* Make revision limiting more robust against occasional bad commit datesLinus Torvalds2008-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The revision limiter uses the commit date to decide when it has seen enough commits to finalize the revision list, but that can get confused if there are incorrect dates far in the past on some commits. This makes the logic a bit more robust by - we always walk an extra SLOP commits from the source list even if we decide that the source list is probably all done (unless the source is entirely empty, of course, because then we really can't do anything at all) - we keep track of the date of the last commit we added to the destination list (this will *generally* be the oldest entry we've seen so far) - we compare that with the youngest entry (the first one) of the source list, and if the destination is older than the source, we know we want to look at the source. which causes occasional date mishaps to be handled cleanly.

When you start from a subdirectory: $ git diff --relative shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory, and without $prefix part. People who usually live in subdirectories may like it. There are a few things I should also mention about the change: - This works not just with diff but also works with the log family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected. In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say: $ git log --relative -p but it will show the log message even for commits that do not touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving pathspec yourself: $ git log --relative -p . This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory but show the changes with full context. I think it makes more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current subdirectory, which would break the symmetry. - Because this works also with the log family, you could format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your subdirectory, like so: $ cd gitk-git $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will never become the default, with or without repository or user preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did so. - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the combined use of the options, but probably I should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's really not very easy to visualize the commit walker, because - on purpose - it obvously doesn't show the uninteresting commits! This adds a "--show-all" flag to the revision walker, which will make it show uninteresting commits too, and they'll have a '^' in front of them (it also fixes a logic error for !verbose_header for boundary commits - we should show the '-' even if left_right isn't shown). A separate patch to gitk to teach it the new '^' was sent to paulus. With the change in place, it actually is interesting even for the cases that git doesn't have any problems with, ie for the kernel you can do: gitk -d --show-all v2.6.24.. and you see just how far down it has to parse things to see it all. The use of "-d" is a good idea, since the date-ordered toposort is much better at showing why it goes deep down (ie the date of some of those commits after 2.6.24 is much older, because they were merged from trees that weren't rebased). So I think this is a useful feature even for non-debugging - just to visualize what git does internally more. When it actually breaks out due to the "everybody_uninteresting()" case, it adds the uninteresting commits (both the one it's looking at now, and the list of pending ones) to the list This way, we really list *all* the commits we've looked at. Because we now end up listing commits we may not even have been parsed at all "show_log" and "show_commit" need to protect against commits that don't have a commit buffer entry. That second part is debatable just how it should work. Maybe we shouldn't show such entries at all (with this patch those entries do get shown, they just don't get any message shown with them). But I think this is a useful case. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of warning the user that it is expecting git log output from the standard input (and waiting for the user to type the log from the keyboard, which is a silly thing to do), default to traverse from HEAD when there is no rev parameter given and the standard input is a tty. This factors out a useful helper "add_head()" from builtin-diff.c to a more appropriate place revision.c while renaming it to more descriptive name add_head_to_pending(), as that is what the function is about.

But an object can get the "parsed" flag for other reasons. Which means that "TREECHANGE" has the wrong polarity. This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an uninteresting commits. From now on, we consider a commit interesting by default, and explicitly mark the ones we decided to prune. The flag is renamed to "TREESAME". Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with incomplete pruning. It basically says "a commit that has TREESAME set is kind-of-UNINTERESTING", but obviously in a different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit. Until we parse and examine enough parents to determine if a commit becomes surely "kind-of-UNINTERESTING", we avoid rewriting the ancestry so that later rounds can fix things up.

It then just replaces it with a bit that says "prune or not", and if not pruning, every commit gets TREECHANGE. That in turn means that - if (!revs->prune_fn || (flags & TREECHANGE)) - if (revs->prune_fn && !(flags & TREECHANGE)) just become - if (flags & TREECHANGE) - if (!(flags & TREECHANGE)) respectively. Together with adding the "single_parent()" helper function, the "complex" conditional now becomes if (!(flags & TREECHANGE) && rev->dense && single_parent(commit)) continue; Also indirection of "revs->dense" checking is thrown away the same way, because TREECHANGE bit is set appropriately now.

I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical, since it's not really final until it also says "done", but It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant to be exact. So what happens is that you may get output like this: - at 0.1 seconds: Final output: 2 incomplete .. 2 commits listed .. - half a second later: Final output: 33 incomplete .. 33 commits listed .. - another half a second after that: Final output: 71 incomplete .. 71 commits listed .. - another half second later: Final output: 136 incomplete .. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and .. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not .. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much .. early output as you asked for! - .. and then finally: Final output: 73106 done .. all the commits .. The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having flushed all the caches. Tested with the experimental gitk patch that Paul sent out, and by looking at the actual log output (and verifying that my commit count guesses actually match real life fairly well).

This allows GUI programs to state that they want to get some output early, in order to be able to show at least something quickly, even if the full output may take longer to generate. If no count is specified, a default count of a hundred commits will be used, although the actual numbr of commits output may be smaller depending on how many commits were actually found in the first tenth of a second (or if *everything* was found before that, in which case no early output will be provided, and only the final list is made available). When the full list is generated, there will be a "Final output:" string prepended to it, regardless of whether any early commits were shown or not, so that the consumer can always know the difference between early output and the final list.

Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function, exactly the same way pickaxe does. So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment). Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following (which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs themselves. So while "git log --follow <filename>" didn't work, adding a "-p" magically made it work again even without this fix.

Try this: git log -C and notice how it prints an extra empty line in between log entries, even though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff format, so the diff machinery never prints anything). With this patch, that bogus empty line is gone, because "revs->diff" is never set. So this isn't just a "wasted time and effort" issue, it's also a slight semantic fix.

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.
