Merge branch 'kb/preload-index-more'

Use preloadindex in more places, which has a nice speedup on systems with slow stat calls (and even on Linux). * kb/preload-index-more: update-index/diff-index: use core.preloadindex to improve performance

update-index/diff-index: use core.preloadindex to improve performance

2012-11-02T15:38:29Z

'update-index --refresh' and 'diff-index' (without --cached) don't honor the core.preloadindex setting yet. Porcelain commands using these (such as git [svn] rebase) suffer from this, especially on Windows. Use read_cache_preload to improve performance. Additionally, in builtin/diff.c, don't preload index status if we don't access the working copy (--cached).

Move setup_diff_pager to libgit.a

2012-10-29T07:08:30Z

This is used by diff-no-index.c, part of libgit.a while it stays in builtin/diff.c. Move it to diff.c so that we won't get undefined reference if a program that uses libgit.a happens to pull it in. While at it, move check_pager from git.c to pager.c. It makes more sense there and pager.c is also part of libgit.a Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Jeff King

"git diff" had a confusion between taking data from a path in the working tree and taking data from an object that happens to have name 0{40} recorded in a tree. * jk/maint-null-in-trees: fsck: detect null sha1 in tree entries do not write null sha1s to on-disk index diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value

diff_setup_done(): return void

2012-08-03T19:11:07Z

diff_setup_done() has historically returned an error code, but lost the last nonzero return in 943d5b7 (allow diff.renamelimit to be set regardless of -M/-C, 2006-08-09). The callers were in a pretty confused state: some actually checked for the return code, and some did not. Let it return void, and patch all callers to take this into account. This conveniently also gets rid of a handful of different(!) error messages that could never be triggered anyway. Note that the function can still die().

diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value

2012-07-29T22:04:32Z

The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when the index is not up-to-date). The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1 directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel value to indicate that it is not. We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree). However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree version of a file instead of treating it as a blob. This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this means passing the flag through several layers, making the code change larger than would be desirable. One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a "--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

fix pager.diff with diff --no-index

2012-06-15T21:27:35Z

git-diff does not rely on the git wrapper to setup its pager; instead, it sets it up on its own after seeing whether --quiet or --exit-code has been specified. After diff_no_index was split off from cmd_diff, commit b3fde6c (git diff --no-index: default to page like other diff frontends, 2008-05-26) duplicated the one-liner from cmd_diff to turn on the pager. Later, commit 8f0359f (Allow pager of diff command be enabled/disabled, 2008-07-21) taught the the version in cmd_diff to respect the pager.diff config, but the version in diff_no_index was left behind. This meant that git -c pager.diff=0 diff a b would not use a pager, but git -c pager.diff=0 diff --no-index a b would. Let's fix it by factoring out a common function. While we're there, let's update the antiquated comment, which claims that the pager interferes with propagating the exit code; this has not been the case since ea27a18 (spawn pager via run_command interface, 2008-07-22).
