Remove a confusing and deprecated "-q" option from "git diff-files"; "git diff-files --diff-filter=d" can be used instead.
2013-12-12diff: move no-index detection to builtin/diff.cLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-43/+1
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. There are no functional changes.

2013-07-19diff: remove "diff-files -q" in a version of Git in a distant futureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+0

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 not that urgent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-05-08mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVELibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
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.

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
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).

2012-07-13Merge branch 'jc/refactor-diff-stdin'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-30/+53
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. * jc/refactor-diff-stdin: diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard input diff-index.c: unify handling of command line paths diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs

2012-06-28diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard inputLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+41
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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-06-28diff-index.c: unify handling of command line pathsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-16/+11
Regardless of where in the directory hierarchy you are, "-" on the command line means the standard input.

2012-06-22diff-no-index: exit(1) if 'diff --quiet <repo file> <external file>' finds ↵Libravatar Tim Henigan1-1/+1
changes 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. Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-06-15do not run pager with diff --no-index --quietLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
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.

2012-06-15fix pager.diff with diff --no-indexLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+1
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.

We display empty diffs for files whose timestamps have changed. Usually, refreshing the index makes those empty diffs go away.
