With the recent "no-patch-by-default" change, the -s flag to the
show-diff command (and silent variable in the show-diff.c) became
meaningless. This deprecates it.
Cogito uses "show-diff -s" for the purpose of "I do not want the patch
text. I just want to know if something has potentially changed, in
which case I know you will have some output. I'll run update-cache
--refresh if you say something", so we cannot barf on seeing -s on our
command line yet.

The "base" string already contains any finishing "/", so the way
to get the full pathname is to just concatenate the base and
path directly, with no extra slashes in between.
Junio pointed out that diff-cache didn't handle the case of a new file
that was different from its index entry correctly. It needs to check
the working copy the same way the modified file case did.
This introduces three public functions for diff-cache and friends can
use to call out to the GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF program when they wish to.
A normal "add/remove/change" entry is turned into 7-parameter process
invocation of GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF program as before. In addition, the
program can now be called with a single parameter when diff-cache and
friends want to report an unmerged path.

We've always warned about them properly, but we would then do the
wrong thing if that filename existed in the tree we were comparing
against (we'd think the file has been deleted, because we forgot
about the unmerged cases).
diff-cache attempts to first remove all merge entries before letting the
diff_cache() do its work, but it incorrectly stops after the first
merge-entry it finds.
Fix by just replacing the "break" with a "continue".

This reworks the diff-tree-helper and show-diff to further make external
diff command interface simpler.
These commands now honor GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable which
can point at an arbitrary program that takes 7 parameters:
name file1 file1-sha1 file1-mode file2 file2-sha1 file2-mode
The parameters for an external diff command are as follows:
name this invocation of the command is to emit diff
for the named cache/tree entry.
file1 pathname that holds the contents of the first
file. This can be a file inside the working
tree, or a temporary file created from the blob
object, or /dev/null. The command should not
attempt to unlink it -- the temporary is
unlinked by the caller.
file1-sha1 sha1 hash if file1 is a blob object, or "."
otherwise.
file1-mode mode bits for file1, or "." for a deleted file.
If GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable is not set, the
default is to invoke diff with the set of parameters old
show-diff used to use. This built-in implementation honors the
GIT_DIFF_CMD and GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variables as before.

This patch introduces a new program, diff-tree-helper. It reads
output from diff-cache and diff-tree, and produces a patch file.
The diff format customization can be done the same way the
show-diff uses; the same external diff interface introduced by
the previous patch to drive diff from show-diff is used so this
is not surprising.
- As usual, the use of the -z flag is recommended in the script
to pass NUL-terminated filenames through the pipe between
commands.
- The -R flag is used to generate reverse diff. It does not
matter for diff-tree case, but it is sometimes useful to get
a patch in the desired direction out of diff-cache.
- The paths parameters are used to restrict the paths that
appears in the output. Again this is useful to use with
diff-cache, which, unlike diff-tree, does not take such paths
restriction parameters.

[PATCH] Split external diff command interface to a separate file.
With this patch, the non-core'ish part of show-diff command that
invokes an external "diff" comand to obtain patches is split
into a separate file. The next patch will introduce a new
command, diff-tree-helper, which uses this common diff interface
to format diff-tree and diff-cache output into a patch form.

The git archives have some old-date-format commits with timezones
that the converter didn't recognize. Also, make it be quiet about
already-converted dates.
This adds an --ignore-missing option to update-cache, which makes it
ignore missing files. Together with the "-n" option to checkout-cache,
it allows me to do
checkout-cache -n -f -a && update-cache --ignore-missing --refresh
which only updates and refreshes the files I already have checked out.
We should _not_ mark a blob object "parsed" just because we
looked it up: it gets marked that way only once we've actually
seen it. Otherwise we can never notice a missing blob.
This is based on a patch by David Woodhouse, but with the selection
tests much simplified and streamlined.
It makes diff-tree take extra arguments, specifying the files or
directories which should be considered "interesting". Changes in
uninteresting directories are not reported.

1) permissions aren't respected in the merge script (primarily because
they're never passed in to it in the first place). Fix that and also
check for permission conflicts in the merge
2) the delete of a file in both branches may indeed be just that, but it
could also be the indicator of a rename conflict (file moved to
different locations in both branches), so error out and ask the
committer for guidance.

This patch adds three similar and related programs. http-pull downloads
objects from an HTTP server; rpull downloads objects by using ssh and
rpush on the other side; and rpush uploads objects by using ssh and rpull
on the other side.
The algorithm should be sufficient to make the network throughput required
depend only on how much content is new, not at all on how much content the
repository contains.
The combination should enable people to have remote repositories by way of
ssh login for authenticated users and HTTP for anonymous access.

The old implementation was a nice algorithm, but, unfortunately, it could

Make "convert-cache" able to handle the really old archive formats
This includes the old-style "flat tree" object, and the old broken
date format. Well, enough of the date format to convert the sparse
archive, at least.
We really don't care about atime, and it sucks to dirty the
inode cache just for it.
This is more than a one-liner only because we need to be able to
clear the O_NOATIME flag in case some of the objects are owned
by others (in which case open will return EPERM), and because not
everybody has the O_NOATIME flag.
Here is a SHA1 implementation with the core written in PPC assembly.

This one is about a million times simpler, and much more likely to be
correct too.
Instead of trying to match up a tree object against the index, we just
read in the tree object side-by-side into the index, and just walk the
resulting index file. This was what all the read-tree cleanups were
all getting to.
Add support for alternate SHA1 library implementations.
This one includes the Mozilla SHA1 implementation sent in by Edgar Toernig.
It's dual-licenced under MPL-1.1 or GPL, so in the context of git, we
obviously use the GPL version.
Side note: the Mozilla SHA1 implementation is about twice as fast as the
default openssl one on my G5, but the default openssl one has optimized
x86 assembly language on x86. So choose wisely.
Add support for a "GIT_INDEX_FILE" environment variable.
We use that to specify alternative index files, which can be useful
if you want to (for example) generate a temporary index file to do
some specific operation that you don't want to mess with your main
one with.
It defaults to the regular ".git/index" if it hasn't been specified.
Usage string fixes to make maintenance easier (only one instance
of a string to update not multiple copies). I've spotted and
corrected inconsistent usage text in diff-tree while doing this.
Also diff-cache and read-tree usage text have been corrected to
match their up-to-date features. Earlier, neither "--cached"
form of diff-cache nor "-m single-merge" form of read-tree were
described.

Updates read-tree to use read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1()
function. The command can take either tree or commit IDs with
this patch.
The change involves a slight modification of how it recurses down
the tree. Earlier the caller only supplied SHA1 and the recurser
read the object using it, but now it is the caller's responsibility
to read the object and give it to the recurser. This matches the
way recursive behaviour is done in other tree- related commands.

[PATCH] Accept commit in some places when tree is needed.
This patch implements read_tree_with_tree_or_commit_sha1(),
which can be used when you are interested in reading an unpacked
raw tree data but you do not know nor care if the SHA1 you
obtained your user is a tree ID or a commit ID. Before this
function's introduction, you would have called read_sha1_file(),
examined its type, parsed it to call read_sha1_file() again if
it is a commit, and verified that the resulting object is a
tree. Instead, this function does that for you. It returns
NULL if the given SHA1 is not either a tree or a commit.

Make "diff-tree" take commit objects too, like "diff-cache" does.
Sometimes it's just easier to not have to look up the "commit"->"tree"
translation by hand first. It's trivial to do inside diff-tree, and
it's just being polite.
Make us be better at guessing a good hostname for the email.
It's still just a guess, and the result is not a real email
address anyway. If you want to, you can use COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
to correct for any git guesses.
Yes, the "parse_commit()" already checks for this condition, but
we need to check for it in rev-tree too, so that we don't start
walking the parent chain unnecessarily.
Doing the latest SCSI merge exposed two bugs in your merge script:
1) It doesn't like a completely new directory (the misc tree contains a
new drivers/scsi/lpfc)
2) the merge testing logic is wrong. You only want to exit 1 if the
merge fails.
[PATCH] provide better committer information to commit-tree.c
Here's a small patch to commit-tree.c that does two things:
- allows the committer email address and name to be overridden
by environment variables (if you don't like the environment
variable names I've used (COMMIT_AUTHOR_NAME,
COMMIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL), feel free to change them.)
- provide the proper domainname to the author/committer email
address (otherwise, my address was only showing up as from the
hostname.)
This allows people to set sane values for the commit names and email
addresses, preventing odd, private hostnames and domains from being
exposed to the world.
Patch 1/6 in the series has already cleaned the interface to
call sq_expand(), but the comment before that function still
carries the stale interface warning. Remove it.
