2020-11-16add -p: prefer color.diff.context over color.diff.plainJohannes Schindelin1-3/+3
Git's diff machinery allows users to override the colors to use in diffs, even the plain-colored context lines. As of 8dbf3eb6850 (diff.h: rename DIFF_PLAIN color slot to DIFF_CONTEXT, 2015-05-27), the preferred name of the config setting is `color.diff.context`, although Git still allows `color.diff.plain`. In the context of `git add -p`, this logic is a bit hard to replicate: `git_diff_basic_config()` reads all config values sequentially and if it sees _any_ `color.diff.context` or `color.diff.plain`, it accepts the new color. The Perl version of `git add -p` needs to go through `git config --get-color`, though, which allows only one key to be specified. The same goes for the built-in version of `git add -p`, which has to go through `repo_config_get_value()`. The best we can do here is to look for `.context` and if none is found, fall back to looking for `.plain`, and if still not found, fall back to the hard-coded default (which in this case is simply the empty string, as context lines are typically rendered without colored). This still leads to inconsistencies when both config names are used: the initial diff will be colored by the diff machinery. Once edited by a user, a hunk has to be re-colored by `git add -p`, though, which would then use the other setting to color the context lines. In practice, this is not _all_ that bad. The `git config` manual says this in the `color.diff.<slot>`: `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym) We should therefore assume that users use either one or the other, but not both names. Besides, it is relatively uncommon to look at a hunk after editing it because it is immediately staged by default.

2020-09-09add -p: fix editing of intent-to-add pathsPhillip Wood1-33/+56
A popular way of partially staging a new file is to run `git add -N <path>` and then use the hunk editing of `git add -p` to select the part of the file that the user wishes to stage. Since 85953a3187 ("diff-files --raw: show correct post-image of intent-to-add files", 2020-07-01) this has stopped working as intent-to-add paths are now show as new files rather than changes to an empty blob and `git apply` refused to apply a creation patch for a path that was marked as intent-to-add. 7cfde3fa0f ("apply: allow "new file" patches on i-t-a entries", 2020-08-06) fixed the problem with apply but it still wasn't possible to edit the added hunk properly. 2c8bd8471a ("checkout -p: handle new files correctly", 2020-05-27) had previously changed `add -p` to handle new files but it did not implement patch editing correctly. The perl version simply forbade editing and the C version opened the editor with the full diff rather that just the hunk which meant that the user had to edit the hunk header manually to get it to work. The root cause of the problem is that added files store the diff header with the hunk data rather than separating the two as we do for other changes. Changing added files to store the diff header separately fixes the editing problem at the expense of having to special case empty additions as they no longer have any hunks associated with them, only the diff header. The changes move some existing code into a conditional changing the indentation, they are best viewed with --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change (or --ignore-space-change works well to get an overview of the changes) Signed-off-by: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk> Reported-by: Thomas Sullivan <tom@msbit.com.au> Reported-by: Yuchen Ying <ych@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2020-09-08add--interactive.perl: specify --no-color explicitlyJeff King1-1/+1
Our color tests of "git add -p" do something a bit different from how a normal user would behave: we pretend there's a pager in use, so that Git thinks it's OK to write color to a non-tty stdout. This comes from 8539b46534 (t3701: avoid depending on the TTY prerequisite, 2019-12-06), which allows us to avoid a lot of complicated mock-tty code. However, those environment variables also make their way down to sub-processes of add--interactive, including the "diff-files" we run to generate the patches. As a result, it thinks it should output color, too. So in t3701.50, for example, the machine-readable version of the diff we get unexpectedly has color in it. We fail to parse it as a diff and think there are zero hunks. The test does still pass, though, because even with zero hunks we'll dump the diff header (and we consider those unparseable bits to be part of the header!), and so the output still has the expected color codes in it. We don't notice that the command was totally broken and failed to apply anything. And in fact we're not really testing what we think we are about the color, either. While add--interactive does correctly show the version we got from running "diff-files --color", we'd also pass the test if we had accidentally shown the machine-readable version, too, since it (erroneously) has color codes in it. One could argue that the test isn't very realistic; it's setting up this "pretend there's a pager" situation to get around the tty restrictions of the test environment. So one option would be to move back towards using a real tty. But the behavior of add--interactive really is user-visible here. If a user, for whatever reason, did run "git --paginate add --patch" (perhaps because their pager is really a filter or something), the command would totally fail to do anything useful. Since we know that we don't want color in this output, let's just make add--interactive more defensive, and say "--no-color" explicitly. It doesn't hurt anything in the common case, but it fixes this odd case and lets our test function properly again. Note that the C builtin run_add_p() already passes --no-color, so it doesn't need a similar fix. That will eventually replace this perl code anyway, but the test change here will be valuable for ensuring that.

2020-05-27checkout -p: handle new files correctlyJohannes Schindelin1-2/+19
The original patch selection code was written for `git add -p`, and the fundamental unit on which it works is a hunk. We hacked around that to handle deletions back in 24ab81ae4d (add-interactive: handle deletion of empty files, 2009-10-27). But `git add -p` would never see a new file, since we only consider the set of tracked files in the index. However, since the same machinery was used for `git checkout -p` & friends, we can see new files. Handle this case specifically, adding a new prompt for it that is modeled after the `deleted file` case. This also fixes the problem where added _empty_ files could not be staged via `git checkout -p`.

2019-12-06git add -p: use non-zero exit code when the diff generation failedJohannes Schindelin1-3/+5
The first thing `git add -p` does is to generate a diff. If this diff cannot be generated, `git add -p` should not continue as if nothing happened, but instead fail. What we *actually* do here is much broader: we now verify for *every* `run_cmd_pipe()` call that the spawned process actually succeeded. Note that we have to change two callers in this patch, as we need to store the spawned process' output in a local variable, which means that the callers can no longer decide whether to interpret the `return <$fh>` in array or in scalar context. This bug was noticed while writing a test case for the diff.algorithm feature, and we let that test case double as a regression test for this fixed bug, too.

Commit fecc6f3a68 ("add -p: adjust offsets of subsequent hunks when one is skipped", 2018-03-01) fixed adding hunks in the correct place when a previous hunk has been skipped. However it did not address patches that are applied in reverse. In that case we need to adjust the pre-image offset so that when apply reverses the patch the post-image offset is adjusted correctly. We subtract rather than add the delta as the patch is reversed (the easiest way to think about it is to consider a hunk of deletions that is skipped - in that case we want to reduce offset so we need to subtract).

When user edits the patch in "git add -p" and the user's editor is set to strip trailing whitespaces indiscriminately, an empty line that is unchanged in the patch would become completely empty (instead of a line with a sole SP on it). The code introduced in Git 2.17 timeframe failed to parse such a patch, but now it learned to notice the situation and cope with it. * pw/add-p-recount: add -p: fix counting empty context lines in edited patches
2018-06-11add -p: fix counting empty context lines in edited patchesPhillip Wood1-1/+1
recount_edited_hunk() introduced in commit 2b8ea7f3c7 ("add -p: calculate offset delta for edited patches", 2018-03-05) required all context lines to start with a space, empty lines are not counted. This was intended to avoid any recounting problems if the user had introduced empty lines at the end when editing the patch. However this introduced a regression into 'git add -p' as it seems it is common for editors to strip the trailing whitespace from empty context lines when patches are edited thereby introducing empty lines that should be counted. 'git apply' knows how to deal with such empty lines and POSIX states that whether or not there is an space on an empty context line is implementation defined [1]. Fix the regression by counting lines that consist solely of a newline as well as lines starting with a space as context lines and add a test to prevent future regressions.

2018-03-05add -p: calculate offset delta for edited patchesPhillip Wood1-9/+50
Recount the number of preimage and postimage lines in a hunk after it has been edited so any change in the number of insertions or deletions can be used to adjust the offsets of subsequent hunks. If an edited hunk is subsequently split then the offset correction will be lost. It would be possible to fix this if it is a problem, however the code here is still an improvement on the status quo for the common case where an edited hunk is applied without being split. This is also a necessary step to removing '--recount' and '--allow-overlap' from the invocation of 'git apply'. Before '--recount' can be removed the splitting and coalescing counting needs to be fixed to handle a missing newline at the end of a file. In order to remove '--allow-overlap' there needs to be i) some way of verifying the offset data in the edited hunk (probably by correlating the preimage (or postimage if the patch is going to be applied in reverse) lines of the edited and unedited versions to see if they are offset or if any leading/trailing context lines have been removed) and ii) a way of dealing with edited hunks that change context lines that are shared with neighbouring hunks.

To fix this adjust the offset of subsequent hunks to correct for any change in the number of insertions or deletions due to the skipped hunk.

2017-03-17Merge branch 'jk/add-i-use-pathspecs'Junio C Hamano1-11/+2
"git add -p <pathspec>" unnecessarily expanded the pathspec to a list of individual files that matches the pathspec by running "git ls-files <pathspec>", before feeding it to "git diff-index" to see which paths have changes, because historically the pathspec language supported by "diff-index" was weaker. These days they are equivalent and there is no reason to internally expand it. This helps both performance and avoids command line argument limit on some platforms. * jk/add-i-use-pathspecs: add--interactive: do not expand pathspecs with ls-files
2017-03-14add--interactive: do not expand pathspecs with ls-filesJeff King1-11/+2
When we want to get the list of modified files, we first expand any user-provided pathspecs with "ls-files", and then feed the resulting list of paths as arguments to "diff-index" and "diff-files". If your pathspec expands into a large number of paths, you may run into one of two problems: 1. The OS may complain about the size of the argument list, and refuse to run. For example: $ (ulimit -s 128 && git add -p drivers) Can't exec "git": Argument list too long at .../git-add--interactive line 177. Died at .../git-add--interactive line 177. That's on the linux.git repository, which has about 20K files in the "drivers" directory (none of them modified in this case). The "ulimit -s" trick is necessary to show the problem on Linux even for such a gigantic set of paths. Other operating systems have much smaller limits (e.g., a real-world case was seen with only 5K files on OS X). 2. Even when it does work, it's really slow. The pathspec code is not optimized for huge numbers of paths. Here's the same case without the ulimit: $ time git add -p drivers No changes. real 0m16.559s user 0m53.140s sys 0m0.220s We can improve this by skipping "ls-files" completely, and just feeding the original pathspecs to the diff commands. This solution was discussed in 2010: http://public-inbox.org/git/20100105041438.GB12574@coredump.intra.peff.net/ but at the time the diff code's pathspecs were more primitive than those used by ls-files (e.g., they did not support globs). Making the change would have caused a user-visible regression, so we didn't. Since then, the pathspec code has been unified, and the diff commands natively understand pathspecs like '*.c'. This patch implements that solution. That skips the argument-list limits, and the result runs much faster: $ time git add -p drivers No changes. real 0m0.149s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.080s There are two new tests. The first just exercises the globbing behavior to confirm that we are not causing a regression there. The second checks the actual argument behavior using GIT_TRACE. We _could_ do it with the "ulimit -s" trick, as above. But that would mean the test could only run where "ulimit -s" works. And tests of that sort are expensive, because we have to come up with enough files to actually bust the limit (we can't just shrink the "128" down infinitely, since it is also the in-program stack size). Finally, two caveats and possibilities for future work: a. This fixes one argument-list expansion, but there may be others. In fact, it's very likely that if you run "git add -i" and select a large number of modified files that the script would try to feed them all to a single git command. In practice this is probably fine. The real issue here is that the argument list was growing with the _total_ number of files, not the number of modified or selected files. b. If the repository contains filenames with literal wildcard characters (e.g., "foo*"), the original code expanded them via "ls-files" and then fed those wildcard names to "diff-index", which would have treated them as wildcards. This was a bug, which is now fixed (though unless you really go through some contortions with ":(literal)", it's likely that your original pathspec would match whatever the accidentally-expanded wildcard would anyway). So this takes us one step closer to working correctly with files whose names contain wildcard characters, but it's likely that others remain (e.g., if "git add -i" feeds the selected paths to "git add").

2017-03-02add--interactive: fix missing file prompt for patch mode with "-i"Jeff King1-4/+4
When invoked as "git add -i", each menu interactive menu option prompts the user to select a list of files. This includes the "patch" option, which gets the list before starting the hunk-selection loop. As "git add -p", it behaves differently, and jumps straight to the hunk selection loop. Since 0539d5e6d (i18n: add--interactive: mark patch prompt for translation, 2016-12-14), the "add -i" case mistakenly jumps to straight to the hunk-selection loop. Prior to that commit the distinction between the two cases was managed by the $patch_mode variable. That commit used $patch_mode for something else, and moved the old meaning to the "$cmd" variable. But it forgot to update the $patch_mode check inside patch_update_cmd() which controls the file-list behavior. The simplest fix would be to change that line to check $cmd. But while we're here, let's use a less obscure name for this flag: $patch_mode_only, a boolean which tells whether we are in full-interactive mode or only in patch-mode.

2016-12-23diff: retire "compaction" heuristicsJunio C Hamano1-3/+0
When a patch inserts a block of lines, whose last lines are the same as the existing lines that appear before the inserted block, "git diff" can choose any place between these existing lines as the boundary between the pre-context and the added lines (adjusting the end of the inserted block as appropriate) to come up with variants of the same patch, and some variants are easier to read than others. We have been trying to improve the choice of this boundary, and Git 2.11 shipped with an experimental "compaction-heuristic". Since then another attempt to improve the logic further resulted in a new "indent-heuristic" logic. It is agreed that the latter gives better result overall, and the former outlived its usefulness. Retire "compaction", and keep "indent" as an experimental feature. The latter hopefully will be turned on by default in a future release, but that should be done as a separate step.

Alternatively one could mark N__('nothing') no-op in order to xgettext(1) extract the string and then trigger the translation at run time only with __($print->{FILE}), but that has the side effect of triggering retrieval of translations for the changes indicator too (e.g. +2/-1) which may or may not be a problem. To avoid that potential problem, mark only where there is certain to trigger translation only of those words but in this case we must also retrieve the translation for the eq tests, since the value assigned was of the translation, not the English source.

2016-09-19diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffsMichael Haggerty1-1/+4
Some groups of added/deleted lines in diffs can be slid up or down, because lines at the edges of the group are not unique. Picking good shifts for such groups is not a matter of correctness but definitely has a big effect on aesthetics. For example, consider the following two diffs. The first is what standard Git emits: --- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl +++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl @@ -231,6 +231,9 @@ if (!defined $initial_reply_to && $prompting) { } if (!$smtp_server) { + $smtp_server = $repo->config('sendemail.smtpserver'); +} +if (!$smtp_server) { foreach (qw( /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail )) { if (-x $_) { $smtp_server = $_; The following diff is equivalent, but is obviously preferable from an aesthetic point of view: --- a/9c572b21dd090a1e5c5bb397053bf8043ffe7fb4:git-send-email.perl +++ b/6dcfa306f2b67b733a7eb2d7ded1bc9987809edb:git-send-email.perl @@ -230,6 +230,9 @@ if (!defined $initial_reply_to && $prompting) { $initial_reply_to =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; } +if (!$smtp_server) { + $smtp_server = $repo->config('sendemail.smtpserver'); +} if (!$smtp_server) { foreach (qw( /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/lib/sendmail )) { if (-x $_) { This patch teaches Git to pick better positions for such "diff sliders" using heuristics that take the positions of nearby blank lines and the indentation of nearby lines into account. The existing Git code basically always shifts such "sliders" as far down in the file as possible. The only exception is when the slider can be aligned with a group of changed lines in the other file, in which case Git favors depicting the change as one add+delete block rather than one add and a slightly offset delete block. This naive algorithm often yields ugly diffs. Commit d634d61ed6 improved the situation somewhat by preferring to position add/delete groups to make their last line a blank line, when that is possible. This heuristic does more good than harm, but (1) it can only help if there are blank lines in the right places, and (2) always picks the last blank line, even if there are others that might be better. The end result is that it makes perhaps 1/3 as many errors as the default Git algorithm, but that still leaves a lot of ugly diffs. This commit implements a new and much better heuristic for picking optimal "slider" positions using the following approach: First observe that each hypothetical positioning of a diff slider introduces two splits: one between the context lines preceding the group and the first added/deleted line, and the other between the last added/deleted line and the first line of context following it. It tries to find the positioning that creates the least bad splits. Splits are evaluated based only on the presence and locations of nearby blank lines, and the indentation of lines near the split. Basically, it prefers to introduce splits adjacent to blank lines, between lines that are indented less, and between lines with the same level of indentation. In more detail: 1. It measures the following characteristics of a proposed splitting position in a `struct split_measurement`: * the number of blank lines above the proposed split * whether the line directly after the split is blank * the number of blank lines following that line * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line above the split * the indentation of the line directly below the split * the indentation of the nearest non-blank line after that line 2. It combines the measured attributes using a bunch of empirically-optimized weighting factors to derive a `struct split_score` that measures the "badness" of splitting the text at that position. 3. It combines the `split_score` for the top and the bottom of the slider at each of its possible positions, and selects the position that has the best `split_score`. I determined the initial set of weighting factors by collecting a corpus of Git histories from 29 open-source software projects in various programming languages. I generated many diffs from this corpus, and determined the best positioning "by eye" for about 6600 diff sliders. I used about half of the repositories in the corpus (corresponding to about 2/3 of the sliders) as a training set, and optimized the weights against this corpus using a crude automated search of the parameter space to get the best agreement with the manually-determined values. Then I tested the resulting heuristic against the full corpus. The results are summarized in the following table, in column `indent-1`: | repository | count | Git 2.9.0 | compaction | compaction-fixed | indent-1 | indent-2 | | --------------------- | ----- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- | | afnetworking | 109 | 89 (81.7%) | 37 (33.9%) | 37 (33.9%) | 2 (1.8%) | 2 (1.8%) | | alamofire | 30 | 18 (60.0%) | 14 (46.7%) | 15 (50.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | angular | 184 | 127 (69.0%) | 39 (21.2%) | 23 (12.5%) | 5 (2.7%) | 5 (2.7%) | | animate | 313 | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | 2 (0.6%) | | ant | 380 | 356 (93.7%) | 152 (40.0%) | 148 (38.9%) | 15 (3.9%) | 15 (3.9%) | * | bugzilla | 306 | 263 (85.9%) | 109 (35.6%) | 99 (32.4%) | 14 (4.6%) | 15 (4.9%) | * | corefx | 126 | 91 (72.2%) | 22 (17.5%) | 21 (16.7%) | 6 (4.8%) | 6 (4.8%) | | couchdb | 78 | 44 (56.4%) | 26 (33.3%) | 28 (35.9%) | 6 (7.7%) | 6 (7.7%) | * | cpython | 937 | 158 (16.9%) | 50 (5.3%) | 49 (5.2%) | 5 (0.5%) | 5 (0.5%) | * | discourse | 160 | 95 (59.4%) | 42 (26.2%) | 36 (22.5%) | 18 (11.2%) | 13 (8.1%) | | docker | 307 | 194 (63.2%) | 198 (64.5%) | 253 (82.4%) | 8 (2.6%) | 8 (2.6%) | * | electron | 163 | 132 (81.0%) | 38 (23.3%) | 39 (23.9%) | 6 (3.7%) | 6 (3.7%) | | git | 536 | 470 (87.7%) | 73 (13.6%) | 78 (14.6%) | 16 (3.0%) | 16 (3.0%) | * | gitflow | 127 | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | ionic | 133 | 89 (66.9%) | 29 (21.8%) | 38 (28.6%) | 1 (0.8%) | 1 (0.8%) | | ipython | 482 | 362 (75.1%) | 167 (34.6%) | 169 (35.1%) | 11 (2.3%) | 11 (2.3%) | * | junit | 161 | 147 (91.3%) | 67 (41.6%) | 66 (41.0%) | 1 (0.6%) | 1 (0.6%) | * | lighttable | 15 | 5 (33.3%) | 0 (0.0%) | 2 (13.3%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | magit | 88 | 75 (85.2%) | 11 (12.5%) | 9 (10.2%) | 1 (1.1%) | 0 (0.0%) | | neural-style | 28 | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | nodejs | 781 | 649 (83.1%) | 118 (15.1%) | 111 (14.2%) | 4 (0.5%) | 5 (0.6%) | * | phpmyadmin | 491 | 481 (98.0%) | 75 (15.3%) | 48 (9.8%) | 2 (0.4%) | 2 (0.4%) | * | react-native | 168 | 130 (77.4%) | 79 (47.0%) | 81 (48.2%) | 0 (0.0%) | 0 (0.0%) | | rust | 171 | 128 (74.9%) | 30 (17.5%) | 27 (15.8%) | 16 (9.4%) | 14 (8.2%) | | spark | 186 | 149 (80.1%) | 52 (28.0%) | 52 (28.0%) | 2 (1.1%) | 2 (1.1%) | | tensorflow | 115 | 66 (57.4%) | 48 (41.7%) | 48 (41.7%) | 5 (4.3%) | 5 (4.3%) | | test-more | 19 | 15 (78.9%) | 2 (10.5%) | 2 (10.5%) | 1 (5.3%) | 1 (5.3%) | * | test-unit | 51 | 34 (66.7%) | 14 (27.5%) | 8 (15.7%) | 2 (3.9%) | 2 (3.9%) | * | xmonad | 23 | 22 (95.7%) | 2 (8.7%) | 2 (8.7%) | 1 (4.3%) | 1 (4.3%) | * | --------------------- | ----- | -------------- | -------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- | | totals | 6668 | 4391 (65.9%) | 1496 (22.4%) | 1491 (22.4%) | 150 (2.2%) | 144 (2.2%) | | totals (training set) | 4552 | 3195 (70.2%) | 1053 (23.1%) | 1061 (23.3%) | 86 (1.9%) | 88 (1.9%) | | totals (test set) | 2116 | 1196 (56.5%) | 443 (20.9%) | 430 (20.3%) | 64 (3.0%) | 56 (2.6%) | In this table, the numbers are the count and percentage of human-rated sliders that the corresponding algorithm got *wrong*.

Note that the results are not dramatically different than those for "compaction". Both produce non-ideal diffs only about 1/3 as often as the default `git diff`. * "indent-1" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the first set of weighting factors, determined as described above. * "indent-2" - the new `--indent-heuristic` algorithm, using the final set of weighting factors, determined as described below. * `*` - indicates that repo was part of training set used to determine the first set of weighting factors. The fact that the heuristic performed nearly as well on the test set as on the training set in column "indent-1" is a good indication that the heuristic was not over-trained. Given that fact, I ran a second round of optimization, using the entire corpus as the training set. The resulting set of weights gave the results in column "indent-2". These are the weights included in this patch. The final result gives consistently and significantly better results across the whole corpus than either `git diff` or `git diff --compaction-heuristic`. It makes only about 1/30 as many errors as the former and about 1/10 as many errors as the latter. (And a good fraction of the remaining errors are for diffs that involve weirdly-formatted code, sometimes apparently machine-generated.) The tools that were used to do this optimization and analysis, along with the human-generated data values, are recorded in a separate project [1]. This patch adds a new command-line option `--indent-heuristic`, and a new configuration setting `diff.indentHeuristic`, that activate this heuristic. This interface is only meant for testing purposes, and should be finalized before including this change in any release.

But there's not any way for somebody who uses a diff-filter tool like contrib's diff-highlight to see their normal highlighting. This patch lets users define an arbitrary shell command to pipe the colorized diff through. The exact output shouldn't matter (since we just show the result to humans) as long as it is line-compatible with the original diff (so that hunk-splitting can split the colorized version, too). I left two minor issues with the new system that I don't think are worth fixing right now, but could be done later: 1. We only filter colorized diffs. Theoretically a user could want to filter a non-colorized diff, but I find it unlikely in practice. Users who are doing things like diff-highlighting are likely to want color, too. 2. add--interactive will re-colorize a diff which has been hand-edited, but it won't have run through the filter. Fixing this is conceptually easy (just pipe the diff through the filter), but practically hard to do without using tempfiles (it would need to feed data to and read the result from the filter without deadlocking; this raises portability questions with respect to Windows). I've punted on both issues for now, and if somebody really cares later, they can do a patch on top. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it" interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the user could have made was to choose nothing. * ak/add-i-empty-candidates: add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidate
2015-01-22add -i: return from list_and_choose if there is no candidateAlexander Kuleshov1-0/+5
The list_and_choose() helper is given a prompt and a list, asks the user to make selection from the list, and then returns a list of items chosen. Even when it is given an empty list as the original candidate set to choose from, it gave a prompt to the user, who can only say "I am done choosing". Return an empty result when the input is an empty list without bothering the user. The existing caller must already have a logic to say "Nothing to do" or an equivalent when the returned list is empty (i.e. the user chose to select nothing) if it is necessary, so no change to the callers is necessary. This fixes the case where "add untracked" is asked in "git add -i" and there is no untracked files in the working tree. We used to give an empty list of files to choose from with a prompt, but with this change, we no longer do.

2014-12-15add--interactive: leave main loop on read errorJeff King1-0/+1
The main hunk loop for add--interactive will loop if it does not get a known input. This is a good thing if the user typed some invalid input. However, if we have an uncorrectable read error, we'll end up looping infinitely. We can fix this by noticing read errors (i.e., <STDIN> returns undef) and breaking out of the loop. One easy way to trigger this is if you have an editor that does not take over the terminal (e.g., one that spawns a window in an existing process and waits), start the editor with the hunk-edit command, and hit ^C to send SIGINT. The editor process dies due to SIGINT, but the perl add--interactive process does not (perl suspends SIGINT for the duration of our system() call). We return to the main loop, but further reads from stdin don't work. The SIGINT _also_ killed our parent git process, which orphans our process group, meaning that further reads from the terminal will always fail. We loop infinitely, getting EIO on each read. Note that there are several other spots where we read from stdin, too. However, in each of those cases, we do something sane when the read returns undef (breaking out of the loop, taking the input as "no", etc). They don't need similar treatment.

Back in 21e9757e (Hack git-add--interactive to make it work with ActiveState Perl, 2007-08-01), the invocation of external commands was changed to use qx{} on Windows. The rationale was that the command interpreter on Windows is not a POSIX shell, but rather Windows's CMD. That patch was wrong to include 'msys' in the check whether to use qx{} or not: 'msys' identifies MSYS perl as shipped with Git for Windows, which does not need the special treatment; qx{} should be used only with ActiveState perl, which is identified by 'MSWin32'.

2013-06-12add--interactive: respect diff.algorithmJohn Keeping1-0/+5
When staging hunks interactively it is sometimes useful to use an alternative diff algorithm which splits the changes into hunks in a more logical manner. This is not possible because the plumbing commands called by add--interactive ignore the "diff.algorithm" configuration option (as they should). Since add--interactive is a porcelain command it should respect this configuration variable. To do this, make it read diff.algorithm and pass its value to the underlying diff-index and diff-files invocations. At this point, do not add options to "git add", "git reset" or "git checkout" (all of which can call git-add--interactive). If a user wants to override the value on the command line they can use: git -c diff.algorithm=$ALGO ...

2012-04-05add--interactive: ignore unmerged entries in patch modeJeff King1-7/+18
When "add -p" sees an unmerged entry, it shows the combined diff and then immediately skips the hunk. This can be confusing in a variety of ways, depending on whether there are other changes to stage (in which case you get the superfluous combined diff output in between other hunks) or not (in which case you get the combined diff and the program exits immediately, rather than seeing "No changes"). The current behavior was not planned, and is just what the implementation happens to do. Instead, let's explicitly remove unmerged entries from our list of modified files, and print a warning that we are ignoring them. We can cheaply find which entries are unmerged by adding "--raw" output to the "diff-files --numstat" we already run. There is one non-obvious thing we must change when parsing this combined output. Before this patch, when we saw a numstat line for a file that did not have index changes, we would create a new record with 'unchanged' in the 'INDEX' field. Because "--raw" comes before "--numstat", we must move this special-case down to the raw-line case (and it is sufficient to move it rather than handle it in both places, since any file which has a --numstat will also have a --raw entry).

2011-05-17add -i: ignore terminal escape sequencesThomas Rast1-0/+19
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [ characters and happily treat A as "discard everything". As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities. Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[ (i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck if the user actually input a lone ^[. Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help displayed.

2011-04-29"add -p": work-around an old laziness that does not coalesce hunksJunio C Hamano1-1/+1
Since 0beee4c (git-add--interactive: remove hunk coalescing, 2008-07-02), "git add--interactive" behaves lazily and passes overlapping hunks to the underlying "git apply" without coalescing. This was partially corrected by 7a26e65 (its partial revert, 2009-05-16), but overlapping hunks are still passed when the patch is edited. Teach "git apply" the --allow-overlap option that disables a safety feature that avoids misapplication of patches by not applying patches to overlapping hunks, and pass this option form "add -p" codepath. Do not even advertise the option, as this is merely a workaround, and the correct fix is to make "add -p" correctly coalesce adjacent patch hunks. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference".

2010-02-22add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line orderingJeff King1-1/+23
When we look at a patch for adding hunks interactively, we first split it into a header and a list of hunks. Some of the header lines, such as mode changes and deletion, however, become their own selectable hunks. Later when we reassemble the patch, we simply concatenate the header and the selected hunks. This leads to patches like this: diff --git a/file b/file index d95f3ad..0000000 --- a/file +++ /dev/null deleted file mode 100644 @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -content Notice how the deletion comes _after_ the ---/+++ lines, when it should come before. In many cases, we can get away with this as git-apply accepts the slightly bogus input. However, in the specific case of a deletion line that is being applied via "apply -R", this malformed patch triggers an assert in git-apply. This comes up when discarding a deletion via "git checkout -p". Rather than try to make git-apply accept our odd input, let's just reassemble the patch in the correct order.

Commit 24ab81a fixed the deletion of empty files, but broke deletion of non-empty files. The approach it took was to factor out the "deleted" line from the patch header into its own hunk, the same way we do for mode changes. However, unlike mode changes, we only showed the special "delete this file" hunk if there were no other hunks. Otherwise, the user would annoyingly be presented with _two_ hunks: one for deleting the file and one for deleting the content. This meant that in the non-empty case, we forgot about the deleted line entirely, and we submitted a bogus patch to git-apply (with "/dev/null" as the destination file, but not marked as a deletion). Instead, this patch combines the file deletion hunk and the content deletion hunk (if there is one) into a single deletion hunk which is either staged or not.

This adds a hunk-based mode to git-stash. You can select hunks from the difference between HEAD and worktree, and git-stash will build a stash that reflects these changes. The index state of the stash is the same as your current index, and we also let --patch imply --keep-index. Note that because the selected hunks are rolled back from the worktree but not the index, the resulting state may appear somewhat confusing if you had also staged these changes.

This introduces a --patch mode for git-checkout. In the index usage git checkout --patch -- [files...] it lets the user discard edits from the <files> at the granularity of hunks (by selecting hunks from 'git diff' and then reverse applying them to the worktree). We also accept a revision argument. In the case git checkout --patch HEAD -- [files...] we offer hunks from the difference between HEAD and the worktree, and reverse applies them to both index and worktree, allowing you to discard staged changes completely. In the non-HEAD usage git checkout --patch <revision> -- [files...] it offers hunks from the difference between the worktree and <revision>. The chosen hunks are then applied to both index and worktree. The application to worktree and index is done "atomically" in the sense that we first check if the patch applies to the index (it should always apply to the worktree).

2009-04-19add-interactive: refactor mode hunk handlingJeff King1-43/+21
The original implementation considered the mode separately from the rest of the hunks, asking about it outside the main hunk-selection loop. This patch instead places a mode change as the first hunk in the loop. This has two advantages: 1. less duplicated code (since we use the main selection loop). This also cleans up an inconsistency, which is that the main selection loop separates options with a comma, whereas the mode prompt used slashes. 2. users can now skip the mode change and come back to it, search for it (via "/mode"), etc, as they can with other hunks. To facilitate this, each hunk is now marked with a "type". Mode hunks are not considered for splitting (which would make no sense, and also confuses the split_hunk function), nor are they editable. In theory, one could edit the mode lines and change to a new mode. In practice, there are only two modes that git cares about (0644 and 0755), so either you want to move from one to the other or not (and you can do that by staging or not staging).

2009-02-08add -p: get rid of Git.pm warnings about unitialized valuesStephan Beyer1-1/+2
After invoking git add -p I always got the warnings: Use of uninitialized value $_[3] in exec at Git.pm line 1282. Use of uninitialized value $args[2] in join or string at Git.pm line 1264. A bisect showed that these warnings occur in a301973 "add -p: print errors in separate color" the first time. They can be reproduced by setting color.ui (or color.interactive) to "auto" and unsetting color.interactive.help and color.interactive.error. I am using Perl 5.10.0. The reason of the warning is that color.interactive.error defaults to color.interactive.help which defaults to nothing in the specific codepath. It defaults to 'red bold' some lines above which could lead to the wrong assumption that it always defaults to 'red bold' now. This patch lets it default to 'red bold', blowing the warnings away.

2008-07-02git-add--interactive: manual hunk editing modeThomas Rast1-0/+119
Adds a new option 'e' to the 'add -p' command loop that lets you edit the current hunk in your favourite editor. If the resulting patch applies cleanly, the edited hunk will immediately be marked for staging. If it does not apply cleanly, you will be given an opportunity to edit again. If all lines of the hunk are removed, then the edit is aborted and the hunk is left unchanged. Applying the changed hunk(s) relies on Johannes Schindelin's new --recount option for git-apply. Note that the "real patch" test intentionally uses (echo e; echo n; echo d) | git add -p even though the 'n' and 'd' are superfluous at first sight. They serve to get out of the interaction loop if git add -p wrongly concludes the patch does not apply. Many thanks to Jeff King <peff@peff.net> for lots of help and suggestions.

2008-03-27add--interactive: ignore mode change in 'p'atch commandJeff King1-0/+16
When a path is examined in the patch subcommand, any mode changes in the file are given to use in the diff header by git-diff. If no hunks are staged, then we throw out that header and do not touch the path. But if _any_ hunks are staged, we use the header, and the mode is changed together with the contents. Since the 'p'atch command should just be dealing with hunks that are shown to the user, it makes sense to just ignore mode changes entirely. We do squirrel away the mode, though, since the next patch will allow users to select the mode update separately.

2008-01-06add--interactive: allow diff colors without interactive colorsJeff King1-24/+15
Users with color.diff set to true/auto will not see color in "git add -i" unless they also set color.interactive. This changes the semantics of color.interactive to control only the coloring of the interaction aspect of the command and let color.diff to control the color of hunk picker, which would arguably be more convenient. Old $use_color variable is now renamed to $menu_use_color to make it clear that it is about coloring the interaction. The "colored" subroutine now checks if the passed color is defined, instead of checking $use_color variable, to decide if the lines should be colored. The various variables that define colors for different parts of the output are set or unset depending on the setting of color.interactive and color.diff configuration variables.

2008-01-06add--interactive: remove unused diff colorsJeff King1-5/+1
When color support was added, we colored the diffs ourselves. However, 4af756f3 changed this to simply run "git diff-files" twice, keeping the colored output separately. This makes the internal diff color variables obsolete with one exception: when splitting hunks, we have to manually recreate the fragment for each part of the split. Thus we keep $fraginfo_color around to do that correctly. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-08Teach "git add -i" to colorize whitespace errorsWincent Colaiuta1-39/+34
Rather than replicating the colorization logic of "git diff-files" we rely on "git diff-files" itself. This guarantees consistent colorization in and outside "git add -i". Seeing as speed is not a concern here (the bottleneck is how fast the user can read, not how fast "git diff-files" runs) we do this by actually running it twice, once without color and once with. In this way as the whitespace colorization provided by "git diff-files" evolves (per-path attributes, new classes of whitespace error), "git add -i" will automatically benefit from it and stay in synch. Also, by working with two sets of diff output (an uncolorized one for internal processing and a colorized one for display only) we minimize the risk of regressions because the changes required to implement this are minimally invasive.

2007-12-05Color support for "git-add -i"Junio C Hamano1-20/+99
This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

2007-11-30Highlight keyboard shortcuts in git-add--interactiveWincent Colaiuta1-5/+82
The user interface provided by the command loop in git-add--interactive gives the impression that subcommands can only be launched by entering an integer identifier from 1 through 8. A "hidden" feature is that any string can be entered, and a regex search anchored at the beginning of the string is used to find the uniquely matching option. This patch makes this feature a little more obvious by highlighting the first character of each subcommand (for example "patch" is displayed as "[p]atch"). A new function is added to detect the shortest unique prefix and this is used to decide what to highlight. Highlighting is also applied when choosing files. In the case where the common prefix may be unreasonably large highlighting is omitted; in this patch the soft limit (above which the highlighting will be omitted for a particular item) is 0 (in other words, there is no soft limit) and the hard limit (above which highlighting will be omitted for all items) is 3, but this can be tweaked. The actual highlighting is done by the highlight_prefix function, which will enable us to implement ANSI color code-based highlighting (most likely using underline or boldface) in the future.

The hunk header "@@ -10,1 +10,1 @@" can be expressed as "@@ -10 +10 @@", but this wasn't properly parsed in all cases. Such abbreviated hunk headers are generated when a one-line change (add, remove or modify) appears without context; for example because the file is a one-liner itself or because GIT_DIFF_OPTS was set to '-u0'.

2006-12-18git-add --interactiveJunio C Hamano1-0/+570
A script to be driven when the user says "git add --interactive" is introduced. When it is run, first it runs its internal 'status' command to show the current status, and then goes into its internactive command loop. The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends with a single '>', you can pick only one of the choices given and type return, like this: *** Commands *** 1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked 5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help What now> 1 You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the choice is unique. The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit). * 'status' shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be committed if you say "git commit"), and between index and working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample output looks like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no difference between indexed copy and the working tree version (if the working tree version were also different, 'binary' would have been shown in place of 'nothing'). The other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but working tree file has further modifications (one addition and one deletion). * 'update' shows the status information and gives prompt "Update>>". When the prompt ends with double '>>', you can make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose 2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say '*' to choose everything. What you chose are then highlighted with '*', like this: staged unstaged path 1: binary nothing foo.png * 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl To remove selection, prefix the input with - like this: Update>> -2 After making the selection, answer with an empty line to stage the contents of working tree files for selected paths in the index. * 'revert' has a very similar UI to 'update', and the staged information for selected paths are reverted to that of the HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked. * 'add untracked' has a very similar UI to 'update' and 'revert', and lets you add untracked paths to the index. * 'patch' lets you choose one path out of 'status' like selection. After choosing the path, it presents diff between the index and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage the change of each hunk. You can say: y - add the change from that hunk to index n - do not add the change from that hunk to index a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next undecided hunk J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous undecided hunk K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks. * 'diff' lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between HEAD and index). This is still rough, but does everything except a few things I think are needed. * 'patch' should be able to allow splitting a hunk into multiple hunks. * 'patch' does not adjust the line offsets @@ -k,l +m,n @@ in the hunk header. This does not have major problem in practice, but it _should_ do the adjustment. * It does not have any explicit support for a merge in progress; it may not work at all.
