A negative return from the unpack callback function usually means unpack
failed for the entry and signals the unpack_trees() machinery to fail the
entire merge operation, immediately and there is no other way for the
callback to tell the machinery to exit early without reporting an error.
This is what we usually want to make a merge all-or-nothing operation, but
the machinery is also used for diff-index codepath by using a custom
unpack callback function. And we do sometimes want to exit early without
failing, namely when we are under --quiet and can short-cut the diff upon
finding the first difference.
Add "exiting_early" field to unpack_trees_options structure, to signal the
unpack_trees() machinery that the negative return value is not signaling
an error but an early return from the unpack_trees() machinery. As this by
definition hasn't unpacked everything, discard the resulting index just
like the failure codepath.

The code notices that the caller does not want any detail of the changes
and only wants to know if there is a change or not by specifying --quiet.
And it breaks out of the loop when it knows it already found any change.
When you have a post-process filter (e.g. --diff-filter), however, the
path we found to be different in the previous round and set HAS_CHANGES
bit may end up being uninteresting, and there may be no output at the end.
The optimization needs to be disabled for such case.
Note that the f245194 (diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace"
options, 2009-05-22) already disables this optimization by refraining
from setting HAS_CHANGES when post-process filters that need to inspect
the contents of the files (e.g. -S, -w) in diff_change() function.

The new "ignore" config option controls the default behavior for "git
status" and the diff family. It specifies under what circumstances they
consider submodules as modified and can be set separately for each
submodule.
The command line option "--ignore-submodules=" has been extended to accept
the new parameter "none" for both status and diff.
Users that chose submodules to get rid of long work tree scanning times
might want to set the "dirty" option for those submodules. This brings
back the pre 1.7.0 behavior, where submodule work trees were never
scanned for modifications. By using "--ignore-submodules=none" on the
command line the status and diff commands can be told to do a full scan.
This option can be set to the following values (which have the same name
and meaning as for the "--ignore-submodules" option of status and diff):
"all": All changes to the submodule will be ignored.
"dirty": Only differences of the commit recorded in the superproject and
the submodules HEAD will be considered modifications, all changes
to the work tree of the submodule will be ignored. When using this
value, the submodule will not be scanned for work tree changes at
all, leading to a performance benefit on large submodules.
"untracked": Only untracked files in the submodules work tree are ignored,
a changed HEAD and/or modified files in the submodule will mark it
as modified.
"none" (which is the default): Either untracked or modified files in a
submodules work tree or a difference between the subdmodules HEAD
and the commit recorded in the superproject will make it show up
as changed. This value is added as a new parameter for the
"--ignore-submodules" option of the diff family and "git status"
so the user can override the settings in the configuration.

In some use cases it is not desirable that the diff family considers
submodules that only contain untracked content as dirty. This may happen
e.g. when the submodule is not under the developers control and not all
build generated files have been added to .gitignore by the upstream
developers. Using the "untracked" parameter for the "--ignore-submodules"
option disables checking for untracked content and lets git diff report
them as changed only when they have new commits or modified content.
Sometimes it is not wanted to have submodules show up as changed when they
just contain changes to their work tree. An example for that are scripts
which just want to check for submodule commits while ignoring any changes
to the work tree. Also users having large submodules known not to change
might want to use this option, as the - sometimes substantial - time it
takes to scan the submodule work tree(s) is saved.

Testing if the output "new commits" should appear in the long format of
"git status" is done by comparing the hashes of the diffpair. This always
resulted in printing "new commits" for submodules that contained untracked
or modified content, even if they did not contain new commits. The reason
was that match_stat_with_submodule() did set the "changed" flag for dirty
submodules, resulting in two->sha1 being set to the null_sha1 at the call
sites, which indicates that new commits are present. This is changed so
that when no new commits are present, the same object names are in the
sha1 field for both sides of the filepair, and the working tree side will
have the "dirty_submodule" flag set when appropriate. For a submodule to
be seen as modified even when it just has a dirty work tree, some
conditions had to be extended to also check for the "dirty_submodule"
flag.
Unfortunately the test case that should have found this bug had been
changed incorrectly too. It is fixed and extended to test for other
combinations too.

Since 1.7.0 there are three reasons a submodule is considered modified
against the work tree: It contains new commits, modified content or
untracked content. Lets show all reasons in the long format of git status,
so the user can better asses the nature of the modification. This change
does not affect the short and porcelain formats.
Two new members are added to "struct wt_status_change_data" to store the
information gathered by run_diff_files(). wt-status.c uses the new flag
DIFF_OPT_DIRTY_SUBMODULES to tell diff-lib.c it wants to get detailed
dirty information about submodules.

print an extra line for new untracked content and another for modified

to the ref diffed against in the superproject, drop the output which
would just show the same SHA1s and no commit message headlines.

The rule has always been that a cache entry that is ce_uptodate(ce)
means that we already have checked the work tree entity and we know
there is no change in the work tree compared to the index, and nobody
should have to double check. Note that false ce_uptodate(ce) does not
mean it is known to be dirty---it only means we don't know if it is
clean.
There are a few codepaths (refresh-index and preload-index are among
them) that mark a cache entry as up-to-date based solely on the return
value from ie_match_stat(); this function uses lstat() to see if the
work tree entity has been touched, and for a submodule entry, if its
HEAD points at the same commit as the commit recorded in the index of
the superproject (a submodule that is not even cloned is considered
clean).
A submodule is no longer considered unmodified merely because its HEAD
matches the index of the superproject these days, in order to prevent
people from forgetting to commit in the submodule and updating the
superproject index with the new submodule commit, before commiting the
state in the superproject. However, the patch to do so didn't update
the codepath that marks cache entries up-to-date based on the updated
definition and instead worked it around by saying "we don't trust the
return value of ce_uptodate() for submodules."
This makes ce_uptodate() trustworthy again by not marking submodule
entries up-to-date.
The next step _could_ be to introduce a few "in-core" flag bits to
cache_entry structure to record "this entry is _known_ to be dirty",
call is_submodule_modified() from ie_match_stat(), and use these new
bits to avoid running this rather expensive check more than once, but
that can be a separate patch.

In the worst case is_submodule_modified() got called three times for
each submodule. The information we got from scanning the whole
submodule tree the first time can be reused instead.
New parameters have been added to diff_change() and diff_addremove(),
the information is stored in a new member of struct diff_filespec. Its
value is then reused instead of calling is_submodule_modified() again.
When no explicit "-dirty" is needed in the output the call to
is_submodule_modified() is not necessary when the submodules HEAD
already disagrees with the ref of the superproject, as this alone
marks it as modified. To achieve that, get_stat_data() got an extra
argument.

Until now a submodule only then showed up as modified in the supermodule
when the last commit in the submodule differed from the one in the index
or the diffed against commit of the superproject. A dirty work tree
containing new untracked or modified files in a submodule was
undetectable when looking at it from the superproject.
Now git status and git diff (against the work tree) in the superproject
will also display submodules as modified when they contain untracked or
modified files, even if the compared ref matches the HEAD of the
submodule.

This makes the traversal of index be in sync with the tree traversal.
When unpack_callback() is fed a set of tree entries from trees, it
inspects the name of the entry and checks if the an index entry with
the same name could be hiding behind the current index entry, and
(1) if the name appears in the index as a leaf node, it is also
fed to the n_way_merge() callback function;
(2) if the name is a directory in the index, i.e. there are entries in
that are underneath it, then nothing is fed to the n_way_merge()
callback function;
(3) otherwise, if the name comes before the first eligible entry in the
index, the index entry is first unpacked alone.
When traverse_trees_recursive() descends into a subdirectory, the
cache_bottom pointer is moved to walk index entries within that directory.
All of these are omitted for diff-index, which does not even want to be
fed an index entry and a tree entry with D/F conflicts.
This fixes 3-way read-tree and exposes a bug in other parts of the system
in t6035, test #5. The test prepares these three trees:
O = HEAD^
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
A = HEAD
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b/c/d
100644 blob 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb a/x
B = master
120000 blob a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 a/b
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/b-2/c/d
100644 blob e69de29bb2 a/x
With a clean index that matches HEAD, running
git read-tree -m -u --aggressive $O $A $B
now yields
120000 a36b77384451ea1de7bd340ffca868249626bc52 3 a/b
100644 e69de29bb2 0 a/b-2/c/d

100644 587be6b4c3f93f93c489c0111bba5596147a26cb 0 a/x
which is correct. "master" created "a/b" symlink that did not exist,
and removed "a/b/c/d" while HEAD did not do touch either path.
Before this series, read-tree did not notice the situation and resolved
addition of "a/b" and removal of "a/b/c/d" independently. If A = HEAD had
another path "a/b/c/e" added, this merge should conflict but instead it
silently resolved "a/b" and then immediately overwrote it to add
"a/b/c/e", which was quite bogus.
Tests in t1012 start to work with this.

This prepares but does not yet implement a look-ahead in the index entries
when traverse-trees.c decides to give us tree entries in an order that
does not match what is in the index.
A case where a look-ahead in the index is necessary happens when merging
branch B into branch A while the index matches the current branch A, using
a tree O as their common ancestor, and these three trees looks like this:
O A B
t t
t-i t-i t-i
t-j t-j
t/1
t/2
The traverse_trees() function gets "t", "t-i" and "t" from trees O, A and
B first, and notices that A may have a matching "t" behind "t-i" and "t-j"
(indeed it does), and tells A to give that entry instead. After unpacking
blob "t" from tree B (as it hasn't changed since O in B and A removed it,
it will result in its removal), it descends into directory "t/".
The side that walked index in parallel to the tree traversal used to be
implemented with one pointer, o->pos, that points at the next index entry
to be processed. When this happens, the pointer o->pos still points at
"t-i" that is the first entry. We should be able to skip "t-i" and "t-j"
and locate "t/1" from the index while the recursive invocation of
traverse_trees() walks and match entries found there, and later come back
to process "t-i".
While that look-ahead is not implemented yet, this adds a flag bit,
CE_UNPACKED, to mark the entries in the index that has already been
processed. o->pos pointer has been renamed to o->cache_bottom and it
points at the first entry that may still need to be processed.

The option "QUIET" primarily meant "find if we have _any_ difference as
quick as possible and report", which means we often do not even have to
look at blobs if we know the trees are different by looking at the higher
level (e.g. "diff-tree A B"). As a side effect, because there is no point
showing one change that we happened to have found first, it also enables
NO_OUTPUT and EXIT_WITH_STATUS options, making the end result look quiet.
Rename the internal option to QUICK to reflect this better; it also makes
grepping the source tree much easier, as there are other kinds of QUIET

When we ask get_stat_data() to get the mode and size of an index entry,
we can avoid the lstat() call if we have marked the index entry as being
uptodate due to earlier lstat() calls.
This avoids a lot of unnecessary lstat() calls in eg 'git checkout',
where the last phase shows the differences to the working tree
(requiring a diff), but earlier phases have already verified the index.
On the kernel repo (with a fast machine and everything cached), this
changes timings of a nul 'git checkout' from
- Before (best of ten):
0.14user 0.05system 0:00.19elapsed 100%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

so it can obviously be noticeable, although equally obviously it's not a
show-stopper on this particular machine. The difference is likely larger
on slower machines, or with operating systems that don't do as good a job
of name caching.

This patch generalizes this function to check if the index differs

achieved by index_differs_from("HEAD", 0).
The second argument "diff_flags" allows to set further diff option

This is the base for making symlink detection in the middle fo a pathname
saner and (much) more efficient.
Under various loads, we want to verify that the full path leading up to a
filename is a real directory tree, and that when we successfully do an
'lstat()' on a filename, we don't get a false positive due to a symlink in
the middle of the path that git should have seen as a symlink, not as a
normal path component.
The 'has_symlink_leading_path()' function already did this, and cached
a single level of symlink information, but didn't cache the _lack_ of a
symlink, so the normal behaviour was actually the wrong way around, and we
ended up doing an 'lstat()' on each path component to check that it was a
real directory.
This caches the last detected full directory and symlink entries, and
speeds up especially deep directory structures a lot by avoiding to
lstat() all the directories leading up to each entry in the index.
[ This can - and should - probably be extended upon so that we eventually
never do a bare 'lstat()' on any path entries at *all* when checking the
index, but always check the full path carefully. Right now we do not
generally check the whole path for all our normal quick index
revalidation.
We should also make sure that we're careful about all the invalidation,
ie when we remove a link and replace it by a directory we should
invalidate the symlink cache if it matches (and vice versa for the
directory cache).
But regardless, the basic function needs to be sane to do that. The old
'has_symlink_leading_path()' was not capable enough - or indeed the code
readable enough - to really do that sanely. So I'm pushing this as not
just an optimization, but as a base for further work. ]

948dd34 (diff-index: careful when inspecting work tree items, 2008-03-30)
made the work tree check careful not to be fooled by a new directory that
exists at a place the index expects a blob. For such a change to be a
typechange from blob to submodule, the new directory has to be a
repository.
However, if the index expects a submodule there, we should not insist the
work tree entity to be a repository --- a simple directory that is not a
full fledged repository (even an empty directory would do) should be
considered an unmodified subproject, because that is how a superproject
with a submodule is checked out sparsely by default.
This makes the function check_work_tree_entity() even more careful not to
report a submodule that is not checked out as removed. It fixes the
recently added test in t4027.

This does not make any difference when running diff-files alone, but if

Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Earlier, if you changed a staged path into a directory in the work tree,
we happily ran lstat(2) on it and found that it exists, and declared that
the user changed it to a gitlink.
This is wrong for two reasons:
(1) It may be a directory, but it may not be a submodule, and in the
latter case, the change we need to report is "the blob at the path
has disappeared". We need to check with resolve_gitlink_ref() to be
consistent with what "git add" and "git update-index --add" does.
(2) lstat(2) may have succeeded only because a leading component of the
path was turned into a symbolic link that points at something that
exists in the work tree. In such a case, the path itself does not
exist anymore, as far as the index is concerned.
This fixes these breakages in diff-index that the previous patch has
exposed.

We will always unpack into our own internal index, but we will take the

to a specified index (optionally, because not everybody even _wants_ any
result: the index diffing really wants to just walk the tree and index
in parallel).
This ends up removing a fair number more lines than it adds, for the
simple reason that we can now skip all the crud that tried to be
oh-so-careful about maintaining our position in the index as we were
traversing and modifying it. Since we don't actually modify the source
index any more, we can just update the 'o->pos' pointer without worrying

A plain "git commit" would still run lstat() a lot more than necessary,
because wt_status_print() would cause the index to be repeatedly flushed
and re-read by wt_read_cache(), and that would cause the CE_UPTODATE bit
to be lost, resulting in the files in the index being lstat'ed three
times each.
The reason why wt-status.c ended up invalidating and re-reading the
cache multiple times was that it uses "run_diff_index()", which in turn
uses "read_tree()" to populate the index with *both* the old index and
the tree we want to compare against.
So this patch re-writes run_diff_index() to not use read_tree(), but
instead use "unpack_trees()" to diff the index to a tree. That, in
turn, means that we don't need to modify the index itself, which then
means that we don't need to invalidate it and re-read it!
This, together with the lstat() optimizations, means that "git commit"
on the kernel tree really only needs to lstat() the index entries once.
That noticeably cuts down on the cached timings.
Best time before:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.399s
user 0m0.232s
sys 0m0.164s
Best time after:
[torvalds@woody linux]$ time git commit > /dev/null
real 0m0.254s
user 0m0.140s
sys 0m0.112s
so it's a noticeable improvement in addition to being a nice conceptual
cleanup (it's really not that pretty that "run_diff_index()" dirties the
index!)
Doing an "strace -c" on it also shows that as it cuts the number of
lstat() calls by two thirds, it goes from being lstat()-limited to being
limited by getdents() (which is the readdir system call):
Before:
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
60.69 0.000704 0 69230 31 lstat
23.62 0.000274 0 5522 getdents

1.48 0.000020 0 274 write
1.34 0.000018 0 2844 fstat
...
It passes the test-suite for me, but this is another of one of those
really core functions, and certainly pretty subtle, so..
NOTE! The Linux lstat() system call is really quite cheap when everything
is cached, so the fact that this is quite noticeable on Linux is likely to
mean that it is *much* more noticeable on other operating systems. I bet
you'll see a much bigger performance improvement from this on Windows in
particular.

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.
In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.
This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do

Earlier in commit 0781b8a9b2
(add_file_to_index: skip rehashing if the cached stat already
matches), add_file_to_index() were taught not to re-add the path
if it already matches the index.
The change meant well, but was not executed quite right. It
used ie_modified() to see if the file on the work tree is really
different from the index, and skipped adding the contents if the
function says "not modified".
This was wrong. There are three possible comparison results
between the index and the file in the work tree:
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are different. E.g. if the
length or the owner in the cached stat information is
different from the length we just obtained from lstat(2), we
can tell the file is modified without looking at the actual
contents.
- with lstat(2) we _know_ they are the same. The same length,
the same owner, the same everything (but this has a twist, as
described below).
- we cannot tell from lstat(2) information alone and need to go
to the filesystem to actually compare.
The last case arises from what we call 'racy git' situation,
that can be caused with this sequence:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo aeiou >file ;# the same length
If the second "echo" is done within the same filesystem
timestamp granularity as the first "echo", then the timestamp
recorded by "git add" and the timestamp we get from lstat(2)
will be the same, and we can mistakenly say the file is not
modified. The path is called 'racily clean'. We need to
reliably detect racily clean paths are in fact modified.
To solve this problem, when we write out the index, we mark the
index entry that has the same timestamp as the index file itself
(that is the time from the point of view of the filesystem) to
tell any later code that does the lstat(2) comparison not to
trust the cached stat info, and ie_modified() then actually goes
to the filesystem to compare the contents for such a path.
That's all good, but it should not be used for this "git add"
optimization, as the goal of "git add" is to actually update the
path in the index and make it stat-clean. With the false
optimization, we did _not_ cause any data loss (after all, what
we failed to do was only to update the cached stat information),
but it made the following sequence leave the file stat dirty:
$ echo hello >file
$ git add file
$ echo hello >file ;# the same contents
$ git add file
The solution is not to use ie_modified() which goes to the
filesystem to see if it is really clean, but instead use
ie_match_stat() with "assume racily clean paths are dirty"
option, to force re-adding of such a path.
There was another problem with "git add -u". The codepath
shares the same issue when adding the paths that are found to be
modified, but in addition, it asked "git diff-files" machinery
run_diff_files() function (which is "git diff-files") to list
the paths that are modified. But "git diff-files" machinery
uses the same ie_modified() call so that it does not report
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths as modified, which is
not what we want.
The patch allows the callers of run_diff_files() to pass the
same "assume racily clean paths are dirty" option, and makes
"git-add -u" codepath to use that option, to discover and re-add
racily clean _and_ actually clean paths.
We could further optimize on top of this patch to differentiate
the case where the path really needs re-adding (i.e. the content
of the racily clean entry was indeed different) and the case
where only the cached stat information needs to be refreshed
(i.e. the racily clean entry was actually clean), but I do not
think it is worth it.
This patch applies to maint and all the way up.

ce_match_stat() can be told:
(1) to ignore CE_VALID bit (used under "assume unchanged" mode)
and perform the stat comparison anyway;
(2) not to perform the contents comparison for racily clean
entries and report mismatch of cached stat information;
using its "option" parameter. Give them symbolic constants.
Similarly, run_diff_files() can be told not to report anything
on removed paths. Also give it a symbolic constant for that.

When we compare two non-tracked files, or explicitly
specify --no-index, the suggestion to run git-status
is not helpful.
The patch adds a new diff_options bitfield member, no_index, that
is used instead of the special value of -2 of the rev_info field
max_count to indicate that the index is not to be used. This makes
it possible to pass that flag down to diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch(),
which only has one diff_options parameter.
This could even become a cleanup if we removed all assignments of
max_count to a value of -2 (viz. replacement of a magic value with
a self-documenting field name) but I didn't dare to do that so late
in the rc game..
The no_index bit, if set, then tells diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch()
to not account for any skipped stat-mismatches, which avoids the
suggestion to run git-status.

- Use of xread() was not prepared to see short read (e.g. reading
from tty) nor handing read errors.

This allows you to say
echo Hello World | git diff x -
to compare the contents of file "x" with the line "Hello World".
This automatically switches to --no-index mode.

When run from a subdirectory of a repository, the command forgot
to adjust paths given to it with prefix.

Some file systems that can host git repositories and their working copies
do not support symbolic links. But then if the repository contains a symbolic
link, it is impossible to check out the working copy.
This patch enables partial support of symbolic links so that it is possible
to check out a working copy on such a file system. A new flag
core.symlinks (which is true by default) can be set to false to indicate
that the filesystem does not support symbolic links. In this case, symbolic
links that exist in the trees are checked out as small plain files, and
checking in modifications of these files preserve the symlink property in
the database (as long as an entry exists in the index).
Of course, this does not magically make symbolic links work on such defective
file systems; hence, this solution does not help if the working copy relies
on that an entry is a real symbolic link.

When specifying an absolute path, or a relative path pointing outside
the working tree, do not fail, but roll your own diffopt parsing,
and execute a --no-index diff.

diff sets the exit status to 0 when no changes were found, to 1
when changes were found, and 2 means error.
We imitate this to be able to use "git diff" in the test scripts.
(Actually, keeping in line with the rest of git, -1 is returned
on error, which corresponds to an exit status 255).
To find out if the diff is not empty, a member called
"found_changes" was introduced in struct diff_options, which is
set in builtin_diff() and fn_out_consume().

"git-diff-files --cc" to show conflicts during merge did not pass
the correct mode information for the working tree down, and showed
bogus combined diff.

* 'jc/status' (early part):
run_diff_{files,index}(): update calling convention.
update-index: do not die too early in a read-only repository.
git-status: do not be totally useless in a read-only repository.
This is to resolve semantic conflict (which is not textual) that
changes the calling convention of run_diff_files() early.
With this flag and given two paths, git-diff-files behaves as a GNU diff
lookalike (plus the git goodies like --check, colour, etc.). This flag
is also available in git-diff. It also works outside of a git repository.
In addition, if git-diff{,-files} is called without revision or stage
parameter, and with exactly two paths at least one of which is not tracked,
the default is --no-index.
So, you can now say
git diff /etc/inittab /etc/fstab
and it actually works!
This also unifies the duplicated argument parsing between cmd_diff_files()
and builtin_diff_files().

When we do not trust executable bit from lstat(2), we copied
existing ce_mode bits without checking if the filesystem object
is a regular file (which is the only thing we apply the "trust
executable bit" business) nor if the blob in the index is a
regular file (otherwise, we should do the same as registering a
new regular file, which is to default non-executable).
Noticed by Johannes Sixt.

Warning: this changes the semantics.
This makes "git blame" without any positive rev to start digging
from the working tree copy, which is made into a fake commit
whose sole parent is the HEAD.
It also adds --contents <file> option to pretend as if the
working tree copy has the contents of the named file. You can
use '-' to make the command read from the standard input.
If you want the command to start annotating from the HEAD
commit, you need to explicitly give HEAD parameter.

This updates the way diffcore represents an unmerged pair
somewhat. It used to be that entries with mode=0 on both sides
were used to represent an unmerged pair, but now it has an
explicit flag. This is to allow diff-index --cached to report
the entry from the tree when the path is unmerged in the index.
This is used in updating "git reset <tree> -- <path>" to restore
absense of the path in the index from the tree.
