Lucas Seiki Oshiro 155caac7d1 repo: add --all to git-repo-info
Add a new flag `--all` to git-repo-info for requesting values for all
the available keys. By using this flag, the user can retrieve all the
values instead of searching what are the desired keys for what they
wants.

NAME
----
git-repo - Retrieve information about the repository
SYNOPSIS
--------
[synopsis]
git repo info [--format=(keyvalue|nul)] [-z] [--all | <key>...]
git repo structure [--format=(table|keyvalue|nul)]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Retrieve information about the repository.
THIS COMMAND IS EXPERIMENTAL. THE BEHAVIOR MAY CHANGE.
COMMANDS
--------
`info [--format=(keyvalue|nul)] [-z] [--all | <key>...]`::
Retrieve metadata-related information about the current repository. Only
the requested data will be returned based on their keys (see "INFO KEYS"
section below).
+
The values are returned in the same order in which their respective keys were
requested. The `--all` flag requests the values for all the available keys.
+
The output format can be chosen through the flag `--format`. Two formats are
supported:
+
`keyvalue`:::
output key-value pairs one per line using the `=` character as
the delimiter between the key and the value. Values containing "unusual"
characters are quoted as explained for the configuration variable
`core.quotePath` (see linkgit:git-config[1]). This is the default.
`nul`:::
similar to `keyvalue`, but using a newline character as the delimiter
between the key and the value and using a NUL character after each value.
This format is better suited for being parsed by another applications than
`keyvalue`. Unlike in the `keyvalue` format, the values are never quoted.
+
`-z` is an alias for `--format=nul`.
`structure [--format=(table|keyvalue|nul)]`::
Retrieve statistics about the current repository structure. The
following kinds of information are reported:
+
* Reference counts categorized by type
* Reachable object counts categorized by type
+
The output format can be chosen through the flag `--format`. Three formats are
supported:
+
`table`:::
Outputs repository stats in a human-friendly table. This format may
change and is not intended for machine parsing. This is the default
format.
`keyvalue`:::
Each line of output contains a key-value pair for a repository stat.
The '=' character is used to delimit between the key and the value.
Values containing "unusual" characters are quoted as explained for the
configuration variable `core.quotePath` (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
`nul`:::
Similar to `keyvalue`, but uses a NUL character to delimit between
key-value pairs instead of a newline. Also uses a newline character as
the delimiter between the key and value instead of '='. Unlike the
`keyvalue` format, values containing "unusual" characters are never
quoted.
INFO KEYS
---------
In order to obtain a set of values from `git repo info`, you should provide
the keys that identify them. Here's a list of the available keys and the
values that they return:
`layout.bare`::
`true` if this is a bare repository, otherwise `false`.
`layout.shallow`::
`true` if this is a shallow repository, otherwise `false`.
`object.format`::
The object format (hash algorithm) used in the repository.
`references.format`::
The reference storage format. The valid values are:
+
include::ref-storage-format.adoc[]
EXAMPLES
--------
* Retrieves the reference format of the current repository:
+
------------
git repo info references.format
------------
+
* Retrieves whether the current repository is bare and whether it is shallow
using the `nul` format:
+
------------
git repo info --format=nul layout.bare layout.shallow
------------
