Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down,
because lines at the edges of the group are not unique. Picking good
shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has
a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two
diffs. The first is what standard Git emits:

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.

There are two types of string_lists: those that own the
string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the
difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use
either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an
initializer.
Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has
corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no
initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that
case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to
remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually
have each site declare which type it means to use.
This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site
was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

When -W is given we search the lines between the end of the current

we merge those two hunks as they must be part of the same function.
If the next change is an appended chunk we abort the search early in

that by searching from the end of the pre-image in that case instead.

The executable bit will not be detected (and therefore will not be

though the users may still wish to add files as executable for
compatibility with other users who _do_ have `core.filemode`
functionality. For example, Windows users adding shell scripts may
wish to add them as executable for compatibility with users on
non-Windows.
Although this can be done with a plumbing command

If a repository contains more than one root commit, then its HEAD
reflog may contain multiple "creation events", i.e. entries whose
"from" value is the null sha1. Listing such a reflog currently stops
prematurely at the first such entry, even when the reflog still
contains older entries. This can scare users into thinking that their
reflog got truncated after 'git checkout --orphan'.
Continue walking the reflog past such creation events based on the
preceeding reflog entry's "new" value.
The test 'symbolic-ref writes reflog entry' in t1401-symbolic-ref
implicitly relies on the current behavior of the reflog walker to stop
at a root commit and thus to list only the reflog entries that are
relevant for that test. Adjust the test to explicitly specify the
number of relevant reflog entries to be listed.

CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining
what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters
(in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented
by the test t/t4018/css-rule.
The logic behind this behavior is the following: identifiers in CSS
selectors are identifiers in a HTML/XML document. Therefore, the '.'/'#'
character are not part of the identifier, but an indicator of the nature
of the identifier in HTML/XML (class or id). Diffing ".class1" and
".class2" must show that the class name is changed, but we still are
selecting a class.
Logic behind the "pattern" regex is:
1. reject lines ending with a colon/semicolon (properties)
2. if a line begins with a name in column 1, pick the whole line

perf: make the tests work without a worktree
If you ask rev-list for:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index HEAD
we optimize out the actual traversal and just give you the
number of bits set in the commit bitmap. This is faster,
which is good.
But if you ask to limit the size of the traversal, like:
git rev-list --count --use-bitmap-index -n 100 HEAD
we'll still output the full bitmapped number we found. On
the surface, that might even seem OK. You explicitly asked
to use the bitmap index, and it was cheap to compute the
real answer, so we gave it to you.
But there's something much more complicated going on under
the hood. If we don't have a bitmap directly for HEAD, then
we have to actually traverse backwards, looking for a
bitmapped commit. And _that_ traversal is bounded by our
`-n` count.
This is a good thing, because it bounds the work we have to
do, which is probably what the user wanted by asking for
`-n`. But now it makes the output quite confusing. You might
get many values:
- your `-n` value, if we walked back and never found a
bitmap (or fewer if there weren't that many commits)
- the actual full count, if we found a bitmap root for
every path of our traversal with in the `-n` limit
- any number in between! We might have walked back and
found _some_ bitmaps, but then cut off the traversal
early with some commits not accounted for in the result.
So you cannot even see a value higher than your `-n` and say
"OK, bitmaps kicked in, this must be the real full count".
The only sane thing is for git to just clamp the value to a
maximum of the `-n` value, which means we should output the
exact same results whether bitmaps are in use or not.
The test in t5310 demonstrates this by using `-n 1`.
Without this patch we fail in the full-bitmap case (where we
do not have to traverse at all) but _not_ in the
partial-bitmap case (where we have to walk down to find an
actual bitmap). With this patch, both cases just work.
I didn't implement the crazy in-between case, just because
it's complicated to set up, and is really a subset of the
full-count case, which we do cover.

When we run scripted Porcelains, "git" potty has set up the $PATH by
prepending $GIT_EXEC_PATH, the path given by "git --exec-path=$there

dot-source shell script library like git-sh-setup with simple dot
without specifying any path.
t2300 however dot-sources git-sh-setup without adjusting $PATH like
the real "git" potty does. This has not been a problem so far, but
once git-sh-setup wants to rely on the $PATH adjustment, just like
any scripted Porcelains already do, it would become one. It cannot
for example dot-source another shell library without specifying the
full path to it by prefixing $(git --exec-path).

In t5500::check_prot_host_port_path(), diagport is not a variable
used elsewhere and the function is not recursively called so this
can simply lose the "local", which may not be supported by shell
(besides, the function liberally clobbers other variables without
making them "local").
t7403::reset_submodule_urls() overrides the "root" variable used
in the test framework for no good reason; its use is not about
temporarily relocating where the test repositories are created.
This assignment can be made not to clobber the variable by moving
them into the subshells it already uses. Its value is always
$TRASH_DIRECTORY, so we could use it instead there, and this
function that is called only once and its two subshells may not be
necessary (instead, the caller can use "git -C $there config" and
set a value that is derived from $TRASH_DIRECTORY), but this is a
minimum fix that is needed to lose "local".

The one-shot environment variable syntax:
FOO=BAR some-program
is unportable when some-program is actually a shell
function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains
set after the function returns, and on others it does not).
We sometimes get around this by using env, like:
test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program
But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are
themselves a command which can be run. You can't run:
env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program
because env does not know about our shell functions. So
there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one
must resort to:
(
FOO=BAR
export FOO
test_commit
)
which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that
works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting
variables from its argument list, and running the command.
Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in

"git describe --contains" often made a hard-to-justify choice of
tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up
with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old
commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not
described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag. It did
not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to
penalize being on a side branch of a merge. The logic has been
updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which
is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit

Empty lines between functions are shown by grep -W, as it considers them
to be part of the function preceding them. They are not interesting in
most languages. The previous patches stopped showing them for diff -W.
Stop showing empty lines trailing a function with grep -W. Grep scans
the lines of a buffer from top to bottom and prints matching lines
immediately. Thus we need to peek ahead in order to determine if an
empty line is part of a function body and worth showing or not.
Remember how far ahead we peeked in order to avoid having to do so
repeatedly when handling multiple consecutive empty lines.

Add a test demonstrating that git grep -W prints empty lines following
the function context we're actually interested in. The modified test

The function trim_common_tail() exits early if context lines are
requested. If -U0 and -W are specified together then it can still trim
context lines that might belong to a changed function. As a result
that function is shown incompletely.
Fix that by calling trim_common_tail() only if no function context or
fixed context is requested. The parameter ctx is no longer needed now;
remove it.
While at it fix an outdated comment as well.

Empty lines between functions are shown by diff -W, as it considers them
to be part of the function preceding them. They are not interesting in
most languages. The previous patch stopped showing them in the special
case of a function added at the end of a file.
Stop extending context to those empty lines by skipping back over them
from the start of the next function.

If a new function and a preceding empty line is appended, diff -W shows
the previous function in full in order to provide context for that empty
line. In most languages empty lines between sections are not
interesting in and off themselves and showing a whole extra function for
them is not what we want.
Skip empty lines when checking of the appended chunk starts with a
function line, thereby avoiding to extend the context just for them.

If lines are added at the end of a file, diff -W shows the whole file.
That's because get_func_line() only considers the pre-image and gives up
if it sees a record index beyond its end.
Consider the post-image as well to see if the added lines already make
up a full function. If it doesn't then search for the previous function
line by starting from the bottom of the pre-image, thereby avoiding to
confuse get_func_line().
Reuse the existing label called "again", as it's exactly where we need
to jump to when we're done handling the pre-context, but rename it to
"post_context_calculation" in order to document its new purpose better.

Remove the tests that checked against a fixed result and replace them
with more focused checks of desired properties of the created diffs.
That way we get more detailed and meaningful diagnostics.
Store test file contents in files in a subdirectory in order to avoid
cluttering the test script with them.
Use tagged commits to store the changes to test diff -W against instead
of using changes to the worktree. Use the worktree instead to try and
apply the generated patch in order to validate it.
Document unwanted features: trailing empty lines, too much context for
appended functions, insufficient context at the end with -U0.

Since `git worktree add` uses `git checkout` when `[<branch>]` is used,
and `git checkout -` is already supported, it makes sense to allow the
same shortcut in `git worktree add`.

When loosening a pack, the current pack_id gets reused when
checkpointing and the import does not terminate. This causes
problems after checkpointing as the object table, branch, and
tag lists still contains pre-checkpoint references to the
recycled pack_id.
Merely clearing the object_table as suggested by Jeff King in
http://mid.gmane.org/20160517121330.GA7346@sigill.intra.peff.net
is insufficient as the marks set still contains references
to object entries.
Wrong pack_id references branch and tags lists do not cause
errors, but can lead to misleading crash reports and core dumps,
so they are also invalidated.

git-log(1) documents that when specifying the `%C(auto)` format
placeholder will "turn on auto coloring on the next %placeholders
until the color is switched again."
However, when `%C(auto)` is used, the present implementation will turn
colors on unconditionally (even if the color configuration is turned off
for the current context - for example, `--no-color` was specified or the
color is `auto` and the output is not a tty).
Update `format_commit_one` to examine the current context when a format
string of `%C(auto)` is specified, which ensures that we will not
unconditionally write colors. This brings that behavior in line with
the behavior of `%C(auto,<colorname>)`, and allows the user the ability
to specify that color should be displayed only when the output is a
tty.
Additionally, add a test for `%C(auto)` and update the existing tests
for `%C(auto,...)` as they were misidentified as being applicable to
`%C(auto)`.
Tests from Jeff King.

Sometimes the history of a submodule is not considered important by
the projects upstream. To make it easier for downstream users, allow
a boolean field 'submodule.<name>.shallow' in .gitmodules, which can
be used to recommend whether upstream considers the history important.
This field is honored in the initial clone by default, it can be
ignored by giving the `--no-recommend-shallow` option.
