In diff.c, we output a trailing "\t" at the end of any filename that
contains a space:
case DIFF_SYMBOL_FILEPAIR_PLUS:
meta = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_METAINFO);
reset = diff_get_color_opt(o, DIFF_RESET);
fprintf(o->file, "%s%s+++ %s%s%s\n", diff_line_prefix(o), meta,
line, reset,
strchr(line, ' ') ? "\t" : "");
break;
That is, for a file "foo.txt", `git diff --no-prefix` will emit:
+++ foo.txt
but for "foo bar.txt" it will emit:
+++ foo bar.txt\t
This in turn leads `git-jump` to produce a quickfix format like this:
foo bar.txt\t:1:1:contents
Because no "foo bar.txt\t" file actually exists on disk, opening it in
Vim will just land the user in an empty buffer.
This commit takes the simple approach of unconditionally stripping any
trailing tab. Consider the following three examples:
1. For file "foo", Git will emit "foo".
2. For file "foo bar", Git will emit "foo bar\t".
3. For file "foo\t", Git will emit "\"foo\t\"".
4. For file "foo bar\t", Git will emit "\"foo bar\t\"".
Before this commit, `git-jump` correctly handled only case "1".
After this commit, `git-jump` correctly handles cases "1" and "2". In
reality, these are the only cases people are going to run into with any
regularity, and the other two are rare edge cases, which probably aren't
worth the effort to support unless somebody actually complains about
them.

When traversing commits, a pathspec item can be used to limit the
traversal to commits that modify the specified paths. And the
commit-graph includes a Bloom filter to exclude commits that definitely
did not modify a given pathspec item. During commit traversal, the
Bloom filter can significantly improve performance. However, it is
disabled if the specified pathspec item contains wildcard characters
or magic signatures.
For performance reason, enable Bloom filter even if a pathspec item
contains wildcard characters by filtering only the non-wildcard part of
the pathspec item.
The function of pathspec magic signature is generally to narrow down
the path specified by the pathspecs. So, enable Bloom filter when
the magic signature is "top", "glob", "attr", "--depth" or "literal".
"exclude" is used to select paths other than the specified path, rather
than serving as a filtering function, so it cannot be used together with
the Bloom filter. Since Bloom filter is not case insensitive even in
case insensitive system (e.g. MacOS), it cannot be used together with
"icase" magic.
With this optimization, we get some improvements for pathspecs with
wildcards or magic signatures. First, in the Git repository we see these
modest results:
git log -100 -- "t/*"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 20.4 ms ± 0.6 ms
Range (min … max): 19.3 ms … 24.4 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 23.4 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 22.5 ms … 24.7 ms
git log -100 -- ":(top)t"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 16.2 ms ± 0.4 ms
Range (min … max): 15.3 ms … 17.2 ms
Benchmark 2: old
Time (mean ± σ): 18.6 ms ± 0.5 ms
Range (min … max): 17.6 ms … 20.4 ms
But in a larger repo, such as the LLVM project repo below, we get even
better results:
git log -100 -- "libc/*"
Benchmark 1: new
Time (mean ± σ): 16.0 ms ± 0.6 ms
Range (min … max): 14.7 ms … 17.8 ms
Benchmark 2: old

The act of giving "--no-index" tells Git to pretend that the current
directory is not under control of any Git index or repository, so
even when you happen to be in a Git controlled working tree, where
in that working tree should not matter.
But the start-up sequence tries to discover the top of the working
tree and chdir(2)'s there, even before Git passes control to the
subcommand being run. When diff_no_index() starts running, it
starts at a wrong (from the end-user's point of view who thinks
"git diff --no-index" is merely a better version of GNU diff)
directory, and the original directory the user started the command
is at "prefix".
Because the paths given from argv[] have already been adjusted to
account for this path shuffling by prepending the prefix, and
showing the resulting path by stripping the prefix, the effect of
these nonsense operations (nonsense in the context of "--no-index",
that is) is usually not observable.
Except for special cases like "-", where it is not preprocessed by
prepending the prefix.
Instead of papering over by adding more special cases only to cater
to the no-index codepath in the generic code, drive the diff
machinery more faithfully to what is going on. If the user started
"git diff --no-index" in directory X/Y/Z in a working tree
controlled by Git, and the start up sequence of Git chdir(2)'ed up
to directory X and left Y/Z in the prefix, revert the effect of the
start up sequence by chdir'ing back to Y/Z and emptying the prefix.

Commit 6fd1106aa4 ("t3700: Skip a test with backslashes in pathspec",
2009-03-13) introduced the BSLASHPSPEC prerequisite. This prerequisite
allows tests to check for systems that can use backslashes in pathspecs
(e.g. to escape glob special characters). On windows (and cygwin), this
does not work because backslashes are used as directory separators, and
git eagerly converts them to forward slashes.
This test file uses the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite to skip this test file
on windows, despite not really being appropriate for this test, which
does not hold on cygwin. The FUNNYNAMES prerequisite is set when the
system can create files with embedded quotes ("), tabs or newlines in
the name. Since cygwin can satisfy FUNNYNAMES, but not BSLASHPSPEC, this
leads to test failures on cygwin.
In order to skip these tests on cygwin, replace the FUNNYNAMES prerequisite
with BSLASHPSPEC, so that this test file is skipped on both windows and
cygwin. While here, fix a few test titles as well.
