* docs/pretty-formats: mention commas in %(trailers) syntaxJeff King2017-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 84ff053d47 (pretty.c: delimit "%(trailers)" arguments with ",", 2017-10-01) switched the syntax of the trailers placeholder, but forgot to update the documentation in pretty-formats.txt. There's no need to mention the old syntax; it was never in a released version of Git. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * pretty: support normalization options for %(trailers)Jeff King2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interpret-trailers command recently learned some options to make its output easier to parse (for a caller whose only interested in picking out the trailer values). But it's not very efficient for asking for the trailers of many commits in a single invocation. We already have "%(trailers)" to do that, but it doesn't know about unfolding or omitting non-trailers. Let's plumb those options through, so you can have the best of both. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This was not so bad for their original use, which was on the command-line (and the user could decide at that moment whether to add colors or not). But these days we have configured formats via pretty.*, and those should operate correctly in multiple contexts. In 3082517 (log --format: teach %C(auto,black) to respect color config, 2012-12-17), we gave an extended placeholder that could be used to accomplish this. But it's rather clunky to use, because you have to specify it individually for each color (and their matching resets) in the format. We shied away from just switching the default to auto, because it is technically breaking backwards compatibility. However, there's not really a use case for unconditional colors. The most plausible reason you would want them is to redirect "git log" output to a file. But there, the right answer is --color=always, as it does the right thing both with custom user-format colors and git-generated colors. So let's switch to the more useful default. In the off-chance that somebody really does find a use for unconditional colors without wanting to enable the rest of git's colors, we provide a new %C(always,...) to enable the old behavior. And we can remind them of --color=always in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* pretty: add %(trailers) format for displaying trailers of a commit messageJacob Keller2016-12-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recent patches have expanded on the trailers.c code and we have the builtin commant git-interpret-trailers which can be used to add or modify trailer lines. However, there is no easy way to simply display the trailers of a commit message. Add support for %(trailers) format modifier which will use the trailer_info_get() calls to read trailers in an identical way as git interpret-trailers does. Use a long format option instead of a short name so that future work can more easily unify ref-filter and pretty formats. Add documentation and tests for the same.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to gpg2's doc/DETAILS: For each signature only one of the codes GOODSIG, BADSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, REVKEYSIG or ERRSIG will be emitted. gpg1 ("classic") behaves the same (although doc/DETAILS differs). Currently, we parse gpg's status output for GOODSIG, BADSIG and trust information and translate that into status codes G, B, U, N for the %G? format specifier. git-verify-* returns success in the GOODSIG case only. This is somewhat in disagreement with gpg, which considers the first 5 of the 6 above as VALIDSIG, but we err on the very safe side. Introduce additional status codes E, X, Y, R for ERRSIG, EXPSIG, EXPKEYSIG, and REVKEYSIG so that a user of %G? gets more information about the absence of a 'G' on first glance.

In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

* | pretty: give placeholders to reflog identityJeff King2011-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When doing a reflog walk, you can get some information about the reflog (such as the subject line), but not the identity information (i.e., name and email). Let's make those available, mimicing the options for author and committer identity. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | pretty: Introduce ' ' modifier to add space if non-emptyMichael J Gruber2010-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have the '+' modifiier which helps combine format specifiers which may possibly be empty, e.g. '%s%+b%n'. Introduce an analogous ' ' (space) modifier which adds a space before non-empty items. This helps assemble "one line type" format specifiers.
