global: introduce `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro
Use of the `the_repository` variable is deprecated nowadays, and we
slowly but steadily convert the codebase to not use it anymore. Instead,
callers should be passing down the repository to work on via parameters.
It is hard though to prove that a given code unit does not use this
variable anymore. The most trivial case, merely demonstrating that there
is no direct use of `the_repository`, is already a bit of a pain during
code reviews as the reviewer needs to manually verify claims made by the
patch author. The bigger problem though is that we have many interfaces
that implicitly rely on `the_repository`.
Introduce a new `USE_THE_REPOSITORY_VARIABLE` macro that allows code
units to opt into usage of `the_repository`. The intent of this macro is
to demonstrate that a certain code unit does not use this variable
anymore, and to keep it from new dependencies on it in future changes,
be it explicit or implicit
For now, the macro only guards `the_repository` itself as well as
`the_hash_algo`. There are many more known interfaces where we have an
implicit dependency on `the_repository`, but those are not guarded at
the current point in time. Over time though, we should start to add
guards as required (or even better, just remove them).
Define the macro as required in our code units. As expected, most of our
code still relies on the global variable. Nearly all of our builtins
rely on the variable as there is no way yet to pass `the_repository` to
their entry point. For now, declare the macro in "biultin.h" to keep the
required changes at least a little bit more contained.

diff: restrict when prefetching occurs
Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08)
optimized "diff" by prefetching blobs in a partial clone, but there are
some cases wherein blobs do not need to be prefetched. In these cases,
any command that uses the diff machinery will unnecessarily fetch blobs.
diffcore_std() may read blobs when it calls the following functions:
(1) diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() (controlled by the config variable
diff.autorefreshindex)
(2) diffcore_break() and diffcore_merge_broken() (for break-rewrite
detection)
(3) diffcore_rename() (for rename detection)
(4) diffcore_pickaxe() (for detecting addition/deletion of specified
string)
Instead of always prefetching blobs, teach diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
diffcore_break(), and diffcore_rename() to prefetch blobs upon the first
read of a missing object. This covers (1), (2), and (3): to cover the
rest, teach diffcore_std() to prefetch if the output type is one that
includes blob data (and hence blob data will be required later anyway),
or if it knows that (4) will be run.

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

Fix diffcore-break total breakage
Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.
In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like
- rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
- create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
"filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.
which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.
Now, there's two issues here:
- "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
helper file" into another was *not* an option.
So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
alternatives.
- "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.
Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:
diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c
index 26bdbdd..7c261fd 100644

paths[0] = NULL;
diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)
however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!
In particular:
- it used to do
if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */
which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
"base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!
That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.
- It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added
if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;
to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
was *definitely* a break.
- It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
damage score with
delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;
but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
(again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
damage!
Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.
With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now
git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S
actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history
git log --stat -B -C
on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.
There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:
- This:

Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real
"delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in
advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was
meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases
where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable.
So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak
the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

diff: restrict when prefetching occurs
Commit 7fbbcb21b1 ("diff: batch fetching of missing blobs", 2019-04-08)
optimized "diff" by prefetching blobs in a partial clone, but there are
some cases wherein blobs do not need to be prefetched. In these cases,
any command that uses the diff machinery will unnecessarily fetch blobs.
diffcore_std() may read blobs when it calls the following functions:
(1) diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() (controlled by the config variable
diff.autorefreshindex)
(2) diffcore_break() and diffcore_merge_broken() (for break-rewrite
detection)
(3) diffcore_rename() (for rename detection)
(4) diffcore_pickaxe() (for detecting addition/deletion of specified
string)
Instead of always prefetching blobs, teach diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
diffcore_break(), and diffcore_rename() to prefetch blobs upon the first
read of a missing object. This covers (1), (2), and (3): to cover the
rest, teach diffcore_std() to prefetch if the output type is one that
includes blob data (and hence blob data will be required later anyway),
or if it knows that (4) will be run.

[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

convert "oidcmp() == 0" to oideq()
Using the more restrictive oideq() should, in the long run,
give the compiler more opportunities to optimize these
callsites. For now, this conversion should be a complete
noop with respect to the generated code.
The result is also perhaps a little more readable, as it
avoids the "zero is equal" idiom. Since it's so prevalent in
C, I think seasoned programmers tend not to even notice it
anymore, but it can sometimes make for awkward double
negations (e.g., we can drop a few !!oidcmp() instances
here).
This patch was generated almost entirely by the included
coccinelle patch. This mechanical conversion should be
completely safe, because we check explicitly for cases where
oidcmp() is compared to 0, which is what oideq() is doing
under the hood. Note that we don't have to catch "!oidcmp()"
separately; coccinelle's standard isomorphisms make sure the
two are treated equivalently.
I say "almost" because I did hand-edit the coccinelle output
to fix up a few style violations (it mostly keeps the
original formatting, but sometimes unwraps long lines).

Fix diffcore-break total breakage
Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.
In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like
- rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
- create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
"filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.
which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.
Now, there's two issues here:
- "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
helper file" into another was *not* an option.
So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
alternatives.
- "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.
Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:
diff --git a/tree-diff.c b/tree-diff.c
index 26bdbdd..7c261fd 100644
--- a/tree-diff.c
+++ b/tree-diff.c
@@ -319,6 +319,7 @@ static void try_to_follow_renames(struct tree_desc *t1, struct tree_desc *t2, co

diff_opts.output_format = DIFF_FORMAT_NO_OUTPUT;
diff_opts.single_follow = opt->paths[0];
+ diff_opts.break_opt = opt->break_opt;
paths[0] = NULL;
diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)
however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!
In particular:
- it used to do
if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */
which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
"base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!
That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.
- It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added
if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;
to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
was *definitely* a break.
- It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
damage score with
delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;
but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
(again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
damage!
Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.
With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now
git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S
actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history
git log --stat -B -C
on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.
There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

Fix diffcore-break total breakage
Ok, so on the kernel list, some people noticed that "git log --follow"
doesn't work too well with some files in the x86 merge, because a lot of
files got renamed in very special ways.
In particular, there was a pattern of doing single commits with renames
that looked basically like
- rename "filename.h" -> "filename_64.h"
- create new "filename.c" that includes "filename_32.h" or
"filename_64.h" depending on whether we're 32-bit or 64-bit.
which was preparatory for smushing the two trees together.
Now, there's two issues here:
- "filename.c" *remained*. Yes, it was a rename, but there was a new file
created with the old name in the same commit. This was important,
because we wanted each commit to compile properly, so that it was
bisectable, so splitting the rename into one commit and the "create
helper file" into another was *not* an option.
So we need to break associations where the contents change too much.
Fine. We have the -B flag for that. When we break things up, then the
rename detection will be able to figure out whether there are better
alternatives.
- "git log --follow" didn't with with -B.
Now, the second case was really simple: we use a different "diffopt"
structure for the rename detection than the basic one (which we use for
showing the diffs). So that second case is trivially fixed by a trivial
one-liner that just copies the break_opt values from the "real" diffopts
to the one used for rename following. So now "git log -B --follow" works
fine:

diff_tree_setup_paths(paths, &diff_opts);
if (diff_setup_done(&diff_opts) < 0)
however, the end result does *not* work. Because our diffcore-break.c
logic is totally bogus!
In particular:
- it used to do
if (base_size < MINIMUM_BREAK_SIZE)
return 0; /* we do not break too small filepair */
which basically says "don't bother to break small files". But that
"base_size" is the *smaller* of the two sizes, which means that if some
large file was rewritten into one that just includes another file, we
would look at the (small) result, and decide that it's smaller than the
break size, so it cannot be worth it to break it up! Even if the other
side was ten times bigger and looked *nothing* like the samell file!
That's clearly bogus. I replaced "base_size" with "max_size", so that
we compare the *bigger* of the filepair with the break size.
- It calculated a "merge_score", which was the score needed to merge it
back together if nothing else wanted it. But even if it was *so*
different that we would never want to merge it back, we wouldn't
consider it a break! That makes no sense. So I added
if (*merge_score_p > break_score)
return 1;
to make it clear that if we wouldn't want to merge it at the end, it
was *definitely* a break.
- It compared the whole "extent of damage", counting all inserts and
deletes, but it based this score on the "base_size", and generated the
damage score with
delta_size = src_removed + literal_added;
damage_score = delta_size * MAX_SCORE / base_size;
but that makes no sense either, since quite often, this will result in
a number that is *bigger* than MAX_SCORE! Why? Because base_size is
(again) the smaller of the two files we compare, and when you start out
from a small file and add a lot (or start out from a large file and
remove a lot), the base_size is going to be much smaller than the
damage!
Again, the fix was to replace "base_size" with "max_size", at which
point the damage actually becomes a sane percentage of the whole.
With these changes in place, not only does "git log -B --follow" work for
the case that triggered this in the first place, ie now
git log -B --follow arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux_64.lds.S
actually gives reasonable results. But I also wanted to verify it in
general, by doing a full-history
git log --stat -B -C
on my kernel tree with the old code and the new code.
There's some tweaking to be done, but generally, the new code generates
much better results wrt breaking up files (and then finding better rename
candidates). Here's a few examples of the "--stat" output:
- This:

Now, in some other cases, it does actually turn a rename into a real
"delete+create" pair, and then the diff is usually bigger, so truth in
advertizing: it doesn't always generate a nicer diff. But for what -B was
meant for, I think this is a big improvement, and I suspect those cases
where it generates a bigger diff are tweakable.
So I think this diff fixes a real bug, but we might still want to tweak
the default values and perhaps the exact rules for when a break happens.

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.

break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want

[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

[PATCH] Add -B flag to diff-* brothers.
A new diffcore transformation, diffcore-break.c, is introduced.
When the -B flag is given, a patch that represents a complete
rewrite is broken into a deletion followed by a creation. This
makes it easier to review such a complete rewrite patch.
The -B flag takes the same syntax as the -M and -C flags to
specify the minimum amount of non-source material the resulting
file needs to have to be considered a complete rewrite, and
defaults to 99% if not specified.
As the new test t4008-diff-break-rewrite.sh demonstrates, if a
file is a complete rewrite, it is broken into a delete/create
pair, which can further be subjected to the usual rename
detection if -M or -C is used. For example, if file0 gets
completely rewritten to make it as if it were rather based on
file1 which itself disappeared, the following happens:
The original change looks like this:
file0 --> file0' (quite different from file0)
file1 --> /dev/null
After diffcore-break runs, it would become this:
file0 --> /dev/null
/dev/null --> file0'
file1 --> /dev/null
Then diffcore-rename matches them up:
file1 --> file0'
The internal score values are finer grained now. Earlier
maximum of 10000 has been raised to 60000; there is no user
visible changes but there is no reason to waste available bits.

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair

[PATCH] diff: Update -B heuristics.
As Linus pointed out on the mailing list discussion, -B should
break a files that has many inserts even if it still keeps
enough of the original contents, so that the broken pieces can
later be matched with other files by -M or -C. However, if such
a broken pair does not get picked up by -M or -C, we would want
to apply different criteria; namely, regardless of the amount of
new material in the result, the determination of "rewrite"
should be done by looking at the amount of original material
still left in the result. If you still have the original 97
lines from a 100-line document, it does not matter if you add
your own 13 lines to make a 110-line document, or if you add 903
lines to make a 1000-line document. It is not a rewrite but an
in-place edit. On the other hand, if you did lose 97 lines from
the original, it does not matter if you added 27 lines to make a
30-line document or if you added 997 lines to make a 1000-line
document. You did a complete rewrite in either case.
This patch introduces a post-processing phase that runs after
diffcore-rename matches up broken pairs diffcore-break creates.
The purpose of this post-processing is to pick up these broken
pieces and merge them back into in-place modifications. For
this, the score parameter -B option takes is changed into a pair
of numbers, and it takes "-B99/80" format when fully spelled
out. The first number is the minimum amount of "edit" (same
definition as what diffcore-rename uses, which is "sum of
deletion and insertion") that a modification needs to have to be
broken, and the second number is the minimum amount of "delete"
a surviving broken pair must have to avoid being merged back
together. It can be abbreviated to "-B" to use default for
both, "-B9" or "-B9/" to use 90% for "edit" but default (80%)
for merge avoidance, or "-B/75" to use default (99%) "edit" and
75% for merge avoidance.

diff -B -M: fix output for "copy and then rewrite" case
Starting from a single file, A, if you create B as a copy of A (and
possibly make some edit) and then make extensive change to A, you
will see:
$ git diff -C --name-status
C89 A B
M A
which is expected. However, if you ask the same question in a
different way, you see this:
$ git diff -B -M --name-status
R89 A B
M100 A
telling us that A was rename-edited into B (as if "A will no longer
exist as the result") and at the same time A itself was extensively
edited.
In this case, because the resulting tree still does have file A
(even if it has contents vastly different from the original), we
should use "C"opy, not "R"ename, to avoid hinting that A somehow
goes away.
Two existing tests were depending on the wrong behaviour, and fixed.
