Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down,
because lines at the edges of the group are not unique. Picking good
shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has
a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two
diffs. The first is what standard Git emits:
--- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl

This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders"
using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the
indentation of nearby lines into account.
The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down
in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be
aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case
Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one
add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often
yields ugly diffs.
Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to
position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when
that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it
can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2)
always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be
better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as
the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs.
This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking
optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe
that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two
splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first
added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line
and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the
positioning that creates the least bad splits.
Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby
blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it
prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that
are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation.
In more detail:
1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting
position in a `struct split_measurement`:
* the number of blank lines above the proposed split
* whether the line directly after the split is blank
* the number of blank lines following that line
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split
* the indentation of the line directly below the split
* the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line
2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of
empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct
split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at
that position.
3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the
slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position
that has the best `split_score`.
I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus
of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various
programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and
determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I
used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to
about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights
against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter
space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values.
Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The
results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`:

In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated
sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*. The columns are
* "repository" - the name of the repository used. I used the diffs
between successive non-merge commits on the HEAD branch of the
corresponding repository.
* "count" - the number of sliders that were human-rated. I chose most,
but not all, sliders to rate from those among which the various
algorithms gave different answers.
* "Git 2.9.0" - the default algorithm used by `git diff` in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction" - the heuristic used by `git diff --compaction-heuristic`
in Git 2.9.0.
* "compaction-fixed" - the heuristic used by `git diff
--compaction-heuristic` after the fixes from earlier in this patch
series. Note that the results are not dramatically different than
those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as
often as the default `git diff`.
* "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first
set of weighting factors, determined as described above.
* "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final
set of weighting factors, determined as described below.
* `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine
the first set of weighting factors.
The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as
on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the
heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of
optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting
set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the
weights included in this patch.
The final result gives consistently and significantly better results
across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff
--compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the
former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction
of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted
code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.)
The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along
with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project
[1].
This patch adds a new command-line option `--indent-heuristic`, and a
new configuration setting `diff.indentHeuristic`, that activate this
heuristic. This interface is only meant for testing purposes, and should
be finalized before including this change in any release.

We use plumbing to generate the diff, so it doesn't
automatically pick up UI config like compactionHeuristic.
Let's forward it on, since interactive adding is porcelain.
Note that we only need to handle the "true" case. There's no
point in passing --no-compaction-heuristic when the variable
is false, since nothing else could have turned it on.

The patch hunk selector of add--interactive knows how ask
git for colorized diffs, and correlate them with the
uncolored diffs we apply. But there's not any way for
somebody who uses a diff-filter tool like contrib's
diff-highlight to see their normal highlighting.
This patch lets users define an arbitrary shell command to
pipe the colorized diff through. The exact output shouldn't
matter (since we just show the result to humans) as long as
it is line-compatible with the original diff (so that
hunk-splitting can split the colorized version, too).
I left two minor issues with the new system that I don't
think are worth fixing right now, but could be done later:
1. We only filter colorized diffs. Theoretically a user
could want to filter a non-colorized diff, but I find
it unlikely in practice. Users who are doing things
like diff-highlighting are likely to want color, too.
2. add--interactive will re-colorize a diff which has been
hand-edited, but it won't have run through the filter.
Fixing this is conceptually easy (just pipe the diff
through the filter), but practically hard to do without
using tempfiles (it would need to feed data to and read
the result from the filter without deadlocking; this
raises portability questions with respect to Windows).
I've punted on both issues for now, and if somebody really
cares later, they can do a patch on top.

The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
user could have made was to choose nothing.
* ak/add-i-empty-candidates:
add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidate
|
|
The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the
user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of
items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original
candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can
only say "I am done choosing".
Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without
bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic
to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is
empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so
no change to the callers is necessary.
This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i"
and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give
an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this
change, we no longer do.

The main hunk loop for add--interactive will loop if it does
not get a known input. This is a good thing if the user
typed some invalid input. However, if we have an
uncorrectable read error, we'll end up looping infinitely.
We can fix this by noticing read errors (i.e., <STDIN>
returns undef) and breaking out of the loop.
One easy way to trigger this is if you have an editor that
does not take over the terminal (e.g., one that spawns a
window in an existing process and waits), start the editor
with the hunk-edit command, and hit ^C to send SIGINT. The
editor process dies due to SIGINT, but the perl
add--interactive process does not (perl suspends SIGINT for
the duration of our system() call).
We return to the main loop, but further reads from stdin
don't work. The SIGINT _also_ killed our parent git process,
which orphans our process group, meaning that further reads
from the terminal will always fail. We loop infinitely,
getting EIO on each read.
Note that there are several other spots where we read from
stdin, too. However, in each of those cases, we do something
sane when the read returns undef (breaking out of the loop,
taking the input as "no", etc). They don't need similar
treatment.

Back in 21e9757e (Hack git-add--interactive to make it work with
ActiveState Perl, 2007-08-01), the invocation of external commands was
changed to use qx{} on Windows. The rationale was that the command
interpreter on Windows is not a POSIX shell, but rather Windows's CMD.
That patch was wrong to include 'msys' in the check whether to use qx{}
or not: 'msys' identifies MSYS perl as shipped with Git for Windows,
which does not need the special treatment; qx{} should be used only with
ActiveState perl, which is identified by 'MSWin32'.

Appending "--diff-algorithm=histogram" at the end of canned command
line for various modes of "diff" is correct for most of them but not
for "stash" that has a non-option already wired in, like so:
'stash' => {
DIFF => 'diff-index -p HEAD',
Appending an extra option after non-option may happen to work due to
overly lax command line parser, but that is not something we should
rely on. Instead, splice in the extra argument immediately after the
command name (i.e. 'diff-index', 'diff-files', etc.).

When staging hunks interactively it is sometimes useful to use an
alternative diff algorithm which splits the changes into hunks in a more
logical manner. This is not possible because the plumbing commands
called by add--interactive ignore the "diff.algorithm" configuration
option (as they should).
Since add--interactive is a porcelain command it should respect this
configuration variable. To do this, make it read diff.algorithm and
pass its value to the underlying diff-index and diff-files invocations.
At this point, do not add options to "git add", "git reset" or "git
checkout" (all of which can call git-add--interactive). If a user
wants to override the value on the command line they can use:
git -c diff.algorithm=$ALGO ...

When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined
diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be
confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there
are other changes to stage (in which case you get the
superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or
not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program
exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes").
The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the
implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly
remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and
print a warning that we are ignoring them.
We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding
"--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run.
There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing
this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a
numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we
would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX'
field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must
move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is
sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places,
since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw
entry).

On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".
As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.
Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.

Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02),
"git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the
underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected
by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are
still passed when the patch is edited.
Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety
feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches
to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath.
Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the
correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks.

Change the Perl scripts to turn on lexical warnings instead of setting
the global $^W variable via the -w switch.
The -w sets warnings for all code that interpreter runs, while "use
warnings" is lexically scoped. The former is probably not what the
authors wanted.
As an auxiliary benefit it's now possible to build Git with:

Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since

sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;

Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

The "a" and "d" commands to ‘add --patch’ (accept/reject rest of file)
interact with "j", "g", and "/" (skip some hunks) in a perhaps
confusing way: after accepting or rejecting all _later_ hunks in the
file, they return to the earlier, skipped hunks and prompt the user
about them again.
This behavior can be very useful in practice. One can still accept or
reject _all_ undecided hunks in a file by using the "g" command to
move to hunk #1 first.

* jk/maint-add--interactive-delete:
add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering
|
|
When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we
first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of
the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however,
become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble
the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected
hunks. This leads to patches like this:
diff --git a/file b/file
index d95f3ad..0000000
--- a/file
+++ /dev/null
deleted file mode 100644
@@ -1 +0,0 @@
-content
Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines,
when it should come before.
In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply
accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific
case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply
-R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply.
This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout
-p".
Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input,
let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

* jk/maint-add-p-delete-fix:
add-interactive: fix deletion of non-empty files
|
|
Commit 24ab81a fixed the deletion of empty files, but broke
deletion of non-empty files. The approach it took was to
factor out the "deleted" line from the patch header into its
own hunk, the same way we do for mode changes. However,
unlike mode changes, we only showed the special "delete this
file" hunk if there were no other hunks. Otherwise, the user
would annoyingly be presented with _two_ hunks: one for
deleting the file and one for deleting the content.
This meant that in the non-empty case, we forgot about the
deleted line entirely, and we submitted a bogus patch to
git-apply (with "/dev/null" as the destination file, but not
marked as a deletion).
Instead, this patch combines the file deletion hunk and the
content deletion hunk (if there is one) into a single
deletion hunk which is either staged or not.

Use the new "git var GIT_EDITOR" feature to decide what editor to
use, instead of duplicating its logic elsewhere. This should make
the behavior of commands in edge cases (e.g., editor names with
spaces) a little more consistent.

Usually we show deletion as a big hunk deleting all of the
file's text. However, for files with no content, the diff
shows just the 'deleted file mode ...' line. This patch
cause "add -p" (and related commands) to recognize that line
and explicitly ask about deleting the file.
We only add the "stage this deletion" hunk for empty files,
since other files will already ask about the big content
deletion hunk. We could also change those files to simply
display "stage this deletion", but showing the actual
deleted content is probably what an interactive user wants.

Make "git add -p" to not skip files that are in index even if they are
excluded (by .gitignore etc.). This fixes the contradictory behavior
that "git status" and "git commit -a" listed such files as modified, but
"git add -p FILENAME" ignored them.

This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from
the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a
stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is
the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply
--keep-index.
Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree
but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing
if you had also staged these changes. This is not entirely
satisfactory, but due to the way stashes are applied, other solutions
would require a change to the stash format.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage
git checkout --patch -- [files...]
it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of
hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying
them to the worktree).
We also accept a revision argument. In the case
git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...]
we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and
reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to
discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage
git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...]
it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and
<revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and
worktree.
The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the
sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should
always apply to the worktree). If it does not, we give the user a
choice to either abort or apply to the worktree anyway.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-reset. The basic case is
git reset --patch -- [files...]
which acts as the opposite of 'git add --patch -- [files...]': it
offers hunks for *un*staging. Advanced usage is
git reset --patch <revision> -- [files...]
which offers hunks from the diff between the index and <revision> for
forward application to the index. (That is, the basic case is just
<revision> = HEAD.)

In 0392513 (add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handling, 2009-04-16),
we merged the interaction loops for mode changes and hunk staging.
This was fine at the time, because 0beee4c (git-add--interactive:
remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02) removed hunk coalescing.
However, in 7a26e65 (Revert "git-add--interactive: remove hunk
coalescing", 2009-05-16), we resurrected it. Since then, the code
would attempt in vain to merge mode changes with diff hunks,
corrupting both in the process.
We add a check to the coalescing loop to ensure it only looks at diff
hunks, thus skipping mode changes.

This makes some aspects of the 'git add -p' loop configurable (within
the code), so that we can later reuse git-add--interactive for other
similar tools.
Most fields are fairly straightforward, but APPLY gets a subroutine
(instead of just a string a la 'apply --cached') so that we can handle
'checkout -p', which will need to atomically apply the patch twice
(index and worktree).
