Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used
in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the
same file is in two places (--stat and --summary).
On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of
display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of
files.
--compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the
little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with
commit 0433d533f1:
Documentation/merge-config.txt | 4 +
builtin/merge.c | 2 +
...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++
t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 ++++++++
4 files changed, 132 insertions(+)
It helps both condensing information and saving some text
space. What's new in diffstat is:
- A new 0644 file is shown as (new)
- A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x)
- A new symlink is shown as (new +l)
- A deleted file is shown as (gone)
- A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x)
- A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x)
Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information
--summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be
added later, like R50% or C20%.

When calling convert_to_git(), the checksafe parameter defined what
should happen if the EOL conversion (CRLF --> LF --> CRLF) does not
roundtrip cleanly. In addition, it also defined if line endings should
be renormalized (CRLF --> LF) or kept as they are.
checksafe was an safe_crlf enum with these values:
SAFE_CRLF_FALSE: do nothing in case of EOL roundtrip errors
SAFE_CRLF_FAIL: die in case of EOL roundtrip errors
SAFE_CRLF_WARN: print a warning in case of EOL roundtrip errors
SAFE_CRLF_RENORMALIZE: change CRLF to LF
SAFE_CRLF_KEEP_CRLF: keep all line endings as they are
In some cases the integer value 0 was passed as checksafe parameter
instead of the correct enum value SAFE_CRLF_FALSE. That was no problem
because SAFE_CRLF_FALSE is defined as 0.
FALSE/FAIL/WARN are different from RENORMALIZE and KEEP_CRLF. Therefore,
an enum is not ideal. Let's use a integer bit pattern instead and rename
the parameter to conv_flags to make it more generically usable. This
allows us to extend the bit pattern in a subsequent commit.

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.

Currently the check whether to perform pickaxing is done via checking
`diffopt->pickaxe`, which contains the command line argument that we
want to pickaxe for. Soon we'll introduce a new type of pickaxing, that
will not store anything in the `.pickaxe` field, so let's migrate the
check to be dependent on pickaxe_opts.
It is not enough to just replace the check for pickaxe by pickaxe_opts,
because flags might be set, but pickaxing was not requested ('-i').
To cope with that, introduce a mask to check only for the bits indicating
the modes of operation.

git-show is unique in that it wants to use textconv by default except
for when it is showing blobs. When asked to show a blob, show doesn't
want to use textconv unless the user explicitly requested that it be
used by providing the command line flag '--textconv'.
Currently this is done by using a parallel set of 'touched' flags which
get set every time a particular flag is set or cleared. In a future
patch we want to eliminate this parallel set of flags so instead of
relying on if the textconv flag has been touched, add a new flag

The implementations in diff.c to detect moved lines needs to compare
strings and hash strings, which is implemented in that file, as well
as in the xdiff library.

exercised code in the xdiff lib.
With this change the hash used for bucketing the strings for the moved
line detection changes from FNV32 (that is provided via the hashmaps
memhash) to DJB2 (which is used internally in xdiff). Benchmarks found
on the web[1] do not indicate that these hashes are different in
performance for readable strings.

For computing moved lines, we feed the characters of each
line into a hash. When we've been asked to ignore
whitespace, then we pick each character using next_byte(),
which returns -1 on end-of-string, which it determines using
the start/end pointers we feed it.
However our check of its return value treats "0" the same as
"-1", meaning we'd quit if the string has an embedded NUL.
This is unlikely to ever come up in practice since our line
boundaries generally come from calling strlen() in the first
place.
But it was a bit surprising to me as a reader of the
next_byte() code. And it's possible that we may one day feed
this function with more exotic input, which otherwise works
with arbitrary ptr/len pairs.

The code for handling whitespace with --color-moved
represents partial strings as a pair of pointers. There are
two possible conventions for the end pointer:
1. It points to the byte right after the end of the
string.
2. It points to the final byte of the string.
But we seem to use both conventions in the code:
a. we assign the initial pointers from the NUL-terminated
string using (1)
b. we eat trailing whitespace by checking the second
pointer for isspace(), which needs (2)
c. the next_byte() function checks for end-of-string with
"if (cp > endp)", which is (2)
d. in next_byte() we skip past internal whitespace with
"while (cp < end)", which is (1)
This creates fewer bugs than you might think, because there
are some subtle interactions. Because of (a) and (c), we
always return the NUL-terminator from next_byte(). But all
of the callers of next_byte() happen to handle that
gracefully.
Because of the mismatch between (d) and (c), next_byte()
could accidentally return a whitespace character right at
endp. But because of the interaction of (a) and (b), we fail
to actually chomp trailing whitespace, meaning our endp
_always_ points to a NUL, canceling out the problem.
But that does leave (b) as a real bug: when ignoring
whitespace only at the end-of-line, we don't correctly trim
it, and fail to match up lines.
We can fix the whole thing by moving consistently to one
convention. Since convention (1) is idiomatic in our code
base, we'll pick that one.
The existing "-w" and "-b" tests continue to pass, and a new
"--ignore-space-at-eol" shows off the breakage we're fixing.

This is the "theoretically more correct" approach of simply
stepping back to the state before plumbing commands started paying
attention to "color.ui" configuration variable.
Let's run with this one.
* jk/ref-filter-colors-fix:
tag: respect color.ui config
Revert "color: check color.ui in git_default_config()"
Revert "t6006: drop "always" color config tests"
Revert "color: make "always" the same as "auto" in config"
This reverts commit 136c8c8b8f.
That commit was trying to address a bug caused by 4c7f1819b3
(make color.ui default to 'auto', 2013-06-10), in which
plumbing like diff-tree defaulted to "auto" color, but did
not respect a "color.ui" directive to disable it.
But it also meant that we started respecting "color.ui" set
to "always". This was a known problem, but 4c7f1819b3 argued
that nobody ought to be doing that. However, that turned out
to be wrong, and we got a number of bug reports related to
"add -p" regressing in v2.14.2.
Let's revert 136c8c8b8, fixing the regression to "add -p".
This leaves the problem from 4c7f1819b3 unfixed, but:
1. It's a pretty obscure problem in the first place. I
only noticed it while working on the color code, and we
haven't got a single bug report or complaint about it.
2. We can make a more moderate fix on top by respecting
"never" but not "always" for plumbing commands. This
is just the minimal fix to go back to the working state
we had before v2.14.2.
Note that this isn't a pure revert. We now have a test in
t3701 which shows off the "add -p" regression. This can be
flipped to success.

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 return value of write_in_full() is either "-1", or the
requested number of bytes[1]. If we make a partial write
before seeing an error, we still return -1, not a partial
value. This goes back to f6aa66cb95 (write_in_full: really
write in full or return error on disk full., 2007-01-11).
So checking anything except "was the return value negative"
is pointless. And there are a couple of reasons not to do
so:
1. It can do a funny signed/unsigned comparison. If your
"len" is signed (e.g., a size_t) then the compiler will
promote the "-1" to its unsigned variant.
This works out for "!= len" (unless you really were
trying to write the maximum size_t bytes), but is a
bug if you check "< len" (an example of which was fixed
recently in config.c).
We should avoid promoting the mental model that you
need to check the length at all, so that new sites are
not tempted to copy us.
2. Checking for a negative value is shorter to type,
especially when the length is an expression.
3. Linus says so. In d34cf19b89 (Clean up write_in_full()
users, 2007-01-11), right after the write_in_full()
semantics were changed, he wrote:
I really wish every "write_in_full()" user would just
check against "<0" now, but this fixes the nasty and
stupid ones.
Appeals to authority aside, this makes it clear that
writing it this way does not have an intentional
benefit. It's a historical curiosity that we never
bothered to clean up (and which was undoubtedly
cargo-culted into new sites).
So let's convert these obviously-correct cases (this
includes write_str_in_full(), which is just a wrapper for
write_in_full()).
[1] A careful reader may notice there is one way that
write_in_full() can return a different value. If we ask
write() to write N bytes and get a return value that is
_larger_ than N, we could return a larger total. But
besides the fact that this would imply a totally broken
version of write(), it would already invoke undefined
behavior. Our internal remaining counter is an unsigned
size_t, which means that subtracting too many byte will
wrap it around to a very large number. So we'll instantly
begin reading off the end of the buffer, trying to write
gigabytes (or petabytes) of data.

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

When close_tempfile() fails, we delete the tempfile and
reset the fields of the tempfile struct. This makes it
easier for callers to return without cleaning up, but it
also makes this common pattern:
if (close_tempfile(tempfile))
return error_errno("error closing %s", tempfile->filename.buf);
wrong, because the "filename" field has been reset after the
failed close. And it's not easy to fix, as in many cases we
don't have another copy of the filename (e.g., if it was
created via one of the mks_tempfile functions, and we just
have the original template string).
Let's drop the feature that a failed close automatically
deletes the file. This puts the burden on the caller to do
the deletion themselves, but this isn't that big a deal.
Callers which do:
if (write(...) || close_tempfile(...)) {
delete_tempfile(...);
return -1;
}
already had to call delete when the write() failed, and so
aren't affected. Likewise, any caller which just calls die()
in the error path is OK; we'll delete the tempfile during
the atexit handler.
Because this patch changes the semantics of close_tempfile()
without changing its signature, all callers need to be
manually checked and converted to the new scheme. This patch
covers all in-tree callers, but there may be others for
not-yet-merged topics. To catch these, we rename the
function to close_tempfile_gently(), which will attract
compile-time attention to new callers. (Technically the
original could be considered "gentle" already in that it
didn't die() on errors, but this one is even more so).

If close_tempfile() encounters an error, then it deletes the
tempfile and resets the "struct tempfile". But many code
paths ignore the return value and continue to use the
tempfile. Instead, we should generally treat this the same
as a write() error.
Note that in the postimage of some of these cases our error
message will be bogus after a failed close because we look
at tempfile->filename (either directly or via get_tempfile_path).
But after the failed close resets the tempfile object, this
is guaranteed to be the empty string. That will be addressed
in a future patch (because there are many more cases of the
same problem than just these instances).
Note also in the hunk in gpg-interface.c that it's fine to
call delete_tempfile() in the error path, even if
close_tempfile() failed and already deleted the file. The
tempfile code is smart enough to know the second deletion is
a noop.

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.

Back in prehistoric times, our decision on whether or not to
show color by default relied on using a config callback that
either did or didn't load color config like color.diff.
When we introduced color.ui, we put it in the same boat:
commands had to manually respect it by using git_color_config()
or its git_color_default_config() convenience wrapper.
But in 4c7f1819b (make color.ui default to 'auto',
2013-06-10), that changed. Since then, we default color.ui
to auto in all programs, meaning that even plumbing commands
like "git diff-tree --pretty" might colorize the output.
Nobody seems to have complained in the intervening years,
presumably because the "is stdout a tty" check does a good
job of catching the right cases.
But that leaves an interesting curiosity: color.ui defaults
to auto even in plumbing, but you can't actually _disable_
the color via config. So if you really hate color and set
"color.ui" to false, diff-tree will still show color (but
porcelain like git-diff won't). Nobody noticed that either,
probably because very few people disable color.
One could argue that the plumbing should _always_ disable
color unless an explicit --color option is given on the
command line. But in practice, this creates a lot of
complications for scripts which do want plumbing to show
user-visible output. They can't just pass "--color" blindly;
they need to check the user's config and decide what to
send.
Given that nobody has complained about the current behavior,
let's assume it's a good path, and follow it to its
conclusion: supporting color.ui everywhere.
Note that you can create havoc by setting color.ui=always in
your config, but that's more or less already the case. We
could disallow it entirely, but it is handy for one-offs
like:
git -c color.ui=always foo >not-a-tty
when "foo" does not take a --color option itself.

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.

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.

In a later patch we want to buffer all output before emitting it as a
new feature ("markup moved lines") conceptually cannot be implemented
in a single pass over the output.
There are different approaches to buffer all output such as:
* Buffering on the char level, i.e. we'd have a char[] which would
grow at approximately 80 characters a line. This would keep the
output completely unstructured, but might be very easy to implement,
such as redirecting all output to a temporary file and working off
that. The later passes over the buffer are quite complicated though,
because we have to parse back any output and then decide if it should
be modified.
* Buffer on a line level. As the output is mostly line oriented already,
this would make sense, but it still is a bit awkward as we'd have to
make sense of it again by looking at the first characters of a line
to decide what part of a diff a line is.
* Buffer semantically. Imagine there is a formal grammar for the diff
output and we'd keep the symbols of this grammar around. This keeps
the highest level of structure in the buffered data, such that the
actual memory requirements are less than say the first option. Instead
of buffering the characters of the line, we'll buffer what we intend
to do plus additional information for the specifics. An output of
diff --git a/new.txt b/new.txt
index fa69b07..412428c 100644
Binary files a/new.txt and b/new.txt differ
could be buffered as
DIFF_SYMBOL_DIFF_START + new.txt
DIFF_SYMBOL_INDEX_MODE + fa69b07 412428c "non-executable" flag
DIFF_SYMBOL_BINARY_FILES + new.txt

by first moving any output to emit_diff_symbol, and then introducing the

The feature was included in v2.11 (released 2016-11-29) and we got no
negative feedback. Quite the opposite, all feedback we got was positive.
Turn it on by default. Users who dislike the feature can turn it off
by setting diff.indentHeuristic (which also configures plumbing commands,
see prior patches).
The change to t/t4051-diff-function-context.sh is needed because the
heuristic shifts the changed hunk in the patch. To get the same result
regardless of the heuristic configuration, we modify the test file
differently: We insert a completely new line after line 2, instead of

But the user often sees diffs generated by plumbing commands like
diff-tree. Moving the indent heuristic into diff's basic configuration
prepares the way for diff plumbing commands to respect the setting.
The heuristic itself merely makes the diffs more aesthetically

Define new hash-size constants for allocating memory
To generate a patch id, we format the diff header into a
fixed-size buffer, and then feed the result to our sha1
computation. The fixed buffer has size '4*PATH_MAX + 20',
which in theory accommodates the four filenames plus some
extra data. Except:
1. The filenames may not be constrained to PATH_MAX. The
static value may not be a real limit on the current
filesystem. Moreover, we may compute patch-ids for
names stored only in git, without touching the current
filesystem at all.
2. The 20 bytes is not nearly enough to cover the
extra content we put in the buffer.
As a result, the data we feed to the sha1 computation may be
truncated, and it's possible that a commit with a very long
filename could erroneously collide in the patch-id space
with another commit. For instance, if one commit modified
"really-long-filename/foo" and another modified "bar" in the
same directory.
In practice this is unlikely. Because the filenames are
repeated, and because there's a single cutoff at the end of
the buffer, the offending filename would have to be on the
order of four times larger than PATH_MAX.
We could fix this by moving to a strbuf. However, we can
observe that the purpose of formatting this in the first
place is to feed it to git_SHA1_Update(). So instead, let's
just feed each part of the formatted string directly. This
actually ends up more readable, and we can even factor out
some duplicated bits from the various conditional branches.
Technically this may change the output of patch-id for very
long filenames, but it's not worth making an exception for
this in the --stable output. It was a bug, and one that only
affected an unlikely set of paths. And anyway, the exact
value would have varied from platform to platform depending
on the value of PATH_MAX, so there is no "stable" value.

and that hash function might be longer than 40 hex characters, use the
constant GIT_MAX_HEXSZ, which is designed to be suitable for
allocations, instead of GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ. This will ease the transition
down the line by distinguishing between places where we need to allocate
memory suitable for the largest hash from those where we need to handle
the current hash.

The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).
Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).
The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.
I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).
In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

"git diff --quiet" relies on the size field in diff_filespec to be
correctly populated, but diff_populate_filespec() helper function
made an incorrect short-cut when asked only to populate the size
field for paths that need to go through convert_to_git() (e.g. CRLF
conversion).
* jc/diff-populate-filespec-size-only-fix:
diff: do not short-cut CHECK_SIZE_ONLY check in diff_populate_filespec()
Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.
However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.
As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

"git log --graph" did not work well with "--name-only", even though
other forms of "diff" output were handled correctly.
* jk/log-graph-name-only:
diff: print line prefix for --name-only output
If you run "git log --graph --name-only", the pathnames are
not indented to go along with their matching commits (unlike
all of the other diff formats). We need to output the line
prefix for each item before writing it.
The tests cover both --name-status and --name-only. The
former actually gets this right already, because it builds
on the --raw format functions. It's only --name-only which
uses its own code (and this fix mirrors the code in
diff_flush_raw()).
Note that the tests don't follow our usual style of setting
up the "expect" output inside the test block. This matches
the surrounding style, but more importantly it is easier to
read: we don't have to worry about embedded single-quotes,
and the leading indentation is more obvious.

"git diff" and its family had two experimental heuristics to shift

* jc/retire-compaction-heuristics:
diff: retire "compaction" heuristics
When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.
We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.
Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.
setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)
Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.
The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

When generating diffs outside a repository (e.g., with "diff
--no-index"), we may write abbreviated sha1s as part of
"--raw" output or the "index" lines of "--patch" output.
Since we have no object database, we never find any
collisions, and these sha1s get whatever static abbreviation
length is configured (typically 7).
However, we do blindly look in ".git/objects" to see if any
objects exist, even though we know we are not in a
repository. This is usually harmless because such a
directory is unlikely to exist, but could be wrong in rare
circumstances.
Let's instead notice when we are not in a repository and
behave as if the object database is empty (i.e., just use
the default abbrev length). It would perhaps make sense to
be conservative and show full sha1s in that case, but
showing the default abbreviation is what we've always done
(and is certainly less ugly).
Note that this does mean that:
cd /not/a/repo
GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/some/real/objdir git diff --no-index ...
used to look for collisions in /some/real/objdir but now
does not. This could be considered either a bugfix (we do
not look at objects if we have no repository) or a
regression, but it seems unlikely that anybody would care
much either way.

Rename the function to parse_ws_error_highlight_opt(), because it is
meant to parse a command line option, and then refactor the meat of
the function into a helper function that reports the parsed result
which is typically a small unsigned int (these are OR'ed bitmask
after all), or a negative offset that indicates where in the input
string a parse error happened.

The code that sets custom abbreviation length, in response to
command line argument, often does something like this:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--abbrev=", &arg))
abbrev = atoi(arg);
else if (!strcmp("--abbrev", &arg))
abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
/* make the value sane */
if (abbrev < 0 || 40 < abbrev)
abbrev = ... some sane value ...
However, it is pointless to sanity-check and tweak the value
obtained from DEFAULT_ABBREV. We are going to allow it to be
initially set to -1 to signal that the default abbreviation length
must be auto sized upon the first request to abbreviate, based on
the number of objects in the repository, and when that happens,
rejecting or tweaking a negative value to a "saner" one will
negatively interfere with the auto sizing. The codepaths for
git rev-parse --short <object>
git diff --raw --abbrev
do exactly that; allow them to pass possibly negative abbrevs
intact, that will come from DEFAULT_ABBREV in the future.

This function is used to add "..." to displayed object names in
"diff --raw --abbrev[=<n>]" output. It bases its behaviour on an
untold assumption that the abbreviation length requested by the
caller is "reasonble", i.e. most of the objects will abbreviate
within the requested length and the resulting length would never
exceed it by more than a few hexdigits (otherwise the resulting
columns would not align). Explain that in a comment.

The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.
We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).
Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3). By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down,

This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders"
using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the
indentation of nearby lines into account.
The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down
in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be
aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case
Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one
add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often
yields ugly diffs.
Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to
position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when
that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it
can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2)
always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be
better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as
the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs.
This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking
optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe
that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two
splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first
added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line
and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the
positioning that creates the least bad splits.
Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby
blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it
prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that
are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation.
In more detail:
1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting
position in a `struct split_measurement`:
* the number of blank lines above the proposed split
* whether the line directly after the split is blank
* the number of blank lines following that line
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split
* the indentation of the line directly below the split
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line
2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of
empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct
split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at
that position.
3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the
slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position
that has the best `split_score`.
I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus
of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various
programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and
determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I
used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to
about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights
against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter
space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values.
Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The
results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`:

In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated
sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*. The columns are
* "repository" - the name of the repository used. I used the diffs
between successive non-merge commits on the HEAD branch of the
corresponding repository.
* "count" - the number of sliders that were human-rated. I chose most,
but not all, sliders to rate from those among which the various
algorithms gave different answers.
* "Git 2.9.0" - the default algorithm used by `git diff` in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic`
in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction-fixed" - the heuristic used by `git diff
--compaction-heuristic` after the fixes from earlier in this patch
series. Note that the results are not dramatically different than
those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as
often as the default `git diff`.
* "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first
set of weighting factors, determined as described above.
* "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final
set of weighting factors, determined as described below.
* `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine
the first set of weighting factors.
The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as
on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the
heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of
optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting
set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the
weights included in this patch.
The final result gives consistently and significantly better results
across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff
--compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the
former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction
of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted
code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.)
The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along
with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project
[1].
This patch adds a new command-line option `--indent-heuristic`, and a
new configuration setting `diff.indentHeuristic`, that activate this
heuristic. This interface is only meant for testing purposes, and should
be finalized before including this change in any release.

Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware
displayable output) such that "--line-prefix=<string>" will print the
additional line-prefix on every line of output.
To make this work, we have to fix a few bugs in the graph API that force
graph_show_commit_msg to be used only when you have a valid graph.
Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work
even when no graph is enabled.
This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.
This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which
displays the submodule diff as the actual diff between the pre and post
commit in the submodule project.

is honored correctly.

"diff/log --stat" has a logic that determines the display columns
available for the diffstat part of the output and apportions it for
pathnames and diffstat graph automatically.
5e71a84a (Add output_prefix_length to diff_options, 2012-04-16)
added the output_prefix_length field to diff_options structure to
allow this logic to subtract the display columns used for the
history graph part from the total "terminal width"; this matters
when the "git log --graph -p" option is in use.
The field must be set to the number of display columns needed to
show the output from the output_prefix() callback, which is error
prone. As there is only one user of the field, and the user has the
actual value of the prefix string, let's get rid of the field and
have the user count the display width itself.

When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated
upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these

lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be
compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths.

There is an optimization used in "git diff $treeA $treeB" to borrow
an already checked-out copy in the working tree when it is known to
be the same as the blob being compared, expecting that open/mmap of
such a file is faster than reading it from the object store, which
involves inflating and applying delta. This however kicked in even
when the checked-out copy needs to go through the convert-to-git
conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.

conversion (including the clean filter), which defeats the whole
point of the optimization. The optimization has been disabled when
the conversion is necessary.

diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversion

When accessing a blob for a diff, we may try to reuse file
contents in the working tree, under the theory that it is
faster to mmap those file contents than it would be to
extract the content from the object database.
When we have to filter those contents, though, that
assumption does not hold. Even for our internal conversions
like CRLF, we have to allocate and fill a new buffer anyway.
But much worse, for external clean filters we have to exec
an arbitrary script, and we have no idea how expensive it
may be to run.
So let's skip this optimization when conversion into git's
"clean" form is required. This applies whenever the
"want_file" flag is false. When it's true, the caller
actually wants the smudged worktree contents, which the
reused file by definition already has (in fact, this is a
key optimization going the other direction, since reusing
the worktree file there lets us skip smudge filters).

"git diff --output=<file> --color=auto" used to show the ANSI color
sequence in the resulting file when the standard output is connected
to a terminal, because --color=auto check always checks the standard
output, not the actual file that receives the output.
We could correct this by using freopen(3) to redirect the standard
output to the specified file, which is in like with how format-patch
used to match the world order, but following the same reasoning as
the earlier "format-patch: explicitly switch off color when writing
to files", let's be more strict by bypassing the "auto" check when
the --output=<file> option is in use.
Strictly speaking, this is a backwards-incompatible change, but
it is highly unlikely that any user would want to see ANSI color
sequences in a file.
The reason this was not caught earlier is most likely that either
--output=<file> is not used, or only when stdout is redirected
anyway.
Users can still give --color=always if they want a colored diff in
the resulting file.

* jk/diff-compact-heuristic:
diff: undocument the compaction heuristic knobs for experimentation
xdiff: implement empty line chunk heuristic
xdiff: add recs_match helper function
In order to produce the smallest possible diff and combine several diff
hunks together, we implement a heuristic from GNU Diff which moves diff
hunks forward as far as possible when we find common context above and
below a diff hunk. This sometimes produces less readable diffs when
writing C, Shell, or other programming languages, ie:
...
/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
+/*
...
instead of the more readable equivalent of
...
+/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
/*
...
Implement the following heuristic to (optionally) produce the desired
output.
If there are diff chunks which can be shifted around, shift each hunk
such that the last common empty line is below the chunk with the rest
of the context above.
This heuristic appears to resolve the above example and several other
common issues without producing significantly weird results. However, as
with any heuristic it is not really known whether this will always be
more optimal. Thus, it can be disabled via diff.compactionHeuristic.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later. This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).
In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper). But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.
Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.
We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).
There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

that the die() message could be something like:
$ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'
These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:
$ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'
$ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'
This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:

("var") and an offset ("ofs"). It checked "var+ofs" against
each color slot, but reported errors using the whole "var".
However, since 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration,
2009-12-12), it returns -1 rather than printing its own
error, and therefore only cares about var+ofs. We can drop
the ofs parameter and teach its sole caller to derive the
pointer itself.

Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a

N+1 trees in parallel. These set of paths can then be turned into
N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename
detections and such. And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual
2-way diff-tree, which is very nice.

Because of the way "--follow" is implemented, we must have
exactly one pathspec. "git log" enforces this restriction,
but other users of the revision traversal code do not. For
example, "git format-patch --follow" will segfault during
try_to_follow_renames, as we have no pathspecs at all.
We can push this check down into diff_setup_done, which is
probably a better place anyway. It is the diff code that
introduces this restriction, so other parts of the code
should not need to care themselves.

When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:
1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
about to exit. Nor do we need to clean up our
tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.
3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
does technically change our exit code, but the exit
code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
"completed successfully, but there were differences".
And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

As was recently shown in "combine-diff: optimize
combine_diff_path sets intersection", combine-diff runs very slowly. In
that commit we optimized paths sets intersection, but that accounted
only for ~ 25% of the slowness, and as my tracing showed, for linux.git
v3.10..v3.11, for merges 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).
In previous commit, we described the problem in more details, and
reworked the diff tree-walker to be general one - i.e. to work in
multiple parent case too. Now is the time to take advantage of it for
finding paths for combine diff.
The implementation is straightforward - if we know, we can get generated
diff paths directly, and at present that means no diff filtering or
rename/copy detection was requested(*), we can call multiparent tree-walker
directly and get ready paths.
(*) because e.g. at present, all diffcore transformations work on
diff_filepair queues, but in the future, that limitation can be
lifted, if filters would operate directly on combine_diff_paths.

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)

⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin]

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.

correct status value.
* nd/diff-quiet-stat-dirty:
diff: do not quit early on stat-dirty files
diff.c: move diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch core logic out for reuse later
When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.
Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.
This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().
This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

The line being changed is deep inside the function builtin_diff.
The variable name_b, which is used to evaluate the ternary expression
must evaluate to true at that position, hence the replacement with
just name_b.
The name_b variable only occurs a few times in that lengthy function:
As a parameter to the function itself:
static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a,
const char *name_b,
...
The next occurrences are at:
/* Never use a non-valid filename anywhere if at all possible */
name_a = DIFF_FILE_VALID(one) ? name_a : name_b;
name_b = DIFF_FILE_VALID(two) ? name_b : name_a;
a_one = quote_two(a_prefix, name_a + (*name_a == '/'));
b_two = quote_two(b_prefix, name_b + (*name_b == '/'));
In the last line of this block 'name_b' is dereferenced and compared
to '/'. This would crash if name_b was NULL. Hence in the following code
we can assume name_b being non-null.
The next occurrence is just as a function argument, which doesn't change
the memory, which name_b points to, so the assumption name_b being not
null still holds:
emit_rewrite_diff(name_a, name_b, one, two,
textconv_one, textconv_two, o);
The next occurrence would be the line of this patch. As name_b still must
be not null, we can remove the ternary operator.
Inside the emit_rewrite_diff function there is a also a line
ecbdata.ws_rule = whitespace_rule(name_b ? name_b : name_a);
which was also simplified as there is also a dereference before the
ternary operator.

All options that trigger a patch output now override --no-patch.
The case of --binary deserves extra attention: the name may suggest that
it turns a normal patch into a binary patch, but it actually already
enables patch output when normally disabled (e.g. "git log --binary"
displays a patch), hence it makes sense for "git show --no-patch
--binary" to display the binary patch.

In order to express "we do not care about deletions", we had to say
"--diff-filter=ACMRTXUB", giving all the possible change class
except for the one we do not want, "D".
This is cumbersome. As all the change classes are in uppercase,
allow their lowercase counterpart to selectively exclude the class
from the output. When such a negated change class is in the input,
start the filter option with the full bits set.
This would allow us to express the old "show-diff -q" with
"git diff-files --diff-filter=d".

I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is
- diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE
- name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED
- preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
builtin/update-index: obvious
- entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
*" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
builtin/checkout.c
- builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
CE_UPDATE
Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.
So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.
The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

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

$ diff -u -B file1 file2

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.

The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:
* Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.
* You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
touched_flags field;
* And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
which bits the user touched;
* There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called
at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update
opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore
machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

When considering a rename for two files that have a suffix and a prefix
that can overlap, a confusing line is shown. As an example, renaming
"a/b/b/c" to "a/b/c" shows "a/b/{ => }/b/c".
Currently, what we do is calculate the common prefix ("a/b/"), and the
common suffix ("/b/c"), but the same "/b/" is actually counted both in
prefix and suffix. Then when calculating the size of the non-common part,
we end-up with a negative value which is reset to 0, thus the "{ => }".
Do not allow the common suffix to overlap the common prefix and stop
when reaching a "/" that would be in both.

creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff

to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are

"git diff --stat" miscounted the total number of changed lines when

Even though we show a separate *UNMERGED* entry in the patch and
diffstat output (or in the --raw format, for that matter) in
addition to and separately from the diff against the specified stage
(defaulting to #2) for unmerged paths, they should not be counted in
the total number of files affected---that would lead to counting the
same path twice.
The separation done by the previous step makes this fix simple and
straightforward. Among the filepairs in diff_queue, paths that
weren't modified, and the extra "unmerged" entries do not count as
total number of files.

The diffstat generation logic, with --stat-count limit, is
implemented as three loops.
- The first counts the width necessary to show stats up to
specified number of entries, and notes up to how many entries in
the data we need to iterate to show the graph;
- The second iterates that many times to draw the graph, adjusts
the number of "total modified files", and counts the total
added/deleted lines for the part that was shown in the graph;
- The third iterates over the remainder and only does the part to
count "total added/deleted lines" and to adjust "total modified
files" without drawing anything.
Move the logic to count added/deleted lines and modified files from
the second loop to the third loop.
This incidentally fixes a bug. The third loop was not filtering
binary changes (counted in bytes) from the total added/deleted as it
should. The second loop implemented this correctly, so if a binary
change appeared earlier than the --stat-count cutoff, the code
counted number of added/deleted lines correctly, but if it appeared
beyond the cutoff, the number of lines would have mixed with the
byte count in the buggy third loop.
