Subject: 25.1.91; vc-git-log-{incoming,outgoing} fixes

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Yesterday I discovered the useful vc-log-outgoing command.  It isn't
conveniently bound in vc-dir mode, so I added a binding.  But then I
discovered a couple of bugs in the git back end; and then later
discovered that the same bugs affect vc-git-log-incoming.

First, vc-git-log-incoming and vc-git-log-outgoing can be called with a
nil value for remote-location.  In this case nothing shows up in the
log.  Changing the code to treat nil the same as the empty string makes
the commands show the data I would expect.

Next, these commands move point to the end of the new buffer.  However,
that is weird, because then the buffer is shrunk to fit; for me this
ends up making it look like I have just a single outgoing patch, even
when I have several.  Changing these functions to pass 'async to
vc-git-command fixes this.

Finally, vc-git-log-view-mode only sets truncate-lines in some
situations; I have changed it to also set it for log-outgoing and
log-incoming, which makes the output of these commands more closely
resemble the output of vc-print-log.

    vc-log-outgoing fixes for git; add binding to vc-dir
    
    * lisp/vc/vc-dir.el (vc-dir-mode-map): Bind "O" to vc-log-outgoing.
    * lisp/vc/vc-git.el (vc-git-log-outgoing, vc-git-log-incoming): Handle
    remote-location being nil.  Use 'async.
    (vc-git-log-view-mode): Also truncate lines for log-outgoing and
    log-incoming.

Do you know when they get called with ""?

Should we maybe just change the callers to always use one or the other 
value?

Any ideas why that happens? I can see point ending up at eob when the 
call is synchronous, but that doesn't affect the shrinking behavior much 
(e.g. I have 13 lines, the window shrinks correctly but hides the first 
line because the cursor is after the last line, and it has to be visible).

I've only tested this in vc-log-incoming, however.

I don't mind, but it would be great to know the underlying reasons for 
the problems. And we have a somewhat similar bug with vc-print-root-log, 
too (point jumps to the end when the log is small enough or something).

Sounds good.

Dmitry> Do you know when they get called with ""?

vc-log-outgoing does:

  (interactive
   (when current-prefix-arg
     (list (read-string "Remote location (empty for default): "))))

So a prefix argument followed by pressing enter.

Seems reasonable, I'll change vc-log-outgoing.

There are two pieces.

As you say, point ends up at eob due to vc-do-command using process-file
in the synchronous case; whereas for the async case, vc-process-filter
uses save-excursion.

The other behavior seems to be a problem in
shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer.  I can reproduce it easily just
with any buffer by moving point to the end.  I didn't debug this any
further than finding that.

Yes, and it's a problem we need to fix either way.

Might want to look into that sometime. I've tried that in different 
configurations, and 'M-x shrink-window-if-larger-than-buffer' doesn't do 
anything if the buffer is longer than the current window height.

If it's shorter, the window gets shrunk appropriately, with only the 
off-by-one scrolling problem.
