2010-08-31git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch textLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
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.

2010-08-13diff --follow: do call diffcore_std() as necessaryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
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>
2010-08-09Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+1
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.

2010-08-06diff: parse separate options like -S fooLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-0/+7
Change the option parsing logic in revision.c to accept separate forms like `-S foo' in addition to `-Sfoo'. The rest of git already accepted this form, but revision.c still used its own option parsing. Short options affected are -S<string>, -l<num> and -O<orderfile>, for which an empty string wouldn't make sense, hence -<option> <arg> isn't ambiguous. This patch does not handle --stat-name-width and --stat-width, which are special-cases where diff_long_opt do not apply. They are handled in a separate patch to ease review.

Without this patch at least IBM VisualAge C 5.0 (I have 5.0.2) on AIX 5.1 fails to compile git. enum style is inconsistent already, with some enums declared on one line, some over 3 lines with the enum values all on the middle line, sometimes with 1 enum value per line... and independently of that the trailing comma is sometimes present and other times absent, often mixing with/without trailing comma styles in a single file, and sometimes in consecutive enum declarations. Clearly, omitting the comma is the more portable style, and this patch changes all enum declarations to use the portable omitted dangling comma style consistently. Signed-off-by: Gary V.

2010-04-14diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-wordsLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+9
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that supports two new modes: * --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to 'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+} * --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable format: - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as in unified diff - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a tilde '~' Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for --word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some compatibility/convenience options. Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.

2010-03-13git status: ignoring untracked files must apply to submodules tooLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+1
Since 1.7.0 submodules are considered dirty when they contain untracked files. But when git status is called with the "-uno" option, the user asked to ignore untracked files, so they must be ignored in submodules too. To achieve this, the new flag DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_UNTRACKED_IN_SUBMODULES is introduced. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-03-08git status: Show detailed dirty status of submodules in long formatLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-0/+1
Since 1.7.0 there are three reasons a submodule is considered modified against the work tree: It contains new commits, modified content or untracked content. Lets show all reasons in the long format of git status, so the user can better asses the nature of the modification. This change does not affect the short and porcelain formats. Two new members are added to "struct wt_status_change_data" to store the information gathered by run_diff_files(). wt-status.c uses the new flag DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES to tell diff-lib.c it wants to get detailed dirty information about submodules. A hint line for submodules is printed in the dirty header when dirty submodules are present. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2010-01-18Performance optimization for detection of modified submodulesLibravatar Jens Lehmann1-4/+6
In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole submodule tree the first time can be reused instead. New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(), the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again. When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra argument. Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-07unpack-trees.c: look ahead in the indexLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal. When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and (1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also fed to the n_way_merge() callback function; (2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge() callback function; (3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the index, the index entry is first unpacked alone. When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory. All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts. This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system in t6035, test #5. The test prepares these three trees: O = HEAD^ 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/x A = HEAD 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b/c/d 100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb a/x B = master 120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 a/b 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/b-2/c/d 100644 blob e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 a/x With a clean index that matches HEAD, running git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B now yields 120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0 a/b-2/c/d 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 1 a/b/c/d 100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 2 a/b/c/d 100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist, and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path. Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add "a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus. Tests in t1012 start to work with this. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-07-29diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICKLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet. Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET option everywhere.

2009-07-29diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" optionsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Traditionally, the --ignore-whitespace* options have merely meant to tell the diff output routine that some class of differences are not worth showing in the textual diff output, so that the end user has easier time to review the remaining (presumably more meaningful) changes. These options never affected the outcome of the command, given as the exit status when the --exit-code option was in effect (either directly or indirectly). When you have only whitespace changes, however, you might expect git diff -b --exit-code to report that there is _no_ change with zero exit status. Change the semantics of --ignore-whitespace* options to mean more than "omit showing the difference in text". The exit status, when --exit-code is in effect, is computed by checking if we found any differences at the path level, while diff frontends feed filepairs to the diffcore engine. When "ignore whitespace" options are in effect, we defer this determination until the very end of diffcore transformation. We simply do not know until the textual diff is generated, which comes very late in the pipeline. When --quiet is in effect, various diff frontends optimize by breaking out early from the loop that enumerates the filepairs, when we find the first path level difference; when --ignore-whitespace* is used the above change automatically disables this optimization.

2009-02-10Generalize and libify index_is_dirty() to index_differs_from(...)Libravatar Stephan Beyer1-0/+2
index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty. This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0). The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h for a list. index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c, so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c. Yet to mention: - "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed. This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index(). - rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

2009-01-17color-words: take an optional regular expression describing wordsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
In some applications, words are not delimited by white space. To allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing what makes a word with git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+' Note that words cannot contain newline characters. As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the regular expression. Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of a line, and is probably not what you want.

Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate them in things like format-patch. This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing). Because both text conversion and external diffing are controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the "plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the config.

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this will make the distinction stand out for some people. "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree; "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree; "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex; "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity; "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

With this patch, every callback gets a void * parameter, and it is hoped that this will help the libification effort.

2008-05-03diff: make "too many files" rename warning optionalLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
In many cases, the warning ends up as clutter, because the diff is being done "behind the scenes" from the user (e.g., when generating a commit diffstat), and whether we show renames or not is not particularly interesting to the user. However, in the case of a merge (which is what motivated the warning in the first place), it is a useful hint as to why a merge with renames might have failed. This patch makes the warning optional based on the code calling into diffcore. We default to not showing the warning, but turn it on for merges.

2008-02-13diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+3
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 Torvalds1-0/+3
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!

2008-01-04add a "basic" diff config callbackLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color or rename detection. However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but _not_ the color.diff variable. We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where "basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).
