2007-08-31git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviourLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+27
The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from "git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh". It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore. This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist. By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness do not even have to see the warning. The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

2007-08-14git-diff: squelch "empty" diffsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+8
After starting to edit a working tree file but later when your edit ends up identical to the original (this can also happen when you ran a wholesale regexp replace with something like "perl -i" that does not actually modify many of the paths), "git diff" between the index and the working tree outputs many "empty" diffs that show "diff --git" headers and nothing else, because these paths are stat-dirty. While it was a way to warn the user that the earlier action of the user made the index ineffective as an optimization mechanism, it was felt too loud for the purpose of warning even to experienced users, and also resulted in confusing people new to git. This replaces the "empty" diffs with a single warning message at the end. Having many such paths hurts performance, and you can run "git-update-index --refresh" to update the lstat(2) information recorded in the index in such a case. "git-status" does so as a side effect, and that is more familiar to the end-user, so we recommend it to them. The change affects only "git diff" that outputs patch text, because that is where the annoyance of too many "empty" diff is most strongly felt, and because the warning message can be safely ignored by downstream tools without getting mistaken as part of the patch. For the low-level "git diff-files" and "git diff-index", the traditional behaviour is retained. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-08-13diff: don't run pager if user asked for a diff style exit codeLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+6
As Wincent Colaiuta found out, it's a bit unexpected for git diff to start a pager even when the --quiet option is specified. The problem is that the pager hides the return code -- which is the only output we're interested in in this case. Push pager setup down into builtin-diff.c and don't start the pager if --exit-code or --quiet (which implies --exit-code) was specified.

2007-07-29git-diff: turn on recursion by defaultLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The tree recursion behavior of git-diff may appear inconsistent to the user because it depends on the format of the patch as well as whether one is diffing between trees or against the index. Since git-diff is a porcelain wrapper for low-level diff commands, it makes sense for its behavior to be consistent no matter what is being diffed. This patch turns on recursion in all cases.

2007-04-22Support 'diff=pgm' attributeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed per path. To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom diff driver in the configuration: [diff "my-c-diff"] command = <<your command string comes here>> Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver using the attribute mechanism. *.c diff=my-c-diff The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is used for specifying the type of the contents, while the configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both platform and personal taste.

2007-02-22Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-35/+3
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().

2006-12-13Revert "git-diff: Introduce --index and deprecate --cached."Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This reverts commit 4c81c213a479e4aae0653a56ad6e8db5c31f019c. Although --cached and --index are confusing wording, the use of word --cached for git-diff is consistent with git-apply. It means "work with index without looking at the working tree". We should probably come up with better wording for --cached, if somebody wants to deprecate it. But making --index and --cached synonyms for diff while leaving them mean different things for apply is no good.

2006-08-23Convert memcpy(a,b,20) to hashcpy(a,b).Libravatar Shawn Pearce1-2/+2
This abstracts away the size of the hash values when copying them from memory location to memory location, much as the introduction of hashcmp abstracted away hash value comparsion. A few call sites were using char* rather than unsigned char* so I added the cast rather than open hashcpy to be void*. This is a reasonable tradeoff as most call sites already use unsigned char* and the existing hashcmp is also declared to be unsigned char*. [jc: Splitted the patch to "master" part, to be followed by a patch for merge-recursive.c which is not in "master" yet.

2006-07-28Call setup_git_directory() earlyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
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/+2
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.

2006-07-12Remove TYPE_* constant macros and use object_type enums consistently.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
This updates the type-enumeration constants introduced to reduce the memory footprint of "struct object" to match the type bits already used in the packfile format, by removing the former (i.e. TYPE_* constant macros) and using the latter (i.e. enum object_type) throughout the code for consistency. Eventually we can stop passing around the "type strings" entirely, and this will help - no confusion about two different integer enumeration.

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.

2006-06-19Add "named object array" conceptLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-12/+14
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.

2006-06-17Shrink "struct object" a bitLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-3/+3
This shrinks "struct object" by a small amount, by getting rid of the "struct type *" pointer and replacing it with a 3-bit bitfield instead. In addition, we merge the bitfields and the "flags" field, which incidentally should also remove a useless 4-byte padding from the object when in 64-bit mode. Now, our "struct object" is still too damn large, but it's now less obviously bloated, and of the remaining fields, only the "util" (which is not used by most things) is clearly something that should be eventually discarded. This shrinks the "git-rev-list --all" memory use by about 2.5% on the kernel archive (and, perhaps more importantly, on the larger mozilla archive). That may not sound like much, but I suspect it's more on a 64-bit platform. There are other remaining inefficiencies (the parent lists, for example, probably have horrible malloc overhead), but this was pretty obvious. Most of the patch is just changing the comparison of the "type" pointer from one of the constant string pointers to the appropriate new TYPE_xxx small integer constant.
