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.

Ok this really should be the good version. The option
handling has been reworked to be automation safe.
Currently to import the -mm tree I have to work around
git-apply by using patch. Because some of Andrews
patches in quilt will only apply with fuzz.
I started out implementing a --fuzz option and then I realized
fuzz is not a very safe concept for an automated system. What
you really want is a minimum number of context lines that must
match. This allows policy to be set without knowing how many
lines of context a patch actually provides. By default
the policy remains to match all provided lines of context.
Allowng git-apply to match a restricted set of context makes
it much easier to import the -mm tree into git. I am still only
processing 1.5 to 1.6 patches a second for the 692 patches in
2.6.17-rc1-mm2 is still painful but it does help.
If I just loop through all of Andrews patches in order
and run git-apply --index -C1 I process the entire patchset
in 1m53s or about 6 patches per second. So running
git-mailinfo, git-write-tree, git-commit-tree, and
git-update-ref everytime has a measurable impact,
and shows things can be speeded up even more.
All of these timings were taking on my poor 700Mhz Athlon
with 512MB of ram. So people with fast machiens should
see much better performance.
When a match is found after the number of context are reduced a
warning is generated. Since this is a rare event and possibly
dangerous this seems to make sense. Unless you are patching
a single file the error message is a little bit terse at
the moment, but it should be easy to go back and fix.
I have also updated the documentation for git-apply to reflect
the new -C option that sets the minimum number of context
lines that must match.

This was triggered by me testing the "@@" numbering shorthand by GNU

showed than when git-apply mis-understood the number, it would then not
raise an alarm about it if the patch ended early.
Now, this doesn't actually _matter_, since with a three-line context, the
only case that "x,1" will be shorthanded to "x" is when x itself is 1 (in
which case git-apply got it right), but the fact that git-apply would also
silently accept truncated patches was a missed opportunity for additional
sanity-checking.

it similar to typical compiler error message format, and
helps C-x ` (next-error) in Emacs compilation buffer.
* --whitespace=error and --whitespace=warn do not stop at the
first error. We might want to limit the output to say first

This doesn't do the "strip-then-apply" thing, but it allows you to make
git-apply generate a warning or error on extraneous whitespace.
Use --whitespace=warn to warn, and (surprise, surprise) --whitespace=error
to make it a fatal error to have whitespace at the end.
Totally untested, of course. But it compiles, so it must be fine.
HOWEVER! Note that this literally will check every single patch-line with
"+" at the beginning. Which means that if you fix a simple typo, and the
line had a space at the end before, and you didn't remove it, that's still
considered a "new line with whitespace at the end", even though obviously
the line wasn't really new.
I assume this is what you wanted, and there isn't really any sane
alternatives (you could make the warning activate only for _pure_
additions with no deletions at all in that hunk, but that sounds a bit
insane).

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.

A meaningful (ie non-empty) git patch always has more information in the
header than just the "diff --git" line itself: it needs to have either a
patch associated with it (which implies "---" and "+++" lines in the
header) or it needs to have rename/copy/delete/create information in it.
Just ignore git patches which have no change information. Otherwise we'll
end up with a patch that doesn't have filenames etc filled in, and we'll
be unhappy.
Clearly even Junio felt git "rename" header lines should say "from/to"
instead of "old/new", since he wrote the documentation that way.
This way it also matches "copy".
git-apply will accept both versions, at least for a while.
It's not "rename from" and "rename to", it's "rename old" and "rename new".
Which is illogical and doesn't match the "copy from/to" case, but that's
life. Maybe Junio will fix it up one of these days.

Right now it requires that the fragment offsets be exact,
and it doesn't actually apply the fragment yet, but it
does find where it goes and verify the data.
Next step: actually applying the fragment changes.
It had already tried to do that, but with the independent
rounding of the number of '+' and '-' characters, it would
sometimes do 80-char lines after all.
The way broken deletes and creates are shown in the -p
(diff-patch) output format has become consistent with how
rename/copy edits are shown. They will show "dissimilarity
index" value, immediately following the "deleted file mode" and
"new file mode" lines.
The git-apply is taught to grok such an extended header.

Make it a clear two-phase thing: first a read-only parse of
the patch itself (which is independent of any current index
information), and then the second phase actually uses the patch.
The second phase might not be a real apply, it could be just a
diffstat, for example. Which is trivial to do once the patch is
parsed.
Not important but I am a bit annoyed by gcc complaining about the
control falling out of the function without returning value.

There's some duplication of filenames when doing filename operations
(creates, deletes, renames and copies), and this makes us verify that
the pathnames match when they should.
.. and print out the information. This sets up all the pathname
information, and whether it's a new file, deleted file, rename,
copy or whatever.
It's slowly getting to the point where it all comes together,
and we can actually apply all the information that we've gathered.
In particular, give line numbers when detecting corrupt patches.
This makes the tool a lot more friendly (indeed, much more so
than regular "patch", I think).
This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.
That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.
NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.
