2008-06-28show_stats(): fix stats width calculationLibravatar Olivier Marin1-6/+6
Before this patch, name_width becomes negative or null for width values less than 15 and name_width values greater than 25 (default: 50). This leads to output random data. This patch checks for minimal width and name_width values. Signed-off-by: Olivier Marin <dkr@freesurf.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The function name was too bland and not explicit enough as to what it is checking.

* maint: diff: reset color before printing newline
2008-06-16diff: reset color before printing newlineLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-0/+4
It worked that way since commit 50f575fc (Tweak diff colors, 2006-06-22), but commit c1795bb0 (Unify whitespace checking, 2007-12-13) changed it. This patch restores the old behaviour. Besides Linus' arguments in the log message of 50f575fc, resetting color before printing newline is also important to keep 'git add --patch' happy. If the last line(s) of a file are removed, then that hunk will end with a colored line. However, if the newline comes before the color reset, then the diff output will have an additional line at the end containing only the reset sequence. This causes trouble in git-add--interactive.perl's parse_diff function, because @colored will have one more element than @diff, and that last element will contain the color reset. The elements of these arrays will then be copied to @hunk, but only as many as the number of elements in @diff. As a result the last color reset is lost and all subsequent terminal output will be printed in color. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder@ira.uka.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-14avoid trailing whitespace in zero-change diffstat linesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
In some cases, we produce a diffstat line even though no lines have changed (e.g., because of an exact rename). In this case, there is no +/- "graph" after the number of changed lines. However, we output the space separator unconditionally, meaning that these lines contained a trailing space character. This isn't a huge problem, but in cleaning up the output we are able to eliminate some trailing whitespace from a test vector.

The new option --ignore-submodules can now be used to ignore changes in submodules. Why? Sometimes it is not interesting when a submodule changed. For example, when reordering some commits in the superproject, a dirty submodule is usually totally uninteresting. So we will use this option in git-rebase to test for a dirty working tree.

2008-05-03bump rename limit defaultsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
The current rename limit default of 100 was arbitrarily chosen. Testing[1] has shown that on modern hardware, a limit of 200 adds about a second of computation time, and a limit of 500 adds about 5 seconds of computation time. This patch bumps the default limit to 200 for viewing diffs, and to 500 for performing a merge. The limit for generating git-status templates is set independently; we bump it up to 200 here, as well, to match the diff limit.

2008-03-02diff: make sure work tree side is shown as 0{40} when differentLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+2
Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so. There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read from the submodule repository HEAD. When ce_stat_match() says work tree is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side. This patch fixes the issue, and adds tests. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

While we are at it, drop "..." in the "git reset" output that reports the location of the new HEAD, between the abbreviated commit object name and the one line commit summary. Because we are always showing the HEAD (which cannot be missing!), we never had a case where we show the full 40 hexdigits that is not followed by three dots, and these three dots were stealing 3 columns from the precious horizontal screen real estate out of 80 that can better be used for the one line commit summary.

2008-02-22Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.Libravatar Jim Meyering1-6/+3
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests. E.g., it replaces code like this: if (some_expression) free (some_expression); with the now-equivalent: free (some_expression); It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL) to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test. Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following: git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \ perl -0x3b -pi -e \ 's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s' Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like "if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like that in git sources. Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the affected "if"-statement has a matching "else". E.g., it would transform this if (x) free (x); else foo (); into this: free (x); else foo (); There were none of those here, either. If you're interested in automating detection of the useless tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib: [it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S option to make it detect free-like functions with different names] http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free Addendum: Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

2008-02-13diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-17/+83
This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start from a subdirectory: $ git diff --relative shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory, and without $prefix part. People who usually live in subdirectories may like it. There are a few things I should also mention about the change: - This works not just with diff but also works with the log family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected. In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say: $ git log --relative -p but it will show the log message even for commits that do not touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving pathspec yourself: $ git log --relative -p . This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory but show the changes with full context. I think it makes more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current subdirectory, which would break the symmetry. - Because this works also with the log family, you could format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your subdirectory, like so: $ cd gitk-git $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will never become the default, with or without repository or user preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did so. - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the combined use of the options, but probably I should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-12Add "--dirstat" for some directory statisticsLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+89
This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated directory structure with semantic meaning. What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves. What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_ subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in themselves. So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should show up as under the more generic top-level directory. This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either something simple like commit 81772fe...

I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own. So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se, because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs, 7.6% of fuse etc. If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory. That cumulative output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to the root. For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes commit e231c2e...

The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be at 5% instead) NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed, not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count, but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories). Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me, but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc. But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out git log --dirstat and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/, gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4 which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general, the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and doing a git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1 on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

2008-02-06safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-1/+1
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds.

2008-01-21Avoid running lstat(2) on the same cache entry.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+14
Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This patch is not about reducing them. * It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have to be checked with lstat(2) again. * fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot fo callers: - git-apply --index - git-update-index - git-checkout-index - git-add (uses add_file_to_index()) - git-commit (ditto) - git-mv (ditto) * refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean with CE_UPTODATE. * write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to prevent an accident from happening. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
