Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I
was always hoping that somebody else would do it.
But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I
decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people
they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do,
I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them..
The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this
patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have
to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to
know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty
well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts
with generating patches and generating the log.
So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have
been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be
firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory.
To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just
did it.
I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really
can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises
("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code
itself isn't really that complicated.
All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It
really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking
at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can
instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous
pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that*
particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname.
One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a
singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want
to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying
around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to
notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history.
IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind
of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just
pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the
history could be linearized.
Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model,
I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have
merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two
branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point
where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in
parallel.
And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and
if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to
you. What matters to you is that you can now do
git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c
and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to
"builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a
widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue
is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from
within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure
how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how
that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation.
Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that
the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up
two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer
enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists,
and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their
own documentation system available from within a running git-gui.
But not today.

Simon has asked that the git.git project include the git-p4 project
as at least a contrib/fast-import within git.git. I think it makes
a lot of sense, as git-p4 nicely complements the only other in-tree
fast-import user: import-tars.perl.
git-p4 is offered under the MIT license by its authors.
Raimund Bauer just discovered that the default bash completion for
a local branch name in a git-push line is not the best choice when
the branch does not exist on the remote system.
In the past we have always completed the local name 'test' as
"test:test", indicating that the destination name is the same as
the local name. But this fails when "test" does not yet exist on
the remote system, as there is no "test" branch for it to match
the name against.
Fortunately git-push does the right thing when given just the
local branch, as it assumes you want to use the same name in the
destination repository. So we now offer "test" as the completion
in a git-push line, and let git-push assume that is also the remote
branch name.
We also still support the remote branch completion after the :,
but only if the user manually adds the colon before trying to get
a completion.

Junio asked that we don't force the user to have a valid X11 server
configured in $DISPLAY just to obtain the output of `git gui version`.
This makes sense, the user may be an automated tool that is running
without an X server available to it, such as a build script or other
sort of package management system. Or it might just be a user working
in a non-GUI environment and wondering "what version of git-gui do I
have installed?".
Tcl has a lot of warts, but one of its better ones is that a comment
can be continued to the next line by escaping the LF that would have
ended the comment using a backslash-LF sequence. In the past we have
used this trick to escape away the 'exec wish' that is actually a Bourne
shell script and keep Tcl from executing it.
I'm using that feature here to comment out the Bourne shell script and
hide it from the Tcl engine. Except now our Bourne shell script is a
few lines long and checks to see if it should print the version, or not.

Alex Riesen wanted a quieter installation process for git and its
contained git-gui. His earlier patch to do this failed to work
properly when V=1, and didn't really give a great indication of
what the installation was doing.
These rules are a little bit on the messy side, as each of our
install actions is composed of at least two variables, but in the
V=1 case the text is identical to what we had before, while in the
non-V=1 case we use some more complex rules to show the interesting
details, and hide the less interesting bits.
We now can also set QUIET= (nothing) to see the rules that are used
when V= (nothing), so we can debug those too if we have to. This is
actually a side-effect of how we insert the @ into the rules we use
for the "lists of things", like our builtins or our library files.

The blame viewer is composed of two different areas, the file
area on top and the commit area on the bottom. If users are
trying to shift the focus it is probably because they want to
shift from one area to the other, so we just setup Tab and
Shift-Tab to jump from the one half to the other in a cycle.

Mark Levedahl <mlevedahl@gmail.com> noted that installation on Cygwin
to /usr/bin can cause problems with the automatic guessing of our
library location. The problem is that installation to /usr/bin
means we actually have:
/usr/bin = c:\cygwin\bin
/usr/share = c:\cygwin\usr\share
So git-gui guesses that its library should be found within the
c:\cygwin\share directory, as that is where it should be relative
to the script itself in c:\cygwin\bin.
In my first version of this patch I tried to use `cygpath` to resolve
/usr/bin and /usr/share to test that they were in the same relative
locations, but that didn't work out correctly as we were actually
testing /usr/share against itself, so it always was equal, and we
always used relative paths. So my original solution was quite wrong.
Mark suggested we just always disable relative behavior on Cygwin,
because of the complexity of the mount mapping problem, so that's
all I'm doing.

add_user_info() possibly adds way more than just the commit header line.
In fact, it sometimes needs so much more space that there is a buffer
overrun, leading to an ugly crash. For example, the date is printed in its
own line, and usually takes up more space than the equivalent Unix epoch.
So, for good measure, add 80 characters (a full line) to the allocated
space, in addition to the header line length.

The ALLOC_GROW macro will never let us fill the array completely,
instead allocating an extra chunk if that would be the case. This is
because the 'nr' argument was originally treated as "how much we do have
now" instead of "how much do we want". The latter makes much more
sense because you can grow by more than one item.
This off-by-one never resulted in an error because it meant we were
overly conservative about when to allocate. Any callers which passed
"how much we have now" need to be updated, or they will fail to allocate
enough.
