-Tweaking diff output
-====================
-June 2005
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-The diff commands git-diff-index, git-diff-files, and git-diff-tree
-can be told to manipulate differences they find in
-unconventional ways before showing diff(1) output. The manipulation
-is collectively called "diffcore transformation". This short note
-describes what they are and how to use them to produce diff outputs
-that are easier to understand than the conventional kind.
-
-
-The chain of operation
-----------------------
-
-The git-diff-* family works by first comparing two sets of
-files:
-
- - git-diff-index compares contents of a "tree" object and the
- working directory (when '\--cached' flag is not used) or a
- "tree" object and the index file (when '\--cached' flag is
- used);
-
- - git-diff-files compares contents of the index file and the
- working directory;
-
- - git-diff-tree compares contents of two "tree" objects;
-
-In all of these cases, the commands themselves compare
-corresponding paths in the two sets of files. The result of
-comparison is passed from these commands to what is internally
-called "diffcore", in a format similar to what is output when
-the -p option is not used. E.g.
-
-------------------------------------------------
-in-place edit :100644 100644 bcd1234... 0123456... M file0
-create :000000 100644 0000000... 1234567... A file4
-delete :100644 000000 1234567... 0000000... D file5
-unmerged :000000 000000 0000000... 0000000... U file6
-------------------------------------------------
-
-The diffcore mechanism is fed a list of such comparison results
-(each of which is called "filepair", although at this point each
-of them talks about a single file), and transforms such a list
-into another list. There are currently 6 such transformations:
-
-- diffcore-pathspec
-- diffcore-break
-- diffcore-rename
-- diffcore-merge-broken
-- diffcore-pickaxe
-- diffcore-order
-
-These are applied in sequence. The set of filepairs git-diff-\*
-commands find are used as the input to diffcore-pathspec, and
-the output from diffcore-pathspec is used as the input to the
-next transformation. The final result is then passed to the
-output routine and generates either diff-raw format (see Output
-format sections of the manual for git-diff-\* commands) or
-diff-patch format.
-
-
-diffcore-pathspec: For Ignoring Files Outside Our Consideration
----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The first transformation in the chain is diffcore-pathspec, and
-is controlled by giving the pathname parameters to the
-git-diff-* commands on the command line. The pathspec is used
-to limit the world diff operates in. It removes the filepairs
-outside the specified set of pathnames. E.g. If the input set
-of filepairs included:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 100644 bcd1234... 0123456... M junkfile
-------------------------------------------------
-
-but the command invocation was "git-diff-files myfile", then the
-junkfile entry would be removed from the list because only "myfile"
-is under consideration.
-
-Implementation note. For performance reasons, git-diff-tree
-uses the pathname parameters on the command line to cull set of
-filepairs it feeds the diffcore mechanism itself, and does not
-use diffcore-pathspec, but the end result is the same.
-
-
-diffcore-break: For Splitting Up "Complete Rewrites"
-----------------------------------------------------
-
-The second transformation in the chain is diffcore-break, and is
-controlled by the -B option to the git-diff-* commands. This is
-used to detect a filepair that represents "complete rewrite" and
-break such filepair into two filepairs that represent delete and
-create. E.g. If the input contained this filepair:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 100644 bcd1234... 0123456... M file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-and if it detects that the file "file0" is completely rewritten,
-it changes it to:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 000000 bcd1234... 0000000... D file0
-:000000 100644 0000000... 0123456... A file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-For the purpose of breaking a filepair, diffcore-break examines
-the extent of changes between the contents of the files before
-and after modification (i.e. the contents that have "bcd1234..."
-and "0123456..." as their SHA1 content ID, in the above
-example). The amount of deletion of original contents and
-insertion of new material are added together, and if it exceeds
-the "break score", the filepair is broken into two. The break
-score defaults to 50% of the size of the smaller of the original
-and the result (i.e. if the edit shrinks the file, the size of
-the result is used; if the edit lengthens the file, the size of
-the original is used), and can be customized by giving a number
-after "-B" option (e.g. "-B75" to tell it to use 75%).
-
-
-diffcore-rename: For Detection Renames and Copies
--------------------------------------------------
-
-This transformation is used to detect renames and copies, and is
-controlled by the -M option (to detect renames) and the -C option
-(to detect copies as well) to the git-diff-* commands. If the
-input contained these filepairs:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 000000 0123456... 0000000... D fileX
-:000000 100644 0000000... 0123456... A file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-and the contents of the deleted file fileX is similar enough to
-the contents of the created file file0, then rename detection
-merges these filepairs and creates:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 100644 0123456... 0123456... R100 fileX file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-When the "-C" option is used, the original contents of modified files,
-and deleted files (and also unmodified files, if the
-"\--find-copies-harder" option is used) are considered as candidates
-of the source files in rename/copy operation. If the input were like
-these filepairs, that talk about a modified file fileY and a newly
-created file file0:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 100644 0123456... 1234567... M fileY
-:000000 100644 0000000... bcd3456... A file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-the original contents of fileY and the resulting contents of
-file0 are compared, and if they are similar enough, they are
-changed to:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-:100644 100644 0123456... 1234567... M fileY
-:100644 100644 0123456... bcd3456... C100 fileY file0
-------------------------------------------------
-
-In both rename and copy detection, the same "extent of changes"
-algorithm used in diffcore-break is used to determine if two
-files are "similar enough", and can be customized to use
-a similarity score different from the default of 50% by giving a
-number after the "-M" or "-C" option (e.g. "-M8" to tell it to use
-8/10 = 80%).
-
-Note. When the "-C" option is used with `\--find-copies-harder`
-option, git-diff-\* commands feed unmodified filepairs to
-diffcore mechanism as well as modified ones. This lets the copy
-detector consider unmodified files as copy source candidates at
-the expense of making it slower. Without `\--find-copies-harder`,
-git-diff-\* commands can detect copies only if the file that was
-copied happened to have been modified in the same changeset.
-
-
-diffcore-merge-broken: For Putting "Complete Rewrites" Back Together
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This transformation is used to merge filepairs broken by
-diffcore-break, and not transformed into rename/copy by
-diffcore-rename, back into a single modification. This always
-runs when diffcore-break is used.
-
-For the purpose of merging broken filepairs back, it uses a
-different "extent of changes" computation from the ones used by
-diffcore-break and diffcore-rename. It counts only the deletion
-from the original, and does not count insertion. If you removed
-only 10 lines from a 100-line document, even if you added 910
-new lines to make a new 1000-line document, you did not do a
-complete rewrite. diffcore-break breaks such a case in order to
-help diffcore-rename to consider such filepairs as candidate of
-rename/copy detection, but if filepairs broken that way were not
-matched with other filepairs to create rename/copy, then this
-transformation merges them back into the original
-"modification".
-
-The "extent of changes" parameter can be tweaked from the
-default 80% (that is, unless more than 80% of the original
-material is deleted, the broken pairs are merged back into a
-single modification) by giving a second number to -B option,
-like these:
-
-* -B50/60 (give 50% "break score" to diffcore-break, use 60%
- for diffcore-merge-broken).
-
-* -B/60 (the same as above, since diffcore-break defaults to 50%).
-
-Note that earlier implementation left a broken pair as a separate
-creation and deletion patches. This was an unnecessary hack and
-the latest implementation always merges all the broken pairs
-back into modifications, but the resulting patch output is
-formatted differently for easier review in case of such
-a complete rewrite by showing the entire contents of old version
-prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
-version prefixed with '+'.
-
-
-diffcore-pickaxe: For Detecting Addition/Deletion of Specified String
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-This transformation is used to find filepairs that represent
-changes that touch a specified string, and is controlled by the
--S option and the `\--pickaxe-all` option to the git-diff-*
-commands.
-
-When diffcore-pickaxe is in use, it checks if there are
-filepairs whose "original" side has the specified string and
-whose "result" side does not. Such a filepair represents "the
-string appeared in this changeset". It also checks for the
-opposite case that loses the specified string.
-
-When `\--pickaxe-all` is not in effect, diffcore-pickaxe leaves
-only such filepairs that touch the specified string in its
-output. When `\--pickaxe-all` is used, diffcore-pickaxe leaves all
-filepairs intact if there is such a filepair, or makes the
-output empty otherwise. The latter behaviour is designed to
-make reviewing of the changes in the context of the whole
-changeset easier.
-
-
-diffcore-order: For Sorting the Output Based on Filenames
----------------------------------------------------------
-
-This is used to reorder the filepairs according to the user's
-(or project's) taste, and is controlled by the -O option to the
-git-diff-* commands.
-
-This takes a text file each of whose lines is a shell glob
-pattern. Filepairs that match a glob pattern on an earlier line
-in the file are output before ones that match a later line, and
-filepairs that do not match any glob pattern are output last.
-
-As an example, a typical orderfile for the core git probably
-would look like this:
-
-------------------------------------------------
-README
-Makefile
-Documentation
-*.h
-*.c
-t
-------------------------------------------------

The optional configuration variable 'core.excludesfile' indicates a path to a
file containing patterns of file names to exclude from git-add, similar to
$GIT_DIR/info/exclude. Patterns in the exclude file are used in addition to
-those in info/exclude. See link:repository-layout.html[repository layout].

+
+------------------------------------------------
+:100644 000000 bcd1234... 0000000... D file0
+:000000 100644 0000000... 0123456... A file0

+:000000 100644 0000000... bcd3456... A file0
+------------------------------------------------
+
+the original contents of fileY and the resulting contents of

+* -B50/60 (give 50% "break score" to diffcore-break, use 60%
+ for diffcore-merge-broken).
+
+* -B/60 (the same as above, since diffcore-break defaults to 50%).
+
+Note that earlier implementation left a broken pair as a separate
+creation and deletion patches. This was an unnecessary hack and
+the latest implementation always merges all the broken pairs
+back into modifications, but the resulting patch output is
+formatted differently for easier review in case of such
+a complete rewrite by showing the entire contents of old version
+prefixed with '-', followed by the entire contents of new
+version prefixed with '+'.
+
+
+diffcore-pickaxe: For Detecting Addition/Deletion of Specified String
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This transformation is used to find filepairs that represent
+changes that touch a specified string, and is controlled by the
+-S option and the `\--pickaxe-all` option to the git-diff-*
+commands.
+
+When diffcore-pickaxe is in use, it checks if there are
+filepairs whose "original" side has the specified string and
+whose "result" side does not. Such a filepair represents "the
+string appeared in this changeset". It also checks for the
+opposite case that loses the specified string.
+
+When `\--pickaxe-all` is not in effect, diffcore-pickaxe leaves
+only such filepairs that touch the specified string in its
+output. When `\--pickaxe-all` is used, diffcore-pickaxe leaves all
+filepairs intact if there is such a filepair, or makes the
+output empty otherwise. The latter behaviour is designed to
+make reviewing of the changes in the context of the whole
+changeset easier.
+
+
+diffcore-order: For Sorting the Output Based on Filenames
+---------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is used to reorder the filepairs according to the user's
+(or project's) taste, and is controlled by the -O option to the
+git-diff-* commands.
+
+This takes a text file each of whose lines is a shell glob
+pattern. Filepairs that match a glob pattern on an earlier line
+in the file are output before ones that match a later line, and
+filepairs that do not match any glob pattern are output last.
+
+As an example, a typical orderfile for the core git probably
+would look like this:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+README
+Makefile
+Documentation
+*.h
+*.c
+t

+gitrepository-layout(5)
+=======================
+
+NAME
+----
+gitrepository-layout - Git Repository Layout
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+$GIT_DIR/*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+You may find these things in your git repository (`.git`
+directory for a repository associated with your working tree, or
+`<project>.git` directory for a public 'bare' repository. It is
+also possible to have a working tree where `.git` is a plain
+ascii file containing `gitdir: <path>`, i.e. the path to the
+real git repository).
+
+objects::
+ Object store associated with this repository. Usually
+ an object store is self sufficient (i.e. all the objects
+ that are referred to by an object found in it are also
+ found in it), but there are couple of ways to violate
+ it.
++
+. You could populate the repository by running a commit walker
+without `-a` option. Depending on which options are given, you
+could have only commit objects without associated blobs and
+trees this way, for example. A repository with this kind of
+incomplete object store is not suitable to be published to the
+outside world but sometimes useful for private repository.
+. You also could have an incomplete but locally usable repository
+by cloning shallowly. See linkgit:git-clone[1].
+. You can be using `objects/info/alternates` mechanism, or
+`$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` mechanism to 'borrow'
+objects from other object stores. A repository with this kind
+of incomplete object store is not suitable to be published for
+use with dumb transports but otherwise is OK as long as
+`objects/info/alternates` points at the right object stores
+it borrows from.
+
+objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]::
+ Traditionally, each object is stored in its own file.
+ They are split into 256 subdirectories using the first
+ two letters from its object name to keep the number of
+ directory entries `objects` directory itself needs to
+ hold. Objects found here are often called 'unpacked'
+ (or 'loose') objects.
+
+objects/pack::
+ Packs (files that store many object in compressed form,
+ along with index files to allow them to be randomly
+ accessed) are found in this directory.
+
+objects/info::
+ Additional information about the object store is
+ recorded in this directory.
+
+objects/info/packs::
+ This file is to help dumb transports discover what packs
+ are available in this object store. Whenever a pack is
+ added or removed, `git update-server-info` should be run
+ to keep this file up-to-date if the repository is
+ published for dumb transports. `git repack` does this
+ by default.
+
+objects/info/alternates::
+ This file records paths to alternate object stores that
+ this object store borrows objects from, one pathname per
+ line. Note that not only native Git tools use it locally,
+ but the HTTP fetcher also tries to use it remotely; this
+ will usually work if you have relative paths (relative
+ to the object database, not to the repository!) in your
+ alternates file, but it will not work if you use absolute
+ paths unless the absolute path in filesystem and web URL
+ is the same. See also 'objects/info/http-alternates'.
+
+objects/info/http-alternates::
+ This file records URLs to alternate object stores that
+ this object store borrows objects from, to be used when
+ the repository is fetched over HTTP.
+
+refs::
+ References are stored in subdirectories of this
+ directory. The `git prune` command knows to keep
+ objects reachable from refs found in this directory and
+ its subdirectories.
+
+refs/heads/`name`::
+ records tip-of-the-tree commit objects of branch `name`
+
+refs/tags/`name`::
+ records any object name (not necessarily a commit
+ object, or a tag object that points at a commit object).
+
+refs/remotes/`name`::
+ records tip-of-the-tree commit objects of branches copied
+ from a remote repository.
+
+packed-refs::
+ records the same information as refs/heads/, refs/tags/,
+ and friends record in a more efficient way. See
+ linkgit:git-pack-refs[1].
+
+HEAD::
+ A symref (see glossary) to the `refs/heads/` namespace
+ describing the currently active branch. It does not mean
+ much if the repository is not associated with any working tree
+ (i.e. a 'bare' repository), but a valid git repository
+ *must* have the HEAD file; some porcelains may use it to
+ guess the designated "default" branch of the repository
+ (usually 'master'). It is legal if the named branch
+ 'name' does not (yet) exist. In some legacy setups, it is
+ a symbolic link instead of a symref that points at the current
+ branch.
++
+HEAD can also record a specific commit directly, instead of
+being a symref to point at the current branch. Such a state
+is often called 'detached HEAD', and almost all commands work
+identically as normal. See linkgit:git-checkout[1] for
+details.
+
+branches::
+ A slightly deprecated way to store shorthands to be used
+ to specify URL to `git fetch`, `git pull` and `git push`
+ commands is to store a file in `branches/<name>` and
+ give 'name' to these commands in place of 'repository'
+ argument.
+
+hooks::
+ Hooks are customization scripts used by various git
+ commands. A handful of sample hooks are installed when
+ `git init` is run, but all of them are disabled by
+ default. To enable, they need to be made executable.
+ Read linkgit:githooks[5][hooks] for more details about
+ each hook.
+
+index::
+ The current index file for the repository. It is
+ usually not found in a bare repository.
+
+info::
+ Additional information about the repository is recorded
+ in this directory.
+
+info/refs::
+ This file helps dumb transports discover what refs are
+ available in this repository. If the repository is
+ published for dumb transports, this file should be
+ regenerated by `git update-server-info` every time a tag
+ or branch is created or modified. This is normally done
+ from the `hooks/update` hook, which is run by the
+ `git-receive-pack` command when you `git push` into the
+ repository.
+
+info/grafts::
+ This file records fake commit ancestry information, to
+ pretend the set of parents a commit has is different
+ from how the commit was actually created. One record
+ per line describes a commit and its fake parents by
+ listing their 40-byte hexadecimal object names separated
+ by a space and terminated by a newline.
+
+info/exclude::
+ This file, by convention among Porcelains, stores the
+ exclude pattern list. `.gitignore` is the per-directory
+ ignore file. `git status`, `git add`, `git rm` and `git
+ clean` look at it but the core git commands do not look
+ at it. See also: linkgit:gitignore[5].
+
+remotes::
+ Stores shorthands to be used to give URL and default
+ refnames to interact with remote repository to `git
+ fetch`, `git pull` and `git push` commands.
+
+logs::
+ Records of changes made to refs are stored in this
+ directory. See the documentation on git-update-ref
+ for more information.
+
+logs/refs/heads/`name`::
+ Records all changes made to the branch tip named `name`.
+
+logs/refs/tags/`name`::
+ Records all changes made to the tag named `name`.
+
+shallow::
+ This is similar to `info/grafts` but is internally used
+ and maintained by shallow clone mechanism. See `--depth`
+ option to linkgit:git-clone[1] and linkgit:git-fetch[1].
