430be36eb5 range-diff: suppress line count in outer diff
The line count in the outer diff's hunk headers of a range diff is not
all that interesting.  It merely shows how far along the inner diff
are on both sides.  That number is of no use for human readers, and
range-diffs are not meant to be machine readable.

In a subsequent commit we're going to add some more contextual
information such as the filename corresponding to the diff to the hunk
headers.  Remove the unnecessary information, and just keep the "@@"
to indicate that a new hunk of the outer diff is starting.

7f125ff909 diff-parseopt: correct variable types that are used by parseopt
Most number-related OPT_ macros store the value in an 'int'
variable. Many of the variables in 'struct diff_options' have a
different type, but during the conversion to using parse_options() I
failed to notice and correct.

The problem was reported on s360x which is a big-endian
architechture. The variable to store '-w' option in this case is
xdl_opts, 'long' type, 8 bytes. But since parse_options() assumes
'int' (4 bytes), it will store bits in the wrong part of xdl_opts. The
problem was found on little-endian platforms because parse_options()
will accidentally store at the right part of xdl_opts.

There aren't much to say about the type change (except that 'int' for
xdl_opts should still be big enough, since Windows' long is the same
size as 'int' and nobody has complained so far). Some safety checks may
be implemented in the future to prevent class of bugs.

a8f6855f48 format-patch: make --base patch-id output stable
We weren't flushing the context each time we processed a hunk in the
patch-id generation code in diff.c, but we were doing that when we
generated "stable" patch-ids with the 'patch-id' tool. Let's port that
similar logic over from patch-id.c into diff.c so we can get the same
hash when we're generating patch-ids for 'format-patch --base=' types of
command invocations.

cdb5330a9b am: avoid diff_opt_parse()
diff_opt_parse() is a heavy hammer to just set diff filter. But it's
the only way because of the diff_status_letters[] mapping. Add a new
API to set diff filter and use it in git-am. diff_opt_parse()'s only
remaining call site in revision.c will be gone soon and having it here
just because of git-am does not make sense.

287ab28bfa diff: reuse diff setup for --no-index case
When "--no-index" is in effect (or implied by the arguments), git-diff
jumps early to a special code path to perform that diff. This means we
miss out on some settings like enabling --ext-diff and --textconv by
default.

Let's jump to the no-index path _after_ we've done more setup on
rev.diffopt. Since some of the options don't affect us (e.g., items
related to the index), let's re-order the setup into two blocks (see the
in-code comments).

Note that we also need to stop re-initializing the diffopt struct in
diff_no_index(). This should not be necessary, as it will already have
been initialized by cmd_diff() (and there are no other callers). That in
turn lets us drop the "repository" argument from diff_no_index (which
never made much sense, since the whole point is that you don't need a
repository).

d76ce4f734 log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option
The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if
rename or copy detection is active.  For example, with raw format one
might see:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	describe.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	phooey.c

This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the
first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names
of phooey.c were in either of the parents.  In contrast, for non-merge
commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score
to boot).  In order to also provide original filenames for merge
commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with
either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy
detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when
renames are involved.  This transforms the above output to:

  ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM	desc.c	desc.c	desc.c
  ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM	foo.sh	bar.sh	bar.sh
  ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR	fooey.c	fuey.c	phooey.c

Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that
instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.
For example, instead of having

  --- a/phooey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

we would see

  --- a/fooey.c
  --- a/fuey.c
  +++ b/phooey.c

4a28847839 diff.c: prepare to use parse_options() for parsing
This is a preparation step to start using parse_options() to parse
diff/revision options instead of what we have now. There are a couple
of good things from using parse_options():

- better help usage
- easier to add new options
- better completion support
- help usage generation
- better integration with main command option parser. We can just
  concat the main command's option array and diffopt's together and
  parse all in one go.
- detect colidding options (e.g. --reverse is used by revision code,
  so diff code can't use it as long name for -R)
- consistent syntax, e.g. option that takes mandatory argument will
  now accept both "--option=value" and "--option value".

The plan is migrate all diff/rev options to parse_options(). Then we
could get rid of diff_opt_parse() and expose parseopts[] directly to
the caller.

2b393ef357 diff.h: avoid bit fields in struct diff_flags
Bitfield addresses cannot be passed around in a pointer. This makes it
hard to use parse-options to set/unset them. Turn this struct to
normal integers. This of course increases the size of this struct
multiple times, but since we only have a handful of diff_options
variables around, memory consumption is not at all a concern.

d173e799ea diff: align move detection error handling with other options
This changes the error handling for the options --color-moved-ws
and --color-moved-ws to be like the rest of the options.

Move the die() call out of parse_color_moved_ws into the parsing
of command line options. As the function returns a bit field, change
its signature to return an unsigned instead of an int; add a new bit
to signal errors. Once the error is signaled, we discard the other
bits, such that it doesn't matter if the error bit overlaps with any
other bit.

read_index() should be avoided (in addition to the_index) because it
uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This
effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to
pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c. Let's keep the dependencies as
few as possible and kick it back to diff-tree.c

a7be92acd9 range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color mode
It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it
to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer"
diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the
old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something
different than the old diff.

To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced
the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff,
i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are
colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored
according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be
colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first
commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old"
commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit).

However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough,
as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color
according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored
differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is
easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color).

Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use
green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the
lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines
that are only in the new commit.

That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are
looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch
series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the
obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be
bold.

At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs
that way.

f7c3b4e2d8 diff: add an internal option to dual-color diffs of diffs
When diffing diffs, it can be quite daunting to figure out what the heck
is going on, as there are nested +/- signs.

Let's make this easier by adding a flag in diff_options that allows
color-coding the outer diff sign with inverted colors, so that the
preimage and postimage is colored like the diff it is.

Of course, this really only makes sense when the preimage and postimage
*are* diffs. So let's not expose this flag via a command-line option for
now.

This is a feature that was invented by git-tbdiff, and it will be used
by `git range-diff` in the next commit, by offering it via a new option:
`--dual-color`.

ca1f4ae4df diff.c: add white space mode to move detection that allows indent changes
The option of --color-moved has proven to be useful as observed on the
mailing list. However when refactoring sometimes the indentation changes,
for example when partitioning a functions into smaller helper functions
the code usually mostly moved around except for a decrease in indentation.

To just review the moved code ignoring the change in indentation, a mode
to ignore spaces in the move detection as implemented in a previous patch
would be enough.  However the whole move coloring as motivated in commit
2e2d5ac (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30), brought
up the notion of the reviewer being able to trust the move of a "block".

As there are languages such as python, which depend on proper relative
indentation for the control flow of the program, ignoring any white space
change in a block would not uphold the promises of 2e2d5ac that allows
reviewers to pay less attention to the inside of a block, as inside
the reviewer wants to assume the same program flow.

This new mode of white space ignorance will take this into account and will
only allow the same white space changes per line in each block. This patch
even allows only for the same change at the beginning of the lines.

As this is a white space mode, it is made exclusive to other white space
modes in the move detection.

This patch brings some challenges, related to the detection of blocks.
We need a wide net to catch the possible moved lines, but then need to
narrow down to check if the blocks are still intact. Consider this
example (ignoring block sizes):

 - A
 - B
 - C
 +    A
 +    B
 +    C

At the beginning of a block when checking if there is a counterpart
for A, we have to ignore all space changes. However at the following
lines we have to check if the indent change stayed the same.

Checking if the indentation change did stay the same, is done by computing
the indentation change by the difference in line length, and then assume
the change is only in the beginning of the longer line, the common tail
is the same. That is why the test contains lines like:

 - <TAB> A
 ...
 + A <TAB>
 ...

As the first line starting a block is caught using a compare function that
ignores white spaces unlike the rest of the block, where the white space
delta is taken into account for the comparison, we also have to think about
the following situation:

 - A
 - B
 -   A
 -   B
 +    A
 +    B
 +      A
 +      B

When checking if the first A (both in the + and - lines) is a start of
a block, we have to check all 'A' and record all the white space deltas
such that we can find the example above to be just one block that is
indented.

b3095712f9 diff.c: decouple white space treatment from move detection algorithm
In the original implementation of the move detection logic the choice for
ignoring white space changes is the same for the move detection as it is
for the regular diff.  Some cases came up where different treatment would
have been nice.

Allow the user to specify that white space should be ignored differently
during detection of moved lines than during generation of added and removed
lines. This is done by providing analogs to the --ignore-space-at-eol,
-b, and -w options by introducing the option --color-moved-ws=<modes>
with the modes named "ignore-space-at-eol", "ignore-space-change" and
"ignore-all-space", which is used only during the move detection phase.

As we change the default, we'll adjust the tests.

For now we do not infer any options to treat white spaces in the move
detection from the generic white space options given to diff.
This can be tuned later to reasonable default.

As we plan on adding more white space related options in a later patch,
that interferes with the current white space options, use a flag field
and clamp it down to  XDF_WHITESPACE_FLAGS, as that (a) allows to easily
check at parse time if we give invalid combinations and (b) can reuse
parts of this patch.

By having the white space treatment in its own option, we'll also
make it easier for a later patch to have an config option for
spaces in the move detection.

51da15eb23 diff.c: add a blocks mode for moved code detection
The new "blocks" mode provides a middle ground between plain and zebra.
It is as intuitive (few colors) as plain, but still has the requirement
for a minimum of lines/characters to count a block as moved.

"git diff" and friends learned "--compact-summary" that shows the

vertical space and keeps info on a single path at the same place).

ddf88fa616 diff: add --compact-summary
Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used
in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the
same file is in two places (--stat and --summary).

On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of
display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of
files.

--compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the
little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with
commit 0433d533f1:

   Documentation/merge-config.txt         |  4 +
   builtin/merge.c                        |  2 +
   ...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++
   t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh     | 45 ++++++++
   4 files changed, 132 insertions(+)

It helps both condensing information and saving some text
space. What's new in diffstat is:

- A new 0644 file is shown as (new)
- A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x)
- A new symlink is shown as (new +l)
- A deleted file is shown as (gone)
- A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x)
- A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x)

Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information
--summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be
added later, like R50% or C20%.

15af58c1ad diffcore: add a pickaxe option to find a specific blob
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to
identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs,
but what are these? or [1])

One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs,
such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as
'<commit-ish>:<path>'.  This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer
number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right.
The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that
could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that
removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches.

Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this
patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting
the information to what is shown. For example:

    $ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile
    b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now
    47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:"

we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in
v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b.  The
reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil
merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

cf63051ada diff: introduce DIFF_PICKAXE_KINDS_MASK
Currently the check whether to perform pickaxing is done via checking
`diffopt->pickaxe`, which contains the command line argument that we
want to pickaxe for. Soon we'll introduce a new type of pickaxing, that
will not store anything in the `.pickaxe` field, so let's migrate the
check to be dependent on pickaxe_opts.

It is not enough to just replace the check for pickaxe by pickaxe_opts,
because flags might be set, but pickaxing was not requested ('-i').
To cope with that, introduce a mask to check only for the bits indicating
the modes of operation.
