2018-10-19Merge branch 'nd/the-index'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Various codepaths in the core-ish part learn to work on an arbitrary in-core index structure, not necessarily the default instance "the_index". * nd/the-index: (23 commits) revision.c: reduce implicit dependency the_repository revision.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index ws.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index tree-diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index submodule.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index line-range.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index userdiff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index rerere.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index sha1-file.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index patch-ids.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index merge.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index merge-blobs.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index ll-merge.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index diff-lib.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index read-cache.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index grep.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index diff.c: remove the_index dependency in textconv() functions blame.c: rename "repo" argument to "r" combine-diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index ...
2018-09-21diff.c: remove implicit dependency on the_indexLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
A new variant repo_diff_setup() is added that takes 'struct repository *' and diff_setup() becomes a thin macro around it that is protected by NO_THE_REPOSITORY_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS, similar to NO_THE_INDEX_.... The plan is these macros will always be defined for all library files and the macros are only accessible in builtin/ Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-09-17Merge branch 'es/format-patch-rangediff'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-20/+5
"git format-patch" learned a new "--range-diff" option to explain the difference between this version and the previous attempt in the cover letter (or after the tree-dashes as a comment). * es/format-patch-rangediff: format-patch: allow --range-diff to apply to a lone-patch format-patch: add --creation-factor tweak for --range-diff format-patch: teach --range-diff to respect -v/--reroll-count format-patch: extend --range-diff to accept revision range format-patch: add --range-diff option to embed diff in cover letter range-diff: relieve callers of low-level configuration burden range-diff: publish default creation factor range-diff: respect diff_option.file rather than assuming 'stdout'
2018-08-27range-diff: update stale summary of --no-dual-colorLibravatar Kyle Meyer1-1/+1
275267937b (range-diff: make dual-color the default mode, 2018-08-13) replaced --dual-color with --no-dual-color but left the option's summary untouched. Rewrite the summary to describe --no-dual-color rather than dual-color.

2018-08-14range-diff: relieve callers of low-level configuration burdenLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-19/+4
There are a number of very low-level configuration details which need to be managed precisely to generate a proper range-diff. In particular, 'diff_options' output format, header suppression, indentation, and dual-color mode must all be set appropriately to ensure proper behavior. Handle these details locally in the libified range-diff back-end rather than forcing each caller to have specialized knowledge of these implementation details, and to avoid duplication as new callers are added. While at it, localize these tweaks to be active only while generating the range-diff, so they don't clobber the caller-provided 'diff_options', which might be used beyond range-diff generation.

2018-08-14range-diff: publish default creation factorLibravatar Eric Sunshine1-1/+1
The range-diff back-end allows its heuristic to be tweaked via the "creation factor". git-range-diff, the only client of the back-end, defaults the factor to 60% (hard-coded in builtin/range-diff.c), but allows the user to override it with the --creation-factor option. Publish the default range factor to allow new callers of the range-diff back-end to default to the same value without duplicating the hard-coded constant, and to avoid worrying about various callers becoming out-of-sync if the default ever needs to change.

2018-08-13range-diff: make --dual-color the default modeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+6
After using this command extensively for the last two months, this developer came to the conclusion that even if the dual color mode still leaves a lot of room for confusion about what was actually changed, the non-dual color mode is substantially worse in that regard. Therefore, we really want to make the dual color mode the default. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-13range-diff: offer to dual-color the diffsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+8
When showing what changed between old and new commits, we show a diff of the patches. This diff is a diff between diffs, therefore there are nested +/- signs, and it can be relatively hard to understand what is going on. With the --dual-color option, the preimage and the postimage are colored like the diffs they are, and the *outer* +/- sign is inverted for clarity.

2018-08-13range-diff: suppress the diff headersLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
When showing the diff between corresponding patches of the two branch versions, we have to make up a fake filename to run the diff machinery. That filename does not carry any meaningful information, hence tbdiff suppresses it. So we should, too.

2018-08-13range-diff: indent the diffs just like tbdiffLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+10
The main information in the `range-diff` view comes from the list of matching and non-matching commits, the diffs are additional information. Indenting them helps with the reading flow. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-08-13range-diff: also show the diff between patchesLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+29
Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the beginner. An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then applying the new diff. Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible, though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred. This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard to tbdiff. To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly. Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored. This is left for a later commit. Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse(). And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call `parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options are left.

2018-08-13range-diff: first rudimentary implementationLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+44
At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced implementation of the linear assignment algorithm. The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff. The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right. Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of roughly equal length).

2018-08-13Introduce `range-diff` to compare iterations of a topic branchLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+25
This command does not do a whole lot so far, apart from showing a usage that is oddly similar to that of `git tbdiff`. And for a good reason: the next commits will turn `range-branch` into a full-blown replacement for `tbdiff`. At this point, we ignore tbdiff's color options, as they will all be implemented later using diff_options. Since f318d739159 (generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h, 2018-05-10), every new command *requires* a man page to build right away, so let's also add a blank man page, too.
