2008-05-24"git diff": do not ignore index without --no-indexLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-323/+0
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>

2008-05-04diff: a submodule not checked out is not modifiedLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+22
948dd34 (diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items, 2008-03-30) made the work tree check careful not to be fooled by a new directory that exists at a place the index expects a blob. For such a change to be a typechange from blob to submodule, the new directory has to be a repository. However, if the index expects a submodule there, we should not insist the work tree entity to be a repository --- a simple directory that is not a full fledged repository (even an empty directory would do) should be considered an unmodified subproject, because that is how a superproject with a submodule is checked out sparsely by default. This makes the function check_work_tree_entity() even more careful not to report a submodule that is not checked out as removed. It fixes the recently added test in t4027.

2008-04-29git-svn: detect and fail gracefully when dcommitting to a voidLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+3
The command git svn clone (URL of an empty SVN repo here) works, creates an empty git repository. I can perform the initial commit there, but then, "git svn dcommit" says : Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at .../git-svn line 414. Committing to ... Unable to determine upstream SVN information from HEAD history I guess a correct management of the initial commit in git-svn would be hard to implement, but at least, the error message can be improved.

2008-03-30diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree itemsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+55
Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree, we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that the user changed it to a gitlink. This is wrong for two reasons: (1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does. (2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned. This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has exposed.

2008-03-10unpack_trees(): fix diff-index regression.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+18
When skip_unmerged option is not given, unpack_trees() should not just skip unmerged cache entries but keep them in the result for the caller to sort them out.

2008-03-09Make 'unpack_trees()' have a separate source and destination indexLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-41/+8
We will always unpack into our own internal index, but we will take the source from wherever specified, and we will optionally write the result to a specified index (optionally, because not everybody even _wants_ any result: the index diffing really wants to just walk the tree and index in parallel). This ends up removing a fair number more lines than it adds, for the simple reason that we can now skip all the crud that tried to be oh-so-careful about maintaining our position in the index as we were traversing and modifying it. Since we don't actually modify the source index any more, we can just update the 'o->pos' pointer without worrying about whether an index entry got removed or replaced or added to.

2008-01-21Make run_diff_index() use unpack_trees(), not read_tree()Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-14/+137
A plain "git commit" would still run lstat() a lot more than necessary, because wt_status_print() would cause the index to be repeatedly flushed and re-read by wt_read_cache(), and that would cause the CE_UPTODATE bit to be lost, resulting in the files in the index being lstat'ed three times each. The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and the tree we want to compare against. So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree. That, in turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it! This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit" on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once. That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings. Best time before: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.399s user 0m0.232s sys 0m0.164s Best time after: [torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null real 0m0.254s user 0m0.140s sys 0m0.112s so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the index!) Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call): Before: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 60.69 0.000704 0 69230 31 lstat 23.62 0.000274 0 5522 getdents 8.36 0.000097 0 5508 2638 open 2.59 0.000030 0 2869 close 2.50 0.000029 0 274 write 1.47 0.000017 0 2844 fstat After: % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 45.17 0.000276 0 5522 getdents 26.51 0.000162 0 23112 31 lstat 19.80 0.000121 0 5503 2638 open 4.91 0.000030 0 2864 close 1.48 0.000020 0 274 write 1.34 0.000018 0 2844 fstat ... It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so.. NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in particular. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-01-21Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core oneLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-18/+14
This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be simpler. In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields. This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do not exist in the on-disk format. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2007-11-10git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contentsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-14diff: squelch empty diffs even moreLibravatar René Scharfe1-2/+6
When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status is not helpful. The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), which only has one diff_options parameter. This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late in the rc game.. The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the suggestion to run git-status.

2007-03-02Add core.symlinks to mark filesystems that do not support symbolic links.Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-0/+3
Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic link, it is impossible to check out the working copy. This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in the database (as long as an entry exists in the index). Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

2007-02-25diff --cc: fix display of symlink conflicts during a merge.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+13
"git-diff-files --cc" to show conflicts during merge did not pass the correct mode information for the working tree down, and showed bogus combined diff. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2007-02-24Evil Merge branch 'jc/status' (early part) into js/diff-niLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+5
* 'jc/status' (early part): run_diff_{files,index}(): update calling convention. update-index: do not die too early in a read-only repository. git-status: do not be totally useless in a read-only repository. This is to resolve semantic conflict (which is not textual) that changes the calling convention of run_diff_files() early.
2007-02-22Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+207
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().

2007-02-22run_diff_{files,index}(): update calling convention.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+1
They used to open and read index themselves, but they now expect their callers to do so. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-16Do not take mode bits from index after type change.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+1
When we do not trust executable bit from lstat(2), we copied existing ce_mode bits without checking if the filesystem object is a regular file (which is the only thing we apply the "trust executable bit" business) nor if the blob in the index is a regular file (otherwise, we should do the same as registering a new regular file, which is to default non-executable). Noticed by Johannes Sixt. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-02-05git-blame: no rev means start from the working tree file.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+43
Warning: this changes the semantics. This makes "git blame" without any positive rev to start digging from the working tree copy, which is made into a fake commit whose sole parent is the HEAD. It also adds --contents <file> option to pretend as if the working tree copy has the contents of the named file. You can use '-' to make the command read from the standard input. If you want the command to start annotating from the HEAD commit, you need to explicitly give HEAD parameter. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-06diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for unmerged entries.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+6
This updates the way diffcore represents an unmerged pair somewhat. It used to be that entries with mode=0 on both sides were used to represent an unmerged pair, but now it has an explicit flag. This is to allow diff-index --cached to report the entry from the tree when the path is unmerged in the index. This is used in updating "git reset <tree> -- <path>" to restore absense of the path in the index from the tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
