2019-11-18diff: move doc to diff.h and diffcore.hLibravatar Heba Waly1-0/+126
Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-diff.txt to both diff.h and diffcore.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file. Also documentation/technical/api-diff.txt is removed because the information it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and synchronized with the documentation in the header files. There are three members documented in the doc file that weren't found in the header files, assuming the doc wasn't up to date and the members no longer exist: touched_flags, COLOR_DIFF_WORDS and QUIET.

2019-07-11range-diff: suppress line count in outer diffLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-0/+1
The line count in the outer diff's hunk headers of a range diff is not all that interesting. It merely shows how far along the inner diff are on both sides. That number is of no use for human readers, and range-diffs are not meant to be machine readable. In a subsequent commit we're going to add some more contextual information such as the filename corresponding to the diff to the hunk headers. Remove the unnecessary information, and just keep the "@@" to indicate that a new hunk of the outer diff is starting.

2019-05-29diff-parseopt: correct variable types that are used by parseoptLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
Most number-related OPT_ macros store the value in an 'int' variable. Many of the variables in 'struct diff_options' have a different type, but during the conversion to using parse_options() I failed to notice and correct. The problem was reported on s360x which is a big-endian architechture. The variable to store '-w' option in this case is xdl_opts, 'long' type, 8 bytes. But since parse_options() assumes 'int' (4 bytes), it will store bits in the wrong part of xdl_opts. The problem was found on little-endian platforms because parse_options() will accidentally store at the right part of xdl_opts. There aren't much to say about the type change (except that 'int' for xdl_opts should still be big enough, since Windows' long is the same size as 'int' and nobody has complained so far). Some safety checks may be implemented in the future to prevent class of bugs.

2019-02-24diff: reuse diff setup for --no-index caseLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
When "--no-index" is in effect (or implied by the arguments), git-diff jumps early to a special code path to perform that diff. This means we miss out on some settings like enabling --ext-diff and --textconv by default. Let's jump to the no-index path _after_ we've done more setup on rev.diffopt. Since some of the options don't affect us (e.g., items related to the index), let's re-order the setup into two blocks (see the in-code comments). Note that we also need to stop re-initializing the diffopt struct in diff_no_index(). This should not be necessary, as it will already have been initialized by cmd_diff() (and there are no other callers). That in turn lets us drop the "repository" argument from diff_no_index (which never made much sense, since the whole point is that you don't need a repository).

2019-02-07log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths optionLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if rename or copy detection is active. For example, with raw format one might see: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM desc.c desc.c desc.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent.

2019-01-27diff.c: prepare to use parse_options() for parsingLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+2
This is a preparation step to start using parse_options() to parse diff/revision options instead of what we have now. There are a couple of good things from using parse_options(): - better help usage - easier to add new options - better completion support - help usage generation - better integration with main command option parser. We can just concat the main command's option array and diffopt's together and parse all in one go. - detect colidding options (e.g. --reverse is used by revision code, so diff code can't use it as long name for -R) - consistent syntax, e.g. option that takes mandatory argument will now accept both "--option=value" and "--option value". The plan is migrate all diff/rev options to parse_options(). Then we could get rid of diff_opt_parse() and expose parseopts[] directly to the caller.

2018-08-13range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color modeLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+7
It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer" diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something different than the old diff. To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff, i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old" commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit). However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough, as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color). Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines that are only in the new commit. That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be bold. At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs that way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When diffing diffs, it can be quite daunting to figure out what the heck is going on, as there are nested +/- signs. Let's make this easier by adding a flag in diff_options that allows color-coding the outer diff sign with inverted colors, so that the preimage and postimage is colored like the diff it is. Of course, this really only makes sense when the preimage and postimage *are* diffs. So let's not expose this flag via a command-line option for now. This is a feature that was invented by git-tbdiff, and it will be used by `git range-diff` in the next commit, by offering it via a new option: `--dual-color`.

2018-07-19diff.c: add white space mode to move detection that allows indent changesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+3
The option of --color-moved has proven to be useful as observed on the mailing list. However when refactoring sometimes the indentation changes, for example when partitioning a functions into smaller helper functions the code usually mostly moved around except for a decrease in indentation. To just review the moved code ignoring the change in indentation, a mode to ignore spaces in the move detection as implemented in a previous patch would be enough. However the whole move coloring as motivated in commit 2e2d5ac (diff.c: color moved lines differently, 2017-06-30), brought up the notion of the reviewer being able to trust the move of a "block". As there are languages such as python, which depend on proper relative indentation for the control flow of the program, ignoring any white space change in a block would not uphold the promises of 2e2d5ac that allows reviewers to pay less attention to the inside of a block, as inside the reviewer wants to assume the same program flow. This new mode of white space ignorance will take this into account and will only allow the same white space changes per line in each block. This patch even allows only for the same change at the beginning of the lines. As this is a white space mode, it is made exclusive to other white space modes in the move detection. This patch brings some challenges, related to the detection of blocks. We need a wide net to catch the possible moved lines, but then need to narrow down to check if the blocks are still intact. Consider this example (ignoring block sizes): - A - B - C + A + B + C At the beginning of a block when checking if there is a counterpart for A, we have to ignore all space changes. However at the following lines we have to check if the indent change stayed the same. Checking if the indentation change did stay the same, is done by computing the indentation change by the difference in line length, and then assume the change is only in the beginning of the longer line, the common tail is the same. That is why the test contains lines like: - <TAB> A ... + A <TAB> ... As the first line starting a block is caught using a compare function that ignores white spaces unlike the rest of the block, where the white space delta is taken into account for the comparison, we also have to think about the following situation: - A - B - A - B + A + B + A + B When checking if the first A (both in the + and - lines) is a start of a block, we have to check all 'A' and record all the white space deltas such that we can find the example above to be just one block that is indented.

2018-07-17diff.c: decouple white space treatment from move detection algorithmLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+1
In the original implementation of the move detection logic the choice for ignoring white space changes is the same for the move detection as it is for the regular diff. Some cases came up where different treatment would have been nice. Allow the user to specify that white space should be ignored differently during detection of moved lines than during generation of added and removed lines. This is done by providing analogs to the --ignore-space-at-eol, -b, and -w options by introducing the option --color-moved-ws=<modes> with the modes named "ignore-space-at-eol", "ignore-space-change" and "ignore-all-space", which is used only during the move detection phase. As we change the default, we'll adjust the tests. For now we do not infer any options to treat white spaces in the move detection from the generic white space options given to diff. This can be tuned later to reasonable default. As we plan on adding more white space related options in a later patch, that interferes with the current white space options, use a flag field and clamp it down to XDF_WHITESPACE_FLAGS, as that (a) allows to easily check at parse time if we give invalid combinations and (b) can reuse parts of this patch. By having the white space treatment in its own option, we'll also make it easier for a later patch to have an config option for spaces in the move detection.

2018-05-08merge: add merge.renames config settingLibravatar Ben Peart1-0/+1
Add the ability to control rename detection for merge via a config setting. This setting behaves the same and defaults to the value of diff.renames but only applies to merge.

2018-03-14Merge branch 'nd/diff-stat-with-summary'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
"git diff" and friends learned "--compact-summary" that shows the information usually given with the "--summary" option on the same line as the diffstat output of the "--stat" option (which saves vertical space and keeps info on a single path at the same place). * nd/diff-stat-with-summary: diff: add --compact-summary diff.c: refactor pprint_rename() to use strbuf
2018-02-27diff: add --compact-summaryLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+1
Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the same file is in two places (--stat and --summary). On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of files. --compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with commit 0433d533f1: Documentation/merge-config.txt | 4 + builtin/merge.c | 2 + ...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++ t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 ++++++++ 4 files changed, 132 insertions(+) It helps both condensing information and saving some text space. What's new in diffstat is: - A new 0644 file is shown as (new) - A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x) - A new symlink is shown as (new +l) - A deleted file is shown as (gone) - A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x) - A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x) Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information --summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be added later, like R50% or C20%. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-01-04diffcore: add a pickaxe option to find a specific blobLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+7
Sometimes users are given a hash of an object and they want to identify it further (ex.: Use verify-pack to find the largest blobs, but what are these? or [1]) One might be tempted to extend git-describe to also work with blobs, such that `git describe <blob-id>` gives a description as '<commit-ish>:<path>'. This was implemented at [2]; as seen by the sheer number of responses (>110), it turns out this is tricky to get right. The hard part to get right is picking the correct 'commit-ish' as that could be the commit that (re-)introduced the blob or the blob that removed the blob; the blob could exist in different branches. Junio hinted at a different approach of solving this problem, which this patch implements. Teach the diff machinery another flag for restricting the information to what is shown. For example: $ ./git log --oneline --find-object=v2.0.0:Makefile b2feb64309 Revert the whole "ask curl-config" topic for now 47fbfded53 i18n: only extract comments marked with "TRANSLATORS:" we observe that the Makefile as shipped with 2.0 was appeared in v1.9.2-471-g47fbfded53 and in v2.0.0-rc1-5-gb2feb6430b. The reason why these commits both occur prior to v2.0.0 are evil merges that are not found using this new mechanism.

2018-01-04diff: introduce DIFF_PICKAXE_KINDS_MASKLibravatar Stefan Beller1-0/+2
Currently the check whether to perform pickaxing is done via checking `diffopt->pickaxe`, which contains the command line argument that we want to pickaxe for. Soon we'll introduce a new type of pickaxing, that will not store anything in the `.pickaxe` field, so let's migrate the check to be dependent on pickaxe_opts. It is not enough to just replace the check for pickaxe by pickaxe_opts, because flags might be set, but pickaxing was not requested ('-i'). To cope with that, introduce a mask to check only for the bits indicating the modes of operation. Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Teach diff a new algorithm, one that attempts to prevent user-specified lines from appearing as a deletion or addition in the end result. The end user can use this by specifying "--anchored=<text>" one or more times when using Git commands like "diff" and "show".
