2008-02-18Add color.ui variable which globally enables colorization if setLibravatar Matthias Kestenholz1-0/+1

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).

2007-12-20Teach diff machinery to display other prefixes than "a/" and "b/"Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
With the new options "--src-prefix=<prefix>", "--dst-prefix=<prefix>" and "--no-prefix", you can now control the path prefixes of the diff machinery. These used to by hardwired to "a/" for the source prefix and "b/" for the destination prefix. Initial patch by Pascal Obry. Sane option names suggested by Linus.

2007-12-13diff --check: minor fixupsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
There is no reason --exit-code and --check-diff must be mutually exclusive, so assign different bits to different results and allow them to be returned from the command. Introduce diff_result_code() to factor out the common code to decide final status code based on diffopt settings and use it everywhere. Update tests to match the above fix. Turning pager off when "diff --check" is used is a regression. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-13"diff --check" should affect exit statusLibravatar Wincent Colaiuta1-0/+1
"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the console. Now when the --check option is used we give a non-zero exit status, making "git diff --check" nicer to use in scripts and hooks.

2007-11-10git-add: make the entry stat-clean after re-adding the same contentsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2fe760fc4ed519a3a26e4b9bd6ccffe (add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path if it already matches the index. The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the function says "not modified". This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results between the index and the file in the work tree: - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the length or the owner in the cached stat information is different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual contents. - with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length, the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as described below). - we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go to the filesystem to actually compare. The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation, that can be caused with this sequence: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2) will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified. To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself (that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path. That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add" optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information), but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty: $ echo hello >file $ git add file $ echo hello >file ;# the same contents $ git add file The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, to force re-adding of such a path. There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is not what we want. The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes "git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add racily clean _and_ actually clean paths. We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed (i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not think it is worth it. This patch applies to maint and all the way up. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-10ce_match_stat, run_diff_files: use symbolic constants for readabilityLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+3
ce_match_stat() can be told: (1) to ignore CE_VALID bit (used under "assume unchanged" mode) and perform the stat comparison anyway; (2) not to perform the contents comparison for racily clean entries and report mismatch of cached stat information; using its "option" parameter. Give them symbolic constants. Similarly, run_diff_files() can be told not to report anything on removed paths. Also give it a symbolic constant for that.

2007-08-14diff: squelch empty diffs even moreLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+1
When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status is not helpful. The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), which only has one diff_options parameter. This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late in the rc game.. The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the suggestion to run git-status.

2007-08-14git-diff: squelch "empty" diffsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
After starting to edit a working tree file but later when your edit ends up identical to the original (this can also happen when you ran a wholesale regexp replace with something like "perl -i" that does not actually modify many of the paths), "git diff" between the index and the working tree outputs many "empty" diffs that show "diff --git" headers and nothing else, because these paths are stat-dirty. While it was a way to warn the user that the earlier action of the user made the index ineffective as an optimization mechanism, it was felt too loud for the purpose of warning even to experienced users, and also resulted in confusing people new to git. This replaces the "empty" diffs with a single warning message at the end. Having many such paths hurts performance, and you can run "git-update-index --refresh" to update the lstat(2) information recorded in the index in such a case. "git-status" does so as a side effect, and that is more familiar to the end-user, so we recommend it to them. The change affects only "git diff" that outputs patch text, because that is where the annoyance of too many "empty" diff is most strongly felt, and because the warning message can be safely ignored by downstream tools without getting mistaken as part of the patch. For the low-level "git diff-files" and "git diff-index", the traditional behaviour is retained. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-06-22Finally implement "git log --follow"Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I was always hoping that somebody else would do it. But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do, I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them.. The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts with generating patches and generating the log. So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory. To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just did it. I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises ("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code itself isn't really that complicated. All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that* particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname. One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history. IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the history could be linearized. Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model, I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in parallel. And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to you. What matters to you is that you can now do git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to "builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

2007-04-22Support 'diff=pgm' attributeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed per path. To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom diff driver in the configuration: [diff "my-c-diff"] command = <<your command string comes here>> Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver using the attribute mechanism. *.c diff=my-c-diff The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is used for specifying the type of the contents, while the configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both platform and personal taste.

2007-03-14diff --quietLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
This adds the command line option 'quiet' to tell 'git diff-*' that we are not interested in the actual diff contents but only want to know if there is any change. This option automatically turns --exit-code on, and turns off output formatting, as it does not make much sense to show the first hit we happened to have found. The --quiet option is silently turned off (but --exit-code is still in effect, so is silent output) if postprocessing filters such as pickaxe and diff-filter are used. For all practical purposes I do not think of a reason to want to use these filters and not viewing the diff output. The backends have not been taught about the option with this patch. That is a topic for later rounds. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

diff sets the exit status to 0 when no changes were found, to 1 when changes were found, and 2 means error. We imitate this to be able to use "git diff" in the test scripts. (Actually, keeping in line with the rest of git, -1 is returned on error, which corresponds to an exit status 255). To find out if the diff is not empty, a member called "found_changes" was introduced in struct diff_options, which is set in builtin_diff() and fn_out_consume().

2007-02-22Teach git-diff-files the new option `--no-index`Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+1
With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository. In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked, the default is --no-index. So, you can now say git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab and it actually works! This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files() and builtin_diff_files().

Warning: this changes the semantics. This makes "git blame" without any positive rev to start digging from the working tree copy, which is made into a fake commit whose sole parent is the HEAD. It also adds --contents <file> option to pretend as if the working tree copy has the contents of the named file. You can use '-' to make the command read from the standard input. If you want the command to start annotating from the HEAD commit, you need to explicitly give HEAD parameter. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

This updates the way diffcore represents an unmerged pair somewhat. It used to be that entries with mode=0 on both sides were used to represent an unmerged pair, but now it has an explicit flag. This is to allow diff-index --cached to report the entry from the tree when the path is unmerged in the index. This is used in updating "git reset <tree> -- <path>" to restore absense of the path in the index from the tree. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-10-26Make git-cherry handle root treesLibravatar Rene Scharfe1-0/+2
This patch on top of 'next' makes built-in git-cherry handle root commits. It moves the static function log-tree.c::diff_root_tree() to tree-diff.c and makes it more similar to diff_tree_sha1() by shuffling around arguments and factoring out the call to log_tree_diff_flush(). Consequently the name is changed to diff_root_tree_sha1(). It is a version of diff_tree_sha1() that compares the empty tree (= root tree) against a single 'real' tree. This function is then used in get_patch_id() to compute patch IDs for initial commits instead of SEGFAULTing, as the current code does if confronted with parentless commits.

The Porcelainish has become so much usable as the UI that there is not much reason people should be using the core programs by hand anymore. At this point we are better off making the behaviour of the core programs predictable by keeping them unaffected by the configuration variables. Otherwise they will become very hard to use as reliable building blocks. For example, "git-commit -a" internally uses git-diff-files to figure out the set of paths that need to be updated in the index, and we should never allow diff.renames that happens to be in the configuration to interfere (or slow down the process). The UI level configuration such as showing renamed diff and coloring are still honored by the Porcelainish ("git log" family and "git diff"), but not by the core anymore.

2006-05-14git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properlyLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u"). This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric argument. So now you can just say git diff --unified=5 to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do something silly like GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u (that silly format does continue to still work, of course).

2006-05-05binary diff: further updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This updates the user interface and generated diff data format. * "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable binary patch. It implies --full-index and -p. * "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym "apply --binary". * After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta from the preimage to postimage. For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-29built-in diff: assorted updates.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
"git diff(n)" without --base, --ours, etc. defaults to --cc, which usually is the same as -p unless you are in the middle of a conflicted merge, just like the shell script version. "git diff(n) blobA blobB path" complains and dies. "git diff(n) tree0 tree1 tree2...treeN" does combined diff that shows a merge of tree1..treeN to result in tree0. Giving "-c" option to any command that defaults to "--cc" turns off dense-combined flag. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-22Libified diff-index: backward compatibility fix.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
"diff-index -m" does not mean "do not ignore merges", but means "pretend missing files match the index". The previous round tried to address this, but failed because setup_revisions() ate "-m" flag before the caller had a chance to intervene. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
