[PATCH] Test case portability fix.

This is the remainder of testcase fix by Mark Allen to make them
work on his Darwin box. I was using "xargs -r" (GNU) where it
was not needed, sed -ne '/^\(author\|committer\)/s|>.*|>|p'
where some sed does not know what to do with '\|', and also
"cmp - file" to compare standard input with a file, which his
cmp does not support.

Make "parse_object()" also fill in commit message buffer data.

And teach fsck to free it to save memory.

git-rev-list: add "end" commit and "--header" flag

The "end" commit is just faking it right now, it's sorting things
purely by date, so this is _not_ a reachability analysis. Some day.

The "--header" flag causes the commit message to be printed out,
with a NUL character separator after it for parseability. This
allows you to do things like use "grep -z" to grep for certain
authors etc.

commit: save the commit buffer off when parsing a commit
object.

A fair number of the users potentially want to look at the
commit objects more closely, and if you worry about memory
leaking in certain applications, you can always do a

free(commit->buffer);
commit->buffer = NULL;

by hand after parsing them.

unpack_sha1_file: zero-pad the unpacked object.

This makes them easier to parse without having to worry about
running off the end, and allows us to treat commits as normal
strings.

[PATCH] Redo rename/copy detection logic.

Earlier implementation had a major screw-up in the memory
management area. Rename/copy logic sometimes borrowed a pointer
to a structure without any provision for downstream to determine
which pointer is shared and which is not. This resulted in the
later clean-up code to sometimes double free such structure,
resulting in a segfault. This made -M and -C useless.

Another problem the earlier implementation had was that it
reordered the patches, and forced the logic to differentiate
renames and copies to depend on that particular order. This
problem was fixed by teaching rename/copy detection logic not to
do any reordering, and rename-copy differentiator not to depend
on the order of the patches. The diffs will leave rename/copy
detector in the same destination path order as the patch that
was fed into it. Some test vectors have been reordered to
accommodate this change.

It also adds a sanity check logic to the human-readable diff-raw
output to detect paths with embedded TAB and LF characters,
which cannot be expressed with that format. This idea came up
during a discussion with Chris Wedgwood.

[PATCH] Rename/copy detection fix.

The rename/copy detection logic in earlier round was only good
enough to show patch output and discussion on the mailing list
about the diff-raw format updates revealed many problems with
it. This patch fixes all the ones known to me, without making
things I want to do later impossible, mostly related to patch
reordering.

(1) Earlier rename/copy detector determined which one is rename
and which one is copy too early, which made it impossible
to later introduce diffcore transformers to reorder
patches. This patch fixes it by moving that logic to the
very end of the processing.

(2) Earlier output routine diff_flush() was pruning all the
"no-change" entries indiscriminatingly. This was done due
to my false assumption that one of the requirements in the
diff-raw output was not to show such an entry (which
resulted in my incorrect comment about "diff-helper never
being able to be equivalent to built-in diff driver"). My
special thanks go to Linus for correcting me about this.
When we produce diff-raw output, for the downstream to be
able to tell renames from copies, sometimes it _is_
necessary to output "no-change" entries, and this patch
adds diffcore_prune() function for doing it.

(3) Earlier diff_filepair structure was trying to be not too
specific about rename/copy operations, but the purpose of
the structure was to record one or two paths, which _was_
indeed about rename/copy. This patch discards xfrm_msg
field which was trying to be generic for this wrong reason,
and introduces a couple of fields (rename_score and
rename_rank) that are explicitly specific to rename/copy
logic. One thing to note is that the information in a
single diff_filepair structure _still_ does not distinguish
renames from copies, and it is deliberately so. This is to
allow patches to be reordered in later stages.

(4) This patch also adds some tests about diff-raw format
output and makes sure that necessary "no-change" entries
appear on the output.

Start implementing "git-apply"

This applies git patches (and old-style unified diffs)
in the index, rather than doing it in the working directory.

That allows for a lot more flexibility, and means that if a
patch fails, we aren't going to mess up the working directory.

NOTE! This is just the first cut at it, and right now it only
parses the incoming patch, it doesn't actually apply it yet.

Don't care about st_dev in the index file

Thomas Glanzmann points out that it doesn't work well with different
clients accessing the repository over NFS - they have different views

Of course, other filesystems may not even have stable inode numbers.
But we don't care. At least for now.

extraneous #include directives from various .c files. The rule is that
"cache.h" gets all the basic stuff, so that we'll have as few system

restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p

[PATCH] Introducing software archaeologist's tool "pickaxe".

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.

Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:

$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M

would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".

In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.

The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

[PATCH] Diff overhaul, adding half of copy detection.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.

The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.

This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.

Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

get called "git.1". It just renames them to what they should have
been called.

* Fixes a cut-n-paste bug in git-diff-helper.txt that was making
asciidoc choke.

[PATCH] Implement git-checkout-cache -u to update stat information in the cache.

With -u flag, git-checkout-cache picks up the stat information
from newly created file and updates the cache. This removes the
need to run git-update-cache --refresh immediately after running
git-checkout-cache.

diff.c: remove left-over scoring debug message

It may be wonderful for rating the scoring, but it's
not appropriate for actual use ;)

git-whatchanged: use 'less -S' on the output to make it more user friendly

[PATCH] Detect renames in diff family.

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it
to the diff core, and updates the internal calling convention used by
diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').

Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta
infrastructure just committed.

This implements almost everything I wanted to see in this series of
patch, except a few minor cleanups in the calling convention into diff
core, but that will be a separate cleanup patch.

[PATCH] Deltification library work by Nicolas Pitre.

This patch adds the basic library functions to create and replay delta
information. Also included is a test-delta utility to validate the
code.

diff-delta was based on LibXDiff written by Davide Libenzi

[PATCH] A test case addition for strbuf regression

This test would have caught the strbuf eof condition gotcha,
hopefully fixed with my previous patch.

[PATCH] fix strbuf take #2

I just remembered why I placed that bogus "sb->len ==0 implies
sb->eof" condition there. We need at least something like this
to catch the normal EOF (that is, line termination immediately
followed by EOF) case. "if (feof(fp))" fires when we have
already read the eof, not when we are about read it.

merge-base: use the new lookup_commit_reference() helper function

This allows you to use tags for merge bases.

commit: add "lookup_commit_reference()" helper function

It's pretty much the same as "lookup_commit()", but it will take
tags too, and look up the commit (if any) associated with them.

diff-tree: don't match non-directories as partial pathnames

This normally doesn't matter, but if you have a filename that is
sometimes a directory and sometimes a regular file (or symlink),
we don't want the regular file case to trigger a "partial match".

diff-tree: fix "whole sub-tree disappeared or appeared" case

We still need to check which part of the sub-tree is interesting.

diff-tree: fix up comparison of "interesting" sub-trees

We used to trigger the "interesting subdirectory" check for any
matching name that started with the same character series, regardless
of whether it had the matching slash or not.

diff-tree: show hex sha1 of the single-commit argument case correctly.

We can't just do the "sha1_to_hex()" thing directly, since the
buffer in question will be overwritten by the name of the parent.

So teach diff_tree_commit() to generate the proper hex name itself.

diff-tree: fix and extend argument parsing

We use "--" to mark end of command line switches, not "-". Also,
allow more flexibility in the passed-in sha1 names, in that a
single sha1 uses the "commit-diff" logic that compares against
its parent(s).
