I'm going to replace hgimporter with a simpler import function, so we can
access to pure/cext modules by name:
# util.py
base85 = policy.importmod('base85') # select pure.base85 or cext.base85
# cffi/base85.py
from ..pure.base85 import * # may re-export pure.base85 functions
This means we'll have to use policy.importmod() function in place of the
standard import statement, but we wouldn't want to write it every place where
C extension modules are used. So this patch makes util host base85 functions.
This will be used to make it possible to filter diff hunks based on this range
information.
Now unidiff returns a 'hunks' generator that yield tuple (hunkrange,
hunklines) coming from _unidiff() with 'newline at end of file' processing.
Let unidiff return the list of headers it produces (lines '--- <original>' and
'+++ <new>') apart from diff hunks. In patch.diff(), we combine headers
generated there (not specific to unified format) with those from unidiff().
By returning a list of header lines, we do not append new lines in datetag
inner function of unidiff() so that all header lines are '\n'.join-ed in a
similar way.
Now _unidiff yields each hunk lines packed into a tuple with the "range
information" `(s1, l1, s2, l2)` that is used to build the typical hunk header
'@@ -s1,l1 +s2,l2 @@'.
This will be used to make it possible to filter diff hunks based on this range
information.
The new "range information" is ignored in unidiff() (only caller of _unidiff)
for now.
This config knob will control whether or not to show the similarity
calculation in the diff output:
diff --git a/README.md b/foo.md
similarity index 88%
rename from README.md
rename to foo.md
--- a/README.md
+++ b/foo.md
This config knob can take an integer between 0 and 40 or a
keyword ('none', 'short', 'full') to control the length of hash to
output. It will display diffs with the git index header as such,
diff --git a/mercurial/mdiff.py b/mercurial/mdiff.py
index 112edf7..d6b52c5 100644
We'll put this in the experimental section for now.
The function filters diff blocks as generated by mdiff.allblock function based
on whether they are contained in a given line range based on the "b-side" of
blocks.
An empty trivial delta, coded as (0, 0, 0) makes the delta application
do nothing, but still takes 12 bytes, while skipping it altogether works
as much, without taking any space at all.
The home of 'Abort' is 'error' not 'util' however, a lot of code seems to be
confused about that and gives all the credit to 'util' instead of the
hardworking 'error'. In a spirit of equity, we break the cycle of injustice and
give back to 'error' the respect it deserves. And screw that 'util' poser.
For great justice.
This helper will be used initially for censor-aware delta generation. Deltas
which replace the full contents of the base revision are guaranteed to apply
correctly regardless of whether the delta recipient has censored the base.
For background and broader design of the censorship feature, see:
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/CensorPlan
By popular demand, we introduce an option to disable the 'a/' and 'b/'
prefixes in diff output. This makes copying and pasting filenames from diff
output easier.
This option will be implemented and documented in upcoming patches. To ensure
that existing scripts that parse output don't break, we will ensure that this
prefix is disabled in plain mode. A straight 'hg export | hg import' without
HGPLAIN=1 will still be broken though, but there's little that can be done
about that.
In an upcoming patch, we will add index information to all git diffs, not
only binary diffs, so this code needs to be moved to a more appropriate
place.
Also, since this information is used for patch headers, it makes more
sense to be in the patch module, along with other patch-related metadata.
diffline is not part of diff computation, so it makes more sense
to place it with other header generation in patch module.
In upcoming patches we will generalize this approach for
all headers added in the patch, including the git index
header.
diffline was called from trydiff for binary diffs and from unidiff
for text diffs. In this patch we unify those calls into one.
diffline is also a header, not part of diff mechanisms, so it makes
sense to remove that responsibility from the mdiff module. In
upcoming patches we will move diffline to patch module and
keep grouping responsibilities.
b85diff generates a binary diff, so we move this code to mdiff module
along with unidiff for text diffs. All diffing mechanisms will be in the
same place.
In an upcoming patch we will remove the responsibility to print the
index header from b85diff and move it back to patch, since it's
a patch metadata header, not part of the diff generation.
diff ---/+++ should end filenames with a TAB when they contain spaces. Current
code failed to do so when only the +++ file had spaces. This only happened with
git renames from a name without space to one with space.
When diffing the following documents with --ignore-blank-lines (-B):
$ cat > a <<EOF
>
>
>
> b
> x
> d
> EOF
and:
$ cat > b <<EOF
> b
> y
> d
> EOF
the context lines are taken from the first document, even if the lines differ
(with -w or -b) or if the number of lines differ (with -B). In the second case,
we have to adjust the hunk new lines offsets or we end with inconsistent diffs
like (see the @@ offsets):
diff -r 0e66aa54f318 a
--- a/a
+++ b/a
@@ -1,4 +1,3 @@
b
-x
+y
d
Note that having different context lines in a and b means the diff can be
applied but is not invertible.
Reported by Nicholas Riley <com-selenic@sabi.net>
splitblock() was added to handle blocks returned by bdiff.blocks() which differ
only by blank lines but are not made only of blank lines. I do not know exactly
how it could happen but mdiff.blocks() threshold behaviour makes me think it
can if those blocks are made of very popular lines mixed with popular blank
lines. If it is proven to be wrong, the function can be dropped.
The first implementation made annotate share diff configuration entries. But it
looks like users will user -w/b for annotate but not for diff, on both the
command line and hgweb. Since the latter cannot use command line entries, we
introduce a new [annotate] section duplicating the diff whitespace options.
Prior to this patch "hg diff -U0", i.e., zero lines of context, would
output hunk headers with a start line one greater than what GNU patch
and git output. Guido van Rossum documents the unified diff format[1]
as having a start line value "one lower than one would expect" for
zero length hunks.
Comparing the behaviour of the three systems prior to this patch in
transforming
c1
c3
to
c1
c2
c3
- GNU "diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -1,0 +2 @@"
- "git diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -1,0 +2 @@"
- "hg diff -U0" reports the hunk as "@@ -2,0 +2,1 @@"
After this patch, "hg diff -U0" reports "@@ -1,0 +2,1 @@".
Since "hg export --config diff.unified=0" outputs zero-context unified
diffs, "hg import" has also been updated to account for start lines
one less than expected for zero length hunk ranges.
