When diff encounters an untracked directory, there was a shortcut
that it took which is not compatible with core git. This makes
the default behavior no longer take that shortcut and instead look
inside the untracked directory to see if there are any untracked
files within it. If there are not, then the directory is treated
as an ignore directory instead of an untracked directory. This
has implications for the git_status APIs.
This implements working versions of GIT_DIFF_RECURSE_IGNORED_DIRS
and GIT_STATUS_OPT_RECURSE_IGNORED_DIRS along with some tests for
the newly available behaviors. This is not turned on by default
for status, but can be accessed via the options to the extended
version of the command.
Previously, 0 meant default. This is problematic, as asking for 0
context lines is a valid thing to do.
Change GIT_DIFF_OPTIONS_INIT to default to three and stop treating 0
as a magic value. In case no options are provided, make sure the
options in the diff object default to 3.
This adds some new tests that actually exercise the similarity
metric between files to detect renames, copies, and split modified
files that are too heavily modified.
There is still more testing to do - these tests are just partially
covering the cases.
There is also one bug fix in this where a change set with only
MODIFY being broken into ADD/DELETE (due to low self-similarity)
without any additional RENAMED entries would end up not processing
the split requests (because the num_rewrites counter got reset).
This is the initial integration of the similarity metric into
the `git_diff_find_similar()` code path. The existing tests all
pass, but the new functionality isn't currently well tested. The
integration does go through the pluggable metric interface, so it
should be possible to drop in an alternative to the internal
metric that libgit2 implements.
This comes along with a behavior change for an existing interface;
namely, passing two NULLs to git_diff_blobs (or passing NULLs to
git_diff_blob_to_buffer) will now call the file_cb parameter zero
times instead of one time. I know it's strange that that change
is paired with this other change, but it emerged from some
initialization changes that I ended up making.
Previously the git_diff_delta recorded if the delta was binary.
This replaces that (with no net change in structure size) with
a full set of flags. The flag values that were already in use
for individual git_diff_file objects are reused for the delta
flags, too (along with renaming those flags to make it clear that
they are used more generally).
This (a) makes things somewhat more consistent (because I was
using a -1 value in the "boolean" binary field to indicate unset,
whereas now I can just use the flags that are easier to understand),
and (b) will make it easier for me to add some additional flags to
the delta object in the future, such as marking the results of a
copy/rename detection or other deltas that might want a special
indicator.
While making this change, I officially moved some of the flags that
were internal only into the private diff header.
This also allowed me to remove a gross hack in rename/copy detect
code where I was overwriting the status field with an internal
value.
This plugs in the three basic similarity strategies for handling
whitespace via internal use of the pluggable API. In so doing, I
realized that the use of git_buf in the hashsig API was not needed
and actually just made it harder to use, so I tweaked that API as
well.
Note that the similarity metric is still not hooked up in the
find_similarity code - this is just setting out the function that
will be used.
The callback will be called for each file, just before the `git_delta_t` gets inserted into the diff list.
When the callback:
- returns < 0, the diff process will be aborted
- returns > 0, the delta will not be inserted into the diff list, but the diff process continues
- returns 0, the delta is inserted into the diff list, and the diff process continues
This adds a `git_diff_patch_line_stats()` API that gets the total
number of adds, deletes, and context lines in a patch. This will
make it a little easier to emulate `git diff --stat` and the like.
Right now, this relies on generating the `git_diff_patch` object,
which is a pretty heavyweight way to get stat information. At
some future point, it would probably be nice to be able to get
this information without allocating the entire `git_diff_patch`,
but that's a much larger project.
This moves the implementation of these two APIs into common code
that will be shared between the two. Also, this adds tests for
the `git_diff_blob_to_buffer` API. Lastly, this adds some extra
`const` to a few places that can use it.
The diff constructor functions had some confusing names, where the
"old" side of the diff was coming after the "new" side. This
reverses the order in the function name to make it less confusing.
Specifically...
* git_diff_index_to_tree becomes git_diff_tree_to_index
* git_diff_workdir_to_index becomes git_diff_index_to_workdir
* git_diff_workdir_to_tree becomes git_diff_tree_to_workdir
This makes the diff functions that take callbacks both take
the payload parameter after the callback function pointers and
pass the payload as the last argument to the callback function
instead of the first. This should make them consistent with
other callbacks across the API.
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.
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 adds a `git_diff_patch_print()` API which is more like the
existing API to "print" a patch from an entire `git_diff_list`
but operates on a single `git_diff_patch` object.
Also, it rewrites the `git_diff_patch_to_str()` API to use that
function (making it very small).
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.
This is just some cleanup code, rearranging some of the checkout
code where TYPECHANGE support was added and adding some comments
to the diff header regarding the constants.
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.
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.
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.
In the process of adding tests for the max file size threshold
(which treats files over a certain size as binary) there seem to
be a number of problems in the new code with detecting binaries.
This should fix those up, as well as add a test for the file
size threshold stuff.
Also, this un-deprecates `GIT_DIFF_LINE_ADD_EOFNL`, since I
finally found a legitimate situation where it would be returned.
This commit adds a max_size value in the public `git_diff_options`
structure so that the user can automatically flag blobs over a
certain size as binary regardless of other properties.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, this moves binary detection
to be as early as possible in the diff traversal inner loop and
makes sure that we stop loading objects as soon as we decide that
they are binary.
The `git_diff_iterator_num_files` API was problematic, since we
don't actually know the exact number of files to be iterated over
until we load those files into memory. This replaces it with a
new `git_diff_iterator_progress` API that goes from 0 to 1, and
moves and renamed the old API for the internal places that can
tolerate a max value instead of an exact value.
