The "break" phase works by counting changes between two
blobs with the same path. We do this by splitting the file
into chunks (or lines for text oriented files) and then
keeping a count of chunk hashes.
The "rename" phase counts changes between blobs at two
different paths. However, it uses the exact same set of
chunk hashes (which are immutable for a given sha1).
The rename phase can therefore use the same hash data as
break. Unfortunately, we were throwing this data away after
computing it in the break phase. This patch instead attaches
it to the filespec and lets it live through the rename
phase, working under the assumption that most of the time
that breaks are being computed, renames will be too.
We only do this optimization for files which have actually
been broken, as those ones will be candidates for rename
detection (and it is a time-space tradeoff, so we don't want
to waste space keeping useless data).

As we look at each changed file and consider breaking it, we
load the blob data and make a decision about whether to
break, which is independent of any other blobs that might
have changed. However, we keep the data in memory while we
consider breaking all of the other files. Which means that
both versions of every file you are diffing are in memory at
the same time.
This patch instead frees the blob data as we finish with
each file pair, leading to much lower memory usage.

When we consider if a path has been totally rewritten, we did not
touch changes from symlinks to files or vice versa. But a change
that modifies even the type of a blob surely should count as a
complete rewrite.
While we are at it, modernise diffcore-break to be aware of gitlinks (we
do not want to touch them).

Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.
In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like
- rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
- create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
"filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.
which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.
Now, there's two issues here:
- "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
helper file" into another was *not* an option.
So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
alternatives.
- "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.
Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:
diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c
index 26bdbdd..7c261fd 100644
--- a/tree-diff.c
+++ b/tree-diff.c

diff_opts.output_format = DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT;
diff_opts.single_follow = opt->paths[0];
+ diff_opts.break_opt = opt->break_opt;
paths[0] = NULL;
diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)
however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!
In particular:
- it used to do
if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */
which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
"base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!
That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.
- It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added
if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;
to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
was *definitely* a break.
- It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
damage score with
delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;
but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
(again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
damage!
Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.
With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now
git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S
actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history
git log --stat -B -C
on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.
There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:
- This:

Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real
"delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in
advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was
meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases
where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable.
So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak
the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

We may want to use richer information on the data we are dealing
with in this function, so instead of passing a buffer address
and length, just pass the diffcore_filespec structure. Existing
callers always call this function with parameters taken from a
filespec anyway, so there is no functionality changes.

Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.
On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().
In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

We did not check if we have the same file on both sides when
computing break score. This is usually not a problem, but if
the user said --find-copies-harde with -B, we ended up trying a
delta between the same data even when we know the SHA1 hash of
both sides match.

When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so
much memory. so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on.
diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself.
[jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's
patch. The original idea was to use free_filespec_data() only to
free the data portion and keep useing the filespec itself, but
no existing code seems to do things that way, so I just yanked
that part out.]

Anything that generates a delta to see if two objects are close usually
isn't interested in the delta ends up being bigger than some specified

Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag
was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier
versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such
a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing
git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version
prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review
for human consumer while keeping it a single, regular
modification patch for machine consumption, something that even
GNU patch can grok.

This fixes three bugs in the -B heuristics.
- Although it was advertised that the initial break criteria
used was the same as what diffcore-rename uses, it was using
something different. Instead of using smaller of src and dst
size to compare with "edit" size, (insertion and deletion),
it was using larger of src and dst, unlike the rename/copy
detection logic. This caused the parameter to -B to mean
something different from the one to -M and -C. To compensate
for this change, the default break score is also changed to
match that of the default for rename/copy.
- The code would have crashed with division by zero when trying
to break an originally empty file.
- Contrary to what the comment said, the algorithm was breaking
small files, only to later merge them together.

As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

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.
