diffcore: fix iteration order of identical files during rename detection
|

If the two paths 'dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' have identical content
and the parent directory is renamed, e.g. 'git mv dir other-dir', then
diffcore reports the following exact renames:
renamed: dir/B/file -> other-dir/A/file
renamed: dir/A/file -> other-dir/B/file
While technically not wrong, this is confusing not only for the user,
but also for git commands that make decisions based on rename
information, e.g. 'git log --follow other-dir/A/file' follows
'dir/B/file' past the rename.
This behavior is a side effect of commit v2.0.0-rc4~8^2~14
(diffcore-rename.c: simplify finding exact renames, 2013-11-14): the
hashmap storing sources returns entries from the same bucket, i.e.
sources matching the current destination, in LIFO order. Thus the
iteration first examines 'other-dir/A/file' and 'dir/B/file' and, upon
finding identical content and basename, reports an exact rename.
Other hashmap users are apparently happy with the current iteration
order over the entries of a bucket. Changing the iteration order
would risk upsetting other hashmap users and would increase the memory
footprint of each bucket by a pointer to the tail element.
Fill the hashmap with source entries in reverse order to restore the
original exact rename detection behavior.

A corrupt input to "git diff -M" can cause us to segfault.
* jk/diffcore-rename-duplicate:
diffcore-rename: avoid processing duplicate destinations
diffcore-rename: split locate_rename_dst into two functions
|
|
The rename code cannot handle an input where we have
duplicate destinations (i.e., more than one diff_filepair in
the queue with the same string in its pair->two->path). We
end up allocating only one slot in the rename_dst mapping.
If we fill in the diff_filepair for that slot, when we
re-queue the results, we may queue that filepair multiple
times. When the diff is finally flushed, the filepair is
processed and free()d multiple times, leading to heap
corruption.
This situation should only happen when a tree diff sees
duplicates in one of the trees (see the added test for a
detailed example). Rather than handle it, the sanest thing
is just to turn off rename detection altogether for the
diff.

This function manages the mapping of destination pathnames
to filepairs, and it handles both insertion and lookup. This
makes the return value a bit confusing, as we return a newly
created entry (even though no caller cares), and have no
room to indicate to the caller that an entry already
existed.
Instead, let's break this up into two distinct functions,
both backed by a common binary search. The binary search
will use our normal "return the index if we found something,
or negative index minus one to show where it would have
gone" semantics.

Hashmap entries are typically looked up by just a key. The hashmap_get()
API expects an initialized entry structure instead, to support compound
keys. This flexibility is currently only needed by find_dir_entry() in
name-hash.c (and compat/win32/fscache.c in the msysgit fork). All other
(currently five) call sites of hashmap_get() have to set up a near emtpy
entry structure, resulting in duplicate code like this:
struct hashmap_entry keyentry;
hashmap_entry_init(&keyentry, hash(key));
return hashmap_get(map, &keyentry, key);
Add a hashmap_get_from_hash() API that allows hashmap lookups by just
specifying the key and its hash code, i.e.:
return hashmap_get_from_hash(map, hash(key), key);

The find_exact_renames function currently only uses the hash table for
grouping, i.e.:
1. add sources
2. add destinations
3. iterate all buckets, per bucket:
4. split sources from destinations
5. iterate destinations, per destination:
6. iterate sources to find best match
This can be simplified by utilizing the lookup functionality of the hash
table, i.e.:
1. add sources
2. iterate destinations, per destination:
3. lookup sources matching the current destination
4. iterate sources to find best match
This saves several iterations and file_similarity allocations for the
destinations.

* jk/maint-null-in-trees:
fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries
do not write null sha1s to on-disk index
diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
|
|
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).

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.

Since e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05), an unmerged entry should be detected by
using DIFF_PAIR_UNMERGED(p), not by noticing both one and two sides of
the filepair records mode=0 entries. However, it forgot to update some
parts of the rename detection logic.
This only makes difference in the "diff --cached" codepath where an
unmerged filepair carries information on the entries that came from the
tree. It probably hasn't been noticed for a long time because nobody
would run "diff -M" during a conflict resolution, but "git status" uses
rename detection when it internally runs "diff-index" and "diff-files"
and gives nonsense results.
In an unmerged pair, "one" side can have a valid filespec to record the
tree entry (e.g. what's in HEAD) when running "diff --cached". This can
be used as a rename source to other paths in the index that are not
unmerged. The path that is unmerged by definition does not have the
final content yet (i.e. "two" side cannot have a valid filespec), so it
can never be a rename destination.
Use the DIFF_PAIR_UNMERGED() to detect unmerged filepair correctly, and
allow the valid "one" side of an unmerged filepair to be considered a
potential rename source, but never to be considered a rename destination.

The warning is generated deep in the diffcore code, which
means that it will come first, followed possibly by a spew
of conflicts, making it hard to see.
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).

In diffcore_rename, we assume that the blob contents in the filespec
aren't required anymore after estimate_similarity has been called and thus
we free it. But estimate_similarity might return early when the file sizes
differ too much. In that case, cnt_data is never set and the next call to
estimate_similarity will populate the filespec again, eventually rereading
the same blob over and over again.
To fix that, we first get the blob sizes and only when the blob contents
are actually required, and when cnt_data will be set, the full filespec is
populated, once.

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.

When there are N deleted paths and M created paths, we used to
allocate (N x M) "struct diff_score" that record how similar
each of the pair is, and picked the <src,dst> pair that gives
the best match first, and then went on to process worse matches.
This sorting is done so that when two new files in the postimage
that are similar to the same file deleted from the preimage, we
can process the more similar one first, and when processing the
second one, it can notice "Ah, the source I was planning to say
I am a copy of is already taken by somebody else" and continue
on to match itself with another file in the preimage with a
lessor match. This matters to a change introduced between
1.5.3.X series and 1.5.4-rc, that lets the code to favor unused
matches first and then falls back to using already used
matches.
This instead allocates and keeps only a handful rename source
candidates per new files in the postimage. I.e. it makes the
memory requirement from O(N x M) to O(M).
For each dst, we compute similarlity with all sources (i.e. the
number of similarity estimate computations is still O(N x M)),
but we keep handful best src candidates for each dst.

Well, after thinking about this a bit, I think there's a solution that may
work well with the current thing too: instead of looping just *once* over
the list of rename pairs, loop twice - and simply refuse to do copies on
the first loop.
This trivial patch does that, and turns Kumar's test-case into a perfect
rename list.
It's not pretty, it's not smart, but it seems to work. There's something
to be said for keeping it simple and stupid.
And it should not be nearly as expensive as it may _look_. Yes, the loop
is "(i = 0; i < num_create * num_src; i++)", but the important part is
that the whole array is sorted by rename score, and we have a
if (mx[i].score < minimum_score)
break;
in it, so uthe loop actually would tend to terminate rather quickly.
Anyway, Kumar, the thing to take away from this is:
- git really doesn't even *care* about the whole "rename detection"
internally, and any commits you have done with renames are totally
independent of the heuristics we then use to *show* the renames.
- the rename detection really is for just two reasons: (a) keep humans
happy, and keep the diffs small and (b) help automatic merging across
renames. So getting renames right is certainly good, but it's more of a
"politeness" issue than a "correctness" issue, although the merge
portion of it does matter a lot sometimes.
- the important thing here is that you can commit your changes and not
worry about them being somehow "corrupted" by lack of rename detection,
even if you commit them with a version of git that doesn't do rename
detection the way you expected it. The rename detection is an
"after-the-fact" thing, not something that actually gets saved in the
repository, which is why we can change the heuristics _after_ seeing
examples, and the examples magically correct themselves!
- try out the two patches I've posted, and see if they work for you. They
pass the test-suite, and the output for your example commit looks sane,
but hey, if you have other test-cases, try them out.
Here's Kumar's pretty diffstat with both my patches:

Kumar Gala had a case in the u-boot archive with multiple renames of files
with identical contents, and git would turn those into multiple "copy"
operations of one of the sources, and just deleting the other sources.
This patch makes the git exact rename detection prefer to spread out the
renames over the multiple sources, rather than do multiple copies of one
source.
NOTE! The changes are a bit larger than required, because I also renamed
the variables named "one" and "two" to "target" and "source" respectively.
That makes the logic easier to follow, especially as the "one" was
illogically the target and not the soruce, for purely historical reasons
(this piece of code used to traverse over sources and targets in the wrong
order, and when we fixed that, we didn't fix the names back then. So I
fixed them now).
The important part of this change is just the trivial score calculations
for when files have identical contents:
/* Give higher scores to sources that haven't been used already */
score = !source->rename_used;
score += basename_same(source, target);
and when we have multiple choices we'll now pick the choice that gets the
best rename score, rather than only looking at whether the basename
matched.
It's worth noting a few gotchas:
- this scoring is currently only done for the "exact match" case.
In particular, in Kumar's example, even after this patch, the inexact
match case is still done as a copy+delete rather than as two renames:
delete mode 100644 board/cds/mpc8555cds/u-boot.lds
copy board/{cds => freescale}/mpc8541cds/u-boot.lds (97%)
rename board/{cds/mpc8541cds => freescale/mpc8555cds}/u-boot.lds (97%)
because apparently the "cds/mpc8541cds/u-boot.lds" copy looked
a bit more similar to both end results. That said, I *suspect* we just
have the exact same issue there - the similarity analysis just gave
identical (or at least very _close_ to identical) similarity points,
and we do not have any logic to prefer multiple renames over a
copy/delete there.
That is a separate patch.
- When you have identical contents and identical basenames, the actual
entry that is chosen is still picked fairly "at random" for the first
one (but the subsequent ones will prefer entries that haven't already
been used).
It's not actually really random, in that it actually depends on the
relative alphabetical order of the files (which in turn will have
impacted the order that the entries got hashed!), so it gives
consistent results that can be explained. But I wanted to point it out
as an issue for when anybody actually does cross-renames.
In Kumar's case the choice is the right one (and for a single normal
directory rename it should always be, since the relative alphabetical
sorting of the files will be identical), and we now get:
rename board/{cds => freescale}/mpc8541cds/init.S (100%)
rename board/{cds => freescale}/mpc8548cds/init.S (100%)
which is the "expected" answer. However, it might still be better to
change the pedantic "exact same basename" on/off choice into a more
graduated "how similar are the pathnames" scoring situation, in order
to be more likely to get the exact rename choice that people *expect*
to see, rather than other alternatives that may *technically* be
equally good, but are surprising to a human.
It's also unclear whether we should consider "basenames are equal" or
"have already used this as a source" to be more important. This gives them
equal weight, but I suspect we might want to just multiple the "basenames
are equal" weight by two, or something, to prefer equal basenames even if
that causes a copy/delete pair. I dunno.
Anyway, what I'm just saying in a really long-winded manner is that I
think this is right as-is, but it's not the complete solution, and it may
want some further tweaking in the future.
