When QUICK is set (i.e. with --quiet) we try to do as little work as
possible, stopping after seeing the first change. stat-dirty is
considered a "change" but it may turn out not, if no actual content is
changed. The actual content test is performed too late in the process
and the shortcut may be taken prematurely, leading to incorrect return
code.
Assume we do "git diff --quiet". If we have a stat-dirty file "a" and
a really dirty file "b". We break the loop in run_diff_files() and
stop after "a" because we have got a "change". Later in
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() we find out "a" is actually not
changed. But there's nothing else in the diff queue, we incorrectly
declare "no change", ignoring the fact that "b" is changed.
This also happens to "git diff --quiet HEAD" when it hits
diff_can_quit_early() in oneway_diff().
This patch does the content test earlier in order to keep going if "a"
is unchanged. The test result is cached so that when
diffcore_skip_stat_unmatch() is done in the end, we spend no cycles on
re-testing "a".

Linus once said:
I actually wish more people understood the really core low-level
kind of coding. Not big, complex stuff like the lockless name
lookup, but simply good use of pointers-to-pointers etc. For
example, I've seen too many people who delete a singly-linked
list entry by keeping track of the "prev" entry, and then to
delete the entry, doing something like
if (prev)
prev->next = entry->next;
else
list_head = entry->next;
and whenever I see code like that, I just go "This person
doesn't understand pointers". And it's sadly quite common.
People who understand pointers just use a "pointer to the entry
pointer", and initialize that with the address of the
list_head. And then as they traverse the list, they can remove
the entry without using any conditionals, by just doing a "*pp =
entry->next".
Applying that simplification lets us lose 7 lines from this function
even while adding 2 lines of comment.
I was tempted to squash this into the original commit, but because
the benchmarking described in the commit log is without this
simplification, I decided to keep it a separate follow-up patch.

When generating combined diff, for each commit, we intersect diff
paths from diff(parent_0,commit) to diff(parent_i,commit) comparing
all paths pairs, i.e. doing it the quadratic way. That is correct,
but could be optimized.
Paths come from trees in sorted (= tree) order, and so does diff_tree()
emits resulting paths in that order too. Now if we look at diffcore
transformations, all of them, except diffcore_order, preserve resulting
path ordering:
- skip_stat_unmatch, grep, pickaxe, filter
-- just skip elements -> order stays preserved
- break -- just breaks diff for a path, adding path
dup after the path -> order stays preserved
- detect rename/copy -- resulting paths are emitted sorted
(verified empirically)
So only diffcore_order changes diff paths ordering.
But diffcore_order meaning affects only presentation - i.e. only how to
show the diff, so we could do all the internal computations without
paths reordering, and order only resultant paths set. This is faster,
since, if we know two paths sets are all ordered, their intersection
could be done in linear time.
This patch does just that.
Timings for `git log --raw --no-abbrev --no-renames` without `-c` ("git log")
and with `-c` ("git log -c") before and after the patch are as follows:
linux.git v3.10..v3.11
log log -c

after 1.9s 16.6s
navy.git (private repo)
log log -c
before 0.83s 15.6s
after 0.83s 2.1s
P.S.
I think linux.git case is sped up not so much as the second one, since
in navy.git, there are more exotic (subtree, etc) merges.
P.P.S.
My tracing showed that the rest of the time (16.6s vs 1.9s) is usually
spent in computing huge diffs from commit to second parent. Will try to
deal with it, if I'll have time.

This continues 4651ece8 (Switch over tree descriptors to contain a
pre-parsed entry) and moves the only rest computational part
mode = canon_mode(mode)
from tree_entry_extract() to tree entry decode phase - to
decode_tree_entry().
The reason to do it, is that canon_mode() is at least 2 conditional
jumps for regular files, and that could be noticeable should canon_mode()
be invoked several times.
That does not matter for current Git codebase, where typical tree
traversal is
while (t->size) {
sha1 = tree_entry_extract(t, &path, &mode);
...
update_tree_entry(t);
}
i.e. we do t -> sha1,path.mode "extraction" only once per entry. In such
cases, it does not matter performance-wise, where that mode
canonicalization is done - either once in tree_entry_extract(), or once
in decode_tree_entry() called by update_tree_entry() - it is
approximately the same.
But for future code, which could need to work with several tree_desc's
in parallel, it could be handy to operate on tree_desc descriptors, and
do "extracts" only when needed, or at all, access only relevant part of
it through structure fields directly.
And for such situations, having canon_mode() be done once in decode
phase is better - we won't need to pay the performance price of 2 extra
conditional jumps on every t->mode access.
So let's move mode canonicalization to decode_tree_entry(). That was the
final bit. Now after tree entry is decoded, it is fully ready and could
be accessed either directly via field, or through tree_entry_extract()
which this time got really "totally trivial".

This instance was left out when many match_pathspec() call sites that

This patch activates the DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY code in m_p_i(), which
makes "git diff HEAD submodule/" and "git diff HEAD submodule" produce
the same output. Previously only the version without trailing slash
returns the difference (if any).
That's the effect of new ce_path_match(). dir_path_match() is not
executed by the new tests. And it should not introduce regressions.
Previously if path "dir/" is passed in with pathspec "dir/", they
obviously match. With new dir_path_match(), the path becomes
_directory_ "dir" vs pathspec "dir/", which is not executed by the old
code path in m_p_i(). The new code path is executed and produces the
same result.
The other case is pathspec "dir" and path "dir/" is now turned to
"dir" (with DO_MATCH_DIRECTORY). Still the same result before or after
the patch.

The previous code only checked out branches in cmd_add. This commit
moves the branch-checkout logic into module_clone, where it can be
shared by cmd_add and cmd_update. I also update the initial checkout
command to use 'reset' to preserve branches setup during module_clone.
With this change, folks cloning submodules for the first time via:
$ git submodule update ...
will get a local branch instead of a detached HEAD, unless they are
using the default checkout-mode updates. This is a change from the
previous situation where cmd_update always used checkout-mode logic
(regardless of the requested update mode) for updates that triggered
an initial clone, which always resulted in a detached HEAD.
This commit does not change the logic for updates after the initial
clone, which will continue to create detached HEADs for checkout-mode
updates, and integrate remote work with the local HEAD (detached or
not) in other modes.
The motivation for the change is that developers doing local work
inside the submodule are likely to select a non-checkout-mode for
updates so their local work is integrated with upstream work.
Developers who are not doing local submodule work stick with
checkout-mode updates so any apparently local work is blown away
during updates. For example, if upstream rolls back the remote branch
or gitlinked commit to an earlier version, the checkout-mode developer
wants their old submodule checkout to be rolled back as well, instead
of getting a no-op merge/rebase with the rolled-back reference.
By using the update mode to distinguish submodule developers from
black-box submodule consumers, we can setup local branches for the
developers who will want local branches, and stick with detached HEADs
for the developers that don't care.
Testing
=======
In t7406, just-cloned checkouts now update to the gitlinked hash with
'reset', to preserve the local branch for situations where we're not
on a detached HEAD.
I also added explicit tests to t7406 for HEAD attachement after
cloning updates, showing that it depends on their update mode:
* Checkout-mode updates get detached HEADs
* Everyone else gets a local branch, matching the configured
submodule.<name>.branch and defaulting to master.
The 'initial-setup' tag makes it easy to reset the superproject to a
known state, as several earlier tests commit to submodules and commit
the changed gitlinks to the superproject, but don't push the new
submodule commits to the upstream subprojects. This makes it
impossible to checkout the current super master, because it references
submodule commits that don't exist in the upstream subprojects. For a
specific example, see the tests that currently generate the
'two_new_submodule_commits' commits.
Documentation
=============
I updated the docs to describe the 'submodule update' modes in detail.
The old documentation did not distinguish between cloning and
non-cloning updates and lacked clarity on which operations would lead
to detached HEADs, and which would not. The new documentation
addresses these issues while updating the docs to reflect the changes
introduced by this commit's explicit local branch creation in
module_clone.
I also add '--checkout' to the usage summary and group the update-mode
options into a single set.

Sometimes when working with a large repository it can be useful to try
out a merge and only check out conflicting files to disk (for example as
a speed optimization on a server). Until v1.7.7-rc1~28^2~20
(merge-recursive: When we detect we can skip an update, actually skip
it, 2011-08-11), it was possible to do so with the following idiom:
# Prepare a temporary index and empty work tree.
GIT_INDEX_FILE="$PWD/tmp-$$-index" &&
export GIT_INDEX_FILE &&
GIT_WORK_TREE="$PWD/tmp-$$-work" &&
export GIT_WORK_TREE &&
mkdir "$GIT_WORK_TREE" &&
# Convince the index that our side is on disk.
git read-tree -i -m $ours &&
git update-index --ignore-missing --refresh &&
# Merge their side into our side.
bases=$(git merge-base --all $ours $theirs) &&
git merge-recursive $bases -- $ours $theirs &&
tree=$(git write-tree)
Nowadays, that still works and the exit status is the same, but
merge-recursive produces a diagnostic if "our" side renamed a file:

The current code parses the config linearly and uses a
single string to store both values, overwriting any
previous value. Thus, config like:
[branch "master"]
pushremote = foo
[remote]
pushdefault = bar
erroneously ends up pushing to "bar" from the master branch.

If an ident line has a ridiculous date value like (2^64)+1,
we currently just pass ULONG_MAX along to the date code,
which can produce nonsensical dates.
On systems with a signed long time_t (e.g., 64-bit glibc
systems), this actually doesn't end up too bad. The
ULONG_MAX is converted to -1, we apply the timezone field to
that, and the result ends up somewhere between Dec 31, 1969
and Jan 1, 1970.
However, there is still a few good reasons to detect the
overflow explicitly:
1. On systems where "unsigned long" is smaller than
time_t, we get a nonsensical date in the future.
2. Even where it would produce "Dec 31, 1969", it's easier
to recognize "midnight Jan 1" as a consistent sentinel
value for "we could not parse this".
3. Values which do not overflow strtoul but do overflow a
signed time_t produce nonsensical values in the past.
For example, on a 64-bit system with a signed long
time_t, a timestamp of 18446744073000000000 produces a
date in 1947.
We also recognize overflow in the timezone field, which
could produce nonsensical results. In this case we show the
parsed date, but in UTC.

is actually smaller than "unsigned long" (e.g., because it
is signed), and we would overflow when using these
functions. We don't know the actual size or signedness of
time_t, but we can easily check for truncation with a simple
assignment.
