2022-02-02diff-merges: avoid history simplifications when diffing mergesElijah Newren
Doing diffs for merges are special; they should typically avoid history simplification. For example, with git log --diff-merges=first-parent -- path the default history simplification would remove merge commits from consideration if the file "path" matched the second parent. That is counter to what the user wants when looking for first-parent diffs. Similar comments can be made for --diff-merges=separate (which diffs against both parents) and --diff-merges=remerge (which diffs against a remerge of the merge commit). However, history simplification still makes sense if not doing diffing merges, and it also makes sense for the combined and dense-combined forms of diffing merges (because both of those are defined to only show a diff when the merge result at the relevant paths differs from *both* parents). So, for separate, first-parent, and remerge styles of diff-merges, turn off history simplification. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-02-02show, log: provide a --remerge-diff capabilityElijah Newren
When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version, in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or, possibly, just to hide other random changes). This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object directory. There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal: * `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object directory can fill with many loose objects while running * the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to manage them. * important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other changes in the merge commit). * when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict and warning messages might start being included. We should instead make sure these remain dropped. Subsequent commits will address these issues. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-09-07diff-index: restore -c/--cc options handlingSergey Organov
This fixes 19b2517f (diff-merges: move specific diff-index "-m" handling to diff-index, 2021-05-21). That commit disabled handling of all diff for merges options in diff-index on an assumption that they are unused. However, it later appeared that -c and --cc, even though undocumented and not being covered by tests, happen to have had particular effect on diff-index output. Restore original -c/--cc options handling by diff-index. Signed-off-by: Sergey Organov <sorganov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2021-08-09Revert 'diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"'Jonathan Nieder
This reverts commit f5bfcc823ba242a46e20fb6f71c9fbf7ebb222fe, which made "git log -m" imply "--patch" by default. The logic was that "-m", which makes diff generation for merges perform a diff against each parent, has no use unless I am viewing the diff, so we could save the user some typing by turning on display of the resulting diff automatically. That wasn't expected to adversely affect scripts because scripts would either be using a command like "git diff-tree" that already emits diffs by default or would be combining -m with a diff generation option such as --name-status. By saving typing for interactive use without adversely affecting scripts in the wild, it would be a pure improvement. The problem is that although diff generation options are only relevant for the displayed diff, a script author can imagine them affecting path limiting. For example, I might run git log -w --format=%H -- README hoping to list commits that edited README, excluding whitespace-only changes. In fact, a whitespace-only change is not TREESAME so the use of -w here has no effect (since we don't apply these diff generation flags to the diff_options struct rev_info::pruning used for this purpose), but the documentation suggests that it should work Suppose you specified foo as the <paths>. We shall call commits that modify foo !TREESAME, and the rest TREESAME. (In a diff filtered for foo, they look different and equal, respectively.) and a script author who has not tested whitespace-only changes wouldn't notice. Similarly, a script author could include git log -m --first-parent --format=%H -- README to filter the first-parent history for commits that modified README. The -m is a no-op but it reflects the script author's intent. For example, until 1e20a407fe2 (stash list: stop passing "-m" to "git log", 2021-05-21), "git stash list" did this. As a result, we can't safely change "-m" to imply "-p" without fear of breaking such scripts. Restore the previous behavior. Noticed because Rust's src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py made use of this same construct: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/87513. That script has been updated to omit the unnecessary "-m" option, but we can expect other scripts in the wild to have similar expectations.

2021-05-21diff-merges: let "-m" imply "-p"Sergey Organov
Fix long standing inconsistency between -c/--cc that do imply -p on one side, and -m that did not imply -p on the other side. Change corresponding test accordingly, as "log -m" output should now match one from "log -m -p", rather than from just "log". Change documentation accordingly. NOTES: After this patch git log -m produces diffs without need to provide -p as well, that improves both consistency and usability. It gets even more useful if one sets "log.diffMerges" configuration variable to "first-parent" to force -m produce usual diff with respect to first parent only. This patch, however, does not change behavior when specific diff format is explicitly provided on the command-line, so that commands like git log -m --raw git log -m --stat are not affected, nor does it change commands where specific diff format is active by default, such as: git diff-tree -m It's also worth to be noticed that exact historical semantics of -m is still provided by --diff-merges=separate.

2021-05-21diff-merges: rename "combined_imply_patch" to "merges_imply_patch"Sergey Organov
This is refactoring change in preparation for the next commit that will let -m imply -p. The old name doesn't match the intention to let not only -c/-cc imply -p, but also -m, that is not a "combined" format, so we rename the flag accordingly.

2021-05-21diff-merges: move specific diff-index "-m" handling to diff-indexSergey Organov
Move specific handling of "-m" for diff-index to diff-index.c, so diff-merges is left to handle only diff for merges options. Being a better design by itself, this is especially essential in preparation for letting -m imply -p, as "diff-index -m" obviously should not imply -p, as it's entirely unrelated. To handle this, in addition to moving specific diff-index "-m" code out of diff-merges, we introduce new diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing() and call it before generic options processing in cmd_diff_index(). This new diff_merges_suppress_options_parsing() could then be reused and called before invocations of setup_revisions() for other commands that don't need --diff-merges options, but that's outside of the scope of these patch series.

New log.diffMerges configuration variable sets the format that --diff-merges=on will be using. The default is "separate". t4013: add the following tests for log.diffMerges config: * Test that wrong values are denied. * Test that the value of log.diffMerges properly affects both --diff-merges=on and -m. t9902: fix completion tests for log.d* to match log.diffMerges.

2021-04-17diff-merges: introduce --diff-merges=onSergey Organov
Introduce the notion of default diff format for merges, and the option "on" to select it. The default format is "separate" and can't yet be changed, so effectively "on" is just a synonym for "separate" for now. Add corresponding test to t4013. This is in preparation for introducing log.diffMerges configuration option that will let --diff-merges=on to be configured to any supported format.

2020-12-21diff-merges: add old mnemonic counterparts to --diff-mergesSergey Organov
This adds --diff-merges={m|c|cc} values that match mnemonics of old options, for those who are used to them. Note that, say, --diff-meres=cc behaves differently than --cc, as the latter implies -p and therefore enables diffs for all the commits, while the former enables output of diffs for merge commits only.

2020-12-21diff-merges: let new options enable diff without -pSergey Organov
New options don't have any visible effect unless -p is either given or implied, as unlike -c/-cc we don't imply -p with --diff-merges. To fix this, this patch adds new functionality by letting new options enable output of diffs for merge commits only. Add 'merges_need_diff' field and set it whenever diff output for merges is enabled by any of the new options. Extend diff output logic accordingly, to output diffs for merges when 'merges_need_diff' is set even when no -p has been provided.

2020-12-21diff-merges: do not imply -p for new optionsSergey Organov
Add 'combined_imply_patch' field and set it only for old --cc/-c options, then imply -p if this flag is set instead of implying -p whenever 'combined_merge' flag is set. We don't want new --diff-merge options to imply -p, to make it possible to enable output of diffs for merges independently from non-merge commits. At the same time we want to preserve behavior of old --c/-c/-m options and their interactions with --first-parent, to stay backward-compatible. This patch is first step in this direction: it separates old "--cc/-c imply -p" logic from the rest of the options.

2020-12-21diff-merges: make -m/-c/--cc explicitly mutually exclusiveSergey Organov

2020-12-21diff-merges: split 'ignore_merges' fieldSergey Organov
'ignore_merges' was 3-way field that served two distinct purposes that we now assign to 2 new independent flags: 'separate_merges', and 'explicit_diff_merges'. 'separate_merges' tells that we need to output diff format containing separate diff for every parent (as opposed to 'combine_merges'). 'explicit_diff_merges' tells that at least one of diff-merges options has been explicitly specified on the command line, so no defaults should apply.

2020-12-21diff-merges: fix -m to properly override -c/--ccSergey Organov

2020-12-21diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handlingSergey Organov
Do not set revs->diff when we encounter an option that needs it, as it'd be impossible to undo later. Besides, some other options than what we handle here set this flag as well, and we'd interfere with them trying to clear this flag later. Rather set revs->diff, if finally needed, in diff_merges_setup_revs(). As an additional bonus, this also makes our code shorter.
