2011-02-21bump rename limit defaults (again)Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We did this once before in 5070591 (bump rename limit defaults, 2008-04-30). Back then, we were shooting for about 1 second for a diff/log calculation, and 5 seconds for a merge. There are a few new things to consider, though: 1. Average processors are faster now. 2. We've seen on the mailing list some ugly merges where not using inexact rename detection leads to many more conflicts. Merges of this size take a long time anyway, so users are probably happy to spend a little bit of time computing the renames. Let's bump the diff/merge default limits from 200/500 to 400/1000. Those are 2 seconds and 10 seconds respectively on my modern hardware. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-12-19fill_textconv(): Don't get/put cache if sha1 is not validLibravatar Kirill Smelkov1-2/+2
When blaming files in the working tree, the filespec is marked with !sha1_valid, as we have not given the contents an object name yet. The function to cache textconv results (keyed on the object name), however, didn't check this condition, and ended up on storing the cached result under a random object name.

2010-09-23diff: don't use pathname-based diff drivers for symlinksLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+8
When we're diffing symlinks, we consider the contents to be the pathname that the symlink points to. When a user sets up a userdiff driver like "*.pdf diff=pdf", their "diff.pdf.*" config generally tells us what to do with the content of pdf files. With the current code, we will actually process a symlink like "link.pdf" using a configured pdf driver, meaning we are using contents which consist of a pathname with configuration that is expecting contents that consist of an actual pdf file. The most noticeable example of this would have been textconv; however, it was already protected in its own textconv-specific code path. We can still see the breakage with something like "diff.*.binary", though. You could also see it with diff.*.funcname, though it is a bit harder to trigger accidentally there. This patch adds a check for S_ISREG lower in the callstack than the textconv-specific check, which should block use of any userdiff config for non-regular files. We can drop the check in the textconv code, which is now redundant. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-08-31git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch textLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the "git diff" family of commands. This limits the diff queue to filepairs whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the given regexp. Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a patch text. Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be used as the top-level Porcelain feature. The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output (e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch"). I think we _could_ cache the result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

2010-08-16hash binary sha1 into patch idLibravatar Clemens Buchacher1-0/+7
Since commit 2f82f760 (Take binary diffs into account for "git rebase"), binary files are included in patch ID computation. Binary files are diffed using the text diff algorithm, however, which has a huge impact on performance. The following tests performance for a 50000 line file marked as binary in .gitattributes. $ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master real 0m0.367s user 0m0.354s sys 0m0.010s Instead of diffing the binary files, hash the pre- and post-image sha1, which is just as unique. As a result, performance is much improved. $ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master real 0m0.016s user 0m0.015s sys 0m0.001s Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-13diff --follow: do call diffcore_std() as necessaryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-14/+13
Usually, diff frontends populate the output queue with filepairs without any rename information and call diffcore_std() to sort the renames out. When --follow is in effect, however, diff-tree family of frontend has a hack that looks like this: diff-tree frontend -> diff_tree_sha1() . populate diff_queued_diff . if --follow is in effect and there is only one change that creates the target path, then -> try_to_follow_renames() -> diff_tree_sha1() with no pathspec but with -C -> diffcore_std() to find renames . if rename is found, tweak diff_queued_diff and put a single filepair that records the found rename there -> diffcore_std() . tweak elements on diff_queued_diff by - rename detection - path ordering - pickaxe filtering We need to skip parts of the second call to diffcore_std() that is related to rename detection, and do so only when try_to_follow_renames() did find a rename. Earlier 1da6175 (Make diffcore_std only can run once before a diff_flush, 2010-05-06) tried to deal with this issue incorrectly; it unconditionally disabled any second call to diffcore_std(). This hopefully fixes the breakage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-11diff: strip extra "/" when stripping prefixLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-2/+8
There are two ways a user might want to use "diff --relative": 1. For a file in a directory, like "subdir/file", the user can use "--relative=subdir/" to strip the directory. 2. To strip part of a filename, like "foo-10", they can use "--relative=foo-". We currently handle both of those situations. However, if the user passes "--relative=subdir" (without the trailing slash), we produce inconsistent results. For the unified diff format, we collapse the double-slash of "a//file" correctly into "a/file". But for other formats (raw, stat, name-status), we end up with "/file". We can do what the user means here and strip the extra "/" (and only a slash). We are not hurting any existing users of (2) above with this behavior change because the existing output for this case was nonsensical. Patch by Jakub, tests and commit message by Jeff King.

2010-08-09Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config settingLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+5
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous (< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk caches are constantly overloaded. To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it is per-submodule. This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default (porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore setting and by the --ignore-submodules option. Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic: multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously set flags. While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-09Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-6/+29
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.

2010-06-25Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"Libravatar Jens Lehmann1-11/+4
In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" 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 (this was the behavior before 1.7.0). 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 when using the "dirty" parameter. And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the output of the submodule summary). A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already knew it.
