* Merge branch 'jc/diff' into nextJunio C Hamano2006-04-111-1/+5
|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | * jc/diff: blame and friends: adjust to multiple pathspec change. git log --full-diff tree-diff: do not assume we use only one pathspec
| * tree-diff: do not assume we use only one pathspecJunio C Hamano2006-04-101-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way tree-diff was set up assumed we would use only one set of pathspec during the entire life of the program. Move the pathspec related static variables out to diff_options structure so that we can filter commits with one set of paths while show the actual diffs using different set of paths. I suspect this breaks blame.c, and makes "git log paths..." to default to the --full-diff, the latter of which is dealt with the next commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

* Support for pickaxe matching regular expressionsPetr Baudis2006-04-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | git-diff-* --pickaxe-regex will change the -S pickaxe to match POSIX extended regular expressions instead of fixed strings. The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.

* tree/diff header cleanup.Junio C Hamano2006-03-291-11/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce tree-walk.[ch] and move "struct tree_desc" and associated functions from various places. Rename DIFF_FILE_CANON_MODE(mode) macro to canon_mode(mode) and move it to cache.h. This macro returns the canonicalized st_mode value in the host byte order for files, symlinks and directories -- to be compared with a tree_desc entry. create_ce_mode(mode) in cache.h is similar but is intended to be used for index entries (so it does not work for directories) and returns the value in the network byte order.

* combine-diff: Record diff status a bit more faithfullyJunio C Hamano2006-02-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX" lines like two-way diff-patch output does, by checking the status from each parent. The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by showing diff status letters with each parent. While most of the case you would see "MM" in the output, an Evil Merge that touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is possible and it would be shown like these: $ git-diff-tree --abbrev -c HEAD 2d7ca89675eb8888b0b88a91102f096d4471f09f ::000000 000000 100644 0000000... 0000000... 31dd686...

* combine-diff: move formatting logic to show_combined_diff()Junio C Hamano2006-02-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This way, diff-files can make use of it. Also implement the full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for consistency. With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would show what is expected. There is no way to get the historical output (useful for debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs with parents". diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c. For textual combined diff, use -p -c. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* diff-tree -c raw outputLinus Torvalds2006-02-091-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics. I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't actually do that. The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons for <n> parents. So now, in the kernel, when you do git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd (to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you get cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd ::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287 arch/arm/Kconfig ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by result sha1). Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output. Cool/stupid exercise: $ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | less -S will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

It shows a "combined diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this: $ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18 diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents) Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae... Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Date: Sun Jan 15 22:25:35 2006 -0800 Merge fixes up to GIT 1.1.3 diff --combined describe.c @@@ +98,7 @@@ return (a_date > b_date) ? -1 : (a_date == b_date) ? 0 : 1; } - static void describe(char *arg) - static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one) ++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one) { + unsigned char sha1[20]; + struct commit *cmit; There are a few things to note about this feature: - The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all merges. - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things"). - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no combined diff output. - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome. A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed from that parent's version). A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line (i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another parent). The above example output shows that the function signature was changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++" line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was inherited from the first parent. The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases, which I have fixed since then. It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers from parent commits, which it probably should.

* Split up tree diff functions into tree-diff.c libraryLinus Torvalds2005-10-221-0/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree" program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file. This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history. Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables from diff-tree.c into the options structure. The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something else than just show the diff on stdout. Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree itself. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions: - A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D (deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them. - The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option). For example, $ git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or rename.

* [PATCH] diff: Fix docs and add -O to diff-helper.Junio C Hamano2005-06-031-9/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings: - clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse"; rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically they are different when -C is involved. - describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was implemented, documented but not described in usage text. Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B), this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between diff.c and diffcore backends).

* [PATCH] diff: mode bits fixesJunio C Hamano2005-06-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644 pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine, which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a similar way. Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository itself.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern.

* [PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.Junio C Hamano2005-05-301-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced. When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch. The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and defaults to 99% if not specified. As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens: The original change looks like this: file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0) file1 --> /dev/null After diffcore-break runs, it would become this: file0 --> /dev/null /dev/null --> file0' file1 --> /dev/null Then diffcore-rename matches them up: file1 --> file0' The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

* [PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdinJunio C Hamano2005-05-291-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers. When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first. This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact copy of that blob already expanded. Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it has already seen in memory.

* [PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.Junio C Hamano2005-05-211-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express nonexistence. All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead. The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p to get the diff/patch format. Updated are both documentations and tests.

* [PATCH] Prepare diffcore interface for diff-tree header supression.Junio C Hamano2005-05-211-5/+7

* [PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool "pickaxe".Junio C Hamano2005-05-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user gives a string he is intersted in. Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but not in the other. For example: $ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper". In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code came from. The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module, so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above example demonstrates.
