2006-04-10Implement limited context matching in git-apply.Libravatar Eric W. Biederman1-1/+7
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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-03-02war on whitespaces: documentation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+30
We were missing the --whitespace option in the usage string for git-apply and git-am, so this commit adds them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This is a specialized hack to help no-base merges, but other people might find it useful, so let's document it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-10-28git-apply --numstatLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+7
The new option, --numstat, shows number of inserted and deleted lines for each path. It is similar to --stat output but is meant to be more machine friendly by giving number of added and deleted lines and unabbreviated paths. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

The original plan was to do 3-way merge between local working tree, index and the patch being applied, but that was never implemented. Retire the flag to control its behaviour. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
