cd673c1f17 has_sha1_pack(): refactor "pretend these packs do not exist" interface
Most of the callers of this function except only one pass NULL to its last
parameter, ignore_packed.

Introduce has_sha1_kept_pack() function that has the function signature
and the semantics of this function, and convert the sole caller that does
not pass NULL to call this new function.

All other callers and has_sha1_pack() lose the ignore_packed parameter.

a8344abe0f Bugfix: GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF with more than one changed files
When there is more than one file that are changed, running git diff with
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF incorrectly diagnoses an programming error and dies.
The check introduced in 479b0ae (diff: refactor tempfile cleanup handling,
2009-01-22) to detect a temporary file slot that forgot to remove its
temporary file was inconsistent with the way the codepath to remove the
temporary to mark the slot that it is done with it.

This patch fixes this problem and adds a test case for it.

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

Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via
the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute.  The user can then set the
driver on a file in .gitattributes.  If a regex is given on the
command line, it overrides the driver's setting.

We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had
funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++.
(The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk
to make sure they remain readable.)

bf82940dbf color-words: enable REG_NEWLINE to help user
We silently truncate a match at the newline, which may lead to
unexpected behaviour, e.g., when matching "<[^>]*>" against

  <foo
  bar>

since then "<foo" becomes a word (and "bar>" doesn't!) even though the
regex said only angle-bracket-delimited things can be words.

To alleviate the problem slightly, use REG_NEWLINE so that negated
classes can't match a newline.  Of course newlines can still be
matched explicitly.

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.

This commit contains a quoting fix by Thomas Rast.

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,
and actually performs the textconv before generating the

Conceptually, rewrite diffs should be in the exact same
format as the a non-rewrite diff, except that we refuse to
share any context. Thus it makes very little sense for "git
diff" to show a textconv'd diff, but for "git diff -B" to
show "Binary files differ".

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.

2675773af8 only textconv regular files
We treat symlinks as text containing the results of the
symlink, so it doesn't make much sense to text-convert them.

Similarly gitlink components just end up as the text
"Subproject commit $sha1", which we should leave intact.

Note that a typechange may be broken into two parts: the
removal of the old part and the addition of the new. In that
case, we _do_ show the textconv for any part which is the
addition or removal of a file we would ordinarily textconv,
since it is purely acting on the file contents.

c7534ef4a1 userdiff: require explicitly allowing textconv
Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly
cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate
them in things like format-patch.

This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which
controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is
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!
