2015-05-26diff.c: --ws-error-highlight=<kind> optionLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Traditionally, we only cared about whitespace breakages introduced in new lines. Some people want to paint whitespace breakages on old lines, too. When they see a whitespace breakage on a new line, they can spot the same kind of whitespace breakage on the corresponding old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now." Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, and `context` to specify what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.

2014-06-03Merge branch 'ks/tree-diff-nway'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+9
Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a N-parent merge, find the set of paths that were touched by walking N+1 trees in parallel. These set of paths can then be turned into N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename detections and such. And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual 2-way diff-tree, which is very nice. * ks/tree-diff-nway: mingw: activate alloca combine-diff: speed it up, by using multiparent diff tree-walker directly tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well Portable alloca for Git tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion tree-diff: no need to call "full" diff_tree_sha1 from show_path() tree-diff: rework diff_tree interface to be sha1 based tree-diff: diff_tree() should now be static tree-diff: remove special-case diff-emitting code for empty-tree cases tree-diff: simplify tree_entry_pathcmp tree-diff: show_path prototype is not needed anymore tree-diff: rename compare_tree_entry -> tree_entry_pathcmp tree-diff: move all action-taking code out of compare_tree_entry() tree-diff: don't assume compare_tree_entry() returns -1,0,1 tree-diff: consolidate code for emitting diffs and recursion in one place tree-diff: show_tree() is not needed tree-diff: no need to pass match to skip_uninteresting() tree-diff: no need to manually verify that there is no mode change for a path combine-diff: move changed-paths scanning logic into its own function combine-diff: move show_log_first logic/action out of paths scanning
2014-04-07tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as wellLibravatar Kirill Smelkov1-0/+9
Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes a commit introduces. In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge, but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once. For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent. The code lives in combine-diff.c . There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g. revision-walker . That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several dozens of plain commits. That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2) just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files from diff(commit,commit^1). That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff property/definition: D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn) (w.r.t. paths) where D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi and D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n 1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow. And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem. The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip* *recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant amount of needless work. Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the logic is a bit more complex: D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme ------------------------------- D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn) (regarding resulting paths set) D(T,Pj) - diff between T..Pj D(T,P1...Pn) - combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in lock-step: T P1 Pn - - - |t| |p1| |pn| |-| |--| ... |--| imin = argmin(p1...pn) | | | | | | |-| |--| |--| |.| |. | |. | . . . . . . at any time there could be 3 cases: 1) t < p[imin]; 2) t > p[imin]; 3) t = p[imin]. Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows: 1) t < p[imin] -> ∀j t ∉ Pj -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> D += "+t"; t↓ 2) t > p[imin] 2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj) -> D += ø; ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ 2.2) ∀i pi = p[imin] -> pi ∉ T -> "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi) -> D += "-p[imin]"; ∀i pi↓ 3) t = p[imin] 3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin] -> "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj) -> only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate 3.2) pi = p[imin] -> investigate δ(t,pi) | | v 3.1+3.2) looking at δ(t,pi) ∀i: pi=p[imin] - if all != ø -> ⎧δ(t,pi) - if pi=p[imin] -> D += ⎨ ⎩"+t" - if pi>p[imin] in any case t↓ ∀ pi=p[imin] pi↓ ~ For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works: D(A,B) calculation scheme ------------------------- A B - - |a| |b| a < b -> a ∉ B -> D(A,B) += +a a↓ |-| |-| a > b -> b ∉ A -> D(A,B) += -b b↓ | | | | a = b -> investigate δ(a,b) a↓ b↓ |-| |-| |.| |.| . . . . ~~~~~~~~ This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on the fact that usual diff D(A,B) is by definition the same as combined diff D(A,[B]), so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating combine-diff. What we do is as follows: 1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for every parent which sha1,mode it was in it. 2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case. (see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only()) 3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES)) to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but incrementally, one diff path at a time. For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options introduced: ->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *) which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path. (see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths generator for setup) 4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation scheme" provided above: On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was earlier just for one parent tree. then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the algorithm. Some notes(*): 1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free() the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a portability problem. 2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ. Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts performance. 3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5% of potential additional slowdown. 4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit faster with lowered register pressure. Also - we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case, when a path was removed from some of all parents having it. The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see "a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed for being copies sources. The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as removal. ~~~~~~~~ Timings for # without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` before and after the patch are as follows: navy.git linux.git v3.10..v3.11 before 0.611s 1.889s after 0.619s 1.907s slowdown 1.3% 0.9% This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation. From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case, net timings stays approximately the same. The output also stayed the same. (*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case, we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as "do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule. For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff generation there. P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly filesystem, there is initial scan with `git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c` to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a map {} sha1 -> in which commit (and date) a content was added that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full, i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it. That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup. Signed-off-by: Kirill Smelkov <kirr@mns.spb.ru> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

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.

Because the default Myers, patience and histogram algorithms cannot be in effect at the same time, XDL_PATIENCE_DIFF and XDL_HISTOGRAM_DIFF are not independent bits. Instead of wasting one bit per algorithm, define a few macros to access the few bits they occupy and update the code that access them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-02-03Use correct grammar in diffstat summary lineLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+3
"git diff --stat" and "git apply --stat" now learn to print the line "%d files changed, %d insertions(+), %d deletions(-)" in singular form whenever applicable. "0 insertions" and "0 deletions" are also omitted unless they are both zero. This matches how versions of "diffstat" that are not prehistoric produced their output, and also makes this line translatable.

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>

2011-08-18diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an intLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
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". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not propagated at all. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Often one is interested in the full --stat output only for commits which change a few files, but not others, because larger restructuring gives a --stat which fills a few screens. Introduce a new option --stat-count=<count> which limits the --stat output to the first <count> lines, followed by a "..." line. It can also be given as the third parameter in --stat=<width>,<name-width>,<count>. Also, the unstuck form is supported analogous to the other two stat parameters.
