Junio C Hamano fa7b290895 diff: remove often unused parameters from diff_unmerge()
e9c8409 (diff-index --cached --raw: show tree entry on the LHS for
unmerged entries., 2007-01-05) added a <mode, object name> pair as
parameters to this function, to store them in the pre-image side of an
unmerged file pair.  Now the function is fixed to return the filepair it
queued, we can make the caller on the special case codepath to do so.

Junio C Hamano 76399c0195 diff.c: return filepair from diff_unmerge()
The underlying diff_queue() returns diff_filepair so that the caller can
further add information to it, and the helper function diff_unmerge()
utilizes the feature itself, but does not expose it to its callers, which
was kind of selfish.

Johan Herland 2ca8671470 --dirstat: In case of renames, use target filename instead of source filename
This changes --dirstat analysis to count "damage" toward the target filename,
rather than the source filename. For renames within a directory, this won't
matter to the final output, but when moving files between diretories, the
output now lists the target directory rather than the source directory.

Johan Herland 2ff3a80334 Teach --dirstat not to completely ignore rearranged lines within a file
Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are
rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0.
However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is
some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage.

Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to
entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still
represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there
is no change.

Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for
a pure file rename).

Johan Herland 0133dab75d --dirstat-by-file: Make it faster and more correct
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
now detects changes that only rearrange lines within a file.

Junio C Hamano 467ddc14fe git diff -D: omit the preimage of deletes
When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after
then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive
burden.

Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output
for deleted files.  When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single
wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage
text is also omitted.

To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is
designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly
for human consumption.

It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can
read the intention out of such a patch.  It however is impossible to apply
such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option
is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output.

Initial request by Mart Sõmermaa, documentation and tests helped by
Michael J Gruber.

Junio C Hamano f31027c99c diffcore-rename: fall back to -C when -C -C busts the rename limit
When there are too many paths in the project, the number of rename source
candidates "git diff -C -C" finds will exceed the rename detection limit,
and no inexact rename detection is performed.  We however could fall back
to "git diff -C" if the number of modified paths is sufficiently small.

Jonathan Nieder 9cba13ca5d standardize brace placement in struct definitions
In a struct definitions, unlike functions, the prevailing style is for
the opening brace to go on the same line as the struct name, like so:

 struct foo {
	int bar;
	char *baz;
 };

Indeed, grepping for 'struct [a-z_]* {$' yields about 5 times as many
matches as 'struct [a-z_]*$'.

Jeff King ded0abc73c diff: handle diffstat of rewritten binary files
The logic in builtin_diffstat assumes that a
complete_rewrite pair should have its lines counted. This is
nonsensical for binary files and leads to confusing things
like:

  $ git diff --stat --summary HEAD^ HEAD
   foo.rand |  Bin 4096 -> 4096 bytes
   1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

  $ git diff --stat --summary -B HEAD^ HEAD
   foo.rand |   34 +++++++++++++++-------------------
   1 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
   rewrite foo.rand (100%)

So let's reorder the function to handle binary files first
(which from diffstat's perspective look like complete
rewrites anyway), then rewrites, then actual diffstats.

There are two bonus prizes to this reorder:

  1. It gets rid of a now-superfluous goto.

  2. The binary case is at the top, which means we can
     further optimize it in the next patch.

Jeff King 92c57e5c1d bump rename limit defaults (again)
We did this once before in 5070591 (bump rename limit
defaults, 2008-04-30). Back then, we were shooting for about
1 second for a diff/log calculation, and 5 seconds for a
merge.

There are a few new things to consider, though:

  1. Average processors are faster now.

  2. We've seen on the mailing list some ugly merges where
     not using inexact rename detection leads to many more
     conflicts. Merges of this size take a long time
     anyway, so users are probably happy to spend a little
     bit of time computing the renames.

Let's bump the diff/merge default limits from 200/500 to
400/1000. Those are 2 seconds and 10 seconds respectively on
my modern hardware.

function to cache textconv results (keyed on the object name), however,
didn't check this condition, and ended up on storing the cached result
under a random object name.

Jeff King d391c0ff94 diff: don't use pathname-based diff drivers for symlinks
When we're diffing symlinks, we consider the contents to be
the pathname that the symlink points to. When a user sets up
a userdiff driver like "*.pdf diff=pdf", their "diff.pdf.*"
config generally tells us what to do with the content of
pdf files.

With the current code, we will actually process a symlink
like "link.pdf" using a configured pdf driver, meaning we
are using contents which consist of a pathname with
configuration that is expecting contents that consist of an
actual pdf file.

The most noticeable example of this would have been
textconv; however, it was already protected in its own
textconv-specific code path. We can still see the breakage
with something like "diff.*.binary", though. You could
also see it with diff.*.funcname, though it is a bit harder
to trigger accidentally there.

This patch adds a check for S_ISREG lower in the callstack
than the textconv-specific check, which should block use of
any userdiff config for non-regular files. We can drop the
check in the textconv code, which is now redundant.

Junio C Hamano f506b8e8b5 git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text
Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands.  This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp.  Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.

Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.

The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch").  I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages

Clemens Buchacher 34597c1f5a hash binary sha1 into patch id
Since commit 2f82f760 (Take binary diffs into
account for "git rebase"), binary files are
included in patch ID computation. Binary files are
diffed using the text diff algorithm, however,
which has a huge impact on performance. The
following tests performance for a 50000 line file
marked as binary in .gitattributes.

$ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master

real    0m0.367s
user    0m0.354s
sys     0m0.010s

Instead of diffing the binary files, hash the pre-
and post-image sha1, which is just as unique. As a
result, performance is much improved.

$ git format-patch --stdout --ignore-if-in-upstream master

Junio C Hamano 44c48a909a diff --follow: do call diffcore_std() as necessary
Usually, diff frontends populate the output queue with filepairs without
any rename information and call diffcore_std() to sort the renames out.
When --follow is in effect, however, diff-tree family of frontend has a
hack that looks like this:

    diff-tree frontend
    -> diff_tree_sha1()
       . populate diff_queued_diff
       . if --follow is in effect and there is only one change that
         creates the target path, then
       -> try_to_follow_renames()
	  -> diff_tree_sha1() with no pathspec but with -C
	  -> diffcore_std() to find renames
	  . if rename is found, tweak diff_queued_diff and put a
	    single filepair that records the found rename there
    -> diffcore_std()
       . tweak elements on diff_queued_diff by
       - rename detection
       - path ordering
       - pickaxe filtering

We need to skip parts of the second call to diffcore_std() that is related
to rename detection, and do so only when try_to_follow_renames() did find
a rename.  Earlier 1da6175 (Make diffcore_std only can run once before a
diff_flush, 2010-05-06) tried to deal with this issue incorrectly; it
unconditionally disabled any second call to diffcore_std().

This hopefully fixes the breakage.

Jakub Narebski d8faea9d18 diff: strip extra "/" when stripping prefix
There are two ways a user might want to use "diff --relative":

  1. For a file in a directory, like "subdir/file", the user
     can use "--relative=subdir/" to strip the directory.

  2. To strip part of a filename, like "foo-10", they can
     use "--relative=foo-".

We currently handle both of those situations. However, if the user passes
"--relative=subdir" (without the trailing slash), we produce inconsistent
results. For the unified diff format, we collapse the double-slash of
"a//file" correctly into "a/file". But for other formats (raw, stat,
name-status), we end up with "/file".

We can do what the user means here and strip the extra "/" (and only a
slash).  We are not hurting any existing users of (2) above with this
behavior change because the existing output for this case was nonsensical.

Johannes Schindelin be4f2b408e Add the 'diff.ignoreSubmodules' config setting
When you have a lot of submodules checked out, the time penalty to check
for dirty submodules can easily imply a multiplication of the total time
by the factor 20. This makes the difference between almost instantaneous
(< 2 seconds) and unbearably slow (> 50 seconds) here, since the disk
caches are constantly overloaded.

To this end, the submodule.*.ignore config option was introduced, but it
is per-submodule.

This commit introduces a global config setting to set a default
(porcelain) value for the --ignore-submodules option, keeping the
default at 'none'. It can be overridden by the submodule.*.ignore
setting and by the --ignore-submodules option.

Incidentally, this commit fixes an issue with the overriding logic:
multiple --ignore-submodules options would not clear the previously
set flags.

While at it, fix a typo in the documentation for submodule.*.ignore.

Jens Lehmann aee9c7d654 Submodules: Add the new "ignore" config option for diff and status
The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.

The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.

Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.

This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):

"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.

"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
	the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
	to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
	value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
	all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.

"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
	a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
	as modified.

"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
	submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
	and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
	as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
	"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
	so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

Change the option parsing logic in revision.c to accept separate forms
like `-S foo' in addition to `-Sfoo'. The rest of git already accepted
this form, but revision.c still used its own option parsing.

Short options affected are -S<string>, -l<num> and -O<orderfile>, for
which an empty string wouldn't make sense, hence -<option> <arg> isn't
ambiguous.

This patch does not handle --stat-name-width and --stat-width, which are
special-cases where diff_long_opt do not apply. They are handled in a
separate patch to ease review.

Jens Lehmann 46a958b3da Add the option "--ignore-submodules" to "git status"
In some use cases it is not desirable that "git status" considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.

Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree (this was the behavior before
1.7.0). An example for that are scripts which just want to check for
submodule commits while ignoring any changes to the work tree. Also users
having large submodules known not to change might want to use this option,
as the - sometimes substantial - time it takes to scan the submodule work
tree(s) is saved when using the "dirty" parameter.

And if you want to ignore any changes to submodules, you can now do that
by using this option without parameters or with "all" (when the config
option status.submodulesummary is set, using "all" will also suppress the
output of the submodule summary).

A new function handle_ignore_submodules_arg() is introduced to parse this
option new to "git status" in a single location, as "git diff" already
knew it.

Bo Yang 4297c0aeb5 Make --color-words work well with --graph
'--color-words' algorithm can be described as:

  1. collect a the minus/plus lines of a diff hunk, divided into
     minus-lines and plus-lines;

  2. break both minus-lines and plus-lines into words and
     place them into two mmfile_t with one word for each line;

  3. use xdiff to run diff on the two mmfile_t to get the words level diff;

And for the common parts of the both file, we output the plus side text.
diff_words->current_plus is used to trace the current position of the plus file
which printed. diff_words->last_minus is used to trace the last minus word
printed.

For '--graph' to work with '--color-words', we need to output the graph prefix
on each line of color words output. Generally, there are two conditions on
which we should output the prefix.

  1. diff_words->last_minus == 0 &&
     diff_words->current_plus == diff_words->plus.text.ptr

     that is: the plus text must start as a new line, and if there is no minus
     word printed, a graph prefix must be printed.

  2. diff_words->current_plus > diff_words->plus.text.ptr &&
     *(diff_words->current_plus - 1) == '\n'

     that is: a graph prefix must be printed following a '\n'

In the metainfo section of git diffs there's an "index" line providing
abbreviated (unless --full-index is used) blob SHA1s from the
pre-/post-images used to generate the diff. These provide hints that
can be used to reconstruct a 3-way merge when applying the patch
(see the --3way option to 'git am' for more details).

In order for this to work, however, the blob SHA1s must not be
abbreviated into ambiguity.

This patch eliminates the possible ambiguity by using find_unique_abbrev()
to produce the abbreviated SHA1s (instead of blind abbreviation by way of
"%.*s").

Bert Wesarg 374664478f diff: fix coloring of extended diff headers
Coloring the extended headers where done as a whole not per line. less with
option -R (which is the default from git) does not support this coloring
mode because of performance reasons. The -r option would be an alternative
but has problems with lines that are longer than the screen. Therefore
stick to the idiom to color each line separately. The problem is, that the
result of ill_metainfo() will also be used as an parameter to an external
diff driver, so we need to disable coloring in this case.

Because coloring is now done inside fill_metainfo() we can simply add this
string to the diff header and therefore keep the last newline in the
extended header. This results also into the fact that the external diff
driver now gets this last newline too. Which is a change in behavior
but a good one.

second diffcore_std will degrade a 'C' pair to a 'R' pair.

And this may happen when we run 'git log --follow' with
hard copies finding. That is, the try_to_follow_renames()
will run diffcore_std to find the copies, and then
'git log' will issue another diffcore_std, which will reduce
'src->rename_used' and recognize this copy as a rename.
This is not what we want.

So, I think we really don't need to run diffcore_std more
than one time.

René Scharfe dfea79004c remove ecb parameter from xdi_diff_outf()
xdi_diff_outf() overrides the structure members of its last parameter,
ignoring any value that callers pass in.  It's no surprise then that all
callers pass a pointer to an uninitialized structure.  They also don't
read it after the call, so the parameter is neither used for input nor
for output.   Turn it into a local variable of xdi_diff_outf().

René Scharfe 582aa00bdf git diff too slow for a file
Ever since the xdiff library had been introduced to git, all its callers
have used the flag XDF_NEED_MINIMAL.  It makes sure that the smallest
possible diff is produced, but that takes quite some time if there are
lots of differences that can be expressed in multiple ways.

This flag makes a difference for only 0.1% of the non-merge commits in
the git repo of Linux, both in terms of diff size and execution time.
The patches there are mostly nice and small.

SungHyun Nam however reported a case in a different repo where a diff
took more than 20 times longer to generate with XDF_NEED_MINIMAL than
without.  Rebasing became really slow.

This patch removes this flag from all callers.  The default of xdiff is
saner because it has minimal to no impact in the normal case of small
diffs and doesn't incur that much of a speed penalty for large ones.

A follow-up patch may introduce a command line option to set the flag if
the user needs it, similar to GNU diff's -d/--minimal.

Jeff King 0974c117ff diff: use large integers for diffstat calculations
The diffstat "added" and "changed" fields generally store
line counts; however, for binary files, they store file
sizes. Since we store and print these values as ints, a
diffstat on a file larger than 2G can show a negative size.
Instead, let's use uintmax_t, which should be at least 64
bits on modern platforms.

Thomas Rast 882749a04f diff: add --word-diff option that generalizes --color-words
This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:

* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
  'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}

* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
  format:
  - each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
    in unified diff
  - newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
    tilde '~'

Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences.  --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format.  Also adds some
compatibility/convenience options.

Thanks to Junio C Hamano and Miles Bader for good ideas.
