When dealing with an insanely large Octopus, it is possible to
optimize by noticing that more than one parents have the same
blob and avoid running diff between a parent and the merge
result by reusing an earlier result.

So far, e.g. git-update-index --refresh was basically uninterruptable
by ctrl-c, since it hooked the SIGINT handler, but that handler would
only unlink the lockfile but not actually quit. This makes it propagate
the signal to the default handler.
Note that I expected it to work without resetting the signal handler to
SIG_DFL, but without that it ended in an infinite loop of tgkill()s -
is my glibc violating SUS or what?

Showing the same parent more than once for a commit does not
make much sense downstream, so stop it.
This can happen with an incorrectly made merge commit that
merges the same parent twice, but can happen in an otherwise
sane development history while squishing the history by taking
into account only commits that touch specified paths.
For example,
$ git rev-list --max-count=1 --parents addafaf -- rev-list.c
would have to show this commit ancestry graph:
.---o---.
/ \
.---*---o---.
/ 93b74bc \
---*---o---o-----o---o-----o addafafd8f6b34 \ /
.---o---o---.
\ /
.---*---.

changes in the specified paths since they forked. The last
change for the other three development tracks was done by the
same commit before they forked, and we were showing that three
times.

Here's some changes to the cvs-migration.txt. As usual, in my attempt
to make things clearer someone may have found I've made them less so, or
I may have just gotten something wrong; so any review is welcomed.
I can break up this sort of thing into smaller steps if preferred, the
monolothic patch is just a bit simpler for me for this sort of
thing.
I moved the material describing shared repository management from
core-tutorial.txt to cvs-migration.txt, where it seems more appropriate,
and combined two sections to eliminate some redundancy.
I also revised the earlier sections of cvs-migration.txt, mainly trying
to make it more concise.
I've left the last section of cvs-migration.txt (on CVS annotate
alternatives) alone for now.

The example hook barfs on the initial import. Ideally it should
produce a diff from an empty tree, but for now let's stop at
squelching the bogus error message. Often an initial import
involves tons of badly formatted files from foreign SCM, so not

The latest update to avoid misspelled revs interfered when we
were not interested in parsing non flags or arguments not meant
for rev-list. This makes these two forms work again:
git whatchanged -- git-fetch-script
We could enable "!def" in the part this change touches to make
the above work without '--', but then it would cause misspelled
v2.6.14..v2.6.16 to be given to diff-tree and defeats the whole

The one thing I've considered doing (I really should) is to add a "stop
when you don't find the file" option to "git-rev-list". This patch does
some of the work towards that: it removes the "parent" thing when the
file disappears, so a "git annotate" could do do something like
git-rev-list --remove-empty --parents HEAD -- "$filename"
and it would get a good graph that stops when the filename disappears
(it's not perfect though: it won't remove all the unintersting commits).
It also simplifies the logic of finding tree differences a bit, at the
cost of making it a tad less efficient.
The old logic was two-phase: it would first simplify _only_ merges tree as
it traversed the tree, and then simplify the linear parts of the remainder
independently. That was pretty optimal from an efficiency standpoint
because it avoids doing any comparisons that we can see are unnecessary,
but it made it much harder to understand than it really needed to be.
The new logic is a lot more straightforward, and compares the trees as it
traverses the graph (ie everything is a single phase). That makes it much
easier to stop graph traversal at any point where a file disappears.
As an example, let's say that you have a git repository that has had a
file called "A" some time in the past. That file gets renamed to B, and
then gets renamed back again to A. The old "git-rev-list" would show two
commits: the commit that renames B to A (because it changes A) _and_ as
its parent the commit that renames A to B (because it changes A).
With the new --remove-empty flag, git-rev-list will show just the commit
that renames B to A as the "root" commit, and stop traversal there
(because that's what you want for "annotate" - you want to stop there, and
for every "root" commit you then separately see if it really is a new
file, or if the paths history disappeared because it was renamed from some
other file).
With this patch, you should be able to basically do a "poor mans 'git
annotate'" with a fairly simple loop:
push("HEAD", "$filename")
while (revision,filename = pop()) {
for each i in $(git-rev-list --parents --remove-empty $revision -- "$filename")
pseudo-parents($i) = git-rev-list parents for that line
if (pseudo-parents($i) is non-empty) {
show diff of $i against pseudo-parents
continue
}
/* See if the _real_ parents of $i had a rename */
parent($i) = real-parent($i)
if (find-rename in $parent($i)->$i)
push $parent($i), "old-name"
}
which should be doable in perl or something (doing stacks in shell is just
too painful to be worth it, so I'm not going to do this).
Anybody want to try?

This ports the "combined diff" to diff-files so that differences

Santi Bejar points out that a hunk that changes from all the
same common parents except one is uninteresting. The earlier
round marked changes from only one parent uninteresting, but
this also marks hunks that have the same change from all but one
parent uninteresting, which is a natural extension of the
original idea to Octopus merges.

A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is

- static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one)
++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one)
{
+ unsigned char sha1[20];
+ struct commit *cmit;
There are a few things to note about this feature:
- The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway
in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
merges.
- When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows
paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").
- As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
combined diff output.
- Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.
A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).
A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).
The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.
The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.
It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.
