If we see an explicit "git diff --no-index ../foo ../bar",
then we do not set up the git repository at all (we already
know we are in --no-index mode, so do not have to check "are
we in a repository?"), and hence have no "prefix" within the
repository. A patch generated by this command will have the
filenames "a/../foo" and "b/../bar", no matter which
directory we are in with respect to any repository.
However, in the implicit case, where we notice that the
files are outside the repository, we will have chdir()'d to
the top-level of the repository. We then feed the prefix
back to the diff machinery. As a result, running the same
diff from a subdirectory will result in paths that look like
"a/subdir/../../foo".
Besides being unnecessarily long, this may also be confusing
to the user: they don't care about the subdir or the
repository at all; it's just where they happened to be when
running the command. We should treat this the same as the
explicit --no-index case.
One way to address this would be to chdir() back to the
original path before running our diff. However, that's a bit
hacky, as we would also need to adjust $GIT_DIR, which could
be a relative path from our top-level.
Instead, we can reuse the diff machinery's RELATIVE_NAME
option, which automatically strips off the prefix. Note that
this _also_ restricts the diff to this relative prefix, but
that's OK for our purposes: we queue our own diff pairs
manually, and do not rely on that part of the diff code.

Prefix is already set up in "revs". The same prefix should be used for
all options parsing. So kill the last argument. This patch does not
actually change anything because the only caller does use the same
prefix for init_revisions() and diff_no_index().

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).

When a commit changes a path P that used to be a file to a directory
and creates a new path P/X in it, "git show" would say that file P
was removed and file P/X was created for such a commit.
However, if we compare two directories, D1 and D2, where D1 has a
file D1/P in it and D2 has a directory D2/P under which there is a
file D2/P/X, and ask "git diff --no-index D1 D2" to show their
differences, we simply get a refusal "file/directory conflict".
Surely, that may be what GNU diff does, but we can do better and it
is easy to do so.

"git diff --no-index" was supposed to be a poor-man's approach to
allow using Git diff goodies outside of a Git repository, without
having to patch mainstream diff implementations.
Unlike a POSIX diff that treats "diff D F" (or "diff F D") as a
request to compare D/F and F (or F and D/F) when D is a directory
and F is a file, however, we did not accept such a command line and
instead barfed with "file/directory conflict".
Imitate what POSIX diff does and append the basename of the file
after the name of the directory before comparing.

"diff --no-index -Mq a b" fell into an infinite loop.
* jc/fix-diff-no-index-diff-opt-parse:
diff-no-index: correctly diagnose error return from diff_opt_parse()
|
|
diff_opt_parse() returns the number of options parsed, or often
returns error() which is defined to return -1. Yes, return value of
0 is "I did not process that option at all", which should cause the
caller to say that, but negative return should not be forgotten.
This bug caused "diff --no-index" to infinitely show the same error
message because the returned value was used to decrement the loop
control variable, e.g.
$ git diff --no-index --color=words a b
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
...
Instead, make it act like so:
$ git diff --no-index --color=words a b
error: option `color' expects "always", "auto", or "never"
fatal: invalid diff option/value: --color=words

"git diff-files --diff-filter=d" can be used instead.

Currently the --no-index option is parsed in diff_no_index(). Move the
detection if a no-index diff should be executed to builtin/diff.c, where
we can use it for executing diff_no_index() conditionally. This will
also allow us to execute other operations conditionally, which will be
done in the next patch.

This reimplements the ancient "-q" option to "git diff-files" that
was inherited from "show-diff -q" in terms of "--diff-filter=d". We
will be deprecating the "-q" option, so let's issue a warning when
we do so.
Incidentally this also tentatively fixes "git diff --no-index" to
honor "-q" and hide deletions; the use will get the same warning.
We should remove the support for "-q" in a future version but it is

Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.
Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead,
defined as follows:
#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
# define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
#endif
After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

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).

Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the
low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code,
even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison
that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read
from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath
further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the
core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual
diff operation.

Only "diff --no-index -" does. Bolting the logic into the low-level
function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day
one. Move populate_from_stdin() function out of the generic diff.c
to its only user, diff-index.c.
Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read
from the standard input", even if we later decide to sanitize the
result from prefix_filename() function in a few obvious ways,
e.g. removing unnecessary "./" prefix, duplicated slashes "//" in
the middle, etc.

Regardless of where in the directory hierarchy you are, "-" on the
command line means the standard input. The old code knew too much
about how the low level machinery uses paths to read from the

When running 'git diff --quiet <file1> <file2>', if file1 or file2
is outside the repository, it will exit(0) even if the files differ.
It should exit(1) when they differ.
This happens because 'diff_no_index' looks at the 'found_changes'
member from 'diff_options' to determine if changes were made. This
is the wrong thing to do, since it is only set if xdiff is actually
run and it finds a change (the diff machinery will optimize out the
xdiff call when it is not necessary) and in that case HAS_CHANGED
flag needs to be taken into account.
Use diff_result_code() that knows all these details for the correct
exit value instead.

There is no point in running a pager when --quiet is given,
since we are producing no output. The regular diff code path
handles this already, because --quiet implies --exit-code,
and we check for --exit-code when deciding not to run the
pager.
However, the "quiet implies exit-code" logic is done in
diff_setup_done, and the no-index code path sets up its
pager before running diff_setup_done, and misses this case.
We can fix this by reordering our initialization.
Currently we do:
1. read command line arguments into diff_options
2. Set pager if EXIT_CODE not requested
3. always set EXIT_CODE, since we are emulating
traditional diff
4. call diff_setup_done
We can fix the problem by moving pager initialization (step
2) after step 4. But step 3 must come after step 2 (since we
want to know whether the _user_ requested --exit-code, not
whether we turned it on unconditionally). So we must move
both.

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its
pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing
whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified. After
diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c
(git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff
frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from
cmd_diff to turn on the pager.
Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be
enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in
cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version
in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that
git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b
would not use a pager, but
git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b
would. Let's fix it by factoring out a common function.
While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment,
which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the
exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn
pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).

Commit 875b91b (diff --no-index: use strbuf for temporary pathnames,
2012-04-25) introduced a regression when using diff --no-index with
directories. When iterating through a directory, the switch to strbuf
from heap-allocated char arrays caused paths to form like 'dir/file1',
'dir/file1file2', rather than 'dir/file1', 'dir/file2' as expected.
Avoid this by resetting the paths variables to their original length
before each iteration.
