2013-07-19diff: deprecate -q option to diff-filesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
This reimplements the ancient "-q" option to "git diff-files" that was inherited from "show-diff -q" in terms of "--diff-filter=d". We will be deprecating the "-q" option, so let's issue a warning when we do so. Incidentally this also tentatively fixes "git diff --no-index" to honor "-q" and hide deletions; the use will get the same warning. We should remove the support for "-q" in a future version but it is not that urgent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-05-10diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitlyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+6
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command line options. It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set as a default or on explicit request. Update the structure so that this detection is possible: * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR. * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the touched_flags field; * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(), allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of which bits the user touched; * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called at the very beginning to let you inspect touched_flags and update opt->flags appropriately, before the remainder of the diffcore machinery is set up, taking the opt->flags value into account.

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

2012-03-23teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty contentLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of removed and added files with similar or identical content. It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename detection when there is not enough content to produce good results. However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore). This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are interested in using empty files as rename sources and destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for rename sources and destinations. One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file in many directories). A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename" gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with the simple thing.

2012-03-01diff --stat: enable limiting of the graph partLibravatar Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek1-0/+1
A new option --stat-graph-width=<width> can be used to limit the width of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width> columns will be used for the graph. If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width, the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if more columns are available.

2012-02-28pickaxe: allow -i to search in patch case-insensitivelyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the codebase that touched the <string>. As it was designed to be used by a porcelain script to dig the history starting from a block of text that appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an exact match. When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers, however, it is useful to support case insensitive match. When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally was designed to affect case sensitivity of the search done in the commit log part, e.g. "log --grep", the matches made with -S/-G pickaxe search is done case insensitively now.

2011-10-10diff: add option to show whole functions as contextLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff. It is similar to the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks so that the whole surrounding function is shown. This "natural" context can allow changes to be understood better. Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option; it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after changes. git apply doesn't complain. This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep, namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a function. That means that a few lines of extra context are shown, right up to the next recognized function begins. It's already useful in its current form, though. The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as pre-context. It returns the position of the first found matching line. The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need it for -W. The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend the context as needed. If the added context overlaps with the next change, it is merged into the current hunk. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we want color; we can also store whether we want automatic colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color decision closer to the point of use. This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0", which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at "no color".

2011-04-29New --dirstat=lines mode, doing dirstat analysis based on diffstatLibravatar Johan Herland1-0/+1
This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis (as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis) to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed. The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable). For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines, so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but very cheap - heuristic. In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes: time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null vs. time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null vs. time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null yields the following average runtimes on my machine: - "changes" (default): ~6.0 s - "lines": ~9.6 s - "files": ~0.1 s So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes" analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the "lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other --*stat options. The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage text is also omitted. To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly for human consumption. It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can read the intention out of such a patch.

Instead, let's have diffcore pass back the information about how big the rename limit would needed to have been, and then the caller can provide a more appropriate message (and at a more appropriate time). No refactoring of other non-merge callers is necessary, because nobody else was even using the warn_on_rename_limit feature.
