"git diff -p" piped to external diffstat and "git diff --stat" may see
different patch text (both are valid and describe the same change
correctly) when counting the number of added and deleted lines, arriving
at different results to confuse the users, as --stat/--numstat codepath
always uses the hardcoded -U0 as the context length.
Make --stat/--numstat codepath to honor the context length the same way
as the textual patch codepath does to avoid this problem.

The diff config callback is split into two functions: one
which loads "ui" config, and one which loads "basic" config.
The former chains to the latter, as the diff UI config is a
superset of the plumbing config.
The color.diff variable is only loaded in the UI config.
However, the basic config actually chains to
git_color_default_config, which loads color.ui. This doesn't
actually cause any bugs, because the plumbing diff code does
not actually look at the value of color.ui.
However, it is somewhat nonsensical, and it makes it
difficult to refactor the color code. It probably came about
because there is no git_color_config to load only color
config, but rather just git_color_default_config, which
loads color config and chains to git_default_config.
This patch splits out the color-specific portion of
git_color_default_config so that the diff UI config can call
it directly. This is perhaps better explained by the
chaining of callbacks. Before we had:
git_diff_ui_config
-> git_diff_basic_config
-> git_color_default_config
-> git_default_config
Now we have:
git_diff_ui_config
-> git_color_config
-> git_diff_basic_config
-> git_default_config

When we read a color value either from a config file or from
the command line, we use git_config_colorbool to convert it
from the tristate always/never/auto into a single yes/no
boolean value.
This has some timing implications with respect to starting
a pager.
If we start (or decide not to start) the pager before
checking the colorbool, everything is fine. Either isatty(1)
will give us the right information, or we will properly
check for pager_in_use().
However, if we decide to start a pager after we have checked
the colorbool, things are not so simple. If stdout is a tty,
then we will have already decided to use color. However, the
user may also have configured color.pager not to use color
with the pager. In this case, we need to actually turn off
color. Unfortunately, the pager code has no idea which color
variables were turned on (and there are many of them
throughout the code, and they may even have been manipulated
after the colorbool selection by something like "--color" on
the command line).
This bug can be seen any time a pager is started after
config and command line options are checked. This has
affected "git diff" since 89d07f7 (diff: don't run pager if
user asked for a diff style exit code, 2007-08-12). It has
also affect the log family since 1fda91b (Fix 'git log'
early pager startup error case, 2010-08-24).
This patch splits the notion of parsing a colorbool and
actually checking the configuration. The "use_color"
variables now have an additional possible value,
GIT_COLOR_AUTO. Users of the variable should use the new
"want_color()" wrapper, which will lazily determine and
cache the auto-color decision.

Usually this function figures out for itself whether stdout
is a tty. However, it has an extra parameter just to allow
git-config to override the auto-detection for its
--get-colorbool option.
Instead of an extra parameter, let's just use a global
variable. This makes calling easier in the common case, and
will make refactoring the colorbool code much simpler.

This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.
This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

The size of objects we read from the repository and data we try to put
into the repository are represented in "unsigned long", so that on larger
architectures we can handle objects that weigh more than 4GB.
But the interface defined in zlib.h to communicate with inflate/deflate
limits avail_in (how many bytes of input are we calling zlib with) and
avail_out (how many bytes of output from zlib are we ready to accept)
fields effectively to 4GB by defining their type to be uInt.
In many places in our code, we allocate a large buffer (e.g. mmap'ing a
large loose object file) and tell zlib its size by assigning the size to
avail_in field of the stream, but that will truncate the high octets of
the real size. The worst part of this story is that we often pass around
z_stream (the state object used by zlib) to keep track of the number of
used bytes in input/output buffer by inspecting these two fields, which
practically limits our callchain to the same 4GB limit.
Wrap z_stream in another structure git_zstream that can express avail_in
and avail_out in unsigned long. For now, just die() when the caller gives
a size that cannot be given to a single zlib call. In later patches in the
series, we would make git_inflate() and git_deflate() internally loop to
give callers an illusion that our "improved" version of zlib interface can
operate on a buffer larger than 4GB in one go.

There is only one caller that cares about the status from deflateEnd().
Introduce git_deflate_end_gently() to let that sole caller retrieve the

With diff.suppress-blank-empty=true, "git diff --word-diff" would

The problem was that fn_out_consume did not account for the
possibility of a line with length 1, i.e., the empty context line
that diff.suppress-blank-empty=true converts from " \n" to "\n".
Since it assumed there would always be a prefix character (the space),
it decremented "len" unconditionally, thus passing len=0 to emit_line,
which would then blindly call emit_line_0 with len=-1 which would
pass that value on to fwrite as SIZE_MAX. Boom.

When encountering errors or unknown tokens while parsing parameters to the
--dirstat option, it makes sense to die() with an error message informing
the user of which parameter did not make sense. However, when parsing the
diff.dirstat config variable, we cannot simply die(), but should instead
(after warning the user) ignore the erroneous or unrecognized parameter.
After all, future Git versions might add more dirstat parameters, and
using two different Git versions on the same repo should not cripple the
older Git version just because of a parameter that is only understood by
a more recent Git version.
This patch fixes the issue by refactoring the dirstat parameter parsing
so that parse_dirstat_params() keeps on parsing parameters, even if an
earlier parameter was not recognized. When parsing has finished, it returns
zero if all parameters were successfully parsed, and non-zero if one or
more parameters were not recognized (with appropriate error messages
appended to the 'errmsg' argument).
The parse_dirstat_params() callers then decide (based on the return value
from parse_dirstat_params()) whether to warn and ignore (in case of
diff.dirstat), or to warn and die (in case of --dirstat).
The patch also adds a couple of tests verifying the correct behavior of
--dirstat and diff.dirstat in the face of unknown (possibly future) dirstat
parameters.

This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called
show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis
(as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis)
to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed.
The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter
to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable).
For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines,
so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the
byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to
their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but
very cheap - heuristic.
In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes:
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null
yields the following average runtimes on my machine:
- "changes" (default): ~6.0 s
- "lines": ~9.6 s
- "files": ~0.1 s
So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going
through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes"
analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the
"lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat
numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other
--*stat options.
The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

- Add --dirstat=cumulative, replacing --cumulative
- Add --dirstat=files, replacing --dirstat-by-file

The expected output from --dirstat=0, is to include any directory with
changes, even if those changes contribute a minuscule portion of the total
changes. However, currently, directories that contribute less than 0.1% are
not included, since their 'permille' value is 0, and there is an
'if (permille)' check in gather_dirstat() that causes them to be ignored.
This test is obviously intended to exclude directories that contribute no
changes whatsoever, but in this case, it hits too broadly. The correct
check is against 'this_dir' from which the permille is calculated. Only if
this value is 0 does the directory truly contribute no changes, and should
be skipped from the output.
This patches fixes this issue, and updates corresponding testcases to

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
