* show: fix "range implies walking"Junio C Hamano2012-06-19

* Demonstrate git-show is broken with rangesThomas Rast2012-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic of git-show has remained largely unchanged since around 5d7eeee (git-show: grok blobs, trees and tags, too, 2006-12-14): start a revision walker with no_walk=1, look at its pending objects and handle them one-by-one. For commits, this means stuffing them into a new queue all alone, and running the walker. Then Linus's f222abd (Make 'git show' more useful, 2009-07-13) came along and set no_walk=0 whenever the user specifies a range. Which appears to work fine, until you actually prod it hard enough, as the preceding commit shows: UNINTERESTING commits will be marked as such, but not walked further to propagate the marks. Demonstrate this with the main tests of this patch: 'showing a range walks (Y shape)'. The Y shape of history ensures that propagating the UNINTERESTING marks is necessary to correctly exclude the main1 commit. The only example I could find actually requires that the negative revisions are listed later, and in this scenario a dotted range actually works. However, it is easy to find examples in git.git where a dotted range is wrong, e.g. $ git show v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | grep ^commit | wc -l 1297 $ git rev-list v1.7.0..v1.7.1 | wc -l 702 While there, also test a few other things that are not covered so far: the -N way of triggering a range (added in 5853cae, DWIM 'git show -5' to 'git show --do-walk -5', 2010-06-01), and the interactions of tags, commits and ranges.

* git-show: do not segfault when showing a bad tagJunio C Hamano2008-12-15
When a tag points at a bad or nonexistent object, we should diagnose the breakage and exit. An earlier commit 4f3dcc2 (Fix 'git show' on signed tag of signed tag of commit, 2008-07-01) lost this check and made it segfault instead; not good. This fixes it.
