2011-05-14add, merge, diff: do not use strcasecmp to compare config variable namesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-3/+3
The config machinery already makes section and variable names lowercase when parsing them, so using strcasecmp for comparison just feels wasteful. No noticeable change intended.

2011-03-16standardize brace placement in struct definitionsLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+4
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so: struct foo { int bar; char *baz; }; Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'. Linus sayeth: Heretic people all over the world have claimed that this inconsistency is ... well ... inconsistent, but all right-thinking people know that (a) K&R are _right_ and (b) K&R are right.

2011-02-26strbuf: add strbuf_vaddfLibravatar Jeff King1-14/+1
In a variable-args function, the code for writing into a strbuf is non-trivial. We ended up cutting and pasting it in several places because there was no vprintf-style function for strbufs (which in turn was held up by a lack of va_copy). Now that we have a fallback va_copy, we can add strbuf_vaddf, the strbuf equivalent of vsprintf. And we can clean up the cut and paste mess.

2011-02-21merge: enable progress reporting for rename detectionLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
The user can enable or disable it explicitly with the new --progress, but it defaults to checking isatty(2). This works only with merge-recursive and subtree. In theory we could pass a progress flag to other strategies, but none of them support progress at this point, so let's wait until they grow such a feature before worrying about propagating it.

2011-02-21bump rename limit defaults (again)Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
We did this once before in 5070591 (bump rename limit defaults, 2008-04-30). Back then, we were shooting for about 1 second for a diff/log calculation, and 5 seconds for a merge. There are a few new things to consider, though: 1. Average processors are faster now. 2. We've seen on the mailing list some ugly merges where not using inexact rename detection leads to many more conflicts. Merges of this size take a long time anyway, so users are probably happy to spend a little bit of time computing the renames. Let's bump the diff/merge default limits from 200/500 to 400/1000. Those are 2 seconds and 10 seconds respectively on my modern hardware. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-02-21merge: improve inexact rename limit warningLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+9
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). No refactoring of other non-merge callers is necessary, because nobody else was even using the warn_on_rename_limit feature.

2010-09-29merge-recursive: Remove redundant path clearing for D/F conflictsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-15/+2
The code had several places where individual checks were done to remove files that could be in the way of directories in D/F conflicts. Not all D/F conflicts could have a path cleared for them in such a manner, however, leading to the need to create make_room_for_directories_of_df_conflicts() as done in the previous patch. That new function could not have been incorporated into the code sooner, since not all relevant code paths had been deferred to process_df_entry() yet, leading to the creation of even more of these now-redundant path removals.

2010-09-29merge-recursive: Avoid doubly merging rename/add conflict contentsLibravatar Elijah Newren1-0/+1
When a commit moves A to B while another commit created B (or moved C to B), and these two different commits serve as different merge-bases for a later merge, c94736a (merge-recursive: don't segfault while handling rename clashes 2009-07-30) added some special code to avoid segfaults. Since that commit, the two versions of B are merged in place (which could be potentially conflicting) and the intermediate result is used as the virtual ancestor. However, right before this special merge, try_merge was turned on, meaning that process_renames() would try an alternative merge that ignores the 'add' part of the conflict, and, if the merge is clean, store that as the new virtual ancestor. This could cause incorrect merging of criss-cross merges; it would typically result in just recording a slightly confusing merge base, but in some cases it could cause silent acceptance of one side of a merge as the final resolution when a conflict should have been flagged. When we do a special merge for such a rename/add conflict between merge-bases, turn try_merge off to avoid an inappropriate second merge.

process_renames() and process_entry() have nearly identical code for doing three-way file merging to resolve content changes. Since we are already deferring some of the current rename handling in order to better handle D/F conflicts, it seems to make sense to defer content merging as well and remove the (nearly) duplicated code sections for handling this merging. To facilitate this process, add a new update_stages_and_entry() function which will map the higher stage index entries from two files involved in a rename into the resulting rename destination's index entries, and update the associated stage_data structure.

2010-09-09merge-recursive: D/F conflicts where was_a_dir/file -> was_a_dirLibravatar Elijah Newren1-8/+8
In merge-recursive.c, whenever there was a rename where a file name on one side of the rename matches a directory name on the other side of the merge, then the very first check that string_list_has_string(&o->current_directory_set, ren1_dst) would trigger forcing it into marking it as a rename/directory conflict. However, if the path is only renamed on one side and a simple three-way merge between the separate files resolves cleanly, then we don't need to mark it as a rename/directory conflict. So, we can simply move the check for rename/directory conflicts after we've verified that there isn't a rename/rename conflict and that a threeway content merge doesn't work. This changes the particular error message one gets in the case where the directory name that a file on one side of the rename matches is not also part of the rename pair. For example, with commits containing the files: COMMON -> (HEAD, MERGE ) --------- --------------- ------- sub/file1 -> (sub/file1, newsub) <NULL> -> (newsub/newfile, <NULL>) then previously when one tried to merge MERGE into HEAD, one would get CONFLICT (rename/directory): Rename sub/file1->newsub in HEAD directory newsub added in merge Renaming sub/file1 to newsub~HEAD instead Adding newsub/newfile Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. After this patch, the error message will instead become: Removing newsub Adding newsub/newfile CONFLICT (file/directory): There is a directory with name newsub in merge. Adding newsub as newsub~HEAD Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result. That makes more sense to me, because git can't know that there's a conflict until after it's tried resolving paths involving newsub/newfile to see if they are still in the way at the end (and if newsub/newfile is not in the way at the end, there should be no conflict at all, which did not hold with git previously).

Add support for merging with ignoring line endings (specifically --ignore-space-at-eol) when using recursive merging. This is as a strategy-option, so that you can do: git merge --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch> and git rebase --strategy-option=ignore-space-at-eol <branch> This can be useful for coping with line-ending damage (Xcode 3.1 has a nasty habit of converting all CRLFs to LFs, and VC6 tends to just use CRLFs for inserted lines). The only option I need is ignore-space-at-eol, but while at it, include the other xdiff whitespace options (ignore-space-change, ignore-all-space), too.
