2007-02-28diff: make more cases implicit --no-indexLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+4
When specifying an absolute path, or a relative path pointing outside the working tree, do not fail, but roll your own diffopt parsing, and execute a --no-index diff. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-22Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-25/+4
With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository. In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked, the default is --no-index. So, you can now say git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab and it actually works! This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files() and builtin_diff_files().

2006-07-29Call setup_git_directory() much earlierLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
This changes the calling convention of built-in commands and passes the "prefix" (i.e. pathname of $PWD relative to the project root level) down to them. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-28Call setup_git_directory() earlyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
Any git command that expects to work in a subdirectory of a project, and that reads the git config files (which is just about all of them) needs to make sure that it does the "setup_git_directory()" call before it tries to read the config file. This means, among other things, that we need to move the call out of "init_revisions()", and into the caller. This does the mostly trivial conversion to do that.

2006-07-27log and diff family: honor config even from subdirectoriesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
There currently is an unfortunate circular dependency between what init_revisions (the command line revision specification parser) does and setting up the log and diff options. The function uses setup_git_directory() to find the root of the project relative to the current directory and calls diff_setup() to prepare diff generation. However, some of the things that diff_setup() does needs to depend on the configuration variable, which needs to be read after setup_git_directory() is called. This patch is a low impact workaround. It first lets init_revisions() to run and do its thing, then uses git_config() and diff_setup() after it returns, so that configuration variables that affects the diff operation can be used from subdirectories.

2006-07-08diff: do not use configuration magic at the core-levelLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The Porcelainish has become so much usable as the UI that there is not much reason people should be using the core programs by hand anymore. At this point we are better off making the behaviour of the core programs predictable by keeping them unaffected by the configuration variables. Otherwise they will become very hard to use as reliable building blocks. For example, "git-commit -a" internally uses git-diff-files to figure out the set of paths that need to be updated in the index, and we should never allow diff.renames that happens to be in the configuration to interfere (or slow down the process). The UI level configuration such as showing renamed diff and coloring are still honored by the Porcelainish ("git log" family and "git diff"), but not by the core anymore.

2006-06-26Set default diff output format after parsing command lineLibravatar Timo Hirvonen1-0/+3
Initialize output_format to 0 instead of DIFF_FORMAT_RAW so that we can see later if any command line options changed it. Default value is set only if output format was not specified. Signed-off-by: Timo Hirvonen <tihirvon@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-06-19Add "named object array" conceptLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
We've had this notion of a "object_list" for a long time, which eventually grew a "name" member because some users (notably git-rev-list) wanted to name each object as it is generated. That object_list is great for some things, but it isn't all that wonderful for others, and the "name" member is generally not used by everybody. This patch splits the users of the object_list array up into two: the traditional list users, who want the list-like format, and who don't actually use or want the name. And another class of users that really used the list as an extensible array, and generally wanted to name the objects. The patch is fairly straightforward, but it's also biggish. Most of it really just cleans things up: switching the revision parsing and listing over to the array makes things like the builtin-diff usage much simpler (we now see exactly how many members the array has, and we don't get the objects reversed from the order they were on the command line). One of the main reasons for doing this at all is that the malloc overhead of the simple object list was actually pretty high, and the array is just a lot denser. So this patch brings down memory usage by git-rev-list by just under 3% (on top of all the other memory use optimizations) on the mozilla archive. It does add more lines than it removes, and more importantly, it adds a whole new infrastructure for maintaining lists of objects, but on the other hand, the new dynamic array code is pretty obvious. The change to builtin-diff-tree.c shows a fairly good example of why an array interface is sometimes more natural, and just much simpler for everybody.
