diffcore: add a pickaxe option to find a specific blob Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs, but what are these? or [1]) One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs, such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as '<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right. The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches. Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting the information to what is shown. For example: $ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now 47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:" we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

/**
* The diff API is for programs that compare two sets of files (e.g. two trees,
* one tree and the index) and present the found difference in various ways.
* The calling program is responsible for feeding the API pairs of files, one
* from the "old" set and the corresponding one from "new" set, that are
* different.
* The library called through this API is called diffcore, and is responsible
* for two things.
*
* - finding total rewrites (`-B`), renames (`-M`) and copies (`-C`), and
* changes that touch a string (`-S`), as specified by the caller.
*
* - outputting the differences in various formats, as specified by the caller.
*
* Calling sequence
* ----------------
*
* - Prepare `struct diff_options` to record the set of diff options, and then
* call `repo_diff_setup()` to initialize this structure. This sets up the
* vanilla default.
*
* - Fill in the options structure to specify desired output format, rename
* detection, etc. `diff_opt_parse()` can be used to parse options given
* from the command line in a way consistent with existing git-diff family
* of programs.
*
* - Call `diff_setup_done()`; this inspects the options set up so far for
* internal consistency and make necessary tweaking to it (e.g. if textual
* patch output was asked, recursive behaviour is turned on); the callback
* set_default in diff_options can be used to tweak this more.
*
* - As you find different pairs of files, call `diff_change()` to feed
* modified files, `diff_addremove()` to feed created or deleted files, or
* `diff_unmerge()` to feed a file whose state is 'unmerged' to the API.
* These are thin wrappers to a lower-level `diff_queue()` function that is
* flexible enough to record any of these kinds of changes.
*
* - Once you finish feeding the pairs of files, call `diffcore_std()`.
* This will tell the diffcore library to go ahead and do its work.
*
* - Calling `diff_flush()` will produce the output.

tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes a commit introduces. In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge, but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once. For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent. The code lives in combine-diff.c . There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g. revision-walker . That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several dozens of plain commits. That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2) just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files from diff(commit,commit^1). That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff property/definition: D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn) (w.r.t. paths) where D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi and D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n 1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow. And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem. The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip* *recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant amount of needless work. Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the logic is a bit more complex: D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme ------------------------------- D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn) (regarding resulting paths set) D(T,Pj) - diff between T..Pj D(T,P1...Pn) - combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in lock-step: T P1 Pn - - - |t| |p1| |pn| |-| |--| ... |--| imin = argmin(p1...pn) | | | | | | |-| |--| |--| |.| |. | |. | . . . . . . at any time there could be 3 cases: 1) t < p[imin]; 2) t > p[imin]; 3) t = p[imin]. Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows: 1) t < p[imin] -> ∀j t ∉ Pj -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> D += "+t"; t↓ 2) t > p[imin] 2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj) -> D += ø; ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ 2.2) ∀i pi = p[imin] -> pi ∉ T -> "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi) -> D += "-p[imin]"; ∀i pi↓ 3) t = p[imin] 3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate 3.2) pi = p[imin] -> investigate δ(t,pi) | | v 3.1+3.2) looking at δ(t,pi) ∀i: pi=p[imin] - if all != ø -> ⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin] -> D += ⎨ ⎩"+t" - if pi>p[imin] in any case t↓ ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ ~ For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works: D(A,B) calculation scheme ------------------------- A B - - |a| |b| a < b -> a ∉ B -> D(A,B) += +a a↓ |-| |-| a > b -> b ∉ A -> D(A,B) += -b b↓ | | | | a = b -> investigate δ(a,b) a↓ b↓ |-| |-| |.| |.| . . . . ~~~~~~~~ This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on the fact that usual diff D(A,B) is by definition the same as combined diff D(A,[B]), so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating combine-diff. What we do is as follows: 1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for every parent which sha1,mode it was in it. 2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case. (see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only()) 3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES)) to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but incrementally, one diff path at a time. For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options introduced: ->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *) which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path. (see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths generator for setup) 4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation scheme" provided above: On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was earlier just for one parent tree. then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the algorithm. Some notes(*): 1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free() the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a portability problem. 2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ. Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts performance. 3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5% of potential additional slowdown. 4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit faster with lowered register pressure. Also - we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case, when a path was removed from some of all parents having it. The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see "a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed for being copies sources. The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as removal. ~~~~~~~~ Timings for # without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` before and after the patch are as follows: navy.git linux.git v3.10..v3.11 before 0.611s 1.889s after 0.619s 1.907s slowdown 1.3% 0.9% This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation. From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case, net timings stays approximately the same. The output also stayed the same. (*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case, we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as "do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule. For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff generation there. P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly filesystem, there is initial scan with `git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c` to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a map {} sha1 -> in which commit (and date) a content was added that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full, i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it. That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup. Signed-off-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@mns.spb.ru> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Add "--dirstat" for some directory statistics This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated directory structure with semantic meaning. What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves. What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_ subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in themselves. So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should show up as under the more generic top-level directory. This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either something simple like commit 81772fe...

I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own. So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se, because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs, 7.6% of fuse etc. If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory. That cumulative output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to the root. For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes commit e231c2e...

The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be at 5% instead) NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed, not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count, but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories). Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me, but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc. But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out git log --dirstat and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/, gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4 which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general, the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and doing a git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1 on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start from a subdirectory: $ git diff --relative shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory, and without $prefix part. People who usually live in subdirectories may like it. There are a few things I should also mention about the change: - This works not just with diff but also works with the log family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected. In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say: $ git log --relative -p but it will show the log message even for commits that do not touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving pathspec yourself: $ git log --relative -p . This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory but show the changes with full context. I think it makes more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current subdirectory, which would break the symmetry. - Because this works also with the log family, you could format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your subdirectory, like so: $ cd gitk-git $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will never become the default, with or without repository or user preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did so. - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the combined use of the options, but probably I should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

diffcore: add a pickaxe option to find a specific blob Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs, but what are these? or [1]) One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs, such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as '<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right. The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches. Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting the information to what is shown. For example: $ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now 47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:" we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes a commit introduces. In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge, but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once. For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent. The code lives in combine-diff.c . There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g. revision-walker . That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several dozens of plain commits. That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2) just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files from diff(commit,commit^1). That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff property/definition: D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn) (w.r.t. paths) where D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi and D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n 1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow. And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem. The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip* *recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant amount of needless work. Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the logic is a bit more complex: D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme ------------------------------- D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn) (regarding resulting paths set) D(T,Pj) - diff between T..Pj D(T,P1...Pn) - combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in lock-step: T P1 Pn - - - |t| |p1| |pn| |-| |--| ... |--| imin = argmin(p1...pn) | | | | | | |-| |--| |--| |.| |. | |. | . . . . . . at any time there could be 3 cases: 1) t < p[imin]; 2) t > p[imin]; 3) t = p[imin]. Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows: 1) t < p[imin] -> ∀j t ∉ Pj -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> D += "+t"; t↓ 2) t > p[imin] 2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj) -> D += ø; ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ 2.2) ∀i pi = p[imin] -> pi ∉ T -> "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi) -> D += "-p[imin]"; ∀i pi↓ 3) t = p[imin] 3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate 3.2) pi = p[imin] -> investigate δ(t,pi) | | v 3.1+3.2) looking at δ(t,pi) ∀i: pi=p[imin] - if all != ø -> ⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin] -> D += ⎨ ⎩"+t" - if pi>p[imin] in any case t↓ ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ ~ For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works: D(A,B) calculation scheme ------------------------- A B - - |a| |b| a < b -> a ∉ B -> D(A,B) += +a a↓ |-| |-| a > b -> b ∉ A -> D(A,B) += -b b↓ | | | | a = b -> investigate δ(a,b) a↓ b↓ |-| |-| |.| |.| . . . . ~~~~~~~~ This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on the fact that usual diff D(A,B) is by definition the same as combined diff D(A,[B]), so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating combine-diff. What we do is as follows: 1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for every parent which sha1,mode it was in it. 2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case. (see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only()) 3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES)) to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but incrementally, one diff path at a time. For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options introduced: ->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *) which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path. (see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths generator for setup) 4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation scheme" provided above: On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was earlier just for one parent tree. then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the algorithm. Some notes(*): 1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free() the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a portability problem. 2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ. Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts performance. 3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5% of potential additional slowdown. 4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit faster with lowered register pressure. Also - we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case, when a path was removed from some of all parents having it. The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see "a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed for being copies sources. The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as removal. ~~~~~~~~ Timings for # without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` before and after the patch are as follows: navy.git linux.git v3.10..v3.11 before 0.611s 1.889s after 0.619s 1.907s slowdown 1.3% 0.9% This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation. From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case, net timings stays approximately the same. The output also stayed the same. (*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case, we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as "do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule. For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff generation there. P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly filesystem, there is initial scan with `git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c` to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a map {} sha1 -> in which commit (and date) a content was added that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full, i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it. That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup. Signed-off-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@mns.spb.ru> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

revision: quit pruning diff more quickly when possible When the revision traversal machinery is given a pathspec, we must compute the parent-diff for each commit to determine which ones are TREESAME. We set the QUICK diff flag to avoid looking at more entries than we need; we really just care whether there are any changes at all. But there is one case where we want to know a bit more: if --remove-empty is set, we care about finding cases where the change consists only of added entries (in which case we may prune the parent in try_to_simplify_commit()). To cover that case, our file_add_remove() callback does not quit the diff upon seeing an added entry; it keeps looking for other types of entries. But this means when --remove-empty is not set (and it is not by default), we compute more of the diff than is necessary. You can see this in a pathological case where a commit adds a very large number of entries, and we limit based on a broad pathspec. E.g.: perl -e ' chomp(my $blob = `git hash-object -w --stdin </dev/null`); for my $a (1..1000) { for my $b (1..1000) { print "100644 $blob\t$a/$b\n"; } } ' | git update-index --index-info git commit -qm add git rev-list HEAD -- . This case takes about 100ms now, but after this patch only needs 6ms. That's not a huge improvement, but it's easy to get and it protects us against even more pathological cases (e.g., going from 1 million to 10 million files would take ten times as long with the current code, but not increase at all after this patch). This is reported to minorly speed-up pathspec limiting in real world repositories (like the 100-million-file Windows repository), but probably won't make a noticeable difference outside of pathological setups. This patch actually covers the case without --remove-empty, and the case where we see only deletions. See the in-code comment for details. Note that we have to add a new member to the diff_options struct so that our callback can see the value of revs->remove_empty_trees. This callback parameter could be passed to the "add_remove" and "change" callbacks, but there's not much point. They already receive the diff_options struct, and doing it this way avoids having to update the function signature of the other callbacks (arguably the format_callback and output_prefix functions could benefit from the same simplification).

diff.c: buffer all output if asked to Introduce a new option 'emitted_symbols' in the struct diff_options which controls whether all output is buffered up until all output is available. It is set internally in diff.c when necessary. We'll have a new struct 'emitted_string' in diff.c which will be used to buffer each line. The emitted_string will duplicate the memory of the line to buffer as that is easiest to reason about for now. In a future patch we may want to decrease the memory usage by not duplicating all output for buffering but rather we may want to store offsets into the file or in case of hunk descriptions such as the similarity score, we could just store the relevant number and reproduce the text later on. This approach was chosen as a first step because it is quite simple compared to the alternative with less memory footprint. emit_diff_symbol factors out the emission part and depending on the diff_options->emitted_symbols the emission will be performed directly when calling emit_diff_symbol or after the whole process is done, i.e. by buffering we have add the possibility for a second pass over the whole output before doing the actual output. In 6440d34 (2012-03-14, diff: tweak a _copy_ of diff_options with word-diff) we introduced a duplicate diff options struct for word emissions as we may have different regex settings in there. When buffering the output, we need to operate on just one buffer, so we have to copy back the emissions of the word buffer into the main buffer. Unconditionally enable output via buffer in this patch as it yields a great opportunity for testing, i.e. all the diff tests from the test suite pass without having reordering issues (i.e. only parts of the output got buffered, and we forgot to buffer other parts). The test suite passes, which gives confidence that we converted all functions to use emit_string for output.

diff.c: color moved lines differently When a patch consists mostly of moving blocks of code around, it can be quite tedious to ensure that the blocks are moved verbatim, and not undesirably modified in the move. To that end, color blocks that are moved within the same patch differently. For example (OM, del, add, and NM are different colors): [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OM] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OM] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OM] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NM] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NM] + multiple, [NM] + lines); [NM] +} However adjacent blocks may be problematic. For example, in this potentially malicious patch, the swapping of blocks can be spotted: [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OMA] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OMA] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OMA] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NMA] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NMA] + multiple, [NMA] + lines); [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NMA] +} If the moved code is larger, it is easier to hide some permutation in the code, which is why some alternative coloring is needed. This patch implements the first mode: * basic alternating 'Zebra' mode This conveys all information needed to the user. Defer customization to later patches. First I implemented an alternative design, which would try to fingerprint a line by its neighbors to detect if we are in a block or at the boundary. This idea iss error prone as it inspected each line and its neighboring lines to determine if the line was (a) moved and (b) if was deep inside a hunk by having matching neighboring lines. This is unreliable as the we can construct hunks which have equal neighbors that just exceed the number of lines inspected. (Think of 'AXYZBXYZCXYZD..' with each letter as a line, that is permutated to AXYZCXYZBXYZD..'). Instead this provides a dynamic programming greedy algorithm that finds the largest moved hunk and then has several modes on highlighting bounds. A note on the options '--submodule=diff' and '--color-words/--word-diff': In the conversion to use emit_line in the prior patches both submodules as well as word diff output carefully chose to call emit_line with sign=0. All output with sign=0 is ignored for move detection purposes in this patch, such that no weird looking output will be generated for these cases. This leads to another thought: We could pass on '--color-moved' to submodules such that they color up moved lines for themselves. If we'd do so only line moves within a repository boundary are marked up. It is useful to have moved lines colored, but there are annoying corner cases, such as a single line moved, that is very common. For example in a typical patch of C code, we have closing braces that end statement blocks or functions. While it is technically true that these lines are moved as they show up elsewhere, it is harmful for the review as the reviewers attention is drawn to such a minor side annoyance. For now let's have a simple solution of hardcoding the number of moved lines to be at least 3 before coloring them. Note, that the length is applied across all blocks to find the 'lonely' blocks that pollute new code, but do not interfere with a permutated block where each permutation has less lines than 3.

diff.c: add white space mode to move detection that allows indent changes The option of --color-moved has proven to be useful as observed on the mailing list. However when refactoring sometimes the indentation changes, for example when partitioning a functions into smaller helper functions the code usually mostly moved around except for a decrease in indentation. To just review the moved code ignoring the change in indentation, a mode to ignore spaces in the move detection as implemented in a previous patch would be enough. However the whole move coloring as motivated in commit 2e2d5ac (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30), brought up the notion of the reviewer being able to trust the move of a "block". As there are languages such as python, which depend on proper relative indentation for the control flow of the program, ignoring any white space change in a block would not uphold the promises of 2e2d5ac that allows reviewers to pay less attention to the inside of a block, as inside the reviewer wants to assume the same program flow. This new mode of white space ignorance will take this into account and will only allow the same white space changes per line in each block. This patch even allows only for the same change at the beginning of the lines. As this is a white space mode, it is made exclusive to other white space modes in the move detection. This patch brings some challenges, related to the detection of blocks. We need a wide net to catch the possible moved lines, but then need to narrow down to check if the blocks are still intact. Consider this example (ignoring block sizes): - A - B - C + A + B + C At the beginning of a block when checking if there is a counterpart for A, we have to ignore all space changes. However at the following lines we have to check if the indent change stayed the same. Checking if the indentation change did stay the same, is done by computing the indentation change by the difference in line length, and then assume the change is only in the beginning of the longer line, the common tail is the same. That is why the test contains lines like: - <TAB> A ... + A <TAB> ... As the first line starting a block is caught using a compare function that ignores white spaces unlike the rest of the block, where the white space delta is taken into account for the comparison, we also have to think about the following situation: - A - B - A - B + A + B + A + B When checking if the first A (both in the + and - lines) is a start of a block, we have to check all 'A' and record all the white space deltas such that we can find the example above to be just one block that is indented.

diff.c: color moved lines differently When a patch consists mostly of moving blocks of code around, it can be quite tedious to ensure that the blocks are moved verbatim, and not undesirably modified in the move. To that end, color blocks that are moved within the same patch differently. For example (OM, del, add, and NM are different colors): [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OM] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OM] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OM] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NM] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NM] + multiple, [NM] + lines); [NM] +} However adjacent blocks may be problematic. For example, in this potentially malicious patch, the swapping of blocks can be spotted: [OM] -void sensitive_stuff(void) [OM] -{ [OMA] - if (!is_authorized_user()) [OMA] - die("unauthorized"); [OM] - sensitive_stuff(spanning, [OM] - multiple, [OM] - lines); [OMA] -} void another_function() { [del] - printf("foo"); [add] + printf("bar"); } [NM] +void sensitive_stuff(void) [NM] +{ [NMA] + sensitive_stuff(spanning, [NMA] + multiple, [NMA] + lines); [NM] + if (!is_authorized_user()) [NM] + die("unauthorized"); [NMA] +} If the moved code is larger, it is easier to hide some permutation in the code, which is why some alternative coloring is needed. This patch implements the first mode: * basic alternating 'Zebra' mode This conveys all information needed to the user. Defer customization to later patches. First I implemented an alternative design, which would try to fingerprint a line by its neighbors to detect if we are in a block or at the boundary. This idea iss error prone as it inspected each line and its neighboring lines to determine if the line was (a) moved and (b) if was deep inside a hunk by having matching neighboring lines. This is unreliable as the we can construct hunks which have equal neighbors that just exceed the number of lines inspected. (Think of 'AXYZBXYZCXYZD..' with each letter as a line, that is permutated to AXYZCXYZBXYZD..'). Instead this provides a dynamic programming greedy algorithm that finds the largest moved hunk and then has several modes on highlighting bounds. A note on the options '--submodule=diff' and '--color-words/--word-diff': In the conversion to use emit_line in the prior patches both submodules as well as word diff output carefully chose to call emit_line with sign=0. All output with sign=0 is ignored for move detection purposes in this patch, such that no weird looking output will be generated for these cases. This leads to another thought: We could pass on '--color-moved' to submodules such that they color up moved lines for themselves. If we'd do so only line moves within a repository boundary are marked up. It is useful to have moved lines colored, but there are annoying corner cases, such as a single line moved, that is very common. For example in a typical patch of C code, we have closing braces that end statement blocks or functions. While it is technically true that these lines are moved as they show up elsewhere, it is harmful for the review as the reviewers attention is drawn to such a minor side annoyance. For now let's have a simple solution of hardcoding the number of moved lines to be at least 3 before coloring them. Note, that the length is applied across all blocks to find the 'lonely' blocks that pollute new code, but do not interfere with a permutated block where each permutation has less lines than 3.

range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color mode It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer" diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something different than the old diff. To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff, i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old" commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit). However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough, as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color). Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines that are only in the new commit. That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be bold. At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs that way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes a commit introduces. In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge, but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once. For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent. The code lives in combine-diff.c . There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g. revision-walker . That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several dozens of plain commits. That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2) just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files from diff(commit,commit^1). That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff property/definition: D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn) (w.r.t. paths) where D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi and D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n 1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow. And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem. The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip* *recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant amount of needless work. Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the logic is a bit more complex: D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme ------------------------------- D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn) (regarding resulting paths set) D(T,Pj) - diff between T..Pj D(T,P1...Pn) - combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in lock-step: T P1 Pn - - - |t| |p1| |pn| |-| |--| ... |--| imin = argmin(p1...pn) | | | | | | |-| |--| |--| |.| |. | |. | . . . . . . at any time there could be 3 cases: 1) t < p[imin]; 2) t > p[imin]; 3) t = p[imin]. Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows: 1) t < p[imin] -> ∀j t ∉ Pj -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> D += "+t"; t↓ 2) t > p[imin] 2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj) -> D += ø; ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ 2.2) ∀i pi = p[imin] -> pi ∉ T -> "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi) -> D += "-p[imin]"; ∀i pi↓ 3) t = p[imin] 3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate 3.2) pi = p[imin] -> investigate δ(t,pi) | | v 3.1+3.2) looking at δ(t,pi) ∀i: pi=p[imin] - if all != ø -> ⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin] -> D += ⎨ ⎩"+t" - if pi>p[imin] in any case t↓ ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ ~ For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works: D(A,B) calculation scheme ------------------------- A B - - |a| |b| a < b -> a ∉ B -> D(A,B) += +a a↓ |-| |-| a > b -> b ∉ A -> D(A,B) += -b b↓ | | | | a = b -> investigate δ(a,b) a↓ b↓ |-| |-| |.| |.| . . . . ~~~~~~~~ This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on the fact that usual diff D(A,B) is by definition the same as combined diff D(A,[B]), so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating combine-diff. What we do is as follows: 1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for every parent which sha1,mode it was in it. 2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case. (see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only()) 3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES)) to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but incrementally, one diff path at a time. For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options introduced: ->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *) which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path. (see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths generator for setup) 4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation scheme" provided above: On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was earlier just for one parent tree. then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the algorithm. Some notes(*): 1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free() the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a portability problem. 2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ. Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts performance. 3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5% of potential additional slowdown. 4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit faster with lowered register pressure. Also - we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case, when a path was removed from some of all parents having it. The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see "a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed for being copies sources. The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as removal. ~~~~~~~~ Timings for # without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` before and after the patch are as follows: navy.git linux.git v3.10..v3.11 before 0.611s 1.889s after 0.619s 1.907s slowdown 1.3% 0.9% This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation. From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case, net timings stays approximately the same. The output also stayed the same. (*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case, we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as "do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule. For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff generation there. P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly filesystem, there is initial scan with `git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c` to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a map {} sha1 -> in which commit (and date) a content was added that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full, i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it. That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup. Signed-off-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@mns.spb.ru> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if rename or copy detection is active. For example, with raw format one might see: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM desc.c desc.c desc.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.

diff-tree -c: show a merge commit a bit more sensibly. A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is displayed when generating a patch output. It shows a "combined diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this: $ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18 diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents) Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae... Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Date: Sun Jan 15 22:25:35 2006 -0800 Merge fixes up to GIT 1.1.3 diff --combined describe.c @@@ +98,7 @@@ return (a_date > b_date) ? -1 : (a_date == b_date) ? 0 : 1; } - static void describe(char *arg) - static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one) ++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one) { + unsigned char sha1[20]; + struct commit *cmit; There are a few things to note about this feature: - The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all merges. - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things"). - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no combined diff output. - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome. A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed from that parent's version). A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line (i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another parent). The above example output shows that the function signature was changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++" line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was inherited from the first parent. The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases, which I have fixed since then. It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers from parent commits, which it probably should.

For example: $ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now 47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:" we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contents Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
