Background: In an earlier review, I observed[1] that the "common-" in
the "common-N_group" form was redundant, and I suggested that you
could add a [groups] section listing the groups, and that the order
of items in [groups] would imply the "git help" display order of the
groups, thus allowing you to do away with the "N_" qualifier, as
well. I also observed that you could determine if a command in
[commands] was common by checking if it was tagged with an attribute
from [groups], thus alleviating the need for the "common-" prefix.
This round makes nice headway toward the proposed scheme, although it
still depends upon the redundant "common-" prefix. When I earlier
suggested that awk could be helpful[2], I was thinking of its
associative arrays which could be used to determine if a command in
[commands] was tagged with an attribute from [groups].
I had intended to reply to the current patch with a short "here's
what I had in mind" example of using awk to achieve this goal,
however, the short example ended up implementing the full
functionality, so I went ahead and turned it into a proper patch[6]
(below), and shamelessly re-used your commit message (with minor
changes). You're welcome to include this patch in your re-roll, or
use it as inspiration if you want to write the functionality
yourself.
Some notes about the re-implementation in awk: It assumes that
[groups] has been renamed to [common] as suggested[3], and assumes
that the "common-" prefix has been dropped from the [commands]
attribute entries. The awk script replaces the current shell script
entirely, and all common-cmds.h generation functionality is now
handled by the one awk invocation rather than by a series of commands
invoked by the shell script, which should make it faster (especially
on Windows). Finally, unlike the shell script, the awk script does
not bother sorting commands from command-list.txt since it assumes
that command sorting will happen in parallel with grouping[4].
When the awk script encounters [common], it begins collecting group
names in a grp[] array and emits the appropriate common_cmd_groups[]
"C" initializer for each. Upon encountering [commands], it switches
mode and, for each command line, checks if any attribute with which a
command is tagged exists in grp[]. If so, it emits the appropriate
common_cmds[] "C" initializer. Comment and blank lines are skipped.
By the way, Junio observed[5] that you will need to adjust a couple
Makefiles (and such) to account for the new [common] section and
[commands] header. A good start would be to filter command-list.txt
via this command:
sed '1,/\[commands\]/d' <command-list.txt
which will strip out everything up to and including the [commands]
header.

From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] generate-cmdlist: parse common group commands
Parse the [common] block to create the array of group descriptions:
static char *common_cmd_groups[] = {
N_("starting a working area"),
N_("working on the current change"),
N_("working with others"),
N_("examining the history and state"),
N_("growing, marking and tweaking your history"),
};
then map each element of common_cmds[] to a group via its index:
static struct cmdname_help common_cmds[] = {
{"add", N_("Add file contents to the index"), 1},
{"branch", N_("List, create, or delete branches"), 4},
{"checkout", N_("Checkout a branch or paths to the ..."), 4},
{"clone", N_("Clone a repository into a new directory"), 0},
{"commit", N_("Record changes to the repository"), 4},
...
};
so that 'git help' can print those commands grouped by theme.
Only commands tagged with an attribute from [common] are emitted to
common_cmds[].
