builtin-grep: workaround for non GNU grep.Junio C Hamano Wed, 17 May 2006 09:48:13 +0000 (02:48 -0700)

builtin-grep: workaround for non GNU grep.

Some implementations do not know what to do with -H; define
NO_H_OPTION_IN_GREP when you build git if your grep lacks -H.

Most of the time, it can be worked around by prepending
/dev/null to the argument list, but that causes -L and -c to
slightly misbehave (they both expose /dev/null is given), so
when these options are given, do not run external grep that does
not understand -H.

Clean up git-ls-file directory walking library interfaceLinus Torvalds Wed, 17 May 2006 02:46:16 +0000 (19:46 -0700)

Clean up git-ls-file directory walking library interface

This moves the code to add the per-directory ignore files for the base
directory into the library routine.

That not only allows us to turn the function push_exclude_per_directory()
static again, it also simplifies the library interface a lot (the caller
no longer needs to worry about any of the per-directory exclude files at
all).

libify git-ls-files directory traversal

This moves the core directory traversal and filename exclusion logic
into the general git library, making it available for other users
directly.

If we ever want to do "git commit" or "git add" as a built-in (and we
do), we want to be able to handle most of git-ls-files as a library.

NOTE! Not all of git-ls-files is libified by this. The index matching
and pathspec prefix calculation is still in ls-files.c, but this is a

When a merge results in a creation of a path that did not exist

read-tree happily removes it. The issue was brought up by Santi

Avoid creating a delta index for objects with maximum depth since they
are not going to be used as delta base anyway. This also reduce peak

simple euristic for further free packing improvementsNicolas Pitre Mon, 15 May 2006 15:40:05 +0000 (11:40 -0400)

simple euristic for further free packing improvements

Given that the early eviction of objects with maximum delta depth
may exhibit bad packing on its own, why not considering a bias against
deep base objects in try_delta() to mitigate that bad behavior.

This patch adjust the MAX_size allowed for a delta based on the depth of
the base object as well as enabling the early eviction of max depth
objects from the object window. When used separately, those two things
produce slightly better and much worse results respectively. But their
combined effect is a surprising significant packing improvement.

With this really simple patch the GIT repo gets nearly 15% smaller, and
the Linux kernel repo about 5% smaller, with no significantly measurable
CPU usage difference.

read-tree -u one-way merge fix to check out locally modified paths.

The "-u" flag means "update the working tree files", but to
other types of merges, it also implies "I want to keep my local
changes" -- because they prevent local changes from getting lost
by using verify_uptodate. The one-way merge is different from
other merges in that its purpose is opposite of doing something
else while keeping unrelated local changes. The point of
one-way merge is to nuke local changes. So while it feels
somewhat wrong that this actively loses local changes, it is the
right thing to do.

builtin-grep: use external grep when we can take advantage of it

It's not perfect, but it gets the "git grep some-random-string" down to
the good old half-a-second range for the kernel.

It should convert more of the argument flags for "grep", that should be
trivial to expand (I did a few just as an example). It should also bother
to try to return the right "hit" value (which it doesn't, right now - the
code is kind of there, but I didn't actually bother to do it _right_).

Also, right now it _just_ limits by number of arguments, but it should
also strictly speaking limit by total argument size (ie add up the length
of the filenames, and do the "exec_grep()" flush call if it's bigger than
some random value like 32kB).

But I think that it's _conceptually_ doing all the right things, and it
seems to work. So maybe somebody else can do some of the final polish.

Simplify "git reset --hard"

Now that the one-way merge strategy does the right thing wrt files that do
not exist in the result, just remove all the random crud we did in "git
reset" to do this all by hand.

Instead, just pass in "-u" to git-read-tree when we do a hard reset, and
depend on git-read-tree to update the working tree appropriately.

This basically means that git reset turns into

# Always update the HEAD ref
git update-ref HEAD "$rev"

case "--soft"
# do nothing to index/working tree
case "--hard"
# read index _and_ update working tree
git-read-tree --reset -u "$rev"
case "--mixed"
# update just index, report on working tree differences
git-read-tree --reset "$rev"
git-update-index --refresh

which is what it was always semantically doing, it just did it in a
rather strange way because it was written to not expect git-read-tree to
do anything to the working tree.

We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as
part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u").

This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric
argument. So now you can just say

git diff --unified=5

to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do
something silly like

GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u

(that silly format does continue to still work, of course).

git config syntax updatesLinus Torvalds Tue, 9 May 2006 19:24:02 +0000 (12:24 -0700)

git config syntax updates

This updates the hierarchical section name syntax to

[section<space>+"<randomstring>"]

where the only rule for "randomstring" is that it can't contain a newline,
and if you really want to insert a double-quote, you do it with \".

It turns that into the section name "secion.randomstring". The
"section" part is still case insensitive, but the "randomstring"
part is case sensitive.

So you could use this for things like

[email "torvalds@osdl.org"]
name = Linus Torvalds

if you wanted to do the "email->name" conversion as part of the config
file format (I'm not claiming that is sensible, I'm just giving it as an
insane example). That would show up as the association

email.torvalds@osdl.org.name -> Linus Torvalds

which is easy to parse (the "." in the email _looks_ ambiguous, but it
isn't: you know that there will always be a single key-name, so you find
the key name with "strrchr(name, '.')" and things are entirely
unambiguous).

Repo-config is updated to be able to parse the new format, and also
write things out in the new format.

[jc: rolled two patches from Linus and one fix-up from Sean into one,
with additional adjustments for t/t1300 test to check the case
insensitiveness of section base and variable and case sensitiveness
of the extended section part. Then stripped some part off to make
the result applicable to the stale 1.3.X series that does not have
recent enhancements. ]

Another config file parsing fix.sean Sat, 6 May 2006 18:14:02 +0000 (14:14 -0400)

Another config file parsing fix.

If the variable we need to store should go into a section
that currently only has a single variable (not matching
the one we're trying to insert), we will already be into
the next section before we notice we've bypassed the correct
location to insert the variable.

To handle this case we store the current location as soon
as we find a variable matching the section of our new
variable.

This breakage was brought up by Linus.

Fix git-pack-objects for 64-bit platformsDennis Stosberg Thu, 11 May 2006 17:36:32 +0000 (19:36 +0200)

Fix git-pack-objects for 64-bit platforms

The offset of an object in the pack is recorded as a 4-byte integer
in the index file. When reading the offset from the mmap'ed index
in prepare_pack_revindex(), the address is dereferenced as a long*.
This works fine as long as the long type is four bytes wide. On
NetBSD/sparc64, however, a long is 8 bytes wide and so dereferencing
the offset produces garbage.

builtin-grep: tighten argument parsing.Junio C Hamano Tue, 9 May 2006 06:55:47 +0000 (23:55 -0700)

builtin-grep: tighten argument parsing.

I mistyped

git grep next -e '"^@"' '*.c'

and got many hits that contain "next" without complaint.
Obviously what I meant to say was:

git grep -e '"^@"' next -- '*.c'

This tightens the argument parsing rule a bit:

- All "grep" parameters should come first;

- If there is no -e nor -f to specify pattern, the first non
option string is the parameter;

- After that, zero or more revs can follow.

- An optional '--' can be present, and is skipped.

- All the rest are pathspecs. If '--' was not there, they must
be paths that exist in the working tree.

Fix "git diff --stat" with long filenamesLinus Torvalds Mon, 8 May 2006 16:46:53 +0000 (09:46 -0700)

Fix "git diff --stat" with long filenames

When we cut off the front of a filename to make it fit on the line, we add
a "..." in front. However, the way the "git diff" code was written, we
will never reset the prefix back to the empty string, so every single
filename afterwards will have the "..." prefix, whether appropriate or
not.

You can see this with "git diff v2.6.16.." on the current kernel tree,
since there are filenames with long names that changed there:

[ snip snip ]
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt | 229
.../firmware_class/firmware_sample_driver.c | 3
.../firmware_sample_firmware_class.c | 1
...Documentation/fujitsu/frv/kernel-ABI.txt | 192
...Documentation/hwmon/w83627hf | 4
[ snip snip ]

notice how the two Documentation/firmware** filenames caused the "..." to
be added, but then the later filenames don't want it, and it also screws
up the alignment of the line numbering afterwards.

Trivially fixed by moving the declaration (and initial setting) of the
"prefix" variable into the for-loop where it is used.

* Modified argsfromdir() so it is "always" called. This means that when the client specifies a directory, the method can detect this and behave accordingly (this is currently only implemented for the '.' directory)
