2008-03-02diff: make sure work tree side is shown as 0{40} when differentJunio C Hamano
Ping Yin noticed that "git diff-index --raw" shows 0{40} when work tree has submodule difference, but "git diff --raw" didn't correctly do so. There was a mistake in the diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() that was meant to clean up the stat-only difference for running diff between the index and work tree and diff between the tree and the work tree, to cause it re-read from the submodule repository HEAD. When ce_stat_match() says work tree is different, we should always say 0{40} on the work tree side. This patch fixes the issue, and adds tests. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-03-02Clean up find_unique_abbrev() callersJunio C Hamano
Now find_unique_abbrev() never returns NULL, there is no need for callers to prepare for seeing NULL and fall back to giving the full 40-hexdigits. While we are at it, drop "..." in the "git reset" output that reports the location of the new HEAD, between the abbreviated commit object name and the one line commit summary. Because we are always showing the HEAD (which cannot be missing!), we never had a case where we show the full 40 hexdigits that is not followed by three dots, and these three dots were stealing 3 columns from the precious horizontal screen real estate out of 80 that can better be used for the one line commit summary.

2008-02-22Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.Jim Meyering
This change removes all obvious useless if-before-free tests. E.g., it replaces code like this: if (some_expression) free (some_expression); with the now-equivalent: free (some_expression); It is equivalent not just because POSIX has required free(NULL) to work for a long time, but simply because it has worked for so long that no reasonable porting target fails the test. Here's some evidence from nearly 1.5 years ago: http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-October/031544.html FYI, the change below was prepared by running the following: git ls-files -z | xargs -0 \ perl -0x3b -pi -e \ 's/\bif\s*\(\s*(\S+?)(?:\s*!=\s*NULL)?\s*\)\s+(free\s*\(\s*\1\s*\))/$2/s' Note however, that it doesn't handle brace-enclosed blocks like "if (x) { free (x); }". But that's ok, since there were none like that in git sources. Beware: if you do use the above snippet, note that it can produce syntactically invalid C code. That happens when the affected "if"-statement has a matching "else". E.g., it would transform this if (x) free (x); else foo (); into this: free (x); else foo (); There were none of those here, either. If you're interested in automating detection of the useless tests, you might like the useless-if-before-free script in gnulib: [it *does* detect brace-enclosed free statements, and has a --name=S option to make it detect free-like functions with different names] http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=build-aux/useless-if-before-free Addendum: Remove one more (in imap-send.c), spotted by Jean-Luc Herren <jlh@gmx.ch>.

2008-02-13diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectoryJunio C Hamano
This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start from a subdirectory: $ git diff --relative shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory, and without $prefix part. People who usually live in subdirectories may like it. There are a few things I should also mention about the change: - This works not just with diff but also works with the log family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected. In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say: $ git log --relative -p but it will show the log message even for commits that do not touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving pathspec yourself: $ git log --relative -p . This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory but show the changes with full context. I think it makes more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current subdirectory, which would break the symmetry. - Because this works also with the log family, you could format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your subdirectory, like so: $ cd gitk-git $ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will never become the default, with or without repository or user preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did so. - This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the combined use of the options, but probably I should. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-02-12Add "--dirstat" for some directory statisticsLinus Torvalds
This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated directory structure with semantic meaning. What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves. What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_ subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in themselves. So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should show up as under the more generic top-level directory. This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either something simple like commit 81772fe...

I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own. So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se, because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs, 7.6% of fuse etc. If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory. That cumulative output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to the root. For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes commit e231c2e...

The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be at 5% instead) NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed, not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count, but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories). Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me, but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc. But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out git log --dirstat and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/, gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4 which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general, the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and doing a git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1 on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

2008-02-06safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversionsSteffen Prohaska
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data. autocrlf=true will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by git. For text files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings such that we have only LF line endings in the repository. But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the conversion can corrupt data. If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right after committing you still have the original file in your work tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell git that this file is binary and git will handle the file appropriately. Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files converting CRLFs corrupts data. This patch adds a mechanism that can either warn the user about an irreversible conversion or can even refuse to convert. The mechanism is controlled by the variable core.safecrlf, with the following values: - false: disable safecrlf mechanism - warn: warn about irreversible conversions - true: refuse irreversible conversions The default is to warn. Users are only affected by this default if core.autocrlf is set. But the current default of git is to leave core.autocrlf unset, so users will not see warnings unless they deliberately chose to activate the autocrlf mechanism. The safecrlf mechanism's details depend on the git command. The general principles when safecrlf is active (not false) are: - we warn/error out if files in the work tree can modified in an irreversible way without giving the user a chance to backup the original file. - for read-only operations that do not modify files in the work tree we do not not print annoying warnings. There are exceptions. Even though... - "git add" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, the next checkout would, so the safety triggers; - "git apply" to update a text file with a patch does touch the files in the work tree, but the operation is about text files and CRLF conversion is about fixing the line ending inconsistencies, so the safety does not trigger; - "git diff" itself does not touch the files in the work tree, it is often run to inspect the changes you intend to next "git add". To catch potential problems early, safety triggers. The concept of a safety check was originally proposed in a similar way by Linus Torvalds. Thanks to Dimitry Potapov for insisting on getting the naked LF/autocrlf=true case right. Signed-off-by: Steffen Prohaska <prohaska@zib.de>
2008-01-21Avoid running lstat(2) on the same cache entry.Junio C Hamano
Aside from the lstat(2) done for work tree files, there are quite many lstat(2) calls in refname dwimming codepath. This patch is not about reducing them. * It adds a new ce_flag, CE_UPTODATE, that is meant to mark the cache entries that record a regular file blob that is up to date in the work tree. If somebody later walks the index and wants to see if the work tree has changes, they do not have to be checked with lstat(2) again. * fill_stat_cache_info() marks the cache entry it just added with CE_UPTODATE. This has the effect of marking the paths we write out of the index and lstat(2) immediately as "no need to lstat -- we know it is up-to-date", from quite a lot fo callers: - git-apply --index - git-update-index - git-checkout-index - git-add (uses add_file_to_index()) - git-commit (ditto) - git-mv (ditto) * refresh_cache_ent() also marks the cache entry that are clean with CE_UPTODATE. * write_index is changed not to write CE_UPTODATE out to the index file, because CE_UPTODATE is meant to be transient only in core. For the same reason, CE_UPDATE is not written to prevent an accident from happening. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color or rename detection. However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but _not_ the color.diff variable. We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where "basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).

2007-12-14Unify whitespace checkingWincent Colaiuta
This commit unifies three separate places where whitespace checking was performed: - the whitespace checking previously done in builtin-apply.c is extracted into a function in ws.c - the equivalent logic in "git diff" is removed - the emit_line_with_ws() function is also removed because that also rechecks the whitespace, and its functionality is rolled into ws.c The new function is called check_and_emit_line() and it does two things: checks a line for whitespace errors and optionally emits it. The checking is based on lines of content rather than patch lines (in other words, the caller must strip the leading "+" or "-"); this was suggested by Junio on the mailing list to allow for a future extension to "git show" to display whitespace errors in blobs. At the same time we teach it to report all classes of whitespace errors found for a given line rather than reporting only the first found error.

2007-12-12git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readableJunio C Hamano
The "-z" format is all about machine parsability, but showing renamed paths as "common/{a => b}/suffix" makes it impossible. The scripts would never have successfully parsed "--numstat -z -M" in the old format. This fixes the output format in a (hopefully minimally) backward incompatible way. * The output without -z is not changed. This has given a good way for humans to view added and deleted lines separately, and showing the path in combined, shorter way would preserve readability. * The output with -z is unchanged for paths that do not involve renames. Existing scripts that do not pass -M/-C are not affected at all. * The output with -z for a renamed path is shown in a format that can easily be distinguished from an unrenamed path. This is based on Jakub Narebski's patch. Bugs and documentation typos are mine. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-06Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace ruleJunio C Hamano
The `core.whitespace` configuration variable allows you to define what `diff` and `apply` should consider whitespace errors for all paths in the project (See gitlink:git-config[1]). This attribute gives you finer control per path. For example, if you have these in the .gitattributes: frotz whitespace nitfol -whitespace xyzzy whitespace=-trailing all types of whitespace problems known to git are noticed in path 'frotz' (i.e. diff shows them in diff.whitespace color, and apply warns about them), no whitespace problem is noticed in path 'nitfol', and the default types of whitespace problems except "trailing whitespace" are noticed for path 'xyzzy'. A project with mixed Python and C might want to have: *.c whitespace *.py whitespace=-indent-with-non-tab in its toplevel .gitattributes file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-06git config --get-colorboolJunio C Hamano
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from the configuration file. git config --get-colorbool color.diff inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise. If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this: git config --get-colorbool color.diff true When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or "true"), and "false" otherwise.

2007-11-03git-diff: complain about >=8 consecutive spaces in initial indentJunio C Hamano
This introduces a new whitespace error type, "indent-with-non-tab". The error is about starting a line with 8 or more SP, instead of indenting it with a HT. This is not enabled by default, as some projects employ an indenting policy to use only SPs and no HTs. The kernel folks and git contributors may want to enable this detection with: [core] whitespace = indent-with-non-tab Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-11-03War on whitespace: first, a bit of retreat.Junio C Hamano
This introduces core.whitespace configuration variable that lets you specify the definition of "whitespace error". Currently there are two kinds of whitespace errors defined: * trailing-space: trailing whitespaces at the end of the line. * space-before-tab: a SP appears immediately before HT in the indent part of the line. You can specify the desired types of errors to be detected by listing their names (unique abbreviations are accepted) separated by comma. By default, these two errors are always detected, as that is the traditional behaviour. You can disable detection of a particular type of error by prefixing a '-' in front of the name of the error, like this: [core] whitespace = -trailing-space This patch teaches the code to output colored diff with DIFF_WHITESPACE color to highlight the detected whitespace errors to honor the new configuration.
