We always show the diff as an absolute path, but pathnames to diff are
taken relative to the current working directory (and if no pathnames are

Note that "../xyz" also works, so you can do
cd linux/drivers/char
git diff ../block
and it will generate a diff of the linux/drivers/block changes.

This removes the separate "formats" for name and name-with-zero-

It also makes the code easier to understand.

This is a halfway between debugging aid and a helper to write an
ultra-smart merge scripts. The new option takes a string that
consists of a list of "status" letters, and limits the diff
output to only those classes of changes, with two exceptions:
- A broken pair (aka "complete rewrite"), does not match D
(deleted) or N (created). Use B to look for them.
- The letter "A" in the diff-filter string does not match
anything itself, but causes the entire diff that contains
selected patches to be output (this behaviour is similar to
that of --pickaxe-all for the -S option).
For example,
$ git-rev-list HEAD |
git-diff-tree --stdin -s -v -B -C --diff-filter=BCR
shows a list of commits that have complete rewrite, copy, or
rename.

This patch updates diff documentation and usage strings:
- clarify the semantics of -R. It is not "output in reverse";
rather, it is "I will feed diff backwards". Semantically
they are different when -C is involved.
- describe -O in usage strings of diff-* brothers. It was
implemented, documented but not described in usage text.
Also it adds -O to diff-helper. Like -S (and unlike -M/-C/-B),
this option can work on sanitized diff-raw output produced by
the diff-* brothers. While we are at it, the call it makes to
diffcore is cleaned up to use the diffcore_std() like everybody
else, and the declaration for the low level diffcore routines
are moved from diff.h (public) to diffcore.h (private between
diff.c and diffcore backends).

The core GIT repository has trees that record regular file mode
in 0664 instead of normalized 0644 pattern. Comparing such a
tree with another tree that records the same file in 0644
pattern without content changes with git-diff-tree causes it to
feed otherwise unmodified pairs to the diff_change() routine,
which triggers a sanity check routine and barfs. This patch
fixes the problem, along with the fix to another caller that
uses unnormalized mode bits to call diff_change() routine in a
similar way.

A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

This changes the way how pathspec is used in the three diff-*
brothers. Earlier, they tried to grab as much information from
the original input and used pathspec to limit the output. This
version uses pathspec upfront to narrow the world diffcore
operates in, so "git-diff-* <arguments> some-directory" does not
look at things outside the specified subtree when finding
rename/copy or running pickaxe.
Since diff-tree already takes this view and does not feed
anything outside the specified directotires to begin with, this
patch does not have to touch that command.

Update the diff-raw format as Linus and I discussed, except that

The new diff-raw format can express rename/copy, and the earlier
restriction that -M and -C _must_ be used with the patch format
output is no longer necessary. The patch makes -M and -C flags
independent of -p flag, so you need to say git-whatchanged -M -p

This steals the "pickaxe" feature from JIT and make it available
to the bare Plumbing layer. From the command line, the user
gives a string he is intersted in.
Using the diff-core infrastructure previously introduced, it
filters the differences to limit the output only to the diffs
between <src> and <dst> where the string appears only in one but
not in the other. For example:
$ ./git-rev-list HEAD | ./git-diff-tree -Sdiff-tree-helper --stdin -M
would show the diffs that touch the string "diff-tree-helper".
In real software-archaeologist application, you would typically
look for a few to several lines of code and see where that code
came from.
The "pickaxe" module runs after "rename/copy detection" module,
so it even crosses the file rename boundary, as the above
example demonstrates.

This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree
family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the
interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove)
have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the
diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the
set of differences sent from the applications, before sending
them to the external diff interface.
The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten
to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in
separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into
a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff
interface as such.
This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be
able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as
copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there
already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified
files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source
candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a
separate patch.
Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the
newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

gone and handled uniformly from the diff core, even when not generating

This also allowed diff-cache and diff-files to acquire -R

diff-tree can swap two trees easily so I did not add -R there.
[ Linus' note: I'll add -R to "diff-tree" too, since a "commit

This rips out the rename detection engine from diff-helper and moves it

diff-tree family into the diff core. In order to give the same option
name to diff-tree family as well as to diff-helper, I've changed the
earlier diff-helper '-r' option to '-M' (stands for Move; sorry but the
natural abbreviation 'r' for 'rename' is already taken for 'recursive').
Although I did a fair amount of test with the git-diff-tree with
existing rename commits in the core GIT repository, this should still be
considered beta (preview) release. This patch depends on the diff-delta

This also regularizes the make. The source files themselves don't get
the "git-" prefix, because that's just inconvenient. So instead we just
make the rule that "git-xxxx" depends on "xxxx.c", and do that for
all the core programs (ie the old "git-mktag.c" got renamed to just
"mktag.c" to match everything else).
And "show-diff" got renamed to "git-diff-files" while at it, since
that's what it really should be to match the other git-diff-xxx cases.
With the recent "no-patch-by-default" change, the -s flag to the
show-diff command (and silent variable in the show-diff.c) became
meaningless. This deprecates it.
Cogito uses "show-diff -s" for the purpose of "I do not want the patch
text. I just want to know if something has potentially changed, in
which case I know you will have some output. I'll run update-cache
--refresh if you say something", so we cannot barf on seeing -s on our

diff command interface simpler.
These commands now honor GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable which
can point at an arbitrary program that takes 7 parameters:
name file1 file1-sha1 file1-mode file2 file2-sha1 file2-mode
The parameters for an external diff command are as follows:
name this invocation of the command is to emit diff
for the named cache/tree entry.
file1 pathname that holds the contents of the first
file. This can be a file inside the working
tree, or a temporary file created from the blob
object, or /dev/null. The command should not
attempt to unlink it -- the temporary is
unlinked by the caller.
file1-sha1 sha1 hash if file1 is a blob object, or "."
otherwise.
file1-mode mode bits for file1, or "." for a deleted file.
If GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable is not set, the
default is to invoke diff with the set of parameters old
show-diff used to use. This built-in implementation honors the
