2016-09-26Merge branch 'jt/format-patch-rfc'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+9
In some projects, it is common to use "[RFC PATCH]" as the subject prefix for a patch meant for discussion rather than application. A new option "--rfc" was a short-hand for "--subject-prefix=RFC PATCH" to help the participants of such projects. * jt/format-patch-rfc: format-patch: add "--rfc" for the common case of [RFC PATCH]

The "unsigned char sha1[20]" to "struct object_id" conversion continues. Notable changes in this round includes that ce->sha1, i.e. the object name recorded in the cache_entry, turns into an object_id. It had merge conflicts with a few topics in flight (Christian's "apply.c split", Dscho's "cat-file --filters" and Jeff Hostetler's "status --porcelain-v2").

2016-09-15format-patch: show base info before email signatureLibravatar Josh Triplett1-3/+3
Any text below the "-- " for the email signature gets treated as part of the signature, and many mail clients will trim it from the quoted text for a reply. Move it above the signature, so people can reply to it more easily. Similarly, when producing the patch as a MIME attachment, the original code placed the base info after the attached part, which would be discarded. Move the base info to the end of the part, still inside the part boundary. Add tests for the exact format of the email signature, and add tests to ensure that the base info appears before the email signature when producing a plain-text output, and that it appears before the part boundary when producing a MIME attachment.

Change the default behavior of git-format-patch to generate numbered sequence of 0/1 and 1/1 when generating both a cover-letter and a single patch. This standardizes the cover letter to have 0/N which helps distinguish the cover letter from the patch itself.

2016-08-12Merge branch 'kw/patch-ids-optim'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
When "git rebase" tries to compare set of changes on the updated upstream and our own branch, it computes patch-id for all of these changes and attempts to find matches. This has been optimized by lazily computing the full patch-id (which is expensive) to be compared only for changes that touch the same set of paths. * kw/patch-ids-optim: rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDs patch-ids: add flag to create the diff patch id using header only data patch-ids: replace the seen indicator with a commit pointer patch-ids: stop using a hand-rolled hashmap implementation
2016-08-11rebase: avoid computing unnecessary patch IDsLibravatar Kevin Willford1-1/+1
The `rebase` family of Git commands avoid applying patches that were already integrated upstream. They do that by using the revision walking option that computes the patch IDs of the two sides of the rebase (local-only patches vs upstream-only ones) and skipping those local patches whose patch ID matches one of the upstream ones. In many cases, this causes unnecessary churn, as already the set of paths touched by a given commit would suffice to determine that an upstream patch has no local equivalent. This hurts performance in particular when there are a lot of upstream patches, and/or large ones. Therefore, let's introduce the concept of a "diff-header-only" patch ID, compare those first, and only evaluate the "full" patch ID lazily. Please note that in contrast to the "full" patch IDs, those "diff-header-only" patch IDs are prone to collide with one another, as adjacent commits frequently touch the very same files. Hence we now have to be careful to allow multiple hash entries with the same hash. We accomplish that by using the hashmap_add() function that does not even test for hash collisions. This also allows us to evaluate the full patch ID lazily, i.e. only when we found commits with matching diff-header-only patch IDs. We add a performance test that demonstrates ~1-6% improvement. In practice this will depend on various factors such as how many upstream changes and how big those changes are along with whether file system caches are cold or warm. As Git's test suite has no way of catching performance regressions, we also add a regression test that verifies that the full patch ID computation is skipped when the diff-header-only computation suffices.

2016-06-24format-patch: use stdout directlyLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-5/+1
Earlier, we freopen()ed stdout in order to write patches to files. That forced us to duplicate stdout (naming it "realstdout") because we *still* wanted to be able to report the file names. As we do not abuse stdout that way anymore, we no longer need to duplicate stdout, either.

2016-06-24format-patch: avoid freopen()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-31/+33
We just taught the relevant functions to respect the diffopt.file field, to allow writing somewhere else than stdout. Let's make use of it. Technically, we do not need to avoid that call in a builtin: we assume that builtins (as opposed to library functions) are stand-alone programs that may do with their (global) state. Yet, we want to be able to reuse that code in properly lib-ified code, e.g. when converting scripts into builtins. Further, while we did not *have* to touch the cmd_show() and cmd_cherry() code paths (because they do not want to write anywhere but stdout as of yet), it just makes sense to be consistent, making it easier and safer to move the code later.

2016-06-24format-patch: explicitly switch off color when writing to filesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+2
The --color=auto handling is done by seeing if file descriptor 1 (the standard output) is connected to a terminal. format-patch used freopen() to reuse the standard output stream even when sending its output to an on-disk file, and this check is appropriate. In the next step, however, we will stop reusing "FILE *stdout", and instead start using arbitrary file descriptor obtained by doing an fopen(3) ourselves. The check --color=auto does will become useless, as we no longer are writing to the standard output stream. But then, we do not need to guess to begin with. As argued in the commit message of 7787570c (format-patch: ignore ui.color, 2011-09-13), we do not allow the ui.color setting to affect format-patch's output. The only time, therefore, that we allow color sequences to be written to the output files is when the user specified the --color=always command-line option explicitly.

2016-06-24log: prepare log/log-tree to reuse the diffopt.close_file attributeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+12
We are about to teach the log-tree machinery to reuse the diffopt.file field to output to a file stream other than stdout, in line with the diff machinery already writing to diffopt.file. However, we might want to write something after the diff in log_tree_commit() (e.g. with the --show-linear-break option), therefore we must not let the diff machinery close the file (as per diffopt.close_file. This means that log_tree_commit() itself must override the diffopt.close_file flag and close the file, and if log_tree_commit() is called in a loop, the caller is responsible to do the same. Note: format-patch has an `--output-directory` option. Due to the fact that format-patch's options are parsed first, and that the parse-options machinery accepts uniquely abbreviated options, the diff options `--output` (and `-o`) are shadowed. Therefore close_file is not set to 1 so that cmd_format_patch() does *not* need to handle the close_file flag differently, even if it calls log_tree_commit() in a loop.

2016-06-13use string_list initializer consistentlyLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
There are two types of string_lists: those that own the string memory, and those that don't. You can tell the difference by the strdup_strings flag, and one should use either STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, or STRING_LIST_INIT_NODUP as an initializer. Historically, the normal all-zeros initialization has corresponded to the NODUP case. Many sites use no initializer at all, and that works as a shorthand for that case. But for a reader of the code, it can be hard to remember which is which. Let's be more explicit and actually have each site declare which type it means to use. This is a fairly mechanical conversion; I assumed each site was correct as-is, and just switched them all to NODUP.

2016-06-06pretty: support "mboxrd" output formatLibravatar Eric Wong1-1/+1
This output format prevents format-patch output from breaking readers if somebody copy+pasted an mbox into a commit message. Unlike the traditional "mboxo" format, "mboxrd" is designed to be fully-reversible. "mboxrd" also gracefully degrades to showing extra ">" in existing "mboxo" readers. This degradation is preferable to breaking message splitting completely, a problem I've seen in "mboxcl" due to having multiple, non-existent, or inaccurate Content-Length headers. "mboxcl2" is a non-starter since it's inherits the problems of "mboxcl" while being completely incompatible with existing tooling based around mailsplit. ref: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html Signed-off-by: Eric Wong <e@80x24.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-04-26format-patch: add '--base' option to record base tree infoLibravatar Xiaolong Ye1-0/+139
Maintainers or third party testers may want to know the exact base tree the patch series applies to. Teach git format-patch a '--base' option to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series). The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit" that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order before the patches can be applied. The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as "prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable" command. Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch series A, B, C, the history would be like: ---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with "--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the cover letter), like this: base-commit: P prerequisite-patch-id: X prerequisite-patch-id: Y prerequisite-patch-id: Z Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xiaolong Ye <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it. Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the situation.

2015-10-05use strbuf_complete to conditionally append slashLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+1
When working with paths in strbufs, we frequently want to ensure that a directory contains a trailing slash before appending to it. We can shorten this code (and make the intent more obvious) by calling strbuf_complete. Most of these cases are trivially identical conversions, but there are two things to note: - in a few cases we did not check that the strbuf is non-empty (which would lead to an out-of-bounds memory access). These were generally not triggerable in practice, either from earlier assertions, or typically because we would have just fed the strbuf to opendir(), which would choke on an empty path. - in a few cases we indexed the buffer with "original_len" or similar, rather than the current sb->len, and it is not immediately obvious from the diff that they are the same. In all of these cases, I manually verified that the strbuf does not change between the assignment and the strbuf_complete call. This does not convert cases which look like: if (sb->len && !is_dir_sep(sb->buf[sb->len - 1])) strbuf_addch(sb, '/'); as those are obviously semantically different. Some of these cases arguably should be doing that, but that is out of scope for this change, which aims purely for cleanup with no behavior change (and at least it will make such sites easier to find and examine in the future, as we can grep for strbuf_complete).

2015-08-20log: show merge commit when --cc is givenLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+4
We defaulted to ignoring merge diffs because long long ago, in a galaxy far away, we didn't have a great way to show the diffs. The whole "--cc" option goes back to January '06 and commit d8f4790e6fe7 ("diff-tree --cc: denser combined diff output for a merge commit"). And before that option - so for about 8 months - we had no good way to show the diffs of merges in a good dense way. So the whole "don't show diffs for merges by default" actually made a lot of sense originally, because our merge diffs were not very useful. And this was carried forward to this day. "git log --cc" still ignores merge commits, and you need to say "git log -m --cc" to view a sensible rendition of merge and non-merge commits, even with the previous change to make "--cc" imply "-p". Teach "git log" that "--cc" means the user wants to see interesting changes in merge commits by turning "-m" on. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Traditionally, this facility was used by "git show" to turn on the patch output "-p" by default when no diff output option (e.g. "--raw" or "-s" to squelch the output altogether) is given on the command line, and further give dense combined diffs "--cc" for merge commits when no option to countermand it (e.g. "-m" to show pairwise patches). Recently, "git log" started using the same facility, but we named the callback function "default_follow_tweak()", as if the only kind of tweaking we would want for "git log" will forever be limited to turning "--follow" on by default when told by a configuration variable. That was myopic. Rename it to more generic name "log_setup_revisions_tweak()", and match the one used by show "show_setup_revisions_tweak()". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2015-08-03Merge branch 'jk/date-mode-format'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Teach "git log" and friends a new "--date=format:..." option to format timestamps using system's strftime(3). * jk/date-mode-format: strbuf: make strbuf_addftime more robust introduce "format" date-mode convert "enum date_mode" into a struct show-branch: use DATE_RELATIVE instead of magic number
2015-08-03Merge branch 'dt/log-follow-config'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+16
Add a new configuration variable to enable "--follow" automatically when "git log" is run with one pathspec argument. * dt/log-follow-config: log: add "log.follow" configuration variable

Clean up refs API and make "git clone" less intimate with the implementation detail. * mh/init-delete-refs-api: delete_ref(): use the usual convention for old_sha1 cmd_update_ref(): make logic more straightforward update_ref(): don't read old reference value before delete check_branch_commit(): make first parameter const refs.h: add some parameter names to function declarations refs: move the remaining ref module declarations to refs.h initial_ref_transaction_commit(): check for ref D/F conflicts initial_ref_transaction_commit(): check for duplicate refs refs: remove some functions from the module's public interface initial_ref_transaction_commit(): function for initial ref creation repack_without_refs(): make function private prune_refs(): use delete_refs() prune_remote(): use delete_refs() delete_refs(): bail early if the packed-refs file cannot be rewritten delete_refs(): make error message more generic delete_refs(): new function for the refs API delete_ref(): handle special case more explicitly remove_branches(): remove temporary delete_ref(): move declaration to refs.h
2015-07-09log: add "log.follow" configuration variableLibravatar David Turner1-0/+16
People who work on projects with mostly linear history with frequent whole file renames may want to always use "git log --follow" when inspecting the life of the content that live in a single path. Teach the command to behave as if "--follow" was given from the command line when log.follow configuration variable is set *and* there is one (and only one) path on the command line.

2015-06-29convert "enum date_mode" into a structLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
In preparation for adding date modes that may carry extra information beyond the mode itself, this patch converts the date_mode enum into a struct. Most of the conversion is fairly straightforward; we pass the struct as a pointer and dereference the type field where necessary. Locations that declare a date_mode can use a "{}" constructor. However, the tricky case is where we use the enum labels as constants, like: show_date(t, tz, DATE_NORMAL); Ideally we could say: show_date(t, tz, &{ DATE_NORMAL }); but of course C does not allow that. Likewise, we cannot cast the constant to a struct, because we need to pass an actual address. Our options are basically: 1. Manually add a "struct date_mode d = { DATE_NORMAL }" definition to each caller, and pass "&d". This makes the callers uglier, because they sometimes do not even have their own scope (e.g., they are inside a switch statement). 2. Provide a pre-made global "date_normal" struct that can be passed by address. We'd also need "date_rfc2822", "date_iso8601", and so forth. But at least the ugliness is defined in one place. 3. Provide a wrapper that generates the correct struct on the fly. The big downside is that we end up pointing to a single global, which makes our wrapper non-reentrant. But show_date is already not reentrant, so it does not matter. This patch implements 3, along with a minor macro to keep the size of the callers sane.
