2011-05-31diff: futureproof "stop feeding the backend early" logicLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+1
Refactor the "do not stop feeding the backend early" logic into a small helper function and use it in both run_diff_files() and diff_tree() that has the stop-early optimization. We may later add other types of diffcore transformation that require to look at the whole result like diff-filter does, and having the logic in a single place is essential for longer term maintainability.

Earlier, e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) taught the command to show the object name and the mode from the entry coming from the tree side when comparing a tree with an unmerged index. This is a belated companion patch that teaches diff-files to show the mode from the entry coming from the working tree side, when comparing an unmerged index and the working tree.

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.

2010-03-08git status: Show detailed dirty status of submodules in long formatLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+4
Since 1.7.0 there are three reasons a submodule is considered modified against the work tree: It contains new commits, modified content or untracked content. Lets show all reasons in the long format of git status, so the user can better asses the nature of the modification. This change does not affect the short and porcelain formats. Two new members are added to "struct wt_status_change_data" to store the information gathered by run_diff_files(). wt-status.c uses the new flag DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES to tell diff-lib.c it wants to get detailed dirty information about submodules. A hint line for submodules is printed in the dirty header when dirty submodules are present. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-03-04git diff --submodule: Show detailed dirty status of submodulesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-8/+8
When encountering a dirty submodule while doing "git diff --submodule" print an extra line for new untracked content and another for modified but already tracked content. And if the HEAD of the submodule is equal to the ref diffed against in the superproject, drop the output which would just show the same SHA1s and no commit message headlines. To achieve that, the dirty_submodule bitfield is expanded to two bits. The output of "git status" inside the submodule is parsed to set the according bits.

2010-01-24Make ce_uptodate() trustworthy againLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce) means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is clean. There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered clean). A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules." This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule entries up-to-date. The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty", call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but that can be a separate patch.

2010-01-18Performance optimization for detection of modified submodulesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-15/+31
In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole submodule tree the first time can be reused instead. New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(), the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again. When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra argument. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-16Show submodules as modified when they contain a dirty work treeLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-2/+6
Until now a submodule only then showed up as modified in the supermodule when the last commit in the submodule differed from the one in the index or the diffed against commit of the superproject. A dirty work tree containing new untracked or modified files in a submodule was undetectable when looking at it from the superproject. Now git status and git diff (against the work tree) in the superproject will also display submodules as modified when they contain untracked or modified files, even if the compared ref matches the HEAD of the submodule.

2010-01-07unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the indexLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal. When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and (1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also fed to the n_way_merge() callback function; (2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge() callback function; (3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the index, the index entry is first unpacked alone. When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory. All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts. This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system in t6035, test #5. The test prepares these three trees: O = HEAD^ 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/x A = HEAD 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b/c/d 100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb a/x B = master 120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 a/b 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/x With a clean index that matches HEAD, running git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B now yields 120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0 a/b-2/c/d 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 1 a/b/c/d 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 2 a/b/c/d 100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist, and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path. Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add "a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.

2010-01-07unpack-trees.c: prepare for looking ahead in the indexLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+0
This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that does not match what is in the index. A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this: O A B t t t-i t-i t-i t-j t-j t/1 t/2 The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j" (indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it, it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/". The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at "t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j" and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back to process "t-i". While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit, CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

2009-07-29diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICKLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet. Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET option everywhere.

2009-05-09Avoid unnecessary 'lstat()' calls in 'get_stat_data()'Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+1
When we ask get_stat_data() to get the mode and size of an index entry, we can avoid the lstat() call if we have marked the index entry as being uptodate due to earlier lstat() calls. This avoids a lot of unnecessary lstat() calls in eg 'git checkout', where the last phase shows the differences to the working tree (requiring a diff), but earlier phases have already verified the index. On the kernel repo (with a fast machine and everything cached), this changes timings of a nul 'git checkout' from - Before (best of ten): 0.14user 0.05system 0:00.19elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+13237minor)pagefaults 0swaps - After 0.11user 0.03system 0:00.15elapsed 98%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+13235minor)pagefaults 0swaps so it can obviously be noticeable, although equally obviously it's not a show-stopper on this particular machine. The difference is likely larger on slower machines, or with operating systems that don't do as good a job of name caching.

2009-02-10Generalize and libify index_is_dirty() to index_differs_from(...)Libravatar Stephan Beyer1-0/+15
index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty. This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0). The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h for a list. index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c, so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c. Yet to mention: - "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed. This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index(). - rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

2009-01-11Cleanup of unused symcache variable inside diff-lib.cLibravatar Kjetil Barvik1-29/+11
Commit c40641b77b0274186fd1b327d5dc3246f814aaaf, 'Optimize symlink/directory detection' by Linus Torvalds, removed the 'char *symcache' parameter to the has_symlink_leading_path() function. This made all variables currently named 'symcache' inside diff-lib.c unnecessary. This also let us throw away the 'struct oneway_unpack_data', and instead directly use the 'struct rev_info *revs' member, which was the only member left after removal of the 'symcache[] array' member. The 'struct oneway_unpack_data' was introduced by the following commit: 948dd346 "diff-files: careful when inspecting work tree items" Impact: cleanup PATH_MAX bytes less memory stack usage in some cases Signed-off-by: Kjetil Barvik <barvik@broadpark.no> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-30diff: vary default prefix depending on what are comparedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this will make the distinction stand out for some people. "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree; "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree; "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex; "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity; "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2). Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse diff is in effect and this feature is enabled. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar" should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or "git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an unreliable cute hack. "git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

2008-05-10Optimize symlink/directory detectionLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-5/+5
This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname saner and (much) more efficient. Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an 'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a normal path component. The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a real directory. This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index. [ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index revalidation. We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the directory cache). But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old 'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
