"git diff" family of commands learned the "-I<regex>" option to
ignore hunks whose changed lines all match the given pattern.
* mk/diff-ignore-regex:
diff: add -I<regex> that ignores matching changes
merge-base, xdiff: zero out xpparam_t structures
Add a new diff option that enables ignoring changes whose all lines
(changed, removed, and added) match a given regular expression. This is
similar to the -I/--ignore-matching-lines option in standalone diff
utilities and can be used e.g. to ignore changes which only affect code
comments or to look for unrelated changes in commits containing a large
number of automatically applied modifications (e.g. a tree-wide string
replacement). The difference between -G/-S and the new -I option is
that the latter filters output on a per-change basis.
Use the 'ignore' field of xdchange_t for marking a change as ignored or
not. Since the same field is used by --ignore-blank-lines, identical
hunk emitting rules apply for --ignore-blank-lines and -I. These two
options can also be used together in the same git invocation (they are
complementary to each other).
Rename xdl_mark_ignorable() to xdl_mark_ignorable_lines(), to indicate

The output from the "diff" family of the commands had abbreviated
object names of blobs involved in the patch, but its length was not
affected by the --abbrev option. Now it is.
* dd/diff-customize-index-line-abbrev:
diff: index-line: respect --abbrev in object's name
t4013: improve diff-post-processor logic
A handful of Git's commands respect `--abbrev' for customizing length
of abbreviation of object names.
For diff-family, Git supports 2 different options for 2 different
purposes, `--full-index' for showing diff-patch object's name in full,
and `--abbrev' to customize the length of object names in diff-raw and
diff-tree header lines, without any options to customise the length of
object names in diff-patch format. When working with diff-patch format,
we only have two options, either full index, or default abbrev length.
Although, that behaviour is documented, it doesn't stop users from
trying to use `--abbrev' with the hope of customising diff-patch's
objects' name's abbreviation.
Let's allow the blob object names shown on the "index" line to be
abbreviated to arbitrary length given via the "--abbrev" option.
To preserve backward compatibility with old script that specify both
`--full-index' and `--abbrev', always show full object id
if `--full-index' is specified.

This reverts commit 489947cee5, which
stopped treating merges into the 'master' branch as special when
preparing the default merge message. As the goal was not to have
any single branch designated as special, it solved it by leaving the
"into <branchname>" at the end of the title of the default merge
message for any and all branches. An obvious and easy alternative
to treat everybody equally could have been to remove it for every
branch, but that involves loss of information.
We'll introduce a new mechanism to let end-users specify merges into
which branches would omit the "into <branchname>" from the title of
the default merge message, and make the mechanism, when unconfigured,
treat the traditional 'master' special again, so all the changes to
the tests we made earlier will become unnecessary, as these tests
will be run without configuring the said new mechanism.

When using "--first-parent" to consider history as a single line of
commits, git-log still defaults to treating merges specially, even
though they could be considered as single commits in the linearized
history (that just introduce all of the changes from the second and
higher parents).
Let's instead have "--first-parent" imply "-m", which makes something
like:
git log --first-parent -p
do what you'd expect. Likewise:
git log --first-parent -Sfoo
will find "foo" in merge commits.
No new test is needed; we'll tweak the output of the existing
"--first-parent -p" test, which now matches the "-m --first-parent -p"
test. The unchanged existing test for "--no-diff-merges" confirms that
the user can get the old behavior if they want.

The "-m" option sets revs->ignore_merges to "0", but there's no way to
undo it. This probably isn't something anybody overly cares about, since
"1" is already the default, but it will serve as an escape hatch when we
flip the default for ignore_merges to "0" in more situations.
We'll also add a few extra niceties:
- initialize the value to "-1" to indicate "not set", and then resolve
it to the normal 0/1 bool in setup_revisions(). This lets any tweak
functions, as well as setup_revisions() itself, avoid clobbering the
user's preference (which until now they couldn't actually express).
- since we now have --no-diff-merges, let's add the matching
--diff-merges, which is just a synonym for "-m". Then we don't even
need to document --no-diff-merges separately; it countermands the
long form of "-m" in the usual way.
The new test shows that this behaves just the same as the current
behavior without "-m".

Since its introduction in 7249e91 (revision.c: support --notes
command-line option, 2011-03-29), combining '--notes' with any option
that causes us to format notes (e.g., '--pretty', '--format="%N"', etc)
results in a failed assertion at runtime.
$ git rev-list HEAD | git diff-tree --stdin --pretty=medium --notes
commit 8f3d9f354286745c751374f5f1fcafee6b3f3136
git: notes.c:1308: format_display_notes: Assertion `display_notes_trees' failed.
Aborted
This failure is due to diff-tree not calling 'load_display_notes' to
initialize the notes machinery.
Ordinarily, this failure isn't triggered, because it requires passing
both '--notes' and another of the above mentioned options. In the case
of '--pretty', for example, we set 'opt->verbose_header', causing
'show_log()' to eventually call 'format_display_notes()', which expects
a non-NULL 'display_note_trees'.
Without initializing the notes machinery, 'display_note_trees' remains
NULL, and thus triggers an assertion failure.
Fix this by initializing the notes machinery after parsing our options,
and harden this behavior against regression with a test in t4013. (Note
that the added ref in this test requires updating two unrelated tests
which use 'log --all', and thus need to learn about the new refs).

Currently "--cc --dirstat" will show nothing for a merge. Like
--shortstat and --summary in the previous two patches, it probably makes
sense to treat it like we do --stat, and show a stat against the
first-parent.
This case is less obviously correct than for --shortstat and --summary,
as those are basically variants of --stat themselves. It's possible we
could develop a multi-parent combined dirstat format, in which case we
might regret defining this first-parent behavior. But the same could be
said for --stat, and in the 12+ years of it showing first-parent stats,
nobody has complained.
So showing the first-parent dirstat is at least _useful_, and if we
later develop a clever multi-parent stat format, we'd probably have to
deal with --stat anyway.

both the same way.
Note that we have to tweak t4013's setup a bit to test this case, as the
existing merges do not have any --summary results against their first
parent. But since the merge at the tip of 'master' does add and remove

Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used
in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the
same file is in two places (--stat and --summary).
On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of
display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of
files.
--compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the
little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with
commit 0433d533f1:
Documentation/merge-config.txt | 4 +
builtin/merge.c | 2 +
...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++
t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 ++++++++
4 files changed, 132 insertions(+)
It helps both condensing information and saving some text
space. What's new in diffstat is:
- A new 0644 file is shown as (new)
- A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x)
- A new symlink is shown as (new +l)
- A deleted file is shown as (gone)
- A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x)
- A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x)
Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information
--summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be
added later, like R50% or C20%.

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.
setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)
Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.
The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work

This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.
This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which

The previous step to teach "log --decorate" to show "HEAD -> master"
instead of "HEAD, master" when showing the commit at the tip of the
'master' branch, when the 'master' branch is checked out, did not
work for "log --decorate=full".
The commands in the "log" family prepare commit decorations for all
refs upfront, and the actual string used in a decoration depends on
how load_ref_decorations() is called very early in the process. By
default, "git log --decorate" stores names with common prefixes such
as "refs/heads" stripped; "git log --decorate=full" stores the full
refnames.
When the current_pointed_by_HEAD() function has to decide if "HEAD"
points at the branch a decoration describes, however, what was
passed to load_ref_decorations() to decide to strip (or keep) such a
common prefix is long lost. This makes it impossible to reliably
tell if a decoration that stores "refs/heads/master", for example,
is the 'master' branch (under "--decorate" with prefix omitted) or
'refs/heads/master' branch (under "--decorate=full").
Keep what was passed to load_ref_decorations() in a global next to
the global variable name_decoration, and use that to decide how to
match what was read from "HEAD" and what is in a decoration.

Number of columns required for change counts is now computed based on
the maximum number of changed lines instead of being fixed. This means
that usually a few more columns will be available for the filenames
and the graph.
The graph width logic is also modified to include enough space for
"Bin XXX -> YYY bytes".
If changes to binary files are mixed with changes to text files,
change counts are padded to take at least three columns. And the other
way around, if change counts require more than three columns, then
"Bin"s are padded to align with the change count. This way, the +-
part starts in the same column as "XXX -> YYY" part for binary files.
This makes the graph easier to parse visually thanks to the empty
column. This mimics the layout of diff --stat before this change.
Tests and the tutorial are updated to reflect the new --stat output.
This means either the removal of extra padding and/or the addition of
up to three extra characters to truncated filenames. One test is added

change of more than 999 lines are committed together.

Currently, when using --dirstat-by-file, it first does the full --dirstat
analysis (using diffcore_count_changes()), and then resets 'damage' to 1,
if any damage was found by diffcore_count_changes().
But --dirstat-by-file is not interested in the file damage per se. It only
cares if the file changed at all. In that sense it only cares if the blob
object for a file has changed. We therefore only need to compare the
object names of each file pair in the diff queue and we can skip the
entire --dirstat analysis and simply set 'damage' to 1 for each entry
where the object name has changed.
This makes --dirstat-by-file faster, and also bypasses --dirstat's practice
of ignoring rearranged lines within a file.
The patch also contains an added testcase verifying that --dirstat-by-file

By default, git uses the version string as the signature for all
patches output by format-patch. Many employers (mine included)
require the use of a signature on all outgoing mails. In a
format-patch | send-email workflow there isn't an easy way to modify
the signature without breaking the pipe and manually replacing the
version string with the signature required. Instead of doing all that
work, add an option (--signature) and a config variable
(format.signature) to replace the default git version signature when
formatting patches.
This does modify the original behavior of format-patch a bit. First
off the version string is now placed in the cover letter by default.
Secondly, once the configuration variable format.signature is added
to the .config file there is no way to revert back to the default
git version signature. Instead, specifying the --no-signature option
will remove the signature from the patches entirely.

Given that "git show" always shows some diff and does not walk the history
by default, it is natural to expect "git show --first-parent" to show the
difference between the given commit and its first parent. It also would
be natural, given that "--cc" is the default, "git show -m" to show
pairwise difference from each of the parents.
We however always defaulted to --cc and there was no way to turn it off.

Traditionally, "show" defaulted to "show --cc" (dense combined patch), but
asking for combined patch with "show -c" didn't turn the patch output
format on; the placement of this logic in setup_revisions() dates back to
cd2bdc5 (Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friends,
2006-04-14).
This unfortunately cannot be done as a trivial change of "if dense
combined is asked, default to patch format" done in setup_revisions() to
"if any combined is asked, default to patch format", as "diff-tree -c"
needs to default to raw, while "diff-tree --cc" needs to default to patch,
and they share the codepath. These command specific defaults are now
handled in the new "tweak" callback that can be customized by individual
command implementations.

'git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all' is a useful way to get a
general overview of the repository state, similar to 'gitk --all'.
Let it indicate the position of HEAD by loading that ref too, so that
the --decorate code can see it.

Commit de435ac0 changed the behavior of --decorate from printing the
full ref (e.g., "refs/heads/master") to a shorter, more human-readable
version (e.g., just "master"). While this is nice for human readers,
external tools using the output from "git log" may prefer the full
version.
This patch introduces an extension to --decorate to allow the caller to
specify either the short or the full versions.

"tag: v1.6.2.5" looks much better than "tag: refs/tags/v1.6.2.5".

For example:
git format-patch --numbered-files --stdout --attach HEAD~~
will create two messages with files 1 and 2 attached respectively.
There is no effect when using --numbered-files and --stdout together
without an --attach or --inline, the --numbered-files option will be
ignored. Add a test to show this.

Currently when format-patch is used with --attach or --inline the patch
attachment has the SHA1 of the commit for its filename. This replaces
the SHA1 with the filename used by format-patch when outputting to
files.
Fix tests relying on the SHA1 output and add a test showing how the
--suffix option affects the attachment filename output.
