Generalize and libify index_is_dirty() to index_differs_from(...)

2009-02-11T06:25:39Z

index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty. This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0). The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h for a list. index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c, so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c. Yet to mention: - "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed. This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index(). - rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

lstat_cache(): swap func(length, string) into func(string, length)

2009-02-10T04:59:26Z

Swap function argument pair (length, string) into (string, length) to conform with the commonly used order inside the GIT source code. Also, add a note about this fact into the coding guidelines. Signed-off-by: Kjetil Barvik Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Cleanup of unused symcache variable inside diff-lib.c

2009-01-11T23:56:55Z

Commit c40641b77b0274186fd1b327d5dc3246f814aaaf, 'Optimize symlink/directory detection' by Linus Torvalds, removed the 'char *symcache' parameter to the has_symlink_leading_path() function. This made all variables currently named 'symcache' inside diff-lib.c unnecessary. This also let us throw away the 'struct oneway_unpack_data', and instead directly use the 'struct rev_info *revs' member, which was the only member left after removal of the 'symcache[] array' member. The 'struct oneway_unpack_data' was introduced by the following commit: 948dd346 "diff-files: careful when inspecting work tree items" Impact: cleanup PATH_MAX bytes less memory stack usage in some cases Signed-off-by: Kjetil Barvik Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared

2008-08-31T03:53:24Z

With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/". Hopefully this will make the distinction stand out for some people. "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree; "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree; "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex; "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity; "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2). Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse diff is in effect and this feature is enabled. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Fix buffer overflow in git diff

If PATH_MAX on your system is smaller than a path stored, it may cause buffer overflow and stack corruption in diff_addremove() and diff_change() functions when running git-diff Signed-off-by: Dmitry Potapov Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

"git diff": do not ignore index without --no-index

2008-05-24T07:16:39Z

Even if "foo" and/or "bar" does not exist in index, "git diff foo bar" should not change behaviour drastically from "git diff foo bar baz" or "git diff foo". A feature that "sometimes works and is handy" is an unreliable cute hack. "git diff foo bar" outside a git repository continues to work as a more colourful alternative to "diff -u" as before.

Optimize symlink/directory detection

2008-05-11T01:16:31Z

This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname saner and (much) more efficient. Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an 'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a normal path component. The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a real directory. This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index. [ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index revalidation. We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation, ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the directory cache). But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old 'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
