910650d2f8 Rename sha1_array to oid_array
Since this structure handles an array of object IDs, rename it to struct
oid_array.  Also rename the accessor functions and the initialization
constant.

650360210a Merge branch 'nd/ita-empty-commit'
When new paths were added by "git add -N" to the index, it was
enough to circumvent the check by "git commit" to refrain from
making an empty commit without "--allow-empty".  The same logic
prevented "git status" to show such a path as "new file" in the
"Changes not staged for commit" section.

d5e3b01e5b diff_unique_abbrev: rename to diff_aligned_abbrev
The word "align" describes how the function actually differs
from find_unique_abbrev, and will make it less confusing
when we add more diff-specific abbrevation functions that do
not do this alignment.

Since this is a globally available function, let's also move
its descriptive comment to the header file, where we
typically document function interfaces.

018ec3c820 commit: fix empty commit creation when there's no changes but ita entries
If i-t-a entries are present and there is no change between the index
and HEAD i-t-a entries, index_differs_from() still returns "dirty, new
entries" (aka, the resulting commit is not empty), but cache-tree will
skip i-t-a entries and produce the exact same tree of current
commit.

index_differs_from() is supposed to catch this so we can abort
git-commit (unless --no-empty is specified). Update it to optionally
ignore i-t-a entries when doing a diff between the index and HEAD so
that it would return "no change" in this case and abort commit.

425a28e0a4 diff-lib: allow ita entries treated as "not yet exist in index"
When comparing the index and the working tree to show which paths are
new, and comparing the tree recorded in the HEAD and the index to see if
committing the contents recorded in the index would result in an empty
commit, we would want the former comparison to say "these are new paths"
and the latter to say "there is no change" for paths that are marked as
intent-to-add.

We made a similar attempt at d95d728a ("diff-lib.c: adjust position of
i-t-a entries in diff", 2015-03-16), which redefined the semantics of
these two comparison modes globally, which was a disaster and had to be
reverted at 78cc1a54 ("Revert "diff-lib.c: adjust position of i-t-a
entries in diff"", 2015-06-23).

To make sure we do not repeat the same mistake, introduce a new internal
diffopt option so that this different semantics can be asked for only by
callers that ask it, while making sure other unaudited callers will get
the same comparison result.

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.

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.

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.

a64e6a44c6 diff: clarify textconv interface
The memory allocation scheme for the textconv interface is a
bit tricky, and not well documented. It was originally
designed as an internal part of diff.c (matching

Refactoring it is difficult, but we can at least improve the
situation by documenting the intended flow and enforcing it
with an in-code assertion.

5b442c4f27 tree-diff: catch integer overflow in combine_diff_path allocation
A combine_diff_path struct has two "flex" members allocated
alongside the struct: a string to hold the pathname, and an
array of parent pointers. We use an "int" to compute this,
meaning we may easily overflow it if the pathname is
extremely long.

We can fix this by using size_t, and checking for overflow
with the st_add helper.

9a93c6686f avoid shifting signed integers 31 bits
We sometimes use 32-bit unsigned integers as bit-fields.
It's fine to access the MSB, because it's unsigned. However,
doing so as "1 << 31" is wrong, because the constant "1" is
a signed int, and we shift into the sign bit, causing
undefined behavior.

We can fix this by using "1U" as the constant.

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.

Currently the --no-index option is parsed in diff_no_index().  Move the
detection if a no-index diff should be executed to builtin/diff.c, where
we can use it for executing diff_no_index() conditionally.  This will
also allow us to execute other operations conditionally, which will be
done in the next patch.

There are no functional changes.

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.
