Merge branch 'nd/no-the-index'

2018-08-20T18:33:53Z

The more library-ish parts of the codebase learned to work on the in-core index-state instance that is passed in by their callers, instead of always working on the singleton "the_index" instance. * nd/no-the-index: (24 commits) blame.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index apply.c: remove implicit dependency on the_index apply.c: make init_apply_state() take a struct repository apply.c: pass struct apply_state to more functions resolve-undo.c: use the right index instead of the_index archive-*.c: use the right repository archive.c: avoid access to the_index grep: use the right index instead of the_index attr: remove index from git_attr_set_direction() entry.c: use the right index instead of the_index submodule.c: use the right index instead of the_index pathspec.c: use the right index instead of the_index unpack-trees: avoid the_index in verify_absent() unpack-trees: convert clear_ce_flags* to avoid the_index unpack-trees: don't shadow global var the_index unpack-trees: add a note about path invalidation unpack-trees: remove 'extern' on function declaration ls-files: correct index argument to get_convert_attr_ascii() preload-index.c: use the right index instead of the_index dir.c: remove an implicit dependency on the_index in pathspec code ...

Merge branch 'es/diff-color-moved-fix'

2018-08-15T22:08:22Z

One of the "diff --color-moved" mode "dimmed_zebra" that was named in an unusual way has been deprecated and replaced by "dimmed-zebra". * es/diff-color-moved-fix: diff: --color-moved: rename "dimmed_zebra" to "dimmed-zebra"

convert.c: remove an implicit dependency on the_index

2018-08-13T21:14:42Z

Make the convert API take an index_state instead of assuming the_index in convert.c. All external call sites are converted blindly to keep the patch simple and retain current behavior. Individual call sites may receive further updates to use the right index instead of the_index. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff.c: move read_index() code back to the caller

2018-08-13T21:14:42Z

This code is only needed for diff-tree (since f0c6b2a2fd ([PATCH] Optimize diff-tree -[CM] --stdin - 2005-05-27)). Let the caller do the preparation instead and avoid read_index() in diff.c code. read_index() should be avoided (in addition to the_index) because it uses get_index_file() underneath to get the path $GIT_DIR/index. This effectively pulls the_repository in and may become the only reason to pull a 'struct repository *' in diff.c. Let's keep the dependencies as few as possible and kick it back to diff-tree.c Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

range-diff: use dim/bold cues to improve dual color mode

2018-08-13T17:44:52Z

It *is* a confusing thing to look at a diff of diffs. All too easy is it to mix up whether the -/+ markers refer to the "inner" or the "outer" diff, i.e. whether a `+` indicates that a line was added by either the old or the new diff (or both), or whether the new diff does something different than the old diff. To make things easier to process for normal developers, we introduced the dual color mode which colors the lines according to the commit diff, i.e. lines that are added by a commit (whether old, new, or both) are colored in green. In non-dual color mode, the lines would be colored according to the outer diff: if the old commit added a line, it would be colored red (because that line addition is only present in the first commit range that was specified on the command-line, i.e. the "old" commit, but not in the second commit range, i.e. the "new" commit). However, this dual color mode is still not making things clear enough, as we are looking at two levels of diffs, and we still only pick a color according to *one* of them (the outer diff marker is colored differently, of course, but in particular with deep indentation, it is easy to lose track of that outer diff marker's background color). Therefore, let's add another dimension to the mix. Still use green/red/normal according to the commit diffs, but now also dim the lines that were only in the old commit, and use bold face for the lines that are only in the new commit. That way, it is much easier not to lose track of, say, when we are looking at a line that was added in the previous iteration of a patch series but the new iteration adds a slightly different version: the obsolete change will be dimmed, the current version of the patch will be bold. At least this developer has a much easier time reading the range-diffs that way. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

range-diff --dual-color: skip white-space warnings

2018-08-13T17:44:51Z

When displaying a diff of diffs, it is possible that there is an outer `+` before a context line. That happens when the context changed between old and new commit. When that context line starts with a tab (after the space that marks it as context line), our diff machinery spits out a white-space error (space before tab), but in this case, that is incorrect. Rather than adding a specific whitespace flag that specifically ignores the first space in the output (and might miss other problems with the white-space warnings), let's just skip handling white-space errors in dual color mode to begin with.

diff: add an internal option to dual-color diffs of diffs

2018-08-13T17:44:51Z

When diffing diffs, it can be quite daunting to figure out what the heck is going on, as there are nested +/- signs. Let's make this easier by adding a flag in diff_options that allows color-coding the outer diff sign with inverted colors, so that the preimage and postimage is colored like the diff it is. Of course, this really only makes sense when the preimage and postimage *are* diffs. So let's not expose this flag via a command-line option for now. This is a feature that was invented by git-tbdiff, and it will be used by `git range-diff` in the next commit, by offering it via a new option: `--dual-color`.

range-diff: suppress the diff headers

2018-08-13T17:44:51Z

When showing the diff between corresponding patches of the two branch versions, we have to make up a fake filename to run the diff machinery. That filename does not carry any meaningful information, hence tbdiff suppresses it. So we should, too. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
