Pavel Raiskup reports that ${1+"$@"} runs afoul of a bug in /bin/sh
(derived from ksh 93t+ 2010-03-05). ${1+"$@"} works around an ancient
bug long-dead shells, so remove the workaround.

This is fix for --format regression introduced by commit
2b93079a5d1baa4d; it caused that --format='%s%n%n%b%n' (see the
doubled %n string) had no effect anymore. This format
specification has been used e.g. by GNU paxuitils (commit
edfd8bcc3).
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (main): Stop squashing multiple
newlines in commmit messages.
Let the Emacs ChangeLog generation process exclude "skipped"
messages from merge commits (Bug#20717).
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Handle gitmerge.el skipped commits.
(This patch is imported from the GNU Emacs master.)
This option ignores individual commit lines matching a pattern.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Add --ignore-line option.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (main):
Trim trailing white space from commit message lines.
This is helpful for processing the GNU Emacs repository,
which dates back to 1985 and contains a lot of such lines.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (usage, git_dir_option, main):
Support new option --ignore-matching=PAT, which ignores all
commit messages whose first line matches PAT.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (main): Use getopt's "!" attribute
to enable both --cluster and --no-cluster. Change variable name,
s/\$no_cluster/$cluster/, and reverse usage to match.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (main): Don't let a %-directive
in a name string cause trouble. E.g., with a user name of "%s",
gitlog-to-changelog would fail with "Missing argument in sprintf at..."
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (main): Map the string, at beginning
of line in a git commit log, "Copyright-paperwork-exempt: yes", to
the " (tiny change)" notation that is appended to the standard
ChangeLog "date name email" header line.
Identical header lines (date,name,email+coauthors) are suppressed,
thus putting all entries with those same characteristics under
a single header. However, when a log entry consists of two or
more paragraphs, it may not be clear where it starts and ends.
This change makes it so that such an entry is always separated
from others by a header line, even when that header would
otherwise be suppressed.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Implement the above.
Inspired by a related request from Stefano Lattarini in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/29456
The FSF cares about keeping track of all authors of patches to its
projects, but Git doesn't provide obvious support for multi-author
changesets. Consensus seems to be forming around the use of extra
Signed-off-by inspired lines in the log message formatted as
`Co-authored-by: A U Thor <email@example.com>' for round-tripping
multi-author commits between version control systems.
* gitlog-to-changelog: Extract `Co-authored-by:' lines from the git
log message and output in standard ChangeLog multi-author format.
Reported by Peter Rosin <peda@lysator.liu.se>
Git logs are often treated as immutable, because editing them
changes the SHA1 checksums of all descendants. Thus, errors in
git logs tend to stay there forever. However, when we generate
a ChangeLog file -- typically for distribution -- from that git log,
we can actually make corrections in the generated file. The key
lies in recording in machine-readable/applicable form the desired
corrections. See --help for description and an example.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (parse_amend_file): New function.
(usage): Describe it; alphabetize option descriptions.
(main): Honor the new option, carefully.
git-log mishandles date strings before 1970-01-01 UTC, and there is
no use to specify --since=1970-01-01 by default anyway.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: By default, when no --since option
was given, do not specify explicit --since option to git-log.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Move the code that removes leading and
trailing blank lines before the code that issues a warning about an
empty commit message.
The files named by the following are exempted:
grep -v '^#' config/srclist.txt|grep -v '^$' \
| while read src dst; do
test -f "$dst" && { echo "$dst"; continue; }
test -d "$dst" || continue
echo "$dst"/$(basename "$src")
done > exempt
git ls-files tests/unictype >> exempt
In the remaining files, convert to all-interval notation if
- there is already at least one year interval like 2000-2003
- the file is maintained by me
- the file is in lib/uni*/, where that style already prevails
Otherwise, use update-copyright's default.
Rather than putting #!/usr/bin/perl on the first line,
start with a variant of what's recommended by "man perlrun" that
invokes the first "perl" program from your shell's search path.
* build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Replace #!... as above.
Add a "Local Variables" perl mode setting.
Prompted by a patch from Ludovic Courtès.

* build-aux/announce-gen: Likewise.
* build-aux/update-copyright: Likewise.
When producing a ChangeLog, it is sometimes convenient
to filter the commits in various ways. gitlog-to-changelog
only allows --since to specify a start date, but git-log
itself supports many other filtering mechanisms. At the
moment, I want to filter by branch name. Rather than adding
a --branch option to gitlog-to-changelog, it seems more
flexible to simply pass all options directly to git-log
and let git do the work. Notice that this effectively
makes --since a redundant option for gitlog-to-changelog,
but removing it would require current usage to change since
calls would then require an additional '--'.
