patch-id: make it stable against hunk reordering

2014-06-10T20:09:24Z

Patch id changes if users reorder file diffs that make up a patch. As the result is functionally equivalent, a different patch id is surprising to many users. In particular, reordering files using diff -O is helpful to make patches more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff). Add an option to change patch-id behaviour making it stable against these kinds of patch change: calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately and sum all hashes (using a symmetrical sum) to get patch id We use a 20byte sum and not xor - since xor would give 0 output for patches that have two identical diffs, which isn't all that unlikely (e.g. append the same line in two places). The new behaviour is enabled - when patchid.stable is true - when --stable flag is present Using a new flag --unstable or setting patchid.stable to false force the historical behaviour. In the documentation, clarify that patch ID can now be a sum of hashes, not a hash. Document how command line and config options affect the behaviour. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

patch-id.c: use strbuf instead of a fixed buffer

2011-09-22T16:35:07Z

get_one_patchid() uses a rather dumb heuristic to determine if the passed buffer is part of the next commit. Whenever the first 40 bytes are a valid hexadecimal sha1 representation, get_one_patchid() returns next_sha1. Once the current line is longer than the fixed buffer, this will break (provided the additional bytes make a valid hexadecimal sha1). As a result patch-id returns incorrect results. Instead, use strbuf and read one line at a time. Helped-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Michael Schubert Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix sparse warnings

2011-03-22T17:16:54Z

Fix warnings from 'make check'. - These files don't include 'builtin.h' causing sparse to complain that cmd_* isn't declared: builtin/clone.c:364, builtin/fetch-pack.c:797, builtin/fmt-merge-msg.c:34, builtin/hash-object.c:78, builtin/merge-index.c:69, builtin/merge-recursive.c:22 builtin/merge-tree.c:341, builtin/mktag.c:156, builtin/notes.c:426 builtin/notes.c:822, builtin/pack-redundant.c:596, builtin/pack-refs.c:10, builtin/patch-id.c:60, builtin/patch-id.c:149, builtin/remote.c:1512, builtin/remote-ext.c:240, builtin/remote-fd.c:53, builtin/reset.c:236, builtin/send-pack.c:384, builtin/unpack-file.c:25, builtin/var.c:75 - These files have symbols which should be marked static since they're only file scope: submodule.c:12, diff.c:631, replace_object.c:92, submodule.c:13, submodule.c:14, trace.c:78, transport.c:195, transport-helper.c:79, unpack-trees.c:19, url.c:3, url.c:18, url.c:104, url.c:117, url.c:123, url.c:129, url.c:136, thread-utils.c:21, thread-utils.c:48 - These files redeclare symbols to be different types: builtin/index-pack.c:210, parse-options.c:564, parse-options.c:571, usage.c:49, usage.c:58, usage.c:63, usage.c:72 - These files use a literal integer 0 when they really should use a NULL pointer: daemon.c:663, fast-import.c:2942, imap-send.c:1072, notes-merge.c:362 While we're in the area, clean up some unused #includes in builtin files (mostly exec_cmd.h).

git-patch-id: do not trip over "no newline" markers

2011-02-17T19:56:50Z

Currently, patch-id trips over our very own diff extension for marking the absence of newline at EOF. Fix it. (Ignore it, it's whitespace.) Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

patch-id: Add support for mbox format

2010-04-19T20:01:49Z

I have an alias that takes two arguments and compares their patch IDs. I would like to use to make sure I've tested exactly what I submit (patch by patch), like git patch-cmp origin/master.. file-being-sent However, I cannot do that because git patch-id is fooled by the "-- " trailer that git format-patch puts, or likely by the MIME boundary. This patch adds hunk parsing logic to git patch-id in order to detect an out of place "-" line and split the patch when it comes. In addition, commit ids in the "From " lines are considered and printed in the output. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

patch-id: extract parsing one diff out of generate_id_list

2010-04-19T20:01:46Z

This simplifies a bit the next patch, since it will have more than one condition to exit the loop. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory

2010-02-22T22:29:41Z

This shrinks the top-level directory a bit, and makes it much more pleasant to use auto-completion on the thing. Instead of [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil Display all 180 possibilities? (y or n) [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-sh builtin-shortlog.c builtin-show-branch.c builtin-show-ref.c builtin-shortlog.o builtin-show-branch.o builtin-show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shor builtin-shortlog.c builtin-shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin-shortlog.c you get [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em buil [type] builtin/ builtin.h [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sh [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o show-branch.c show-branch.o show-ref.c show-ref.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/sho [auto-completes to] [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shor [type] shortlog.c shortlog.o [torvalds@nehalem git]$ em builtin/shortlog.c which doesn't seem all that different, but not having that annoying break in "Display all 180 possibilities?" is quite a relief. NOTE! If you do this in a clean tree (no object files etc), or using an editor that has auto-completion rules that ignores '*.o' files, you won't see that annoying 'Display all 180 possibilities?' message - it will just show the choices instead. I think bash has some cut-off around 100 choices or something. So the reason I see this is that I'm using an odd editory, and thus don't have the rules to cut down on auto-completion. But you can simulate that by using 'ls' instead, or something similar. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
