* mailinfo: fix in-body header continuationslt/mailinfo-in-body-header-continuationLinus Torvalds2017-04-112-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An empty line should stop any pending in-body headers, and start the actual body parsing. This also modifies the original test for the in-body headers to actually have a real commit body that starts with spaces, and changes the test to check that the long line matches _exactly_, and doesn't get extra data from the body.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When "git format-patch --stdout" output is placed as an in-body header and it uses the RFC2822 header folding, "git am" failed to put the header line back into a single logical line.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mailinfo currently handles multi-line headers, but it does not handle multi-line in-body headers. Teach it to handle such headers, for example, for this input: From: author <author@example.com> Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 00:44:16 -0700 Subject: a very long broken line Subject: another very long broken line interpret the in-body subject to be "another very long broken line" instead of "another very long". An existing test (t/t5100/msg0015) has an indented line immediately after an in-body header - it has been modified to reflect the new functionality.

In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty, and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then both processes would come to the same decision by default. If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down "--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this to the child. That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones are always connected to a pipe, and we never output progress at all. This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning. The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for them. This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive clones. And as a bonus, it makes: git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where `git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers, though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings, or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling regexec(3).

So what we need to fix this is a function that calls regexec() on a length-delimited, rather than a NUL-terminated, string. Happily, there is an extension to regexec() introduced by the NetBSD project and present in all major regex implementation including Linux', MacOSX' and the one Git includes in compat/regex/: by using the (non-POSIX) REG_STARTEND flag, it is possible to tell the regexec() function that it should only look at the offsets between pmatch[0].rm_so and pmatch[0].rm_eo. That is exactly what we need. Since support for REG_STARTEND is so widespread by now, let's just introduce a helper function that always uses it, and tell people on a platform whose regex library does not support it to use the one from our compat/regex/ directory.

This is not so. In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or invalid pages. Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not. Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string, there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined whether the next byte is even legal to access. When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of course. Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake. This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.

Picking good shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two diffs. The first is what standard Git emits: --- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl +++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl @@ -231,6 +231,9 @@ if (!defined $initial_reply_to && $prompting) { } if (!$smtp_server) { + $smtp_server = $repo->config('sendemail.smtpserver'); +} +if (!$smtp_server) { foreach (qw( /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail )) { if (-x $_) { $smtp_server = $_; The following diff is equivalent, but is obviously preferable from an aesthetic point of view: --- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl +++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl @@ -230,6 +230,9 @@ if (!defined $initial_reply_to && $prompting) { $initial_reply_to =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; } +if (!$smtp_server) { + $smtp_server = $repo->config('sendemail.smtpserver'); +} if (!$smtp_server) { foreach (qw( /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail )) { if (-x $_) { This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders" using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the indentation of nearby lines into account. The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often yields ugly diffs. Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2) always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs. This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the positioning that creates the least bad splits. Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation. In more detail: 1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting position in a `struct split_measurement`: * the number of blank lines above the proposed split * whether the line directly after the split is blank * the number of blank lines following that line * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split * the indentation of the line directly below the split * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line 2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at that position. 3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position that has the best `split_score`. I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values. Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`: | repository | count | Git 2.9.0 | compaction | compaction-fixed | indent-1 | indent-2 | | --------------------- | ----- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- | | afnetworking | 109 | 89 (81.7%) | 37 (33.9%) | 37 (33.9%) | 2 (1.8%) | 2 (1.8%) | | alamofire | 30 | 18 (60.0%) | 14 (46.7%) | 15 (50.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | angular | 184 | 127 (69.0%) | 39 (21.2%) | 23 (12.5%) | 5 (2.7%) | 5 (2.7%) | | animate | 313 | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | | ant | 380 | 356 (93.7%) | 152 (40.0%) | 148 (38.9%) | 15 (3.9%) | 15 (3.9%) | * | bugzilla | 306 | 263 (85.9%) | 109 (35.6%) | 99 (32.4%) | 14 (4.6%) | 15 (4.9%) | * | corefx | 126 | 91 (72.2%) | 22 (17.5%) | 21 (16.7%) | 6 (4.8%) | 6 (4.8%) | | couchdb | 78 | 44 (56.4%) | 26 (33.3%) | 28 (35.9%) | 6 (7.7%) | 6 (7.7%) | * | cpython | 937 | 158 (16.9%) | 50 (5.3%) | 49 (5.2%) | 5 (0.5%) | 5 (0.5%) | * | discourse | 160 | 95 (59.4%) | 42 (26.2%) | 36 (22.5%) | 18 (11.2%) | 13 (8.1%) | | docker | 307 | 194 (63.2%) | 198 (64.5%) | 253 (82.4%) | 8 (2.6%) | 8 (2.6%) | * | electron | 163 | 132 (81.0%) | 38 (23.3%) | 39 (23.9%) | 6 (3.7%) | 6 (3.7%) | | git | 536 | 470 (87.7%) | 73 (13.6%) | 78 (14.6%) | 16 (3.0%) | 16 (3.0%) | * | gitflow | 127 | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | ionic | 133 | 89 (66.9%) | 29 (21.8%) | 38 (28.6%) | 1 (0.8%) | 1 (0.8%) | | ipython | 482 | 362 (75.1%) | 167 (34.6%) | 169 (35.1%) | 11 (2.3%) | 11 (2.3%) | * | junit | 161 | 147 (91.3%) | 67 (41.6%) | 66 (41.0%) | 1 (0.6%) | 1 (0.6%) | * | lighttable | 15 | 5 (33.3%) | 0 (0.0%) | 2 (13.3%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | magit | 88 | 75 (85.2%) | 11 (12.5%) | 9 (10.2%) | 1 (1.1%) | 0 (0.0%) | | neural-style | 28 | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | nodejs | 781 | 649 (83.1%) | 118 (15.1%) | 111 (14.2%) | 4 (0.5%) | 5 (0.6%) | * | phpmyadmin | 491 | 481 (98.0%) | 75 (15.3%) | 48 (9.8%) | 2 (0.4%) | 2 (0.4%) | * | react-native | 168 | 130 (77.4%) | 79 (47.0%) | 81 (48.2%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | rust | 171 | 128 (74.9%) | 30 (17.5%) | 27 (15.8%) | 16 (9.4%) | 14 (8.2%) | | spark | 186 | 149 (80.1%) | 52 (28.0%) | 52 (28.0%) | 2 (1.1%) | 2 (1.1%) | | tensorflow | 115 | 66 (57.4%) | 48 (41.7%) | 48 (41.7%) | 5 (4.3%) | 5 (4.3%) | | test-more | 19 | 15 (78.9%) | 2 (10.5%) | 2 (10.5%) | 1 (5.3%) | 1 (5.3%) | * | test-unit | 51 | 34 (66.7%) | 14 (27.5%) | 8 (15.7%) | 2 (3.9%) | 2 (3.9%) | * | xmonad | 23 | 22 (95.7%) | 2 (8.7%) | 2 (8.7%) | 1 (4.3%) | 1 (4.3%) | * | --------------------- | ----- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- | | totals | 6668 | 4391 (65.9%) | 1496 (22.4%) | 1491 (22.4%) | 150 (2.2%) | 144 (2.2%) | | totals (training set) | 4552 | 3195 (70.2%) | 1053 (23.1%) | 1061 (23.3%) | 86 (1.9%) | 88 (1.9%) | | totals (test set) | 2116 | 1196 (56.5%) | 443 (20.9%) | 430 (20.3%) | 64 (3.0%) | 56 (2.6%) | In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*. The columns are * "repository" - the name of the repository used. I used the diffs between successive non-merge commits on the HEAD branch of the corresponding repository. * "count" - the number of sliders that were human-rated. I chose most, but not all, sliders to rate from those among which the various algorithms gave different answers. * "Git 2.9.0" - the default algorithm used by `git diff` in Git 2.9.0. * "compaction" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic` in Git 2.9.0. * "compaction-fixed" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic` after the fixes from earlier in this patch series. Note that the results are not dramatically different than those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as often as the default `git diff`. * "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first set of weighting factors, determined as described above. * "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final set of weighting factors, determined as described below. * `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine the first set of weighting factors. The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the weights included in this patch. The final result gives consistently and significantly better results across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff --compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.) The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project [1]. This patch adds a new command-line option `--indent-heuristic`, and a new configuration setting `diff.indentHeuristic`, that activate this heuristic. This interface is only meant for testing purposes, and should be finalized before including this change in any release.

Whenever it is slid, the current location in the other file needs to be adjusted. But these simple concepts are obfuscated by a lot of index handling that is written in terse, subtle, and varied patterns. I found it very hard to convince myself that the function was correct. So introduce a "struct group" that represents a group of changed lines in a file. Add some functions that perform elementary operations on groups: * Initialize a group to the first group in a file * Move to the next or previous group in a file * Slide a group up or down Even though the resulting code is longer, I think it is easier to understand and review. Its performance is not changed appreciably (though it would be if `group_next()` and `group_previous()` were not inlined). ...and in fact, the rewriting helped me discover another bug in the --compaction-heuristic code: The update of blank_lines was never done for the highest possible position of the group. This means that it could fail to slide the group to its highest possible position, even if that position had a blank line as its last line. So for example, it yielded the following diff: $ git diff --no-index --compaction-heuristic a.txt b.txt diff --git a/a.txt b/b.txt index e53969f..0d60c5fe 100644 --- a/a.txt +++ b/b.txt @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ 1 A + +B + +A 2 when in fact the following diff is better (according to the rules of --compaction-heuristic): $ git diff --no-index --compaction-heuristic a.txt b.txt diff --git a/a.txt b/b.txt index e53969f..0d60c5fe 100644 --- a/a.txt +++ b/b.txt @@ -1,3 +1,7 @@ 1 +A + +B + A 2 The new code gives the bottom answer.
