A recently added "--color-moved" feature of "diff" fell into
infinite loop when ignoring whitespace changes, which has been
fixed.
* sb/diff-color-move:
diff: fix infinite loop with --color-moved --ignore-space-change
The --color-moved code uses next_byte() to advance through
the blob contents. When the user has asked to ignore
whitespace changes, we try to collapse any whitespace change
down to a single space.
However, we enter the conditional block whenever we see the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE_CHANGE flag, even if the next byte isn't
whitespace.
This means that the combination of "--color-moved and
--ignore-space-change" was completely broken. Worse, because
we return from next_byte() without having advanced our
pointer, the function makes no forward progress in the
buffer and loops infinitely.
Fix this by entering the conditional only when we actually
see whitespace. We can apply this also to the
IGNORE_WHITESPACE change. That code path isn't buggy
(because it falls through to returning the next
non-whitespace byte), but it makes the logic more clear if
we only bother to look at whitespace flags after seeing that
the next byte is whitespace.

The existing behavior of diff --color-moved=zebra does not define the
minimum size of a block at all, instead relying on a heuristic applied
later to filter out sets of adjacent moved lines that are shorter than 3
lines long. This can be confusing, because a block could thus be colored
as moved at the source but not at the destination (or vice versa),
depending on its neighbors.
Instead, teach diff that the minimum size of a block is 20 alphanumeric
characters, the same heuristic used by "git blame". This allows diff to
still exclude uninteresting lines appearing on their own (such as those
solely consisting of one or a few closing braces), as was the intention
of the adjacent-moved-line heuristic.
This requires a change in some tests in that some of their lines are no
longer considered to be part of a block, because they are too short.

Add the 'plain' mode for move detection of code. This omits the checking
for adjacent blocks, so it is not as useful. If you have a lot of the
same blocks moved in the same patch, the 'Zebra' would end up slow as it
is O(n^2) (n is number of same blocks). So this may be useful there and
is generally easy to add. Instead be very literal at the move detection,
do not skip over short blocks here.

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.

Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced
in new lines. Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old

old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they
were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now."

The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".
When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.
There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):
$ seq 5 >file1
$ cat <<EOF >file2
change
1
2
3
4
5
change
EOF
$ diff -u -B file1 file2
--- file1 2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.
The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single
pass.

2. Move large diff fragments into their own supplemental
