Failures within `for` and `while` loops can go unnoticed if not detected
and signaled manually since the loop itself does not abort when a
contained command fails, nor will a failure necessarily be detected when
the loop finishes since the loop returns the exit code of the last
command it ran on the final iteration, which may not be the command
which failed. Therefore, detect and signal failures manually within
loops using the idiom `|| return 1` (or `|| exit 1` within subshells).

Performance optimization work on the rename detection continues.

diffcore-rename: no point trying to find a match better than exact
Make use of the new find_basename_matches() function added in the last
two patches, to find renames more rapidly in cases where we can match up
files based on basenames. As a quick reminder (see the last two commit
messages for more details), this means for example that
docs/extensions.txt and docs/config/extensions.txt are considered likely
renames if there are no remaining 'extensions.txt' files elsewhere among
the added and deleted files, and if a similarity check confirms they are
similar, then they are marked as a rename without looking for a better
similarity match among other files. This is a behavioral change, as
covered in more detail in the previous commit message.
We do not use this heuristic together with either break or copy
detection. The point of break detection is to say that filename
similarity does not imply file content similarity, and we only want to
know about file content similarity. The point of copy detection is to
use more resources to check for additional similarities, while this is
an optimization that uses far less resources but which might also result
in finding slightly fewer similarities. So the idea behind this
optimization goes against both of those features, and will be turned off
for both.
For the testcases mentioned in commit 557ac0350d ("merge-ort: begin
performance work; instrument with trace2_region_* calls", 2020-10-28),
this change improves the performance as follows:

Add a simple test where a removed file is similar to two different added
files; one of them has the same basename, and the other has a slightly
higher content similarity. In the current test, content similarity is
weighted higher than filename similarity.
Subsequent commits will add a new rule that weighs a mixture of filename
similarity and content similarity in a manner that will change the

If you do something like
- git add .
- git status
- git commit
- git show (or git diff HEAD)
one would expect to have analogous output from git status and git show
(or similar diff-related programs). This is generally not the case, as
git status has hard coded values for diff related options.
With this commit the hard coded settings are dropped from the status
command in favour for values provided by git_diff_ui_config.
What follows are some remarks on the concrete options which were hard
coded in git status:
diffopt.detect_rename
Since the very beginning of git status in a3e870f2e2 ("Add "commit"
helper script", 2005-05-30), git status always used rename detection,
whereas with commands like show and log one had to activate it with a
command line option. After 5404c116aa ("diff: activate diff.renames by
default", 2016-02-25) the default behaves the same by coincidence, but
changing diff.renames to other values can break the consistency between
git status and other commands again. With this commit one control the
same default behaviour with diff.renames.
diffopt.rename_limit
Similarly one has the option diff.renamelimit to adjust this limit for
all commands but git status. With this commit git status will also honor
those.
diffopt.break_opt
Unlike the other two options this cannot be configured by a
configuration option yet. This commit will also change the default
behaviour to not use break rewrites. But as rename detection is most
likely on, this is dangerous to be activated anyway as one can see
here:

The primary purpose of three tests in 't4001-diff-rename.sh' is to
check rename detection in 'git status', but all three do so by running
'git status' upstream of a pipe, hiding its exit code. Consequently,
the test could continue even if 'git status' exited with error.
Use an intermediate file between 'git status' and 'test_i18ngrep' to
catch a potential failure of the former.

In the documentation of diff-tree, it is stated that the -l option
"prevents rename/copy detection from running if the number of
rename/copy targets exceeds the specified number". The documentation
does not mention any special handling for the number 0, but the
implementation before commit 9f7e4bfa3b ("diff: remove silent clamp of
renameLimit", 2017-11-13) treated 0 as a special value indicating that
the rename limit is to be a very large number instead.
The commit 9f7e4bfa3b changed that behavior, treating 0 as 0. Revert
this behavior to what it was previously. This allows existing scripts
and tools that use "-l0" to continue working. The alternative (to have
"-l0" suppress rename detection) is probably much less useful, since
users can just refrain from specifying -M and/or -C to have the same
effect.

"git diff -M" used to work better when two originally identical
files A and B got renamed to X/A and X/B by pairing A to X/A and B
to X/B, but this was broken in the 2.0 timeframe.
* sg/diff-multiple-identical-renames:
diffcore: fix iteration order of identical files during rename detection
If the two paths 'dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' have identical content
and the parent directory is renamed, e.g. 'git mv dir other-dir', then
diffcore reports the following exact renames:
renamed: dir/B/file -> other-dir/A/file
renamed: dir/A/file -> other-dir/B/file
While technically not wrong, this is confusing not only for the user,
but also for git commands that make decisions based on rename
information, e.g. 'git log --follow other-dir/A/file' follows
'dir/B/file' past the rename.
This behavior is a side effect of commit v2.0.0-rc4~8^2~14
(diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames, 2013-11-14): the
hashmap storing sources returns entries from the same bucket, i.e.
sources matching the current destination, in LIFO order. Thus the
iteration first examines 'other-dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' and, upon
finding identical content and basename, reports an exact rename.
Other hashmap users are apparently happy with the current iteration
order over the entries of a bucket. Changing the iteration order
would risk upsetting other hashmap users and would increase the memory
footprint of each bucket by a pointer to the tail element.
Fill the hashmap with source entries in reverse order to restore the
original exact rename detection behavior.

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory
that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their
test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect". This will
break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere.
To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can
refer to t/ directory reliably. This finally makes all the tests use
it to refer to the outside environment.

contradict with what Dscho really wants to do):

The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names
shown by `diff -p' are /really/ nice. And I hate having to choose. So,
we hack xdiff to find the function names and print them.
xdiff has grown a flag to say whether to dig up the function names. The
builtin_diff function passes this flag unconditionally. I suppose it
could parse GIT_DIFF_OPTS, but it doesn't at the moment. I've also
reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was
removed in commit 3ce8f089.
The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the
moment: it just tries to find a line in the `old' file, from before the
start of the hunk, whose first character looks plausible. Still, it's
most definitely a start.

- Honor GIT_DIFF_OPTS minimally (only -u<number> and

- Omit line count of 1 from "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" hunk header

As promised, this is the "big tool rename" patch. The primary differences
since 0.99.6 are:
(1) git-*-script are no more. The commands installed do not
have any such suffix so users do not have to remember if
something is implemented as a shell script or not.
(2) Many command names with 'cache' in them are renamed with
'index' if that is what they mean.
There are backward compatibility symblic links so that you and
Porcelains can keep using the old names, but the backward
compatibility support is expected to be removed in the near

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.
This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

Add '-R' flag to diff-tree, and change the test subdirectory
shell files to be executable (something that Junio couldn't
get me to do through the pure patch with my current patch
handling infrastructure).
This cleans up the way calls are made into the diff core from diff-tree
family and diff-helper. Earlier, these programs had "if
(generating_patch)" sprinkled all over the place, but those ugliness are
gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating
patch format.
This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R
(reverse) option to generate diff in reverse. Users of
diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit
diff" doesn't have another tree to switch around: the other
tree is always the parent(s) of the commit ]

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').
Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.
This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of

core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.
