d709f1fb9d diff_unique_abbrev(): document its assumption and limitation
This function is used to add "..." to displayed object names in
"diff --raw --abbrev[=<n>]" output.  It bases its behaviour on an
untold assumption that the abbreviation length requested by the
caller is "reasonble", i.e. most of the objects will abbreviate
within the requested length and the resulting length would never
exceed it by more than a few hexdigits (otherwise the resulting
columns would not align).  Explain that in a comment.

300e95f7df Merge branch 'js/regexec-buf' into maint
Some codepaths in "git diff" used regexec(3) on a buffer that was
mmap(2)ed, which may not have a terminating NUL, leading to a read
beyond the end of the mapped region.  This was fixed by introducing
a regexec_buf() helper that takes a <ptr,len> pair with REG_STARTEND
extension.

Apply the semantic patch contrib/coccinelle/qsort.cocci to the code
base, replacing calls of qsort(3) with QSORT.  The resulting code is
shorter and supports empty arrays with NULL pointers.

f937d78553 use strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() for adding short hashes, part 2
Call strbuf_add_unique_abbrev() to add abbreviated hashes to strbufs
instead of taking detours through find_unique_abbrev() and its static
buffer.  This is shorter and a bit more efficient.

1eb47f167d already converted six cases,
this patch covers three more.

A semantic patch for Coccinelle is included for easier checking for
new cases that might be introduced in the future.

b7d36ffca0 regex: use regexec_buf()
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.

We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec(3) may have been mmap(2)ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which allocated to construct NUL-terminated strings,
or worse, modified buffers to temporarily insert NULs while calling
regexec(3).  By converting them to use regexec_buf(), the code has
become much cleaner.

5b162879e9 blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config
Teach "git blame" and "git annotate" the --compaction-heuristic and
--indent-heuristic options that are now supported by "git diff".

Also teach them to honor the `diff.compactionHeuristic` and
`diff.indentHeuristic` configuration options.

It would be conceivable to introduce separate configuration options for
"blame" and "annotate"; for example `blame.compactionHeuristic` and
`blame.indentHeuristic`. But it would be confusing to users if blame
output is inconsistent with diff output, so it makes more sense for them
to respect the same configuration.

433860f3d0 diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs
Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down,
because lines at the edges of the group are not unique. Picking good
shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has
a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two
diffs. The first is what standard Git emits:

    --- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl
    +++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl

This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders"
using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the
indentation of nearby lines into account.

The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down
in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be
aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case
Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one
add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often
yields ugly diffs.

Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to
position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when
that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it
can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2)
always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be
better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as
the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs.

This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking
optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe
that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two
splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first
added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line
and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the
positioning that creates the least bad splits.

Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby
blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it
prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that
are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation.
In more detail:

1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting
   position in a `struct split_measurement`:

   * the number of blank lines above the proposed split
   * whether the line directly after the split is blank
   * the number of blank lines following that line
   * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split
   * the indentation of the line directly below the split
   * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line

2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of
   empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct
   split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at
   that position.

3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the
   slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position
   that has the best `split_score`.

I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus
of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various
programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and
determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I
used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to
about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights
against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter
space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values.
Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The
results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`:

In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated
sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*. The columns are

* "repository" - the name of the repository used. I used the diffs
  between successive non-merge commits on the HEAD branch of the
  corresponding repository.

* "count" - the number of sliders that were human-rated. I chose most,
  but not all, sliders to rate from those among which the various
  algorithms gave different answers.

* "Git 2.9.0" - the default algorithm used by `git diff` in Git 2.9.0.

* "compaction" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic`
  in Git 2.9.0.

* "compaction-fixed" - the heuristic used by `git diff
  --compaction-heuristic` after the fixes from earlier in this patch
  series. Note that the results are not dramatically different than
  those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as
  often as the default `git diff`.

* "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first
  set of weighting factors, determined as described above.

* "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final
  set of weighting factors, determined as described below.

* `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine
  the first set of weighting factors.

The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as
on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the
heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of
optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting
set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the
weights included in this patch.

The final result gives consistently and significantly better results
across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff
--compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the
former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction
of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted
code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.)

The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along
with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project
[1].

This patch adds a new command-line option `--indent-heuristic`, and a
new configuration setting `diff.indentHeuristic`, that activate this
heuristic. This interface is only meant for testing purposes, and should
be finalized before including this change in any release.

ca9b37e5a8 diff: remove dead code
When `len < 1`, len has to be 0 or negative, emit_line will then remove the
first character and by then `len` would be negative. As this doesn't
happen, it is safe to assume it is dead code.

This continues to simplify the code, which was started in b8d9c1a66b
(2009-09-03,  diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file
comparison).

660e113ce1 graph: add support for --line-prefix on all graph-aware output
Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware
displayable output) such that "--line-prefix=<string>" will print the
additional line-prefix on every line of output.

To make this work, we have to fix a few bugs in the graph API that force
graph_show_commit_msg to be used only when you have a valid graph.
Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work
even when no graph is enabled.

This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.

This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which
displays the submodule diff as the actual diff between the pre and post
commit in the submodule project.

Add some tests for both git-log and git-diff to ensure that the prefix
is honored correctly.

cd48dadb8d diff.c: remove output_prefix_length field
"diff/log --stat" has a logic that determines the display columns
available for the diffstat part of the output and apportions it for
pathnames and diffstat graph automatically.

5e71a84a (Add output_prefix_length to diff_options, 2012-04-16)
added the output_prefix_length field to diff_options structure to
allow this logic to subtract the display columns used for the
history graph part from the total "terminal width"; this matters
when the "git log --graph -p" option is in use.

The field must be set to the number of display columns needed to
show the output from the output_prefix() callback, which is error
prone.  As there is only one user of the field, and the user has the
actual value of the prefix string, let's get rid of the field and
have the user count the display width itself.

06dec439a3 diff: do not reuse worktree files that need "clean" conversion
When accessing a blob for a diff, we may try to reuse file
contents in the working tree, under the theory that it is
faster to mmap those file contents than it would be to
extract the content from the object database.

When we have to filter those contents, though, that
assumption does not hold. Even for our internal conversions
like CRLF, we have to allocate and fill a new buffer anyway.
But much worse, for external clean filters we have to exec
an arbitrary script, and we have no idea how expensive it
may be to run.

So let's skip this optimization when conversion into git's
"clean" form is required. This applies whenever the
"want_file" flag is false. When it's true, the caller
actually wants the smudged worktree contents, which the
reused file by definition already has (in fact, this is a
key optimization going the other direction, since reusing
the worktree file there lets us skip smudge filters).

afc676f2c9 diff: do not color output when --color=auto and --output=<file> is given
"git diff --output=<file> --color=auto" used to show the ANSI color
sequence in the resulting file when the standard output is connected
to a terminal, because --color=auto check always checks the standard
output, not the actual file that receives the output.

We could correct this by using freopen(3) to redirect the standard
output to the specified file, which is in like with how format-patch
used to match the world order, but following the same reasoning as
the earlier "format-patch: explicitly switch off color when writing
to files", let's be more strict by bypassing the "auto" check when
the --output=<file> option is in use.

Strictly speaking, this is a backwards-incompatible change, but
it is highly unlikely that any user would want to see ANSI color
sequences in a file.

The reason this was not caught earlier is most likely that either
--output=<file> is not used, or only when stdout is redirected
anyway.

Users can still give --color=always if they want a colored diff in
the resulting file.

d634d61ed6 xdiff: implement empty line chunk heuristic
In order to produce the smallest possible diff and combine several diff
hunks together, we implement a heuristic from GNU Diff which moves diff
hunks forward as far as possible when we find common context above and
below a diff hunk. This sometimes produces less readable diffs when
writing C, Shell, or other programming languages, ie:

...
 /*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
+/*
...

instead of the more readable equivalent of

...
+/*
+ *
+ *
+ */
+
 /*
...

Implement the following heuristic to (optionally) produce the desired
output.

  If there are diff chunks which can be shifted around, shift each hunk
  such that the last common empty line is below the chunk with the rest
  of the context above.

This heuristic appears to resolve the above example and several other
common issues without producing significantly weird results. However, as
with any heuristic it is not really known whether this will always be
more optimal. Thus, it can be disabled via diff.compactionHeuristic.

5404c116aa diff: activate diff.renames by default
Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.

Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".

This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

We could get away with xstrfmt here, but we want to know the

here, we can clean up the logic around size_only. It
currently sets and clears the "data" field pointlessly, and

d59f765ac9 use sha1_to_hex_r() instead of strcpy
Before sha1_to_hex_r() existed, a simple way to get hex
sha1 into a buffer was with:

  strcpy(buf, sha1_to_hex(sha1));

This isn't wrong (assuming the buf is 41 characters), but it
makes auditing the code base for bad strcpy() calls harder,
as these become false positives.

Let's convert them to sha1_to_hex_r(), and likewise for
some calls to find_unique_abbrev(). While we're here, we'll
double-check that all of the buffers are correctly sized,
and use the more obvious GIT_SHA1_HEXSZ constant.

3efb988098 react to errors in xdi_diff
When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later.  This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).

In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper).  But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.

Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.

We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).

There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

5096d4909f convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintf
We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.

However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

old line and want to say "Ah, those breakages are there but they
were inherited from the original, so let's not touch them for now."

Introduce `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>` option, that lets them pass

what lines to highlight whitespace errors on.

to find and paint whitespace breakages on the given line, because we

simpler emit_line_0() that paints the entire line in plain or old
colors.

Identify callers of emit_line_0() that show deleted lines and

When --shortstat is used in conjunction with --dirstat=changes, git diff will
output the dirstat information twice: first as calculated by the 'lines'

The same duplication happens for --shortstat together with --dirstat=files, but
not for --shortstat together with --dirstat=lines.

Limit output to only include one dirstat part, calculated as specified
by the --dirstat parameter. Also, add test for this.

f6c5a2968c color_parse: do not mention variable name in error message
Originally the color-parsing function was used only for
config variables. It made sense to pass the variable name so
that the die() message could be something like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'color.branch.plain'

These days we call it in other contexts, and the resulting
error messages are a little confusing:

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable '--pretty format'

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus
  fatal: bad color value 'bogus' for variable 'command line'

This patch teaches color_parse to complain only about the
value, and then return an error code. Config callers can
then propagate that up to the config parser, which mentions
the variable name. Other callers can provide a custom
message. After this patch these three cases now look like:

  $ git -c color.branch.plain=bogus branch
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse 'color.branch.plain' from command-line config

  $ git log --pretty='%C(bogus)'
  error: invalid color value: bogus
  fatal: unable to parse --pretty format

  $ git config --get-color foo.bar bogus

As in earlier commits, the diff option parser uses
starts_with to find that an argument starts with "--stat-",
and then adds strlen("stat-") to find the rest of the
option.

However, in this case the starts_with and the strlen are
separated across functions, making it easy to call the
latter without the former. Let's use skip_prefix instead of
raw pointer arithmetic to catch such a case.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))

This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the

typo in one of the strings).

ae021d8791 use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += 3;

This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes.  We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.

Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:

  if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
	  bar = arg + 6;
	  continue;
  }

could become:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
	  continue;

However, I have left it as:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = v;
	  continue;
  }

to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = atoi(v);
	  continue;
  }

N+1 trees in parallel.  These set of paths can then be turned into
N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename
detections and such.  And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual
2-way diff-tree, which is very nice.

dd63f169d9 move "--follow needs one pathspec" rule to diff_setup_done
Because of the way "--follow" is implemented, we must have
exactly one pathspec. "git log" enforces this restriction,
but other users of the revision traversal code do not. For
example, "git format-patch --follow" will segfault during
try_to_follow_renames, as we have no pathspecs at all.

We can push this check down into diff_setup_done, which is
probably a better place anyway. It is the diff code that
introduces this restriction, so other parts of the code
should not need to care themselves.

89294d143d run_external_diff: clean up error handling
When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:

  1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
     about to exit.  Nor do we need to clean up our
     tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
     us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.

  3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
     does technically change our exit code, but the exit
     code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
     probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
     "completed successfully, but there were differences".

And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

7195fbfaf5 combine-diff: speed it up, by using multiparent diff tree-walker directly
As was recently shown in "combine-diff: optimize
combine_diff_path sets intersection", combine-diff runs very slowly. In
that commit we optimized paths sets intersection, but that accounted
only for ~ 25% of the slowness, and as my tracing showed, for linux.git
v3.10..v3.11, for merges a lot of time is spent computing
diff(commit,commit^2) just to only then intersect that huge diff to
almost small set of files from diff(commit,commit^1).

In previous commit, we described the problem in more details, and
reworked the diff tree-walker to be general one - i.e. to work in
multiple parent case too. Now is the time to take advantage of it for
finding paths for combine diff.

The implementation is straightforward - if we know, we can get generated
diff paths directly, and at present that means no diff filtering or
rename/copy detection was requested(*), we can call multiparent tree-walker
directly and get ready paths.

(*) because e.g. at present, all diffcore transformations work on
    diff_filepair queues, but in the future, that limitation can be
    lifted, if filters would operate directly on combine_diff_paths.

Timings for `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` without `-c` ("git log")
and with `-c` ("git log -c") and with `-c --merges` ("git log -c --merges")
before and after the patch are as follows:

                linux.git v3.10..v3.11

            log     log -c     log -c --merges

    before  1.9s    16.4s      15.2s
    after   1.9s     2.4s       1.1s

The result stayed the same.

72441af7c4 tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well
Previously diff_tree(), which is now named ll_diff_tree_sha1(), was
generating diff_filepair(s) for two trees t1 and t2, and that was
usually used for a commit as t1=HEAD~, and t2=HEAD - i.e. to see changes
a commit introduces.

In Git, however, we have fundamentally built flexibility in that a
commit can have many parents - 1 for a plain commit, 2 for a simple merge,
but also more than 2 for merging several heads at once.

For merges there is a so called combine-diff, which shows diff, a merge
introduces by itself, omitting changes done by any parent. That works
through first finding paths, that are different to all parents, and then
showing generalized diff, with separate columns for +/- for each parent.
The code lives in combine-diff.c .

There is an impedance mismatch, however, in that a commit could
generally have any number of parents, and that while diffing trees, we
divide cases for 2-tree diffs and more-than-2-tree diffs. I mean there
is no special casing for multiple parents commits in e.g.
revision-walker .

That impedance mismatch *hurts* *performance* *badly* for generating
combined diffs - in "combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path
sets intersection" I've already removed some slowness from it, but from
the timings provided there, it could be seen, that combined diffs still
cost more than an order of magnitude more cpu time, compared to diff for
usual commits, and that would only be an optimistic estimate, if we take
into account that for e.g. linux.git there is only one merge for several
dozens of plain commits.

That slowness comes from the fact that currently, while generating
combined diff, a lot of time is spent computing diff(commit,commit^2)
just to only then intersect that huge diff to almost small set of files
from diff(commit,commit^1).

That's because at present, to compute combine-diff, for first finding
paths, that "every parent touches", we use the following combine-diff
property/definition:

D(A,P1...Pn) = D(A,P1) ^ ... ^ D(A,Pn)      (w.r.t. paths)

where

D(A,P1...Pn) is combined diff between commit A, and parents Pi

and

D(A,Pi) is usual two-tree diff Pi..A

So if any of that D(A,Pi) is huge, tracting 1 n-parent combine-diff as n
1-parent diffs and intersecting results will be slow.

And usually, for linux.git and other topic-based workflows, that
D(A,P2) is huge, because, if merge-base of A and P2, is several dozens
of merges (from A, via first parent) below, that D(A,P2) will be diffing
sum of merges from several subsystems to 1 subsystem.

The solution is to avoid computing n 1-parent diffs, and to find
changed-to-all-parents paths via scanning A's and all Pi's trees
simultaneously, at each step comparing their entries, and based on that
comparison, populate paths result, and deduce we could *skip*
*recursing* into subdirectories, if at least for 1 parent, sha1 of that
dir tree is the same as in A. That would save us from doing significant
amount of needless work.

Such approach is very similar to what diff_tree() does, only there we
deal with scanning only 2 trees simultaneously, and for n+1 tree, the
logic is a bit more complex:

D(T,P1...Pn) calculation scheme
-------------------------------

D(T,P1...Pn) = D(T,P1) ^ ... ^ D(T,Pn)	(regarding resulting paths set)

    D(T,Pj)		- diff between T..Pj
    D(T,P1...Pn)	- combined diff from T to parents P1,...,Pn

We start from all trees, which are sorted, and compare their entries in
lock-step:

     T     P1       Pn
     -     -        -
    |t|   |p1|     |pn|
    |-|   |--| ... |--|      imin = argmin(p1...pn)
    | |   |  |     |  |
    |-|   |--|     |--|
    |.|   |. |     |. |
     .     .        .
     .     .        .

at any time there could be 3 cases:

    1)  t < p[imin];
    2)  t > p[imin];
    3)  t = p[imin].

Schematic deduction of what every case means, and what to do, follows:

1)  t < p[imin]  ->  ∀j t ∉ Pj  ->  "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj)  ->  D += "+t";  t↓

2)  t > p[imin]

    2.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin]  ->  "-p[imin]" ∉ D(T,Pj)  ->  D += ø;  ∀ pi=p[imin]  pi↓
    2.2) ∀i  pi = p[imin]  ->  pi ∉ T  ->  "-pi" ∈ D(T,Pi)  ->  D += "-p[imin]";  ∀i pi↓

3)  t = p[imin]

    3.1) ∃j: pj > p[imin]  ->  "+t" ∈ D(T,Pj)  ->  only pi=p[imin] remains to investigate
    3.2) pi = p[imin]  ->  investigate δ(t,pi)
     |
     |
     v

    3.1+3.2) looking at δ(t,pi) ∀i: pi=p[imin] - if all != ø  ->

                      ⎧δ(t,pi)  - if pi=p[imin]
             ->  D += ⎨
                      ⎩"+t"     - if pi>p[imin]

    in any case t↓  ∀ pi=p[imin]  pi↓

~

For comparison, here is how diff_tree() works:

D(A,B) calculation scheme
-------------------------

    A     B
    -     -
   |a|   |b|    a < b   ->  a ∉ B   ->   D(A,B) +=  +a    a↓
   |-|   |-|    a > b   ->  b ∉ A   ->   D(A,B) +=  -b    b↓
   | |   | |    a = b   ->  investigate δ(a,b)            a↓ b↓
   |-|   |-|
   |.|   |.|
    .     .
    .     .

~~~~~~~~

This patch generalizes diff tree-walker to work with arbitrary number of
parents as described above - i.e. now there is a resulting tree t, and
some parents trees tp[i] i=[0..nparent). The generalization builds on
the fact that usual diff

D(A,B)

is by definition the same as combined diff

D(A,[B]),

so if we could rework the code for common case and make it be not slower
for nparent=1 case, usual diff(t1,t2) generation will not be slower, and
multiparent diff tree-walker would greatly benefit generating
combine-diff.

What we do is as follows:

1) diff tree-walker ll_diff_tree_sha1() is internally reworked to be
   a paths generator (new name diff_tree_paths()), with each generated path
   being `struct combine_diff_path` with info for path, new sha1,mode and for
   every parent which sha1,mode it was in it.

2) From that info, we can still generate usual diff queue with
   struct diff_filepairs, via "exporting" generated
   combine_diff_path, if we know we run for nparent=1 case.
   (see emit_diff() which is now named emit_diff_first_parent_only())

3) In order for diff_can_quit_early(), which checks

       DIFF_OPT_TST(opt, HAS_CHANGES))

   to work, that exporting have to be happening not in bulk, but
   incrementally, one diff path at a time.

   For such consumers, there is a new callback in diff_options
   introduced:

       ->pathchange(opt, struct combine_diff_path *)

   which, if set to !NULL, is called for every generated path.

   (see new compat ll_diff_tree_sha1() wrapper around new paths
    generator for setup)

4) The paths generation itself, is reworked from previous
   ll_diff_tree_sha1() code according to "D(A,P1...Pn) calculation
   scheme" provided above:

   On the start we allocate [nparent] arrays in place what was
   earlier just for one parent tree.

   then we just generalize loops, and comparison according to the
   algorithm.

Some notes(*):

1) alloca(), for small arrays, is used for "runs not slower for
   nparent=1 case than before" goal - if we change it to xmalloc()/free()
   the timings get ~1% worse. For alloca() we use just-introduced
   xalloca/xalloca_free compatibility wrappers, so it should not be a
   portability problem.

2) For every parent tree, we need to keep a tag, whether entry from that
   parent equals to entry from minimal parent. For performance reasons I'm
   keeping that tag in entry's mode field in unused bit - see S_IFXMIN_NEQ.
   Not doing so, we'd need to alloca another [nparent] array, which hurts
   performance.

3) For emitted paths, memory could be reused, if we know the path was
   processed via callback and will not be needed later. We use efficient
   hand-made realloc-style path_appendnew(), that saves us from ~1-1.5%
   of potential additional slowdown.

4) goto(s) are used in several places, as the code executes a little bit
   faster with lowered register pressure.

Also

- we should now check for FIND_COPIES_HARDER not only when two entries
  names are the same, and their hashes are equal, but also for a case,
  when a path was removed from some of all parents having it.

  The reason is, if we don't, that path won't be emitted at all (see
  "a > xi" case), and we'll just skip it, and FIND_COPIES_HARDER wants
  all paths - with diff or without - to be emitted, to be later analyzed
  for being copies sources.

  The new check is only necessary for nparent >1, as for nparent=1 case
  xmin_eqtotal always =1 =nparent, and a path is always added to diff as
  removal.

~~~~~~~~

Timings for

    # without -c, i.e. testing only nparent=1 case
    `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames`

before and after the patch are as follows:

                navy.git        linux.git v3.10..v3.11

    before      0.611s          1.889s
    after       0.619s          1.907s
    slowdown    1.3%            0.9%

This timings show we did no harm to usual diff(tree1,tree2) generation.
From the table we can see that we actually did ~1% slowdown, but I think
I've "earned" that 1% in the previous patch ("tree-diff: reuse base
str(buf) memory on sub-tree recursion", HEAD~~) so for nparent=1 case,
net timings stays approximately the same.

The output also stayed the same.

(*) If we revert 1)-4) to more usual techniques, for nparent=1 case,
    we'll get ~2-2.5% of additional slowdown, which I've tried to avoid, as
   "do no harm for nparent=1 case" rule.

For linux.git, combined diff will run an order of magnitude faster and
appropriate timings will be provided in the next commit, as we'll be
taking advantage of the new diff tree-walker for combined-diff
generation there.

P.S. and combined diff is not some exotic/for-play-only stuff - for
example for a program I write to represent Git archives as readonly
filesystem, there is initial scan with

    `git log --reverse --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames -c`

to extract log of what was created/changed when, as a result building a
map

    {}  sha1    ->  in which commit (and date) a content was added

that `-c` means also show combined diff for merges, and without them, if
a merge is non-trivial (merges changes from two parents with both having
separate changes to a file), or an evil one, the map will not be full,
i.e. some valid sha1 would be absent from it.

That case was my initial motivation for combined diffs speedup.

f34b205f6c diff: do not quit early on stat-dirty files
When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.

Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.

This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().

This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

aba4727281 diff: do not reuse_worktree_file for submodules
The GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF calling code attempts to reuse existing worktree
files for the worktree side of diffs, for performance reasons.
However, that code also tries to do the same with submodules.  This
results in calls to $GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF where the old-file is a file of
the form "Submodule commit $sha1", but the new-file is a directory in
the worktree.

Fix it by never reusing a worktree "file" in the submodule case.

ee7fb0b1d4 difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program.  At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.

Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:

    Viewing: 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

Consider the modified prompt:

    Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter.  To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:

 - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;

 - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
   show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
   current value of the counter (from diff_options); and

 - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

c189c4f2c4 diff: remove ternary operator evaluating always to true
The line being changed is deep inside the function builtin_diff.
The variable name_b, which is used to evaluate the ternary expression
must evaluate to true at that position, hence the replacement with
just name_b.

The name_b variable only occurs a few times in that lengthy function:
As a parameter to the function itself:
	static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a,
				 const char *name_b,
				...
The next occurrences are at:
	/* Never use a non-valid filename anywhere if at all possible */
	name_a = DIFF_FILE_VALID(one) ? name_a : name_b;
	name_b = DIFF_FILE_VALID(two) ? name_b : name_a;

	a_one = quote_two(a_prefix, name_a + (*name_a == '/'));
	b_two = quote_two(b_prefix, name_b + (*name_b == '/'));

In the last line of this block 'name_b' is dereferenced and compared
to '/'. This would crash if name_b was NULL. Hence in the following code
we can assume name_b being non-null.

The next occurrence is just as a function argument, which doesn't change
the memory, which name_b points to, so the assumption name_b being not
null still holds:
	emit_rewrite_diff(name_a, name_b, one, two,
				textconv_one, textconv_two, o);

The next occurrence would be the line of this patch. As name_b still must
be not null, we can remove the ternary operator.

Inside the emit_rewrite_diff function there is a also a line
	ecbdata.ws_rule = whitespace_rule(name_b ? name_b : name_a);
which was also simplified as there is also a dereference before the
ternary operator.

The case of --binary deserves extra attention: the name may suggest that
it turns a normal patch into a binary patch, but it actually already
enables patch output when normally disabled (e.g. "git log --binary"

In order to express "we do not care about deletions", we had to say
"--diff-filter=ACMRTXUB", giving all the possible change class

This is cumbersome.  As all the change classes are in uppercase,
allow their lowercase counterpart to selectively exclude the class
from the output.  When such a negated change class is in the input,
start the filter option with the full bits set.

This would allow us to express the old "show-diff -q" with

9c5e6c802c Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is

 - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE

 - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED

 - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
   builtin/update-index: obvious

 - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
   fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
   *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
   builtin/checkout.c

 - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
   CE_UPDATE

Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.

So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.

The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

    diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h
    index 430d021..1692891 100644

36617af7ed diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option
The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".

When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.

There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):

    $ seq 5 >file1
    $ cat <<EOF >file2
    change
    1
    2

    3
    4
    5
    change
    EOF
    $ diff -u -B file1 file2

    @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@
     3
     4

    +change

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.

The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single
pass.

6c374008b1 diff_opt: track whether flags have been set explicitly
The diff_opt infrastructure sets flags based on defaults and command
line options.  It is impossible to tell whether a flag has been set
as a default or on explicit request.  Update the structure so that
this detection is possible:

 * Add an extra "opt->touched_flags" that keeps track of all the
   fields that have been touched by DIFF_OPT_SET and DIFF_OPT_CLR.

 * You may continue setting the default values to the flags, like
   commands in the "log" family do in cmd_log_init_defaults(), but
   after you finished setting the defaults, you clear the
   touched_flags field;

 * And then you let the usual callchain call diff_opt_parse(),
   allowing the opt->flags be set or unset, while keeping track of
   which bits the user touched;

 * There is an optional callback "opt->set_default" that is called

Note that this does not change the handling of diff-algorithm in

The logic described in d020e27 (diff: Fix rename pretty-print when

comment is valid only if both strings are the same length.  *One* of
old/new can reach a-1 (b-1, resp.) if 'a' is a suffix of 'b' (or vice
versa).

Since the intent was to let the loop run down to the '/' at the end of
the common prefix, fix it by making that distinction explicit: if
there is no prefix, allow no underrun.

d020e27fda diff: Fix rename pretty-print when suffix and prefix overlap
When considering a rename for two files that have a suffix and a prefix
that can overlap, a confusing line is shown. As an example, renaming
"a/b/b/c" to "a/b/c" shows "a/b/{ => }/b/c".

Currently, what we do is calculate the common prefix ("a/b/"), and the
common suffix ("/b/c"), but the same "/b/" is actually counted both in
prefix and suffix. Then when calculating the size of the non-common part,
we end-up with a negative value which is reset to 0, thus the "{ => }".

Do not allow the common suffix to overlap the common prefix and stop
when reaching a "/" that would be in both.

patience over myers or similar. However, specifying appropriate
argument every time diff is to be used is impractical. Moreover,
creating an alias doesn't play nicely with other tools based on diff
(git-show for instance). Hence, a configuration variable which is able
to set specific algorithm is needed. For now, these four values are
accepted: 'myers' (which has the same effect as not setting the config
variable at all), 'minimal', 'patience' and 'histogram'.

Even though we show a separate *UNMERGED* entry in the patch and
diffstat output (or in the --raw format, for that matter) in
addition to and separately from the diff against the specified stage
(defaulting to #2) for unmerged paths, they should not be counted in
the total number of files affected---that would lead to counting the
same path twice.

The separation done by the previous step makes this fix simple and
straightforward.  Among the filepairs in diff_queue, paths that
weren't modified, and the extra "unmerged" entries do not count as
total number of files.

a20d3c0de1 diff --stat: move the "total count" logic to the last loop
The diffstat generation logic, with --stat-count limit, is
implemented as three loops.

 - The first counts the width necessary to show stats up to
   specified number of entries, and notes up to how many entries in
   the data we need to iterate to show the graph;

 - The second iterates that many times to draw the graph, adjusts
   the number of "total modified files", and counts the total
   added/deleted lines for the part that was shown in the graph;

 - The third iterates over the remainder and only does the part to
   count "total added/deleted lines" and to adjust "total modified
   files" without drawing anything.

Move the logic to count added/deleted lines and modified files from
the second loop to the third loop.

This incidentally fixes a bug.  The third loop was not filtering
binary changes (counted in bytes) from the total added/deleted as it
should.  The second loop implemented this correctly, so if a binary
change appeared earlier than the --stat-count cutoff, the code
counted number of added/deleted lines correctly, but if it appeared
beyond the cutoff, the number of lines would have mixed with the
byte count in the buggy third loop.

Use string_list_split_in_place() to split the comma-separated
parameters string.  This simplifies the code and also fixes a bug: the
old code made calls like

    memcmp(p, "lines", p_len)

which needn't work if p_len is different than the length of the
constant string (and could illegally access memory if p_len is larger
than the length of the constant string).

When p_len was less than the length of the constant string, the old
code would have allowed some abbreviations to be accepted (e.g., "cha"
for "changes") but this seems to have been a bug rather than a
feature, because (1) it is not documented; (2) no attempt was made to
handle ambiguous abbreviations, like "c" for "changes" vs
"cumulative".

Linus Torvalds
74faaa16f0 Fix "git diff --stat" for interesting - but empty - file changes
The behavior of "git diff --stat" is rather odd for files that have
zero lines of changes: it will discount them entirely unless they were
renames.

Which means that the stat output will simply not show files that only
had "other" changes: they were created or deleted, or their mode was
changed.

Now, those changes do show up in the summary, but so do renames, so
the diffstat logic is inconsistent. Why does it show renames with zero
lines changed, but not mode changes or added files with zero lines
changed?

So change the logic to not check for "is_renamed", but for
"is_interesting" instead, where "interesting" is judged to be any
action but a pure data change (because a pure data change with zero
data changed really isn't worth showing, if we ever get one in our
diffpairs).

So if you did

   chmod +x Makefile
   git diff --stat

before, it would show empty (" 0 files changed"), with this it shows

 Makefile | 0
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

which I think is a more correct diffstat (and then with "--summary" it
shows *what* the metadata change to Makefile was - this is completely
consistent with our handling of renamed files).

Side note: the old behavior was *really* odd. With no changes at all,
"git diff --stat" output was empty. With just a chmod, it said "0
files changed". No way is our legacy behavior sane.
