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.

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.

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.

POSIX doth sayeth:
"In the regular expression processing described in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001,
the <newline> is regarded as an ordinary character and both a period and
a non-matching list can match one. ... Those utilities (like grep) that
do not allow <newline>s to match are responsible for eliminating any
<newline> from strings before matching against the RE."
Thus far git has not been removing the trailing newline from strings matched
against regular expression patterns. This has the effect that (quoting
Jonathan del Strother) "... a line containing just 'FUNCNAME' (terminated by
a newline) will be matched by the pattern '^(FUNCNAME.$)' but not
'^(FUNCNAME$)'", and more simply not '^FUNCNAME$'.

Since the newline is not removed from lines before pattern matching, a
pattern cannot match to the end of the line using the '$' operator without
using an additional operator which will indirectly match the '\n' character.

This test used the non-zero exit status of 'git diff' to indicate that a
negated funcname pattern, when placed last, was correctly rejected.
The problem with this is that 'git diff' always returns non-zero if it
finds differences in the files it is comparing, and the files must
contain differences in order to trigger the funcname pattern codepath.
Instead of checking for non-zero exit status, make sure the expected
error message is printed.

According to the message of commit 0fe7c1de16,
"git diff" with three or more trees expects the merged tree first followed by
the parents, in order. However, this command reversed the order of its
arguments, resulting in confusing diffs. A comment /* Again, the revs are all
reverse */ suggested there was a reason for this, but I can't figure out the
reason, so I removed the reversal of the arguments. Test case included.

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.

If verification of path failed, it is always better to print an
error message saying this than relying on the caller function to
print a meaningful error message (especially when the callee already
prints error message for another situation).
Because the callers of add_index_entry_with_check() did not print
any error message, it resulted that the user would not notice the
problem when checkout of an invalid path failed.

We carefully verify that the input to git-apply is sane,
including cross-checking that the filenames we see in "+++"
headers match what was provided on the command line of "diff
--git". When --directory is used, however, we ended up
comparing the unadorned name to one with the prepended root,
causing us to complain about a mismatch.
We simply need to prepend the root directory, if any, when

In case there is no commit to apply (for example because you rebase to

Since v1.6.0.2~13^2~ the completion of a thin pack uses sha1write() for
its ability to compute a SHA1 on the written data. This also provides
data buffering which, along with commit 92392b4a45, will confuse pread()
whenever an appended object is 1) freed due to memory pressure because
of the depth-first delta processing, and 2) needed again because it has
many delta children, and 3) its data is still buffered by sha1write().
Let's fix the issue by simply forcing cached data out when such an
object is written so it can be pread()'d at leisure.

The referenced commit tried to fix a flaw in stash's handling of a user
supplied invalid ref. i.e. 'git stash apply fake_ref@{0}' should fail
instead of applying stash@{0}. But, it did so in a naive way by avoiding the
use of the --default option of rev-parse, and instead manually supplied the
default revision if the user supplied an empty command line. This prevented
a common usage scenario of supplying flags on the stash command line (i.e.
non-empty command line) which would be parsed by lower level git commands,
without supplying a specific revision. This should fall back to the default
revision, but now it causes an error. e.g. 'git stash show -p'
The correct fix is to use the --verify option of rev-parse, which fails
properly if an invalid ref is supplied, and still allows falling back to a
default ref when one is not supplied.
Convert stash-drop to use --verify while we're at it, since specifying
multiple revisions for any of these commands is also an error and --verify
makes it so.
