2015-05-19Merge branch 'nd/diff-i-t-a'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+12
After "git add -N", the path appeared in output of "git diff HEAD" and "git diff --cached HEAD", leading "git status" to classify it as "Changes to be committed". Such a path, however, is not yet to be scheduled to be committed. "git diff" showed the change to the path as modification, not as a "new file", in the header of its output. Treat such paths as "yet to be added to the index but Git already know about them"; "git diff HEAD" and "git diff --cached HEAD" should not talk about them, and "git diff" should show them as new files yet to be added to the index. * nd/diff-i-t-a: diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diff

2015-03-23diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a entries in diffLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+12
Entries added by "git add -N" are reminder for the user so that they don't forget to add them before committing. These entries appear in the index even though they are not real. Their presence in the index leads to a confusing "git status" like this: On branch master Changes to be committed: new file: foo Changes not staged for commit: modified: foo If you do a "git commit", "foo" will not be included even though "status" reports it as "to be committed". This patch changes the output to become On branch master Changes not staged for commit: new file: foo no changes added to commit The two hunks in diff-lib.c adjust "diff-index" and "diff-files" so that i-t-a entries appear as new files in diff-files and nothing in diff-index. Due to this change, diff-files may start to report "new files" for the first time. "add -u" needs to be told about this or it will die in denial, screaming "new files can't exist! Reality is wrong." Luckily, it's the only one among run_diff_files() callers that needs fixing. Now in the new world order, a hierarchy in the index that contain i-t-a paths is written out as a tree object as if these i-t-a entries do not exist, and comparing the index with such a tree object that would result from writing out the hierarchy will result in no difference. Update a test in t2203 that expected the i-t-a entries to appear as "added to the index" in the comparison to instead expect no output. An earlier change eec3e7e4 (cache-tree: invalidate i-t-a paths after generating trees, 2012-12-16) becomes an unnecessary pessimization in the new world order---a cache-tree in the index that corresponds to a hierarchy with i-t-a paths can now be marked as valid and record the object name of the tree that results from writing a tree object out of that hierarchy, as it will compare equal to that tree. Reverting the commit is left for the future, though, as it is purely a performance issue and no longer affects correctness.

2014-05-15run_diff_files: do not look at uninitialized stat dataLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+21
If we try to diff an index entry marked CE_VALID (because it was marked with --assume-unchanged), we do not bother even running stat() on the file to see if it was removed. This started long ago with 540e694 (Prevent diff machinery from examining assume-unchanged entries on worktree, 2009-08-11). However, the subsequent code may look at our "struct stat" and expect to find actual data; currently it will find whatever cruft was left on the stack. This can cause problems in two situations: 1. We call match_stat_with_submodule with the stat data, so a submodule may be erroneously marked as changed. 2. If --find-copies-harder is in effect, we pass all entries, even unchanged ones, to diff_change, so it can list them as rename/copy sources. Since we found no change, we assume that function will realize it and not actually display any diff output. However, we end up feeding it a bogus mode, leading it to sometimes claim there was a mode change. We can fix both by splitting the CE_VALID and regular code paths, and making sure only to look at the stat information in the latter. Furthermore, we push the declaration of our "struct stat" down into the code paths that actually set it, so we cannot accidentally access it uninitialized in future code.

2013-07-15parse_pathspec: add special flag for max_depth featureLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+0
match_pathspec_depth() and tree_entry_interesting() check max_depth field in order to support "git grep --max-depth". The feature activation is tied to "recursive" field, which led to some unwanted activation, e.g. 5c8eeb8 (diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_trees - 2012-01-15). This patch decouples the activation from "recursive" field, puts it in "magic" field instead. This makes sure that only "git grep" can activate this feature. And because parse_pathspec knows when the feature is not used, it does not need to sort pathspec (required for max_depth to work correctly). A small win for non-grep cases. Even though a new magic flag is introduced, no magic syntax is. The magic can be only enabled by parse_pathspec() caller. We might someday want to support ":(maxdepth:10)src." It all depends on actual use cases. max_depth feature cannot be enabled via init_pathspec() anymore. But that's ok because init_pathspec() is on its way to /dev/null.

Change the type merge_fn_t to accept the array of cache_entry pointers as const pointers to const pointers. This documents the fact that the merge functions don't modify the cache_entry contents or replace any of the pointers in the array. Only a single cast is necessary in unpack_nondirectories because adding two const modifiers at once is not allowed in C. The cast is safe in that it doesn't mask any modfication; call_unpack_fn only needs the array for reading.

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+12
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

2012-01-16diff-index: enable recursive pathspec matching in unpack_treesLibravatar Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy1-0/+2
The pathspec structure has a few bits of data to drive various operation modes after we unified the pathspec matching logic in various codepaths. For example, max_depth field is there so that "git grep" can limit the output for files found in limited depth of tree traversal. Also in order to show just the surface level differences in "git diff-tree", recursive field stops us from descending into deeper level of the tree structure when it is set to false, and this also affects pathspec matching when we have wildcards in the pathspec. The diff-index has always wanted the recursive behaviour, and wanted to match pathspecs without any depth limit. But we forgot to do so when we updated tree_entry_interesting() logic to unify the pathspec matching logic.

2011-05-31diff-index --quiet: learn the "stop feeding the backend early" logicLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+6
A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error. This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon finding the first difference. Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just like the failure codepath. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-03-16diff --quiet: disable optimization when --diff-filter=X is usedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet. And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change. When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end. The optimization needs to be disabled for such case. Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options, 2009-05-22) already disables this optimization by refraining from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect the contents of the files (e.g. -S, -w) in diff_change() function.

2010-08-09Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-5/+10
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each submodule. The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept the new parameter "none" for both status and diff. Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan. This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff): "all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored. "dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules. "untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored, a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it as modified. "none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status" so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

2010-06-11Add optional parameters to the diff option "--ignore-submodules"Libravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+1
In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content. Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

2010-03-13git status: ignoring untracked files must apply to submodules tooLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-1/+1
Since 1.7.0 submodules are considered dirty when they contain untracked files. But when git status is called with the "-uno" option, the user asked to ignore untracked files, so they must be ignored in submodules too. To achieve this, the new flag DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_UNTRACKED_IN_SUBMODULES is introduced. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-03-12git status: Fix false positive "new commits" output for dirty submodulesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-4/+2
Testing if the output "new commits" should appear in the long format of "git status" is done by comparing the hashes of the diffpair. This always resulted in printing "new commits" for submodules that contained untracked or modified content, even if they did not contain new commits. The reason was that match_stat_with_submodule() did set the "changed" flag for dirty submodules, resulting in two->sha1 being set to the null_sha1 at the call sites, which indicates that new commits are present. This is changed so that when no new commits are present, the same object names are in the sha1 field for both sides of the filepair, and the working tree side will have the "dirty_submodule" flag set when appropriate. For a submodule to be seen as modified even when it just has a dirty work tree, some conditions had to be extended to also check for the "dirty_submodule" flag. Unfortunately the test case that should have found this bug had been changed incorrectly too. It is fixed and extended to test for other combinations too.

2010-03-12Refactor dirty submodule detection in diff-lib.cLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-18/+27
Moving duplicated code into the new function match_stat_with_submodule(). Replacing the implicit activation of detailed checks for the dirtiness of submodules when DIFF_FORMAT_PATCH was selected with explicitly setting the recently added DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES option in diff_setup_done().

2010-03-09revision: introduce setup_revision_optLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
So far the last parameter to setup_revisions() was to specify the default ref when the command line did not give any (typically "HEAD"). This changes it to take a pointer to a structure so that we can add other information without touching too many codepaths in later patches. There is no functionality change.
