Often one is interested in the full --stat output only for commits which
change a few files, but not others, because larger restructuring gives a
--stat which fills a few screens.
Introduce a new option --stat-count=<count> which limits the --stat output
to the first <count> lines, followed by a "..." line. It can
also be given as the third parameter in
--stat=<width>,<name-width>,<count>.
Also, the unstuck form is supported analogous to the other two stat
parameters.

This patch adds an alternative implementation of show_dirstat(), called
show_dirstat_by_line(), which uses the more expensive diffstat analysis
(as opposed to show_dirstat()'s own (relatively inexpensive) analysis)
to derive the numbers from which the --dirstat output is computed.
The alternative implementation is controlled by the new "lines" parameter
to the --dirstat option (or the diff.dirstat config variable).
For binary files, the diffstat analysis counts bytes instead of lines,
so to prevent binary files from dominating the dirstat results, the
byte counts for binary files are divided by 64 before being compared to
their textual/line-based counterparts. This is a stupid and ugly - but
very cheap - heuristic.
In linux-2.6.git, running the three different --dirstat modes:
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=changes > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=lines > /dev/null
vs.
time git diff v2.6.20..v2.6.30 --dirstat=files > /dev/null
yields the following average runtimes on my machine:
- "changes" (default): ~6.0 s
- "lines": ~9.6 s
- "files": ~0.1 s
So, as expected, there's a considerable performance hit (~60%) by going
through the full diffstat analysis as compared to the default "changes"
analysis (obviously, "files" is much faster than both). As such, the
"lines" mode is probably only useful if you really need the --dirstat
numbers to be consistent with the numbers returned from the other
--*stat options.
The patch also includes documentation and tests for the new dirstat mode.

When reviewing a patch while concentrating primarily on the text after
then change, wading through pages of deleted text involves a cognitive
burden.
Introduce the -D option that omits the preimage text from the patch output
for deleted files. When used with -B (represent total rewrite as a single
wholesale deletion followed by a single wholesale addition), the preimage
text is also omitted.
To prevent such a patch from being applied by mistake, the output is
designed not to be usable by "git apply" (or GNU "patch"); it is strictly
for human consumption.
It of course is possible to "apply" such a patch by hand, as a human can
read the intention out of such a patch. It however is impossible to apply
such a patch even manually in reverse, as the whole point of this option
is to omit the information necessary to do so from the output.

Teach "-G<regexp>" that is similar to "-S<regexp> --pickaxe-regexp" to the
"git diff" family of commands. This limits the diff queue to filepairs
whose patch text actually has an added or a deleted line that matches the
given regexp. Unlike "-S<regexp>", changing other parts of the line that
has a substring that matches the given regexp IS counted as a change, as
such a change would appear as one deletion followed by one addition in a
patch text.
Unlike -S (pickaxe) that is intended to be used to quickly detect a commit
that changes the number of occurrences of hits between the preimage and
the postimage to serve as a part of larger toolchain, this is meant to be
used as the top-level Porcelain feature.
The implementation unfortunately has to run "diff" twice if you are
running "log" family of commands to produce patches in the final output
(e.g. "git log -p" or "git format-patch"). I think we _could_ cache the
result in-core if we wanted to, but that would require larger surgery to
the diffcore machinery (i.e. adding an extra pointer in the filepair
structure to keep a pointer to a strbuf around, stuff the textual diff to
the strbuf inside diffgrep_consume(), and make use of it in later stages
when it is available) and it may not be worth it.

Usually, diff frontends populate the output queue with filepairs without
any rename information and call diffcore_std() to sort the renames out.
When --follow is in effect, however, diff-tree family of frontend has a
hack that looks like this:
diff-tree frontend
-> diff_tree_sha1()
. populate diff_queued_diff
. if --follow is in effect and there is only one change that
creates the target path, then
-> try_to_follow_renames()
-> diff_tree_sha1() with no pathspec but with -C
-> diffcore_std() to find renames
. if rename is found, tweak diff_queued_diff and put a
single filepair that records the found rename there
-> diffcore_std()
. tweak elements on diff_queued_diff by
- rename detection
- path ordering
- pickaxe filtering
We need to skip parts of the second call to diffcore_std() that is related
to rename detection, and do so only when try_to_follow_renames() did find
a rename. Earlier 1da6175 (Make diffcore_std only can run once before a
diff_flush, 2010-05-06) tried to deal with this issue incorrectly; it
unconditionally disabled any second call to diffcore_std().
This hopefully fixes the breakage.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

This teaches the --color-words engine a more general interface that
supports two new modes:
* --word-diff=plain, inspired by the 'wdiff' utility (most similar to
'wdiff -n <old> <new>'): uses delimiters [-removed-] and {+added+}
* --word-diff=porcelain, which generates an ad-hoc machine readable
format:
- each diff unit is prefixed by [-+ ] and terminated by newline as
in unified diff
- newlines in the input are output as a line consisting only of a
tilde '~'
Both of these formats still support color if it is enabled, using it
to highlight the differences. --color-words becomes a synonym for
--word-diff=color, which is the color-only format. Also adds some

This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and
(1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;
(2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
callback function;
(3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.
When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.
All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.
This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5. The test prepares these three trees:
O = HEAD^
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
A = HEAD
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb a/x
B = master
120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 a/b
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
With a clean index that matches HEAD, running
git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B
now yields
120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b
100644 e69de29bb2 0 a/b-2/c/d
100644 e69de29bb2 1 a/b/c/d
100644 e69de29bb2 2 a/b/c/d
100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x
which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.
Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.
Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.

Traditionally, the --ignore-whitespace* options have merely meant to tell
the diff output routine that some class of differences are not worth
showing in the textual diff output, so that the end user has easier time
to review the remaining (presumably more meaningful) changes. These
options never affected the outcome of the command, given as the exit
status when the --exit-code option was in effect (either directly or
indirectly).
When you have only whitespace changes, however, you might expect
git diff -b --exit-code
to report that there is _no_ change with zero exit status.
Change the semantics of --ignore-whitespace* options to mean more than
"omit showing the difference in text".
The exit status, when --exit-code is in effect, is computed by checking if
we found any differences at the path level, while diff frontends feed
filepairs to the diffcore engine. When "ignore whitespace" options are in
effect, we defer this determination until the very end of diffcore
transformation. We simply do not know until the textual diff is
generated, which comes very late in the pipeline.
When --quiet is in effect, various diff frontends optimize by breaking out
early from the loop that enumerates the filepairs, when we find the first
path level difference; when --ignore-whitespace* is used the above change
automatically disables this optimization.

index_is_dirty() in builtin-revert.c checks if the index is dirty.
This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs
from a revision, i.e. the former index_is_dirty() behavior can now be
achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).
The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option
flags like DIFF_OPT_IGNORE_SUBMODULES. See DIFF_OPT_* macros in diff.h
for a list.
index_differs_from() seems to be useful for more than builtin-revert.c,
so it is moved into diff-lib.c and also used in builtin-commit.c.
Yet to mention:
- "rev.abbrev = 0;" can be safely removed.
This has no impact on performance or functioning of neither
setup_revisions() nor run_diff_index().
- rev.pending.objects is free()d because this fixes a leak.

This adds --relative option to the diff family. When you start
from a subdirectory:
$ git diff --relative
shows only the diff that is inside your current subdirectory,
and without $prefix part. People who usually live in
subdirectories may like it.
There are a few things I should also mention about the change:
- This works not just with diff but also works with the log
family of commands, but the history pruning is not affected.
In other words, if you go to a subdirectory, you can say:
$ git log --relative -p
but it will show the log message even for commits that do not
touch the current directory. You can limit it by giving
pathspec yourself:
$ git log --relative -p .
This originally was not a conscious design choice, but we
have a way to affect diff pathspec and pruning pathspec
independently. IOW "git log --full-diff -p ." tells it to
prune history to commits that affect the current subdirectory
but show the changes with full context. I think it makes
more sense to leave pruning independent from --relative than
the obvious alternative of always pruning with the current
subdirectory, which would break the symmetry.
- Because this works also with the log family, you could
format-patch a single change, limiting the effect to your
subdirectory, like so:
$ cd gitk-git
$ git format-patch -1 --relative 911f1eb
But because that is a special purpose usage, this option will
never become the default, with or without repository or user
preference configuration. The risk of producing a partial
patch and sending it out by mistake is too great if we did
so.
- This is inherently incompatible with --no-index, which is a
bolted-on hack that does not have much to do with git
itself. I didn't bother checking and erroring out on the
combined use of the options, but probably I should.

This adds a new form of overview diffstat output, doing something that I
have occasionally ended up doing manually (and badly, because it's
actually pretty nasty to do), and that I think is very useful for an
project like the kernel that has a fairly deep and well-separated
directory structure with semantic meaning.
What I mean by that is that it's often interesting to see exactly which
sub-directories are impacted by a patch, and to what degree - even if you
don't perhaps care so much about the individual files themselves.
What makes the concept more interesting is that the "impact" is often
hierarchical: in the kernel, for example, something could either have a
very localized impact to "fs/ext3/" and then it's interesting to see that
such a patch changes mostly that subdirectory, but you could have another
patch that changes some generic VFS-layer issue which affects _many_
subdirectories that are all under "fs/", but none - or perhaps just a
couple of them - of the individual filesystems are interesting in
themselves.
So what commonly happens is that you may have big changes in a specific
sub-subdirectory, but still also significant separate changes to the
subdirectory leading up to that - maybe you have significant VFS-level
changes, but *also* changes under that VFS layer in the NFS-specific
directories, for example. In that case, you do want the low-level parts
that are significant to show up, but then the insignificant ones should
show up as under the more generic top-level directory.
This patch shows all of that with "--dirstat". The output can be either
something simple like

x86: remove over noisy debug printk
pageattr-test.c contains a noisy debug printk that people reported.
The condition under which it prints (randomly tapping into a mem_map[]
hole and not being able to c_p_a() there) is valid behavior and not
interesting to report.
Remove it.

where that latter example is an example of significant work in some
individual fs/*/ subdirectories (like the patches to reiserfs accounting
for 7.6% of the whole), but then discounting those individual filesystems,
there's also 15.3% other "random" things that weren't worth reporting on
their oen left over under fs/ in general (either in that directory itself,
or in subdirectories of fs/ that didn't have enough changes to be reported
individually).
I'd like to stress that the "15.3% fs/" mentioned above is the stuff that
is under fs/ but that was _not_ significant enough to report on its own.
So the above does _not_ mean that 15.3% of the work was under fs/ per se,
because that 15.3% does *not* include the already-reported 7.6% of afs,
7.6% of fuse etc.
If you want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use the
"--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively even when
they have been already reported for a sub-directory. That cumulative
output is disabled if *all* of the changes in one subdirectory come from
a deeper subdirectory, to avoid repeating subdirectories all the way to
the root.
For an example of the cumulative reporting, the above commit becomes

61.5% fs/
7.6% net/rxrpc/
10.2% security/keys/
in which the commit percentages now obviously add up to much more than
100%: now the changes that were already reported for the sub-directories
under fs/ are then cumulatively included in the whole percentage of fs/
(ie now shows 61.5% as opposed to the 15.3% without the cumulative
reporting).
The default reporting limit has been arbitrarily set at 3%, which seems
to be a pretty good cut-off, but you can specify the cut-off manually by
giving it as an option parameter (eg "--dirstat=5" makes the cut-off be
at 5% instead)
NOTE! The percentages are purely about the total lines added and removed,
not anything smarter (or dumber) than that. Also note that you should not
generally expect things to add up to 100%: not only does it round down, we
don't report leftover scraps (they add up to the top-level change count,
but we don't even bother reporting that, it only reports subdirectories).
Quite frankly, as a top-level manager this is really convenient for me,
but it's going to be very boring for git itself since there are few
subdirectories. Also, don't expect things to make tons of sense if you
combine this with "-M" and there are cross-directory renames etc.
But even for git itself, you can get some fun statistics. Try out
git log --dirstat
and see the occasional mentions of things like Documentation/, git-gui/,
gitweb/ and gitk-git/. Or try out something like
git diff --dirstat v1.5.0..v1.5.4
which does kind of git an overview that shows *something*. But in general,
the output is more exciting for big projects with deeper structure, and
doing a
git diff --dirstat v2.6.24..v2.6.25-rc1
on the kernel is what I actually wrote this for!

The diff porcelain uses git_diff_ui_config to set
porcelain-ish config options, like automatically turning on
color. The plumbing specifically avoids calling this
function, since it doesn't want things like automatic color
or rename detection.
However, some diff options should be set for both plumbing
and porcelain. For example, one can still turn on color in
git-diff-files using the --color command line option. This
means we want the color config from color.diff.* (so that
once color is on, we use the user's preferred scheme), but
_not_ the color.diff variable.
We split the diff config into "ui" and "basic", where
"basic" is suitable for use by plumbing (so _most_ things
affecting the output should still go into the "ui" part).

With the new options "--src-prefix=<prefix>", "--dst-prefix=<prefix>"
and "--no-prefix", you can now control the path prefixes of the diff
machinery. These used to by hardwired to "a/" for the source prefix
and "b/" for the destination prefix.

There is no reason --exit-code and --check-diff must be mutually
exclusive, so assign different bits to different results and allow them
to be returned from the command. Introduce diff_result_code() to factor
out the common code to decide final status code based on diffopt
settings and use it everywhere.
Update tests to match the above fix.
Turning pager off when "diff --check" is used is a regression.

"git diff" has a --check option that can be used to check for whitespace
problems but it only reported by printing warnings to the
console.
Now when the --check option is used we give a non-zero exit status,
making "git diff --check" nicer to use in scripts and hooks.
