This introduces the diff-core, the layer between the diff-tree family and the external diff interface engine. The calls to the interface diff-tree family uses (diff_change and diff_addremove) have not changed and will not change. The purpose of the diff-core layer is to provide an infrastructure to transform the set of differences sent from the applications, before sending them to the external diff interface. The recently introduced rename detection code has been rewritten to use the diff-core facility. When applications send in separate creates and deletes, matching ones are transformed into a single rename-and-edit diff, and sent out to the external diff interface as such. This patch also enhances the rename detection code further to be able to detect copies. Currently this happens only as long as copy sources appear as part of the modified files, but there already is enough provision for callers to report unmodified files to diff-core, so that they can be also used as copy source candidates. Extending the callers this way will be done in a separate patch. Please see and marvel at how well this works by trying out the newly added t/t4003-diff-rename-1.sh test script.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-diff-tree - Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-tree' [-p] [-r] [-z] [--stdin] [-M] [-R] [-C] [-m] [-s] [-v] <tree-ish> <tree-ish> [<pattern>]\*
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found via two tree objects.
|
|
|
|
Note that "git-diff-tree" can use the tree encapsulated in a commit object.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<tree-ish>::
|
|
The id of a tree object.
|
|
|
|
<pattern>::
|
|
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
|
|
matching one of these prefix strings.
|
|
ie file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
|
|
Note that pattern does not provide any wildcard or regexp
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
-p::
|
|
generate patch (see section on generating patches). For
|
|
git-diff-tree, this flag implies '-r' as well.
|
|
|
|
-M::
|
|
Detect renames; implies -p, in turn implying also '-r'.
|
|
|
|
-C::
|
|
Detect copies as well as renames; implies -p, in turn
|
|
implying also '-r'.
|
|
|
|
-R::
|
|
Output diff in reverse.
|
|
|
|
-r::
|
|
recurse
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
\0 line termination on output
|
|
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
When '--stdin' is specified, the command does not take
|
|
<tree-ish> arguments from the command line. Instead, it
|
|
reads either one <commit> or a pair of <tree-ish>
|
|
separated with a single space from its standard input.
|
|
+
|
|
When a single commit is given on one line of such input, it compares
|
|
the commit with its parents. The following flags further affects its
|
|
behaviour. This does not apply to the case where two <tree-ish>
|
|
separated with a single space are given.
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
By default, "git-diff-tree --stdin" does not show
|
|
differences for merge commits. With this flag, it shows
|
|
differences to that commit from all of its parents.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
By default, "git-diff-tree --stdin" shows differences,
|
|
either in machine-readable form (without '-p') or in patch
|
|
form (with '-p'). This output can be supressed. It is
|
|
only useful with '-v' flag.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
This flag causes "git-diff-tree --stdin" to also show
|
|
the commit message before the differences.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Limiting Output
|
|
---------------
|
|
If you're only interested in differences in a subset of files, for
|
|
example some architecture-specific files, you might do:
|
|
|
|
git-diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> arch/ia64 include/asm-ia64
|
|
|
|
and it will only show you what changed in those two directories.
|
|
|
|
Or if you are searching for what changed in just `kernel/sched.c`, just do
|
|
|
|
git-diff-tree -r <tree-ish> <tree-ish> kernel/sched.c
|
|
|
|
and it will ignore all differences to other files.
|
|
|
|
The pattern is always the prefix, and is matched exactly. There are no
|
|
wildcards. Even stricter, it has to match complete path comonent.
|
|
I.e. "foo" does not pick up `foobar.h`. "foo" does match `foo/bar.h`
|
|
so it can be used to name subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
An example of normal usage is:
|
|
|
|
torvalds@ppc970:~/git> git-diff-tree 5319e4......
|
|
*100664->100664 blob ac348b.......->a01513....... git-fsck-cache.c
|
|
|
|
which tells you that the last commit changed just one file (it's from
|
|
this one:
|
|
|
|
commit 3c6f7ca19ad4043e9e72fa94106f352897e651a8
|
|
tree 5319e4d609cdd282069cc4dce33c1db559539b03
|
|
parent b4e628ea30d5ab3606119d2ea5caeab141d38df7

|
|
|
|
Make "git-fsck-cache" print out all the root commits it finds.
|
|
|
|
Once I do the reference tracking, I'll also make it print out all the
|
|
HEAD commits it finds, which is even more interesting.
|
|
|
|
in case you care).
