When diff is invoked with --color-words (w/o =regex), use the regular
expression the user has configured as diff.wordregex.
diff drivers configured via attributes take precedence over the
diff.wordregex-words setting. If the user wants to change them, they have
their own configuration variables.

Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via
the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute. The user can then set the
driver on a file in .gitattributes. If a regex is given on the
command line, it overrides the driver's setting.
We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had
funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++.
(The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk
to make sure they remain readable.)

We silently truncate a match at the newline, which may lead to
unexpected behaviour, e.g., when matching "<[^>]*>" against
<foo
bar>
since then "<foo" becomes a word (and "bar>" doesn't!) even though the
regex said only angle-bracket-delimited things can be words.
To alleviate the problem slightly, use REG_NEWLINE so that negated
classes can't match a newline. Of course newlines can still be
matched explicitly.

In some applications, words are not delimited by white space. To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with
git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'
Note that words cannot contain newline characters.
As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.
Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

Up until now, the color-words code assumed that word boundaries are
identical to white space characters.
Therefore, it could get away with a very simple scheme: it copied the
hunks, substituted newlines for each white space character, called
libxdiff with the processed text, and then identified the text to
output by the offsets (which agreed since the original text had the
same length).
This code was ugly, for a number of reasons:
- it was impossible to introduce 0-character word boundaries,
- we had to print everything word by word, and
- the code needed extra special handling of newlines in the removed part.
Fix all of these issues by processing the text such that
- we build word lists, separated by newlines,
- we remember the original offsets for every word, and
- after calling libxdiff on the wordlists, we parse the hunk headers, and
find the corresponding offsets, and then
- we print the removed/added parts in one go.
The pre and post samples in the test were provided by Santi Béjar.
Note that there is some strange special handling of hunk headers where
one line range is 0 due to POSIX: in this case, the start is one too
low. In other words a hunk header '@@ -1,0 +2 @@' actually means that
the line must be added after the _second_ line of the pre text, _not_
the first.

Currently we just skip rewrite diffs for binary files; this
patch makes an exception for files which will be textconv'd,
and actually performs the textconv before generating the
diff.
Conceptually, rewrite diffs should be in the exact same
format as the a non-rewrite diff, except that we refuse to
share any context. Thus it makes very little sense for "git

show "Binary files differ".

The current emit_rewrite_diff code always writes a text patch without
checking whether the content is binary. This means that if you end up with
a rewrite diff for a binary file, you get lots of raw binary goo in your
patch.
Instead, if we have binary files, then let's just skip emit_rewrite_diff
altogether. We will already have shown the "dissimilarity index" line, so
it is really about the diff contents. If binary diffs are turned off, the
"Binary files a/file and b/file differ" message should be the same in
either case. If we do have binary patches turned on, there isn't much
point in making a less-efficient binary patch that does a total rewrite;
no human is going to read it, and since binary patches don't apply with
any fuzz anyway, the result of application should be the same.

Some history viewers use the diff plumbing to generate diffs
rather than going through the "git diff" porcelain.
Currently, there is no way for them to specify that they
would like to see the text-converted version of the diff.
This patch adds a "--textconv" option to allow such a
plumbing user to allow text conversion. The user can then
tell the viewer whether or not they would like text
conversion enabled.
While it may be tempting add a configuration option rather
than requiring each plumbing user to be configured to pass
--textconv, that is somewhat dangerous. Text-converted diffs
generally cannot be applied directly, so each plumbing user
should "opt in" to generating such a diff, either by
explicit request of the user or by confirming that their
output will not be fed to patch.

We treat symlinks as text containing the results of the

Similarly gitlink components just end up as the text
"Subproject commit $sha1", which we should leave intact.
Note that a typechange may be broken into two parts: the
removal of the old part and the addition of the new. In that
case, we _do_ show the textconv for any part which is the
addition or removal of a file we would ordinarily textconv,
since it is purely acting on the file contents.

Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly
cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate

This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which
controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is
explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as
well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing).
Because both text conversion and external diffing are
controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the
"plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the

suffered from being too coarse-grained.

The original implementation of textconv put the conversion
into fill_mmfile. This was a bad idea for a number of
reasons:
- it made the semantics of fill_mmfile unclear. In some
cases, it was allocating data (if a text conversion
occurred), and in some cases not (if we could use the
data directly from the filespec). But the caller had
no idea which had happened, and so didn't know whether
the memory should be freed
- similarly, the caller had no idea if a text conversion
had occurred, and so didn't know whether the contents
should be treated as binary or not. This meant that we
incorrectly guessed that text-converted content was
binary and didn't actually show it (unless the user
overrode us with "diff.foo.binary = false", which then
created problems in plumbing where the text conversion
did _not_ occur)
- not all callers of fill_mmfile want the text contents. In
particular, we don't really want diffstat, whitespace
checks, patch id generation, etc, to look at the
converted contents.
This patch pulls the conversion code directly into
builtin_diff, so that we only see the conversion when
generating an actual patch. We also then know whether we are
doing a conversion, so we can check the binary-ness and free
the data from the mmfile appropriately (the previous version
leaked quite badly when text conversion was used)

When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the
differences of a canonical text form rather than either a
binary patch or simply "binary files differ."
Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an
external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of
work, since the external command needed to take care of
doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the
benefit of git's colorization and other options.
This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a
file to its canonical format before performing the diff.
This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but
is much less work to set up. For example:
$ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes
$ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool
$ git config diff.exif.binary false
allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output
of exiftool.

The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It
can say one of three things:
1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not
(i.e., diff or !diff)
2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e.,
diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script)
3. this file should use particular funcname patterns
(i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex)
Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses,
since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g.,
an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the
file is binary).
However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there
is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether
this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use
this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo
indicates that the file is definitely text.
This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff
driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We
default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff
attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have
no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current
behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true.
This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up
the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling
code had to know more about whether attributes were false,
true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness
is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations
just by passing back a driver struct.

Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile
as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then
pull information about that profile from the config as
diff.foo.*.
The code for each is currently completely separate from the
other, which has several disadvantages:
- there is duplication as we maintain code to create and
search the separate lists of external drivers and
funcname patterns
- it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is
unclear where they should go
- the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the
"check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname
pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in
refactoring the binary-checking code.
This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff"
drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which
is specified by a single struct.
Note that one major difference between the two pieces of
code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded,
whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff"
porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.

When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it
would generate a diff header with the absolute path
prepended by the prefix, like:
diff --git a/dev/null b/foo
Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate
the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would
produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary
diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git
apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename.
This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything
visible in the diff.
Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a
/dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the
basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to
handle. If you do
git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo
you'll still get a patch like
diff --git a/a b/bin/echo
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
index ...
and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of
reasons, and the diff is simply bogus.
And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible
to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename
or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't
know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the
right thing to do!

This is because openssl header files are always included in

same reason.
Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c. But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.
As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references

When multiple regular expressions are concatenated with "\n", they were
traditionally AND'ed together, and only a line that matches _all_ of them
is taken as a match. This however is unwieldy when multiple regexp
feature is used to specify alternatives.
This fixes the semantics to take the first match. A nagative pattern, if
matches, makes the line to fail as before. A match with a positive
pattern will be the final match, and what it captures in $1 is used as the
hunk header comment.
We could write alternatives using "|" in ERE, but the machinery can only
use captured $1 as the hunk header comment (or $0 if there is no match in
$1), so you cannot write:
"junk ( A | B ) | garbage ( C | D )"
and expect both "junk" and "garbage" to get stripped with the existing
code. With this fix, you can write it as:
"junk ( A | B ) \n garbage ( C | D )"
and the way capture works would match the user expectation more
naturally.

Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by
setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option
takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the
GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of
some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression
mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are
interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |.
As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended
regular expression operators.
Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not
interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression
mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to
fail on those platforms.
Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions,
and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU
platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there.
Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable
patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere.
Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and
complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do
not need to be backslashed.
For example, the GNU Basic RE:
^[ ]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$
becomes the following Extended RE:
^[ ]*((public|static).*)$

The point of --quiet was to return the status as early as possible without
doing any extra processing. Well behaved scripts, when they expect to run
many diff operations inside, are supposed to run "update-index --refresh"
upfront; we do not want them to pay the price of iterating over the index
and comparing the contents to fix the stat dirtiness, and we avoided most
of the processing in diffcore_std() when --quiet is in effect.
But scripts that adhere to the good practice won't have to pay any more
price than the necessary lstat(2) that will report stat cleanliness, as
long as only -q is given without any fancier diff options.
More importantly, users who do ask for "--quiet -M --filter=D" (in order
to notice only the deletion, not paths that disappeared only because they
have been renamed away) deserve to get the result they asked for, even it
means they have to pay the extra price; the alternative is to get a cheap

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.

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.

Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
for-each-ref: Allow a trailing slash in the patterns
The dirstat code depends on the fact that we always generate diffs with
the names sorted, since it then just does a single-pass walk-over of the
sorted list of names and how many changes there were. The sorting means
that all files are nicely grouped by directory.
That all works fine.
Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list
of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat
walk gets all confused, and you can get results like this:
[torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
3.0% arch/powerpc/configs/
6.8% arch/arm/configs/
2.7% arch/powerpc/configs/
4.2% arch/arm/configs/
5.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
8.4% arch/arm/configs/
5.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
23.3% arch/arm/configs/
8.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
4.0% arch/
4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
4.0% drivers/watchdog/
7.6% drivers/
3.5% fs/
The trivial fix is to add a sorting pass, fixing it to:
[torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
43.0% arch/arm/configs/
25.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
5.3% arch/
4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
4.0% drivers/watchdog/
7.6% drivers/
3.5% fs/
Spot the difference. In case anybody wonders: it's because of a ton of
renames from {include/asm-blackfin => arch/blackfin/include/asm} that just
totally messed up the file ordering in between arch/arm and arch/powerpc.

This further enhances xdi_diff_outf() interface so that it takes two
common parameters: the callback function that processes one line at a
time, and a pointer to its application specific callback data structure.
xdi_diff_outf() creates its own "xdiff_emit_state" structure and stashes
these two away inside it, which is used by the lowest level output
function in the xdiff_outf() callchain, consume_one(), to call back to the
application layer. With this restructuring, we lift the requirement that
the caller supplied callback data structure embeds xdiff_emit_state
structure as its first member.

This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline
and --attach.
The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last
newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.
The second change is to always write the line termination character
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to
improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email
client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline
version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the
attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

Besides Linus' arguments in the log message of 50f575fc, resetting color
before printing newline is also important to keep 'git add --patch'
happy. If the last line(s) of a file are removed, then that hunk will
end with a colored line. However, if the newline comes before the color
reset, then the diff output will have an additional line at the end
containing only the reset sequence. This causes trouble in
git-add--interactive.perl's parse_diff function, because @colored will
have one more element than @diff, and that last element will contain the
color reset. The elements of these arrays will then be copied to @hunk,
but only as many as the number of elements in @diff. As a result the
last color reset is lost and all subsequent terminal output will be
printed in color.

The current rename limit default of 100 was arbitrarily

git-status templates is set independently; we bump it up to

There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to
clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and
work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read

is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side.

This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:
if (some_expression)
free (some_expression);
with the now-equivalent:
free (some_expression);
It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html
FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
perl -0x3b -pi -e \
's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'
Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.
Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this
if (x)
free (x);
else
foo ();
into this:
free (x);
else
foo ();
There were none of those here, either.
If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

This allows the --relative option to say which subdirectory to

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start
from a subdirectory:
$ git diff --relative
shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part. People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.
There are a few things I should also mention about the change:
- This works not just with diff but also works with the log
family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.
In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:
$ git log --relative -p
but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving
pathspec yourself:
$ git log --relative -p .
This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
but show the changes with full context. I think it makes
more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.
- Because this works also with the log family, you could
format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
subdirectory, like so:
$ cd gitk-git
$ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb
But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
never become the default, with or without repository or user
preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial
patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
so.
- This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
combined use of the options, but probably I should.
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I
have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's
actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an
project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated
directory structure with semantic meaning.
What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which
sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you
don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves.
What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often
hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a
very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that
such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another
patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_
subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a
couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in
themselves.
So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific
sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the
subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level
changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific

x86: remove over noisy debug printk
pageattr-test.c contains a noisy debug printk that people reported.
The condition under which it prints (randomly tapping into a mem_map[]
hole and not being able to c_p_a() there) is valid behavior and not
interesting to report.
Remove it.

where that latter example is an example of significant work in some
individual fs/*/ subdirectories (like the patches to reiserfs accounting
for 7.6% of the whole), but then discounting those individual filesystems,
there's also 15.3% other "random" things that weren't worth reporting on
their oen left over under fs/ in general (either in that directory itself,
or in subdirectories of fs/ that didn't have enough changes to be reported
individually).
I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that
is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own.
So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se,
because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs,
7.6% of fuse etc.
If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the
"--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when
they have been already reported for a sub-directory. That cumulative
output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from
a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to
the root.
For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes

100%: now the changes that were already reported for the sub-directories
under fs/ are then cumulatively included in the whole percentage of fs/
(ie now shows 61.5% as opposed to the 15.3% without the cumulative
reporting).
The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems
to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by
giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be
at 5% instead)
NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed,
not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not
generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we
don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count,
but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories).
Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me,
but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few
subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you
combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc.
But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out
git log --dirstat
and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/,
gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like
git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4

the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and
doing a

CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:
- false: disable safecrlf mechanism
- warn: warn about irreversible conversions
- true: refuse irreversible conversions
The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.
The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:
- we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
original file.
- for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
we do not not print annoying warnings.
There are exceptions. Even though...
- "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
next checkout would, so the safety triggers;
- "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
safety does not trigger;
- "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To
catch potential problems early, safety triggers.
The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This
patch is not about reducing them.
* It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and
wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
to be checked with lstat(2) again.
* fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths
we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
fo callers:
- git-apply --index
- git-update-index
- git-checkout-index
- git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
- git-commit (ditto)
- git-mv (ditto)
* refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
with CE_UPTODATE.
* write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
prevent an accident from happening.

The funcname patterns influence the "comment" on @@ lines of

The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set
porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on
color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this
function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color
or rename detection.
However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing
and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in
git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This
means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that
once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but
_not_ the color.diff variable.
We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where
"basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things
affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).

For consistency, make the two tools report whitespace errors in the
same way (the output of "diff --check" has been tweaked to match
that of "git apply").
Note that although the textual content is basically the same only
"git diff --check" provides a colorized version of the problematic
lines; making "git apply" do colorization will require more extensive
changes (figuring out the diff colorization preferences of the user)
and so that will be a subject for another commit.

This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:
- the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c
- the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed
- the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c
The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.
At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.
This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.
* The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for
humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.
* The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.
* The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.
This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.
