Improve look of commit search output ('search' view) by better cutting
of matched string and its context in match info, as suggested by Junio.
For example, if you are looking for "very long search string" in the
following line:
Could somebody test this with very long search string, and see how
you would now see:
...this with <<very long ... string>>, and see...
instead of:
Could som... <<very long search...>>, and see...
(where <<something>> denotes emphasized / colored fragment; matched
fragment to be more exact).
For this feature, support for fourth [optional] parameter to chop_str
subroutine was added. This fourth parameter is used to denote where
to cut string to make it shorter. chop_str can now cut at the
beginning (from the _left_ side of the string), in the middle
(_center_ of the string), or at the end (from the _right_ side of
the string); cutting from right is the default:
chop_str(somestring, len, slop, 'left') -> ' ...string'
chop_str(somestring, len, slop, 'center') -> 'som ... ing'
chop_str(somestring, len, slop, 'right') -> 'somestr... '
If you want to use default slop (default additional length), use undef
as value for third parameter to chop_str.
While at it, return from chop_str early if given string is so short
that chop_str couldn't shorten it. Simplify also regexp used by
chop_str. Make ellipsis (dots) stick to shortened fragment for
cutting at ends, to better see which part got shortened.
Simplify passing all arguments to chop_str in chop_and_escape_str
subroutine. This was needed to pass additional options to chop_str.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
