I'm probably not the only one whose fingers have gotten hard-wired to
use "-u" for "unified diff".
|
|
Also move the common implementation of parsing the --pretty argument
format into commit.c rather than having duplicates in diff-tree.c and
rev-list.c.

Like diff-tree, this patch makes -C option for diff-* brothers
to use only pre-image of modified files as rename/copy detection
by default. Give --find-copies-harder to use unmodified files
to find copies from as well.
This also fixes "diff-files -C" problem earlier noticed by
Linus. It was feeding the null sha1 even when the file in the
work tree was known to match what is in the index file. This
resulted in diff-files showing everything in the project.

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that
consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:
- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
(deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them.
- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).
For example,
$ git-rev-list HEAD |
git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR
shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

Normally, diff-tree does not feed unchanged filepair to diffcore
for performance reasons, so copies are detected only when the
source file of the copy happens to be modified in the same
changeset. This adds --find-copies-harder flag to tell
diff-tree to sacrifice the performance in order to find copies
the same way as other commands in diff-* family.

You can ask to print out "raw" format (full headers, full body),
"medium" format (author and date, full body) or "short" format
(author only, condensed body).
Use "git-rev-list --pretty=short HEAD | less -S" for an example.

This cleans up diff_scoreopt_parse() function that is used to
parse the fractional notation -B, -C and -M option takes. The
callers are modified to check for errors and complain. Earlier
they silently ignored malformed input and falled back on the
default.

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings:
- clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse";
rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically
they are different when -C is involved.
- describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was
implemented, documented but not described in usage text.
Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B),
this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between
diff.c and diffcore backends).

The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode
in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a
tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644
pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to
feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine,
which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch
fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that
uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a
similar way.
Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree
when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository
itself.

A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes
a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches
that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are
output before patches that match a later line, and patches that
do not match any glob pattern are output last.
A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like
this:

*.h

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.
When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.
Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

No need to make them multiple lines, in fact we explicitly don't want that.
This also fixes a 64-bit problem pointed out by Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer,
where we gave "%.*s" a "ptrdiff_t" length argument instead of an "int".

diff-tree does the culling of uninteresting paths internally, and
fundamentally has to do so for performance reasons. So there's no
point in calling the separate pathname culling logic here,
especially as it seems slightly broken.

This adds a "-t" flag to tell the raw diff output to include the tree
objects in the output when doing a recursive diff.
Since that's how the non-recursive output already handles trees and the
flag thus doesn't make sense without "-r", I made "-t" imply "-r".

logic should not decide which delete to discard (because another entry

Thomas Glanzmann noticed that diff-tree -z HEAD piped to
diff-helper -z did not work. Since diff-helper -z expects NUL
terminated lines, we should generate such.
The output side of the diff-helper should always be using '\n'
termination; earlier it used the same line_termination used for
the input side, which was a mistake.

This moves the path selection logic from individual programs to a new
diffcore transformer (diff-tree still needs to have its own for
performance reasons). Also the header printing code in diff-tree was
tweaked not to produce anything when pickaxe is in effect and there is
nothing interesting to report. An interesting example is the following
in the GIT archive itself:
$ git-whatchanged -p -C -S'or something in a real script'

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.
The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.
Updated are both documentations and tests.

Make the commit explanation buffer larger, and make sure that if
we truncate it, we put a "..." marker there to visually tell people
about the truncation (tested with a much smaller buffer to make
sure it looks sane).
Also make sure that the explanation is properly line-terminated,
and add an extra newline iff we have a diff.

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.
This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]
Also -M<digits-as-mantissa> suggestion made by Linus has been
implemented.

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').
Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.
This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of
patch, except a few minor cleanups in the calling convention into diff
core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.

This normally doesn't matter, but if you have a filename that is
sometimes a directory and sometimes a regular file (or symlink),
we don't want the regular file case to trigger a "partial match".
|
|
We still need to check which part of the sub-tree is interesting.
|
|
We used to trigger the "interesting subdirectory" check for any
matching name that started with the same character series, regardless
of whether it had the matching slash or not.
|
|
We can't just do the "sha1_to_hex()" thing directly, since the
buffer in question will be overwritten by the name of the parent.
So teach diff_tree_commit() to generate the proper hex name itself.
|
|
We use "--" to mark end of command line switches, not "-". Also,
allow more flexibility in the passed-in sha1 names, in that a
single sha1 uses the "commit-diff" logic that compares against
its parent(s).
|
|
Split it into the "one commit" vs "two trees" case, since we'll
want to use the "one commit" case for other things too.
