git-diff-*: support "-u" as a synonym for "-p"

2005-07-08T17:45:07Z

I'm probably not the only one whose fingers have gotten hard-wired to use "-u" for "unified diff".

[PATCH] Make -C less eager.

2005-06-20T03:13:18Z

Like diff-tree, this patch makes -C option for diff-* brothers to use only pre-image of modified files as rename/copy detection by default. Give --find-copies-harder to use unmodified files to find copies from as well. This also fixes "diff-files -C" problem earlier noticed by Linus. It was feeding the null sha1 even when the file in the work tree was known to match what is in the index file. This resulted in diff-files showing everything in the project.

[PATCH] Add --diff-filter= output restriction to diff-* family.

2005-06-13T03:40:20Z

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions: - A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D (deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them. - The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option). For example, $ git-rev-list HEAD | git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or rename.

[PATCH] git-diff-cache: handle pathspec beginning with a dash

2005-06-08T20:03:25Z

Parse everything after '--' as tree name or pathspec. Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] diff: Clean up diff_scoreopt_parse().

2005-06-03T18:23:03Z

This cleans up diff_scoreopt_parse() function that is used to parse the fractional notation -B, -C and -M option takes. The callers are modified to check for errors and complain. Earlier they silently ignored malformed input and falled back on the default. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] diff: Fix docs and add -O to diff-helper.

2005-06-03T18:23:03Z

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings: - clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse"; rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically they are different when -C is involved. - describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was implemented, documented but not described in usage text. Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B), this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between diff.c and diffcore backends).

[PATCH] Add -O option to diff-* brothers.

2005-05-31T01:10:46Z

A new diffcore filter diffcore-order is introduced. This takes a text file each of whose line is a shell glob pattern. Patches that match a glob pattern on an earlier line in the file are output before patches that match a later line, and patches that do not match any glob pattern are output last. A typical orderfile for git project probably should look like this: README Makefile Documentation *.h *.c Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.

2005-05-30T17:35:49Z

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced. When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch. The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and defaults to 99% if not specified. As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens: The original change looks like this: file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0) file1 --> /dev/null After diffcore-break runs, it would become this: file0 --> /dev/null /dev/null --> file0' file1 --> /dev/null Then diffcore-rename matches them up: file1 --> file0' The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] diff: consolidate various calls into diffcore.

2005-05-30T17:35:49Z

The three diff-* brothers had a sequence of calls into diffcore that were almost identical. Introduce a new diffcore_std() function that takes all the necessary arguments to consolidate it. This will make later enhancements and changing the order of diffcore application simpler. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Pickaxe fixes.

2005-05-29T18:42:29Z

A bug in the command line argument parsing code was making pickaxe not to work at all in diff-cache and diff-files commands. Embarrassingly enough, the working pickaxe in diff-tree tells me that it was not working in these two commands from day one. This patch fixes it. Also updates the documentation to describe the --pickaxe-all option. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
