git/log-tree.c, branch v2.36.2

Merge branch 'jc/diff-tree-stdin-fix' into maint

2022-05-05T21:36:24Z

"diff-tree --stdin" has been broken for about a year, but 2.36 release broke it even worse by breaking running the command with , which in turn broke "gitk" and got noticed. This has been corrected by aligning its behaviour to that of "log". This fixes a regression in 2.36 and is slate to go to 2.36.1 source: * jc/diff-tree-stdin-fix: 2.36 gitk/diff-tree --stdin regression fix

2.36 gitk/diff-tree --stdin regression fix

2022-04-26T16:26:35Z

This only surfaced as a regression after 2.36 release, but the breakage was already there with us for at least a year. The diff_free() call is to be used after we completely finished with a diffopt structure. After "git diff A B" finishes producing output, calling it before process exit is fine. But there are commands that prepares diff_options struct once, compares two sets of paths, releases resources that were used to do the comparison, then reuses the same diff_option struct to go on to compare the next two sets of paths, like "git log -p". After "git log -p" finishes showing a single commit, calling it before it goes on to the next commit is NOT fine. There is a mechanism, the .no_free member in diff_options struct, to help "git log" to avoid calling diff_free() after showing each commit and instead call it just one. When the mechanism was introduced in e900d494 (diff: add an API for deferred freeing, 2021-02-11), however, we forgot to do the same to "diff-tree --stdin", which *is* a moral equivalent to "git log". During 2.36 release cycle, we started clearing the pathspec in diff_free(), so programs like gitk that runs git diff-tree --stdin -- downstream of a pipe, processing one commit after another, started showing irrelevant comparison outside the given from the second commit. The same commit, by forgetting to teach the .no_free mechanism, broke "diff-tree --stdin -I" and nobody noticed it for over a year, presumably because it is so seldom used an option. But is a different story. The breakage was very prominently visible and was reported immediately after 2.36 was released. Fix this breakage by mimicking how "git log" utilizes the .no_free member so that "diff-tree --stdin" behaves more similarly to "log". Protect the fix with a few new tests.

Merge branch 'ab/object-file-api-updates'

Object-file API shuffling. * ab/object-file-api-updates: object-file API: pass an enum to read_object_with_reference() object-file.c: add a literal version of write_object_file_prepare() object-file API: have hash_object_file() take "enum object_type" object API: rename hash_object_file_literally() to write_*() object-file API: split up and simplify check_object_signature() object API users + docs: check <0, not !0 with check_object_signature() object API docs: move check_object_signature() docs to cache.h object API: correct "buf" v.s. "map" mismatch in *.c and *.h object-file API: have write_object_file() take "enum object_type" object-file API: add a format_object_header() function object-file API: return "void", not "int" from hash_object_file() object-file.c: split up declaration of unrelated variables

object-file API: have hash_object_file() take "enum object_type"

2022-02-26T01:16:32Z

Change the hash_object_file() function to take an "enum object_type". Since a preceding commit all of its callers are passing either "{commit,tree,blob,tag}_type", or the result of a call to type_name(), the parse_object() caller that would pass NULL is now using stream_object_signature().

show, log: include conflict/warning messages in --remerge-diff headers

2022-02-02T18:02:28Z

Conflicts such as modify/delete, rename/rename, or file/directory are not representable via content conflict markers, and the normal output messages notifying users about these were dropped with --remerge-diff. While we don't want these messages randomly shown before the commit and diff headers, we do want them to still be shown; include them as part of the diff headers instead.

diff: add ability to insert additional headers for paths

2022-02-02T18:02:28Z

When additional headers are provided, we need to * add diff_filepairs to diff_queued_diff for each paths in the additional headers map which, unless that path is part of another diff_filepair already found in diff_queued_diff * format the headers (colorization, line_prefix for --graph) * make sure the various codepaths that attempt to return early if there are "no changes" take into account the headers that need to be shown.

log: clean unneeded objects during `log --remerge-diff`

2022-02-02T18:02:27Z

The --remerge-diff option will need to create new blobs and trees representing the "automatic merge" state. If one is traversing a long project history, one can easily get hundreds of thousands of loose objects generated during `log --remerge-diff`. However, none of those loose objects are needed after we have completed our diff operation; they can be summarily deleted. Add a new helper function to tmp_objdir to discard all the contained objects, and call it after each merge is handled. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

show, log: provide a --remerge-diff capability

2022-02-02T18:02:27Z

When this option is specified, we remerge all (two parent) merge commits and diff the actual merge commit to the automatically created version, in order to show how users removed conflict markers, resolved the different conflict versions, and potentially added new changes outside of conflict regions in order to resolve semantic merge problems (or, possibly, just to hide other random changes). This capability works by creating a temporary object directory and marking it as the primary object store. This makes it so that any blobs or trees created during the automatic merge are easily removable afterwards by just deleting all objects from the temporary object directory. There are a few ways that this implementation is suboptimal: * `log --remerge-diff` becomes slow, because the temporary object directory can fill with many loose objects while running * the log output can be muddied with misplaced "warning: cannot merge binary files" messages, since ll-merge.c unconditionally writes those messages to stderr while running instead of allowing callers to manage them. * important conflict and warning messages are simply dropped; thus for conflicts like modify/delete or rename/rename or file/directory which are not representable with content conflict markers, there may be no way for a user of --remerge-diff to know that there had been a conflict which was resolved (and which possibly motivated other changes in the merge commit). * when fixing the previous issue, note that some unimportant conflict and warning messages might start being included. We should instead make sure these remain dropped. Subsequent commits will address these issues. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

ssh signing: make git log verify key lifetime

ssh signing: use sigc struct to pass payload

2021-12-09T21:38:04Z

To be able to extend the payload metadata with things like its creation timestamp or the creators ident we remove the payload parameters to check_signature() and use the already existing sigc->payload field instead, only adding the length field to the struct. This also allows us to get rid of the xmemdupz() calls in the verify functions. Since sigc is now used to input data as well as output the result move it to the front of the function list. - Add payload_length to struct signature_check - Populate sigc.payload/payload_len on all call sites - Remove payload parameters to check_signature() - Remove payload parameters to internal verify_* functions and use sigc instead - Remove xmemdupz() used for verbose output since payload is now already populated.
