Porcelain commands to use a non-default number of context
lines instead of 3 (the default). With this variable, users
do not have to keep repeating "git log -U8" from the command

"git diff --no-ext-diff" did not output anything for a typechange
filepair when GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF is in effect.
* jv/maint-no-ext-diff:
diff: test precedence of external diff drivers
diff: correctly disable external_diff with --no-ext-diff
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).
The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.
We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.
This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.
One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

"git diff", "git status" and anything that internally uses the
comparison machinery was utterly broken when the difference
involved a file with "-" as its name. This was due to the way "git

any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level
incorrectly read from the standard input.

Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not
show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does
not run the external diff driver either.
This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a
wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the
split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or
specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before
checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse,
run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such
a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff)
does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the
low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code,
even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison
that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read
from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath
further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the
core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual
diff operation.

function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day
one. Move populate_from_stdin() function out of the generic diff.c
to its only user, diff-index.c.
Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read
from the standard input", even if we later decide to sanitize the
result from prefix_filename() function in a few obvious ways,
e.g. removing unnecessary "./" prefix, duplicated slashes "//" in
the middle, etc.

Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.
The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".
If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.
Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added
to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file
change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.
However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).
This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.
One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).
A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.

When using word diff, the code sets the word_regex from various
defaults if it was not set already. The problem is that it does this
on the original diff_options, which will also be used in subsequent
diffs.
This means that when the word_regex is not given on the command line,
only the first diff for which a setting for word_regex (either from
attributes or diff.wordRegex) ever takes effect. This value then
propagates to the rest of the diff runs and in particular prevents
further attribute lookups.

with a _copy_ of the diff_options.

The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without
refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling
script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or
more of them). In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git"
header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches,
and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same
and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in
the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the
implementation to take the header that it already emitted back.
But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19)
introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a
strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual
changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore
whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the
header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was
a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning
applies to stat-dirty paths.
Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary
file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header
toggle. This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there
is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path
was renamed, without changing the contents. However, when it did so, it
still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the
plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes.
This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to
omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it
handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option.
The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test.

Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to

For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen

Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a

of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width>

If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal
window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width,
the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement
of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be
interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the
width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if

The way that available columns are divided between the filename part
and the graph part is modified to use as many columns as necessary for
the filenames and the rest for the graph.
If there isn't enough columns to print both the filename and the
graph, at least 5/8 of available space is devoted to filenames. On a
standard 80 column terminal, or if not connected to a terminal and
using the default of 80 columns, this gives the same partition as
before.
The effect of this change is visible in the patch to the test vector
in t4052; with a small change with long filename, it stops truncating
the name part too short, and also allocates a bit more columns to the
graph for larger changes.

Default to the real terminal width for diff --stat output, instead
of the hard-coded 80 columns.
Some projects (especially in Java), have long filename paths, with
nested directories or long individual filenames. When files are
renamed, the filename part in stat output can be almost useless. If
the middle part between { and } is long (because the file was moved to
a completely different directory), then most of the path would be
truncated.
It makes sense to detect and use the full terminal width and display
full filenames if possible.
The are commands like diff, show, and log, which can adapt the output
to the terminal width. There are also commands like format-patch,
whose output should be independent of the terminal width. Since it is
safer to use the 80-column default, the real terminal width is only
used if requested by the calling code by setting diffopts.stat_width=-1.
Normally this value is 0, and can be set by the user only to a
non-negative value, so -1 is safe to use internally.
This patch only changes the diff builtin to use the full terminal width.

Compute the length of the graph bars, using the same "non-zero changes is
shown with at least one column" scaling logic, but by scaling the sum of
additions and deletions to come up with the total length of the bar (this
ensures that two equal sized changes result in bars of the same length),
and then scaling the smaller of the additions or deletions. The other side
is computed as the difference between the two.
This makes the apportioning between additions and deletions less accurate
due to rounding errors, but it is much less noticeable than two files with
