Thomas Rast	80c49c3de2	color-words: make regex configurable via attributes Make the --color-words splitting regular expression configurable via the diff driver's 'wordregex' attribute. The user can then set the driver on a file in .gitattributes. If a regex is given on the command line, it overrides the driver's setting. We also provide built-in regexes for the languages that already had funcname patterns, and add an appropriate diff driver entry for C/++. (The patterns are designed to run UTF-8 sequences into a single chunk to make sure they remain readable.)

Jeff King	c7534ef4a1	userdiff: require explicitly allowing textconv Diffs that have been produced with textconv almost certainly cannot be applied, so we want to be careful not to generate them in things like format-patch. This introduces a new diff options, ALLOW_TEXTCONV, which controls this behavior. It is off by default, but is explicitly turned on for the "log" family of commands, as well as the "diff" porcelain (but not diff-* plumbing). Because both text conversion and external diffing are controlled by these diff options, we can get rid of the "plumbing versus porcelain" distinction when reading the config. This was an attempt to control the same thing, but suffered from being too coarse-grained. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	16 years ago
Jeff King	9cb92c390c	diff: add filter for converting binary to text When diffing binary files, it is sometimes nice to see the differences of a canonical text form rather than either a binary patch or simply "binary files differ." Until now, the only option for doing this was to define an external diff command to perform the diff. This was a lot of work, since the external command needed to take care of doing the diff itself (including mode changes), and lost the benefit of git's colorization and other options. This patch adds a text conversion option, which converts a file to its canonical format before performing the diff. This is less flexible than an arbitrary external diff, but is much less work to set up. For example: $ echo '*.jpg diff=exif' >>.gitattributes $ git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool $ git config diff.exif.binary false allows one to see jpg diffs represented by the text output of exiftool.

Jeff King	122aa6f9c0	diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary The "diff" gitattribute is somewhat overloaded right now. It can say one of three things: 1. this file is definitely binary, or definitely not (i.e., diff or !diff) 2. this file should use an external diff engine (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.command = custom-script) 3. this file should use particular funcname patterns (i.e., diff=foo, diff.foo.(x?)funcname = some-regex) Most of the time, there is no conflict between these uses, since using one implies that the other is irrelevant (e.g., an external diff engine will decide for itself whether the file is binary). However, there is at least one conflicting situation: there is no way to say "use the regular rules to determine whether this file is binary, but if we do diff it textually, use this funcname pattern." That is, currently setting diff=foo indicates that the file is definitely text. This patch introduces a "binary" config option for a diff driver, so that one can explicitly set diff.foo.binary. We default this value to "don't know". That is, setting a diff attribute to "foo" and using "diff.foo.funcname" will have no effect on the binaryness of a file. To get the current behavior, one can set diff.foo.binary to true. This patch also has one additional advantage: it cleans up the interface to the userdiff code a bit. Before, calling code had to know more about whether attributes were false, true, or unset to determine binaryness. Now that binaryness is a property of a driver, we can represent these situations just by passing back a driver struct. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Jeff King	be58e70dba	diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code Both sets of code assume that one specifies a diff profile as a gitattribute via the "diff=foo" attribute. They then pull information about that profile from the config as diff.foo.*. The code for each is currently completely separate from the other, which has several disadvantages: - there is duplication as we maintain code to create and search the separate lists of external drivers and funcname patterns - it is difficult to add new profile options, since it is unclear where they should go - the code is difficult to follow, as we rely on the "check if this file is binary" code to find the funcname pattern as a side effect. This is the first step in refactoring the binary-checking code. This patch factors out these diff profiles into "userdiff" drivers. A file with "diff=foo" uses the "foo" driver, which is specified by a single struct. Note that one major difference between the two pieces of code is that the funcname patterns are always loaded, whereas external drivers are loaded only for the "git diff" porcelain; the new code takes care to retain that situation.
