A number of diff APIs and the `git_checkout_index` API take a
`git_repository` object an operate on the index. This updates
them to take a `git_index` pointer explicitly and only fall back
on the `git_repository` index if the index input is NULL. This
makes it easier to operate on a temporary index.
The index iterator could previously only be created from a repo
object, but this allows creating an iterator from a `git_index`
object instead (while keeping, though renaming, the old function).
This fixes a number of warnings and problems with cross-platform
builds. Among other things, it's not safe to name a member of a
structure "strcmp" because that may be #defined.
There are some diff functions that are useful in a rewritten
checkout and this lays some groundwork for that. This contains
three main things:
1. Share the function diff uses to calculate the OID for a file
in the working directory (now named `git_diff__oid_for_file`
2. Add a `git_diff__paired_foreach` function to iterator over
two diff lists concurrently. Convert status to use it.
3. Move all the string/prefix/index entry comparisons into
function pointers inside the `git_diff_list` object so they
can be switched between case sensitive and insensitive
versions. This makes them easier to reuse in various
functions without replicating logic. As part of this, move
a couple of index functions out of diff.c and into index.c.
Diff uses a `git_strarray` of path specs to represent a subset
of all files to be processed. It is useful to be able to reuse
this filtering in other places outside diff, so I've moved it
into a standalone set of utilities.
This improves the naming for the rename related functionality
moving it to be called `git_diff_find_similar()` and renaming
all the associated constants, etc. to make more sense.
I also moved the new code (plus the existing `git_diff_merge`)
into a new file `diff_tform.c` where I can put new functions
related to manipulating git diff lists.
This also updates the implementation significantly from the
last revision fixing some ordering issues (where break-rewrite
needs to be handled prior to copy and rename detection) and
improving config option handling.
This implements the basis for diff rename and copy detection,
although it is based on simple SHA comparison right now instead
of using a matching algortihm. Just as `git_diff_merge` can be
used as a post-pass on diffs to emulate certain command line
behaviors, there is a new API `git_diff_detect` which will
update a diff list in-place, adjusting some deltas to RENAMED
or COPIED state (and also, eventually, splitting MODIFIED deltas
where the change is too large into DELETED/ADDED pairs).
This also adds a new test repo that will hold rename/copy/split
scenarios. Right now, it just has exact-match rename and copy,
but the tests are written to use tree diffs, so we should be able
to add new test scenarios easily without breaking tests.
This started as a complex new test for checkout going through the
"typechanges" test repository, but that revealed numerous issues
with checkout, including:
* complete failure with submodules
* failure to create blobs with exec bits
* problems when replacing a tree with a blob because the tree
"example/" sorts after the blob "example" so the delete was
being processed after the single file blob was created
This fixes most of those problems and includes a number of other
minor changes that made it easier to do that, including improving
the TYPECHANGE support in diff/status, etc.
When I wrote the diff code, I based it on core git's diff output
which tends to split a type change into an add and a delete. But
core git's status has the notion of a T (typechange) flag for a
file. This introduces that into our status APIs and modifies the
diff code so it can be forced to not split type changes.
The adds a test for the submodule diff capabilities and then
fixes a few bugs with how the output is generated. It improves
the accuracy of OIDs in the diff delta object and makes the
submodule output more closely mirror the OIDs that will be used
by core git.
There are a few cases where diff should leave directories in
the diff list if we want to match core git, such as when the
directory contains a .git dir. That feature was lost when I
introduced some of the new submodule handling.
This restores that and then fixes a couple of related to diff
output that are triggered by having diffs with directories in
them.
Also, this adds a new flag that can be passed to diff if you
want diff output to actually include the file content of any
untracked files.
We don't have anything useful that we could do with that oid anyway (We
need to query the submodule for the HEAD commit instead).
Without this, the following code creates the error "Failed to read
descriptor: Is a directory" when run against the submod2 test-case:
const char* oidstr = "873585b94bdeabccea991ea5e3ec1a277895b698";
git_tree* tree = resolve_commit_oid_to_tree(g_repo, oidstr);
git_diff_list* diff = NULL;
cl_assert(tree);
cl_git_pass(git_diff_workdir_to_tree(g_repo, NULL, tree, &diff));
1. teach diff.c:maybe_modified to query git_submodule_status for the
modification state of a submodule. According to the
git_submodule_status docs, it will filter for to-ignore states
already.
2. teach diff_output.c:get_workdir_content to check the submodule status
again and create a line like:
Subproject commit <SHA-1>\n
or
Subproject comimt <SHA-1>-dirty\n
like git.git does.
There are a lot of places where the diff API gives the user access
to internal data structures and many of these were being exposed
through non-const pointers. This replaces them all with const
pointers for any object that the user can access but is still
owned internally to the git_diff_list or git_diff_patch objects.
This will probably break some bindings... Sorry!
This fixes all the bugs in the new diff patch code. The only
really interesting one is that when we merge two diffs, we now
have to actually exclude diff delta records that are not supposed
to be tracked, as opposed to before where they could be included
because they would be skipped silently by `git_diff_foreach()`.
Other than that, there are just minor errors.
Replacing the `git_iterator` object, this creates a simple API
for accessing the "patch" for any file pair in a diff list and
then gives indexed access to the hunks in the patch and the lines
in the hunk. This is the initial implementation of this revised
API - it is still broken, but at least builds cleanly.
This adds support to diff and status for running filters (a la crlf)
on blobs in the workdir before computing SHAs and before generating
text diffs. This ended up being a bit more code change than I had
thought since I had to reorganize some of the diff logic to minimize
peak memory use when filtering blobs in a diff.
This also adds a cap on the maximum size of data that will be loaded
to diff. I set it at 512Mb which should match core git. Right now
it is a #define in src/diff.h but it could be moved into the public
API if desired.
This refactors the diff output code so that an iterator object
can be used to traverse and generate the diffs, instead of just
the `foreach()` style with callbacks. The code has been rearranged
so that the two styles can still share most functions.
This also replaces `GIT_REVWALKOVER` with `GIT_ITEROVER` and uses
that as a common error code for marking the end of iteration when
using a iterator style of object.
In looking at PR #878, I found a few small bugs in the diff code,
mostly related to work that can be avoided when processing tree-
to-tree diffs that was always being carried out. This commit has
some small fixes in it.
A diff that is created with a NULL options parameter could result
in a NULL prefix string, but diff merge was unconditionally
strdup'ing it. I added a test to replicate the issue and then a
new method that does the right thing with NULL values.
This fixes git_index_add and git_index_append to behave more like
core git, preserving old filemode data in the index when adding
and/or appending with core.filemode = false.
This also has placeholder support for core.symlinks and
core.ignorecase, but those flags are not implemented (well,
symlinks has partial support for preserving mode information in
the same way that git does, but it isn't tested).
There are three actual changes in this commit:
1. When the trailing newline of a file is removed in a diff, the
change will now be reported with `GIT_DIFF_LINE_DEL_EOFNL` passed
to the callback. Previously, the `ADD_EOFNL` constant was given
which was just an error in my understanding of when the various
circumstances arose. `GIT_DIFF_LINE_ADD_EOFNL` is deprecated and
should never be generated. A new newline is simply an `ADD`.
2. Rewrote the `diff_delta__merge_like_cgit` function that contains
the core logic of the `git_diff_merge` implementation. The new
version doesn't actually have significantly different behavior,
but the logic should be much more obvious, I think.
3. Fixed a bug in `git_diff_merge` where it freed a string pool
while some of the string data was still in use. This led to
`git_diff_print_patch` accessing memory that had been freed.
The rest of this commit contains improved documentation in `diff.h`
to make the behavior and the equivalencies with core git clearer,
and a bunch of new tests to cover the various cases, oh and a minor
simplification of `examples/diff.c`.
File modes were both not being ignored properly on platforms
where they should be ignored, nor be diffed consistently on
platforms where they are supported.
This change adds a number of diff and status filemode change
tests. This also makes sure that filemode-only changes are
included in the diff output when they occur and that filemode
changes are ignored successfully when core.filemode is false.
There is no code that automatically toggles core.filemode
based on the capabilities of the current platform, so the user
still needs to be careful in their .git/config file.
This fixes two bugs:
* Issue #728 where git_status_file was not working for files
that contain spaces. This was caused by reusing the "fnmatch"
parsing code from ignore and attribute files to interpret the
"pathspec" that constrained the files to apply the status to.
In that code, unescaped whitespace was considered terminal to
the pattern, so a file with internal whitespace was excluded
from the matched files. The fix was to add a mode to that code
that allows spaces and tabs inside patterns. This mode only
comes into play when parsing in-memory strings.
* The other issue was undetected, but it was in the recently
added code to reload gitattributes / gitignores when they were
changed on disk. That code was not clearing out the old values
from the cached file content before reparsing which meant that
newly added patterns would be read in, but deleted patterns
would not be removed. The fix was to clear the vector of
patterns in a cached file before reparsing the file.
There was a bug where tracked files inside directories that were
inside ignored directories where not being found by status. To
make that a little clearer, if you have a .gitignore with:
ignore/
And then have the following files:
ignore/dir/tracked <-- actually a tracked file
ignore/dir/untracked <-- should be ignored
Then we would show the tracked file as being removed (because
when we got the to contained item "dir/" inside the ignored
directory, we decided it was safe to skip -- bzzt, wrong!).
This update is much more careful about checking that we are
not skipping over any prefix of a tracked item, regardless of
whether it is ignored or not.
As documented in diff.c, this commit does create behavior that
still differs from core git with regards to the handling of
untracked files contained inside ignored directories. With
libgit2, those files will just not show up in status or diff.
With core git, those files don't show up in status or diff
either *unless* they are explicitly ignored by a .gitignore
pattern in which case they show up as ignored files.
Needless to say, this is a local behavior difference only, so
it should not be important and (to me) the libgit2 behavior
seems more consistent.
The goal of this work is to rewrite git_status_file to use the
same underlying code as git_status_foreach.
This is done in 3 phases:
1. Extend iterators to allow ranged iteration with start and
end prefixes for the range of file names to be covered.
2. Improve diff so that when there is a pathspec and there is
a common non-wildcard prefix of the pathspec, it will use
ranged iterators to minimize excess iteration.
3. Rewrite git_status_file to call git_status_foreach_ext
with a pathspec that covers just the one file being checked.
Since ranged iterators underlie the status & diff implementation,
this is actually fairly efficient. The workdir iterator does
end up loading the contents of all the directories down to the
single file, which should ideally be avoided, but it is pretty
good.
When a repo is first created, there is no HEAD yet and attempting
to diff files in the index was showing nothing because a tree
iterator could not be constructed. This adds an "empty" iterator
and falls back on that when the head cannot be looked up.
This converts the git attr related code (including ignores) and
the git diff related code (and implicitly the status code) to use
`git_pools` for storing strings. This reduces the number of small
blocks allocated dramatically.
