Johannes Schindelin 46b8dec038 On some platforms, certain headers need to be included before regex.h
Happily, these are already included in cache.h, which is included anyway...
so: change the order of includes.

Petr Baudis d01d8c6782 Support for pickaxe matching regular expressions
git-diff-* --pickaxe-regex will change the -S pickaxe to match
POSIX extended regular expressions instead of fixed strings.

The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but
with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being
POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to
conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to
Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.

Junio C Hamano 2002eed6c9 [PATCH] diffcore-pickaxe: switch to "counting" behaviour.
Instead of finding old/new pair that one side has and the
other side does not have the specified string, find old/new pair
that contains the specified string as a substring different
number of times.  This would still not catch a case where you
introduce two static variable declarations and remove two static
function definitions from a file with -S"static", but would make
it behave a bit more intuitively.

Junio C Hamano f0c6b2a2fd [PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin
This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs.  This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.

When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case.  Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.

Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early.  In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it.  Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

Junio C Hamano 367cec1c02 [PATCH] Add --pickaxe-all to diff-* brothers.
When --pickaxe-all is given in addition to -S, pickaxe shows the
entire diffs contained in the changeset, not just the diffs for
the filepair that touched the sought-after string.  This is
useful to see the changes in context.

Junio C Hamano f7c1512af8 [PATCH] Rename/copy detection fix.
The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good
enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list
about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with
it.  This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making
things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch
reordering.

 (1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename
     and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible
     to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder
     patches.  This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the
     very end of the processing.

 (2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the
     "no-change" entries indiscriminatingly.  This was done due
     to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the
     diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which
     resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never
     being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver").  My
     special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this.
     When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be
     able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_
     necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch
     adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it.

 (3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too
     specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of
     the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_
     indeed about rename/copy.  This patch discards xfrm_msg
     field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason,
     and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and
     rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy
     logic.  One thing to note is that the information in a
     single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish
     renames from copies, and it is deliberately so.  This is to
     allow patches to be reordered in later stages.

 (4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format
     output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries
     appear on the output.

Junio C Hamano 6b14d7faf0 [PATCH] Diffcore updates.
This moves the path selection logic from individual programs to a new
diffcore transformer (diff-tree still needs to have its own for
performance reasons).  Also the header printing code in diff-tree was
tweaked not to produce anything when pickaxe is in effect and there is
nothing interesting to report.  An interesting example is the following
in the GIT archive itself:

    $ git-whatchanged -p -C -S'or something in a real script'

Junio C Hamano 81e50eabf0 [PATCH] The diff-raw format updates.
Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that
it does not use sequence of underscore '_' letters to express
nonexistence.  All '0' mode is used for that purpose instead.

The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary.  The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p
to get the diff/patch format.

Updated are both documentations and tests.

Junio C Hamano 52e9578985 [PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool "pickaxe".
This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer.  From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.

Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other.  For example:

 $ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M

would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".

In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.

The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.
