git/diff-lib.c, branch v2.42.2

Merge branch 'js/diff-cached-fsmonitor-fix' into maint-2.42

2023-11-02T07:53:19Z

"git diff --cached" codepath did not fill the necessary stat information for a file when fsmonitor knows it is clean and ended up behaving as if it is not clean, which has been corrected. * js/diff-cached-fsmonitor-fix: diff-lib: fix check_removed when fsmonitor is on

diff-lib: fix check_removed when fsmonitor is on

2023-09-11T23:45:49Z

`git diff-index` may return incorrect deleted entries when fsmonitor is used in a repository with git submodules. This can be observed on Mac machines, but it can affect all other supported platforms too. If fsmonitor is used, `stat *st` is not initialized if cache_entry has CE_FSMONITOR_VALID set. But, there are three call sites that rely on stat afterwards, which can result in incorrect results. This change partially reverts commit 4f3d6d02 (fsmonitor: skip lstat deletion check during git diff-index, 2021-03-17). Signed-off-by: Josip Sokcevic Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: drop useless return from run_diff_{files,index} functions

2023-08-21T22:33:24Z

Neither of these functions ever returns a value other than zero. Instead, they expect unrecoverable errors to exit immediately, and things like "--exit-code" are stored inside the diff_options struct to be handled later via diff_result_code(). Some callers do check the return values, but many don't bother. Let's drop the useless return values, which are misleading callers about how the functions work. This could be seen as a step in the wrong direction, as we might want to eventually "lib-ify" these to more cleanly return errors up the stack, in which case we'd have to add the return values back in. But there are some benefits to doing this now: 1. In the current code, somebody could accidentally add a "return -1" to one of the functions, which would be erroneously ignored by many callers. By removing the return code, the compiler can notice the mismatch and force the developer to decide what to do. Obviously the other option here is that we could start consistently checking the error code in every caller. But it would be dead code, and we wouldn't get any compile-time help in catching new cases. 2. It communicates the situation to callers, who may want to choose a different function. These functions are really thin wrappers for doing git-diff-files and git-diff-index within the process. But callers who care about recovering from an error here are probably better off using the underlying library functions, many of which do return errors. If somebody eventually wants to teach these functions to propagate errors, they'll have to switch back to returning a value, effectively reverting this patch. But at least then they will be starting with a level playing field: they know that they will need to inspect each caller to see how it should handle the error.

diff: spell DIFF_INDEX_CACHED out when calling run_diff_index()

2023-08-21T22:33:23Z

Many callers of run_diff_index() passed literal "1" for the option flag word, which should better be spelled out as DIFF_INDEX_CACHED for readablity. Everybody else passes "0" that can stay as-is. The other bit in the option flag word is DIFF_INDEX_MERGE_BASE, but curiously there is only one caller that can pass it, which is "git diff-index --merge-base" itself---no internal callers uses the feature. A bit tricky call to the function is in builtin/submodule--helper.c where the .cached member in a private struct is set/reset as a plain Boolean flag, which happens to be "1" and happens to match the value of DIFF_INDEX_CACHED.

Merge branch 'en/header-split-cache-h-part-3'

2023-06-29T23:43:21Z

Header files cleanup. * en/header-split-cache-h-part-3: (28 commits) fsmonitor-ll.h: split this header out of fsmonitor.h hash-ll, hashmap: move oidhash() to hash-ll object-store-ll.h: split this header out of object-store.h khash: name the structs that khash declares merge-ll: rename from ll-merge git-compat-util.h: remove unneccessary include of wildmatch.h builtin.h: remove unneccessary includes list-objects-filter-options.h: remove unneccessary include diff.h: remove unnecessary include of oidset.h repository: remove unnecessary include of path.h log-tree: replace include of revision.h with simple forward declaration cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header read-cache*.h: move declarations for read-cache.c functions from cache.h repository.h: move declaration of the_index from cache.h merge.h: move declarations for merge.c from cache.h diff.h: move declaration for global in diff.c from cache.h preload-index.h: move declarations for preload-index.c from elsewhere sparse-index.h: move declarations for sparse-index.c from cache.h name-hash.h: move declarations for name-hash.c from cache.h run-command.h: move declarations for run-command.c from cache.h ...

diff.h: remove unnecessary include of oidset.h

2023-06-21T20:39:53Z

This also made it clear that several .c files depended upon various things that oidset included, but had omitted the direct #include for those headers. Add those now. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header

2023-06-21T20:39:53Z

Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well. Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen to include it first). This change exposed the violation and caused it to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.

read-cache*.h: move declarations for read-cache.c functions from cache.h

2023-06-21T20:39:53Z

For the functions defined in read-cache.c, move their declarations from cache.h to a new header, read-cache-ll.h. Also move some related inline functions from cache.h to read-cache.h. The purpose of the read-cache-ll.h/read-cache.h split is that about 70% of the sites don't need the inline functions and the extra headers they include.

diff-lib: honor override_submodule_config flag bit

2023-06-14T18:28:12Z

When `diff.ignoreSubmodules = all` is set and submodule commits are manually staged (e.g. via `git-update-index`), `git-commit` should record the commit with updated submodules. `index_differs_from` is called from `prepare_to_commit` with flags set to `override_submodule_config = 1`. `index_differs_from` then merges the default diff flags and passed flags. When `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to "all", `flags` ends up having both `override_submodule_config` and `ignore_submodules` set to 1. This results in `git-commit` ignoring staged commits. This patch restores original `flags.ignore_submodule` if `flags.override_submodule_config` is set. Signed-off-by: Josip Sokcevic Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
