* rename diff_free_filespec_data_large() to diff_free_filespec_blob()Junio C Hamano2007-10-02

* diffcore-rename: cache file deltasJeff King2007-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once). Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint. This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large to accomplish that goal. We also have to change estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the filespec data when we already have the hash. Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage increase.

* Fix the rename detection limit checkingLinus Torvalds2007-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds more proper rename detection limits. Instead of just checking the limit against the number of potential rename destinations, we verify that the rename matrix (which is what really matters) doesn't grow ridiculously large, and we also make sure that we don't overflow when doing the matrix size calculation. This also changes the default limits from unlimited, to a rename matrix that is limited to 100 entries on a side. You can raise it with the config entry, or by using the "-l<n>" command line flag, but at least the default is now a sane number that avoids spending lots of time (and memory) in situations that likely don't merit it. The choice of default value is of course very debatable. Limiting the rename matrix to a 100x100 size will mean that even if you have just one obvious rename, but you also create (or delete) 10,000 files, the rename matrix will be so big that we disable the heuristics. Sounds reasonable to me, but let's see if people hit this (and, perhaps more importantly, actually *care*) in real life.

* git-diff: don't squelch the new SHA1 in submodule diffsSven Verdoolaege2007-09-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to squelch empty diffs introduced by commit fb13227e089f22dc31a3b1624559153821056848 would inadvertently populate filespec "two" of a submodule change using the uninitialized (null) SHA1, thereby replacing the submodule SHA1 by 0{40} in the output. This change teaches diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch to handle submodule changes correctly. Signed-off-by: Sven Verdoolaege <skimo@kotnet.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviourJunio C Hamano2007-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The warning message to suggest "Consider running git-status" from "git-diff" that we experimented with during the 1.5.3 cycle turns out to be a bad idea. It robbed cache-dirty information from people who valued it, while still asking users to run "update-index --refresh". It was hoped that the new behaviour would at least have some educational value, but not showing the cache-dirty paths like before meant that the user would not even know easily which paths were cache-dirty, and it made the need to refresh the index look like even more unnecessary chore. This commit reinstates the traditional behaviour, but with a twist. By default, the empty "diff --git" output is totally squelched out from "git diff" output. At the end of the command, it automatically runs "update-index --refresh" as needed, without even bothering the user. In other words, people who do not care about the cache-dirtyness do not even have to see the warning. The traditional behaviour to see the stat-dirty output and to bypassing the overhead of content comparison can be specified by setting the configuration variable diff.autorefreshindex to false.

* Take binary diffs into account for "git rebase"Linus Torvalds2007-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We used to not generate a patch ID for binary diffs, but that means that some commits may be skipped as being identical to already-applied diffs when doing a rebase. So just delete the code that skips the binary diff. At the very least, we'd want the filenames to be part of the patch ID, but we might also want to generate some hash for the binary diff itself too. This fixes an issue noticed by Torgil Svensson.

* diff: squelch empty diffs even moreRené Scharfe2007-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status is not helpful. The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(), which only has one diff_options parameter. This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late in the rc game.. The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the suggestion to run git-status.

* git-diff: squelch "empty" diffsJunio C Hamano2007-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After starting to edit a working tree file but later when your edit ends up identical to the original (this can also happen when you ran a wholesale regexp replace with something like "perl -i" that does not actually modify many of the paths), "git diff" between the index and the working tree outputs many "empty" diffs that show "diff --git" headers and nothing else, because these paths are stat-dirty. While it was a way to warn the user that the earlier action of the user made the index ineffective as an optimization mechanism, it was felt too loud for the purpose of warning even to experienced users, and also resulted in confusing people new to git. This replaces the "empty" diffs with a single warning message at the end. Having many such paths hurts performance, and you can run "git-update-index --refresh" to update the lstat(2) information recorded in the index in such a case. "git-status" does so as a side effect, and that is more familiar to the end-user, so we recommend it to them. The change affects only "git diff" that outputs patch text, because that is where the annoyance of too many "empty" diff is most strongly felt, and because the warning message can be safely ignored by downstream tools without getting mistaken as part of the patch. For the low-level "git diff-files" and "git diff-index", the traditional behaviour is retained. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* Fix configuration syntax to specify customized hunk header patterns.Junio C Hamano2007-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the hunk header customization syntax. The special case 'funcname' attribute is gone. You assign the name of the type of contents to path's "diff" attribute as a string value in .gitattributes like this: *.java diff=java *.perl diff=perl *.doc diff=doc If you supply "diff.<name>.funcname" variable via the configuration mechanism (e.g. in $HOME/.gitconfig), the value is used as the regexp set to find the line to use for the hunk header (the variable is called "funcname" because such a line typically is the one that has the name of the function in programming language source text). If there is no such configuration, built-in default is used, if any. Currently there are two default patterns: default and java. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Per-path attribute based hunk header selection.Junio C Hamano2007-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes"diff -p" hunk headers customizable via gitattributes mechanism. It is based on Johannes's earlier patch that allowed to define a single regexp to be used for everything. The mechanism to arrive at the regexp that is used to define hunk header is the same as other use of gitattributes. You assign an attribute, funcname (because "diff -p" typically uses the name of the function the patch is about as the hunk header), a simple string value. This can be one of the names of built-in pattern (currently, "java" is defined) or a custom pattern name, to be looked up from the configuration file. (in .gitattributes) *.java funcname=java *.perl funcname=perl (in .git/config) [funcname] java = ... # ugly and complicated regexp to override the built-in one. perl = ... # another ugly and complicated regexp to define a new one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To prevent funky games with external diff engines, git-log and friends prevent external diff engines from being called. That makes sense in the context of git-format-patch or git-rebase. However, for "git log -p" it is not so nice to get the message that binary files cannot be compared, while "git diff" has no problems with them, if you provided an external diff driver. With this patch, "git log --ext-diff -p" will do what you expect, and the option "--no-ext-diff" can be used to override that setting.

But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do, I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them.. The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts with generating patches and generating the log. So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory. To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just did it. I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises ("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code itself isn't really that complicated. All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that* particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname. One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history. IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the history could be linearized. Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model, I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in parallel. And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to you. What matters to you is that you can now do git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to "builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

| * | Fix 'diff' attribute semantics.Junio C Hamano2007-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is in the same spirit as the previous one. Earlier 'diff' meant 'do the built-in binary heuristics and disable patch text generation based on it' while '!diff' meant 'do not guess, do not generate patch text'. There was no way to say 'do generate patch text even when the heuristics says it has NUL in it'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

Of course, since what descibes a subproject is just the SHA1, that's what we'll use. Add some pretty-printing to make it a bit more obvious what is going on, and we're done. So with this, we can get both raw diffs and "textual" diffs of subproject changes: - git diff --raw: :160000 160000 2de597b5ad348b7db04bd10cdd38cd81cbc93ab5 0000000...

We'll also want to have the ability to recurse into the subproject and actually diff it recursively, but that will involve a new command line option (I'd suggest "--subproject" and "-S", but the latter is in use by pickaxe), and some very different code. But regardless of ay future recursive behaviour, we need the non-recursive version too (and it should be the default, at least in the absense of config options, so that large superprojects don't default to something extremely expensive).

* | Show binary file size change in diff --statAndy Parkins2007-04-05
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, a binary file in the diffstat would show as: some-binary-file.bin | Bin The space after the "Bin" was never used. This patch changes binary lines in the diffstat to be: some-binary-file.bin | Bin 12345 -> 123456 bytes The very nice "->" notation was suggested by Johannes Schindelin, and shows the before and after sizes more clearly than "+" and "-" would. If a size is 0 it's not shown (although it would probably be better to treat no-file differently from zero-byte-file). The user can see what changed in the binary file, and how big the new file is. This is in keeping with the information in the rest of the diffstat. The diffstat_t members "added" and "deleted" were unused when the file was binary, so this patch loads them with the file sizes in builtin_diffstat(). These figures are then read in show_stats() when the file is marked binary. Signed-off-by: Andy Parkins <andyparkins@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
* diff --quietJunio C Hamano2007-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the command line option 'quiet' to tell 'git diff-*' that we are not interested in the actual diff contents but only want to know if there is any change. This option automatically turns --exit-code on, and turns off output formatting, as it does not make much sense to show the first hit we happened to have found. The --quiet option is silently turned off (but --exit-code is still in effect, so is silent output) if postprocessing filters such as pickaxe and diff-filter are used. For all practical purposes I do not think of a reason to want to use these filters and not viewing the diff output. The backends have not been taught about the option with this patch. That is a topic for later rounds. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
