2012-09-14grep: teach --debug option to dump the parse treeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
Our "grep" allows complex boolean expressions to be formed to match each individual line with operators like --and, '(', ')' and --not. Introduce the "--debug" option to show the parse tree to help people who want to debug and enhance it. Also "log" learns "--grep-debug" option to do the same. The command line parser to the log family is a lot more limited than the general "git grep" parser, but it has special handling for header matching (e.g. "--author"), and a parse tree is valuable when working on it. Note that "--all-match" is *not* any individual node in the parse tree. It is an instruction to the evaluator to check all the nodes in the top-level backbone have matched and reject a document as non-matching otherwise. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-08-30teach log --no-walk=unsorted, which avoids sortingLibravatar Martin von Zweigbergk1-3/+15
When 'git log' is passed the --no-walk option, no revision walk takes place, naturally. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, however, the provided revisions still get sorted by commit date. So e.g 'git log --no-walk HEAD HEAD~1' and 'git log --no-walk HEAD~1 HEAD' give the same result (unless the two revisions share the commit date, in which case they will retain the order given on the command line). As the commit that introduced --no-walk (8e64006 (Teach revision machinery about --no-walk, 2007-07-24)) points out, the sorting is intentional, to allow things like git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk to show all refs in order by commit date. But there are also other cases where the sorting is not wanted, such as <command producing revisions in order> | git log --oneline --no-walk --stdin To accomodate both cases, leave the decision of whether or not to sort up to the caller, by allowing --no-walk={sorted,unsorted}, defaulting to 'sorted' for backward-compatibility reasons.

Either end of revision range operator can be omitted to default to HEAD, as in "origin.." (what did I do since I forked) or "..origin" (what did they do since I forked). But the current parser interprets ".." as an empty range "HEAD..HEAD", and worse yet, because ".." does exist on the filesystem, we get this annoying output: $ cd Documentation/howto $ git log .. ;# give me recent commits that touch Documentation/ area. fatal: ambiguous argument '..': both revision and filename Use '--' to separate filenames from revisions Surely we could say "git log ../" or even "git log -- .." to disambiguate, but we shouldn't have to.

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

2012-07-29diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel valueLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+2
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).

2012-07-13revision: avoid work after --max-count is reachedLibravatar Jeff King1-20/+19
During a revision traversal in which --max-count has been specified, we decrement a counter for each revision returned by get_revision. When it hits 0, we typically return NULL (the exception being if we still have boundary commits to show). However, before we check the counter, we call get_revision_1 to get the next commit. This might involve looking at a large number of commits if we have restricted the traversal (e.g., we might traverse until we find the next commit whose diff actually matches a pathspec). There's no need to make this get_revision_1 call when our counter runs out. If we are not in --boundary mode, we will just throw away the result and immediately return NULL. If we are in --boundary mode, then we will still throw away the result, and then start showing the boundary commits. However, as git_revision_1 does not impact the boundary list, it should not have an impact. In most cases, avoiding this work will not be especially noticeable. However, in some cases, it can make a big difference: [before] $ time git rev-list -1 origin Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.2.txt 8d141a1d562abb31f27f599dbf6e10a6c06ed73e real 0m0.301s user 0m0.280s sys 0m0.016s [after] $ time git rev-list -1 origin Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.2.txt 8d141a1d562abb31f27f599dbf6e10a6c06ed73e real 0m0.010s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s Note that the output is produced almost instantaneously in the first case, and then git uselessly spends a long time looking for the next commit to touch that file (but there isn't one, and we traverse all the way down to the roots).

verify_filename() can be called in two different contexts. Either we just tried to interpret a string as an object name, and it fails, so we try looking for a working tree file (i.e. we finished looking at revs that come earlier on the command line, and the next argument must be a pathname), or we _know_ that we are looking for a pathname, and shouldn't even try interpreting the string as an object name. For example, with this change, we get: $ git log COPYING HEAD:inexistant fatal: HEAD:inexistant: no such path in the working tree. Use '-- <path>...' to specify paths that do not exist locally. $ git log HEAD:inexistant fatal: Path 'inexistant' does not exist in 'HEAD' Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-04-11revision: insert unsorted, then sort in prepare_revision_walk()Libravatar René Scharfe1-1/+3
Speed up prepare_revision_walk() by adding commits without sorting to the commit_list and at the end sort the list in one go. Thanks to mergesort() working behind the scenes, this is a lot faster for large numbers of commits than the current insert sort. Also introduce and use commit_list_reverse(), to keep the ordering of commits sharing the same commit date unchanged. That's because commit_list_insert_by_date() sorts commits with descending date, but adds later entries with the same date entries last, while commit_list_insert() always inserts entries at the top. The following commit_list_sort_by_date() keeps the order of entries sharing the same date. Jeff's test case, in a repo with lots of refs, was to run: # make a new commit on top of HEAD, but not yet referenced sha1=`git commit-tree HEAD^{tree} -p HEAD </dev/null` # now do the same "connected" test that receive-pack would do git rev-list --objects $sha1 --not --all With a git.git with a ref for each revision, master needs (best of five): real 0m2.210s user 0m2.188s sys 0m0.016s And with this patch: real 0m0.480s user 0m0.456s sys 0m0.020s Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

"git log -S<string>" is a useful way to find the last commit in the codebase that touched the <string>. As it was designed to be used by a porcelain script to dig the history starting from a block of text that appear in the starting commit, it never had to look for anything but an exact match. When used by an end user who wants to look for the last commit that removed a string (e.g. name of a variable) that he vaguely remembers, however, it is useful to support case insensitive match. When given the "--regexp-ignore-case" (or "-i") option, which originally was designed to affect case sensitivity of the search done in the commit log part, e.g. "log --grep", the matches made with -S/-G pickaxe search is done case insensitively now.

In a topic branch workflow, you often want to find the latest commit that merged a side branch that touched a particular area of the system, so that a new topic branch to work on that area can be forked from that commit. For example, I wanted to find an appropriate fork-point to queue Luke's changes related to git-p4 in contrib/fast-import/. "git log --first-parent" traverses the first-parent chain, and "-m --stat" shows the list of paths touched by commits including merge commits. We could ask the question this way: # What is the latest commit that touched that path? $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat master | sed -e '/^ contrib\/fast-import\/git-p4 /q' | tail The above finds that 8cbfc11 (Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates', 2012-01-06) was such a commit. But a more natural way to spell this question is this: $ git log --first-parent --oneline -m --stat -1 master -- \ contrib/fast-import/git-p4 Unfortunately, this does not work. It finds ecb7cf9 (git-p4: rewrite view handling, 2012-01-02). This commit is a part of the merged topic branch and is _not_ on the first-parent path from the 'master': $ git show-branch 8cbfc11 ecb7cf9 ! [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates' ! [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling -- - [8cbfc11] Merge branch 'pw/p4-view-updates' + [8cbfc11^2] git-p4: view spec documentation ++ [ecb7cf9] git-p4: rewrite view handling The problem is caused by the merge simplification logic when it inspects the merge commit 8cbfc11. In this case, the history leading to the tip of 'master' did not touch git-p4 since 'pw/p4-view-updates' topic forked, and the result of the merge is simply a copy from the tip of the topic branch in the view limited by the given pathspec. The merge simplification logic discards the history on the mainline side of the merge, and pretends as if the sole parent of the merge is its second parent, i.e. the tip of the topic. While this simplification is correct in the general case, it is at least surprising if not outright wrong when the user explicitly asked to show the first-parent history. Here is an attempt to fix this issue, by not allowing us to compare the merge result with anything but the first parent when --first-parent is in effect, to avoid the history traversal veering off to the side branch.

2012-01-16Eliminate recursion in setting/clearing marks in commit listLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-16/+29
Recursion in a DAG is generally a bad idea because it could be very deep. Be defensive and avoid recursion in mark_parents_uninteresting() and clear_commit_marks(). mark_parents_uninteresting() learns a trick from clear_commit_marks() to avoid malloc() in (dominant) single-parent case.

2011-11-12log: --show-signatureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
This teaches the "log" family of commands to pass the GPG signature in the commit objects to "gpg --verify" via the verify_signed_buffer() interface used to verify signed tag objects. E.g. $ git show --show-signature -s HEAD shows GPG output in the header part of the output. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
