2005-10-07Show original and resulting blob object info in diff output.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-20/+57
This adds more cruft to diff --git header to record the blob SHA1 and the mode the patch/diff is intended to be applied against, to help the receiving end fall back on a three-way merge. The new header looks like this: diff --git a/apply.c b/apply.c index 7be5041..8366082 100644 --- a/apply.c +++ b/apply.c @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ // files that are being modified, but doesn't apply the patch // --stat does just a diffstat, and doesn't actually apply +// --show-index-info shows the old and new index info for... ... Upon receiving such a patch, if the patch did not apply cleanly to the target tree, the recipient can try to find the matching old objects in her object database and create a temporary tree, apply the patch to that temporary tree, and attempt a 3-way merge between the patched temporary tree and the target tree using the original temporary tree as the common ancestor. The patch lifts the code to compute the hash for an on-filesystem object from update-index.c and makes it available to the diff output routine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-09-10Fix copy marking from diffcore-rename.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
When (A,B) ==> (B,C) rename-copy was detected, we incorrectly said that C was created by copying B. This is because we only check if the path of rename/copy source still exists in the resulting tree to see if the file is renamed out of existence. In this case, the new B is created by copying or renaming A, so the original B is lost and we should say C is a rename of B not a copy of B. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2005-08-13[PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair()Libravatar Yasushi SHOJI1-5/+4
When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so much memory. so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on. diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself. [jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's patch. The original idea was to use free_filespec_data() only to free the data portion and keep useing the filespec itself, but no existing code seems to do things that way, so I just yanked that part out.] Signed-off-by: Yasushi SHOJI <yashi@atmark-techno.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

I have reviewed all occurrences of mmap() in git and fixed three types of errors/defects: 1) The result is not checked. 2) The file descriptor is closed if mmap() succeeds, but not when it fails. 3) Various casts applied to -1 are used instead of MAP_FAILED, which is specifically defined to check mmap() return value. [jc: This is a second round of Pavel's patch.

This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero- termination.

2005-06-19[PATCH] Rework -B output.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-70/+159
Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review for human consumer while keeping it a single, regular modification patch for machine consumption, something that even GNU patch can grok.

2005-06-12[PATCH] Add --diff-filter= output restriction to diff-* family.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+66
This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions: - A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D (deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them. - The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option). For example, $ git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or rename.

2005-06-12[PATCH] Fix rename/copy when dealing with temporarily broken pairs.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
When rename/copy uses a file that was broken by diffcore-break as the source, and the broken filepair gets merged back later, the output was mislabeled as a rename.

2005-06-03[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+16
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite" should be done by looking at the amount of original material still left in the result. If you still have the original 97 lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903 lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a 30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line document. You did a complete rewrite in either case. This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates. The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete" a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%) for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and 75% for merge avoidance.

2005-06-01[PATCH] diff: mode bits fixesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+7
The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644 pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine, which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a similar way. Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository itself.

2005-05-30[PATCH] Show dissimilarity index for D and N case.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+18
The way broken deletes and creates are shown in the -p (diff-patch) output format has become consistent with how rename/copy edits are shown. They will show "dissimilarity index" value, immediately following the "deleted file mode" and "new file mode" lines. The git-apply is taught to grok such an extended header.

2005-05-30[PATCH] Add -O<orderfile> option to diff-* brothers.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+4
A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are output before patches that match a later line, and patches that do not match any glob pattern are output last. A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like this: README Makefile Documentation *.h *.c Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-30[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+18
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced. When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch. The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and defaults to 99% if not specified. As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens: The original change looks like this: file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0) file1 --> /dev/null After diffcore-break runs, it would become this: file0 --> /dev/null /dev/null --> file0' file1 --> /dev/null Then diffcore-rename matches them up: file1 --> file0' The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

2005-05-30[PATCH] diff: further cleanup.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
When preparing data to feed the external diff, we should give the mode we obtained from the caller, even when we are dealing with a file with 0{40} SHA1 (i.e. the caller said "look at the filesystem"), since the mode passed by the caller via diff_addremove() or diff_change() is always trustworthy. This is _not_ a bugfix --- the existing code stat() on the file ifself and does the same computation on st.st_mode to compute the mode the same way the caller did to give the original mode. We cannot remove the stat() call from here, but the extra computation to create the mode value is unnecessary.

2005-05-29[PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdinLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+81
This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers. When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first. This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact copy of that blob already expanded. Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it has already seen in memory.

2005-05-29[PATCH] Fix the way diffcore-rename records unremoved source.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-39/+37
Earier version of diffcore-rename used to keep unmodified filepair in its output so that the last stage of the processing that tells renames from copies can make all of rename/copy to copies. However this had a bad interaction with other diffcore filters that wanted to run after diffcore-rename, in that such unmodified filepair must be retained for proper distinction between renames and copies to happen. This patch fixes the problem by changing the way diffcore-rename records the information needed to distinguish "all are copies" case and "the last one is a rename" case.

2005-05-26[PATCH] Diff updates to express type changesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+36
With the introduction of type 'T' in the diff-raw output, and the "apply-patch" program Linus has been quietly working on without much advertisement, it started to make sense to emit usable information in the "diff --git" patch output format as well. Earlier built-in diff driver punted and did not say anything about a symbolic link changing into a file or vice versa, but this version represents it as a pair of deletion and creation. It also fixes a minor problem dealing with old archive created with ancient git. The earlier code was reporting file mode change between 100664 and 100644 (we shouldn't). The linux-2.6 git tree has a good example that exposes this problem. A good test case is commit ce1dc02f76432a46db149241e015a4f782974623.
