Hope this can help commit --trailer more useful!

Base on https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/901, The original patch series was too long so now split it into two.

Helped by Junio and Jeff, Thanks.

[PATCH 1/2] [GSOC] commit: add --trailer option

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line. But users may need to provide other trailer information from the command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by",

Now implement a new `--trailer <token>[(=|:)<value>]` option to pass other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit messages.

[PATCH 2/2] [GSOC] interpret-trailer: easy parse trailer value

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

The original `-trailer` adding some trailers like "Signed-off-by:C O <Mister@email.com>" is often too verbose and error-prone.

Now add the syntax parse for the value of `--trailer`: e.g. "Signed-off-by:@Junio", git will fuzzy search in the commit history to find the latest one commit which matches `--author=Junio`, and get the "author <email>" pair `Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>` as the value of `--trailer`, it will be a easy way to add trailers. git commit --trailer` can also benefit from this.

As I already said, we do not want to pretend that this is a generally reusable helper function. We should at least have a comment to tell people to never add new callers to this function, with explanation of the reason.

Telling people not to add any new caller is good, but everything after "because" does not make sense to me.

I do not think calling find_author_by_nickname() in a subprocess alone would not help somebody who wants to do this, either. We'd be doing a moral equivalent of that call, but the result has to be communicated back to the parent process,

In the longer term, we'd probably want to have a pre-computed table of contributors, like we have precomputed files for reachability bitmaps, commit DAG topology, and such, but that is obviously far outside of the scope of this series.

What I am thinking about here is that `commit --trailer` itself jumps to a
sub-process to do this, but this does depend on the fact that
`interpret-trailers`
 itself does not have a traversal, and indeed should not be arbitrarily call it.

Indeed this will be a very big project. But `.mailmap` always makes me feel similar.

[PATCH v2 0/2] [GSOC] interpret-trailer: easy parse trailer value

Hope this can help commit --trailer more useful!

Base on https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/pull/901, The original patch series was too long so now split it into two.

Helped by Junio and Jeff, Thanks.

[PATCH v2 2/2] [GSOC] interpret-trailer: easy parse trailer value

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

The original `-trailer` adding some trailers like "Signed-off-by:C O <Mister@email.com>" is often too verbose and error-prone.

Now add the syntax parse for the value of `--trailer`: e.g. "Signed-off-by:@Junio", git will fuzzy search in the commit history to find the latest one commit which matches `--author=Junio`, and get the "author <email>" pair `Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>` as the value of `--trailer`, it will be a easy way to add trailers. git commit --trailer` can also benefit from this.

I think please consider this case: When I add --trailer "Reviewed-by:@bat", and there are two identity pairs that match (`batman <email1>` and `batman <email2>`), I need to choose one that will be in the trailer (for example because <email1> is primary email). So a disambiguation prompt should be added, something like:

```
There are <N> identities that match, please choose one that will be added to the trailer:
1) batman <email1>
2) batman <email2>
...
n) batman <emailn>
```
The prompt can be repeated for each trailer values that are non-unique.
Thanks

Hi,

I think this kind of prompt will be beneficial to users, temporarily adopt the method of `find_author_by_nickname()` to get the last match commit "name <eamil>" pair. If I want to find all these matched "name <eamil>" pairs and exclude duplicates, I may need to think about it for a while.

I mean the error should be:
```
error: @batman match multiple identities:
1) batman <email1>
2) batman <email2>
...
n) batman <emailn>
Please disambiguate by running "git commit --trailer" with full identity, like:
     git commit --trailer="<someone> <<email>>" <options>...

Detecting error alone is probably prohibitively expensive, as it takes you to scan _all_ commits down to the beginning of time to pruve that a given pattern matches one and only one author ident.

Assuming that we would pay that cost (I doubt we would want to, though), additional cost to show all possible hits would be small and manageable, I think.

The 'trailer.<token>.command' config option can already be used to help with that, for example:

------- $ git config trailer.sign.key "Signed-off-by: " $ git config trailer.sign.ifexists replace $ git config trailer.sign.command "git log --author='\$ARG' -1 --format='format:%aN <%aE>'" $ git interpret-trailers --trailer sign=Linus<<EOF subject

body EOF subject

body
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
-------

So even without this patch, after your first patch that implements `git commit --trailer ...`, it should be easy to setup something less verbose and less error-prone.

Hey, Christian, `@nickname` can provides a "quick" way for those users who haven't config as you mention. I hope I am not wrong.

It is nice that it makes the complexity of 2/2 unnecessary ;-)

A little frustrated, both `--own-identity` and `@nickname` seem to be
 rejected. I will roll back to the first patch.

It's good to want to implement new features, and to come up quickly with patches, but it's also good to give people time on this list to discuss the goals you would like to achieve, and which features are already available or should be implement to achieve the goals.

Thanks for working on this topic anyway!

I basically started coding after receiving the first reviewer's comment. It seems that I should be more patient.

If existing functionality can be used to achieve the same end result without any extra effort by end-users, that's a happy endgame, isn't it? There isn't a reason to be frustrated---the users benefit with the new --trailer option without adding (hence having to learn) new extra features like --own-ident or @name, which is a big plus.

[PATCH v2 1/2] [GSOC] commit: add --trailer option

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Historically, Git has supported the 'Signed-off-by' commit trailer using the '--signoff' and the '-s' option from the command line. But users may need to provide other trailer information from the command line such as "Helped-by", "Reported-by", "Mentored-by",

Now implement a new `--trailer <token>[(=|:)<value>]` option to pass other trailers to `interpret-trailers` and insert them into commit messages.
