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.

This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

It used to be that "git-unpack-objects" would give nice percentages, but
now that we don't unpack the initial clone pack any more, it doesn't. And
I'd love to do that nice percentage view in the pack objects downloader
too, but the thing doesn't even read the pack header, much less know how
much it's going to get, so I was lazy and didn't.
Instead, it at least prints out how much data it's gotten, and what the
packing speed is. Which makes the user realize that it's actually doing
something useful instead of sitting there silently (and if the recipient
knows how large the final result is, he can at least make a guess about
when it migt be done).
So with this patch, I get something like this on my DSL line:
[torvalds@g5 ~]$ time git clone master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6 clone-test
Packing 188543 objects
48.398MB (154 kB/s)
where even the speed approximation seems to be roughtly correct (even
though my algorithm is a truly stupid one, and only really gives "speed in
the last half second or so").
Anyway, _something_ like this is definitely needed. It could certainly be
better (if it showed the same kind of thing that git-unpack-objects did,
that would be much nicer, but would require parsing the object stream as
it comes in). But this is big step forward, I think.

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

Ok. This is the insane patch to do this.
It really isn't very careful, and the reason I call it "approxidate()"
will become obvious when you look at the code. It is very liberal in what
it accepts, to the point where sometimes the results may not make a whole
lot of sense.
It accepts "last week" as a date string, by virtue of "last" parsing as
the number 1, and it totally ignoring superfluous fluff like "ago", so
"last week" ends up being exactly the same thing as "1 week ago". Fine so
far.
It has strange side effects: "last december" will actually parse as "Dec
1", which actually _does_ turn out right, because it will then notice that
it's not December yet, so it will decide that you must be talking about a
date last year. So it actually gets it right, but it's kind of for the
"wrong" reasons.
It also accepts the numbers 1..10 in string format ("one" .. "ten"), so
you can do "ten weeks ago" or "ten hours ago" and it will do the right
thing.
But it will do some really strange thigns too: the string "this will last
forever", will not recognize anyting but "last", which is recognized as
"1", which since it doesn't understand anything else it will think is the
day of the month. So if you do
gitk --since="this will last forever"
the date will actually parse as the first day of the current month.
And it will parse the string "now" as "now", but only because it doesn't
understand it at all, and it makes everything relative to "now".
Similarly, it doesn't actually parse the "ago" or "from now", so "2 weeks
ago" is exactly the same as "2 weeks from now". It's the current date
minus 14 days.
But hey, it's probably better (and certainly faster) than depending on GNU
date. So now you can portably do things like
gitk --since="two weeks and three days ago"
git log --since="July 5"
git-whatchanged --since="10 hours ago"
git log --since="last october"
and it will actually do exactly what you thought it would do (I think). It
will count 17 days backwards, and it will do so even if you don't have GNU
date installed.
(I don't do "last monday" or similar yet, but I can extend it to that too
if people want).
It was kind of fun trying to write code that uses such totally relaxed
"understanding" of dates yet tries to get it right for the trivial cases.
The result should be mixed with a few strange preprocessor tricks, and be
submitted for the IOCCC ;)
Feel free to try it out, and see how many strange dates it gets right. Or
wrong.
And if you find some interesting (and valid - not "interesting" as in
"strange", but "interesting" as in "I'd be interested in actually doing
this) thing it gets wrong - usually by not understanding it and silently
just doing some strange things - please holler.
Now, as usual this certainly hasn't been getting a lot of testing. But my
code always works, no?

A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175
where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits. git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.
This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use. You
can have:
[diff]
renamelimit = 30
in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit. You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':
git diff -M -l0
We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so. This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

which parses into three variables: "core.filemode" is associated with the
string "false", and "diff.external" gets the appropriate quoted value.
Right now we only react to one variable: "core.filemode" is a boolean that
decides if we should care about the 0100 (user-execute) bit of the stat
information. Even that is just a parsing demonstration - this doesn't
actually implement that st_mode compare logic itself.
Different programs can react to different config options, although they
should always fall back to calling "git_default_config()" on any config
option name that they don't recognize.

This adds more cruft to diff --git header to record the blob SHA1 and
the mode the patch/diff is intended to be applied against, to help the

Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the
target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in
her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to
that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched
temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree
as the common ancestor.
The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem
object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output
routine.

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read
and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link
to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled
to use the textfile symbolic ref.
The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah
.git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so
that they can deal with either implementation.

Symbolic refs are understood by resolve_ref(), so existing read_ref()
users will automatically understand them as well.

This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file
that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus
introduces the notion of ref aliases.
This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink,
but one of these symbolic refs instead.
[jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes
and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of
leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.]

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

Right now we don't return any error value at all from parse_date(), and if
we can't parse it, we just silently leave the result buffer unchanged.
That's fine for the current user, which will always default to the current
date, but it's a crappy interface, and we might well be better off with an
error message rather than just the default date.
So let's change the thing to return a negative value if an error occurs,
and the length of the result otherwise (snprintf behaviour: if the buffer
is too small, it returns how big it _would_ have been).
[ I started looking at this in case we could support date-based revision
names. Looks ugly. Would have to parse relative dates.. ]

This reverts 6c5f9baa3b commit, whose
change breaks gcc-2.95.
Not that I ignore portability to compilers that are properly C99, but
keeping compilation with GCC working is more important, at least for
now. We would probably end up declaring with "name[1]" and teach the
allocator to subtract one if we really aimed for portability, but that
is left for later rounds.

We always show the diff as an absolute path, but pathnames to diff are
taken relative to the current working directory (and if no pathnames are
given, the default ends up being all of the current working directory).
Note that "../xyz" also works, so you can do
cd linux/drivers/char
git diff ../block
and it will generate a diff of the linux/drivers/block changes.

It was a mistake to use GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES
environment variable to specify what alternate object pools to
look for missing objects when working with an object database.
It is not a property of the process running the git commands,
but a property of the object database that is partial and needs
other object pools to complete the set of objects it lacks.
This patch allows you to have $GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY/info/alternates
whose contents is in exactly the same format as the environment
variable, to let an object database name alternate object pools
it depends on.

GCC's format __attribute__ is good for checking errors, especially
with -Wformat=2 parameter. This fixes most of the reported problems
against 2005-08-09 snapshot.
Per discussion with people interested in binary packaging,
change the default template location from /etc/git-core to
/usr/share/git-core hierarchy. If a user wants to run git
before installing for whatever reason, in addition to adding
$src to the PATH environment variable, git-init-db can be run
with --template=$src/templates/blt/ parameter.

This allows git-send-pack to push local refs to a destination
repository under different names.
Here is the name mapping rules for refs.
* If there is no ref mapping on the command line:
- if '--all' is specified, it is equivalent to specifying
<local> ":" <local> for all the existing local refs on the
command line
- otherwise, it is equivalent to specifying <ref> ":" <ref> for
all the refs that exist on both sides.
* <name> is just a shorthand for <name> ":" <name>
* <src> ":" <dst>
push ref that matches <src> to ref that matches <dst>.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote refs, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
For example,
- "git-send-pack --all <remote>" works exactly as before;
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:upstream" pushes local master
to remote ref that matches "upstream". If there is no such
ref, it is an error.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master:refs/heads/upstream" pushes
local master to remote refs/heads/upstream, even when
refs/heads/upstream does not exist.
- "git-send-pack <remote> master" into an empty remote
repository pushes the local ref/heads/master to the remote
ref/heads/master.

This causes ssh-pull to request objects in prefetch() and read then in
fetch(), such that it reduces the unpipelined round-trip time.
This also makes sha1_write_from_fd() support having a buffer of data
which it accidentally read from the fd after the object; this was
formerly not a problem, because it would always get a short read at
the end of an object, because the next object had not been
requested. This is no longer true.

Introduce a new file $GIT_DIR/info/grafts (or $GIT_GRAFT_FILE)
which is a list of "fake commit parent records". Each line of
this file is a commit ID, followed by parent commit IDs, all
40-byte hex SHA1 separated by a single SP in between. The
records override the parent information we would normally read
from the commit objects, allowing both adding "fake" parents
(i.e. grafting), and pretending as if a commit is not a child of
some of its real parents (i.e. cauterizing).

The git-update-server-info command prepares informational files
to help clients discover the contents of a repository, and pull
from it via a dumb transport protocols. Currently, the
following files are produced.
- The $repo/info/refs file lists the name of heads and tags
available in the $repo/refs/ directory, along with their
SHA1. This can be used by git-ls-remote command running on
the client side.
- The $repo/info/rev-cache file describes the commit ancestry
reachable from references in the $repo/refs/ directory. This
file is in an append-only binary format to make the server
side friendly to rsync mirroring scheme, and can be read by
git-show-rev-cache command.
- The $repo/objects/info/pack file lists the name of the packs
available, the interdependencies among them, and the head
commits and tags contained in them. Along with the other two
files, this is designed to help clients to make smart pull
decisions.
The git-receive-pack command is changed to invoke it at the end,
so just after a push to a public repository finishes via "git
push", the server info is automatically updated.
In addition, building of the rev-cache file can be done by a
standalone git-build-rev-cache command separately.

... and make git-diff-files use it too. This all _should_ make the
diffcore-pathspec.c phase unnecessary, since the diff'ers now all do the
path matching early interally.
Useful for pulling stuff off a dedicated server. Instead of connecting
with ssh or just starting a local pipeline, we connect over TCP to the
other side and try to see if there's a git server listening.
Of course, since I haven't written the git server yet, that will never
happen. But the server really just needs to listen on a port, and
execute a "git-upload-pack" when somebody connects.
(It should read one packet-line, which should be of the format
"git-upload-pack directoryname\n"
and eventually we migth have other commands the server might accept).
