builtin/diff-index: learn --merge-base

2020-09-21T04:30:26Z

There is currently no easy way to take the diff between the working tree or index and the merge base between an arbitrary commit and HEAD. Even diff's `...` notation doesn't allow this because it only works between commits. However, the ability to do this would be desirable to a user who would like to see all the changes they've made on a branch plus uncommitted changes without taking into account changes made in the upstream branch. Teach diff-index and diff (with one commit) the --merge-base option which allows a user to use the merge base of a commit and HEAD as the "before" side.

diff-lib: accept option flags in run_diff_index()

2020-09-21T04:30:26Z

In a future commit, we will teach run_diff_index() to accept more options via flag bits. For now, change `cached` into a flag in the `option` bitfield. The behaviour should remain exactly the same. Signed-off-by: Denton Liu Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cache.h: flip NO_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS switch

2019-01-24T19:55:06Z

By default, index compat macros are off from now on, because they could hide the_index dependency. Only those in builtin can use it. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

revision.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index

Merge branch 'ma/builtin-unleak'

2017-10-07T07:27:55Z

Many variables that points at a region of memory that will live throughout the life of the program have been marked with UNLEAK marker to help the leak checkers concentrate on real leaks.. * ma/builtin-unleak: builtin/: add UNLEAKs

builtin/: add UNLEAKs

2017-10-02T04:03:10Z

Add some UNLEAKs where we are about to return from `cmd_*`. UNLEAK the variables in the same order as we've declared them. While addressing `msg` in builtin/tag.c, convert the existing `strbuf_release()` calls as well. Signed-off-by: Martin Ågren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

submodule: remove gitmodules_config

2017-08-03T20:11:02Z

Now that the submodule-config subsystem can lazily read the gitmodules file we no longer need to explicitly pre-read the gitmodules by calling 'gitmodules_config()' so let's remove it. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'bw/config-h'

2017-06-24T21:28:41Z

Fix configuration codepath to pay proper attention to commondir that is used in multi-worktree situation, and isolate config API into its own header file. * bw/config-h: config: don't implicitly use gitdir or commondir config: respect commondir setup: teach discover_git_directory to respect the commondir config: don't include config.h by default config: remove git_config_iter config: create config.h

Merge branch 'jk/consistent-h'

2017-06-19T19:38:45Z

"git $cmd -h" for builtin commands calls the implementation of the command (i.e. cmd_$cmd() function) without doing any repository set-up, and the commands that expect RUN_SETUP is done by the Git potty needs to be prepared to show the help text without barfing. * jk/consistent-h: t0012: test "-h" with builtins git: add hidden --list-builtins option version: convert to parse-options diff- and log- family: handle "git cmd -h" early submodule--helper: show usage for "-h" remote-{ext,fd}: print usage message on invalid arguments upload-archive: handle "-h" option early credential: handle invalid arguments earlier

config: don't include config.h by default

2017-06-15T19:56:22Z

Stop including config.h by default in cache.h. Instead only include config.h in those files which require use of the config system. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
