"git add/etc -p" now honor the diff.context configuration variable, and also they learn to honor the -U command-line option. * lm/add-p-context: add-patch: add diff.context command line overrides add-patch: respect diff.context configuration t: use test_config in t4055 t: use test_grep in t3701 and t4055

add-patch: add diff.context command line overrides

2025-07-29T15:52:45Z

This patch compliments the previous commit, where builtins that use add-patch infrastructure now respect diff.context and diff.interHunkContext file configurations. In particular, this patch helps users who don't want to set persistent context configurations or just want a way to override them on a one-time basis, by allowing the relevant builtins to accept corresponding command line options that override the file configurations. This mimics commands such as diff and log, which allow for both context file configuration and command line overrides. Signed-off-by: Leon Michalak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

commit: convert pop_most_recent_commit() to prio_queue

2025-07-22T14:28:23Z

pop_most_recent_commit() calls commit_list_insert_by_date() for parent commits, which is itself called in a loop. This can lead to quadratic complexity if there are many merges. Replace the commit_list with a prio_queue to ensure logarithmic worst case complexity and convert all three users. Add a performance test that exercises one of them using a pathological history that consists of 50% merges and 50% root commits to demonstrate the speedup: Test v2.50.1 HEAD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1501.2: rev-parse ':/65535' 2.48(2.47+0.00) 0.20(0.19+0.00) -91.9% Alas, sane histories don't benefit from the conversion much, and traversing Git's own history takes a 1% performance hit on my machine: $ hyperfine -w3 -L git ./git_2.50.1,./git '{git} rev-parse :/^Initial.revision' Benchmark 1: ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.071 s ± 0.004 s [User: 1.052 s, System: 0.017 s] Range (min … max): 1.067 s … 1.078 s 10 runs Benchmark 2: ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Time (mean ± σ): 1.079 s ± 0.003 s [User: 1.060 s, System: 0.017 s] Range (min … max): 1.074 s … 1.083 s 10 runs Summary ./git_2.50.1 rev-parse :/^Initial.revision ran 1.01 ± 0.00 times faster than ./git rev-parse :/^Initial.revision Signed-off-by: René Scharfe Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

commit-reach: use `size_t` to track indices in `get_reachable_subset()`

2024-12-27T16:11:45Z

Similar as with the preceding commit, adapt `get_reachable_subset()` so that it tracks array indices via `size_t` instead of using signed integers to fix a couple of -Wsign-compare warnings. Adapt callers accordingly. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'jc/pass-repo-to-builtins'

2024-09-23T17:35:09Z

The convention to calling into built-in command implementation has been updated to pass the repository, if known, together with the prefix value. * jc/pass-repo-to-builtins: add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY for those without the_repository builtin: remove USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE from builtin.h builtin: add a repository parameter for builtin functions

add: pass in repo variable instead of global the_repository

2024-09-13T21:33:30Z

With the repository variable available in the builtin function as an argument, pass this down into helper functions instead of using the global the_repository. Signed-off-by: John Cai Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

object: clear grafts when clearing parsed object pool

2024-09-05T15:49:11Z

We do not clear grafts part of the parsed object pool when clearing the pool itself, which can lead to memory leaks when a repository is being cleared. Fix this by moving `reset_commit_grafts()` into "object.c" and making it part of the `struct parsed_object_pool` interface such that we can call it from `parsed_object_pool_clear()`. Adapt `parsed_object_pool_new()` to take and store a reference to its owning repository, which is needed by `unparse_commit()`. Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

commit: add gentle reference lookup method

2024-08-14T17:10:05Z

The lookup_commit_reference_by_name() method uses lookup_commit_reference() without an option to use lookup_commit_reference_gently(). Create a gentle version of the method so it can be used in locations where non-commits may be found but error messages should be silenced. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
