| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We carefully verify that the input to git-apply is sane, including cross-checking that the filenames we see in "+++" headers match what was provided on the command line of "diff --git". When --directory is used, however, we ended up comparing the unadorned name to one with the prepended root, causing us to complain about a mismatch. We simply need to prepend the root directory, if any, when pulling the name out of the git header.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many call sites use strbuf_init(&foo, 0) to initialize local strbuf variable "foo" which has not been accessed since its declaration. These can be replaced with a static initialization using the STRBUF_INIT macro which is just as readable, saves a function call, and takes up fewer lines.

* | git-apply:--include=pathspecJunio C Hamano2008-09-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows --include=pathspec, similar to --exclude=pathspec. The rule when one or both of these are used is that the include/exclude patterns are examined in the order they are given on the command line, and the first match determines if a patch to each path is used or not. Hence: $ git apply --include='specific.h' --exclude='*.h' <diff would apply the patch to specific.h header file, but all other patches in the input file to other header files are ignored. A patch to a path that does not match any include/exclude pattern is used by default if there is no include pattern on the command line, and ignored if there is any include pattern. This originally came from Joe Perches, but both the design of the semantics and the implementation have been redone complately. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

We still incorrectly enforce "match_beginning" for -U0 matches. I noticed this while trying out an example sequence from Clemens Buchacher: $ echo a >victim $ git add victim $ echo b >>victim $ git diff -U0 >patch $ cat patch diff --git i/victim w/victim index 7898192..422c2b7 100644 --- i/victim +++ w/victim @@ -1,0 +2 @@ a +b $ git apply --cached --unidiff-zero <patch $ git show :victim b a The change inserts a new line before the second line, but we insist it to be applied at the beginning. As the result, the code refuses to apply it at the original offset, and we end up adding the line at the beginning. Updates to the test script are by Clemens Buchacher.

* apply: fix copy/rename breakageJunio C Hamano2008-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 7ebd52a (Merge branch 'dz/apply-again', 2008-07-01) taught "git-apply" to grok a (non-git) patch that is a concatenation of separate patches that touch the same file number of times, by recording the postimage of patch application of previous round and using it as the preimage for later rounds. This "incremental" mode of patch application fundamentally contradicts with the way git rename/copy patches are designed. When a git patch talks about a file A getting modified, and a new file B created out of A, like this: diff --git a/A b/A --- a/A +++ b/A ... change text here ... diff --git a/A b/B copy from A copy to B --- a/A +++ b/B ... change text here ... the second change to produce B does not depend on what is done to A with the first change in any way. This is explicitly done so for reviewability of individual patches. With this commit, we do not look at 'fn_table' that records the postimage of previous round when applying a patch to produce a new file out of an existing file.

* | git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once betterDon Zickus2008-06-27
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When working with a lot of people who backport patches all day long, every once in a while I get a patch that modifies the same file more than once inside the same patch. git-apply either fails if the second change relies on the first change or silently drops the first change if the second change is independent. The silent part is the scary scenario for us. Also this behaviour is different from the patch-utils. I have modified git-apply to create a table of the filenames of files it modifies such that if a later patch chunk modifies a file in the table it will buffer the previously changed file instead of reading the original file from disk. Logic has been put in to handle creations/deletions/renames/copies. All the relevant tests of git-apply succeed. A new test has been added to cover the cases I addressed. The fix is relatively straight-forward. Signed-off-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | builtin-apply: do not declare patch is creation when we do not know itJunio C Hamano2008-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we see no context nor deleted line in the patch, we used to declare that the patch creates a new file. But some people create an empty file and then apply a patch to it. Similarly, a patch that delete everything is not a deletion patch either. This commit corrects these two issues. Together with the previous commit, it allows a diff between an empty file and a line-ful file to be treated as both creation patch and "add stuff to an existing empty file", depending on the context. A new test t4126 demonstrates the fix. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | builtin-apply: accept patch to an empty fileJunio C Hamano2008-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A patch from a foreign SCM (or plain "diff" output) often have both preimage and postimage filename on ---/+++ lines even for a patch that creates a new file. However, when there is a filename for preimage, we used to insist the file to exist (either in the work tree and/or in the index). When we cannot be sure by parsing the patch that it is not a creation patch, we shouldn't complain when if there is no such a file. This commit fixes the logic. Refactor the code that validates the preimage file into a separate function while we are at it, as it is getting rather big. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Optimize symlink/directory detectionLinus Torvalds2008-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname saner and (much) more efficient. Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an 'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a normal path component. The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a real directory. This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index. [ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index revalidation. We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the directory cache). But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old 'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An earlier commit 4be6096 (apply --unidiff-zero: loosen sanity checks for --unidiff=0 patches, 2006-09-17) made match_beginning and match_end computed incorrectly. If a hunk inserts at the beginning, old position recorded at the hunk is line 0, and if a hunk changes at the beginning, it is line 1. The new test added to t4104 exposes that the old code did not insist on matching at the beginning for a patch to add a line to an empty file. An even older 65aadb9 (apply: force matching at the beginning., 2006-05-24) was equally wrong in that it tried to take hints from the number of leading context lines, to decide if the hunk must match at the beginning, but we can just look at the line number in the hunk to decide.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When you have more than one patch series, an earlier one of which tries to introduce whitespace breakages and a later one of which has such a new line in its context, "git-apply --whitespace=fix" will apply and fix the whitespace breakages in the earlier one, making the resulting file not to match the context of the later patch. A short demonstration is in the new test, t4125. For example, suppose the first patch is: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -20,3 +20,3 @@ Hello world.$ -How Are you$ -Today?$ +How are you $ +today? $ to fix broken case in the string, but it introduces unwanted trailing whitespaces to the result (pretend you are looking at "cat -e" output of the patch --- '$' signs are not in the patch but are shown to make the EOL stand out). And the second patch is to change the wording of the greeting further: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@ Greetings $ -Hello world.$ +Hello, everybody. $ How are you $ -today? $ +these days? $ If you apply the first one with --whitespace=fix, you will get this as the result: Hello world.$ How are you$ today?$ and this does not match the preimage of the second patch, which demands extra whitespace after "How are you" and "today?". This series is about teaching "git apply --whitespace=fix" to cope with this situation better. If the patch does not apply, it rewrites the second patch like this and retries: diff a/hello.txt b/hello.txt --- a/hello.txt +++ b/hello.txt @@ -18,5 +18,5 @@ Greetings$ -Hello world.$ +Hello, everybody.$ How are you$ -today?$ +these days?$ This is done by rewriting the preimage lines in the hunk (i.e. the lines that begin with ' ' or '-'), using the same whitespace fixing rules as it is using to apply the patches, so that it can notice what it did to the previous ones in the series. A careful reader may notice that the first patch in the example did not touch the "Greetings" line, so the trailing whitespace that is in the original preimage of the second patch is not from the series. Is rewriting this context line a problem? If you think about it, you will realize that the reason for the difference is because the submitter's tree was based on an earlier version of the file that had whitespaces wrong on that "Greetings" line, and the change that introduced the "Greetings" line was added independently of this two-patch series to our tree already with an earlier "git apply --whitespace=fix". So it may appear this logic is rewriting too much, it is not so. It is just rewriting what we would have rewritten in the past. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * | builtin-apply.c: do not feed copy_wsfix() leading '+'Junio C Hamano2008-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The "patch" parameter used to include leading '+' of an added line in the patch, and the array was treated as 1-based. Make it accept the contents of the line alone and simplify the code. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
