Make it a clear two-phase thing: first a read-only parse of
the patch itself (which is independent of any current index
information), and then the second phase actually uses the patch.
The second phase might not be a real apply, it could be just a
diffstat, for example. Which is trivial to do once the patch is
parsed.
This is the remainder of testcase fix by Mark Allen to make them

where some sed does not know what to do with '\|', and also
"cmp - file" to compare standard input with a file, which his
cmp does not support.

The interim single-liner '?' fix resulted delete entries that
should not have emitted coming out in the output as an
unintended side effect; I caught this with the "rename" test in
the test suite. This patch instead fixes the code that assigns
the status code to each filepair.
I verified this does not break the testcase in udev.git tree Kay
Sievers gave us, by running git-diff-tree on that tree which
showed 21 file to symlink changes.

The earlier test was relying on the fact that dotfiles do not
appear in the output to prepare expected test results, which
inevitably got broken when we started handling dotfiles. Change
the test to be honest about what "--other" file it creates.

This also drops the common ".git" part from the end of the repo
name, and if a non-default head reference is given, makes a nicer
commit message about it.
This adds a "-t" flag to tell the raw diff output to include the tree
objects in the output when doing a recursive diff.
Since that's how the non-recursive output already handles trees and the
flag thus doesn't make sense without "-r", I made "-t" imply "-r".

The second round similarity estimator simply used the size of

We still refuse to add ".", ".." and ".git".
In theory, you could track another git-repository by allowing ".git",
but the potential for confusion is just too high.
We need to quote backslash and backtick too.
And inform the user about our progress, since converting a
big archive can take time. Doing the full mutt history took
just under eight minutes.
This should also mean that the conversion is now completely
defined by the CVS tree, and that two people doing a cvs2git
conversion on the same base will always get the same results
regardless of when or in what timezone they do it.
This escapes '$' characters in <<-handling, and gives preference to
the new branch when cvsps incorrectly reports a commit as originating
on an old branch.
.. and tell 'co' to shut up about the rcs noise.
This still leaves some branch issues up in the air: it looks like
cvsps has some questionable originating branch information, but I
don't know whether that's a cvsps bug or an actual bug in the
syslinux archive I'm using to test.
I'll let David Mansfield answer my questions about CVS. I'm a
total idiot when it comes to branches under CVS ("I'm pure!").
Earlier implementation had a major screw-up in the memory
management area. Rename/copy logic sometimes borrowed a pointer
to a structure without any provision for downstream to determine
which pointer is shared and which is not. This resulted in the
later clean-up code to sometimes double free such structure,
resulting in a segfault. This made -M and -C useless.
Another problem the earlier implementation had was that it
reordered the patches, and forced the logic to differentiate
renames and copies to depend on that particular order. This
problem was fixed by teaching rename/copy detection logic not to
do any reordering, and rename-copy differentiator not to depend
on the order of the patches. The diffs will leave rename/copy
detector in the same destination path order as the patch that
was fed into it. Some test vectors have been reordered to
accommodate this change.
It also adds a sanity check logic to the human-readable diff-raw
output to detect paths with embedded TAB and LF characters,
which cannot be expressed with that format. This idea came up
during a discussion with Chris Wedgwood.

It's very hacky, and it needs lots of work, but it seems to have converted
Peter's "syslinux" archive successfully. Whether the end result is correct
or not is to be seen.
Tons of work still to do: do name conversion properly, and do tags etc.
And testing. Lots of testing.
There's some duplication of filenames when doing filename operations
(creates, deletes, renames and copies), and this makes us verify that
the pathnames match when they should.
Also prevent 'sort' from sorting on the sha1 which was screwing the
history listing.

For later stages to reorder patches, pruning logic and rename detection
logic should not decide which delete to discard (because another entry

.. and print out the information. This sets up all the pathname
information, and whether it's a new file, deleted file, rename,
copy or whatever.
It's slowly getting to the point where it all comes together,
and we can actually apply all the information that we've gathered.
In particular, give line numbers when detecting corrupt patches.
This makes the tool a lot more friendly (indeed, much more so
than regular "patch", I think).
Thomas Glanzmann noticed that diff-tree -z HEAD piped to
diff-helper -z did not work. Since diff-helper -z expects NUL
terminated lines, we should generate such.
The output side of the diff-helper should always be using '\n'
termination; earlier it used the same line_termination used for
the input side, which was a mistake.

The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good
enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list
about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with
it. This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making
things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch
reordering.
(1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename
and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible
to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder
patches. This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the
very end of the processing.
(2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the
"no-change" entries indiscriminatingly. This was done due
to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the
diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which
resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never
being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver"). My
special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this.
When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be
able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_
necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch
adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it.
(3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too
specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of
the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_
indeed about rename/copy. This patch discards xfrm_msg
field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason,
and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and
rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy
logic. One thing to note is that the information in a
single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish
renames from copies, and it is deliberately so. This is to
allow patches to be reordered in later stages.
(4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format
output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries
appear on the output.

This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.
That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.
NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.
Thomas Glanzmann points out that it doesn't work well with different
clients accessing the repository over NFS - they have different views
on what the "device" for the filesystem is.
Of course, other filesystems may not even have stable inode numbers.
But we don't care. At least for now.
