"git {diff,log} --{skip,rotate}-to=" allows the user to discard diff output for early paths or move them to the end of the output. * jc/diffcore-rotate: diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=

In the implementation of "git difftool", there is a case where the user wants to start viewing the diffs at a specific path and continue on to the rest, optionally wrapping around to the beginning. Since it is somewhat cumbersome to implement such a feature as a post-processing step of "git diff" output, let's support it internally with two new options. - "git diff --rotate-to=C", when the resulting patch would show paths A B C D E without the option, would "rotate" the paths to shows patch to C D E A B instead. It is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git diff --skip-to=C" would instead "skip" the paths before C, and shows patch to C D E. Again, it is an error when there is no patch for C is shown. - "git log [-p]" also accepts these two options, but it is not an error if there is no change to the specified path. Instead, the set of output paths are rotated or skipped to the specified path or the first path that sorts after the specified path. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'tb/precompose-prefix-too'

2021-02-12T22:21:04Z

When commands are started from a subdirectory, they may have to compare the path to the subdirectory (called prefix and found out from $(pwd)) with the tracked paths. On macOS, $(pwd) and readdir() yield decomposed path, while the tracked paths are usually normalized to the precomposed form, causing mismatch. This has been fixed by taking the same approach used to normalize the command line arguments. * tb/precompose-prefix-too: MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()

MacOS: precompose_argv_prefix()

2021-02-03T22:09:37Z

The following sequence leads to a "BUG" assertion running under MacOS: DIR=git-test-restore-p Adiarnfd=$(printf 'A\314\210') DIRNAME=xx${Adiarnfd}yy mkdir $DIR && cd $DIR && git init && mkdir $DIRNAME && cd $DIRNAME && echo "Initial" >file && git add file && echo "One more line" >>file && echo y | git restore -p . Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/git-test-restore-p/.git/ BUG: pathspec.c:495: error initializing pathspec_item Cannot close git diff-index --cached --numstat [snip] The command `git restore` is run from a directory inside a Git repo. Git needs to split the $CWD into 2 parts: The path to the repo and "the rest", if any. "The rest" becomes a "prefix" later used inside the pathspec code. As an example, "/path/to/repo/dir-inside-repå" would determine "/path/to/repo" as the root of the repo, the place where the configuration file .git/config is found. The rest becomes the prefix ("dir-inside-repå"), from where the pathspec machinery expands the ".", more about this later. If there is a decomposed form, (making the decomposing visible like this), "dir-inside-rep°a" doesn't match "dir-inside-repå". Git commands need to: (a) read the configuration variable "core.precomposeunicode" (b) precocompose argv[] (c) precompose the prefix, if there was any The first commit, 76759c7dff53 "git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode" addressed (a) and (b). The call to precompose_argv() was added into parse-options.c, because that seemed to be a good place when the patch was written. Commands that don't use parse-options need to do (a) and (b) themselfs. The commands `diff-files`, `diff-index`, `diff-tree` and `diff` learned (a) and (b) in commit 90a78b83e0b8 "diff: run arguments through precompose_argv" Branch names (or refs in general) using decomposed code points resulting in decomposed file names had been fixed in commit 8e712ef6fc97 "Honor core.precomposeUnicode in more places" The bug report from above shows 2 things: - more commands need to handle precomposed unicode - (c) should be implemented for all commands using pathspecs Solution: precompose_argv() now handles the prefix (if needed), and is renamed into precompose_argv_prefix(). Inside this function the config variable core.precomposeunicode is read into the global variable precomposed_unicode, as before. This reading is skipped if precomposed_unicode had been read before. The original patch for preocomposed unicode, 76759c7dff53, placed precompose_argv() into parse-options.c Now add it into git.c::run_builtin() as well. Existing precompose calls in diff-files.c and others may become redundant, and if we audit the callflows that reach these places to make sure that they can never be reached without going through the new call added to run_builtin(), we might be able to remove these existing ones. But in this commit, we do not bother to do so and leave these precompose callsites as they are. Because precompose() is idempotent and can be called on an already precomposed string safely, this is safer than removing existing calls without fully vetting the callflows. There is certainly room for cleanups - this change intends to be a bug fix. Cleanups needs more tests in e.g. t/t3910-mac-os-precompose.sh, and should be done in future commits.

diff-files: treat "i-t-a" files as "not-in-index"

2020-06-22T17:46:45Z

The `diff-files' command and related commands which call the function `cmd_diff_files()', consider the "intent-to-add" files as a part of the index when comparing the work-tree against it. This was previously addressed in commits [1] and [2] by turning the option `--ita-invisible-in-index' (introduced in [3]) on by default. For `diff-files' (and `add -p' as a consequence) to show the i-t-a files as as new, `ita_invisible_in_index' will be enabled by default here as well.
