diff: get rid of redundant 'dense' argument

2020-09-29T18:54:53Z

Get rid of 'dense' argument that is redundant for every function that has 'struct rev_info *rev' argument as well, as the value of 'dense' passed is always taken from 'rev->dense_combined_merges' field. The only place where this was not the case is in 'submodule.c' where 'diff_tree_combined_merge()' was called with '1' for 'dense' argument. However, at that call the 'revs' instance used is local to the function, and we now just set 'revs->dense_combined_merges' to 1 in this local instance.

diff-lib: tighten show_interdiff()'s interface

2020-09-08T22:03:27Z

To compute and show an interdiff, show_interdiff() needs only the two OID's to compare and a diffopts, yet it expects callers to supply an entire rev_info. The demand for rev_info is not only overkill, but also places unnecessary burden on potential future callers which might not otherwise have a rev_info at hand. Address this by tightening its signature to require only the items it needs instead of a full rev_info. Signed-off-by: Eric Sunshine Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: move show_interdiff() from its own file to diff-lib

2020-09-08T22:03:26Z

show_interdiff() is a relatively small function and not likely to grow larger or more complicated. Rather than dedicating an entire source file to it, relocate it to diff-lib.c which houses other "take two things and compare them" functions meant to be re-used but not so low-level as to reside in the core diff implementation.

revision: add separate field for "-m" of "diff-index -m"

2020-08-31T20:42:58Z

Add separate 'match_missing' field for diff-index to use and set it when we encounter "-m" option. This field won't then be cleared when another meaning of "-m" is reverted (e.g., by "--no-diff-merges"), nor it will be affected by future option(s) that might drive 'ignore_merges' field. Use this new field from diff-lib:do_oneway_diff() instead of reusing 'ignore_merges' field. Signed-off-by: Sergey Organov Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-lib: use worktree mode in diffs from i-t-a entries

2020-08-09T18:14:29Z

When creating "new file" diffs against i-t-a index entries, diff-lib erroneously used the mode of the cache entry rather than the mode of the file in the worktree. This changes run_diff_files() to correctly use the mode of the worktree file in this case. Signed-off-by: Raymond E. Pasco Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-files --raw: show correct post-image of intent-to-add files

2020-07-01T23:15:43Z

The documented behavior of `git diff-files --raw` is to display [...] 0{40} if creation, unmerged or "look at work tree". on the right hand (i.e. postimage) side. This happens for files that have unstaged modifications, and for files that are unmodified but stat-dirty. For intent-to-add files, we used to show the empty blob's hash instead. In c26022ea8f5 (diff: convert diff_addremove to struct object_id, 2017-05-30), we made that worse by inadvertently changing that to the hash of the empty tree. Let's make the behavior consistent with files that have unstaged modifications (which applies to intent-to-add files, too) by showing all-zero values also for intent-to-add files. Accordingly, this patch adjusts the expectations set by the regression test introduced in feea6946a5b (diff-files: treat "i-t-a" files as "not-in-index", 2020-06-20).

mark_fsmonitor_valid(): mark the index as changed if needed

2019-05-28T19:43:43Z

Without this bug fix, t7519's four "status doesn't detect unreported modifications" test cases would fail occasionally (and, oddly enough, *a lot* more frequently on Windows). The reason is that these test cases intentionally use the side effect of `git status` to re-write the index if any updates were detected: they first clean the worktree, run `git status` to update the index as well as show the output to the casual reader, then make the worktree dirty again and expect no changes to reported if running with a mocked fsmonitor hook. The problem with this strategy was that the index was written during said `git status` on the clean worktree for the *wrong* reason: not because the index was marked as changed (it wasn't), but because the recorded mtimes were racy with the index' own mtime. As the mtime granularity on Windows is 100 nanoseconds (see e.g. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/file-times), the mtimes of the files are often enough *not* racy with the index', so that that `git status` call currently does not always update the index (including the fsmonitor extension), causing the test case to fail. The obvious fix: if we change *any* index entry's `CE_FSMONITOR_VALID` flag, we should also mark the index as changed. That will cause the index to be written upon `git status`, *including* an updated fsmonitor extension. Side note: Even though the reader might think that the t7519 issue should be *much* more prevalent on Linux, given that the ext4 filesystem (that seems to be used by every Linux distribution) stores mtimes in nanosecond precision. However, ext4 uses `current_kernel_time()` (see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/11599#comment762968_11599; it is *amazingly* hard to find any proper source of information about such ext4 questions) whose accuracy seems to depend on many factors but is safely worse than the 100-nanosecond granularity of NTFS (again, it is *horribly* hard to find anything remotely authoritative about this question). So it seems that the racy index condition that hid the bug fixed by this patch simply is a lot more likely on Linux than on Windows. But not impossible ;-) Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: drop options parameter from diffcore_fix_diff_index()

2019-02-14T23:26:14Z

The sole purpose of this function is to fix the sorting order of the queued diff entries. It doesn't need to know about any diff options, so we can drop the unused parameter. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
