[PATCH] Show dissimilarity index for D and N case.
The way broken deletes and creates are shown in the -p

Although it was described as such, git-mkdelta didn't really attempt to
find the best delta against any previous object in the list, but was
only able to create a delta against the preceeding object. This patch
reworks the code to fix that limitation and hopefully makes it a bit
clearer than before, including fixing the delta loop detection which was
broken.
This means that
git-mkdelta sha1 sha2 sha3 sha4 sha5 sha6
will now create a sha2 delta against sha1, a sha3 delta against either
sha2 or sha1 and keep the best one, a sha4 delta against either sha3,
sha2 or sha1, etc. The --max-behind argument limits that search for the
best delta to the specified number of previous objects in the list. If
no limit is specified it is unlimited (note: it might run out of
memory with long object lists).
Also added a -q (quiet) switch so it is possible to have 3 levels of
output: -q for nothing, -v for verbose, and if none of -q nor -v is
specified then only actual changes on the object database are shown.
Finally the git-deltafy-script has been updated accordingly, and some
bugs fixed (thanks to Stephen C. Tweedie for spotting them).
This version has been toroughly tested and I think it is ready
for public consumption.

This is meant to make raw git not hugely less usable than something
like raw CVS. I want to make a 1.0 release of the plumbing, and the
actual commit part was just too intimidating.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

When preparing data to feed the external diff, we should give
the mode we obtained from the caller, even when we are dealing
with a file with 0{40} SHA1 (i.e. the caller said "look at the
filesystem"), since the mode passed by the caller via
diff_addremove() or diff_change() is always trustworthy.
This is _not_ a bugfix --- the existing code stat() on the file
ifself and does the same computation on st.st_mode to compute
the mode the same way the caller did to give the original mode.
We cannot remove the stat() call from here, but the extra

the comment for the tests said otherwise. This patch also

optionally be followed by a number called "score"; it does not
have to stay similarity index forever and there is no reason to
limit it only to C and R.

[PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more
like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory.
Namely, the changes are:
- Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to
restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed
out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent),
this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show.
- Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its
sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given
without argument).
- Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either
file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate
children.
- With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively
descends into it if it is a tree.
- With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its
children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it
recursively.
This is still request-for-comments patch. There is no mailing
list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one.
The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates
user-visible behaviour changes. Namely:
* "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then
path0. It used to use paths as an output restrictor and
showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then
path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments.
* "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate
children but having explicit paths argument does not imply
recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not
paths/baz/b.

This attempts to optimize "diff-tree -[CM] --stdin", which
compares successible tree pairs. This optimization does not
make much sense for other commands in the diff-* brothers.
When reading from --stdin and using rename/copy detection, the
patch makes diff-tree to read the current index file first.
This is done to reuse the optimization used by diff-cache in the
non-cached case. Similarity estimator can avoid expanding a
blob if the index says what is in the work tree has an exact
copy of that blob already expanded.
Another optimization the patch makes is to check only file sizes
first to terminate similarity estimation early. In order for
this to work, it needs a way to tell the size of the blob
without expanding it. Since an obvious way of doing it, which
is to keep all the blobs previously used in the memory, is too
costly, it does so by keeping the filesize for each object it
has already seen in memory.

[PATCH] Move pathspec to the beginning of the diffcore chain.
This changes the way how pathspec is used in the three diff-*
brothers. Earlier, they tried to grab as much information from
the original input and used pathspec to limit the output. This
version uses pathspec upfront to narrow the world diffcore
operates in, so "git-diff-* <arguments> some-directory" does not
look at things outside the specified subtree when finding
rename/copy or running pickaxe.
Since diff-tree already takes this view and does not feed
anything outside the specified directotires to begin with, this
patch does not have to touch that command.

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

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.
