As suggested by naddy: consider commit log messages valid provided the temp file time stamp has changed and the file is not empty. This heuristic provides the desired behaviour (i.e., reusing cherrypicked/backed-out log messages) that's currently provided but is simpler to grok. Improved by and ok stsp@

This supports use of cherrypick/backout without requiring the user to modify the log message of the original commit. ok jamsek, op

Only fetch the work tree's branch if the -b option is not specified. This keeps -b functional as an override when invoked in a work tree. Our previous changes did not consider that got.conf is also a source of lists of branches to fetch, and that -b is supposed to work as an override of any default behaviour. We were implicitly appending the work tree's branch as if it was mentioned as an override on the command line, which was wrong and based on a misunderstanding of the intended behaviour. Without -b on the command line we obtain a list of branches to fetch from got.conf and use this list if it is not empty. The repository's HEAD will be fetched only if neither the -b option, nor got.conf, nor a work tree tell us what to fetch. Make the man page more clear by moving the explanation of the default behaviour into the main section of 'got fetch', leaving the -a and -b option descriptions free of such details. ok jamsek

As per stsp's todo item, if invoked in a work tree, make 'got fetch' default to fetching the work tree's current branch instead of the branch pointed to by the remote repository's HEAD. ok stsp@ and op@

Like -f, except drop all commits. Discussed with op and stsp on irc. ok stsp@

Create new logmsg references used to populate the editor with the log messages of backed-out and cherrypicked commits when 'got commit' is run. We use versioned path state heuristics during revert and commit commands in an effort to ensure the editor is only populated with the log messages of backed-out and/or cherrypicked commits involving paths with local changes that are being committed. This is an implementation of an initial idea and algorithm designed by stsp. inputs, improvments and ok stsp@

This eliminates the previous performance cost by making 'got log -d' and tog diff view compute the diffstat while building the diff in a temp file like we do with 'got diff -d'. Also, keep the current 'got log -d' UI as per stsp's suggestion. ok stsp@

Like got log -d, add the switch to 'got diff' to display a diffstat of changes; as per stsp's suggestion, we always include diff output with the diffstat. Disabled in gotwebd (for now :) Includes tweaks from op@ ok stsp@
