Junio C Hamano 2b459b483c diff: make sure work tree side is shown as 0{40} when different
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.

Junio C Hamano 2efb3b0617 Clean up find_unique_abbrev() callers
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.

Jim Meyering 8e0f70033b Avoid unnecessary "if-before-free" tests.
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]

Junio C Hamano cd676a5136 diff --relative: output paths as relative to the current subdirectory
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.

Linus Torvalds 7df7c019c2 Add "--dirstat" for some directory statistics
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

            Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

	  20.5% crypto/
	   7.6% fs/afs/
	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  15.3% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

where that latter example is an example of significant work in some
individual fs/*/ subdirectories (like the patches to reiserfs accounting
for 7.6% of the whole), but then discounting those individual filesystems,
there's also 15.3% other "random" things that weren't worth reporting on
their oen left over under fs/ in general (either in that directory itself,
or in subdirectories of fs/ that didn't have enough changes to be reported
individually).

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...
	Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
	Date:   Thu Feb 7 00:15:26 2008 -0800

	    Convert ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) instances to ERR_CAST(p)

	  20.5% crypto/
	   7.6% fs/afs/
	   7.6% fs/fuse/
	   7.6% fs/gfs2/
	   5.1% fs/jffs2/
	   5.1% fs/nfs/
	   5.1% fs/nfsd/
	   7.6% fs/reiserfs/
	  61.5% fs/
	   7.6% net/rxrpc/
	  10.2% security/keys/

in which the commit percentages now obviously add up to much more than
100%: now the changes that were already reported for the sub-directories
under fs/ are then cumulatively included in the whole percentage of fs/
(ie now shows 61.5% as opposed to the 15.3% without the cumulative
reporting).

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!

Steffen Prohaska 21e5ad50fc safecrlf: Add mechanism to warn about irreversible crlf conversions
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.

Junio C Hamano eadb583134 Avoid running lstat(2) on the same cache entry.
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.

     which case this is a noop.
  2. The program didn't, which means it is plumbing that
     does not _want_ git_diff_ui_config to be loaded.

Jeff King e467193ff3 diff: load funcname patterns in "basic" config
The funcname patterns influence the "comment" on @@ lines of
the diff. They are safe to use with plumbing since they
don't fundamentally change the meaning of the diff in any
way.

Since all diff users call either diff_ui_config or
diff_basic_config, we can get rid of the lazy reading of the
config.

Jeff King 9a1805a872 add a "basic" diff config callback
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).

Wincent Colaiuta 45e2a4b2b0 Make "diff --check" output match "git apply"
For consistency, make the two tools report whitespace errors in the
same way (the output of "diff --check" has been tweaked to match
that of "git apply").

Note that although the textual content is basically the same only
"git diff --check" provides a colorized version of the problematic
lines; making "git apply" do colorization will require more extensive
changes (figuring out the diff colorization preferences of the user)
and so that will be a subject for another commit.

Wincent Colaiuta c1795bb08a Unify whitespace checking
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.

Junio C Hamano da31b358fb diff --check: minor fixups
There is no reason --exit-code and --check-diff must be mutually
exclusive, so assign different bits to different results and allow them
to be returned from the command.  Introduce diff_result_code() to factor
out the common code to decide final status code based on diffopt
settings and use it everywhere.

Update tests to match the above fix.

Junio C Hamano f604652e05 git-diff --numstat -z: make it machine readable
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.

Junio C Hamano cf1b7869f0 Use gitattributes to define per-path whitespace rule
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.

Junio C Hamano 0f6f5a4022 git config --get-colorbool
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.

Junio C Hamano 459fa6d0fe git-diff: complain about >=8 consecutive spaces in initial indent
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

Junio C Hamano a9cc857ada War on whitespace: first, a bit of retreat.
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.
