Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function,
exactly the same way pickaxe does.

So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed
this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial
one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment).

Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following
(which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because
then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs

Must not modify the_index.cache as it may be passed to realloc at some point.

The index cache is not static, growing as new entries are added. If
entries are added after prune_cache is called, cache will no longer
point at the base of the allocation, and realloc will not be happy.

I verified that this was the only place in the current source which
modified any index_state.cache elements aside from the alloc/realloc
calls in read-cache by changing the type of the element to 'struct
cache_entry ** const cache' and recompiling.

A more efficient patch would create a separate 'cache_base' value to
track the allocation and then fix things up when reallocation was
necessary, instead of the brute-force memmove used here.

diffcore-rename: cache file deltas

We find rename candidates by computing a fingerprint hash of
each file, and then comparing those fingerprints. There are
inherently O(n^2) comparisons, so it pays in CPU time to
hoist the (rather expensive) computation of the fingerprint
out of that loop (or to cache it once we have computed it once).

Previously, we didn't keep the filespec information around
because then we had the potential to consume a great deal of
memory. However, instead of keeping all of the filespec
data, we can instead just keep the fingerprint.

This patch implements and uses diff_free_filespec_data_large
to accomplish that goal. We also have to change
estimate_similarity not to needlessly repopulate the
filespec data when we already have the hash.

Practical tests showed 4.5x speedup for a 10% memory usage
increase.

though it never prints the actual diff (because we didn't ask for any diff

gitweb: Remove parse_from_to_diffinfo code from git_patchset_body

In commit 90921740bd00029708370673fdc537522aa48e6f
  "gitweb: Split git_patchset_body into separate subroutines"
a part of git_patchset_body code was separated into parse_from_to_diffinfo
subroutine.  But instead of replacing the separated code by the call to
mentioned subroutine, the call to subroutine was placed before the separated
code.  This patch removes parse_from_to_diffinfo code from git_patchset_body
subroutine.

Supplant the "while case ... break ;; esac" idiom

while case "$#" in 0) break ;; esac

body od the loop ugly, and the implied "true" value of the
non-matching case is not really obvious to humans at first glance.  It
happens not to be obvious to some BSD shells, either, but that's
because they are not POSIX-compliant.  In most cases, this has been
replaced by a straight condition using "test".  "case" has the
advantage of being faster than "test" on vintage shells where "test"
is not a builtin.  Since none of them is likely to run the git
scripts, anyway, the added readability should be worth the change.

17 years agogit-commit: Allow partial commit of file removal.
Junio C Hamano [Wed, 12 Sep 2007 23:04:22 +0000 (16:04 -0700)]
git-commit: Allow partial commit of file removal.

When making a partial commit, git-commit uses git-ls-files with
the --error-unmatch option to expand and sanity check the user
supplied path patterns.  When any path pattern does not match
with the paths known to the index, it errors out, in order to
catch a common mistake to say "git commit Makefiel cache.h"
and end up with a commit that touches only cache.h (notice the
misspelled "Makefile").  This detection however does not work
well when the path has already been removed from the index.

If you drop a path from the index and try to commit that
partially, i.e.

$ git rm COPYING
$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

the command complains because git does not know anything about
COPYING anymore.

This introduces a new option --with-tree to git-ls-files and
uses it in git-commit when we build a temporary index to
write a tree object for the partial commit.

When --with-tree=<tree-ish> option is specified, names from the
given tree are added to the set of names the index knows about,
so we can treat COPYING file in the example as known.

Of course, there is no reason to use "git rm" and git-aware
people have long time done:

$ rm COPYING
$ git commit -m 'Remove COPYING' COPYING

which works just fine.  But this caused a constant confusion.

send-email: make message-id generation a bit more robust

Earlier code took Unix time and appended a few random digits.
If you are firing off many messages within a second, you could
issue the same id to different messages, which is a no-no.  If
you send out 31 messages within a single second, with random
integer taken out of rand(4200), you have about 10% chance of
producing the same message ID.

This fixes the problem by uses a prefix string which is
constant-per-invocation (time and pid), with a serial number for
each message generated by the process appended at the end.
