2006-05-21fmt-patch: Support --attachJohannes Schindelin
This patch touches a couple of files, because it adds options to print a custom text just after the subject of a commit, and just after the diffstat. [jc: made "many dashes" used as the boundary leader into a single variable, to reduce the possibility of later tweaks to miscount the number of dashes to break it.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-05-21diff family: add --check optionJohannes Schindelin
Actually, it is a diff option now, so you can say git diff --check to ask if what you are about to commit is a good patch. [jc: this also would work for fmt-patch, but the point is that the check is done before making a commit. format-patch is run from an already created commit, and that is too late to catch whitespace damaged change.] Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <Johannes.Schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-05-14git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properlyLinus Torvalds
We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u"). This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric argument. So now you can just say git diff --unified=5 to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do something silly like GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u (that silly format does continue to still work, of course).

2006-05-05binary diff: further updates.Junio C Hamano
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. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-04-29built-in diff: assorted updates.Junio C Hamano
"git diff(n)" without --base, --ours, etc. defaults to --cc, which usually is the same as -p unless you are in the middle of a conflicted merge, just like the shell script version. "git diff(n) blobA blobB path" complains and dies. "git diff(n) tree0 tree1 tree2...treeN" does combined diff that shows a merge of tree1..treeN to result in tree0. Giving "-c" option to any command that defaults to "--cc" turns off dense-combined flag. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-04-22Libify diff-files.Junio C Hamano
This is the first installment to libify diff brothers. The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions() infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before. The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher way. As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply stupid, so I am renaming it back. The new diff-lib.c is to contain pieces extracted from diff brothers.

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's a patch that does exactly that. The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do something like if (rev->logopt) show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n"); but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it alone. That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular, the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean: while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) { log_tree_commit(rev, commit); free(commit->buffer); commit->buffer = NULL; } so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation. I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean. This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine too. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-04-10tree-diff: do not assume we use only one pathspecJunio C Hamano
The way tree-diff was set up assumed we would use only one set of pathspec during the entire life of the program. Move the pathspec related static variables out to diff_options structure so that we can filter commits with one set of paths while show the actual diffs using different set of paths. I suspect this breaks blame.c, and makes "git log paths..." to default to the --full-diff, the latter of which is dealt with the next commit. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-02-10combine-diff: Record diff status a bit more faithfullyJunio C Hamano
This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX" lines like two-way diff-patch output does, by checking the status from each parent. The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by showing diff status letters with each parent. While most of the case you would see "MM" in the output, an Evil Merge that touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is possible and it would be shown like these: $ git-diff-tree --abbrev -c HEAD 2d7ca89675eb8888b0b88a91102f096d4471f09f ::000000 000000 100644 0000000... 0000000... 31dd686...

2006-02-09combine-diff: move formatting logic to show_combined_diff()Junio C Hamano
This way, diff-files can make use of it. Also implement the full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for consistency. With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would show what is expected. There is no way to get the historical output (useful for debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs with parents". diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c. For textual combined diff, use -p -c. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-02-09diff-tree -c raw outputLinus Torvalds
NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics. I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't actually do that. The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons for <n> parents. So now, in the kernel, when you do git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd (to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you get cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd ::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287 arch/arm/Kconfig ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by result sha1). Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output. Cool/stupid exercise: $ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | less -S will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

2006-01-28diff-tree -c: show a merge commit a bit more sensibly.Junio C Hamano
A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is displayed when generating a patch output. It shows a "combined diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this: $ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18 diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents) Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae... Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Date: Sun Jan 15 22:25:35 2006 -0800 Merge fixes up to GIT 1.1.3 diff --combined describe.c @@@ +98,7 @@@ return (a_date > b_date) ? -1 : (a_date == b_date) ? 0 : 1; } - static void describe(char *arg) - static void describe(struct commit *cmit, int last_one) ++ static void describe(char *arg, int last_one) { + unsigned char sha1[20]; + struct commit *cmit; There are a few things to note about this feature: - The '-c' option implies '-p'. It also implies '-m' halfway in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all merges. - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff for that path at all. For a merge commit, this option shows paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things"). - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is not shown at all. You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no combined diff output. - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome. A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed from that parent's version). A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line (i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another parent). The above example output shows that the function signature was changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++" line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was inherited from the first parent. The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases, which I have fixed since then. It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers from parent commits, which it probably should.

2005-10-23Split up tree diff functions into tree-diff.c libraryLinus Torvalds
This makes the tree diff functionality independent of the "git-diff-tree" program, by splitting the core functionality up into a library file. This will be needed for when we teach git-rev-list to only follow a specified set of pathnames, rather than the global revision history. Most of it is a fairly straightforward code move, but it also involves some calling convention cleanup, and moving some of the static variables from diff-tree.c into the options structure. The actual tree change callback routines also become paramterized by the diff_options structure, allowing the library functionality to do something else than just show the diff on stdout. Right now the only user of this functionality remains git-diff-tree itself. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

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.

2005-06-01[PATCH] diff: mode bits fixesJunio C Hamano
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.
