"git merge-tree" used to mishandle "both sides added" conflict with its own "create a fake ancestor file that has the common parts of what both sides have added and do a 3-way merge" logic; this has been updated to use the usual "3-way merge with an empty blob as the fake common ancestor file" approach used in the rest of the system. * jk/no-diff-emit-common: xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON merge-tree: drop generate_common strategy merge-one-file: use empty blob for add/add base

xdiff/xmerge: fix memory leak in xdl_merge

2016-02-23T20:58:26Z

When building the script for the second file that is to be merged we have already allocated memory for data structures related to the first file. When we encounter an error in building the second script we only free allocated memory related to the second file before erroring out. Fix this memory leak by also releasing allocated memory related to the first file. Helped-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Patrick Steinhardt Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

xdiff: drop XDL_EMIT_COMMON

2016-02-23T06:36:09Z

There are no more callers that use this mode, and none likely to be added (as our xdl_merge() eliminates the common use of it for generating 3-way merge bases). This is effectively a revert of a9ed376 (xdiff: generate "anti-diffs" aka what is common to two files, 2006-06-28), though of course trying to revert that ancient commit directly produces many textual conflicts.

merge-file: ensure that conflict sections match eol style

2016-01-27T18:21:53Z

In the previous patch, we made sure that the conflict markers themselves match the end-of-line style of the input files. However, this still left out the conflicting text itself: if it lacks a trailing newline, we add one, and should add a carriage return when appropriate, too.

merge-file: let conflict markers match end-of-line style of the context

2016-01-27T18:21:26Z

When merging files with CR/LF line endings, the conflict markers should match those, lest the output file has mixed line endings. This is particularly of interest on Windows, where some editors get *really* confused by mixed line endings. The original version of this patch by Beat Bolli respected core.eol, and a subsequent improvement by this developer also respected gitattributes. This approach was suboptimal, though: `git merge-file` was invented as a drop-in replacement for GNU merge and as such has no problem operating outside of any repository at all! Another problem with the original approach was pointed out by Junio Hamano: legacy repositories might have their text files committed using CR/LF line endings (and core.eol and the gitattributes would give us a false impression there). Therefore, the much superior approach is to simply match the context's line endings, if any. We actually do not have to look at the *entire* context at all: if the files are all LF-only, or if they all have CR/LF line endings, it is sufficient to look at just a *single* line to match that style. And if the line endings are mixed anyway, it is *still* okay to imitate just a single line's eol: we will just add to the pile of mixed line endings, and there is nothing we can do about that. So what we do is: we look at the line preceding the conflict, falling back to the line preceding that in case it was the last line and had no line ending, falling back to the first line, first in the first post-image, then the second post-image, and finally the pre-image. If we find consistent CR/LF (or undecided) end-of-line style, we match that, otherwise we use LF-only line endings for the conflict markers. Note that while it is true that there have to be at least two lines we can look at (otherwise there would be no conflict), the same is not true for line *endings*: the three files in question could all consist of a single line without any line ending, each. In this case we fall back to using LF-only. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-merge-file: do not add LF at EOF while applying unrelated change

2014-06-30T21:07:58Z

If 'current-file' does not contain LF at EOF, and change between 'base-file' and 'other-file' does not change any line close to EOF, the 3-way merge should not add LF to EOF. This is what 'diff3 -m' does, and seems to be a reasonable expectation. The change which introduced the behavior is cd1d61c44f. It always calls function xdl_recs_copy() for sides with add_nl == 1. In fact, it looks like the only case when this is needed is when 2 files are being union-merged, and they do not have LF at EOF (strictly speaking, the first of them). Add tests: * "merge without conflict (missing LF at EOF, away from change in the other file)" and "merge does not add LF away of change", to demonstrate the changed behavior. * "conflict at EOF without LF resolved by --union", to verify that the union-merge at the end inerts newline between versions. * some more tests which I felt like not covering the functionality well Signed-off-by: Max Kirillov Acked-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

C: have space around && and || operators

2013-10-16T17:26:39Z

Correct all hits from git grep -e '$&&\|||$[^ ]' -e '[^ ]$&&\|||$' -- '*.c' i.e. && or || operators that are followed by anything but a SP, or that follow something other than a SP or a HT, so that these operators have a SP around it when necessary. We usually refrain from making this kind of a tree-wide change in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with other "real work" patches, but in this case, the end result does not have a potentially cumbersome tree-wide impact, while this is a tree-wide cleanup. Fixes to compat/regex/regcomp.c and xdiff/xemit.c are to replace a HT immediately after && with a SP. This is based on Felipe's patch to bultin/symbolic-ref.c; I did all the finding out what other files in the whole tree need to be fixed and did the fix and also the log message while reviewing that single liner, so any screw-ups in this version are mine.

diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option

2013-06-19T22:17:45Z

The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff -B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not available because it's already used for "break-rewrites". When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes. There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option: - GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled - The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice): $ seq 5 >file1 $ cat <file2 change 1 2 3 4 5 change EOF $ diff -u -B file1 file2 --- file1 2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200 +++ file2 2013-06-08 22:13:23.275517855 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ +change 1 2 + 3 4 5 @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@ 3 4 5 +change So here is a more thorough description of the option: - real changes are interesting - blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition) - "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes - If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they will be merged into one. The implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a single pass. Signed-off-by: Antoine Pelisse Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
