| * diff: disable compaction heuristic for nowjk/diff-compact-heuristicJunio C Hamano2016-06-102-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20160610075043.GA13411@sigill.intra.peff.net reports that a change to add a new "function" with common ending with the existing one at the end of the file is shown like this: def foo do_foo_stuff() + common_ending() +end + +def bar + do_bar_stuff() + common_ending() end when the new heuristic is in use. In reality, the change is to add the blank line before "def bar" and everything below, which is what the code without the new heuristic shows. Disable the heuristics by default, and resurrect the documentation for the option and the configuration variables, while clearly marking the feature as still experimental.

| * diff: undocument the compaction heuristic knobs for experimentationJunio C Hamano2016-05-022-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that people around here are all happy with the updated heuristics used to decide where the hunks are separated. Let's keep that as the default. Even though we do not expect too much trouble from the difference between the old and the new algorithms, just in case let's leave the implementation of the knobs to turn it off for emergencies. There is no longer need for documenting them, though. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
| * xdiff: implement empty line chunk heuristicStefan Beller2016-04-192-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to produce the smallest possible diff and combine several diff hunks together, we implement a heuristic from GNU Diff which moves diff hunks forward as far as possible when we find common context above and below a diff hunk. This sometimes produces less readable diffs when writing C, Shell, or other programming languages, ie: ... /* + * + * + */ + +/* ... instead of the more readable equivalent of ... +/* + * + * + */ + /* ... Implement the following heuristic to (optionally) produce the desired output. If there are diff chunks which can be shifted around, shift each hunk such that the last common empty line is below the chunk with the rest of the context above. This heuristic appears to resolve the above example and several other common issues without producing significantly weird results. However, as with any heuristic it is not really known whether this will always be more optimal. Thus, it can be disabled via diff.compactionHeuristic.

But they were left unstyled in the manual pages. To make the man pages more comfortably read, `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL` was added by 5121a6d (Documentation: option to render literal text as bold for manpages, 2009-03-27). It allowed the user to build the manpages with literals in bold style. For precaution it was not set by default back then. Since 79c461d (docs: default to more modern toolset, 2010-11-19), it is assumed ASCIIDOC 8 and at least docbook-xsl 1.73 are used, so the need for compatibility concern is much lessor now. Remove `MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, and typeset literals as bold by default . Add `NO_MAN_BOLD_LITERAL`, a new Makefile option, disabling this feature when defined.

Make OPT_COUNTUP() treat any negative number as an "unspecified" value to address this shortcoming. In particular, if a client initializes the counter to -1, then if it is still -1 after parse_options(), then neither --option nor --no-option was seen; if it is 0, then --no-option was seen last, and if it is 1 or greater, than --option was seen last. This change does not affect the behavior of existing clients because they all use the initial value of 0 (or more). Note that builtin/clean.c initializes the variable used with OPT__FORCE (which uses OPT_COUNTUP()) to a negative value, but it is set to either 0 or 1 by reading the configuration before the code calls parse_options(), i.e. as far as parse_options() is concerned, the initial value of the variable is not negative. To test this behavior, in test-parse-options.c, "verbose" is set to "unspecified" while quiet is set to 0 which will test the new behavior with all sets of values.

The format.useAutoBase has lower priority than command line option, so if user set format.useAutoBase and pass the command line option in the meantime, base_commit will be the one passed to command line option.

Teach git format-patch a '--base' option to record the base tree info and append it at the end of the first message (either the cover letter or the first patch in the series). The base tree info consists of the "base commit", which is a well-known commit that is part of the stable part of the project history everybody else works off of, and zero or more "prerequisite patches", which are well-known patches in flight that is not yet part of the "base commit" that need to be applied on top of "base commit" in topological order before the patches can be applied. The "base commit" is shown as "base-commit: " followed by the 40-hex of the commit object name. A "prerequisite patch" is shown as "prerequisite-patch-id: " followed by the 40-hex "patch id", which can be obtained by passing the patch through the "git patch-id --stable" command. Imagine that on top of the public commit P, you applied well-known patches X, Y and Z from somebody else, and then built your three-patch series A, B, C, the history would be like: ---P---X---Y---Z---A---B---C With "git format-patch --base=P -3 C" (or variants thereof, e.g. with "--cover-letter" of using "Z..C" instead of "-3 C" to specify the range), the base tree information block is shown at the end of the first message the command outputs (either the first patch, or the cover letter), like this: base-commit: P prerequisite-patch-id: X prerequisite-patch-id: Y prerequisite-patch-id: Z Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Xiaolong Ye <xiaolong.ye@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
