git-rebase--interactive.sh: Make 3-way merge strategies work for -p.
git-rebase--interactive.sh used to pass all parents of a merge commit to
git-merge, which means that we have at least 3 heads to merge: HEAD,
first parent and second parent. So 3-way merge strategies like recursive
wouldn't work.
Fortunately, we have checked out the first parent right before the merge
anyway, so that is HEAD. Therefore we can drop simply it from the list
of parents, making 3-way strategies work for merge commits with only
two parents.

Make merge-recursive honor diff.renamelimit
It might be a sign of source code management gone bad, but when two branches
has diverged almost beyond recognition and time has come for the branches to

diff.renamelimit has great potential as a painkiller in such situations.

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:
include/asm-x86/Kbuild | 2 -
include/asm-x86/debugreg.h | 79 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------
include/asm-x86/debugreg_32.h | 64 ---------------------------------
include/asm-x86/debugreg_64.h | 65 ---------------------------------
4 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-)
Becomes:

include/asm-x86/{debugreg_64.h => debugreg.h} | 9 +++-
include/asm-x86/debugreg_32.h | 64 -------------------------
3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-)
- This:
include/asm-x86/bug.h | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--

include/asm-x86/bug_32.h | 37 -----------------------------------
2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-)
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.

That happened in the case of a pathname that was ignored, and we did
not ask for "dir->show_ignored". That test used to be *together*
with the "DTYPE(de) != DT_DIR", but splitting the two tests up
means that we can do that (common) test before we even bother to
calculate the real dtype.
Of course, that optimization only matters for systems that don't
have, or don't fill in DTYPE properly.
I also clarified the real relationship between "exclude" and
"dir->show_ignored". It used to do
if (exclude != dir->show_ignored) {
..
which wasn't exactly obvious, because it triggers for two different
cases:
- the path is marked excluded, but we are not interested in ignored
files: ignore it
- the path is *not* excluded, but we *are* interested in ignored
files: ignore it unless it's a directory, in which case we might
have ignored files inside the directory and need to recurse
into it).
so this splits them into those two cases, since the first case
doesn't even care about the type.
I also made a the DT_UNKNOWN case a separate helper function,
and added some commentary to the cases.

state (index entries in the higher-order stages).
Attempting to run git-blame on any file in such a working directory
resulted in "fatal: internal error: ce_mode is 0" as we use the magic
marker for an unmerged entry is 0 (set up by things like diff-lib.c's
do_diff_cache() and builtin-read-tree.c's read_tree_unmerged())
and the ce_match_stat_basic() function gets upset about this.
I'm not entirely sure that the whole "ce_mode = 0" case is a good
idea to begin with, and maybe the right thing to do is to remove
that horrid freakish special case, but removing the internal error
seems to be the simplest fix for now.

patch to revision.c ("Fix revision log diff setup, avoid unnecessary diff

Why? Because --follow obviously requires the diff machinery to function,
exactly the same way pickaxe does.
So everybody is away right now, but considering that nobody even noticed
this bug, I don't think it matters. But for the record, here's the trivial
one-liner fix (well, two, since I also fixed the comment).
Because of the nature of the bug, if you ask for patches when following
(which is one of the things I normally do), the bug is hidden, because
then the request for diff output will automatically also enable the diffs
themselves.

Mergetool generating blank files (1.5.3)
When mergetool is run from a subdirectory, "ls-files -u" nicely
limits the output to conflicted files in that directory, but
we need to give the full path to cat-file plumbing to grab the
contents of stages.

quiltimport: Skip non-existent patches
When quiltimport encounters a non-existent patch in the series file,
just skip to the next patch. This matches the behavior of quilt.

apply: get rid of --index-info in favor of --build-fake-ancestor
git-am used "git apply -z --index-info" to find the original versions
of the files touched by the diff, to be able to do an inexpensive
three-way merge.
This operation makes only sense in a repository, since the index
information in the diff refers to blobs, which have to be present in
the current repository.
Therefore, teach "git apply" a mode to write out the result as an
index file to begin with, obviating the need for scripts to do it
themselves.
The sole user for --index-info is "git am" is converted to
use --build-fake-ancestor in this patch.

Move make_cache_entry() from merge-recursive.c into read-cache.c
The function make_cache_entry() is too useful to be hidden away in
merge-recursive. So move it to libgit.a (exposing it via cache.h).

core-tutorial: correct URL
The tinyurl is incorrect -- it attempts to go to groups.osdl.org,
which is gone. Either use the full URL (in patch) or create a new
tinyurl for this URL.
Is the web page (where I first saw this problem) generated from
this txt file?
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/core-tutorial.html
If not, it needs to be updated also.

gitattributes.txt: Be more to the point in the filter driver description.
The description was meant to emphasizes that the project should remain
usable even if the filter driver was not used. This makes it more explicit
and removes the "here is rope to hang yourself" paraphrase.
