[PATCH 0/5] activate diff.renames by default

[Matthieu Moy]

I have always wondered why diff.renames was not activated by default.
I've had it to true in my configuration for 9 years, and I've been
teaching newbies to set it for a while without issue. I think it's
time to activate it by default, but please let me know if I missed a
reason to keep it to false.

In any case, the first 3 patches are useful cleanups.

[PATCH 1/5] Documentation/diff-config: fix description of diff.renames

[Matthieu Moy]

The description was misleading, since "set to any boolean value" include
"set to false", and diff.renames=false does not enable basic detection,
but actually disables it.

[PATCH 5/5] diff: activate diff.renames by default

[Matthieu Moy]

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.

Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".

This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

It's a long time coming since I heard "I love how I can just say
'oh, keep in mind that we might want to..' and 24 hours later you
did it." [*1*]

I can hardly be an impartial judge for this series, though.

I guess there's another reference needed to fully understand your
message, and I'm not sure I have it right. Are you refering to the
"merge-recursive: test rename threshold option" discussion?

Why isn't the new function called init_diff_ui_defaults()?

s/()/(void)/;  same for the declaration in the header file.

Indeed, that's a better name. I changed it.

Fixed. 'doing too much C++ and not enough C ;-).

Not at all.

I was just mentioning that it would at last be a major achievement,
if this can safely turned on by default for everybody, after having
invented the machinery and the feature looooong time ago ;-)

Should we use "<<-" here (and elsewhere) to indent the sample lines? It
makes your diff bigger, but I think the end result is much easier to
read.

Looks OK to me. I thought we had "copies-harder" or something, but I
double-checked and we don't. I doubt anybody would want to set it
anyway, as it can be quite expensive.

I wonder if we need to talk about plumbing versus porcelain here, as it
does not default to true for diff-tree, for example. But I guess that is
already the case (even setting it to true yourself does not affect
diff-tree).

I did not use it because I thought it would strip the leading space
(' '), but actually it strips only tabs so we can definitely use it.

I changed it to <<- and pushed it here:
https://github.com/moy/git/commits/set-diff-renames

I'll resend later.

Yes, it was already the case. But it doesn't harm to document it while
we're there. I've added this in v2:

        Note that this
	affects only 'git diff' Porcelain like linkgit:git-diff[1] and
	linkgit:git-log[1], and not lower level commands such as
	linkgit:git-diff-files[1].

[PATCH v2 0/5] activate diff.renames by default

[Matthieu Moy]

Remarks on v1 applied:

* document that diff.renames applies only to porcelain

* use <<- instead of << in tests

* rename git_diff_ui_default_config to init_diff_ui_defaults

* f() -> f(void)

Interdiff follows:

[PATCH v2 1/5] Documentation/diff-config: fix description of diff.renames

[Matthieu Moy]

The description was misleading, since "set to any boolean value" include
"set to false", and diff.renames=false does not enable basic detection,
but actually disables it. Also, document that diff.renames only affects
Porcelain.

[PATCH v2 3/5] t: add tests for diff.renames (true/false/unset)

[Matthieu Moy]

The underlying machinery is well-tested, but the configuration option
itself was tested only in t3400-rebase.sh.

[PATCH v2 5/5] diff: activate diff.renames by default

[Matthieu Moy]

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.

Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".

This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written
scripts will not be affected.

Just a minor typo: s/enable/enabled/
Also, there is only one space between the second and third sentences.

Just in case you haven't already fixed that.

[PATCH v2.1] Documentation/diff-config: fix description of diff.renames

[Matthieu Moy]

The description was misleading, since "set to any boolean value" include
"set to false", and diff.renames=false does not enable basic detection,
but actually disables it. Also, document that diff.renames only affects
Porcelain.

Oops, trivial fix for typo noticed by Felipe. I'm resending just this
one in case Junio wants to pick the latest version but I can obviously
resend the whole if needed.

Ahh, I earlier said "Not a new issue", but it is introduced here ;-)

I'll patch them up.  Thanks.

Heh, I guess people independently spotted the same typo nearly
simultaneously ;-)

I think I got this fixed locally (and adjusted the last one to
match).  Thanks.
