25e5e2bf85 combine-diff: support format_callback
This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.

So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.

Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.

9969454435 diff -c/--cc: do not mistake "resolved as deletion" as "use working tree"
The combined diff machinery can be used to compare:

 - a merge commit with its parent commits;
 - a working-tree file with multiple stages in an unmerged index; or
 - a working-tree file with the HEAD and the index.

The internal function combine-diff.c:show_patch_diff() checked if it needs
to read the "result" from the working tree by looking at the object name
of the result --- if it is null_sha1, it read from the working tree.

This mistook a merge that records a deletion as the conflict resolution
as if it is a cue to read from the working tree. Pass this information
explicitly from the caller instead.

Noticed and reported by Johan Herland.

0508fe533d combine-diff: respect textconv attributes
When doing a combined diff, we did not respect textconv attributes at
all. This generally lead to us printing "Binary files differ" when we
could show a combined diff of the converted text.

This patch converts file contents according to textconv attributes. The
implementation is slightly ugly; because the textconv code is tightly
linked with the diff_filespec code, we temporarily create a diff_filespec
during conversion. In practice, though, this should not create a
performance problem.

4d5f347199 combine-diff: handle binary files as binary
The combined diff code path is totally different from the
regular diff code path, and didn't handle binary files at
all. The results of a combined diff on a binary file could
range from annoying (since we spewed binary garbage,
possibly upsetting the user's terminal), to wrong (embedded
NULs caused us to show incorrect diffs, with lines truncated
at the NUL character), to potential security problems
(embedded NULs could interfere with "-z" output, possibly
defeating policy hooks which parse diff output).

Instead, we consider a combined diff to be binary if any of
the input blobs is binary. To show a binary combined diff,
we indicate "Binary blobs differ"; the "index" meta line
will show which parents had which blob.

One loop combined both the patch generation and checking

dfea79004c remove ecb parameter from xdi_diff_outf()
xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter,
ignoring any value that callers pass in.  It's no surprise then that all
callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure.  They also don't
read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor
for output.   Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

582aa00bdf git diff too slow for a file
Ever since the xdiff library had been introduced to git, all its callers
have used the flag XDF_NEED_MINIMAL.  It makes sure that the smallest
possible diff is produced, but that takes quite some time if there are
lots of differences that can be expressed in multiple ways.

This flag makes a difference for only 0.1% of the non-merge commits in
the git repo of Linux, both in terms of diff size and execution time.
The patches there are mostly nice and small.

SungHyun Nam however reported a case in a different repo where a diff
took more than 20 times longer to generate with XDF_NEED_MINIMAL than
without.  Rebasing became really slow.

This patch removes this flag from all callers.  The default of xdiff is
saner because it has minimal to no impact in the normal case of small
diffs and doesn't incur that much of a speed penalty for large ones.

A follow-up patch may introduce a command line option to set the flag if
the user needs it, similar to GNU diff's -d/--minimal.

2179870803 combined diff: correctly handle truncated file
Consider an evil merge of two commits A and B, both of which have a
file 'foo', but the merge result does not have that file.

The combined-diff code learned in 4462731 (combine-diff: do not punt
on removed or added files., 2006-02-06) to concisely show only the
removal, since that is the evil part and the previous contents are
presumably uninteresting.

However, to diagnose an empty merge result, it overloaded the variable
that holds the file's length.  This means that the check also triggers
for truncated files.  Consequently, such files were not shown in the
diff at all despite the merge being clearly evil.

Fix this by adding a new variable that distinguishes whether the file
was deleted (which is the case 4462731 handled) or truncated.  In the
truncated case, we show the full combined diff again, which is rather
spammy but at least does not hide the evilness.

b810cbbde9 diff --cc: a lost line at the beginning of the file is shown incorrectly
When combine-diff inspected the diff from one parent to the merge result,
it misinterpreted a header in the form @@ -l,k +0,0 @@.

This hunk header means that K lines were removed from the beginning of the
file, so the lost lines must be queued to the sline that represents the
first line of the merge result, but we incremented our pointer incorrectly
and ended up queuing it to the second line, which in turn made the lossage
appear _after_ the first line.

While reading the second patch (that removes "two" and then "fyra"), after
finding where removal of the "two" matches, we need to find existing
removal of "fyra" (if exists) in the removal list, but the match has to
happen after all the existing matches (in this case "two").  The code used
a naïve O(n^2) algorithm to compute this by scanning the whole removal
list over and over again.

This patch remembers where the next scan should be started in the existing
removal list to avoid this.

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

3928097020 diff: Help "less" hide ^M from the output
When the tracked contents have CRLF line endings, colored diff output
shows "^M" at the end of output lines, which is distracting, even though
the pager we use by default ("less") knows to hide them.

The problem is that "less" hides a carriage-return only at the end of the
line, immediately before a line feed.  The colored diff output does not
take this into account, and emits four element sequence for each line:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating line feed;
   - reset color
   - line feed.

By including the carriage return at the end of the line in the second
item, we are breaking the smart our pager has in order not to show "^M".
This can be fixed by changing the sequence to:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating end-of-line;
   - reset color
   - end-of-line.

where end-of-line is either a single linefeed or a CRLF pair.  When the
output is not colored, "force this color" and "reset color" sequences are
both empty, so we won't have this problem with or without this patch.

663af3422a Full rework of quote_c_style and write_name_quoted.
* quote_c_style works on a strbuf instead of a wild buffer.
* quote_c_style is now clever enough to not add double quotes if not needed.

* write_name_quoted inherits those advantages, but also take a different
  set of arguments. Now instead of asking for quotes or not, you pass a
  "terminator". If it's \0 then we assume you don't want to escape, else C
  escaping is performed. In any case, the terminator is also appended to the
  stream. It also no longer takes the prefix/prefix_len arguments, as it's
  seldomly used, and makes some optimizations harder.

* write_name_quotedpfx is created to work like write_name_quoted and take
  the prefix/prefix_len arguments.

Thanks to those API changes, diff.c has somehow lost weight, thanks to the
removal of functions that were wrappers around the old write_name_quoted
trying to give it a semantics like the new one, but performing a lot of
allocations for this goal. Now we always write directly to the stream, no
intermediate allocation is performed.

As a side effect of the refactor in builtin-apply.c, the length of the bar
graphs in diffstats are not affected anymore by the fact that the path was
clipped.

30b250104d Future-proof source for changes in xdemitconf_t
The instances of xdemitconf_t were initialized member by member.
Instead, initialize them to all zero, so we do not have
to update those places each time we introduce a new member.

[jc: minimally fixed by getting rid of a new global]

8a912bcb25 Ensure return value from xread() is always stored into an ssize_t
This patch fixes all calls to xread() where the return value is not
stored into an ssize_t. The patch should not have any effect whatsoever,
other than putting better/more appropriate type names on variables.

f1af60bdba Support 'diff=pgm' attribute
This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs
meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed
per path.

To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom
diff driver in the configuration:

	[diff "my-c-diff"]
		command = <<your command string comes here>>

Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver
using the attribute mechanism.

	*.c	diff=my-c-diff

The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is
used for specifying the type of the contents, while the
configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done
to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both
platform and personal taste.

dc49cd769b Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_t
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.

On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().

In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.
