combine-diff: support format_callback

2011-08-21T06:03:06+00:00

This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.

So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.

Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.

diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int

2011-08-18T21:35:53+00:00

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

diff -c/--cc: do not mistake "resolved as deletion" as "use working tree"

2011-08-04T19:05:47+00:00

The combined diff machinery can be used to compare:

 - a merge commit with its parent commits;
 - a working-tree file with multiple stages in an unmerged index; or
 - a working-tree file with the HEAD and the index.

The internal function combine-diff.c:show_patch_diff() checked if it needs
to read the "result" from the working tree by looking at the object name
of the result --- if it is null_sha1, it read from the working tree.

This mistook a merge that records a deletion as the conflict resolution
as if it is a cue to read from the working tree. Pass this information
explicitly from the caller instead.

Noticed and reported by Johan Herland.

combine-diff: respect textconv attributes

2011-05-24T16:08:17+00:00

When doing a combined diff, we did not respect textconv attributes at
all. This generally lead to us printing "Binary files differ" when we
could show a combined diff of the converted text.

This patch converts file contents according to textconv attributes. The
implementation is slightly ugly; because the textconv code is tightly
linked with the diff_filespec code, we temporarily create a diff_filespec
during conversion. In practice, though, this should not create a
performance problem.

combine-diff: handle binary files as binary

2011-05-23T22:43:43+00:00

The combined diff code path is totally different from the
regular diff code path, and didn't handle binary files at
all. The results of a combined diff on a binary file could
range from annoying (since we spewed binary garbage,
possibly upsetting the user's terminal), to wrong (embedded
NULs caused us to show incorrect diffs, with lines truncated
at the NUL character), to potential security problems
(embedded NULs could interfere with "-z" output, possibly
defeating policy hooks which parse diff output).

Instead, we consider a combined diff to be binary if any of
the input blobs is binary. To show a binary combined diff,
we indicate "Binary blobs differ"; the "index" meta line
will show which parents had which blob.

combine-diff: calculate mode_differs earlier

2011-05-23T22:40:51+00:00

One loop combined both the patch generation and checking
whether there was any mode change to report. Let's factor
that into two separate loops, as we may care about the mode
change even if we are not generating patches (e.g., because
we are showing a binary diff, which will come in a future
patch).

combine-diff: split header printing into its own function

2011-05-23T22:39:33+00:00

This is a pretty big logical chunk, so it makes the function
a bit more readable to have it split out. In addition, it
will make it easier to add an alternate code path for binary
diffs in a future patch.
