dfb7728f63 diff.c: move line ending check into emit_hunk_header
The emit_hunk_header() function is responsible for assembling a
hunk header and calling emit_line() to send the hunk header
to the output file.  Its only caller fn_out_consume() needs
to prepare for a case where the function emits an incomplete
line and add the terminating LF.

Instead make sure emit_hunk_header() to always send a
completed line to emit_line().

23a9e0712d use xfopen() in more places
xfopen()

 - provides error details
 - explains error on reading, or writing, or whatever operation
 - has l10n support
 - prints file name in the error

Some of these are missing in the places that are replaced with xfopen(),
which is a clear win. In some other places, it's just less code (not as
clearly a win as the previous case but still is).

The only slight regresssion is in remote-testsvn, where we don't report
the file class (marks files) in the error messages anymore. But since
this is a _test_ svn remote transport, I'm not too concerned.

33de716387 diff: enable indent heuristic by default
The feature was included in v2.11 (released 2016-11-29) and we got no
negative feedback. Quite the opposite, all feedback we got was positive.

Turn it on by default. Users who dislike the feature can turn it off
by setting diff.indentHeuristic (which also configures plumbing commands,
see prior patches).

The change to t/t4051-diff-function-context.sh is needed because the
heuristic shifts the changed hunk in the patch.  To get the same result
regardless of the heuristic configuration, we modify the test file
differently:  We insert a completely new line after line 2, instead of
simply duplicating it.

cf5e77223a diff: make the indent heuristic part of diff's basic configuration
This heuristic was originally introduced as an experimental feature,
and therefore part of the UI configuration.

But the user often sees diffs generated by plumbing commands like
diff-tree.  Moving the indent heuristic into diff's basic configuration
prepares the way for diff plumbing commands to respect the setting.

The heuristic itself merely makes the diffs more aesthetically
pleasing, without changing their correctness.  Scripts that rely on
the diff plumbing commands should not care whether or not the heuristic
is employed.

977db6b4bf diff: avoid fixed-size buffer for patch-ids
To generate a patch id, we format the diff header into a
fixed-size buffer, and then feed the result to our sha1
computation. The fixed buffer has size '4*PATH_MAX + 20',
which in theory accommodates the four filenames plus some
extra data. Except:

  1. The filenames may not be constrained to PATH_MAX. The
     static value may not be a real limit on the current
     filesystem. Moreover, we may compute patch-ids for
     names stored only in git, without touching the current
     filesystem at all.

  2. The 20 bytes is not nearly enough to cover the
     extra content we put in the buffer.

As a result, the data we feed to the sha1 computation may be
truncated, and it's possible that a commit with a very long
filename could erroneously collide in the patch-id space
with another commit. For instance, if one commit modified
"really-long-filename/foo" and another modified "bar" in the
same directory.

In practice this is unlikely. Because the filenames are
repeated, and because there's a single cutoff at the end of
the buffer, the offending filename would have to be on the
order of four times larger than PATH_MAX.

We could fix this by moving to a strbuf. However, we can
observe that the purpose of formatting this in the first
place is to feed it to git_SHA1_Update(). So instead, let's
just feed each part of the formatted string directly. This
actually ends up more readable, and we can even factor out
some duplicated bits from the various conditional branches.

Technically this may change the output of patch-id for very
long filenames, but it's not worth making an exception for
this in the --stable output. It was a bug, and one that only
affected an unlikely set of paths.  And anyway, the exact
value would have varied from platform to platform depending
on the value of PATH_MAX, so there is no "stable" value.

dc01505f7f Convert GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ used for allocation to GIT_MAX_HEXSZ
Since we will likely be introducing a new hash function at some point,
and that hash function might be longer than 40 hex characters, use the
constant GIT_MAX_HEXSZ, which is designed to be suitable for
allocations, instead of GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ.  This will ease the transition
down the line by distinguishing between places where we need to allocate
memory suitable for the largest hash from those where we need to handle
the current hash.

e4da43b1f0 prefix_filename: return newly allocated string
The prefix_filename() function returns a pointer to static
storage, which makes it easy to use dangerously. We already
fixed one buggy caller in hash-object recently, and the
calls in apply.c are suspicious (I didn't dig in enough to
confirm that there is a bug, but we call the function once
in apply_all_patches() and then again indirectly from
parse_chunk()).

Let's make it harder to get wrong by allocating the return
value. For simplicity, we'll do this even when the prefix is
empty (and we could just return the original file pointer).
That will cause us to allocate sometimes when we wouldn't
otherwise need to, but this function isn't called in
performance critical code-paths (and it already _might_
allocate on any given call, so a caller that cares about
performance is questionable anyway).

The downside is that the callers need to remember to free()
the result to avoid leaking. Most of them already used
xstrdup() on the result, so we know they are OK. The
remainder have been converted to use free() as appropriate.

I considered retaining a prefix_filename_unsafe() for cases
where we know the static lifetime is OK (and handling the
cleanup is awkward). This is only a handful of cases,
though, and it's not worth the mental energy in worrying
about whether the "unsafe" variant is OK to use in any
situation.

116fb64e43 prefix_filename: drop length parameter
This function takes the prefix as a ptr/len pair, but in
every caller the length is exactly strlen(ptr). Let's
simplify the interface and just take the string. This saves
callers specifying it (and in some cases handling a NULL
prefix).

In a handful of cases we had the length already without
calling strlen, so this is technically slower. But it's not
likely to matter (after all, if the prefix is non-empty
we'll allocate and copy it into a buffer anyway).

12426e114b diff: do not short-cut CHECK_SIZE_ONLY check in diff_populate_filespec()
Callers of diff_populate_filespec() can choose to ask only for the
size of the blob without grabbing the blob data, and the function,
after running lstat() when the filespec points at a working tree
file, returns by copying the value in size field of the stat
structure into the size field of the filespec when this is the case.

However, this short-cut cannot be taken if the contents from the
path needs to go through convert_to_git(), whose resulting real blob
data may be different from what is in the working tree file.

As "git diff --quiet" compares the .size fields of filespec
structures to skip content comparison, this bug manifests as a
false "there are differences" for a file that needs eol conversion,
for example.

f5022b5fed diff: print line prefix for --name-only output
If you run "git log --graph --name-only", the pathnames are
not indented to go along with their matching commits (unlike
all of the other diff formats). We need to output the line
prefix for each item before writing it.

The tests cover both --name-status and --name-only. The
former actually gets this right already, because it builds
on the --raw format functions. It's only --name-only which
uses its own code (and this fix mirrors the code in
diff_flush_raw()).

Note that the tests don't follow our usual style of setting
up the "expect" output inside the test block. This matches
the surrounding style, but more importantly it is easier to
read: we don't have to worry about embedded single-quotes,
and the leading indentation is more obvious.

resulting code is shorter and easier to read.

The two cases were not transformed by the semantic patch swap.cocci
because it's extra careful and handles only cases where the types of all
variables are the same -- and here we swap two ints and use an unsigned
temporary variable for that.  Nevertheless the conversion is safe, as
the value range is preserved with and without the patch.

3cde4e02ee diff: retire "compaction" heuristics
When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the
same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block,
"git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the
boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the
end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants
of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others.

We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git
2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic".  Since
then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new
"indent-heuristic" logic.  It is agreed that the latter gives better
result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness.

Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature.
The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future
release, but that should be done as a separate step.

43d1948b7b diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index case
There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.

setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)

Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.

The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

4f03666ac6 diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository
When generating diffs outside a repository (e.g., with "diff
--no-index"), we may write abbreviated sha1s as part of
"--raw" output or the "index" lines of "--patch" output.
Since we have no object database, we never find any
collisions, and these sha1s get whatever static abbreviation
length is configured (typically 7).

However, we do blindly look in ".git/objects" to see if any
objects exist, even though we know we are not in a
repository. This is usually harmless because such a
directory is unlikely to exist, but could be wrong in rare
circumstances.

Let's instead notice when we are not in a repository and
behave as if the object database is empty (i.e., just use
the default abbrev length). It would perhaps make sense to
be conservative and show full sha1s in that case, but
showing the default abbreviation is what we've always done
(and is certainly less ugly).

Note that this does mean that:

  cd /not/a/repo
  GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY=/some/real/objdir git diff --no-index ...

used to look for collisions in /some/real/objdir but now
does not. This could be considered either a bugfix (we do
not look at objects if we have no repository) or a
regression, but it seems unlikely that anybody would care
much either way.

7b5b7721af abbrev: prepare for new world order
The code that sets custom abbreviation length, in response to
command line argument, often does something like this:

	if (skip_prefix(arg, "--abbrev=", &arg))
		abbrev = atoi(arg);
	else if (!strcmp("--abbrev", &arg))
		abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
	/* make the value sane */
	if (abbrev < 0 || 40 < abbrev)
		abbrev = ... some sane value ...

However, it is pointless to sanity-check and tweak the value
obtained from DEFAULT_ABBREV.  We are going to allow it to be
initially set to -1 to signal that the default abbreviation length
must be auto sized upon the first request to abbreviate, based on
the number of objects in the repository, and when that happens,
rejecting or tweaking a negative value to a "saner" one will
negatively interfere with the auto sizing.  The codepaths for

    git rev-parse --short <object>
    git diff --raw --abbrev

do exactly that; allow them to pass possibly negative abbrevs
intact, that will come from DEFAULT_ABBREV in the future.

It would be conceivable to introduce separate configuration options for

output is inconsistent with diff output, so it makes more sense for them

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.

ca9b37e5a8 diff: remove dead code
When `len < 1`, len has to be 0 or negative, emit_line will then remove the
first character and by then `len` would be negative. As this doesn't
happen, it is safe to assume it is dead code.

This continues to simplify the code, which was started in b8d9c1a66b
(2009-09-03,  diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file
comparison).

660e113ce1 graph: add support for --line-prefix on all graph-aware output
Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware
displayable output) such that "--line-prefix=<string>" will print the
additional line-prefix on every line of output.

To make this work, we have to fix a few bugs in the graph API that force
graph_show_commit_msg to be used only when you have a valid graph.
Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work
even when no graph is enabled.

This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.

This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which
displays the submodule diff as the actual diff between the pre and post
commit in the submodule project.

Add some tests for both git-log and git-diff to ensure that the prefix
is honored correctly.

cd48dadb8d diff.c: remove output_prefix_length field
"diff/log --stat" has a logic that determines the display columns
available for the diffstat part of the output and apportions it for
pathnames and diffstat graph automatically.

5e71a84a (Add output_prefix_length to diff_options, 2012-04-16)
added the output_prefix_length field to diff_options structure to
allow this logic to subtract the display columns used for the
history graph part from the total "terminal width"; this matters
when the "git log --graph -p" option is in use.

The field must be set to the number of display columns needed to
show the output from the output_prefix() callback, which is error
prone.  As there is only one user of the field, and the user has the
actual value of the prefix string, let's get rid of the field and
have the user count the display width itself.

06dec439a3 diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversion
When accessing a blob for a diff, we may try to reuse file
contents in the working tree, under the theory that it is
faster to mmap those file contents than it would be to
extract the content from the object database.

When we have to filter those contents, though, that
assumption does not hold. Even for our internal conversions
like CRLF, we have to allocate and fill a new buffer anyway.
But much worse, for external clean filters we have to exec
an arbitrary script, and we have no idea how expensive it
may be to run.

So let's skip this optimization when conversion into git's
"clean" form is required. This applies whenever the
"want_file" flag is false. When it's true, the caller
actually wants the smudged worktree contents, which the
reused file by definition already has (in fact, this is a
key optimization going the other direction, since reusing
the worktree file there lets us skip smudge filters).

f449198e58 coccinelle: convert hashcpy() with null_sha1 to hashclr()
hashcpy with null_sha1 as the source is equivalent to hashclr.  In
addition to being simpler, using hashclr may give the compiler a chance
to optimize better.  Convert instances of hashcpy with the source
argument of null_sha1 to hashclr.

This transformation was implemented using the following semantic patch:

@@
expression E1;
@@
-hashcpy(E1, null_sha1);
+hashclr(E1);

afc676f2c9 diff: do not color output when --color=auto and --output=<file> is given
"git diff --output=<file> --color=auto" used to show the ANSI color
sequence in the resulting file when the standard output is connected
to a terminal, because --color=auto check always checks the standard
output, not the actual file that receives the output.

We could correct this by using freopen(3) to redirect the standard
output to the specified file, which is in like with how format-patch
used to match the world order, but following the same reasoning as
the earlier "format-patch: explicitly switch off color when writing
to files", let's be more strict by bypassing the "auto" check when
the --output=<file> option is in use.

Strictly speaking, this is a backwards-incompatible change, but
it is highly unlikely that any user would want to see ANSI color
sequences in a file.

The reason this was not caught earlier is most likely that either
--output=<file> is not used, or only when stdout is redirected
anyway.

Users can still give --color=always if they want a colored diff in
the resulting file.

5580b271af diff: disable compaction heuristic for now
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160610075043.GA13411@sigill.intra.peff.net
reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending
with the existing one at the end of the file is shown like this:

    def foo
      do_foo_stuff()

   +  common_ending()
   +end
   +
   +def bar
   +  do_bar_stuff()
   +
      common_ending()
    end

when the new heuristic is in use.  In reality, the change is to add
the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what
the code without the new heuristic shows.

Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation
for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly
marking the feature as still experimental.

d634d61ed6 xdiff: implement empty line chunk heuristic
In order to produce the smallest possible diff and combine several diff
hunks together, we implement a heuristic from GNU Diff which moves diff
hunks forward as far as possible when we find common context above and
below a diff hunk. This sometimes produces less readable diffs when
writing C, Shell, or other programming languages, ie:

...
 /*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
+/*
...

instead of the more readable equivalent of

...
+/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
 /*
...

Implement the following heuristic to (optionally) produce the desired
output.

  If there are diff chunks which can be shifted around, shift each hunk
  such that the last common empty line is below the chunk with the rest
  of the context above.

This heuristic appears to resolve the above example and several other
common issues without producing significantly weird results. However, as
with any heuristic it is not really known whether this will always be
more optimal. Thus, it can be disabled via diff.compactionHeuristic.
