* git diff woes
From: Andreas Ericsson @ 2007-11-12  9:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Git Mailing List

I recently ran into an oddity with the excellent git diff output
format. When a function declaration changes in the same patch as
something else in a function, the old declaration is used with the
diff hunk-headers.

Consider this hunk:
---%<---%<---%<---
@@ -583,75 +346,100 @@ double jitter_request(const char *host, int *status){
        if(verbose) printf("%d candiate peers available\n", num_candidates);
        if(verbose && syncsource_found) printf("synchronization source found\n")
        if(! syncsource_found){
-               *status = STATE_UNKNOWN;
+               status = STATE_WARNING;
                if(verbose) printf("warning: no synchronization source found\n")
        }
---%<---%<---%<---

It definitely looks like a bug, but really isn't, since an earlier hunk
(pasted below) changes the declaration. There were several hunks between
these two, so it was far from obvious when I saw it first.

This makes it impossible to trust the hunk-header info if the declaration
changes. It might be better to not write it out when the header-line is
also part of the patch. That would at least force one to go back and find
the real declaration. Best would probably be to write the new declaration,
but I'm unsure if that could cause some other confusion.

I haven't started looking into it yet, and as I'm sure there are others
who are much more familiar with the xdiff code I'm shamelessly hoping
someone will beat me to a fix.

I like it, too.  And we can make the number of shown commits configurable, 
just like for the merge summary.  But I'd rather see the code in 
wt-status.c than in git-submodule.sh.

You mean a "push" config variable?  No.  I think I mentioned in my first

	git push <remote> <branch>...

works quite wonderfully.

Huh?  You admit yourself that it is not a bug.  And sure you can trust the 
hunk header.  Like most of the things, the relate to the _original_ 
version, since the diff is meant to be applied as a forward patch.

So for all practical matters, the diff shows the correct thing: "in this 
hunk, which (still) belongs to that function, change this and this."

Of course, that is only the case if you accept that the diff should be 
applied _in total_, not piecewise.  IOW if you are a fan of GNU patch 
which happily clobbers your file until it fails with the last hunk, you 
will not be happy.

How about the equivalent of

	git log --left-right --pretty=oneline --topo-order 354cd45...3f751e5

which would be

   	# * sm1 354cd45...3f751e5:

This version has also the following advantage that you can set
HAVE_STRCHRNULL if above test does not detect it in your library.

Althought you'd better write then:

+#if __GLIBC_PREREQ(2, 1) && !defined(HAVE_STRCHRNUL)

Ack.

Apart from the error in the condition (&& should actually be ||), the
construct

    #if !defined(A) || !A

leads to a syntax error in the C preprocessor if A is indeed not defined.

prune is definitely scary, and users don't need to know about it until

Indeed. I still don't grok it fully. I tend to use gitk/qgit and some
brainpower to obtain the same result.

Ack on that. I suggested it a while back and it appears many liked the

I agree. Culling the list output by "git help -a" to only show the
porcelain commands would definitely be worthwhile. I'm not sure if it's
worth having a way of showing every installed git command at all (I
know I've never used it anyway).

git format-patch could probably go in, but skip the others. I've never
used git cherry in my entire life and it's not, strictly speaking,
necessary for users to have it. There are other and easier ways to
find the same information.

I'd keep cherry-pick though. It's incredibly useful, and especially
when a commit ends up on the wrong branch which is something newbies
are likely to do when they start trying out the topic-branch workflow.
I still do it sometimes, but hardly ever stop thinking about it since
it's so easy to fix thanks to cherry-pick.

On the other hand, cherry-picking and reverting are just the same thing,
except one applies a reversed patch. Wouldn't it make sense to merge these
two in one command ?

In the check_ntpd.c program, there is no bug. I found the git diff output

You're right. GNU patch will apply one hunk and then happily churn on even
if it fails. git-apply will apply all hunks or none, so all hunks can assume
that all previous hunks were successfully applied. So what was your point
again?

I mean a push = .. line in the [remote <name>] block.
And if there is such a line than git-push without arguments will push
only
the current branch. For me that is nice, because if I forgot to give 
an argument to git-push it will not push other branches.

If there is no such line all the remotes (that don't have a push line?) 
get pushed.

Michael

My point was that this diff is not to be read as if the previous hunks had 
been applied.  Just look at the context: it is also the original file.

It seems I am singularly unable to explain plain concepts as this: a diff 
assumes that the file is yet unchanged.

So I'll stop.

Ok, I have spotted one oddity with this feature.  The symbolic refs are
getting converted to real refs in the mirror.  Generally speaking this
is the <remote>/HEAD refs but I guess it may be possible to have others.

I have had a looked about and I am actually confused as to whether we
maintain remote symbolic refs at all?  Cirtainly git-clone.sh seems to
do some hoop jumping, comparing the sha1's of all of the fetched branches
and replacing the HEAD reference with a symbolic reference should it find
a match.

I am unsure if this a huge problem or not.  Its not preventing me using
it as an effective mirror, but if we assume one is making the mirror as
a backup, then there would be slightly more than an rsync to convert the
the repo back into your original, though I guess there already is as you
would want to insert your config into the remote also.

Perhaps someone with a better understanding could point me to where we
we maintain these refs, if we indeed do?

My plan after 0.14 is to remove the implementation of add/rm etc.
commands. I'd like to keep them as just synonyms to the equivalent git
commands which stgit would invoke (this is mainly for convenience as I
usually type "stg" rather than "git").

BTW, I'll review this week the bugs already logged and clean as many
as possible (help appreciated :-)) and try to release 0.14 in 1-2
weeks.

* [BUG] fast-import producing very deep tree deltas
From: Brian Downing @ 2007-11-12 11:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: Shawn O. Pearce; +Cc: git

I've happened upon a case where fast-import produces deep tree deltas.
How deep?  Really deep.  6035 entries deep to be precise for this case:

    depths: count 135970 total 120567366 min 0 max 6035 mean 886.72 median 3 std_dev 1653.48

    27b8a20bdf39fecd917e8401d3499013e49449d0 tree   32 99609547 6035 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

This was with git-fast-import from 'next' as of a couple days ago,
run with the default options (no --depth passed in).

Needless to say the pack that resulted was just about useless.  Trying to
repack it resulted in the "counting objects" phase running at about five
objects per second.

I don't know much about the fast-import code, but I'd guess that the
delta_depth member for the tree_content struct is either getting cleared
inappropriately or is not being propagated correctly.  I added a printout
of the depth just before the store_object call in store_tree and it is
never non-zero, even though the pack file clearly was generated with
plenty of deltas.

I may have time to look at this more later this week, but I just wanted
it to be known that this problem existed.

The context is ambiguous, as it must be present in both the new and the
old file for it to actually *be* context. Otherwise it would be part of
the +- diff text.

Sure, but the useraid with writing the apparent function declaration in
the hunk header *will* be confusing if the function declaration changes
in the same patch as other things in the function.

> So I'll stop.

Give me something valuable instead, such as your opinion on whether it
would be better to not print the function declaration at all if it will
be changed by applying the same patch, or if one should pick one of the
declarations from old or new and, if so, which one to pick.

I simply refuse to believe that you wouldn't immediately think the hunk
below holds an obvious bug. I thought so because of the helpful function
context git diff prints (which is a helper for human reviewers, and not
something git-apply or GNU patch needs to work), and now I want to do
something about it so others won't have to suffer the same confusion.

* [PATCH] setup_git_directory: Setup cwd properly if worktree is found
From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy @ 2007-11-12 11:24 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git; +Cc: Junio C Hamano, Johannes Schindelin

This makes sure (if possible) the current working directory is at
root worktree. "git rev-parse --show-cwd" is added to aid the tests.
Also the first test is for "Add missing inside_work_tree" commit.

Hmm.  Maybe this needs a bit more clarification?

When setup_git_directory() returns, the cwd is supposed to be the current 
working tree's root.  Your patch fixes that nicely when the worktree 
setting was overridden by the config (which is read in 
check_repository_format()).

But what about setup_git_directory_gently()?  If the working tree is 
overridden by the config, this function is still bogus, right?

As far as I see, setup_git_directory_gently() only works correctly when 
core.worktree is _not_ set, unless GIT_WORK_TREE is set (which is supposed 
to override the config setting).  Note: I treat GIT_WORK_TREE the same as 
--work-tree, since at that time they are identical.

Maybe the config stuff has to move into _gently()?

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: Thanks for picking up the ball.  At some stage I got so fed up with 
the work-tree stuff that I had to take a long break from it.  It is a 
messy concept, and the implementation is messy, partly because of it, and 
partly because I wrote it.

* [PATCH] git-quiltimport.sh fix --patches handling
From: Andy Whitcroft @ 2007-11-12 12:07 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: git, Junio C Hamano; +Cc: Pierre Habouzit

When converting git-quiltimport.sh to the new git-rev-part --parseopt
system, the handling of --patches was broken.  We inadvertantly always
attempt to use '--patches' as the value.

This was introduced in the following commit:
