Merge branch 'jc/diff-filter-negation'

2013-09-09T21:28:35+00:00

Teach "git diff --diff-filter" to express "I do not want to see
these classes of changes" more directly by listing only the
unwanted ones in lowercase (e.g. "--diff-filter=d" will show
everything but deletion) and deprecate "diff-files -q" which did
the same thing as "--diff-filter=d".

* jc/diff-filter-negation:
  diff: deprecate -q option to diff-files
  diff: allow lowercase letter to specify what change class to exclude
  diff: reject unknown change class given to --diff-filter
  diff: preparse --diff-filter string argument
  diff: factor out match_filter()
  diff: pass the whole diff_options to diffcore_apply_filter()

diff: fix a possible null pointer dereference

2013-08-09T19:07:36+00:00

The condition in the ternary operator was wrong, hence the wrong char
pointer could be used as the parameter for show_submodule_summary.
one->path may be null, but we definitely need a non null path given
to the function.

diff: remove ternary operator evaluating always to true

2013-08-09T19:05:16+00:00

The line being changed is deep inside the function builtin_diff.
The variable name_b, which is used to evaluate the ternary expression
must evaluate to true at that position, hence the replacement with
just name_b.

The name_b variable only occurs a few times in that lengthy function:
As a parameter to the function itself:
	static void builtin_diff(const char *name_a,
				 const char *name_b,
				...
The next occurrences are at:
	/* Never use a non-valid filename anywhere if at all possible */
	name_a = DIFF_FILE_VALID(one) ? name_a : name_b;
	name_b = DIFF_FILE_VALID(two) ? name_b : name_a;

	a_one = quote_two(a_prefix, name_a + (*name_a == '/'));
	b_two = quote_two(b_prefix, name_b + (*name_b == '/'));

In the last line of this block 'name_b' is dereferenced and compared
to '/'. This would crash if name_b was NULL. Hence in the following code
we can assume name_b being non-null.

The next occurrence is just as a function argument, which doesn't change
the memory, which name_b points to, so the assumption name_b being not
null still holds:
	emit_rewrite_diff(name_a, name_b, one, two,
				textconv_one, textconv_two, o);

The next occurrence would be the line of this patch. As name_b still must
be not null, we can remove the ternary operator.

Inside the emit_rewrite_diff function there is a also a line
	ecbdata.ws_rule = whitespace_rule(name_b ? name_b : name_a);
which was also simplified as there is also a dereference before the
ternary operator.

diff: deprecate -q option to diff-files

2013-07-19T22:20:47+00:00

This reimplements the ancient "-q" option to "git diff-files" that
was inherited from "show-diff -q" in terms of "--diff-filter=d".  We
will be deprecating the "-q" option, so let's issue a warning when
we do so.

Incidentally this also tentatively fixes "git diff --no-index" to
honor "-q" and hide deletions; the use will get the same warning.

We should remove the support for "-q" in a future version but it is
not that urgent.

diff: allow --patch & cie to override -s/--no-patch

2013-07-18T00:50:56+00:00

All options that trigger a patch output now override --no-patch.

The case of --binary deserves extra attention: the name may suggest that
it turns a normal patch into a binary patch, but it actually already
enables patch output when normally disabled (e.g. "git log --binary"
displays a patch), hence it makes sense for "git show --no-patch
--binary" to display the binary patch.
