Stefan Beller e6e045f803 diff.c: buffer all output if asked to
Introduce a new option 'emitted_symbols' in the struct diff_options which
controls whether all output is buffered up until all output is available.
It is set internally in diff.c when necessary.

We'll have a new struct 'emitted_string' in diff.c which will be used to
buffer each line.  The emitted_string will duplicate the memory of the
line to buffer as that is easiest to reason about for now. In a future
patch we may want to decrease the memory usage by not duplicating all
output for buffering but rather we may want to store offsets into the
file or in case of hunk descriptions such as the similarity score, we
could just store the relevant number and reproduce the text later on.

This approach was chosen as a first step because it is quite simple
compared to the alternative with less memory footprint.

emit_diff_symbol factors out the emission part and depending on the
diff_options->emitted_symbols the emission will be performed directly
when calling emit_diff_symbol or after the whole process is done, i.e.
by buffering we have add the possibility for a second pass over the
whole output before doing the actual output.

In 6440d34 (2012-03-14, diff: tweak a _copy_ of diff_options with
word-diff) we introduced a duplicate diff options struct for word
emissions as we may have different regex settings in there.
When buffering the output, we need to operate on just one buffer,
so we have to copy back the emissions of the word buffer into the
main buffer.

Unconditionally enable output via buffer in this patch as it yields
a great opportunity for testing, i.e. all the diff tests from the
test suite pass without having reordering issues (i.e. only parts
of the output got buffered, and we forgot to buffer other parts).
The test suite passes, which gives confidence that we converted all
functions to use emit_string for output.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
