* docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalJeff King2012-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to --stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored by format-patch. For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen 'automatically' once configured, hence the config option. Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch, which adheres to the 80-column standard.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new option --stat-graph-width=<width> can be used to limit the width of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width> columns will be used for the graph. If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width, the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if more columns are available.

| * | diff --stat: use a maximum of 5/8 for the filename partZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2012-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way that available columns are divided between the filename part and the graph part is modified to use as many columns as necessary for the filenames and the rest for the graph. If there isn't enough columns to print both the filename and the graph, at least 5/8 of available space is devoted to filenames. On a standard 80 column terminal, or if not connected to a terminal and using the default of 80 columns, this gives the same partition as before. The effect of this change is visible in the patch to the test vector in t4052; with a small change with long filename, it stops truncating the name part too short, and also allocates a bit more columns to the graph for larger changes.

It is similar to the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks so that the whole surrounding function is shown. This "natural" context can allow changes to be understood better. Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option; it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after changes. git apply doesn't complain. This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep, namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a function. That means that a few lines of extra context are shown, right up to the next recognized function begins. It's already useful in its current form, though. The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as pre-context. It returns the position of the first found matching line. The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need it for -W. The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend the context as needed. If the added context overlaps with the next change, it is merged into the current hunk. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Introduce a new option --stat-count=<count> which limits the --stat output to the first <count> lines, followed by a "..." line.

The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable). For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines, so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but very cheap - heuristic. In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes: time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null vs. time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null vs. time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null yields the following average runtimes on my machine: - "changes" (default): ~6.0 s - "lines": ~9.6 s - "files": ~0.1 s So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes" analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the "lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other --*stat options. The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can read the intention out of such a patch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0. However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage. Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there is no change. Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for a pure file rename).

|/ / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the "git diff" family of commands. This limits the diff queue to filepairs whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the given regexp. Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a patch text. Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be used as the top-level Porcelain feature. The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output (e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch"). I think we _could_ cache the result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The .gitmodules file is parsed for "submodule.<name>.ignore" entries before looking for them in .git/config. Thus settings found in .git/config will override those from .gitmodules, thereby allowing the local developer to ignore settings given by the remote side while also letting upstream set defaults for those users who don't have special needs.

| * | | Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and statusJens Lehmann2010-08-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each submodule. The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept the new parameter "none" for both status and diff. Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan. This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff): "all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored. "dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules. "untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored, a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it as modified. "none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the "--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status" so the user can override the settings in the configuration.
