It will be fixed in a later
commit. Add a similar test for `-l`, which works.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason ac3f5a3468 ref-filter: add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-ref
Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains
option in addition to their longstanding --contains options.

This allows for finding the last-good rollout tag given a known-bad
<commit>. Given a hypothetically bad commit cf5c7253e0, the git
version to revert to can be found with this hacky two-liner:

    (git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; git tag -l --contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*') |
        sort | uniq -c | grep -E '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10

With this new --no-contains option the same can be achieved with:

    git tag -l --no-contains cf5c7253e0 'v[0-9]*' | sort | tail -n 10

As the filtering machinery is shared between the tag, branch &
for-each-ref commands, implement this for those commands too. A
practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which
were branched off between v2.8.0 and v2.10.0:

    git branch --contains v2.8.0 --no-contains v2.10.0

The "describe" command also has a --contains option, but its semantics
are unrelated to what tag/branch/for-each-ref use --contains for. A
--no-contains option for "describe" wouldn't make any sense, other
than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains at all,
which would be confusing at best.

Add a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains, for
consistency with --with and --contains.  The --with option is
undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is
Junio (<xmqqefy71iej.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com>). But it's
trivial to support, so let's do that.

The additions to the the test suite are inverse copies of the
corresponding --contains tests. With this change --no-contains for
tag, branch & for-each-ref is just as well tested as the existing
--contains option.

In addition to those tests, add a test for "tag" which asserts that
--no-contains won't find tree/blob tags, which is slightly
unintuitive, but consistent with how --contains works & is documented.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 6a338149f6 tag: implicitly supply --list given another list-like option
Change the "tag" command to implicitly turn on its --list mode when
provided with a list-like option such as --contains, --points-at etc.

This is for consistency with how "branch" works. When "branch" is
given a list-like option, such as --contains, it implicitly provides
--list. Before this change "tag" would error out on those sorts of
invocations. I.e. while both of these worked for "branch":

    git branch --contains v2.8.0 <pattern>
    git branch --list --contains v2.8.0 <pattern>

Only the latter form worked for "tag":

    git tag --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*'
    git tag --list --contains v2.8.0 '*rc*'

Now "tag", like "branch", will implicitly supply --list when a
list-like option is provided, and no other conflicting non-list
options (such as -d) are present on the command-line.

Spelunking through the history via:

    git log --reverse -p -G'only allowed with' -- '*builtin*tag*c'

Reveals that there was no good reason for not allowing this in the
first place. The --contains option added in 32c35cfb1e ("git-tag: Add
--contains option", 2009-01-26) made this an error. All the other
subsequent list-like options that were added copied its pattern of
making this usage an error.

The only tests that break as a result of this change are tests that
were explicitly checking that this "branch-like" usage wasn't
permitted. Change those failing tests to check that this invocation
mode is permitted, add extra tests for the list-like options we
weren't testing, and tests to ensure that e.g. we don't toggle the
list mode in the presence of other conflicting non-list options.

With this change errors messages such as "--contains option is only
allowed with -l" don't make sense anymore, since options like
--contain turn on -l. Instead we error out when list-like options such
as --contain are used in conjunction with conflicting options such as
-d or -v.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason c485b24c42 tag: change misleading --list <pattern> documentation
Change the documentation for --list so that it's described as a
toggle, not as an option that takes a <pattern> as an argument.

Junio initially documented this in b867c7c23a ("git-tag: -l to list
tags (usability).", 2006-02-17), but later Jeff King changed "tag" to
accept multiple patterns in 588d0e834b ("tag: accept multiple patterns
for --list", 2011-06-20).

However, documenting this as "-l <pattern>" was never correct, as
these both worked before Jeff's change:

    git tag -l 'v*'
    git tag 'v*' -l

One would expect an option that was documented like that to only
accept:

    git tag --list
    git tag --list 'v*rc*'

And after Jeff's change, one that took multiple patterns:

    git tag --list 'v*rc*' --list '*2.8*'

But since it's actually a toggle all of these work as well, and
produce identical output to the last example above:

    git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*'
    git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list --list --list
    git tag --list 'v*rc*' '*2.8*' --list -l --list -l --list

Now the documentation is more in tune with how the "branch" command
describes its --list option since commit cddd127b9a ("branch:
introduce --list option", 2011-08-28).

Change the test suite to assert that these invocations work for the
cases that weren't already being tested for.

Cornelius Weig 341fb28621 refs: add option core.logAllRefUpdates = always
When core.logallrefupdates is true, we only create a new reflog for refs
that are under certain well-known hierarchies. The reason is that we
know that some hierarchies (like refs/tags) are not meant to change, and
that unknown hierarchies might not want reflogs at all (e.g., a
hypothetical refs/foo might be meant to change often and drop old
history immediately).

However, sometimes it is useful to override this decision and simply log
for all refs, because the safety and audit trail is more important than
the performance implications of keeping the log around.

This patch introduces a new "always" mode for the core.logallrefupdates
option which will log updates to everything under refs/, regardless
where in the hierarchy it is (we still will not log things like
ORIG_HEAD and FETCH_HEAD, which are known to be transient).

Lukas Puehringer 07d347cf9a builtin/tag: add --format argument for tag -v
Adding --format to git tag -v mutes the default output of the GPG
verification and instead prints the formatted tag object.
This allows callers to cross-check the tagname from refs/tags with
the tagname from the tag object header upon GPG verification.

The callback function for for_each_tag_name() didn't allow callers to
pass custom data to their callback functions. Add a new opaque pointer
to each_tag_name_fn's parameter to allow this.

SZEDER Gábor c026557a37 versioncmp: generalize version sort suffix reordering
The 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' configuration variable, as its name
suggests, is supposed to only deal with tagnames with prerelease
suffixes, and allows sorting those prerelease tags in a user-defined
order before the suffixless main release tag, instead of sorting them
simply lexicographically.

However, the previous changes in this series resulted in an
interesting and useful property of version sort:

  - The empty string as a configured suffix matches all tagnames,
    including tagnames without any suffix, but

  - tagnames containing a "real" configured suffix are still ordered
    according to that real suffix, because any longer suffix takes
    precedence over the empty string.

Exploiting this property we can easily generalize suffix reordering
and specify the order of tags with given suffixes not only before but
even after a main release tag by using the empty suffix to denote the
position of the main release tag, without any algorithm changes:

  $ git -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-alpha \
        -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-beta \
        -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix="" \
        -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-gamma \
        -c versionsort.prereleaseSuffix=-delta \
        tag -l --sort=version:refname 'v3.0*'
  v3.0-alpha1
  v3.0-beta1
  v3.0
  v3.0-gamma1
  v3.0-delta1

Since 'versionsort.prereleaseSuffix' is not a fitting name for a
configuration variable to control this more general suffix reordering,
introduce the new variable 'versionsort.suffix'.  Still keep the old
configuration variable name as a deprecated alias, though, to avoid
suddenly breaking setups already using it.  Ignore the old variable if
both old and new configuration variables are set, but emit a warning
so users will be aware of it and can fix their configuration.  Extend
the documentation to describe and add a test to check this more
general behavior.

Note: since the empty suffix matches all tagnames, tagnames with
suffixes not included in the configuration are listed together with
the suffixless main release tag, ordered lexicographically right after
that, i.e. before tags with suffixes listed in the configuration
following the empty suffix.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 3bb16a8bf2 tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filtering
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have
branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and
BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may
not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from
git-branch and git-tag.

The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important
because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're
desperate.

You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or
the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should
be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control.
But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need
for it.

Jeff King 0571979bd6 tag: do not show ambiguous tag names as "tags/foo"
Since b7cc53e9 (tag.c: use 'ref-filter' APIs, 2015-07-11),
git-tag has started showing tags with ambiguous names (i.e.,
when both "heads/foo" and "tags/foo" exists) as "tags/foo"
instead of just "foo". This is both:

  - pointless; the output of "git tag" includes only
    refs/tags, so we know that "foo" means the one in
    "refs/tags".

and

  - ambiguous; in the original output, we know that the line
    "foo" means that "refs/tags/foo" exists. In the new
    output, it is unclear whether we mean "refs/tags/foo" or
    "refs/tags/tags/foo".

The reason this happens is that commit b7cc53e9 switched
git-tag to use ref-filter's "%(refname:short)" output
formatting, which was adapted from for-each-ref. This more
general code does not know that we care only about tags, and
uses shorten_unambiguous_ref to get the short-name. We need
to tell it that we care only about "refs/tags/", and it
should shorten with respect to that value.

In theory, the ref-filter code could figure this out by us
passing FILTER_REFS_TAGS. But there are two complications
there:

  1. The handling of refname:short is deep in formatting
     code that does not even have our ref_filter struct, let
     alone the arguments to the filter_ref struct.

  2. In git v2.7.0, we expose the formatting language to the
     user. If we follow this path, it will mean that
     "%(refname:short)" behaves differently for "tag" versus
     "for-each-ref" (including "for-each-ref refs/tags/"),
     which can lead to confusion.

Instead, let's add a new modifier to the formatting
language, "strip", to remove a specific set of prefix
components. This fixes "git tag", and lets users invoke the
same behavior from their own custom formats (for "tag" or
"for-each-ref") while leaving ":short" with its same
consistent meaning in all places.

We introduce a test in t7004 for "git tag", which fails
without this patch. We also add a similar test in t3203 for
"git branch", which does not actually fail. But since it is
likely that "branch" will eventually use the same formatting
code, the test helps defend against future regressions.
