In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the
user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and
continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the
beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a
feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's
support it internally with two new options.
- "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show
paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to
shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is
no patch for C is shown.
- "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C,
and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no
patch for C is shown.
- "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an
error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the
set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path
or the first path that sorts after the specified path.

Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08)
optimized "diff" by prefetching blobs in a partial clone, but there are
some cases wherein blobs do not need to be prefetched. In these cases,
any command that uses the diff machinery will unnecessarily fetch blobs.
diffcore_std() may read blobs when it calls the following functions:
(1) diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() (controlled by the config variable
diff.autorefreshindex)
(2) diffcore_break() and diffcore_merge_broken() (for break-rewrite
detection)
(3) diffcore_rename() (for rename detection)
(4) diffcore_pickaxe() (for detecting addition/deletion of specified
string)
Instead of always prefetching blobs, teach diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
diffcore_break(), and diffcore_rename() to prefetch blobs upon the first
read of a missing object. This covers (1), (2), and (3): to cover the
rest, teach diffcore_std() to prefetch if the output type is one that
includes blob data (and hence blob data will be required later anyway),
or if it knows that (4) will be run.

Move the documentation from Documentation/technical/api-diff.txt to both
diff.h and diffcore.h as it's easier for the developers to find the usage
information beside the code instead of looking for it in another doc file.
Also documentation/technical/api-diff.txt is removed because the information
it has is now redundant and it'll be hard to keep it up to date and
synchronized with the documentation in the header files.
There are three members documented in the doc file that weren't found in
the header files, assuming the doc wasn't up to date and the members
no longer exist:
touched_flags, COLOR_DIFF_WORDS and QUIET.

Too large files may lead to failure to allocate memory. If it happens
here, it could impact quite a few commands that involve
diff. Moreover, too large files are inefficient to compare anyway (and
most likely non-text), so mark them binary and skip looking at their

* nd/diff-quiet-stat-dirty:
diff: do not quit early on stat-dirty files
diff.c: move diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch core logic out for reuse later
|
|
When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.
Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.
This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().
This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

- order_objects() for actually doing the ordering work.

The is_binary flag needs only three values: -1, 0, and 1.
However, we use a whole 32-bit int for it on most systems
(both 32- and 64- bit).
Instead, we can mark it to use only 2 bits. On 32-bit
systems, this lets it end up as part of the bitfield above
(saving 4 bytes). On 64-bit systems, we don't see any change
(because the savings end up as padding), but it does leave
room for another "free" 32-bit value to be added later.

The middle of the diff_filespec struct contains a mixture of
ints, shorts, and bit-fields, followed by a pointer. On an
x86-64 system with an LP64 or LLP64 data model (i.e., most
of them), the integers and flags end up being padded out by
41 bits to put the pointer at an 8-byte boundary.
After the pointer, we have the "int is_binary" field, which
is only 32 bits. We end up wasting another 32 bits to pad
the struct size up to a multiple of 64 bits.
We can move the is_binary field before the pointer, which
lets the compiler store it where we used to have padding.
This shrinks the top padding to only 9 bits (from the
bit-fields), and eliminates the bottom padding entirely,
dropping the struct size from 88 to 80 bytes.
On a 32-bit system, there is no benefit, but nor should
there be any harm (we only need 4-byte alignment there, so
we were already using only 9 bits of padding).

diff_filespec has a 2-bit "dirty_submodule" field and
defines two flags as macros. Originally these were right
next to each other, but a new field was accidentally added
in between in commit 4682d85. This patch puts the field and
its flags back together.
Using an enum like:
enum {
DIRTY_SUBMODULE_UNTRACKED = 1,
DIRTY_SUBMODULE_MODIFIED = 2
} dirty_submodule;
would be more obvious, but it bloats the structure. Limiting
the enum size like:
} dirty_submodule : 2;
might work, but it is not portable.

We do not want a link to 0{40} object stored anywhere in our objects.
* 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).

Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the
low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code,
even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison
that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read
from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath
further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the
core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual
diff operation.

Only "diff --no-index -" does. Bolting the logic into the low-level
function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day
one. Move populate_from_stdin() function out of the generic diff.c
to its only user, diff-index.c.
Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read
from the standard input", even if we later decide to sanitize the
result from prefix_filename() function in a few obvious ways,
e.g. removing unnecessary "./" prefix, duplicated slashes "//" in
the middle, etc.

This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.
So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.
Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.

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.

When file renames/copies detection is turned on, the
second diffcore_std will degrade a 'C' pair to a 'R' pair.
And this may happen when we run 'git log --follow' with
hard copies finding. That is, the try_to_follow_renames()
will run diffcore_std to find the copies, and then
'git log' will issue another diffcore_std, which will reduce
'src->rename_used' and recognize this copy as a rename.
This is not what we want.
So, I think we really don't need to run diffcore_std more
than one time.

New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),

When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to

The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It
can say one of three things:
1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not
(i.e., diff or !diff)
2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e.,
diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script)
3. this file should use particular funcname patterns
(i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex)
Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses,
since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g.,
an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the
file is binary).
However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there
is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether
this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use
this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo
indicates that the file is definitely text.
This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff
driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We
default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff
attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have
no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current
behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true.
This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up
the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling
code had to know more about whether attributes were false,
true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness
is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations
just by passing back a driver struct.

The core rename detection had some rather stupid code to check if a
pathname was used by a later modification or rename, which basically
walked the whole pathname space for all renames for each rename, in
order to tell whether it was a pure rename (no remaining users) or
should be considered a copy (other users of the source file remaining).
That's really silly, since we can just keep a count of users around, and
replace all those complex and expensive loops with just testing that
simple counter (but this all depends on the previous commit that shared
the diff_filespec data structure by using a separate reference count).
Note that the reference count is not the same as the rename count: they
behave otherwise rather similarly, but the reference count is tied to
the allocation (and decremented at de-allocation, so that when it turns
zero we can get rid of the memory), while the rename count is tied to
the renames and is decremented when we find a rename (so that when it
turns zero we know that it was a rename, not a copy).

Rather than copy the filespecs when introducing new versions of them
(for rename or copy detection), use a refcount and increment the count
when reusing the diff_filespec.
This avoids unnecessary allocations, but the real reason behind this is
a future enhancement: we will want to track shared data across the
copy/rename detection. In order to efficiently notice when a filespec
is used by a rename, the rename machinery wants to keep track of a
rename usage count which is shared across all different users of the
filespec.

We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of
each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are
inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to
hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint
out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once).
Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around
because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of
memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec
data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint.
This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large
to accomplish that goal. We also have to change
estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the
filespec data when we already have the hash.
Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage
increase.

This updates the hunk header customization syntax. The special
case 'funcname' attribute is gone.
You assign the name of the type of contents to path's "diff"
attribute as a string value in .gitattributes like this:
*.java diff=java
*.perl diff=perl
*.doc diff=doc
If you supply "diff.<name>.funcname" variable via the
configuration mechanism (e.g. in $HOME/.gitconfig), the value is
used as the regexp set to find the line to use for the hunk
header (the variable is called "funcname" because such a line
typically is the one that has the name of the function in
programming language source text).
If there is no such configuration, built-in default is used, if
any. Currently there are two default patterns: default and java.

The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header
is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname
(because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about
as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of
built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to
be looked up from the configuration file.
(in .gitattributes)
*.java funcname=java
*.perl funcname=perl
(in .git/config)
[funcname]
java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one.
perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.

This replaces an explicit initialization of filespec->is_binary
field used for rename/break followed by direct access to that
field with a wrapper function that lazily iniaitlizes and
accesses the field. We would add more attribute accesses for
the use of diff routines, and it would be better to make this
abstraction earlier.
