Subject: [PATCH v4] ref-filter: Add --no-contains option to tag/branch/for-each-ref

From: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2017 20:18:58 +0000

Change the tag, branch & for-each-ref commands to have a --no-contains
option in addition to their longstanding --contains options.

The use-case I have for this is to find the last-good rollout tag
given a known-bad <commit>. Right now, given a hypothetically bad
commit v2.10.1-3-gcf5c7253e0, you can find which git version to revert
to with this hacky two-liner:

    (./git tag -l 'v[0-9]*'; ./git tag -l 'v[0-9]*' --contains v2.10.1-3-gcf5c7253e0) \
        |sort|uniq -c|grep -E '^ *1 '|awk '{print $2}' | tail -n 10

But with the --no-contains option you can now get the exact same
output with:

    ./git tag -l 'v[0-9]*' --no-contains v2.10.1-3-gcf5c7253e0|sort|tail -n 10

The filtering machinery is generic between the tag, branch &
for-each-ref commands, so once I'd implemented it for tag it was
trivial to add support for this to the other two.

A practical use for this with "branch" is e.g. finding branches which
diverged between 2.8 & 2.10:

    ./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. I
don't see how a --no-contains option for "describe" would make any
sense, other than being exactly equivalent to not supplying --contains
at all, which would be confusing at best.

I'm adding a --without option to "tag" as an alias for --no-contains
for consistency with --with and --contains. Since we don't even
document --with anymore (or test it). The --with option is
undocumented, and possibly the only user of it is Junio[1]. But it's
trivial to support, so let's do that.

Where I'm changing existing documentation lines I'm mainly word
wrapping at 75 columns to be consistent with the existing style. The
changes to Documentation/ are much smaller with: git show --word-diff,
same for the minor change to git-completion.bash.

Most of the test changes I've made are just doing the inverse of the
existing --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 I've added tests for --contains in
combination with --no-contains for all three commands, and 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.

Since we don't need to init/clear the contains_cache unless we're
actually using this filter, I skip that unless filter->no_commit is
true, and while I'm at it amend the code added in Jeff King's
"ref-filter: use separate cache for contains_tag_algo" patch to do
that for filter->with_commit as well.

This is now based on top of pu, which has Jeff King's "fix object flag
pollution in "tag --contains" series. Thus the whole hack to disable
the optimized codepath when both --contains and --no-contains are
provided is gone, since we can use the optimized codepath now.
