2014-02-24difftool: support repositories with .git-filesLibravatar David Aguilar1-16/+2
Modern versions of "git submodule" use .git-files to setup the submodule directory. When run in a "git submodule"-created repository "git difftool --dir-diff" dies with the following error: $ git difftool -d HEAD~ fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree diff --raw --no-abbrev -z HEAD~: command returned error: 128 core.worktree is relative to the .git directory but the logic in find_worktree() does not account for it. Use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to find the worktree so that the dir-diff feature works inside a submodule.

2013-05-29difftool --dir-diff: allow changing any clean working tree fileLibravatar Kenichi Saita1-7/+2
The temporary directory prepared by "difftool --dir-diff" to show the result of a change can be modified by the user via the tree diff program, and we try hard not to lose changes to them after tree diff program returns to us. However, the set of files to be copied back is computed differently between --symlinks and --no-symlinks modes. The former checks all paths that start out as identical to the working tree file, while the latter checks paths that already had a local modification in the working tree, allowing changes made in the tree diff program to paths that did not have any local change to be lost.

2013-05-17difftool: fix dir-diff when file does not exist in working treeLibravatar John Keeping1-0/+6
Commit 02c5631 (difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree, 2013-03-14) does not handle the case where a file that is being compared does not exist in the working tree. Fix this by checking for existence explicitly before running git-hash-object.

2013-03-29difftool: don't overwrite modified filesLibravatar John Keeping1-14/+71
After running the user's diff tool, git-difftool will copy any files that differ between the working tree and the temporary tree. This is useful when the user edits the file in their diff tool but is wrong if they edit the working tree file while examining the diff. Instead of copying unconditionally when the files differ, create and index from the working tree files and only copy the temporary file back if it was modified and the working tree file was not. If both files have been modified, print a warning and exit with an error. Note that we cannot use an existing index in git-difftool since those contain the modified files that need to be checked out but here we are looking at those files which are copied from the working tree and not checked out. These are precisely the files which are not in the existing indices. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-03-28Merge branch 'jk/difftool-dir-diff-edit-fix'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+21
"git difftool --dir-diff" made symlinks to working tree files when preparing a temporary directory structure, so that accidental edits of these files in the difftool are reflected back to the working tree, but the logic to decide when to do so was not quite right. * jk/difftool-dir-diff-edit-fix: difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working tree difftool: avoid double slashes in symlink targets git-difftool(1): fix formatting of --symlink description
2013-03-14difftool --dir-diff: symlink all files matching the working treeLibravatar John Keeping1-3/+18
Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git difftool --dir-diff --symlink" to compare against the working tree but difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged changes. Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the working tree. Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without going through the new hash-object based check.

2013-03-14difftool: avoid double slashes in symlink targetsLibravatar John Keeping1-1/+3
When we add tests for symlinks in "git difftool --dir-diff" it's easier to check the target path if we don't have to worry about double slashes separating directories. Remove the trailing slash (if present) from $workdir before creating the symlinks in order to avoid this.

2013-01-25git-difftool: use git-mergetool--lib for "--tool-help"Libravatar John Keeping1-48/+7
The "--tool-help" option to git-difftool currently displays incorrect output since it uses the names of the files in "$GIT_EXEC_PATH/mergetools/" rather than the list of command names in git-mergetool--lib.

Keep the temporary directory around when compare() cannot read its input files, which is indicated by -1. Defer tempdir creation to allow an early exit in setup_dir_diff().

Use the original File::Find implementation from bf73fc2 (difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help', 2012-03-29) so that we properly handle mergetools/ being located in a path containing spaces.

Teach difftool's --dir-diff mode to use symlinks to represent files from the working copy, and make it the default behavior for the non-Windows platforms.

2012-07-19difftool: only copy back files modified during directory diffLibravatar Tim Henigan1-2/+5
When 'difftool --dir-diff' is used to compare working tree files, it always copies files from the tmp dir back to the working tree when the diff tool is closed, even if the files were not modified by the diff tool. This causes the file timestamp to change. Files should only be copied from the tmp dir back to the working copy if they were actually modified.

2012-04-23difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'Libravatar Tim Henigan1-2/+53
Since bc7a96a (mergetool--lib: Refactor tools into separate files, 2011-08-18), it is possible to add a new diff tool by creating a simple script in the '$(git --exec-path)/mergetools' directory. Updating the difftool help text is still a manual process, and the documentation can easily go out of sync. This commit teaches difftool the '--tool-help' option, which: - Reads the list of valid tools from 'mergetools/*' - Determines which of them are actually installed - Determines which are capable of diffing (i.e. not just a merge tool) - Prints the resulting list for the user Signed-off-by: Tim Henigan <tim.henigan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

When 'difftool' is called to compare a range of commits that modify more than one file, it opens a separate instance of the diff tool for each file that changed.

2010-12-14difftool: Fix failure on CygwinLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-4/+8
In particular, test 14 'difftool last flag wins' in t7800 fails. This is caused by git-difftool.perl passing both GIT_DIFFTOOL_NO_PROMPT (='true') and GIT_DIFFTOOL_PROMPT (='true') to the difftool helper script. Despite the appropriate key being deleted from the ENV hash, it seems that once a key has been set in the hash, it gets passed along to the system() call. (ie deleting the key does not do the equivalent of unsetenv()). In order to fix the problem, we keep track of the required prompt state while processing the arguments, and then set the relevant ENV hash key only once at the end.

2010-09-27perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+1
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.
