2007-12-26Fix "git log --diff-filter" bugArjen Laarhoven
In commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564 (Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation) an optimization was made to avoid unnecessary diff generation. This was partly fixed in 99516e35d096f41e7133cacde8fbed8ee9a3ecd0 (Fix embarrassing "git log --follow" bug). The '--diff-filter' option also needs the diff machinery in action.

2007-12-12shortlog: default to HEAD when the standard input is a ttyJunio C Hamano
Instead of warning the user that it is expecting git log output from the standard input (and waiting for the user to type the log from the keyboard, which is a silly thing to do), default to traverse from HEAD when there is no rev parameter given and the standard input is a tty. This factors out a useful helper "add_head()" from builtin-diff.c to a more appropriate place revision.c while renaming it to more descriptive name add_head_to_pending(), as that is what the function is about.

2007-11-14Fix parent rewriting in --early-outputLinus Torvalds
We cannot tell a node that has been checked and found not to be interesting (which does not have the TREECHANGE flag) from a node that hasn't been checked if it is interesting or not, without relying on something else, such as object->parsed. But an object can get the "parsed" flag for other reasons. Which means that "TREECHANGE" has the wrong polarity. This changes the way how the path pruning logic marks an uninteresting commits. From now on, we consider a commit interesting by default, and explicitly mark the ones we decided to prune. The flag is renamed to "TREESAME". Then, this fixes the logic to show the early output with incomplete pruning. It basically says "a commit that has TREESAME set is kind-of-UNINTERESTING", but obviously in a different way than an outright UNINTERESTING commit. Until we parse and examine enough parents to determine if a commit becomes surely "kind-of-UNINTERESTING", we avoid rewriting the ancestry so that later rounds can fix things up.

2007-11-14Fix rev-list when showing objects involving submodulesLinus Torvalds
The function mark_tree_uninteresting() assumed that the tree entries are blob when they are not trees. This is not so. Since we do not traverse into submodules (yet), the gitlinks should be ignored. In general, we should try to start moving away from using the "S_ISLNK()" like things for internal git state. It was a mistake to just assume the numbers all were same across all systems in the first place. This implementation converts to the "object_type", and then uses a case statement.

2007-11-06revision walker: mini clean-upLinus Torvalds
This removes the unnecessary indirection of "revs->prune_fn", since that function is always the same one (or NULL), and there is in fact not even an abstraction reason to make it a function (i.e. its not called from some other file and doesn't allow us to keep the function itself static or anything like that). It then just replaces it with a bit that says "prune or not", and if not pruning, every commit gets TREECHANGE. That in turn means that - if (!revs->prune_fn || (flags & TREECHANGE)) - if (revs->prune_fn && !(flags & TREECHANGE)) just become - if (flags & TREECHANGE) - if (!(flags & TREECHANGE)) respectively. Together with adding the "single_parent()" helper function, the "complex" conditional now becomes if (!(flags & TREECHANGE) && rev->dense && single_parent(commit)) continue; Also indirection of "revs->dense" checking is thrown away the same way, because TREECHANGE bit is set appropriately now.

2007-11-05Enhance --early-output formatLinus Torvalds
This makes --early-output a bit more advanced, and actually makes it generate multiple "Final output:" headers as it updates things asynchronously. I realize that the "Final output:" line is now illogical, since it's not really final until it also says "done", but It now _always_ generates a "Final output:" header in front of any commit list, and that output header gives you a *guess* at the maximum number of commits available. However, it should be noted that the guess can be completely off: I do a reasonable job estimating it, but it is not meant to be exact. So what happens is that you may get output like this: - at 0.1 seconds: Final output: 2 incomplete .. 2 commits listed .. - half a second later: Final output: 33 incomplete .. 33 commits listed .. - another half a second after that: Final output: 71 incomplete .. 71 commits listed .. - another half second later: Final output: 136 incomplete .. 100 commits listed: we hit the --early-output limit, and .. will only output 100 commits, and after this you'll not .. see an "incomplete" report any more since you got as much .. early output as you asked for! - .. and then finally: Final output: 73106 done .. all the commits .. The above is a real-life scenario on my current kernel tree after having flushed all the caches. Tested with the experimental gitk patch that Paul sent out, and by looking at the actual log output (and verifying that my commit count guesses actually match real life fairly well).

2007-11-04Add "--early-output" log flag for interactive GUI useLinus Torvalds
This adds support for "--early-output[=n]" as a flag to the "git log" family of commands. This allows GUI programs to state that they want to get some output early, in order to be able to show at least something quickly, even if the full output may take longer to generate. If no count is specified, a default count of a hundred commits will be used, although the actual numbr of commits output may be smaller depending on how many commits were actually found in the first tenth of a second (or if *everything* was found before that, in which case no early output will be provided, and only the final list is made available). When the full list is generated, there will be a "Final output:" string prepended to it, regardless of whether any early commits were shown or not, so that the consumer can always know the difference between early output and the final list.

2007-11-04Simplify topo-sort logicLinus Torvalds
.. by not using quite so much indirection. This currently grows the "struct commit" a bit, which could be avoided by using a union for "util" and "indegree" (the topo-sort used to use "util" anyway, so you cannot use them together), but for now the goal of this was to simplify, not optimize.

2007-10-16Fix embarrassing "git log --follow" bugLinus Torvalds
It turns out that I completely broke "git log --follow" with my recent patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generation", commit b7bb760d5ed4881422673d32f869d140221d3564). Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function, exactly the same way pickaxe does. So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment). Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following (which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs themselves. So while "git log --follow <filename>" didn't work, adding a "-p" magically made it work again even without this fix.

2007-09-29Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff generationLinus Torvalds
We used to incorrectly start calculating diffs whenever any argument but '-z' was recognized by the diff options parsing. That was bogus, since not all arguments result in diffs being needed, so we just waste a lot of time and effort on calculating diffs that don't matter. This actually also fixes another bug in "git log". Try this: git log -C and notice how it prints an extra empty line in between log entries, even though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff format, so the diff machinery never prints anything). With this patch, that bogus empty line is gone, because "revs->diff" is never set. So this isn't just a "wasted time and effort" issue, it's also a slight semantic fix.

2007-09-15revision walker: --cherry-pick is a limited operationJohannes Schindelin
We used to rely on the fact that cherry-pick would trigger the code path to set limited = 1 in handle_commit(), when an uninteresting commit was encountered. However, when cherry picking between two independent branches, i.e. when there are no merge bases, and there is only linear development (which can happen when you cvsimport a fork of a project), no uninteresting commit will be encountered. So set limited = 1 when --cherry-pick was asked for. Noticed by Martin Bähr. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-20Don't allow combination of -g and --reverse as it doesn't workShawn O. Pearce
The --walk-reflogs logic and the --reverse logic are completely incompatible with one another. Attempting to use both at the same time leads to confusing results that sometimes violates the user's formatting options or ignores the user's request to see the reflog message and timestamp. Unfortunately the implementation of both of these features is glued onto the side of the revision walking machinary in such a way that they are probably not going to be easy to make them compatible with each other. Rather than offering the user confusing results we are better off bailing out with an error message until such a time as the implementations can be refactored to be compatible.

2007-07-24Teach revision machinery about --no-walkJohannes Schindelin
The flag "no_walk" is present in struct rev_info since a long time, but so far has been in use exclusively by "git show". With this flag, you can see all your refs, ordered by date of the last commit: $ git log --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --no-walk which is extremely helpful if you have to juggle with a lot topic branches, and do not remember in which one you introduced that uber debug option, or simply want to get an overview what is cooking. (Note that the "git log" invocation above does not output the same as $ git show --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline --decorate --all --quiet since "git show" keeps the alphabetic order that "--all" returns the refs in, even if the option "--date-order" was passed.)

2007-06-23Finally implement "git log --follow"Linus Torvalds
Ok, I've really held off doing this too damn long, because I'm lazy, and I was always hoping that somebody else would do it. But no, people keep asking for it, but nobody actually did anything, so I decided I might as well bite the bullet, and instead of telling people they could add a "--follow" flag to "git log" to do what they want to do, I decided that it looks like I just have to do it for them.. The code wasn't actually that complicated, in that the diffstat for this patch literally says "70 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)", but I will have to admit that in order to get to this fairly simple patch, you did have to know and understand the internal git diff generation machinery pretty well, and had to really be able to follow how commit generation interacts with generating patches and generating the log. So I suspect that while I was right that it wasn't that hard, I might have been expecting too much of random people - this patch does seem to be firmly in the core "Linus or Junio" territory. To make a long story short: I'm sorry for it taking so long until I just did it. I'm not going to guarantee that this works for everybody, but you really can just look at the patch, and after the appropriate appreciative noises ("Ooh, aah") over how clever I am, you can then just notice that the code itself isn't really that complicated. All the real new code is in the new "try_to_follow_renames()" function. It really isn't rocket science: we notice that the pathname we were looking at went away, so we start a full tree diff and try to see if we can instead make that pathname be a rename or a copy from some other previous pathname. And if we can, we just continue, except we show *that* particular diff, and ever after we use the _previous_ pathname. One thing to look out for: the "rename detection" is considered to be a singular event in the _linear_ "git log" output! That's what people want to do, but I just wanted to point out that this patch is *not* carrying around a "commit,pathname" kind of pair and it's *not* going to be able to notice the file coming from multiple *different* files in earlier history. IOW, if you use "git log --follow", then you get the stupid CVS/SVN kind of "files have single identities" kind of semantics, and git log will just pick the identity based on the normal move/copy heuristics _as_if_ the history could be linearized. Put another way: I think the model is broken, but given the broken model, I think this patch does just about as well as you can do. If you have merges with the same "file" having different filenames over the two branches, git will just end up picking _one_ of the pathnames at the point where the newer one goes away. It never looks at multiple pathnames in parallel. And if you understood all that, you probably didn't need it explained, and if you didn't understand the above blathering, it doesn't really mtter to you. What matters to you is that you can now do git log -p --follow builtin-rev-list.c and it will find the point where the old "rev-list.c" got renamed to "builtin-rev-list.c" and show it as such.

2007-03-06revision walker: Fix --boundary when limitedJunio C Hamano
This cleans up the boundary processing in the commit walker. It - rips out the boundary logic from the commit walker. Placing "negative" commits in the revs->commits list was Ok if all we cared about "boundary" was the UNINTERESTING limiting case, but conceptually it was wrong. - makes get_revision_1() function to walk the commits and return the results as if there is no funny postprocessing flags such as --reverse, --skip nor --max-count. - makes get_revision() function the postprocessing phase: If reverse is given, wait for get_revision_1() to give everything that it would normally give, and then reverse it before consuming. If skip is given, skip that many before going further. If max is given, stop when we gave out that many. Now that we are about to return one positive commit, mark the parents of that commit to be potential boundaries before returning, iff we are doing the boundary processing. Return the commit. - After get_revision() finishes giving out all the positive commits, if we are doing the boundary processing, we look at the parents that we marked as potential boundaries earlier, see if they are really boundaries, and give them out. It loses more code than it adds, even when the new gc_boundary() function, which is purely for early optimization, is counted. Note that this patch is purely for eyeballing and discussion only. It breaks git-bundle's verify logic because the logic does not use BOUNDARY_SHOW flag for its internal computation anymore. After we correct it not to attempt to affect the boundary processing by setting the BOUNDARY_SHOW flag, we can remove BOUNDARY_SHOW from revision.h and use that bit assignment for the new CHILD_SHOWN flag.
