The "similarity" logic was giving added material way too much
negative weight. What we wanted to see was how similar the
post-change image was compared to the pre-change image, so the
natural definition of similarity is how much common things are
there, relative to the post-change image's size.
An earlier commit 8098a178b26dc7a158d129a092a5b78da6d12b72
accidentally lost race protection from git-commit command.
This commit reinstates it. When something else updates HEAD
pointer while you were editing your commit message, the command
would notice and abort the commit.
The new flag is used to amend the tip of the current branch. Prepare
the tree object you would want to replace the latest commit as usual
(this includes the usual -i/-o and explicit paths), and the commit log
editor is seeded with the commit message from the tip of the current
branch. The commit you create replaces the current tip -- if it was a
merge, it will have the parents of the current tip as parents -- so the
current top commit is discarded.
It is a rough equivalent for:
$ git reset --soft HEAD^
$ ... do something else to come up with the right tree ...
$ git commit -c ORIG_HEAD
This adds a new flag, --topics, to help managing topic
branches. When you have topic branches forked some time ago
from your primary line of development, show-branch would show
many "uninteresting" things that happend on the primary line of
development when trying to see what are still not merged from
the topic branches.
With this flag, the first ref given to show-branch is taken as
the primary branch, and the rest are taken as the topic
branches. Output from the command is modified so that commits
only on the primary branch are not shown. In other words,
GIT-VERSION-GEN: squelch unneeded error from "cat version"
Now this is really a corner case, but if you have the git source
tree from somewhere other than the official tarball, you do not
have version file. And if git-describe does not work for you
(maybe you do not have git yet), we spilled an error message
from "cat version".
setup_revisions(): handle -n<n> and -<n> internally.
This moves the handling of max-count shorthand from the internal
implementation of "git log" to setup_revisions() so other users
of setup_revisions() can use it.
Here is an updated version of git-blame. The main changes compared to
the first version are:
* Use the new revision.h interface to do the revision walking
* Do the right thing in a lot of more cases than before. In particular
parallel development tracks are hopefully handled sanely.
* Lots of clean-up
I think git-blame is correct in this case. This patterns occur in
several other places, git-annotate seems to sometimes assign lines to
merge commits when the lines actually changed in some other commit
which precedes the merge.

contrib/git-svn: use refs/remotes/git-svn instead of git-svn-HEAD
After reading a lengthy discussion on the list, I've come to the
conclusion that creating a 'remotes' directory in refs isn't
such a bad idea.
You can still branch from it by specifying remotes/git-svn (not
needing the leading 'refs/'), and the documentation has been
updated to reflect that.
The 'git-svn' part of the ref can of course be set to whatever
you want by using the GIT_SVN_ID environment variable, as
before.
I'm using refs/remotes/git-svn, and not going with something
like refs/remotes/git-svn/HEAD as it's redundant for Subversion
where there's zero distinction between branches and directories.
Run git-svn rebuild --upgrade to upgrade your repository to use
the new head. git-svn-HEAD must be manually deleted for safety
reasons.
Side note: if you ever (and I hope you never) want to run
git-update-refs on a 'remotes/' ref, make sure you have the
'refs/' prefix as you don't want to be clobbering your
'remotes/' in $GIT_DIR (where remote URLs are stored).

diff-delta: allow reusing of the reference buffer index
When a reference buffer is used multiple times then its index can be

pointer to a pointer argument (from_index) to diff_delta() for this.
If from_index is NULL then everything is like before.
If from_index is non NULL and *from_index is NULL then the index is
created and its location stored to *from_index. In this case the caller
has the responsibility to free the memory pointed to by *from_index.
If from_index and *from_index are non NULL then the index is reused as
is.
This currently saves about 10% of CPU time to repack the git archive.

diff-delta: bound hash list length to avoid O(m*n) behavior
The diff-delta code can exhibit O(m*n) behavior with some patological
data set where most hash entries end up in the same hash bucket.
The latest code rework reduced the block size making it particularly
vulnerable to this issue, but the issue was always there and can be
triggered regardless of the block size.
This patch does two things:
1) the hashing has been reworked to offer a better distribution to
atenuate the problem a bit, and
2) a limit is imposed to the number of entries that can exist in the
same hash bucket.
Because of the above the code is a bit more expensive on average, but
the problematic samples used to diagnoze the issue are now orders of
magnitude less expensive to process with only a slight loss in
compression.

Indexing based on adler32 has a match precision based on the block size
(currently 16). Lowering the block size would produce smaller deltas
but the indexing memory and computing cost increases significantly.
For optimal delta result the indexing block size should be 3 with an
increment of 1 (instead of 16 and 16). With such low params the adler32
becomes a clear overhead increasing the time for git-repack by a factor
of 3. And with such small blocks the adler 32 is not very useful as the
whole of the block bits can be used directly.
This patch replaces the adler32 with an open coded index value based on
3 characters directly. This gives sufficient bits for hashing and
allows for optimal delta with reasonable CPU cycles.
The resulting packs are 6% smaller on average. The increase in CPU time
is about 25%. But this cost is now hidden by the delta reuse patch
while the saving on data transfers is always there.

Moving a directory ending in a slash was not working as the

diffcore-break: micro-optimize by avoiding delta between identical files.
We did not check if we have the same file on both sides when
computing break score. This is usually not a problem, but if
the user said --find-copies-harde with -B, we ended up trying a
delta between the same data even when we know the SHA1 hash of
both sides match.
This ports the following options from rev-list based git-log
implementation:
* -<n>, -n<n>, and -n <n>. I am still wondering if we want
this natively supported by setup_revisions(), which already
takes --max-count. We may want to move them in the next
round. Also I am not sure if we can get away with not
setting revs->limited when we set max-count. The latest
rev-list.c and revision.c in this series do not, so I left
them as they are.
* --pretty and --pretty=<fmt>.
* --abbrev=<n> and --no-abbrev.
The previous commit already handles time-based limiters
(--since, --until and friends). The remaining things that
rev-list based git-log happens to do are not useful in a pure
log-viewing purposes, and not ported:
* --bisect (obviously).
* --header. I am actually in favor of doing the NUL
terminated record format, but rev-list based one always
passed --pretty, which defeated this option. Maybe next
round.
* --parents. I do not think of a reason a log viewer wants
this. The flag is primarily for feeding squashed history
via pipe to downstream tools.

Originally Martin's tree was based on "next", which meant that all
the other things that I am not ready to push out to "master" were
contained in it. His changes looked good, and I wanted to have them
in "master".
So, here is what I did:
- fetch Martin's tree into a temporary topic branch.
$ git fetch $URL $remote:ml/cvsserver
$ git checkout ml/cvsserver
- rebase it on top of "master".
$ git rebase --onto master next
- pull that master into "next", recording Martin's head as well.
$ git pull --append . master
Since I have apply.whitespace=strip in my configuration file, the
rebased cvsserver changes have trailing whitespaces introduced by
Martin's tree cleansed out. Hence the above conflicts.
The reason I made this octopus is to make sure that next time Martin
pulls from my "next" branch, it results in a fast forward. There is
no reason to force him do the same conflict resolution I did with this
merge.
Teach git-checkout-index to read filenames from stdin.
Since git-checkout-index is often used from scripts which
may have a stream of filenames they wish to checkout it is
more convenient to use --stdin than xargs. On platforms
where fork performance is currently sub-optimal and
the length of a command line is limited (*cough* Cygwin
*cough*) running a single git-checkout-index process for
a large number of files beats spawning it multiple times
from xargs.
File names are still accepted on the command line if
--stdin is not supplied. Nothing is performed if no files
are supplied on the command line or by stdin.

Andrew insists --whitespace=warn should be the default, and I
tend to agree. This introduces --whitespace=warn, so if your
project policy is more lenient, you can squelch them by having
apply.whitespace=nowarn in your configuration file.
The new configuration option apply.whitespace can take one of
"warn", "error", "error-all", or "strip". When git-apply is run
to apply the patch to the index, they are used as the default
value if there is no command line --whitespace option.
Andrew can now tell people who feed him git trees to update to
this version and say:
apply: squelch excessive errors and --whitespace=error-all
This by default makes --whitespace=warn, error, and strip to
warn only the first 5 additions of trailing whitespaces. A new
option --whitespace=error-all can be used to view all of them
before applying.
In addition to fixing obvious command line parsing bugs in the
previous round, this changes the following:
* Adds "--whitespace=strip". This applies after stripping the
new trailing whitespaces introduced to the patch.
* The output error message format is changed to say
"patch-filename:linenumber:contents of the line". This makes
it similar to typical compiler error message format, and
helps C-x ` (next-error) in Emacs compilation buffer.
* --whitespace=error and --whitespace=warn do not stop at the
first error. We might want to limit the output to say first
20 such lines to prevent cluttering, but on the other hand if
you are willing to hand-fix after inspecting them, getting
everything with a single run might be easier to work with.
After all, somebody has to do the clean-up work somewhere.

This doesn't do the "strip-then-apply" thing, but it allows you to make
git-apply generate a warning or error on extraneous whitespace.
Use --whitespace=warn to warn, and (surprise, surprise) --whitespace=error
to make it a fatal error to have whitespace at the end.
Totally untested, of course. But it compiles, so it must be fine.
HOWEVER! Note that this literally will check every single patch-line with
"+" at the beginning. Which means that if you fix a simple typo, and the
line had a space at the end before, and you didn't remove it, that's still
considered a "new line with whitespace at the end", even though obviously
the line wasn't really new.
I assume this is what you wanted, and there isn't really any sane
alternatives (you could make the warning activate only for _pure_
additions with no deletions at all in that hunk, but that sounds a bit
insane).
