cd112cef99 diff options: add --color
This patch is a slightly adjusted version of Junio's patch:
http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au/archives/git/0604/19354.html

However, instead of using a config variable, this patch makes it available
as a diff option.

698ce6f87e fmt-patch: Support --attach
This patch touches a couple of files, because it adds options to print a
custom text just after the subject of a commit, and just after the
diffstat.

8824689884 diff family: add --check option
Actually, it is a diff option now, so you can say

	git diff --check

to ask if what you are about to commit is a good patch.

[jc: this also would work for fmt-patch, but the point is that
 the check is done before making a commit.  format-patch is run
 from an already created commit, and that is too late to catch
 whitespace damaged change.]

ee1e5412a7 git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properly
We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as
part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u").

This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric
argument. So now you can just say

	git diff --unified=5

to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do
something silly like

	GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u

(that silly format does continue to still work, of course).

0660626caf binary diff: further updates.
This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.

 * "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
   binary patch.  It implies --full-index and -p.

 * "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
   "apply --binary".

 * After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
   to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
   can extend it later.  Currently there are two mechanisms
   defined: "literal" and "delta".  The former records the
   deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
   from the preimage to postimage.

   For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
   length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
   decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
   inflating).  Improvement patches are very welcomed.

0fe7c1de16 built-in diff: assorted updates.
"git diff(n)" without --base, --ours, etc. defaults to --cc,
which usually is the same as -p unless you are in the middle of
a conflicted merge, just like the shell script version.

"git diff(n) blobA blobB path" complains and dies.

"git diff(n) tree0 tree1 tree2...treeN" does combined diff that
shows a merge of tree1..treeN to result in tree0.

Giving "-c" option to any command that defaults to "--cc" turns
off dense-combined flag.

6973dcaee7 Libify diff-files.
This is the first installment to libify diff brothers.

The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions()
infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means
the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before.
The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from
the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher
way.

As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply
stupid, so I am renaming it back.  The new diff-lib.c is to

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.

The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like

	if (rev->logopt)
		show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");

but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.

That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:

	while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
		log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
		free(commit->buffer);
		commit->buffer = NULL;
	}

so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.

I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.

This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

a8baa7b9f5 tree-diff: do not assume we use only one pathspec
The way tree-diff was set up assumed we would use only one set
of pathspec during the entire life of the program.  Move the
pathspec related static variables out to diff_options structure
so that we can filter commits with one set of paths while show
the actual diffs using different set of paths.

I suspect this breaks blame.c, and makes "git log paths..." to
default to the --full-diff, the latter of which is dealt with

create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be

d416df8869 combine-diff: Record diff status a bit more faithfully
This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX"
lines like two-way diff-patch output does, by checking the
status from each parent.

The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by
showing diff status letters with each parent.  While most of the
case you would see "MM" in the output, an Evil Merge that
touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is
possible and it would be shown like these:

    $ git-diff-tree --abbrev -c HEAD

0a798076b8 combine-diff: move formatting logic to show_combined_diff()
This way, diff-files can make use of it.  Also implement the
full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for
consistency.  With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would
show what is expected.

There is no way to get the historical output (useful for
debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively
it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs
with parents".

diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c.  For
textual combined diff, use -p -c.

ee63802422 diff-tree -c raw output
NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges 
are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics.

I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't 
actually do that.

The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable 
from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just 
one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons 
for <n> parents.

So now, in the kernel, when you do

	git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd

(to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you 
get

	cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
	::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287       arch/arm/Kconfig

ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes 
followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by
result sha1).

Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output.

Cool/stupid exercise:

	$ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort |
	  uniq -c | sort -n | less -S

will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict
resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

       {
     +      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.

ac1b3d1248 Split up tree diff functions into tree-diff.c library
This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.

This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.

Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.

The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.

Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree
itself.

more than <num> paths are possibly created as renames.

6b5ee137e5 Diff clean-up.
This is a long overdue clean-up to the code for parsing and passing
diff options.  It also tightens some constness issues.

5cfcd07c93 Retire diff-helper.
The textual diff generation with built-in '-p' in diff-* brothers has
proven to be useful enough that git-diff-helper outlived its usefulness.

ca8c9156f8 diff-raw: Use 'A' instead of 'N' for added files.
This actually changes the diff-raw status letter from N to A
for added files.

e7baa4f45f Use symbolic constants for diff-raw status indicators.
Both Cogito and StGIT prefer to see 'A' for new files.  The
current 'N' is visually harder to distinguish from 'M', which is
used for modified files.  Prepare the internals to use symbolic
constants to make the change easier.

e68b6f1525 Split up "diff_format" into "format" and "line_termination".
This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero-
termination.

It also removes the difference between HUMAN and MACHINE formats, and
they both become DIFF_FORMAT_RAW, with the difference being just in the
line and inter-filename termination.

It also makes the code easier to understand.

dda2d79af2 [PATCH] Clean up diff option descriptions.
I got tired of maintaining almost duplicated descriptions in
diff-* brothers, both in usage string and documentation.

52f28529f4 [PATCH] git-diff-*: --name-only and --name-only-z.
Porcelain layers often want to find only names of changed files,
and even with diff-raw output format they end up having to pick
out only the filename.  Support --name-only (and --name-only-z
for xargs -0 and cpio -0 users that want to treat filenames with
embedded newlines sanely) flag to help them.

f2ce9fde57 [PATCH] Add --diff-filter= output restriction to diff-* family.
This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts.  The new option takes a string that
consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:

 - A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
   (deleted) or N (created).  Use B to look for them.

 - The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
   anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
   selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
   that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).

For example,

    $ git-rev-list HEAD |
      git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR

shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

ce24067549 [PATCH] diff: Fix docs and add -O to diff-helper.
This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings:

 - clarify the semantics of -R.  It is not "output in reverse";
   rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards".  Semantically
   they are different when -C is involved.

 - describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers.  It was
   implemented, documented but not described in usage text.

Also it adds -O to diff-helper.  Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B),
this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers.  While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between
diff.c and diffcore backends).
