Junio C Hamano	b45563a229	rename: Break filepairs with different types. When we consider if a path has been totally rewritten, we did not touch changes from symlinks to files or vice versa. But a change that modifies even the type of a blob surely should count as a complete rewrite. While we are at it, modernise diffcore-break to be aware of gitlinks (we do not want to touch them).

Linus Torvalds	6dd4b66fde	Fix diffcore-break total breakage Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow" doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of files got renamed in very special ways. In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames that looked basically like - rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h" - create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or "filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit. which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together. Now, there's two issues here: - "filename.c" remained. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file created with the old name in the same commit. This was important, because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create helper file" into another was not an option. So we need to break associations where the contents change too much. Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better alternatives. - "git log --follow" didn't with with -B. Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt" structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works fine: diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c index 26bdbdd..7c261fd 100644 --- a/tree-diff.c +++ b/tree-diff.c @@ -319,6 +319,7 @@ static void try_to_follow_renames(struct tree_desc t1, struct tree_desc t2, co diff_opts.detect_rename = DIFF_DETECT_RENAME; diff_opts.output_format = DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT; diff_opts.single_follow = opt->paths[0]; + diff_opts.break_opt = opt->break_opt; paths[0] = NULL; diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts); if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0) however, the end result does not work. Because our diffcore-break.c logic is totally bogus! In particular: - it used to do if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE) return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair / which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that "base_size" is the smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other side was ten times bigger and looked nothing like the samell file! That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that we compare the bigger of the filepair with the break size. - It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was so different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added if (merge_score_p > break_score) return 1; to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it was definitely* a break. - It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the damage score with delta_size = src_removed + literal_added; damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size; but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in a number that is bigger than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is (again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the damage! Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole. With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in general, by doing a full-history git log --stat -B -C on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code. There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output: - This: include/asm-x86/Kbuild \| 2 - include/asm-x86/debugreg.h \| 79 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ include/asm-x86/debugreg_32.h \| 64 --------------------------------- include/asm-x86/debugreg_64.h \| 65 --------------------------------- 4 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) Becomes: include/asm-x86/Kbuild \| 2 - include/asm-x86/{debugreg_64.h => debugreg.h} \| 9 +++- include/asm-x86/debugreg_32.h \| 64 ------------------------- 3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) - This: include/asm-x86/bug.h \| 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- include/asm-x86/bug_32.h \| 37 ------------------------------------- include/asm-x86/bug_64.h \| 34 ---------------------------------- 3 files changed, 39 insertions(+), 73 deletions(-) Becomes include/asm-x86/{bug_64.h => bug.h} \| 20 +++++++++++++----- include/asm-x86/bug_32.h \| 37 ----------------------------------- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real "delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable. So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

Junio C Hamano	d8c3d03a0b	diffcore_count_changes: pass diffcore_filespec We may want to use richer information on the data we are dealing with in this function, so instead of passing a buffer address and length, just pass the diffcore_filespec structure.

Shawn O. Pearce	dc49cd769b	Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_t Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4. This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory. On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior. Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the -Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t(). In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

Nicolas Pitre	38fd0721d0	diff-delta: allow reusing of the reference buffer index When a reference buffer is used multiple times then its index can be computed only once and reused multiple times. This patch adds an extra pointer to a pointer argument (from_index) to diff_delta() for this. If from_index is NULL then everything is like before. If from_index is non NULL and from_index is NULL then the index is created and its location stored to from_index. In this case the caller has the responsibility to free the memory pointed to by from_index. If from_index and from_index are non NULL then the index is reused as is. This currently saves about 10% of CPU time to repack the git archive. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>	19 years ago

Yasushi SHOJI	068eac91ce	[PATCH] plug memory leak in diff.c::diff_free_filepair() When I run git-diff-tree on big change, it seems the command eats so much memory. so I just put git under valgrind to see what's going on. diff_free_filespec_data() doesn't free diff_filespec itself. [jc: I ended up doing things slightly differently from Yasushi's patch.

Junio C Hamano	366175ef8c	[PATCH] Rework -B output. Patch for a completely rewritten file detected by the -B flag was shown as a pair of creation followed by deletion in earlier versions. This was an misguided attempt to make reviewing such a complete rewrite easier, and unnecessarily ended up confusing git-apply. Instead, show the entire contents of old version prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new version prefixed with '+'. This gives the same easy-to-review for human consumer while keeping it a single, regular modification patch for machine consumption, something that even GNU patch can grok.

Junio C Hamano	f78c79c5d4	[PATCH] diffcore-break.c: various fixes. This fixes three bugs in the -B heuristics. - Although it was advertised that the initial break criteria used was the same as what diffcore-rename uses, it was using something different. Instead of using smaller of src and dst size to compare with "edit" size, (insertion and deletion), it was using larger of src and dst, unlike the rename/copy detection logic. This caused the parameter to -B to mean something different from the one to -M and -C. To compensate for this change, the default break score is also changed to match that of the default for rename/copy. - The code would have crashed with division by zero when trying to break an originally empty file. - Contrary to what the comment said, the algorithm was breaking small files, only to later merge them together.

Junio C Hamano	eeaa460314	[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics. As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite" should be done by looking at the amount of original material still left in the result. If you still have the original 97 lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903 lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a 30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line document. You did a complete rewrite in either case. This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates. The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete" a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%) for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and 75% for merge avoidance.

Junio C Hamano	355e76a4a3	[PATCH] Tweak count-delta interface Make it return copied source and insertion separately, so that later implementation of heuristics can use them more flexibly.

Junio C Hamano	f345b0a066	[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers. 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.
