Junio C Hamano cb4575fb18 Merge branch 'jk/diff-follow-must-take-one-pathspec' into maint
"git format-patch" did not enforce the rule that the "--follow"
option from the log/diff family of commands must be used with
exactly one pathspec.

* jk/diff-follow-must-take-one-pathspec:
  move "--follow needs one pathspec" rule to diff_setup_done
2014-06-25 11:47:23 -07:00
Jeff King dd63f169d9 move "--follow needs one pathspec" rule to diff_setup_done
Because of the way "--follow" is implemented, we must have
exactly one pathspec. "git log" enforces this restriction,
but other users of the revision traversal code do not. For
example, "git format-patch --follow" will segfault during
try_to_follow_renames, as we have no pathspecs at all.

We can push this check down into diff_setup_done, which is
probably a better place anyway. It is the diff code that
introduces this restriction, so other parts of the code
should not need to care themselves.

Jeff King 82fbf269b9 run_external_diff: use an argv_array for the command line
We currently generate the command-line for the external
command using a fixed-length array of size 10. But if there
is a rename, we actually need 11 elements (10 items, plus a
NULL), and end up writing a random NULL onto the stack.

Rather than bump the limit, let's just use an argv_array, which
makes this sort of error impossible.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy f34b205f6c diff: do not quit early on stat-dirty files
When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.

Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.

This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().

This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

Thomas Rast aba4727281 diff: do not reuse_worktree_file for submodules
The GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF calling code attempts to reuse existing worktree
files for the worktree side of diffs, for performance reasons.
However, that code also tries to do the same with submodules.  This
results in calls to $GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF where the old-file is a file of
the form "Submodule commit $sha1", but the new-file is a directory in
the worktree.

Fix it by never reusing a worktree "file" in the submodule case.

Zoltan Klinger ee7fb0b1d4 difftool: display the number of files in the diff queue in the prompt
When --prompt option is set, git-difftool displays a prompt for each
modified file to be viewed in an external diff program.  At that
point, it could be useful to display a counter and the total number
of files in the diff queue.

Below is the current difftool prompt for the first of 5 modified files:

    Viewing: 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

Consider the modified prompt:

    Viewing (1/5): 'diff.c'
    Launch 'vimdiff' [Y/n]:

The current GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF mechanism does not tell the number of
paths in the diff queue nor the current counter.  To make this
"counter/total" info available for GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF programs
without breaking existing ones by doing the following:

 - Keep track of the number of paths shown so far in diff_options;

 - Export two new environment variables from run_external_diff() to
   show the total number of paths (from diff_queue_struct) and the
   current value of the counter (from diff_options); and

 - Update git-difftool--helper to use these two environment variables.

new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '

Stefan Beller c189c4f2c4 diff: remove ternary operator evaluating always to true
The line being changed is deep inside the function builtin_diff.
The variable name_b, which is used to evaluate the ternary expression
must evaluate to true at that position, hence the replacement with
just name_b.

The name_b variable only occurs a few times in that lengthy function:
As a parameter to the function itself:
	static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a,
				 const char *name_b,
				...
The next occurrences are at:
	/* Never use a non-valid filename anywhere if at all possible */
	name_a = DIFF_FILE_VALID(one) ? name_a : name_b;
	name_b = DIFF_FILE_VALID(two) ? name_b : name_a;

	a_one = quote_two(a_prefix, name_a + (*name_a == '/'));
	b_two = quote_two(b_prefix, name_b + (*name_b == '/'));

In the last line of this block 'name_b' is dereferenced and compared
to '/'. This would crash if name_b was NULL. Hence in the following code
we can assume name_b being non-null.

The next occurrence is just as a function argument, which doesn't change
the memory, which name_b points to, so the assumption name_b being not
null still holds:
	emit_rewrite_diff(name_a, name_b, one, two,
				textconv_one, textconv_two, o);

The next occurrence would be the line of this patch. As name_b still must
be not null, we can remove the ternary operator.

Inside the emit_rewrite_diff function there is a also a line
	ecbdata.ws_rule = whitespace_rule(name_b ? name_b : name_a);
which was also simplified as there is also a dereference before the
ternary operator.

All options that trigger a patch output now override --no-patch.

The case of --binary deserves extra attention: the name may suggest that
it turns a normal patch into a binary patch, but it actually already
enables patch output when normally disabled (e.g. "git log --binary"
displays a patch), hence it makes sense for "git show --no-patch

Junio C Hamano 7f2ea5f0f2 diff: allow lowercase letter to specify what change class to exclude
In order to express "we do not care about deletions", we had to say
"--diff-filter=ACMRTXUB", giving all the possible change class
except for the one we do not want, "D".

This is cumbersome.  As all the change classes are in uppercase,
allow their lowercase counterpart to selectively exclude the class
from the output.  When such a negated change class is in the input,
start the filter option with the full bits set.

This would allow us to express the old "show-diff -q" with
"git diff-files --diff-filter=d".

string, and passed to the underlying diffcore_apply_filter()
function as a string for each resulting path we run number of
strchr() to see if each class of change among ACDMRTXUB is meant to
be given.

Change the function signature to pass the whole diff_options, so
that we can pre-parse this string in the next patch.

"git diff" refused to even show difference when core.safecrlf is
set to true (i.e. error out) and there are offending lines in the
working tree files.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy 9c5e6c802c Convert "struct cache_entry *" to "const ..." wherever possible
I attempted to make index_state->cache[] a "const struct cache_entry **"
to find out how existing entries in index are modified and where. The
question I have is what do we do if we really need to keep track of on-disk
changes in the index. The result is

 - diff-lib.c: setting CE_UPTODATE

 - name-hash.c: setting CE_HASHED

 - preload-index.c, read-cache.c, unpack-trees.c and
   builtin/update-index: obvious

 - entry.c: write_entry() may refresh the checked out entry via
   fill_stat_cache_info(). This causes "non-const struct cache_entry
   *" in builtin/apply.c, builtin/checkout-index.c and
   builtin/checkout.c

 - builtin/ls-files.c: --with-tree changes stagemask and may set
   CE_UPDATE

Of these, write_entry() and its call sites are probably most
interesting because it modifies on-disk info. But this is stat info
and can be retrieved via refresh, at least for porcelain
commands. Other just uses ce_flags for local purposes.

So, keeping track of "dirty" entries is just a matter of setting a
flag in index modification functions exposed by read-cache.c. Except
unpack-trees, the rest of the code base does not do anything funny
behind read-cache's back.

The actual patch is less valueable than the summary above. But if
anyone wants to re-identify the above sites. Applying this patch, then
this:

    diff --git a/cache.h b/cache.h
    index 430d021..1692891 100644
    --- a/cache.h
    +++ b/cache.h
    @@ -267,7 +267,7 @@ static inline unsigned int canon_mode(unsigned int mode)
     #define cache_entry_size(len) (offsetof(struct cache_entry,name) + (len) + 1)

     struct index_state {
    -	struct cache_entry **cache;
    +	const struct cache_entry **cache;
     	unsigned int version;
     	unsigned int cache_nr, cache_alloc, cache_changed;
     	struct string_list *resolve_undo;

will help quickly identify them without bogus warnings.
