2009-06-03blame: correctly handle a path that used to be a directoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+18
When trying to see if the same path exists in the parent, we ran "diff-tree" with pathspec set to the path we are interested in with the parent, and expect either to have exactly one resulting filepair (either "changed from the parent", "created when there was none") or nothing (when there is no change from the parent). If the path used to be a directory, however, we will also see unbounded number of entries that talk about the files that used to exist underneath the directory in question. Correctly pick only the entry that describes the path we are interested in in such a case (namely, the creation of the path as a regular file). Noticed by Ben Willard.

2009-03-05Make git blame's date output format configurable, like git logLibravatar Eugene Letuchy1-16/+51
Add the following: - git config value blame.date that expects one of the git log date formats (e.g. relative,local,default,iso,...); - git blame command line option --date expects one of the git log date formats; - documentation in blame-options.txt; - git blame uses the appropriate date.c functions and enums to make sense of the date format and provide appropriate data; git blame continues to line up the output columns by padding the date column up to the max width of the chosen date format. The date format for git blame without both blame.date and --date continues to be ISO for backwards compatibility. git annotate ignores the date format specifiers and continues to uses the ISO format, as before.

Based on a patch by Brian Downing, this replaces the struct patch based code for blame passing with calls to xdi_diff_hunks(). This way we avoid generating and then parsing patches; we only let the interesting infos be passed to our callbacks instead.

2008-10-21builtin-blame: Reencode commit messages according to git-log rules.Libravatar Alexander Gavrilov1-5/+11
Currently git-blame outputs text from the commit messages (e.g. the author name and the summary string) as-is, without even providing any information about the encoding used for the data. It makes interpreting the data in multilingual environment very difficult. This commit changes the blame implementation to recode the messages using the rules used by other commands like git-log. Namely, the target encoding can be specified through the i18n.commitEncoding or i18n.logOutputEncoding options, or directly on the command line using the --encoding parameter. Converting the encoding before output seems to be more friendly to the porcelain tools than simply providing the value of the encoding header, and does not require changing the output format. If anybody needs the old behavior, it is possible to achieve it by specifying --encoding=none.

When the final blame is laid for a line to a <commit, path> pair, it also gives a "previous" information to --porcelain and --incremental output format. It gives the parent commit of the blamed commit, _and_ a path in that parent commit that corresponds to the blamed path --- in short, it is the origin that would have been blamed (or passed blame through) for the line _if_ the blamed commit did not change that line. This unfortunately makes sanity checking of refcount quite complex, so I ripped it out for now. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This further enhances xdi_diff_outf() interface so that it takes two common parameters: the callback function that processes one line at a time, and a pointer to its application specific callback data structure. xdi_diff_outf() creates its own "xdiff_emit_state" structure and stashes these two away inside it, which is used by the lowest level output function in the xdiff_outf() callchain, consume_one(), to call back to the application layer.

2008-04-12git-blame --reverseLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+65
This new option allows "git blame" to read an old version of the file, and up to which commit each line survived (i.e. their children rewrote the line out of the contents). The previous revision machinery update to decorate each commit with its children was leading to this change. When the --reverse option is given, we read the old version and pass blame to the children of the current suspect, instead of the usual order of starting from the latest and passing blame to parents. The standard yardstick of "blame" in git.git history is "rev-list.c" which was refactored heavily in its existence. For example: git blame -C -C -w --reverse 9de48752..master -- rev-list.c begins like this: 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 1) #include "cache... 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 2) #include "commi... 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 3) #include "tree.... 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 4) #include "blob.... 213523f4 rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2006-03-01 5) #include "epoch... 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 6) ab57c8dd rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2006-02-24 7) #define SEEN ab57c8dd rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2006-02-24 8) #define INTERES... 213523f4 rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2006-03-01 9) #define COUNTED... 7e21c29b rev-list.c (LTorvalds 2005-07-06 10) #define SHOWN ... 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 11) 6c41b801 builtin-rev-list.c (JC Hamano 2008-04-02 12) static const ch... b1349229 rev-list.c (LTorvalds 2005-07-26 13) "usage: git-...

2008-02-22Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.Libravatar Jim Meyering1-2/+1
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests. E.g., it replaces code like this: if (some_expression) free (some_expression); with the now-equivalent: free (some_expression); It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL) to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test. Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following: git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \ perl -0x3b -pi -e \ 's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s' Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like "if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like that in git sources. Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the affected "if"-statement has a matching "else". E.g., it would transform this if (x) free (x); else foo (); into this: free (x); else foo (); There were none of those here, either. If you're interested in automating detection of the useless tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib: [it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S option to make it detect free-like functions with different names] http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free Addendum: Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

* sp/safecrlf: safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
2008-02-06safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-1/+1
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds.

2008-01-21Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core oneLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be simpler. In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields. This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do not exist in the on-disk format. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
