* [PATCH] Diffcore updates.Junio C Hamano2005-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves the path selection logic from individual programs to a new diffcore transformer (diff-tree still needs to have its own for performance reasons). Also the header printing code in diff-tree was tweaked not to produce anything when pickaxe is in effect and there is nothing interesting to report. An interesting example is the following in the GIT archive itself: $ git-whatchanged -p -C -S'or something in a real script' Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.Junio C Hamano2005-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Hamano2005-05-21
| | | | | | | | This does not actually supress the extra headers when pickaxe is used, but prepares enough support for diff-tree to implement it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool "pickaxe".Junio C Hamano2005-05-21
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.
