git stash list with more than 10 items?

git stash list with more than 10 items?

[Jef Driesen]

Hi,

Is it possible to make "git stash list" show more than 10 items?

Try "git stash list -30".

Stash listing is internally just "git log -g refs/stash", so you can
pass any formatting or limiting arguments you want there (see the git
log documentation for ideas). If no arguments are given, we pass "-10".

This seems fairly arbitrary, doesn't it?  My own working theory is
that Nanako put it in because the git-log|sed construct inherently
bars any way to a pager, so it needs to be cut short.

So suppose we could somehow get rid of the |sed... like if we had
--pretty specifiers for the reflog information.

Sadly

  git log -g --format="%h %g: %G"

still fails to exactly replicate the reflog format: if the reflog was
cut off during garbage collection, the last entry refers to a no
longer existing commit causing a stray ':' on that line.  Oh, well.

It's also still RFC because:

* I don't like the massive code churn in 2/5, maybe someone sees a
  better option.

* 5/5 has a pretty lame excuse.  I could also just change it in 'git
  stash list' to limit the backwards-incompatibility damage, but
  that's also a maintenance headache.


Thomas Rast (5):
  reflog-walk: refactor the branch@{num} formatting
  Introduce new pretty formats %g and %G for reflog information
  stash: Use new %g/%G formats instead of sed
  stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashes
  stash: change built-in ref to 'stash' instead of 'refs/stash'

We'll use the same output in an upcoming commit, so refactor its

[RFC PATCH 2/5] Introduce new pretty formats %g and %G for reflog information

[Thomas Rast]

Add two new pretty escapes: %g expands to the reflog selector (i.e.,
branch@{number} or branch@{date}) and %G expands to the reflog
message.

We use the newly refactored selector formatting function and introduce
another wrapper to get the reflog message.

Unfortunately, we also need to pass down the reflog_walk_info from
show_log(), so this commit touches a lot of (unrelated) callers to
pretty_print_commit() and format_commit_message() to accomodate the
extra argument.

A while back I wanted to add a feature to pretty-printing, and I ran
into the same situation (though my feature never made it to the list).
We really end up passing around the same arguments over and over.  Maybe
it makes sense instead of adding another argument to refactor into a
"pretty_print_context" struct that contains all of the arguments and
current state.

It would be an even more invasive patch, but I think it would make
things more readable, and make future changes much easier to see.

[RFC PATCH 3/5] stash: Use new %g/%G formats instead of sed

[Thomas Rast]

With the new formats, we can rewrite 'git stash list' in terms of an
appropriate pretty format, instead of hand-editing with sed.  This has
the advantage that it obeys the normal settings for git-log, notably
the pager.

You dropped the trailing "--" which is needed for disambiguation.

[RFC PATCH 4/5] stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashes

[Thomas Rast]

'git stash list' had an undocumented limit of 10 stashes, unless other
git-log arguments were specified.  This surprised at least one user,
but possibly served to cut the output below a screenful without using
a pager.

Since the last commit, 'git stash list' will fire up a pager according
to the same rules as the 'git log' it calls, so we can drop the limit.

Having slept on it, I think I agree that this is a good change. It fixes
the ugly corner cases I mentioned, and it is easier to explain.

[RFC PATCH 5/5] stash: change built-in ref to 'stash' instead of 'refs/stash'

[Thomas Rast]

'git stash list' now always shows 'refs/stash@{...}' instead of
'stash@{...}', because that's what we specify for the ref.

Since git checks .git/$ref, .git/refs/$ref and only then
.git/refs/{branches,tags,remotes}, we can drop the prefix.  This only
affects people who have .git/stash, who were never able to refer to
their stashes by stash@{...}.  (Sadly, now they won't be able to use
git-stash anymore at all.)

Maybe a better solution would be a "short name" variant for pretty
format specifiers. We already have %(refname) and %(refname:short) in
for-each-ref, where the latter cuts off "refs/heads/", "refs/tags", or
"refs/remotes/" from the beginning. I'm not sure if it does just
"refs/", but probably it should. It may even check for ambiguity, but
I'd have to double-check the code.

The tricky part would be deciding on a syntax. This seems to come up a
fair bit. I think there is room for somebody to suggest a more expansive
--format syntax that can handle arbitrary arguments being given to
expansions (I think there was some discussion recently in a related
thread about body indentation, but I haven't been following it too
closely).

[PATCH v2 0/5] Pretty formats for reflog data

[Thomas Rast]

> The tricky part would be deciding on a syntax. This seems to come up a

Ok, I settled for %g[dDs] for now to save on letters.  I'm saving the
syntax question for a later series while we discuss this one ;-)

I think going for %(...) wouldn't be too bad since we already have
that in for-each-ref, and it can be backwards compatible.  So we would
have different sets of short and long specifiers, e.g.

  %ae = %(authoremail)
  %aE = %(authoremail:mailmap)

We can then pass arguments via some yet-to-be decided syntax, say,
%(body:indent(10)).

Other changes in this version include:

* I followed your struct suggestion, which is the new 1/5.

* Since the shortening can be handled by %gd, the old 5/5 (change from
  refs/stash to only stash) is no longer needed.

* I fixed the warning that Junio found (and finally found the right
  combination of -W flags, though I cannot compile with -Werror myself
  because of *other* warnings...)

I also added tests and docs to the main patch (now 3/5).

[PATCH v2 1/5] Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct

[Thomas Rast]

pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites.  Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.

The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.

We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

[PATCH v2 2/5] reflog-walk: refactor the branch@{num} formatting

[Thomas Rast]

We'll use the same output in an upcoming commit, so refactor its
formatting (which was duplicated anyway) into a separate function.

[PATCH v2 3/5] Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information

[Thomas Rast]

Add three new --pretty=format escapes:

  %gD  long  reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
  %gd  short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
  %gs  reflog message

This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.

We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref.  The shortening has a
very simple 1-element cache, since it will usually be called with the
same ref every time.  Add another helper get_reflog_message() for the
message extraction.

Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog.  This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

Yeah, I see what you are talking about in my git.git repo. I am tempted
to suggest cutting it out of both formats, as it is somewhat confusing,
but it does actually convey a slight bit of information (even if
information that is extremely unlikely to be of use).

I am also fine with leaving it, and if we one day invent the
"conditionally include the ': '" syntax, using it then.

Should we give a note that these do nothing if "-g" was not given?

Clever. I hadn't considered caching, but you are right that
shorten_unambiguous_ref is a bit heavyweight to be calling for every
entry.

A test for '%gd' would be nice. A squashable one is below. I am tempted
to test all three forms in t6006, since the intent of that script is to
test all format specifiers. However, those tests would be somewhat
redundant with your t1411 tests.

I had a slightly better idea today: We can just put an extra member
into the complete_reflogs struct, i.e., a short_ref to go along with
the ref.  It'll take a bit of auditing to verify that all allocations
are zeroed, but since the struct is local to the file that shouldn't
be so hard.

Ah, yeah, I looked for "reflog" instead of something about pretty, so
I ended up with t1411.  t6006 is a better fit.  Thanks for the extra
test!

[PATCH v3 0/5] Pretty formats for reflog data

[Thomas Rast]

Next round :-)

I only changed 3/5, as per your comments:

I tried for some time, but all attempts at interrupting the lists
ended up terminating it again, so that the %g family list would not
line up with the rest of the parameters.  Having the note there would
be nice, but I think keeping the list together optically is more
important.  However, AFAICS it really is the first character that only
works with certain options (%m makes little sense without A...B, but
still expands to >).

Looking at it did make me notice that @{1} is invalid asciidoc and
needs to be spelled @\{1\} though :-)

I added yours and moved my tests to t6006 too, as indicated in the
other mail.

I also changed the caching, as outlined earlier:

There's in fact only a single allocation (with xcalloc).

[PATCH v3 1/5] Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct

[Thomas Rast]

pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites.  Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.

The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.

We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

Good idea, a slightly sloppy/careless execution.

The existing calls to format_commit_message() often take DATE_NORMAL to
its "enum date_mode dmode" argument, and you replaced it with a pointer to
a struct.  DATE_NORMAL happens to be "0" and the compiler does not catch
calls you forgot to convert in this patch.

Hmph, that's embarrassing.  Apparently I was way too focused on
pretty_print_commit...

I can devise a test that would have detected this.  Should I include
it in the reroll, or is that something we do not guard against?

This is nothing to be embarrassed about.  I did not notice it when I
queued the series either, and I noticed it only when I tried to look at
interactions with js/diff-verbose-submodule topic(the other series does
not hardcode the style to be DATE_NORMAL).

One solution to help the compiler catch this kind of semantic crash upon
merging or applying code based on the old format_commit_message() would
have been to change its function signature (or even the name), so that it
would not go unnoticed that DATE_NORMAL that happens to be "0" is silently
interpreted as (void *)0 == NULL.

Indeed, that would have been a good idea.  (I still don't fully see
the use of allowing an enum value as a pointer, but apparently the
standard's that way.)

I fixed the calls to format_commit_message(), but without changing the
function signature compared to the last patch.  I also decided not to
put in the test case; the easiest I could come up with was the
following:

which immediately fails most tests in the file because of segfaults
with the buggy series.  However, it still wouldn't catch other broken
callers, if there were any, so I left it out.

Compared to v3, I also rebased the series on current master, which
conflicted with 7f98ebc (format_commit_message(): fix function
signature, 2009-10-15) so you now need that commit to apply it.

Finally, I squashed a revert of 0a0c342 (git-stash documentation:
mention default options for 'list', 2009-10-12) into 5/5 since there
are no more default options after my patch.

[PATCH v4 1/5] Refactor pretty_print_commit arguments into a struct

[Thomas Rast]

pretty_print_commit() has a bunch of rarely-used arguments, and
introducing more of them requires yet another update of all the call
sites.  Refactor most of them into a struct to make future extensions
easier.

The ones that stay "plain" arguments were chosen on the grounds that
all callers put real arguments there, whereas some callers have 0/NULL
for all arguments that were factored into the struct.

We declare the struct 'const' to ensure none of the callers are bitten
by the changed (no longer call-by-value) semantics.

[PATCH v4 2/5] reflog-walk: refactor the branch@{num} formatting

[Thomas Rast]

We'll use the same output in an upcoming commit, so refactor its
formatting (which was duplicated anyway) into a separate function.

[PATCH v4 3/5] Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information

[Thomas Rast]

Add three new --pretty=format escapes:

  %gD  long  reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
  %gd  short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
  %gs  reflog message

This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.

We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref.  The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0.  Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.

Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog.  This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

Thanks to Jeff King for reviews, the %gd testcase and documentation.

[PATCH v4 4/5] stash list: use new %g formats instead of sed

[Thomas Rast]

With the new formats, we can rewrite 'git stash list' in terms of an
appropriate pretty format, instead of hand-editing with sed.  This has
the advantage that it obeys the normal settings for git-log, notably
the pager.

[PATCH v4 5/5] stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashes

[Thomas Rast]

'git stash list' had an undocumented limit of 10 stashes, unless other
git-log arguments were specified.  This surprised at least one user,
but possibly served to cut the output below a screenful without using
a pager.

Since the last commit, 'git stash list' will fire up a pager according
to the same rules as the 'git log' it calls, so we can drop the limit.

[PATCH v3 3/5] Introduce new pretty formats %g[sdD] for reflog information

[Thomas Rast]

Add three new --pretty=format escapes:

  %gD  long  reflog descriptor (e.g. refs/stash@{0})
  %gd  short reflog descriptor (e.g. stash@{0})
  %gs  reflog message

This is achieved by passing down the reflog info, if any, inside the
pretty_print_context struct.

We use the newly refactored get_reflog_selector(), and give it some
extra functionality to extract a shortened ref.  The shortening is
cached inside the commit_reflogs struct; the only allocation of it
happens in read_complete_reflog(), where it is initialised to 0.  Also
add another helper get_reflog_message() for the message extraction.

Note that the --format="%h %gD: %gs" tests may not work in real
repositories, as the --pretty formatter doesn't know to leave away the
": " on the last commit in an incomplete (because git-gc removed the
old part) reflog.  This equivalence is nevertheless the main goal of
this patch.

Thanks to Jeff King for reviews and the %gd testcase.

This sadly backfired, as I forgot to snip out the in-reply-to in the
mail itself and git-send-email apparently trusted that more.  Sorry
for the confusion.

Sure.  I figured it was obvious enough, but since you already went to
the lengths of documenting the exact behaviour of %d, I squashed it
and adjusted the acknowledgement in the commit message accordingly.

Perhaps just-introduced grouping syntax would help there?  You could
for example write

  --format="%h%[all() %gD: %gs%]"

which would expand nested group if _all_ placeholders within it have
expansion.  Perhaps %[ ... %], or %[? ... %], or %[* ... %] could be
shorter versions...

[PATCH v3 4/5] stash list: use new %g formats instead of sed

[Thomas Rast]

With the new formats, we can rewrite 'git stash list' in terms of an
appropriate pretty format, instead of hand-editing with sed.  This has
the advantage that it obeys the normal settings for git-log, notably
the pager.

[PATCH v3 5/5] stash list: drop the default limit of 10 stashes

[Thomas Rast]

'git stash list' had an undocumented limit of 10 stashes, unless other
git-log arguments were specified.  This surprised at least one user,
but possibly served to cut the output below a screenful without using
a pager.

Since the last commit, 'git stash list' will fire up a pager according
to the same rules as the 'git log' it calls, so we can drop the limit.

Another example is "%d", but there we load decorations on the fly the
first time it is used. I don't think that's a good idea here, since
using "%gd" shouldn't automatically imply "-g", which drastically
changes the nature of the command.

The "%m" behavior does what I would expect. If you haven't done any
limiting, then there can be no "left" or "boundary" entries.

I am tempted to do a note like the one below, but maybe the behavior is
obvious enough to users that it isn't necessary.

:) That is probably sensible. Your %g[dD] doesn't support selecting
between the numbered version and the "date" version, which is something
we might want, but certainly it is no worse than the status quo (and
doing something like that probably _would_ want an extended syntax, as
you now have two orthogonal arguments: shorten and date/numbered).

That seems reasonable to me, though if we can limit ourselves to one
argument per specifier (I suspect most specifiers would simply be
boolean, but a few may take numbers or strings), then something like
%(body:indent=10) might be a little more readable.

It would also be nice to have some sort of conditional inclusion, which
could deal with your extra ": " in patch 3. Either something like:

  %(reflog:short)%(reflog:+: )

or even

  %(reflog:short:prefix=\: )

and note that allowing arbitrary arguments means we get to deal with
quoting.

But that is all for another potential series.

I always compile with -Wall -Werror (including testing your series);
what warnings are you getting?

Or we could go the whole nine miles, and implement some subset of
advanced shell syntax, 

  %(parameter:-word)
  %(parameter:=word)
  %(parameter:?word)
  %(parameter:+word)

RPM spec syntax, 

  %(?parameter)      # expand if exists
  %(!?parameter)     # expand if does not exists
  %(?parameter:literal)
  %(!?parameter:literal)

or RPM queryformat

  %10(parameter)
  %-30(parameter)

  [    %(messagebody)\n]   # messagebody is list of lines
  [%(=param) %(list)\n]    # param is not a list; repeat it

  %|parameter?{present}:{missing}|

Yes, it's arbitrary, though it is probably a reasonable estimate for the
intended use of stash. It's a stack, so you generally are only
interested in the last couple of entries.

What's much worse though is that the logic is not "if you told me how
many to show, show that; otherwise, show 10".  Instead it is "if you
gave me no options, default the size of the list.  But if you gave me
any options, even if they have nothing whatsoever to do with limiting
the size of the list, then show all".

So something like "git stash list --date=relative" suddenly shows many more
stashes than just "git stash list". It would be nice to fix that.

I'm not sure if people will like having a longer list in a pager than a
shorter list without one (I personally can't remember ever using "git
stash list", so I have no strong opinion).

But certainly the idea of adding pretty format specifiers to access
reflog data seems like a good idea on its own.

True.  Then again we patched git-stash(1) to recommend stash/pop over
stash/apply, so we should actively show the user that s/he has a long
stash list and may want to apply them somewhere.
