git-gui: Fix parsing of <rev> <path-which-not-present-in-worktree>

Commit e3d06ca9 (git-gui: Detect full path when parsing arguments) broke

    git gui blame rev path-not-present-in-worktree

in particular this does not work anymore:

    # in linux.git
    $ git gui blame 2bb8c26242c2393b097a993ffe9b003ec9b85395 drivers/net/sky2.c

This patch restores the original functionality in this case.

Refactor parse_loc

We want to use the same style of -L n,m argument for 'git log -L' as
for git-blame.  Refactor the argument parsing of the range arguments
from builtin/blame.c to the (new) file that will hold the 'git log -L'
logic.

To accommodate different data structures in blame and log -L, the file
contents are abstracted away; parse_range_arg takes a callback that it
uses to get the contents of a line of the (notional) file.

The new test is for a case that made me pause during debugging: the
'blame -L with invalid end' test was the only one that noticed an
outright failure to parse the end *at all*.  So make a more explicit
test for that.

Export rewrite_parents() for 'log -L'

The function rewrite_one is used to rewrite a single
parent of the current commit, and is used by rewrite_parents
to rewrite all the parents.

Decouple the dependence between them by making rewrite_one
a callback function that is passed to rewrite_parents. Then
export rewrite_parents for reuse by the line history browser.

We will use this function in line-log.c.

Implement line-history search (git log -L)

This is a rewrite of much of Bo's work, mainly in an effort to split
it into smaller, easier to understand routines.

The algorithm is built around the struct range_set, which encodes a
series of line ranges as intervals [a,b).  This is used in two
contexts:

* A set of lines we are tracking (which will change as we dig through
  history).
* To encode diffs, as pairs of ranges.

The main routine is range_set_map_across_diff().  It processes the
diff between a commit C and some parent P.  It determines which diff
hunks are relevant to the ranges tracked in C, and computes the new
ranges for P.

The algorithm is then simply to process history in topological order
from newest to oldest, computing ranges and (partial) diffs.  At
branch points, we need to merge the ranges we are watching.  We will
find that many commits do not affect the chosen ranges, and mark them
TREESAME (in addition to those already filtered by pathspec limiting).
Another pass of history simplification then gets rid of such commits.

This is wired as an extra filtering pass in the log machinery.  This
currently only reduces code duplication, but should allow for other
simplifications and options to be used.

Finally, we hook a diff printer into the output chain.  Ideally we
would wire directly into the diff logic, to optionally use features
like word diff.  However, that will require some major reworking of
the diff chain, so we completely replace the output with our own diff
for now.

As this was a GSoC project, and has quite some history by now, many
people have helped.  In no particular order, thanks go to

log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname

This new syntax finds a funcname matching /pattern/, and then takes from there
up to (but not including) the next funcname.  So you can say

  git log -L:main:main.c

and it will dig up the main() function and show its line-log, provided
there are no other funcnames matching 'main'.

Speed up log -L... -M

So far log -L only used the implicit diff filtering by pathspec.  If
the user specifies -M, we cannot do that, and so we simply handed the
whole diff queue (which is approximately 'git show --raw') to
diffcore_std().

Unfortunately this is very slow.  We can optimize a lot if we throw
out files that we know cannot possibly be interesting, in the same
spirit that the pathspec filtering reduces the number of files.

However, in this case, we have to be more careful.  Because we want to
look out for renames, we need to keep all filepairs where something
was deleted.

This is a bit hacky and should really be replaced by equivalent
support in --follow, and just using that.  However, in the meantime it
speeds up 'log -M -L' by an order of magnitude.

log -L: fix overlapping input ranges

The existing code was too defensive, and would trigger the assert in
range_set_append() if the user gave overlapping ranges.

The intent was always to define overlapping ranges as just the union
of all of them, as evidenced by the call to sort_and_merge_range_set().
(Which was already used, unlike what the comment said.)

Fix by splitting out the meat of range_set_append() to a new _unsafe()
function that lacks the paranoia.  sort_and_merge_range_set will fix
up the ranges, so we don't need the checks there.

transport-helper: report errors properly

If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.

In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.

While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test).  We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

transport-helper: mention helper name when it dies

When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.

Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).

transport-helper: improve push messages

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the SHA-1
to report proper push messages (as opposed to always reporting
[new branch]).

The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this
problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware
of git commit ids; they should be able to be agnostic of them.

check-ignore: add -n / --non-matching option

If `-n` or `--non-matching` are specified, non-matching pathnames will
also be output, in which case all fields in each output record except
for <pathname> will be empty.  This can be useful when running
check-ignore as a background process, so that files can be
incrementally streamed to STDIN, and for each of these files, STDOUT
will indicate whether that file matched a pattern or not.  (Without
this option, it would be impossible to tell whether the absence of
output for a given file meant that it didn't match any pattern, or
that the result simply hadn't been flushed to STDOUT yet.)

check-ignore: move setup into cmd_check_ignore()

Initialisation of the dir_struct and path_exclude_check structs was
previously done within check_ignore().  This was acceptable since
check_ignore() was only called once per check-ignore invocation;
however the next commit will convert it into an inner loop which is
called once per line of STDIN when --stdin is given.  Therefore moving
the initialisation code out into cmd_check_ignore() ensures that
initialisation is still only performed once per check-ignore
invocation, and consequently that the output is identical whether
pathspecs are provided as CLI arguments or via STDIN.

check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdin

Some callers, such as the git-annex web assistant, find it useful to
invoke git check-ignore as a persistent background process, which can
then have queries fed to its STDIN at any point, and the corresponding
response consumed from its STDOUT.  For this we need to invoke
check_ignore() once per line of standard input, and flush standard
output after each result.

The above use case suggests that empty STDIN is actually a reasonable
scenario (e.g. when the caller doesn't know in advance whether any
queries need to be fed to the background process until after it's
already started), so we make the minor behavioural change that "no
pathspec given." is no longer emitted in when STDIN is empty.

Even though check_ignore() could now be changed to operate on a single
pathspec, we keep it operating on an array of pathspecs since that is
a more convenient way of consuming the existing pathspec API.

Documentation: add caveats about I/O buffering for check-{attr,ignore}

check-attr and check-ignore have the potential to deadlock callers
which do not read back the output in real-time.  For example, if a
caller writes N paths out and then reads N lines back in, it risks
becoming blocked on write() to check-*, and check-* is blocked on
write back to the caller.  Somebody has to buffer; the pipe buffers
provide some leeway, but they are limited.
