cocci: apply "pending" index-compatibility to some "builtin/*.c"

2022-11-21T03:06:15Z

Apply "index-compatibility.pending.cocci" rule to "builtin/*", but exclude those where we conflict with in-flight changes. As a result some of them end up using only "the_index", so let's have them use the more narrow "USE_THE_INDEX_VARIABLE" rather than "USE_THE_INDEX_COMPATIBILITY_MACROS". Manual changes not made by coccinelle, that were squashed in: * Whitespace-wrap argument lists for repo_hold_locked_index(), repo_read_index_preload() and repo_refresh_and_write_index(), in cases where the line became too long after the transformation. * Change "refresh_cache()" to "refresh_index()" in a comment in "builtin/update-index.c". * For those whose call was followed by perror(""), change it to perror(""), referring to the new function.

built-ins: consistently add "\n" between "usage" and options

2022-10-13T16:32:54Z

Change commands in the "diff" family and "rev-list" to separate the usage information and option listing with an empty line. In the case of "git diff -h" we did this already (but let's use a consistent "\n" pattern there), for the rest these are now consistent with how the parse_options() API would emit usage. As we'll see in a subsequent commit this also helps to make the "git -h" output more easily machine-readable, as we can assume that the usage information is separated from the options by an empty line. Note that "COMMON_DIFF_OPTIONS_HELP" starts with a "\n", so the seeming omission of a "\n" here is correct, the second one is provided by the macro.

2.36 gitk/diff-tree --stdin regression fix

2022-04-26T16:26:35Z

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the breakage was already there with us for at least a year. The diff_free() call is to be used after we completely finished with a diffopt structure. After "git diff A B" finishes producing output, calling it before process exit is fine. But there are commands that prepares diff_options struct once, compares two sets of paths, releases resources that were used to do the comparison, then reuses the same diff_option struct to go on to compare the next two sets of paths, like "git log -p". After "git log -p" finishes showing a single commit, calling it before it goes on to the next commit is NOT fine. There is a mechanism, the .no_free member in diff_options struct, to help "git log" to avoid calling diff_free() after showing each commit and instead call it just one. When the mechanism was introduced in e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11), however, we forgot to do the same to "diff-tree --stdin", which *is* a moral equivalent to "git log". During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the pathspec in diff_free(), so programs like gitk that runs git diff-tree --stdin -- downstream of a pipe, processing one commit after another, started showing irrelevant comparison outside the given from the second commit. The same commit, by forgetting to teach the .no_free mechanism, broke "diff-tree --stdin -I" and nobody noticed it for over a year, presumably because it is so seldom used an option. But is a different story. The breakage was very prominently visible and was reported immediately after 2.36 was released. Fix this breakage by mimicking how "git log" utilizes the .no_free member so that "diff-tree --stdin" behaves more similarly to "log". Protect the fix with a few new tests.

Merge branch 'jc/diffcore-rotate'

diff: --{rotate,skip}-to=

2021-02-16T17:30:42Z

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

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.

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

2020-09-21T20:37:03Z

The previous commit introduced ---merge-base a way to take the diff between the working tree or index and the merge base between an arbitrary commit and HEAD. It makes sense to extend this option to support the case where two commits are given too and behave in a manner identical to `git diff A...B`. Introduce the --merge-base flag as an alternative to triple-dot notation. Thus, we would be able to write the above as `git diff --merge-base A B`.

diff-tree.c: load notes machinery when required

2020-04-21T01:22:54Z

Since its introduction in 7249e91 (revision.c: support --notes command-line option, 2011-03-29), combining '--notes' with any option that causes us to format notes (e.g., '--pretty', '--format="%N"', etc) results in a failed assertion at runtime. $ git rev-list HEAD | git diff-tree --stdin --pretty=medium --notes commit 8f3d9f354286745c751374f5f1fcafee6b3f3136 git: notes.c:1308: format_display_notes: Assertion `display_notes_trees' failed. Aborted This failure is due to diff-tree not calling 'load_display_notes' to initialize the notes machinery. Ordinarily, this failure isn't triggered, because it requires passing both '--notes' and another of the above mentioned options. In the case of '--pretty', for example, we set 'opt->verbose_header', causing 'show_log()' to eventually call 'format_display_notes()', which expects a non-NULL 'display_note_trees'. Without initializing the notes machinery, 'display_note_trees' remains NULL, and thus triggers an assertion failure. Fix this by initializing the notes machinery after parsing our options, and harden this behavior against regression with a test in t4013. (Note that the added ref in this test requires updating two unrelated tests which use 'log --all', and thus need to learn about the new refs).
