* Merge branch 'js/range-diff-diff-merges'Junio C Hamano2024-12-231-0/+12

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just like `git log`, now also `git range-diff` has that option as a shortcut for the common operation that would otherwise require the quite unwieldy (if theoretically "more correct") `--diff-mode=remerge` option.

| * range-diff: optionally include merge commits' diffs in the analysisJohannes Schindelin2024-12-161-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `git log` command already offers support for including diffs for merges, via the `--diff-merges=<format>` option. Let's add corresponding support for `git range-diff`, too. This makes it more convenient to spot differences between commit ranges that contain merges. This is especially true in scenarios with non-trivial merges, i.e. merges introducing changes other than, or in addition to, what merge ORT would have produced. Merging a topic branch that changes a function signature into a branch that added a caller of that function, for example, would require the merge commit itself to adjust that caller to the modified signature. In my code reviews, I found the `--diff-merges=remerge` option particularly useful. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* | diff.h: fix index used to loop through unsigned integerPatrick Steinhardt2024-12-061-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `struct diff_flags` structure is essentially an array of flags, all of which have the same type. We can thus use `sizeof()` to iterate through all of the flags, which we do in `diff_flags_or()`. But while the statement returns an unsigned integer, we used a signed integer to iterate through the flags, which generates a warning. Fix this by using `size_t` for the index instead.

* range-diff: optionally accept pathspecsJohannes Schindelin2022-08-261-15/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `git range-diff` command can be quite expensive, which is not a surprise given that the underlying algorithm to match up pairs of commits between the provided two commit ranges has a cubic runtime. Therefore it makes sense to restrict the commit ranges as much as possible, to reduce the amount of input to that O(N^3) algorithm. In chatty repositories with wide trees, this is not necessarily possible merely by choosing commit ranges wisely. Let's give users another option to restrict the commit ranges: by providing a pathspec. That helps in repositories with wide trees because it is likely that the user has a good idea which subset of the tree they are actually interested in. Example: git range-diff upstream/main upstream/seen HEAD -- range-diff.c This shows commits that are either in the local branch or in `seen`, but not in `main`, skipping all commits that do not touch `range-diff.c`. Note: Since we piggy-back the pathspecs onto the `other_arg` mechanism that was introduced to be able to pass through the `--notes` option to the revision machinery, we must now ensure that the `other_arg` array is appended at the end (the revision range must come before the pathspecs, if any).

* range-diff: reorder argument handlingJohannes Schindelin2022-08-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In d9c66f0b5bf (range-diff: first rudimentary implementation, 2018-08-13), we introduced the argument handling of the `range-diff` command, special-casing three different stanzas based on the argument count. The somewhat unorthodox order (first handling the case of 2 arguments, then 3, then 1) was chosen for clarity: the natural argument number is 2 because that is how many revision ranges are used internally. The code to handle three arguments is relatively trivial, so it was added next. And finally, the code to ungarble a single symmetric range into two separate ones was added, because it was the most complicated (the most inelegant part being about interpreting empty sides of the symmetric range as `HEAD`). In preparation for allowing pathspecs in `git range-diff` invocations, where we no longer have the luxury of using the number of arguments to disambiguate between these three different ways to specify the commit ranges, we need to order these cases by argument count, in descending order. This patch is best viewed with `--color-moved`. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* | range-diff/format-patch: refactor check for commit rangeJohannes Schindelin2021-01-281-4/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when called with exactly two arguments, `git range-diff` tests for a literal `..` in each of the two. Likewise, the argument provided via `--range-diff` to `git format-patch` is checked in the same manner. However, `<commit>^!` is a perfectly valid commit range, equivalent to `<commit>^..<commit>` according to the `SPECIFYING RANGES` section of gitrevisions[7]. In preparation for allowing more sophisticated ways to specify commit ranges, let's refactor the check into its own function.

* strvec: convert builtin/ callers away from argv_array nameJeff King2020-07-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We eventually want to drop the argv_array name and just use strvec consistently. There's no particular reason we have to do it all at once, or care about interactions between converted and unconverted bits. Because of our preprocessor compat layer, the names are interchangeable to the compiler (so even a definition and declaration using different names is OK). This patch converts all of the files in builtin/ to keep the diff to a manageable size. The conversion was done purely mechanically with: git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' | xargs perl -i -pe ' s/ARGV_ARRAY/STRVEC/g; s/argv_array/strvec/g; ' and then selectively staging files with "git add builtin/".

* builtin: consistently pass cmd_* prefix to parse_optionsJeff King2019-05-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a builtin uses RUN_SETUP to request that git.c enter the repository directory, we'll get passed in a "prefix" variable with the path to the original directory. It's important to pass this to parse_options(), since we may use it to fix up relative OPT_FILENAME() options. Some builtins don't bother; let's make sure we do so consistently. There may not be any particular bugs fixed here; OPT_FILENAME is actually pretty rare, and none of these commands use it directly. However, this does future-proof us against somebody adding an option that uses it and creating a subtle bug that only shows up when you're in a subdirectory of the repository. In some cases, like hash-object and upload-pack, we don't specify RUN_SETUP, so we know the prefix will always be empty. It's still worth passing the variable along to keep the idiom consistent across all builtins (and of course it protects us if they ever _did_ switch to using RUN_SETUP).

* range-diff: also show the diff between patchesJohannes Schindelin2018-08-131-2/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Just like tbdiff, we now show the diff between matching patches. This is a "diff of two diffs", so it can be a bit daunting to read for the beginner. An alternative would be to display an interdiff, i.e. the hypothetical diff which is the result of first reverting the old diff and then applying the new diff. Especially when rebasing frequently, an interdiff is often not feasible, though: if the old diff cannot be applied in reverse (due to a moving upstream), an interdiff can simply not be inferred. This commit brings `range-diff` closer to feature parity with regard to tbdiff. To make `git range-diff` respect e.g. color.diff.* settings, we have to adjust git_branch_config() accordingly. Note: while we now parse diff options such as --color, the effect is not yet the same as in tbdiff, where also the commit pairs would be colored. This is left for a later commit. Note also: while tbdiff accepts the `--no-patches` option to suppress these diffs between patches, we prefer the `-s` (or `--no-patch`) option that is automatically supported via our use of diff_opt_parse(). And finally note: to support diff options, we have to call `parse_options()` such that it keeps unknown options, and then loop over those and let `diff_opt_parse()` handle them. After that loop, we have to call `parse_options()` again, to make sure that no unknown options are left.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At this stage, `git range-diff` can determine corresponding commits of two related commit ranges. This makes use of the recently introduced implementation of the linear assignment algorithm. The core of this patch is a straight port of the ideas of tbdiff, the apparently dormant project at https://github.com/trast/tbdiff. The output does not at all match `tbdiff`'s output yet, as this patch really concentrates on getting the patch matching part right. Note: due to differences in the diff algorithm (`tbdiff` uses the Python module `difflib`, Git uses its xdiff fork), the cost matrix calculated by `range-diff` is different (but very similar) to the one calculated by `tbdiff`. Therefore, it is possible that they find different matching commits in corner cases (e.g. when a patch was split into two patches of roughly equal length).

* Introduce `range-diff` to compare iterations of a topic branchJohannes Schindelin2018-08-131-0/+25
This command does not do a whole lot so far, apart from showing a usage that is oddly similar to that of `git tbdiff`. And for a good reason: the next commits will turn `range-branch` into a full-blown replacement for `tbdiff`. At this point, we ignore tbdiff's color options, as they will all be implemented later using diff_options. Since f318d739159 (generate-cmds.sh: export all commands to command-list.h, 2018-05-10), every new command *requires* a man page to build right away, so let's also add a blank man page, too.
