This updates the user interface and generated diff data format.
* "diff --binary" is used to signal that we want an e-mailable
binary patch. It implies --full-index and -p.
* "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.

Somebody on the #git channel complained that the sha1_to_hex() thing uses
a static buffer which caused an error message to show the same hex output
twice instead of showing two different ones.
That's pretty easily rectified by making it uses a simple LRU of a few

The speed of the built-in diff generator is nice; but the function names
shown by `diff -p' are /really/ nice. And I hate having to choose. So,
we hack xdiff to find the function names and print them.
xdiff has grown a flag to say whether to dig up the function names. The
builtin_diff function passes this flag unconditionally. I suppose it
could parse GIT_DIFF_OPTS, but it doesn't at the moment. I've also
reintroduced the `function name' into the test suite, from which it was
removed in commit 3ce8f089.
The function names are parsed by a particularly stupid algorithm at the
moment: it just tries to find a line in the `old' file, from before the
start of the hunk, whose first character looks plausible. Still, it's
most definitely a start.

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
has gotten, along with the above kernel diff, which eye-balls correctly,
but shows the newline issue when you double-check it with "git-apply" ]

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

Note that I expected it to work without resetting the signal handler to

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 is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that
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).
For example,
$ git-rev-list HEAD |
git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR
shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

When rename/copy uses a file that was broken by diffcore-break
as the source, and the broken filepair gets merged back later,
the output was mislabeled as a rename. In this case, the source
file ends up staying in the output, so we should label it as a
copy instead.

Clearly even Junio felt git "rename" header lines should say "from/to"
instead of "old/new", since he wrote the documentation that way.
This way it also matches "copy".

This fixes two bugs.
- declaration of auto variable "cmp" was preceeded by a
statement, causing compilation error on real C compilers;
noticed and patch given by Yoichi Yuasa.
- the function's calling convention was overloading its size

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.

The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode
in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a
tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644
pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to
feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine,
which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch
fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that
uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a
similar way.
Without this patch, you will see "fatal error" from diff-tree
when you run git-deltafy-script on the core GIT repository
itself.

The way broken deletes and creates are shown in the -p
(diff-patch) output format has become consistent with how
rename/copy edits are shown. They will show "dissimilarity
index" value, immediately following the "deleted file mode" and
"new file mode" lines.

A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes
a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches
that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are
output before patches that match a later line, and patches that
do not match any glob pattern are output last.
A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like
this:

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.

When preparing data to feed the external diff, we should give
the mode we obtained from the caller, even when we are dealing
with a file with 0{40} SHA1 (i.e. the caller said "look at the
filesystem"), since the mode passed by the caller via
diff_addremove() or diff_change() is always trustworthy.
This is _not_ a bugfix --- the existing code stat() on the file
ifself and does the same computation on st.st_mode to compute
the mode the same way the caller did to give the original mode.
We cannot remove the stat() call from here, but the extra
computation to create the mode value is unnecessary.

This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.
When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.
Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

Earier version of diffcore-rename used to keep unmodified
filepair in its output so that the last stage of the processing
that tells renames from copies can make all of rename/copy to
copies. However this had a bad interaction with other diffcore
filters that wanted to run after diffcore-rename, in that such
unmodified filepair must be retained for proper distinction
between renames and copies to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by changing the way diffcore-rename
records the information needed to distinguish "all are copies"
case and "the last one is a rename" case.

With the introduction of type 'T' in the diff-raw output, and
the "apply-patch" program Linus has been quietly working on
without much advertisement, it started to make sense to emit
usable information in the "diff --git" patch output format as
well. Earlier built-in diff driver punted and did not say
anything about a symbolic link changing into a file or vice
versa, but this version represents it as a pair of deletion
and creation.
It also fixes a minor problem dealing with old archive created
with ancient git. The earlier code was reporting file mode
change between 100664 and 100644 (we shouldn't). The linux-2.6
git tree has a good example that exposes this problem. A good
test case is commit ce1dc02f76432a46db149241e015a4f782974623.
