2012-07-18diff: correctly disable external_diff with --no-ext-diffJunio C Hamano
Upon seeing a type-change filepair, "diff --no-ext-diff" does not show the usual "deletion followed by addition" split patch and does not run the external diff driver either. This is because the logic to disable external diff was placed at a wrong level in the callchain. run_diff_cmd() decides to show the split patch only when external diff driver is not configured or specified via GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment, but this is done before checking if --no-ext-diff was given. To make things worse, run_diff_cmd() checks --no-ext-diff and disables the output for such a filepair completely, as the callchain below it (e.g. builtin_diff) does not want to handle typechange filepairs.

2012-07-13Merge branch 'jc/refactor-diff-stdin'Junio C Hamano
Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code, even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual diff operation. * jc/refactor-diff-stdin: diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard input diff-index.c: unify handling of command line paths diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs

Only "diff --no-index -" does. Bolting the logic into the low-level function diff_populate_filespec() was a layering violation from day one.

Also make sure "-" from the command line stays a special token "read from the standard input", even if we later decide to sanitize the result from prefix_filename() function in a few obvious ways, e.g. removing unnecessary "./" prefix, duplicated slashes "//" in the middle, etc. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2012-04-30diff --stat: use less columns for change countsZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames and the graph. The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for "Bin XXX -> YYY bytes". If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files, change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then "Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +- part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files. This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change. Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output. This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added to check the graph alignment when a binary file change and text file change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

2012-03-23teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty contentJeff King
Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of removed and added files with similar or identical content. It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename detection when there is not enough content to produce good results. However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore). This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are interested in using empty files as rename sources and destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for rename sources and destinations. One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file in many directories). A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename" gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with the simple thing.

2012-03-14diff: tweak a _copy_ of diff_options with word-diffThomas Rast
When using word diff, the code sets the word_regex from various defaults if it was not set already. The problem is that it does this on the original diff_options, which will also be used in subsequent diffs. This means that when the word_regex is not given on the command line, only the first diff for which a setting for word_regex (either from attributes or diff.wordRegex) ever takes effect. This value then propagates to the rest of the diff runs and in particular prevents further attribute lookups. Fix the problem of changing diff state once and for all, by working with a _copy_ of the diff_options.

2012-03-01diff -p: squelch "diff --git" header for stat-dirty pathsJunio C Hamano
The plumbing "diff" commands look at the working tree files without refreshing the index themselves for performance reasons (the calling script is expected to do that upfront just once, before calling one or more of them). In the early days of git, they showed the "diff --git" header before they actually ask the xdiff machinery to produce patches, and ended up showing only these headers if the real contents are the same and the difference they noticed was only because the stat info cached in the index did not match that of the working tree. It was too late for the implementation to take the header that it already emitted back. But 3e97c7c (No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes, 2009-11-19) introduced necessary logic to keep the meta-information headers in a strbuf and delay their output until the xdiff machinery noticed actual changes. This was primarily in order to generate patches that ignore whitespaces. When operating under "-w" mode, we wouldn't know if the header is needed until we actually look at the resulting patch, so it was a sensible thing to do, but we did not realize that the same reasoning applies to stat-dirty paths. Later, 296c6bb (diff: fix "git show -C -C" output when renaming a binary file, 2010-05-26) generalized this machinery and added must_show_header toggle. This is turned on when the header must be shown even when there is no patch to be produced, e.g. only the mode was changed, or the path was renamed, without changing the contents. However, when it did so, it still kept the special case for the "-w" mode, which meant that the plumbing would keep showing these phantom changes. This corrects this historical inconsistency by allowing the plumbing to omit paths that are only stat-dirty from its output in the same way as it handles whitespace only changes under "-w" option. The change in the behaviour can be seen in the updated test. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-03-01diff --stat: add config option to limit graph widthZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Config option diff.statGraphWidth=<width> is equivalent to --stat-graph-width=<width>, except that the config option is ignored by format-patch. For the graph-width limiting to be usable, it should happen 'automatically' once configured, hence the config option. Nevertheless, graph width limiting only makes sense when used on a wide terminal, so it should not influence the output of format-patch, which adheres to the 80-column standard.

2012-03-01diff --stat: enable limiting of the graph partZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
A new option --stat-graph-width=<width> can be used to limit the width of the graph part even is more space is available. Up to <width> columns will be used for the graph. If commits changing a lot of lines are displayed in a wide terminal window (200 or more columns), and the +- graph uses the full width, the output can be hard to comfortably scan with a horizontal movement of human eyes. Messages wrapped to about 80 columns would be interspersed with very long +- lines. It makes sense to limit the width of the graph part to a fixed value (e.g. 70 columns), even if more columns are available.

2012-03-01diff --stat: use a maximum of 5/8 for the filename partZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
The way that available columns are divided between the filename part and the graph part is modified to use as many columns as necessary for the filenames and the rest for the graph. If there isn't enough columns to print both the filename and the graph, at least 5/8 of available space is devoted to filenames. On a standard 80 column terminal, or if not connected to a terminal and using the default of 80 columns, this gives the same partition as before. The effect of this change is visible in the patch to the test vector in t4052; with a small change with long filename, it stops truncating the name part too short, and also allocates a bit more columns to the graph for larger changes.

2012-03-01diff --stat: use the full terminal widthZbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek
Default to the real terminal width for diff --stat output, instead of the hard-coded 80 columns. Some projects (especially in Java), have long filename paths, with nested directories or long individual filenames. When files are renamed, the filename part in stat output can be almost useless. If the middle part between { and } is long (because the file was moved to a completely different directory), then most of the path would be truncated. It makes sense to detect and use the full terminal width and display full filenames if possible. The are commands like diff, show, and log, which can adapt the output to the terminal width. There are also commands like format-patch, whose output should be independent of the terminal width. Since it is safer to use the 80-column default, the real terminal width is only used if requested by the calling code by setting diffopts.stat_width=-1. Normally this value is 0, and can be set by the user only to a non-negative value, so -1 is safe to use internally. This patch only changes the diff builtin to use the full terminal width.

When commit 3ed74e6 (diff --stat: ensure at least one '-' for deletions, and one '+' for additions, 2006-09-28) improved the output for files with tiny modifications, we accidentally broke the logic to ensure that two equal sized changes are shown with the bars of the same length, even when rounding errors exist. Compute the length of the graph bars, using the same "non-zero changes is shown with at least one column" scaling logic, but by scaling the sum of additions and deletions to come up with the total length of the bar (this ensures that two equal sized changes result in bars of the same length), and then scaling the smaller of the additions or deletions. The other side is computed as the difference between the two. This makes the apportioning between additions and deletions less accurate due to rounding errors, but it is much less noticeable than two files with the same amount of change showing bars of different length.

2012-02-07drop odd return value semantics from userdiff_configJeff King
When the userdiff_config function was introduced in be58e70 (diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code, 2008-10-05), it used a return value convention unlike any other config callback. Like other callbacks, it used "-1" to signal error. But it returned "1" to indicate that it found something, and "0" otherwise; other callbacks simply returned "0" to indicate that no error occurred. This distinction was necessary at the time, because the userdiff namespace overlapped slightly with the color configuration namespace. So "diff.color.foo" could mean "the 'foo' slot of diff coloring" or "the 'foo' component of the "color" userdiff driver". Because the color-parsing code would die on an unknown color slot, we needed the userdiff code to indicate that it had matched the variable, letting us bypass the color-parsing code entirely. Later, in 8b8e862 (ignore unknown color configuration, 2009-12-12), the color-parsing code learned to silently ignore unknown slots. This means we no longer need to protect userdiff-matched variables from reaching the color-parsing code. We can therefore change the userdiff_config calling convention to a more normal one. This drops some code from each caller, which is nice. But more importantly, it reduces the cognitive load for readers who may wonder why userdiff_config is unlike every other config callback. There's no need to add a new test confirming that this works; t4020 already contains a test that sets diff.color.external.

A proper fix would defer such markers until the end of the hunk. However, word-diff is inherently whitespace-ignoring, so as a cheap fix simply ignore the marker (and hide it from the output). We use a prefix match for '\ ' to parallel the logic in apply.c:parse_fragment().

2011-10-10diff: add option to show whole functions as contextRené Scharfe
Add the option -W/--function-context to git diff. It is similar to the same option of git grep and expands the context of change hunks so that the whole surrounding function is shown. This "natural" context can allow changes to be understood better. Note: GNU patch doesn't like diffs generated with the new option; it seems to expect context lines to be the same before and after changes. git apply doesn't complain. This implementation has the same shortcoming as the one in grep, namely that there is no way to explicitly find the end of a function. That means that a few lines of extra context are shown, right up to the next recognized function begins. It's already useful in its current form, though. The function get_func_line() in xdiff/xemit.c is extended to work forward as well as backward to find post-context as well as pre-context. It returns the position of the first found matching line. The func_line parameter is made optional, as we don't need it for -W. The enhanced function is then used in xdl_emit_diff() to extend the context as needed. If the added context overlaps with the next change, it is merged into the current hunk. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Make --stat/--numstat codepath to honor the context length the same way as the textual patch codepath does to avoid this problem. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
