Remove the dummy discard_hunk_line() function added in
3b40a090fd (diff: avoid generating unused hunk header lines,
2018-11-02) in favor of having a new XDL_EMIT_NO_HUNK_HDR flag, for
use along with the two existing and similar XDL_EMIT_* flags.
Unlike the recently amended xdiff_emit_line_fn interface which'll be
called in a loop in xdl_emit_diff(), the hunk header is only emitted
once.
It makes more sense to pass this as a flag than provide a dummy
callback because that function may be able to skip doing certain work
if it knows the caller is doing nothing with the hunk header.
It would be possible to do so in the case of -U0 now, but the benefit
of doing so is so small that I haven't bothered. But this leaves the
door open to that, and more importantly makes the API use more
intuitive.
The reason we're putting a flag in the gap between 1<<0 and 1<<2 is
that the old 1<<1 flag was removed in 907681e940 (xdiff: drop
XDL_EMIT_COMMON, 2016-02-23) without re-ordering the remaining flags.

If find_word_boundaries() encounters a zero length match (which can be
caused by matching a newline or using '*' instead of '+' in the regex)
we stop splitting the input into words which generates an inaccurate
diff. To fix this increment the start point when there is a zero
length match and try a new match. This is safe as posix regular
expressions always return the longest available match so a zero length
match means there are no longer matches available from the current
position.
Commit bf82940dbf (color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user,
2009-01-17) prevented matching newlines in negated character classes
but it is still possible for the user to have an explicit newline
match in the regex which could cause a zero length match.
One could argue that having explicit newline matches or using '*'
rather than '+' are user errors but it seems to be better to work
round them than produce inaccurate diffs.

"git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=<path>" allows the user to
discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the
output.
* jc/diffcore-rotate:
diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=<path>
In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.
- "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is
no patch for C is shown.
- "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no
patch for C is shown.
- "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the
set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

Fix a memory leak in 296d4a94e7 (diff: add -I<regex> that ignores
matching changes, 2020-10-20) by freeing the memory it allocates in
the newly introduced diff_free(). See the previous commit for details
on that.
This memory leak was intentionally introduced in 296d4a94e7, see the
discussion on a previous iteration of it in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqeelycajx.fsf@gitster.c.googlers.com/
At that time freeing the memory was somewhat tedious, but since it
isn't anymore with the newly introduced diff_free() let's use it.
Let's retain the pattern for diff_free_file() and add a
diff_free_ignore_regex(), even though (unlike "diff_free_file") we
don't need to call it elsewhere. I think this'll make for more
readable code than gradually accumulating a giant diff_free()
function, sharing "int i" across unrelated code etc.

Add a diff_free() function to free anything we may have allocated in
the "diff_options" struct, and the ability to make calling it a noop
by setting "no_free" in "diff_options".
This is required because when e.g. "git diff" is run we'll allocate
things in that struct, use the diff machinery once, and then exit.
But if we run e.g. "git log -p" we're going to re-use what we
allocated across multiple diff_flush() calls, and only want to free
things at the end.
We've thus ended up with features like the recently added "diff -I"[1]
where we'll leak memory. As it turns out it could have simply used the
pattern established in 6ea57703f6 (log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse
the diffopt.close_file attribute, 2016-06-22).
Manually adding more such flags to things log_tree_commit() every time
we need to allocate something would be tedious. Let's instead move
that fclose() code it to a new diff_free(), in anticipation of freeing
more things in that function in follow-up commits.
Some functions such as log_tree_commit() need an idiom of optionally
retaining a previous "no_free", as they may either free the memory
themselves, or their caller may do so. I'm keeping that idiom in
log_show_early() for good measure, even though I don't think it's
currently called in this manner. It also gets passed an existing
"struct rev_info", so future callers may want to set the "no_free"
flag.
This change is a bit hard to read because while the freeing pattern
we're introducing isn't unusual, the "file" member is a special
snowflake. We usually don't want to fclose() it. This is because
"file" is usually stdout, in which case we don't want to fclose()
it. We only want to opt-in to closing it when we e.g. open a file on
the filesystem. Thus the opt-in "close_file" flag.
So the API in general just needs a "no_free" flag to defer freeing,
but the "file" member still needs its "close_file" flag. This is made
more confusing because while refactoring this code we could replace
some "close_file=0" with "no_free=1", whereas others need to set both
flags.
This is because there were some cases where an existing "close_file=0"
meant "let's defer deallocation", and others where it meant "we don't
want to close this file handle at all".

Git diff reports a submodule directory as -dirty even when there are

with what `git describe --dirty` says when run in the submodule
directory in that state.
Make `--ignore-submodules=untracked` the default for `git diff` when
there is no configuration variable or command line option, so that the
command would not give '-dirty' suffix to a submodule whose working
tree has untracked files, to make it consistent with `git
describe --dirty` that is run in the submodule working tree.
And also make `--ignore-submodules=none` the default for `git status`

Add a new diff option that enables ignoring changes whose all lines
(changed, removed, and added) match a given regular expression. This is
similar to the -I/--ignore-matching-lines option in standalone diff
utilities and can be used e.g. to ignore changes which only affect code
comments or to look for unrelated changes in commits containing a large
number of automatically applied modifications (e.g. a tree-wide string
replacement). The difference between -G/-S and the new -I option is
that the latter filters output on a per-change basis.
Use the 'ignore' field of xdchange_t for marking a change as ignored or
not. Since the same field is used by --ignore-blank-lines, identical
hunk emitting rules apply for --ignore-blank-lines and -I. These two
options can also be used together in the same git invocation (they are
complementary to each other).

diff-tree header lines, without any options to customise the length of
object names in diff-patch format. When working with diff-patch format,
we only have two options, either full index, or default abbrev length.
Although, that behaviour is documented, it doesn't stop users from
trying to use `--abbrev' with the hope of customising diff-patch's
objects' name's abbreviation.
Let's allow the blob object names shown on the "index" line to be

Whitespace is ignored when calculating patch IDs. This is done by
removing all whitespace from diff lines before hashing them, including
a newline at the end of a file. If that newline is missing, however,
diff reports that fact in a separate line containing "\ No newline at
end of file\n", and this marker is hashed like a context line.
This goes against our goal of making patch IDs independent of
whitespace. Use the same heuristic that 2485eab55c (git-patch-id: do
not trip over "no newline" markers, 2011-02-17) added to git patch-id
instead and skip diff lines that start with a backslash and a space

Reduce memory usage during "diff --quiet" in a worktree with too
many stat-unmatched paths.
* jk/diff-memuse-optim-with-stat-unmatch:
diff: discard blob data from stat-unmatched pairs
When performing a tree-level diff against the working tree, we may find
that our index stat information is dirty, so we queue a filepair to be
examined later. If the actual content hasn't changed, we call this a
stat-unmatch; the stat information was out of date, but there's no
actual diff. Normally diffcore_std() would detect and remove these
identical filepairs via diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(). However, when
"--quiet" is used, we want to stop the diff as soon as we see any
changes, so we check for stat-unmatches immediately in diff_change().
That check may require us to actually load the file contents into the
pair of diff_filespecs. If we find that the pair isn't a stat-unmatch,
then no big deal; we'd likely load the contents later anyway to generate
a patch, do rename detection, etc, so we want to hold on to it. But if
it is a stat-unmatch, then we have no more use for that data; the whole
point is that we're going discard the pair. However, we never free the
allocated diff_filespec data.
In most cases, keeping that data isn't a problem. We don't expect a lot
of stat-unmatch entries, and since we're using --quiet, we'd quit as
soon as we saw such a real change anyway. However, there are extreme
cases where it makes a big difference:
1. We'd generally mmap() the working tree half of the pair. And since
the OS may limit the total number of maps, we can run afoul of this
in large repositories. E.g.:
$ cd linux
$ git ls-files | wc -l
67959
$ sysctl vm.max_map_count
vm.max_map_count = 65530
$ git ls-files | xargs touch ;# everything is stat-dirty!
$ git diff --quiet
fatal: mmap failed: Cannot allocate memory
It should be unusual to have so many files stat-dirty, but it's
possible if you've just run a script like "sed -i" or similar.
After this patch, the above correctly exits with code 0.
2. Even if you don't hit mmap limits, the index half of the pair will
have been pulled from the object database into heap memory. Again
in a clone of linux.git, running:
$ git ls-files | head -n 10000 | xargs touch
$ git diff --quiet
peaks at 145MB heap before this patch, and 94MB after.
This patch solves the problem by freeing any diff_filespec data we
picked up during the "--quiet" stat-unmatch check in diff_changes.
Nobody is going to need that data later, so there's no point holding on
to it. There are a few things to note:
- we could skip queueing the pair entirely, which could in theory save
a little work. But there's not much to save, as we need a
diff_filepair to feed to diff_filespec_check_stat_unmatch() anyway.
And since we cache the result of the stat-unmatch checks, a later
call to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() call will quickly skip over
them. The diffcore code also counts up the number of stat-unmatched
pairs as it removes them. It's doubtful any callers would care about
that in combination with --quiet, but we'd have to reimplement the
logic here to be on the safe side. So it's not really worth the
trouble.
- I didn't write a test, because we always produce the correct output
unless we run up against system mmap limits, which are both
unportable and expensive to test against. Measuring peak heap
would be interesting, but our perf suite isn't yet capable of that.
- note that diff without "--quiet" does not suffer from the same
problem. In diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), we detect the stat-unmatch
entries and drop them immediately, so we're not carrying their data
around.
- you _can_ still trigger the mmap limit problem if you truly have
that many files with actual changes. But it's rather unlikely. The
stat-unmatch check avoids loading the file contents if the sizes
don't match, so you'd need a pretty trivial change in every single
file. Likewise, inexact rename detection might load the data for
many files all at once. But you'd need not just 64k changes, but
that many deletions and additions. The most likely candidate is
perhaps break-detection, which would load the data for all pairs and
keep it around for the content-level diff. But again, you'd need 64k
actually changed files in the first place.
So it's still possible to trigger this case, but it seems like "I
accidentally made all my files stat-dirty" is the most likely case
in the real world.

The `diff.relative` boolean option set to `true` shows only changes in
the current directory/value specified by the `path` argument of the
`relative` option and shows pathnames relative to the aforementioned
directory.
Teach `--no-relative` to override earlier `--relative`
Add for git-format-patch(1) options documentation `--relative` and

"git diff" in a partial clone learned to avoid lazy loading blob
objects in more casese when they are not needed.
* jt/avoid-prefetch-when-able-in-diff:
diff: restrict when prefetching occurs
diff: refactor object read
diff: make diff_populate_filespec_options struct
promisor-remote: accept 0 as oid_nr in function
Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08)
optimized "diff" by prefetching blobs in a partial clone, but there are
some cases wherein blobs do not need to be prefetched. In these cases,
any command that uses the diff machinery will unnecessarily fetch blobs.
diffcore_std() may read blobs when it calls the following functions:
(1) diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() (controlled by the config variable
diff.autorefreshindex)
(2) diffcore_break() and diffcore_merge_broken() (for break-rewrite
detection)
(3) diffcore_rename() (for rename detection)
(4) diffcore_pickaxe() (for detecting addition/deletion of specified
string)
Instead of always prefetching blobs, teach diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
diffcore_break(), and diffcore_rename() to prefetch blobs upon the first
read of a missing object. This covers (1), (2), and (3): to cover the
rest, teach diffcore_std() to prefetch if the output type is one that
includes blob data (and hence blob data will be required later anyway),
or if it knows that (4) will be run.

There are 3 callers to promisor_remote_get_direct() that first check if
the number of objects to be fetched is equal to 0. Fold that check into
promisor_remote_get_direct(), and in doing so, be explicit as to what
promisor_remote_get_direct() does if oid_nr is 0 (it returns 0, success,
immediately).

Now that we have the codebase wired up to pass any additional metadata
to filters, let's collect the additional metadata that we'd like to
pass.
The two main places we pass this metadata are checkouts and archives.
In these two situations, reading HEAD isn't a valid option, since HEAD
isn't updated for checkouts until after the working tree is written and
archives can accept an arbitrary tree. In other situations, HEAD will
usually reflect the refname of the branch in current use.
We pass a smaller amount of data in other cases, such as git cat-file,
where we can really only logically know about the blob.
This commit updates only the parts of the checkout code where we don't
use unpack_trees. That function and callers of it will be handled in a
future commit.
In the archive code, we leak a small amount of memory, since nothing we
pass in the archiver argument structure is freed.

There are a variety of situations where a filter process can make use of
some additional metadata. For example, some people find the ident
filter too limiting and would like to include the commit or the branch
in their smudged files. This information isn't available during
checkout as HEAD hasn't been updated at that point, and it wouldn't be
available in archives either.
Let's add a way to pass this metadata down to the filter. We pass the
blob we're operating on, the treeish (preferring the commit over the
tree if one exists), and the ref we're operating on. Note that we won't
pass this information in all cases, such as when renormalizing or when
we're performing diffs, since it doesn't make sense in those cases.
The data we currently get from the filter process looks like the
following:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
0000
With this change, we'll get data more like this:
command=smudge
pathname=git.c
refname=refs/tags/v2.25.1
treeish=c522f061d551c9bb8684a7c3859b2ece4499b56b
blob=7be7ad34bd053884ec48923706e70c81719a8660
0000
There are a couple things to note about this approach. For operations
like checkout, treeish will always be a commit, since we cannot check
out individual trees, but for other operations, like archive, we can end
up operating on only a particular tree, so we'll provide only a tree as
the treeish. Similar comments apply for refname, since there are a
variety of cases in which we won't have a ref.
This commit wires up the code to print this information, but doesn't
pass any of it at this point. In a future commit, we'll have various
code paths pass the actual useful data down.

Some codepaths were given a repository instance as a parameter to
work in the repository, but passed the_repository instance to its
callees, which has been cleaned up (somewhat).
* mt/use-passed-repo-more-in-funcs:
sha1-file: allow check_object_signature() to handle any repo
sha1-file: pass git_hash_algo to hash_object_file()
sha1-file: pass git_hash_algo to write_object_file_prepare()
streaming: allow open_istream() to handle any repo
pack-check: use given repo's hash_algo at verify_packfile()
cache-tree: use given repo's hash_algo at verify_one()
diff: make diff_populate_filespec() honor its repo argument
We parse diff.wsErrorHighlight in git_diff_ui_config(), meaning that it
doesn't take effect for plumbing commands, only for porcelains like
git-diff itself. This is mildly annoying as it means scripts like
add--interactive, which produce a user-visible diff with color, don't
respect the option.
We could teach that script to parse the config and pass it along as
--ws-error-highlight to the diff plumbing. But there's a simpler
solution.
It should be reasonably safe for plumbing to respect this option, as it
only kicks in when color is otherwise enabled. And anybody parsing
colorized output must already deal with the fact that color.diff.* may
change the exact output they see; those options have been part of
git_diff_basic_config() since its inception in 9a1805a872 (add a "basic"
diff config callback, 2008-01-04).
So we can just move it to the "basic" config, which fixes
add--interactive, along with any other script in the same boat, with a
very low risk of hurting any plumbing users.
