This adds correct support for an equivalent to --ignore-submodules
in diff, where an actual ignore value can be passed to diff to
override the per submodule settings in the configuration.
This required tweaking the constants for ignore values so that
zero would not be used and could represent an unset option to the
diff. This was an opportunity to move the submodule values into
include/git2/types.h and to rename the poorly named DEFAULT values
for ignore and update constants to RESET instead.
Now the GIT_DIFF_IGNORE_SUBMODULES flag is exactly the same as
setting the ignore_submodules option to GIT_SUBMODULE_IGNORE_ALL
(which is actually a minor change from the old behavior in that
submodules will now be treated as UNMODIFIED deltas instead of
being left out totally - if you set GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNMODIFIED).
This includes tests for the various new settings.
This adds an additional pathspec API that will match a pathspec
against a diff object. This is convenient if you want to handle
renames (so you need the whole diff and can't use the pathspec
constraint built into the diff API) but still want to tell if the
diff had any files that matched the pathspec.
When the pathspec is matched against a diff, instead of keeping
a list of filenames that matched, instead the API keeps the list
of git_diff_deltas that matched and they can be retrieved via a
new API git_pathspec_match_list_diff_entry.
There are a couple of other minor API extensions here that were
mostly for the sake of convenience and to reduce dependencies
on knowing the internal data structure between files inside the
library.
Fixed a few header @param and @return typos with the help of -Wdocumentation in Xcode.
The following warnings have not been fixed:

This adds parameters to the four functions that allow for blob-to-
blob and blob-to-buffer differencing (either via callbacks or by
making a git_diff_patch object). These parameters let you say
that filename we should pretend the blob has while doing the diff.
If you pass NULL, there should be no change from the existing
behavior, which is to skip using attributes for file type checks
and just look at content. With the parameters, you can plug into
the new diff driver functionality and get binary or non-binary
behavior, plus function context regular expressions, etc.
This commit also fixes things so that the git_diff_delta that is
generated by these functions will actually be populated with the
data that we know about the blobs (or buffers) so you can use it
appropriately. It also fixes a bug in generating patches from
the git_diff_patch objects created via these functions.
Lastly, there is one other behavior change that may matter. If
there is no difference between the two blobs, these functions no
longer generate any diff callbacks / patches unless you have
passed in GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNMODIFIED. This is pretty natural,
but could potentially change the behavior of existing usage.
This adds two new public APIs: git_diff_patch_from_blobs and
git_diff_patch_from_blob_and_buffer, plus it refactors the code
for git_diff_blobs and git_diff_blob_to_buffer so that they code
is almost entirely shared between these APIs, and adds tests for
the new APIs.
This implements the loading of regular expression pattern lists
for diff drivers that search for function context in that way.
This also changes the way that diff drivers update options and
interface with xdiff APIs to make them a little more flexible.
This improves the docs for GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNTRACKED_CONTENT as
well as the other flags related to UNTRACKED items in diff, plus
it makes that flag now automatically turn on
GIT_DIFF_INCLUDE_UNTRACKED which seems like a reasonable dwim type
of change.
This adds a couple more tests of different rename scenarios.
Also, this fixes a problem with the case where you have two
"split" deltas and the left half of one matches the right half of
the other. That case was already being handled, but in the wrong
order in a way that could result in bad output. Also, if the swap
also happened to put the other two halves into the correct place
(i.e. two files exchanged places with each other), then the second
delta was left with the SPLIT flag set when it really should be
cleared.
This flips rename detection around so instead of creating a
forward mapping from deltas to possible rename targets, instead
it creates a reverse mapping, looking at possible targets and
trying to find a source that they could have been renamed or
copied from. This is important because each output can only
have a single source, but a given source could map to multiple
outputs (in the form of COPIED records).
Additionally, this makes a couple of tweaks to the public rename
detection APIs, mostly renaming a couple of options that control
the behavior to make more sense and to be more like core Git.
I walked through the tests looking at the exact results and
updated the expectations based on what I saw. The new code is
different from the old because it cannot give some nonsense
results (like A was renamed to both B and C) which were part of
the outputs previously.
- Add new GIT_DIFF_FIND_EXACT_MATCH_ONLY flag to do similarity
matching without using the similarity metric (i.e. only compare
the SHA).
- Clean up the similarity measurement code to more rigorously
distinguish between files that are not similar and files that
are not comparable (previously, a 0 could either mean that the
files could not be compared or that they were totally different)
- When splitting a MODIFIED file into a DELETE/ADD pair, actually
make a DELETED/UNTRACKED pair if the right side of the diff is
from the working directory. This prevents an odd mix of ADDED
and UNTRACKED files on workdir diffs.
There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were
obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with
more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready
to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.)
This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the
public API slightly to make emulating core git easier.
Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES
flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to
every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified
deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw
output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and
D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that.
Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we
don't need values out of that range.
Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of
small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide
if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger
issues about which files can and should be compared and how the
various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated.
Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to
be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct
behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier
to follow..
This adds a new line origin constant for the special line that
is used when both files end without a newline.
In the course of writing the tests for this, I was having problems
with modifying a file but not having diff notice because it was
the same size and modified less than one second from the start of
the test, so I decided to start working on nanosecond timestamp
support. This commit doesn't contain the nanosecond support, but
it contains the reorganization of maybe_modified and the hooks so
that if the nanosecond data were being read by stat() (or rather
being copied by git_index_entry__init_from_stat), then the nsec
would be taken into account.
This new stuff could probably use some more tests, although there
is some amount of it here.
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.
