combine-diff: Record diff status a bit more faithfully

2006-02-10T10:50:53Z

This shows "new file mode XXXX" and "deleted file mode XXXX" lines like two-way diff-patch output does, by checking the status from each parent. The diff-raw output for combined diff is made a bit uglier by showing diff status letters with each parent. While most of the case you would see "MM" in the output, an Evil Merge that touches a path that was added by inheriting from one parent is possible and it would be shown like these: $ git-diff-tree --abbrev -c HEAD 2d7ca89675eb8888b0b88a91102f096d4471f09f ::000000 000000 100644 0000000... 0000000... 31dd686...

combine-diff: move formatting logic to show_combined_diff()

2006-02-09T23:23:06Z

This way, diff-files can make use of it. Also implement the full suite of what diff_flush_raw() supports just for consistency. With this, 'diff-tree -c -r --name-status' would show what is expected. There is no way to get the historical output (useful for debugging and low-level Plumbing work) anymore, so tentatively it makes '-m' to mean "do not combine and show individual diffs with parents". diff-files matches diff-tree to produce raw output for -c. For textual combined diff, use -p -c. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-tree -c raw output

2006-02-09T19:46:05Z

NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics. I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't actually do that. The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has colons for parents. So now, in the kernel, when you do git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd (to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you get cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd ::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287 arch/arm/Kconfig ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by result sha1). Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output. Cool/stupid exercise: $ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | less -S will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

combine-diff: remove misguided --show-empty hack.

Now --always flag is available in diff-tree, there is no reason to have that hack in the diffcore side. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Make the "struct tree_desc" operations available to others

2006-02-01T00:07:01Z

We have operations to "extract" and "update" a "struct tree_desc", but we only used them in tree-diff.c and they were static to that file. But other tree traversal functions can use them to their advantage Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

abbrev cleanup: use symbolic constants

2006-01-28T08:09:38Z

The minimum length of abbreviated object name was hardcoded in different places to be 4, risking inconsistencies in the future. Also there were three different "default abbreviation precision". Use two C preprocessor symbols to clean up this mess. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-files: -c and --cc options.

2006-01-28T08:08:29Z

This ports the "combined diff" to diff-files so that differences to the working tree files since stage 2 and stage 3 are shown the same way as combined diff output from diff-tree for the merge commit would be shown if the current working tree files are committed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-tree --cc: denser combined diff output for a merge commit.

2006-01-28T08:08:28Z

Building on the previous '-c' (combined) option, '--cc' option squelches the output further by omitting hunks that consist of difference with solely one parent. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
