2005-06-05diff 'rename' format change.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-2/+2
Clearly even Junio felt git "rename" header lines should say "from/to" instead of "old/new", since he wrote the documentation that way. This way it also matches "copy". git-apply will accept both versions, at least for a while.
2005-05-24[PATCH] Redo rename/copy detection logic.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-7/+7
Earlier implementation had a major screw-up in the memory management area. Rename/copy logic sometimes borrowed a pointer to a structure without any provision for downstream to determine which pointer is shared and which is not. This resulted in the later clean-up code to sometimes double free such structure, resulting in a segfault. This made -M and -C useless. Another problem the earlier implementation had was that it reordered the patches, and forced the logic to differentiate renames and copies to depend on that particular order. This problem was fixed by teaching rename/copy detection logic not to do any reordering, and rename-copy differentiator not to depend on the order of the patches. The diffs will leave rename/copy detector in the same destination path order as the patch that was fed into it. Some test vectors have been reordered to accommodate this change. It also adds a sanity check logic to the human-readable diff-raw output to detect paths with embedded TAB and LF characters, which cannot be expressed with that format. This idea came up during a discussion with Chris Wedgwood. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-05-23[PATCH] Be careful with symlinks when detecting renames and copies.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+66
Earlier round was not treating symbolic links carefully enough, and would have produced diff output that renamed/copied then edited the contents of a symbolic link, which made no practical sense. Change it to detect only pure renames. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
