treewide: be explicit about dependence on gettext.h

2023-03-21T17:56:51Z

Dozens of files made use of gettext functions, without explicitly including gettext.h. This made it more difficult to find which files could remove a dependence on cache.h. Make C files explicitly include gettext.h if they are using it. However, while compat/fsmonitor/fsm-ipc-darwin.c should also gain an include of gettext.h, it was left out to avoid conflicting with an in-flight topic.

diff: factor out add_diff_options()

2022-12-01T23:25:29Z

Add a function for appending the parseopts member of struct diff_options to a struct option array. Use it in two sites instead of accessing the parseopts member directly. Decoupling callers from diff internals like that allows us to change the latter. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

range-diff: optionally accept pathspecs

2022-08-26T16:49:26Z

The `git range-diff` command can be quite expensive, which is not a surprise given that the underlying algorithm to match up pairs of commits between the provided two commit ranges has a cubic runtime. Therefore it makes sense to restrict the commit ranges as much as possible, to reduce the amount of input to that O(N^3) algorithm. In chatty repositories with wide trees, this is not necessarily possible merely by choosing commit ranges wisely. Let's give users another option to restrict the commit ranges: by providing a pathspec. That helps in repositories with wide trees because it is likely that the user has a good idea which subset of the tree they are actually interested in. Example: git range-diff upstream/main upstream/seen HEAD -- range-diff.c This shows commits that are either in the local branch or in `seen`, but not in `main`, skipping all commits that do not touch `range-diff.c`. Note: Since we piggy-back the pathspecs onto the `other_arg` mechanism that was introduced to be able to pass through the `--notes` option to the revision machinery, we must now ensure that the `other_arg` array is appended at the end (the revision range must come before the pathspecs, if any).

range-diff: consistently validate the arguments

2022-08-26T16:49:25Z

This patch lets `range-diff` validate the arguments not only when invoked with one or two arguments, but also in the code path where three arguments are handled. While at it, we now use `usage_msg_opt*()` consistently. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

range-diff: reorder argument handling

2022-08-26T16:49:23Z

In d9c66f0b5bf (range-diff: first rudimentary implementation, 2018-08-13), we introduced the argument handling of the `range-diff` command, special-casing three different stanzas based on the argument count. The somewhat unorthodox order (first handling the case of 2 arguments, then 3, then 1) was chosen for clarity: the natural argument number is 2 because that is how many revision ranges are used internally. The code to handle three arguments is relatively trivial, so it was added next. And finally, the code to ungarble a single symmetric range into two separate ones was added, because it was the most complicated (the most inelegant part being about interpreting empty sides of the symmetric range as `HEAD`). In preparation for allowing pathspecs in `git range-diff` invocations, where we no longer have the luxury of using the number of arguments to disambiguate between these three different ways to specify the commit ranges, we need to order these cases by argument count, in descending order. This patch is best viewed with `--color-moved`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

column, range-diff: downcase option description

2021-03-29T21:06:08Z

It is customary not to begin the help text for each option given to the parse-options API with a capital letter. Various (sub)commands' option arrays don't follow the guideline provided by the parse_options Documentation regarding the descriptions. Downcase the first word of some option descriptions for "column" and "range-diff". Signed-off-by: Chinmoy Chakraborty Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'js/range-diff-one-side-only'

2021-02-18T01:21:41Z

The "git range-diff" command learned "--(left|right)-only" option to show only one side of the compared range. * js/range-diff-one-side-only: range-diff: offer --left-only/--right-only options range-diff: move the diffopt initialization down one layer range-diff: combine all options in a single data structure range-diff: simplify code spawning `git log` range-diff: libify the read_patches() function again range-diff: avoid leaking memory in two error code paths
