With "--prefix=<path>/" option, read-tree keeps the current
index contents, and reads the contents of named tree-ish under
directory at `<prefix>`. The original index file cannot have
anything at the path `<prefix>` itself, and have nothing in
`<prefix>/` directory. This can be used to graft an
independent tree into a subdirectory of the current index.
read-tree: teach 1-way merege and plain read to prime cache-tree.
This teaches read-tree to fully populate valid cache-tree when
reading a tree from scratch, or reading a single tree into an
existing index, reusing only the cached stat information (i.e.
one-way merge). We have already taught update-index about cache-tree,
so "git checkout" followed by updates to a few path followed by
a "git commit" would become very efficient.
read-tree: teach 1 and 2 way merges about cache-tree.
This teaches one-way and two-way "read-tree -m" (and its special
form, "read-tree --reset" as well) not to discard cache-tree but
invalidate only the changed parts of the tree. When switching
between related branches, this helps the eventual commit
(i.e. write-tree) by keeping cache-tree valid as much as
possible.
This does not prime cache-tree yet, but we ought to be able to
do that for no-merge (i.e. reading from a tree object) case and,
and also perhaps 1 way merge case.
With this patch applied, switching between the tip of Linux 2.6
kernel tree and a branch that touches one path (fs/ext3/Makefile)
from it invalidates only 3 paths out of 1201 cache-tree entries
in the index, and subsequent write-tree takes about a half as
much time as before.

There is no point reading the whole object just to make sure it exists and
it is of the expected type. We added sha1_object_info() for such need
after this code was written, so use it.
When we are in a subdirectory of a git archive, we need to take the prefix
of that subdirectory into accoung when we verify filename arguments.

This also uses the improved error reporting for all the other git commands
that use the revision parsing interfaces, not just git-rev-parse. Also, it
makes the error reporting for mixed filenames and argument flags clearer
(you cannot put flags after the start of the pathname list).

Note that this is not to encourage funky things like this:
When we updated ls-tree recursive output to omit the tree nodes, 246cc52f388cae8ca99e5a12b8458c9bfa467765 adjusted the old test
so that we do not expect to see trees in its output. Later,
with 0f8f45cb4a7e664b396f73c25891da46b953b8b8, we added back the
ability to show both with -t option, but we forgot to update the
test as well.
Makefile: remove and create libgit.a from scratch.
Foolishly I renamed diff.o around which caused an old diff.o
taken out of libgit.a and got linked into resulting binary and
exhibited mysterious breakage for many people. This borrows
from the kernel Makefile (scripts/Makefile.build) to first remove
the target and then recreate.
Not that this makes practical performance difference; the kernel tree
for example has 200 or so directories that have subdirectory, and the
largest ones have 57 of them (fs and drivers). With a test to apply
600 patches with git-apply and git-write-tree, this did not make more
than one per-cent of a difference, but it is a good cleanup.
The set_reuse_addr() error case was the only error case in
socklist() where we returned rather than continued. Not sure
why. Either we must free the socklist, or continue. This patch

(cherry picked from 0032d548db56eac9ea09b4ba05843365f6325b85 commit)
This patch adds a Documentation/config.txt file included by git-repo-config
and currently aggregating hopefully all the available git plumbing / core
porcelain configuration variables, as well as briefly describing the format.
It also updates an outdated bit of the example in git-repo-config(1).
rev-parse: better error message for ambiguous arguments
Currently, if git-rev-parse encounters an argument that is neither a
recognizable revision name nor the name of an existing file or
directory, and it hasn't encountered a "--" argument, it prints an
error message saying "No such file or directory". This can be
confusing for users, including users of programs such as gitk that
use git-rev-parse, who may then think that they can't ask about the
history of files that no longer exist.
This makes it print a better error message, one that points out the
ambiguity and tells the user what to do to fix it.
We reused the cache-tree data without verifying the tree object
still exists. Recompute in cache_tree_update() an otherwise
valid cache-tree entry when the tree object disappeared.
This is not usually a problem, but theoretically without this
fix things can break when the user does something like this:
- read-index from a side branch
- write-tree the result
- remove the side branch with "git branch -D"
- remove the unreachable objects with "git prune"
- write-tree what is in the index.
Invalidate cache-tree entries for touched paths in git-apply.
This updates git-apply to maintain cache-tree information. With
this and the previous write-tree patch, repeated "apply --index"
followed by "write-tree" on a huge tree will hopefully become
faster.
The updated write-tree reads from $GIT_DIR/index.aux to pick up
subtree objects information, updates the cache-tree with the
index, and updates index.aux file after writing a tree out of
the index file.
Until update-index and other programs that modify the index are
updated to maintain index.aux file, the index.aux file written
by the last write-tree will become stale immediately after they
update the index, which will result in the whole tree
recomputation just like the original write-tree.
The idea is to convert those commands to invalidate cache-tree
whenever they touch the index entries, and write updated
index.aux out. After the index is updated with them, write-tree
will be able to reuse the parts of the cache-tree that have not
been touched.
The cache_tree data structure is to cache tree object names that
would result from the current index file.
The idea is to have an optional file to record each tree object
name that corresponds to a directory path in the cache when we
run write_cache(), and read it back when we run read_cache().
During various index manupulations, we selectively invalidate
the parts so that the next write-tree can bypass regenerating
tree objects for unchanged parts of the directory hierarchy.
We could perhaps make the cache-tree data an optional part of
the index file, but that would involve the index format updates,
so unless we need it for performance reasons, the current plan
is to use a separate file, $GIT_DIR/index.aux to store this
information and link it with the index file with the checksum
that is already used for index file integrity check.
gitk: Let git-rev-list do the argument list parsing
This is a fix for a problem reported by Jim Radford where an argument
list somewhere overflows on repositories with lots of tags. In fact
it's now unnecessary to use git-rev-parse since git-rev-list can take
all the arguments that git-rev-parse can. This is inspired by but not
the same as the solutions suggested by Jim Radford and Linus Torvalds.
make update-index --chmod work with multiple files and --stdin
The patch makes "--chmod=-x" and "--chmod=+x" act like "--add"
and "--remove" to affect the behaviour of the command for the
rest of the path parameters, not just the following one.
The second installment to libify diff brothers. The pathname
arguments are checked more strictly than before because we now
use the revision.c::setup_revisions() infrastructure.
This is the first installment to libify diff brothers.
The updated diff-files uses revision.c::setup_revisions()
infrastructure to parse its command line arguments, which means
the pathname arguments are checked more strictly than before.
The tests are adjusted to separate possibly missing paths from
the rest of arguments with double-dashes, to show the kosher
way.
As Linus pointed out, renaming diff.c to diff-lib.c was simply
stupid, so I am renaming it back. The new diff-lib.c is to
contain pieces extracted from diff brothers.
I hacked it up to teach it the git extended diff headers, made
it not to read the whole patch in the array.
Also, the original program, when arguments are given, ran "diff"
with the given arguments and showed the output from it. Of
course, I changed it to run "git diff" ;-).
Split up builtin commands into separate files from git.c
Right now it split it into "builtin-log.c" for log-related commands
("log", "show" and "whatchanged"), and "builtin-help.c" for the
informational commands (usage printing and "help" and "version").
This just makes things easier to read, I find.

Because we sort the delta window by name-hash and then size,
hitting an object that is too small to consider as a delta base
for the current object does not mean we do not have better

Noticed by Shawn Pearce, analyzed by Nico, Linus and me.
When running "git commit --amend" only to fix the commit log
message without any content change, we mistakenly showed the
git-status output that says "nothing to commit" without
commenting it out.
If you have already run update-index but you want to amend the
top commit, "git commit --amend --only" without any paths should
have worked, because --only means "starting from the base
commit, update-index these paths only to prepare the index to
commit, and perform the commit". However, we refused -o without
paths.
When a verbatim rename or copy is detected, we did not show
anything on the "diff --stat" for the filepair. This makes it
to show the rename information.
This is an attempt to address the issue raised on #git channel
recently by Carl Worth.
After a conflicted automerge, "git diff" shows a combined diff
to give you how the tentative automerge result differs from
what came from each branch. During a complex merge, it is
tempting to be able to resolve a few paths at a time, mark
them "I've dealt with them" with git-update-index to unclutter
the next "git diff" output, and keep going. However, when the
final result does not compile or otherwise found to be a
mismerge, the workflow to fix the mismerged paths suddenly
changes to "git diff HEAD -- path" (to get a diff from our
HEAD before merging) and "git diff MERGE_HEAD -- path" (to get
a diff from theirs), and it cannot show the combined anymore.
With git-unresolve <paths>..., the versions from our branch and
their branch for specified blobs are placed in stage #2 and
stage #3, without touching the working tree files. This gives
you the combined diff back for easier review, along with
"diff --ours" and "diff --theirs".
One thing it does not do is to place the base in stage #1; this
means "diff --base" would behave differently between the run
immediately after a conflicted three-way merge, and the run
after an update-index by mistake followed by a git-unresolve.
We could theoretically run merge-base between HEAD and
MERGE_HEAD to find which tree to place in stage #1, but
reviewing "diff --base" is not that useful so....
* lt/xsha1:
get_tree_entry(): make it available from tree-walk
sha1_name.c: no need to include diff.h; tree-walk.h will do.
sha1_name.c: prepare to make get_tree_entry() reusable from others.
get_sha1() shorthands for blob/tree objects
Several <<< or === or >>> characters at the beginning of a line
is very likely to be leftover conflict markers from a failed
automerge the user resolved incorrectly, so detect them.
As usual, this can be defeated with "git commit --no-verify" if
you really do want to have those files, just like changes that
introduce trailing whitespaces.
We said "fix up by hand" after failed automerge, which was a big
"Huh? Now what?". Be a bit more explicit without being too
verbose. Suggested by Carl Worth.
I personally prefer "ignore_merges" to be on by default, because quite
often the merge diff is distracting and not interesting. That's true both
with "-p" and with "--stat" output.
If you want output from merges, you can trivially use the "-m", "-c" or
"--cc" flags to tell that you're interested in merges, which also tells
the diff generator what kind of diff to do (for --stat, any of the three
will do, of course, but they differ for plain patches or for
--patch-with-stat).
This trivial patch just removes the two lines that tells "git log" not to
ignore merges. It will still show the commit log message, of course, due
to the "always_show_header" part.

Allow "git repack" users to specify repacking window/depth
.. but don't even bother documenting it. I don't think any normal person

This is a fairly straightforward patch to allow "get_sha1()" to also have
shorthands for tree and blob objects.
The syntax is very simple and intuitive: you can specify a tree or a blob
by simply specifying <revision>:<path>, and get_sha1() will do the SHA1
lookup from the tree for you.
You can currently do it with "git ls-tree <rev> <path>" and parsing the
output, but that's actually pretty awkward.
With this, you can do something like
git cat-file blob v1.2.4:Makefile
to get the contents of "Makefile" at revision v1.2.4.
Now, this isn't necessarily something you really need all that often, but
the concept itself is actually pretty powerful. We could, for example,
allow things like
to see the difference between two arbitrary files in two arbitrary
revisions. To do that, the only thing we'd have to do is to make
git-diff-tree accept two blobs to diff, in addition to the two trees it
now expects.
When I unified the revision argument parsing, I introduced a simple bug
wrt tags that had been marked uninteresting. When it was preparing for the
revision walk, it would mark all the parent commits of an uninteresting
tag correctly uninteresting, but it would forget about the commit itself.
This means that when I just did my 2.6.17-rc2 release, and my scripts
generated the log for "v2.6.17-rc1..v2.6.17-rc2", everything was fine,
except the commit pointed to by 2.6.17-rc1 (which shouldn't have been
there) was included. Even though it should obviously have been marked as
being uninteresting.
Not a huge deal, and the fix is trivial.

combine-diff: show diffstat with the first parent.
Asking for stat (either with --stat or --patch-with-stat) gives
you diffstat for the first parent, even under combine-diff.
While the combined patch is useful to highlight the complexity
and interaction of the parts touched by all branches when
reviewing a merge commit, diffstat is a tool to assess the
extent of damage the merge brings in, and showing stat with the
first parent is more sensible than clever per-parent diffstat.
This option is very special, since pretty_print_commit() will _remove_
the newline at the end of it, so we want to have an extra separator
between the things.
I added a honking big comment this time, so that (a) I don't forget this
_again_ (I broke "oneline" several times during this printout cleanup),
and so that people can understand _why_ the code does what it does.
Now, arguably the alternate fix is to always have the '\n' at the end in
pretty-print-commit, but git-rev-list depends on the current behaviour
(but we could have git-rev-list remove it, whatever).
With the big comment, the code hopefully doesn't get broken again. And now
things like
git log --pretty=oneline --cc --patch-with-stat
works (even if that is admittedly a totally insane combination: if you
want the patch, having the "oneline" log format is just crazy, but hey,
it _works_. Even insane people are people).
Here's a further patch on top of the previous one with cosmetic
improvements (no "real" code changes, just trivial updates):
- it gets the "---" before a diffstat right, including for the combined
merge case. Righ now the logic is that we always use "---" when we have
a diffstat, and an empty line otherwise. That's how I visually prefer
it, but hey, it can be tweaked later.
- I made "diff --cc/combined" add the "---/+++" header lines too. The
thing won't be mistaken for a valid diff, since the "@@" lines have too
many "@" characters (three or more), but it just makes it visually
match a real diff, which at least to me makes a big difference in
readability. Without them, it just looks very "wrong".
I guess I should have taken the filename from each individual entry
(and had one "---" file per parent), but I didn't even bother to try to
see how that works, so this was the simple thing.
With this, doing a
git log --cc --patch-with-stat
looks quite readable, I think. The only nagging issue - as far as I'm
concerned - is that diffstats for merges are pretty questionable the way
they are done now. I suspect it would be better to just have the _first_
diffstat, and always make the merge diffstat be the one for "result
against first parent".

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.
The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like
if (rev->logopt)
show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");
but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.
That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:
so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.
I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.
This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.
