018cff7046 diff.c: emit_add_line() takes only the rest of the line
As the first character on the line that is fed to this function is always
"+", it is pointless to send that along with the rest of the line.

This change will make it easier to reuse the logic when emitting the
rewrite diff, as we do not want to copy a line only to add "+"/"-"/" "
immediately before its first character when we produce rewrite diff
output.

250f79930d diff.c: split emit_line() from the first char and the rest of the line
A new helper function emit_line_0() takes the first line of diff output
(typically "-", " ", or "+") separately from the remainder of the line.
No other functional changes.

This change will make it easier to reuse the logic when emitting the

6957eb9a39 diff.c: shuffling code around
Move function, type, and structure definitions for fill_mmfile(),
count_trailing_blank(), check_blank_at_eof(), emit_line(),
new_blank_line_at_eof(), emit_add_line(), sane_truncate_fn, and
emit_callback up in the file, so that they can be refactored into helper
functions and reused by codepath for emitting rewrite patches.

This only moves the lines around to make the next two patches easier to
read.

d68fe26f3e diff --whitespace: fix blank lines at end
The earlier logic tried to colour any and all blank lines that were added
beyond the last blank line in the original, but this was very wrong.  If
you added 96 blank lines, a non-blank line, and then 3 blank lines at the
end, only the last 3 lines should trigger the error, not the earlier 96
blank lines.

We need to also make sure that the lines are after the last non-blank line
in the postimage as well before deciding to paint them.

690ed84363 diff --color: color blank-at-eof
Since the coloring logic processed the patch output one line at a time, we
couldn't easily color code the new blank lines at the end of file.

Reuse the adds_blank_at_eof() function to find where the runs of such
blank lines start, keep track of the line number in the preimage while
processing the patch output one line at a time, and paint the new blank
lines that appear after that line to implement this.

467babf8d0 diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check
The "diff --check" logic used to share the same issue as the one fixed for
"git apply" earlier in this series, in that a patch that adds new blank
lines at end could appear as

    @@ -l,5 +m,7 @@$
    _context$
    _context$
    -deleted$

where _ stands for SP and $ shows a end-of-line.  Instead of looking at
each line in the patch in the callback, simply count the blank lines from
the end in two versions, and notice the presence of new ones.

5b5061efd8 diff --whitespace=warn/error: obey blank-at-eof
The "diff --check" code used to conflate trailing-space whitespace error
class with this, but now we have a proper separate error class, we should
check it under blank-at-eof, not trailing-space.

The whitespace error is not about _having_ blank lines at end, but about
adding _new_ blank lines.  To keep the message consistent with what is
given by "git apply", call whitespace_error_string() to generate it,
instead of using a hardcoded custom message.

90b1994170 diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B").  As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.

Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET
option everywhere.

f245194f9a diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
Traditionally, the --ignore-whitespace* options have merely meant to tell
the diff output routine that some class of differences are not worth
showing in the textual diff output, so that the end user has easier time
to review the remaining (presumably more meaningful) changes.  These
options never affected the outcome of the command, given as the exit
status when the --exit-code option was in effect (either directly or
indirectly).

When you have only whitespace changes, however, you might expect

	git diff -b --exit-code

to report that there is _no_ change with zero exit status.

Change the semantics of --ignore-whitespace* options to mean more than
"omit showing the difference in text".

The exit status, when --exit-code is in effect, is computed by checking if
we found any differences at the path level, while diff frontends feed
filepairs to the diffcore engine.  When "ignore whitespace" options are in
effect, we defer this determination until the very end of diffcore
transformation.  We simply do not know until the textual diff is
generated, which comes very late in the pipeline.

When --quiet is in effect, various diff frontends optimize by breaking out
early from the loop that enumerates the filepairs, when we find the first
path level difference; when --ignore-whitespace* is used the above change
automatically disables this optimization.

691f1a28bf replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warn
This helps to notice when something's going wrong, especially on
systems which lock open files.

I used the following criteria when selecting the code for replacement:
- it was already printing a warning for the unlink failures
- it is in a function which already printing something or is
  called from such a function
- it is in a static function, returning void and the function is only
  called from a builtin main function (cmd_)
- it is in a function which handles emergency exit (signal handlers)
- it is in a function which is obvously cleaning up the lockfiles

cced5fbc24 Allow users to un-configure rename detection
I told people on the kernel mailing list to please use "-M" when sending
me rename patches, so that I can see what they do while reading email
rather than having to apply the patch and then look at the end result.

I also told them that if they want to make it the default, they can just
add

	[diff]
		renames

to their ~/.gitconfig file. And while I was thinking about that, I wanted
to also check whether you can then mark individual projects to _not_ have
that default in the per-repository .git/config file.

And you can't. Currently you cannot have a global "enable renames by
default" and then a local ".. but not for _this_ project". Why? Because if
somebody writes

	[diff]
		renames = no

we simply ignore it, rather than resetting "diff_detect_rename_default"
back to zero.

Fixed thusly.

150115aded diff --cached: do not borrow from a work tree when a path is marked as assume-unchanged
When the index says that the file in the work tree that corresponds to the
blob object that is used for comparison is known to be unchanged, "diff"
reads from the file and applies convert_to_git(), instead of inflating the
object, to feed the internal diff engine with, because an earlier
benchnark found that it tends to be faster to use this optimization.

However, the index can lie when the path is marked as assume-unchanged.
Disable the optimization for such paths.

b67b9612e1 diff.c: output correct index lines for a split diff
A patch that changes the filetype (e.g. regular file to symlink) of a path
must be split into a deletion event followed by a creation event, which
means that we need to have two independent metainfo lines for each.
However, the code reused the single set of metainfo lines.

As the blob object names recorded on the index lines are usually not used
nor validated on the receiving end, this is not an issue with normal use
of the resulting patch.  However, when accepting a binary patch to delete
a blob, git-apply verified that the postimage blob object name on the
index line is 0{40}, hence a patch that deletes a regular file blob that
records binary contents to create a blob with different filetype (e.g. a
symbolic link) failed to apply.  "git am -3" also uses the blob object
names recorded on the index line, so it would also misbehave when
synthesizing a preimage tree.

This moves the code to generate metainfo lines around, so that two
independent sets of metainfo lines are used for the split halves.

Additional tests by Jeff King.

57b235a4bc refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
The current code is very inconsistent about which signals
are caught for doing cleanup of temporary files and lock
files. Some callsites checked only SIGINT, while others
checked a variety of death-dealing signals.

This patch factors out those signals to a single function,
and then calls it everywhere. For some sites, that means
this is a simple clean up. For others, it is an improvement
in that they will now properly clean themselves up after a
larger variety of signals.

4a16d07272 chain kill signals for cleanup functions
If a piece of code wanted to do some cleanup before exiting
(e.g., cleaning up a lockfile or a tempfile), our usual
strategy was to install a signal handler that did something
like this:

  do_cleanup(); /* actual work */
  signal(signo, SIG_DFL); /* restore previous behavior */
  raise(signo); /* deliver signal, killing ourselves */

For a single handler, this works fine. However, if we want
to clean up two _different_ things, we run into a problem.
The most recently installed handler will run, but when it
removes itself as a handler, it doesn't put back the first
handler.

This patch introduces sigchain, a tiny library for handling
a stack of signal handlers. You sigchain_push each handler,
and use sigchain_pop to restore whoever was before you in
the stack.

479b0ae81c diff: refactor tempfile cleanup handling
There are two pieces of code that create tempfiles for diff:
run_external_diff and run_textconv. The former cleans up its
tempfiles in the face of premature death (i.e., by die() or
by signal), but the latter does not. After this patch, they
will both use the same cleanup routines.

To make clear what the change is, let me first explain what
happens now:

  - run_external_diff uses a static global array of 2
    diff_tempfile structs (since it knows it will always
    need exactly 2 tempfiles). It calls prepare_temp_file
    (which doesn't know anything about the global array) on
    each of the structs, creating the tempfiles that need to
    be cleaned up. It then registers atexit and signal
    handlers to look through the global array and remove the
    tempfiles. If it succeeds, it calls the handler manually
    (which marks the tempfile structs as unused).

  - textconv has its own tempfile struct, which it allocates
    using prepare_temp_file and cleans up manually. No
    signal or atexit handlers.

The new code moves the installation of cleanup handlers into
the prepare_temp_file function. Which means that that
function now has to understand that there is static tempfile
storage. So what happens now is:

  - run_external_diff calls prepare_temp_file
  - prepare_temp_file calls claim_diff_tempfile, which
    allocates an unused slot from our global array
  - prepare_temp_file installs (if they have not already
    been installed) atexit and signal handlers for cleanup
  - prepare_temp_file sets up the tempfile as usual
  - prepare_temp_file returns a pointer to the allocated
    tempfile

The advantage being that run_external_diff no longer has to
care about setting up cleanup handlers. Now by virtue of
calling prepare_temp_file, run_textconv gets the same
benefit, as will any future users of prepare_temp_file.

There are also a few side benefits to the specific
implementation:

  - we now install cleanup handlers _before_ allocating the
    tempfile, closing a race which could leave temp cruft

  - when allocating a slot in the global array, we will now
    detect a situation where the old slots were not properly
    vacated (i.e., somebody forgot to call remove upon
    leaving the function). In the old code, such a situation
    would silently overwrite the tempfile names, meaning we
    would forget to clean them up. The new code dies with a
    bug warning.

  - we make sure only to install the signal handler once.
    This isn't a big deal, since we are just overwriting the
    old handler, but will become an issue when a later patch
    converts the code to use sigchain

since then "<foo" becomes a word (and "bar>" doesn't!) even though the

2b6a5417d7 color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
In some applications, words are not delimited by white space.  To
allow for that, you can specify a regular expression describing
what makes a word with

	git diff --color-words='[A-Za-z0-9]+'

Note that words cannot contain newline characters.

As suggested by Thomas Rast, the words are the exact matches of the
regular expression.

Note that a regular expression beginning with a '^' will match only
a word at the beginning of the hunk, not a word at the beginning of
a line, and is probably not what you want.

2e5d2003b2 color-words: change algorithm to allow for 0-character word boundaries
Up until now, the color-words code assumed that word boundaries are
identical to white space characters.

Therefore, it could get away with a very simple scheme: it copied the
hunks, substituted newlines for each white space character, called
libxdiff with the processed text, and then identified the text to
output by the offsets (which agreed since the original text had the
same length).

This code was ugly, for a number of reasons:

- it was impossible to introduce 0-character word boundaries,

- we had to print everything word by word, and

- the code needed extra special handling of newlines in the removed part.

Fix all of these issues by processing the text such that

- we build word lists, separated by newlines,

- we remember the original offsets for every word, and

- after calling libxdiff on the wordlists, we parse the hunk headers, and
  find the corresponding offsets, and then

- we print the removed/added parts in one go.

The pre and post samples in the test were provided by Santi Béjar.

Note that there is some strange special handling of hunk headers where
one line range is 0 due to POSIX: in this case, the start is one too
low.  In other words a hunk header '@@ -1,0 +2 @@' actually means that
the line must be added after the _second_ line of the pre text, _not_
the first.

3aa1f7ca37 diff: respect textconv in rewrite diffs
Currently we just skip rewrite diffs for binary files; this
patch makes an exception for files which will be textconv'd,

Conceptually, rewrite diffs should be in the exact same

0c01857df5 diff: fix handling of binary rewrite diffs
The current emit_rewrite_diff code always writes a text patch without
checking whether the content is binary. This means that if you end up with
a rewrite diff for a binary file, you get lots of raw binary goo in your
patch.

Instead, if we have binary files, then let's just skip emit_rewrite_diff
altogether. We will already have shown the "dissimilarity index" line, so
it is really about the diff contents. If binary diffs are turned off, the
"Binary files a/file and b/file differ" message should be the same in
either case. If we do have binary patches turned on, there isn't much
point in making a less-efficient binary patch that does a total rewrite;
no human is going to read it, and since binary patches don't apply with
any fuzz anyway, the result of application should be the same.

e10ea8126c diff: allow turning on textconv explicitly for plumbing
Some history viewers use the diff plumbing to generate diffs
rather than going through the "git diff" porcelain.
Currently, there is no way for them to specify that they
would like to see the text-converted version of the diff.

This patch adds a "--textconv" option to allow such a
plumbing user to allow text conversion.  The user can then
tell the viewer whether or not they would like text
conversion enabled.

While it may be tempting add a configuration option rather
than requiring each plumbing user to be configured to pass
--textconv, that is somewhat dangerous. Text-converted diffs
generally cannot be applied directly, so each plumbing user
should "opt in" to generating such a diff, either by
explicit request of the user or by confirming that their
output will not be fed to patch.

Note that a typechange may be broken into two parts: the
removal of the old part and the addition of the new. In that

addition or removal of a file we would ordinarily textconv,
since it is purely acting on the file contents.

Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly
cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate

This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which

explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as
well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing).

Because both text conversion and external diffing are
controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the
"plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the
config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but
suffered from being too coarse-grained.

04427ac848 refactor userdiff textconv code
The original implementation of textconv put the conversion
into fill_mmfile. This was a bad idea for a number of
reasons:

 - it made the semantics of fill_mmfile unclear. In some
   cases, it was allocating data (if a text conversion
   occurred), and in some cases not (if we could use the
   data directly from the filespec). But the caller had
   no idea which had happened, and so didn't know whether
   the memory should be freed

 - similarly, the caller had no idea if a text conversion
   had occurred, and so didn't know whether the contents
   should be treated as binary or not. This meant that we
   incorrectly guessed that text-converted content was
   binary and didn't actually show it (unless the user
   overrode us with "diff.foo.binary = false", which then
   created problems in plumbing where the text conversion
   did _not_ occur)

 - not all callers of fill_mmfile want the text contents. In
   particular, we don't really want diffstat, whitespace
   checks, patch id generation, etc, to look at the
   converted contents.

This patch pulls the conversion code directly into
builtin_diff, so that we only see the conversion when
generating an actual patch. We also then know whether we are
doing a conversion, so we can check the binary-ness and free
the data from the mmfile appropriately (the previous version
leaked quite badly when text conversion was used)

9cb92c390c diff: add filter for converting binary to text
When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the
differences of a canonical text form rather than either a
binary patch or simply "binary files differ."

Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an
external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of
work, since the external command needed to take care of
doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the
benefit of git's colorization and other options.

This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a
file to its canonical format before performing the diff.
This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but
is much less work to set up. For example:

  $ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes
  $ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool
  $ git config diff.exif.binary false

allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output
of exiftool.

122aa6f9c0 diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary
The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It
can say one of three things:

  1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not
     (i.e., diff or !diff)
  2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e.,
     diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script)
  3. this file should use particular funcname patterns
     (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex)

Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses,
since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g.,
an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the
file is binary).

However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there
is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether
this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use
this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo
indicates that the file is definitely text.

This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff
driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We
default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff
attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have
no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current
behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true.

This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up
the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling
code had to know more about whether attributes were false,
true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness
is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations
just by passing back a driver struct.

be58e70dba diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code
Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile
as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then
pull information about that profile from the config as
diff.foo.*.

The code for each is currently completely separate from the
other, which has several disadvantages:

  - there is duplication as we maintain code to create and
    search the separate lists of external drivers and
    funcname patterns

  - it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is
    unclear where they should go

  - the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the
    "check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname
    pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in
    refactoring the binary-checking code.

This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff"
drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which
is specified by a single struct.

Note that one major difference between the two pieces of
code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded,
whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff"
porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.

f285a2d7ed Replace calls to strbuf_init(&foo, 0) with STRBUF_INIT initializer
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.

71b989e7dd fix bogus "diff --git" header from "diff --no-index"
When "git diff --no-index" is given an absolute pathname, it
would generate a diff header with the absolute path
prepended by the prefix, like:

  diff --git a/dev/null b/foo

Not only is this nonsensical, and not only does it violate
the description of diffs given in git-diff(1), but it would
produce broken binary diffs. Unlike text diffs, the binary
diffs don't contain the filenames anywhere else, and so "git
apply" relies on this header to figure out the filename.

This patch just refuses to use an invalid name for anything
visible in the diff.

Now, this fixes the "git diff --no-index --binary a
/dev/null" kind of case (and we'll end up using "a" as the
basename), but some other insane cases are impossible to
handle. If you do

	git diff --no-index --binary a /bin/echo

you'll still get a patch like

	diff --git a/a b/bin/echo
	old mode 100644
	new mode 100755
	index ...

and "git apply" will refuse to apply it for a couple of
reasons, and the diff is simply bogus.

And that, btw, is no longer a bug, I think. It's impossible
to know whethe the user meant for the patch to be a rename
or not. And as such, refusing to apply it because you don't
know what name you should use is probably _exactly_ the
right thing to do!

9126f0091f fix openssl headers conflicting with custom SHA1 implementations
On ARM I have the following compilation errors:

    CC fast-import.o
In file included from cache.h:8,
                 from builtin.h:6,
                 from fast-import.c:142:

/usr/include/openssl/sha.h:117: error: previous declaration of 'SHA1_Final' was here
make: *** [fast-import.o] Error 1

This is because openssl header files are always included in
git-compat-util.h since commit 684ec6c63c whenever NO_OPENSSL is not
set, which somehow brings in <openssl/sha1.h> clashing with the custom
ARM version.  Compilation of git is probably broken on PPC too for the
same reason.

Turns out that the only file requiring openssl/ssl.h and openssl/err.h
is imap-send.c.  But only moving those problematic includes there
doesn't solve the issue as it also includes cache.h which brings in the
conflicting local SHA1 header file.

As suggested by Jeff King, the best solution is to rename our references
to SHA1 functions and structure to something git specific, and define those
according to the implementation used.

3d8dccd74a diff: fix "multiple regexp" semantics to find hunk header comment
When multiple regular expressions are concatenated with "\n", they were
traditionally AND'ed together, and only a line that matches _all_ of them
is taken as a match.  This however is unwieldy when multiple regexp
feature is used to specify alternatives.

This fixes the semantics to take the first match.  A nagative pattern, if
matches, makes the line to fail as before.  A match with a positive
pattern will be the final match, and what it captures in $1 is used as the
hunk header comment.

We could write alternatives using "|" in ERE, but the machinery can only
use captured $1 as the hunk header comment (or $0 if there is no match in
$1), so you cannot write:

    "junk ( A | B ) | garbage ( C | D )"

and expect both "junk" and "garbage" to get stripped with the existing
code.  With this fix, you can write it as:

    "junk ( A | B ) \n garbage ( C | D )"

and the way capture works would match the user expectation more
naturally.

45d9414fa5 diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header selection
Currently, the hunk headers produced by 'diff -p' are customizable by
setting the diff.*.funcname option in the config file. The 'funcname' option
takes a basic regular expression. This functionality was designed using the
GNU regex library which, by default, allows using backslashed versions of
some extended regular expression operators, even in Basic Regular Expression
mode. For example, the following characters, when backslashed, are
interpreted according to the extended regular expression rules: ?, +, and |.
As such, the builtin funcname patterns were created using some extended
regular expression operators.

Other platforms which adhere more strictly to the POSIX spec do not
interpret the backslashed extended RE operators in Basic Regular Expression
mode. This causes the pattern matching for the builtin funcname patterns to
fail on those platforms.

Introduce a new option 'xfuncname' which uses extended regular expressions,
and advertise it _instead_ of funcname. Since most users are on GNU
platforms, the majority of funcname patterns are created and tested there.
Advertising only xfuncname should help to avoid the creation of non-portable
patterns which work with GNU regex but not elsewhere.

Additionally, the extended regular expressions may be less ugly and
complicated compared to the basic RE since many common special operators do
not need to be backslashed.

For example, the GNU Basic RE:

    ^[ 	]*\\(\\(public\\|static\\).*\\)$

becomes the following Extended RE:

    ^[ 	]*((public|static).*)$

df58a8274d diff --quiet: make it synonym to --exit-code >/dev/null
The point of --quiet was to return the status as early as possible without
doing any extra processing.  Well behaved scripts, when they expect to run
many diff operations inside, are supposed to run "update-index --refresh"
upfront; we do not want them to pay the price of iterating over the index
and comparing the contents to fix the stat dirtiness, and we avoided most
of the processing in diffcore_std() when --quiet is in effect.

But scripts that adhere to the good practice won't have to pay any more
price than the necessary lstat(2) that will report stat cleanliness, as
long as only -q is given without any fancier diff options.

More importantly, users who do ask for "--quiet -M --filter=D" (in order
to notice only the deletion, not paths that disappeared only because they
have been renamed away) deserve to get the result they asked for, even it
means they have to pay the extra price; the alternative is to get a cheap
early return that gives a result they did not ask for, which is much
worse.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;

3928097020 diff: Help "less" hide ^M from the output
When the tracked contents have CRLF line endings, colored diff output
shows "^M" at the end of output lines, which is distracting, even though
the pager we use by default ("less") knows to hide them.

The problem is that "less" hides a carriage-return only at the end of the
line, immediately before a line feed.  The colored diff output does not
take this into account, and emits four element sequence for each line:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating line feed;
   - reset color
   - line feed.

By including the carriage return at the end of the line in the second
item, we are breaking the smart our pager has in order not to show "^M".
This can be fixed by changing the sequence to:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating end-of-line;
   - reset color
   - end-of-line.

where end-of-line is either a single linefeed or a CRLF pair.  When the
output is not colored, "force this color" and "reset color" sequences are
both empty, so we won't have this problem with or without this patch.

  Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
  for-each-ref: Allow a trailing slash in the patterns
2008-08-29 00:16:39 -07:00
Linus Torvalds
441bca0bbc Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming
The dirstat code depends on the fact that we always generate diffs with
the names sorted, since it then just does a single-pass walk-over of the
sorted list of names and how many changes there were. The sorting means
that all files are nicely grouped by directory.

That all works fine.

Except when we have rename detection, and suddenly the nicely sorted list
of pathnames isn't all that sorted at all. And now the single-pass dirstat
walk gets all confused, and you can get results like this:

  [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
     3.0% arch/powerpc/configs/
     6.8% arch/arm/configs/
     2.7% arch/powerpc/configs/
     4.2% arch/arm/configs/
     5.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
     8.4% arch/arm/configs/
     5.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
    23.3% arch/arm/configs/
     8.6% arch/powerpc/configs/
     4.0% arch/
     4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
     4.0% drivers/watchdog/
     7.6% drivers/
     3.5% fs/

The trivial fix is to add a sorting pass, fixing it to:

  [torvalds@nehalem linux]$ git diff --dirstat=2 -M v2.6.27-rc4..v2.6.27-rc5
    43.0% arch/arm/configs/
    25.5% arch/powerpc/configs/
     5.3% arch/
     4.4% drivers/usb/musb/
     4.0% drivers/watchdog/
     7.6% drivers/
     3.5% fs/

Spot the difference. In case anybody wonders: it's because of a ton of

The code remembered that the last diff output it saw was an empty line,
and tried to reset that state whenever it sees a context line, a non-blank
new line, or a new hunk.  However, this codepath asks the underlying diff
engine to feed diff without any context, and the "just saw an empty line"
state was not reset if you added a new blank line in the last hunk of your
patch, even if it is not the last line of the file.

8a3f524bf2 xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from the caller
This further enhances xdi_diff_outf() interface so that it takes two
common parameters: the callback function that processes one line at a
time, and a pointer to its application specific callback data structure.
xdi_diff_outf() creates its own "xdiff_emit_state" structure and stashes
these two away inside it, which is used by the lowest level output
function in the xdiff_outf() callchain, consume_one(), to call back to the
application layer.  With this restructuring, we lift the requirement that
the caller supplied callback data structure embeds xdiff_emit_state
structure as its first member.

2b6ca6df2d diff.renamelimit is a basic diff configuration
The configuration was added as a core option in 3299c6f (diff: make
default rename detection limit configurable., 2005-11-15), but 9ce392f
(Move diff.renamelimit out of default configuration., 2005-11-21)
separated diff-related stuff out of the core.

Up to that point it was Ok.

When we separated the Porcelain options out of the git_diff_config in
83ad63c (diff: do not use configuration magic at the core-level,
2006-07-08), we should have been more careful.

This mistake made diff-tree plumbing and git-show Porcelain to notice
different set of renames when the user explicitly asked for rename
detection.

6b2fbaaffc format-patch: Produce better output with --inline or --attach
This patch makes two small changes to improve the output of --inline
and --attach.

The first is to write a newline preceding the boundary. This is needed because
MIME defines the encapsulation boundary as including the preceding CRLF (or in
this case, just LF), so we should be writing one. Without this, the last
newline in the pre-diff content is consumed instead.

The second change is to always write the line termination character
(default: newline) even when using --inline or --attach. This is simply to
improve the aesthetics of the resulting message. When using --inline an email
client should render the resulting message identically to the non-inline
version. And when using --attach this adds a blank line preceding the
attachment in the email, which is visually attractive.

06ff64ae3d diff: reset color before printing newline
It worked that way since commit 50f575fc (Tweak diff colors,
2006-06-22), but commit c1795bb0 (Unify whitespace checking, 2007-12-13)
changed it.  This patch restores the old behaviour.

Besides Linus' arguments in the log message of 50f575fc, resetting color
before printing newline is also important to keep 'git add --patch'
happy.  If the last line(s) of a file are removed, then that hunk will
end with a colored line.  However, if the newline comes before the color
reset, then the diff output will have an additional line at the end
containing only the reset sequence.  This causes trouble in
git-add--interactive.perl's parse_diff function, because @colored will
have one more element than @diff, and that last element will contain the
color reset.  The elements of these arrays will then be copied to @hunk,
but only as many as the number of elements in @diff.  As a result the
last color reset is lost and all subsequent terminal output will be
printed in color.

In some cases, we produce a diffstat line even though no
lines have changed (e.g., because of an exact rename). In
this case, there is no +/- "graph" after the number of
changed lines. However, we output the space separator
unconditionally, meaning that these lines contained a
trailing space character.

This isn't a huge problem, but in cleaning up the output we

The current rename limit default of 100 was arbitrarily

This patch bumps the default limit to 200 for viewing diffs,
and to 500 for performing a merge. The limit for generating
git-status templates is set independently; we bump it up to
200 here, as well, to match the diff limit.

Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree
has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so.

There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to
clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and
work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read
from the submodule repository HEAD.  When ce_stat_match() says work tree
is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side.

8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests.
E.g., it replaces code like this:

        if (some_expression)
                free (some_expression);

with the now-equivalent:

        free (some_expression);

It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL)
to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for
so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test.
Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago:

    http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html

FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following:

  git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \
  perl -0x3b -pi -e \
    's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s'

Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like
"if (x) { free (x); }".  But that's ok, since there were none like
that in git sources.

Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can
produce syntactically invalid C code.  That happens when the
affected "if"-statement has a matching "else".
E.g., it would transform this

  if (x)
    free (x);
  else
    foo ();

into this:

  free (x);
  else
    foo ();

There were none of those here, either.

If you're interested in automating detection of the useless
tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib:
[it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S
 option to make it detect free-like functions with different names]

cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
This adds --relative option to the diff family.  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.

7df7c019c2 Add "--dirstat" for some directory statistics
This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I
have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's
actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an
project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated
directory structure with semantic meaning.

What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which
sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you
don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves.

What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often
hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a
very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that
such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another
patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_
subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a
couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in
themselves.

So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific
sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the
subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level
changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific
directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts
that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should
show up as under the more generic top-level directory.

This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either
something simple like

	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  15.3% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

where that latter example is an example of significant work in some
individual fs/*/ subdirectories (like the patches to reiserfs accounting
for 7.6% of the whole), but then discounting those individual filesystems,
there's also 15.3% other "random" things that weren't worth reporting on
their oen left over under fs/ in general (either in that directory itself,
or in subdirectories of fs/ that didn't have enough changes to be reported
individually).

I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that
is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own.
So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se,
because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs,
7.6% of fuse etc.

If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the
"--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when
they have been already reported for a sub-directory.  That cumulative
output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from
a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to
the root.

For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes

	commit e231c2e...
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Thu Feb 7 00:15:26 2008 -0800

	    Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

	  20.5% crypto/
	   7.6% fs/afs/
	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  61.5% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

in which the commit percentages now obviously add up to much more than
100%: now the changes that were already reported for the sub-directories
under fs/ are then cumulatively included in the whole percentage of fs/
(ie now shows 61.5% as opposed to the 15.3% without the cumulative
reporting).

The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems
to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by
giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be
at 5% instead)

NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed,
not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not
generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we
don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count,
but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories).

Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me,
but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few
subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you
combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc.

But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out

        git log --dirstat

and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/,
gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like

        git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4

which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general,
the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and
doing a

        git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1

on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

21e5ad50fc safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout.  A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git.  For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.

If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes.  Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted.  You can explicitly tell
git that this file is binary and git will handle the file
appropriately.

Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished.  In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way.  For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.

This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about
an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert.  The
mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the
following values:

 - false: disable safecrlf mechanism
 - warn: warn about irreversible conversions
 - true: refuse irreversible conversions

The default is to warn.  Users are only affected by this default
if core.autocrlf is set.  But the current default of git is to
leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless
they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism.

The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command.  The
general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are:

 - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an
   irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the
   original file.

 - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree
   we do not not print annoying warnings.

There are exceptions.  Even though...

 - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the
   next checkout would, so the safety triggers;

 - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files
   in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF
   conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the
   safety does not trigger;

 - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is
   often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add".  To
   catch potential problems early, safety triggers.

The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar
way by Linus Torvalds.  Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting
on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right.

eadb583134 Avoid running lstat(2) on the same cache entry.
Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are
quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath.  This
patch is not about reducing them.

 * It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the
   cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to
   date in the work tree.  If somebody later walks the index and
   wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have
   to be checked with lstat(2) again.

 * fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added
   with CE_UPTODATE.  This has the effect of marking the paths
   we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no
   need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot
   fo callers:

    - git-apply --index
    - git-update-index
    - git-checkout-index
    - git-add (uses add_file_to_index())
    - git-commit (ditto)
    - git-mv (ditto)

 * refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean
   with CE_UPTODATE.

 * write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the
   index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only
   in core.  For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to
   prevent an accident from happening.

9a1805a872 add a "basic" diff config callback
The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set
porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on
color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this
function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color
or rename detection.

However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing
and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in
git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This
means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that
once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but
_not_ the color.diff variable.

We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where
"basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things
affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).

Note that although the textual content is basically the same only
"git diff --check" provides a colorized version of the problematic
lines; making "git apply" do colorization will require more extensive
changes (figuring out the diff colorization preferences of the user)
and so that will be a subject for another commit.

c1795bb08a Unify whitespace checking
This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was
performed:

 - the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is
extracted into a function in ws.c

 - the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed

 - the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also
rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c

The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things:
checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking
is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the
caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on
the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display
whitespace errors in blobs.

At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors
found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

There is no reason --exit-code and --check-diff must be mutually
exclusive, so assign different bits to different results and allow them
to be returned from the command.  Introduce diff_result_code() to factor
out the common code to decide final status code based on diffopt

f604652e05 git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readable
The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed
paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible.  The scripts would
never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format.

This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward
incompatible way.

 * The output without -z is not changed.  This has given a good way for
   humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the
   path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability.

 * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames.
   Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all.

 * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can
   easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path.

This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch.  Bugs and documentation typos
are mine.

cf1b7869f0 Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace rule
The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what
`diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in
the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]).  This attribute gives you finer
control per path.

For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes:

    frotz   whitespace
    nitfol  -whitespace
    xyzzy   whitespace=-trailing

all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz'
(i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about
them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the
default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are
noticed for path 'xyzzy'.  A project with mixed Python and C might want
to have:

    *.c    whitespace
    *.py   whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab

in its toplevel .gitattributes file.

If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the
command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command
line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this:

    git config --get-colorbool color.diff true

When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output

"true"), and "false" otherwise.

The error is about starting a line with 8 or more SP, instead of
indenting it with a HT.

This is not enabled by default, as some projects employ an

a9cc857ada War on whitespace: first, a bit of retreat.
This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets
you specify the definition of "whitespace error".

Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined:

 * trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line.

 * space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the
   indent part of the line.

You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by
listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted)
separated by comma.  By default, these two errors are always
detected, as that is the traditional behaviour.  You can disable
detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in
front of the name of the error, like this:

	[core]
		whitespace = -trailing-space

This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with
DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace
errors to honor the new configuration.

644797119d copy vs rename detection: avoid unnecessary O(n*m) loops
The core rename detection had some rather stupid code to check if a
pathname was used by a later modification or rename, which basically
walked the whole pathname space for all renames for each rename, in
order to tell whether it was a pure rename (no remaining users) or
should be considered a copy (other users of the source file remaining).

That's really silly, since we can just keep a count of users around, and
replace all those complex and expensive loops with just testing that
simple counter (but this all depends on the previous commit that shared
the diff_filespec data structure by using a separate reference count).

Note that the reference count is not the same as the rename count: they
behave otherwise rather similarly, but the reference count is tied to
the allocation (and decremented at de-allocation, so that when it turns
zero we can get rid of the memory), while the rename count is tied to
the renames and is decremented when we find a rename (so that when it
turns zero we know that it was a rename, not a copy).

9fb88419ba Ref-count the filespecs used by diffcore
Rather than copy the filespecs when introducing new versions of them
(for rename or copy detection), use a refcount and increment the count
when reusing the diff_filespec.

This avoids unnecessary allocations, but the real reason behind this is
a future enhancement: we will want to track shared data across the
copy/rename detection.  In order to efficiently notice when a filespec
is used by a rename, the rename machinery wants to keep track of a
rename usage count which is shared across all different users of the
filespec.

eede7b7d11 diffcore-rename: cache file deltas
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.

b315c5c081 strbuf change: be sure ->buf is never ever NULL.
For that purpose, the ->buf is always initialized with a char * buf living
in the strbuf module. It is made a char * so that we can sloppily accept
things that perform: sb->buf[0] = '\0', and because you can't pass "" as an
initializer for ->buf without making gcc unhappy for very good reasons.

strbuf_init/_detach/_grow have been fixed to trust ->alloc and not ->buf
anymore.

as a consequence strbuf_detach is _mandatory_ to detach a buffer, copying
->buf isn't an option anymore, if ->buf is going to escape from the scope,
and eventually be free'd.

API changes:
  * strbuf_setlen now always works, so just make strbuf_reset a convenience
    macro.
  * strbuf_detatch takes a size_t* optional argument (meaning it can be
    NULL) to copy the buffer's len, as it was needed for this refactor to
    make the code more readable, and working like the callers.

663af3422a Full rework of quote_c_style and write_name_quoted.
* quote_c_style works on a strbuf instead of a wild buffer.
* quote_c_style is now clever enough to not add double quotes if not needed.

* write_name_quoted inherits those advantages, but also take a different
  set of arguments. Now instead of asking for quotes or not, you pass a
  "terminator". If it's \0 then we assume you don't want to escape, else C
  escaping is performed. In any case, the terminator is also appended to the
  stream. It also no longer takes the prefix/prefix_len arguments, as it's
  seldomly used, and makes some optimizations harder.

* write_name_quotedpfx is created to work like write_name_quoted and take
  the prefix/prefix_len arguments.

Thanks to those API changes, diff.c has somehow lost weight, thanks to the
removal of functions that were wrappers around the old write_name_quoted
trying to give it a semantics like the new one, but performing a lot of
allocations for this goal. Now we always write directly to the stream, no
intermediate allocation is performed.

As a side effect of the refactor in builtin-apply.c, the length of the bar
graphs in diffstats are not affected anymore by the fact that the path was
clipped.

5ecd293d14 Rewrite convert_to_{git,working_tree} to use strbuf's.
* Now, those functions take an "out" strbuf argument, where they store their

* those functions support "in place" editing, in the sense that it's OK to
  call them this way:
    convert_to_git(path, sb->buf, sb->len, sb);
  When doable, conversions are done in place for real, else the strbuf
  content is just replaced with the new one, transparentely for the caller.

If you want to create a new filter working this way, being the accumulation
of filter1, filter2, ... filtern, then your meta_filter would be:

    int meta_filter(..., const char *src, size_t len, struct strbuf *sb)
    {
        int ret = 0;
        ret |= filter1(...., src, len, sb);
        if (ret) {
            src = sb->buf;
            len = sb->len;

        }
        ....
        return ret | filtern(..., src, len, sb);
    }

That's why subfilters the convert_to_* functions called were also rewritten

0024a54923 Fix the rename detection limit checking
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.

aecbf914c4 git-diff: resurrect the traditional empty "diff --git" behaviour
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.

2f82f760e1 Take binary diffs into account for "git rebase"
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.

6d2d9e8666 diff: squelch empty diffs even more
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.

fb13227e08 git-diff: squelch "empty" diffs
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.

e0e324a4dc Fix configuration syntax to specify customized hunk header patterns.
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.

f258475a6e Per-path attribute based hunk header selection.
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.

72909befaa Add diff-option --ext-diff
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.

750f7b668f Finally implement "git log --follow"
Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I
was always hoping that somebody else would do it.

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.
