2011-04-02git diff -D: omit the preimage of deletesLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+42
When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive burden. Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output for deleted files. When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage text is also omitted. To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly for human consumption. It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can read the intention out of such a patch. It however is impossible to apply such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output. Initial request by Mart Sõmermaa, documentation and tests helped by Michael J Gruber. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-08-17tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directoryLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+2
Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect". This will break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere. To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can refer to t/ directory reliably. This finally makes all the tests use it to refer to the outside environment. With this patch, and a one-liner not included here (because it would contradict with what Dscho really wants to do): | diff --git a/t/test-lib.sh b/t/test-lib.sh | index 70ea7e0..60e69e4 100644 | --- a/t/test-lib.sh | +++ b/t/test-lib.sh | @@ -485,7 +485,7 @@ fi | . ../GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS | | # Test repository | -test="trash directory" | +test="trash directory/another level/yet another" | rm -fr "$test" || { | trap - exit | echo >&5 "FATAL: Cannot prepare test area" all the tests still pass, but we would want extra sets of eyeballs on this type of change to really make sure.

2008-03-12tr portability fixesLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
Specifying character ranges in tr differs between System V and POSIX. In System V, brackets are required (e.g., '[A-Z]'), whereas in POSIX they are not. We can mostly get around this by just using the bracket form for both sets, as in: tr '[A-Z] '[a-z]' in which case POSIX interpets this as "'[' becomes '['", which is OK. However, this doesn't work with multiple sequences, like: # rot13 tr '[A-Z][a-z]' '[N-Z][A-M][n-z][a-m]' where the POSIX version does not behave the same as the System V version. In this case, we must simply enumerate the sequence. This patch fixes problematic uses of tr in git scripts and test scripts in one of three ways: - if a single sequence, make sure it uses brackets - if multiple sequences, enumerate - if extra brackets (e.g., tr '[A]' 'a'), eliminate brackets Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
