The final output from diff used to compare pathnames between
preimage and postimage to tell if the filepair is a rename/copy.
By explicitly marking the filepair created by diffcore_rename(),
the output routine, resolve_rename_copy(), does not have to do
so anymore. This helps feeding a filepair that has different
pathnames in one and two elements to the diff machinery (most
notably, comparing two blobs).

The Porcelainish has become so much usable as the UI that there
is not much reason people should be using the core programs by
hand anymore. At this point we are better off making the
behaviour of the core programs predictable by keeping them
unaffected by the configuration variables. Otherwise they will
become very hard to use as reliable building blocks.
For example, "git-commit -a" internally uses git-diff-files to
figure out the set of paths that need to be updated in the
index, and we should never allow diff.renames that happens to be
in the configuration to interfere (or slow down the process).
The UI level configuration such as showing renamed diff and
coloring are still honored by the Porcelainish ("git log" family
and "git diff"), but not by the core anymore.

etc, but less so).
- allow people to have a different color for the "file headers"
(DIFF_METAINFO) and for the "fragment header" (DIFF_FRAGINFO). Also,
make a difference between "normal color" and "reset colors"
- default to red/green for old/new lines. That's the norm, I'd think.
- instead of that eye-popping (and eye-ball-with-a-fondue-fork-popping)

When we cut off the front of a filename to make it fit on the line, we add
a "..." in front. However, the way the "git diff" code was written, we
will never reset the prefix back to the empty string, so every single
filename afterwards will have the "..." prefix, whether appropriate or
not.
You can see this with "git diff v2.6.16.." on the current kernel tree,
since there are filenames with long names that changed there:
[ snip snip ]
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 229
.../firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c | 3
.../firmware_sample_firmware_class.c | 1
...Documentation/fujitsu/frv/kernel-ABI.txt | 192
...Documentation/hwmon/w83627hf | 4
[ snip snip ]
notice how the two Documentation/firmware** filenames caused the "..." to
be added, but then the later filenames don't want it, and it also screws
up the alignment of the line numbering afterwards.
Trivially fixed by moving the declaration (and initial setting) of the
"prefix" variable into the for-loop where it is used.

* "apply --allow-binary-replacement" acquired a short synonym
"apply --binary".
* After the "GIT binary patch\n" header line there is a token
to record which binary patch mechanism was used, so that we
can extend it later. Currently there are two mechanisms
defined: "literal" and "delta". The former records the
deflated postimage and the latter records the deflated delta
from the preimage to postimage.
For purely implementation convenience, I added the deflated
length after these "literal/delta" tokens (otherwise the
decoding side needs to guess and reallocate the buffer while
inflating). Improvement patches are very welcomed.

This adds "binary patch" to the diff output and teaches apply
what to do with them.
On the diff generation side, traditionally, we said "Binary
files differ\n" without giving anything other than the preimage
and postimage object name on the index line. This was good
enough for applying a patch generated from your own repository
(very useful while rebasing), because the postimage would be
available in such a case. However, this was not useful when the
recipient of such a patch via e-mail were to apply it, even if
the preimage was available.
This patch allows the diff to generate "binary" patch when
operating under --full-index option. The binary patch follows
the usual extended git diff headers, and looks like this:
"GIT binary patch\n"
<length byte><data>"\n"
...
"\n"
Each line is prefixed with a "length-byte", whose value is upper
or lowercase alphabet that encodes number of bytes that the data
on the line decodes to (1..52 -- 'A' means 1, 'B' means 2, ...,
'Z' means 26, 'a' means 27, ...). <data> is 1 or more groups of
5-byte sequence, each of which encodes up to 4 bytes in base85
encoding. Because 52 / 4 * 5 = 65 and we have the length byte,
an output line is capped to 66 characters. The payload is the
same diff-delta as we use in the packfiles.
On the consumption side, git-apply now can decode and apply the
binary patch when --allow-binary-replacement is given, the diff
was generated with --full-index, and the receiving repository
has the preimage blob, which is the same condition as it always
required when accepting an "Binary files differ\n" patch.

The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names

reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was
removed in commit 3ce8f089.

This uses a simplified libxdiff setup to generate unified diffs _without_
doing fork/execve of GNU "diff".
This has several huge advantages, for example:
Before:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m24.818s
user 0m13.332s
sys 0m8.664s
After:
[torvalds@g5 linux]$ time git diff v2.6.16.. > /dev/null
real 0m4.563s
user 0m2.944s
sys 0m1.580s
and the fact that this should be a lot more portable (ie we can ignore all
the issues with doing fork/execve under Windows).
Perhaps even more importantly, this allows us to do diffs without actually
ever writing out the git file contents to a temporary file (and without
any of the shell quoting issues on filenames etc etc).
NOTE! THIS PATCH DOES NOT DO THAT OPTIMIZATION YET! I was lazy, and the
current "diff-core" code actually will always write the temp-files,
because it used to be something that you simply had to do. So this current
one actually writes a temp-file like before, and then reads it into memory
again just to do the diff. Stupid.
But if this basic infrastructure is accepted, we can start switching over
diff-core to not write temp-files, which should speed things up even
further, especially when doing big tree-to-tree diffs.
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I should also point out a few
downsides:
- the libxdiff algorithm is different, and I bet GNU diff has gotten a
lot more testing. And the thing is, generating a diff is not an exact
science - you can get two different diffs (and you will), and they can
both be perfectly valid. So it's not possible to "validate" the
libxdiff output by just comparing it against GNU diff.
- GNU diff does some nice eye-candy, like trying to figure out what the
last function was, and adding that information to the "@@ .." line.
libxdiff doesn't do that.
- The libxdiff thing has some known deficiencies. In particular, it gets
the "\No newline at end of file" case wrong. So this is currently for
the experimental branch only. I hope Davide will help fix it.
That said, I think the huge performance advantage, and the fact that it
integrates better is definitely worth it. But it should go into a
development branch at least due to the missing newline issue.
Technical note: this is based on libxdiff-0.17, but I did some surgery to
get rid of the extraneous fat - stuff that git doesn't need, and seriously
cutting down on mmfile_t, which had much more capabilities than the diff
algorithm either needed or used. In this version, "mmfile_t" is just a
trivial <pointer,length> tuple.
That said, I tried to keep the differences to simple removals, so that you
can do a diff between this and the libxdiff origin, and you'll basically
see just things getting deleted. Even the mmfile_t simplifications are
left in a state where the diffs should be readable.
Apologies to Davide, whom I'd love to get feedback on this all from (I
wrote my own "fill_mmfile()" for the new simpler mmfile_t format: the old
complex format had a helper function for that, but I did my surgery with
the goal in mind that eventually we _should_ just do
mmfile_t mf;
buf = read_sha1_file(sha1, type, &size);
mf->ptr = buf;
mf->size = size;
.. use "mf" directly ..
which was really a nightmare with the old "helpful" mmfile_t, and really
is that easy with the new cut-down interfaces).
[ Btw, as any hawk-eye can see from the diff, this was actually generated
with itself, so it is "self-hosting". That's about all the testing it

Instead of depending of fork() and execve() and doing things in between
the two, make the git diff functions do everything up front, and then do
a single "spawn_prog()" invocation to run the actual external diff

Earlier it did not grok the 0{40} SHA1 very well, but what it
needed to do was to find the shortest 0{N} that is not used as a

This adds "assume unchanged" logic, started by this message in the list
discussion recently:
<Pine.LNX.4.64.0601311807470.7301@g5.osdl.org>
This is a workaround for filesystems that do not have lstat()
that is quick enough for the index mechanism to take advantage
of. On the paths marked as "assumed to be unchanged", the user
needs to explicitly use update-index to register the object name
to be in the next commit.
You can use two new options to update-index to set and reset the
CE_VALID bit:
git-update-index --assume-unchanged path...
git-update-index --no-assume-unchanged path...
These forms manipulate only the CE_VALID bit; it does not change
the object name recorded in the index file. Nor they add a new
entry to the index.
When the configuration variable "core.ignorestat = true" is set,
the index entries are marked with CE_VALID bit automatically
after:
- update-index to explicitly register the current object name to the
index file.
- when update-index --refresh finds the path to be up-to-date.
- when tools like read-tree -u and apply --index update the working
tree file and register the current object name to the index file.
The flag is dropped upon read-tree that does not check out the index
entry. This happens regardless of the core.ignorestat settings.
Index entries marked with CE_VALID bit are assumed to be
unchanged most of the time. However, there are cases that
CE_VALID bit is ignored for the sake of safety and usability:
- while "git-read-tree -m" or git-apply need to make sure
that the paths involved in the merge do not have local
modifications. This sacrifices performance for safety.
- when git-checkout-index -f -q -u -a tries to see if it needs
to checkout the paths. Otherwise you can never check
anything out ;-).
- when git-update-index --really-refresh (a new flag) tries to
see if the index entry is up to date. You can start with
everything marked as CE_VALID and run this once to drop
CE_VALID bit for paths that are modified.
Most notably, "update-index --refresh" honours CE_VALID and does
not actively stat, so after you modified a file in the working
tree, update-index --refresh would not notice until you tell the
index about it with "git-update-index path" or "git-update-index
--no-assume-unchanged path".
This version is not expected to be perfect. I think diff
between index and/or tree and working files may need some
adjustment, and there probably needs other cases we should
automatically unmark paths that are marked to be CE_VALID.
But the basics seem to work, and ready to be tested by people
who asked for this feature.

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 -

A while ago, a rename-detection limit logic was implemented as a
response to this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112413080630175
where gitweb was found to be using a lot of time and memory to
detect renames on huge commits. git-diff family takes -l<num>
flag, and if the number of paths that are rename destination
candidates (i.e. new paths with -M, or modified paths with -C)
are larger than that number, skips rename/copy detection even
when -M or -C is specified on the command line.
This commit makes the rename detection limit easier to use. You
can have:
[diff]
renamelimit = 30
in your .git/config file to specify the default rename detection
limit. You can override this from the command line; giving 0
means 'unlimited':
git diff -M -l0
We might want to change the default behaviour, when you do not
have the configuration, to limit it to say 20 paths or so. This
would also help the diffstat generation after a big 'git pull'.

This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree"
program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file.
This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a
specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history.
Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves
some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables
from diff-tree.c into the options structure.
The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the
diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something
else than just show the diff on stdout.

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an

consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:
- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
(deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them.
- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).

As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.
