builtin/diff-tree: learn --merge-base

2020-09-21T20:37:03Z

The previous commit introduced ---merge-base a way to take the diff between the working tree or index and the merge base between an arbitrary commit and HEAD. It makes sense to extend this option to support the case where two commits are given too and behave in a manner identical to `git diff A...B`. Introduce the --merge-base flag as an alternative to triple-dot notation. Thus, we would be able to write the above as `git diff --merge-base A B`.

Documentation/git-diff-tree.txt: fix formatting

2019-04-01T06:17:47Z

Asciidoctor versions v1.5.7 or later print the following warning while building the documentation: ASCIIDOC git-diff-tree.xml asciidoctor: WARNING: diff-format.txt: line 2: unterminated listing block This highlights an issue (even with older Asciidoctor versions) where the "Raw output format" header is not rendered as a header, and the rest of the document is rendered in monospace. This is not caused by 'diff-format.txt' in itself, but rather by 'git-diff-tree.txt' including 'pretty-formats.txt' and 'diff-format.txt' on subsequent lines, while the former happens to end with monospace-formatted example commands. Fix this by inserting an empty line between the two include:: directives. The page rendered with AsciiDoc doesn't have this formatting issue.

Merge branch 'en/combined-all-paths'

2019-03-07T00:59:54Z

Output from "diff --cc" did not show the original paths when the merge involved renames. A new option adds the paths in the original trees to the output. * en/combined-all-paths: log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option

log,diff-tree: add --combined-all-paths option

2019-02-08T04:15:25Z

The combined diff format for merges will only list one filename, even if rename or copy detection is active. For example, with raw format one might see: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM describe.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR phooey.c This doesn't let us know what the original name of bar.sh was in the first parent, and doesn't let us know what either of the original names of phooey.c were in either of the parents. In contrast, for non-merge commits, raw format does provide original filenames (and a rename score to boot). In order to also provide original filenames for merge commits, add a --combined-all-paths option (which must be used with either -c or --cc, and is likely only useful with rename or copy detection active) so that we can print tab-separated filenames when renames are involved. This transforms the above output to: ::100644 100644 100644 fabadb8 cc95eb0 4866510 MM desc.c desc.c desc.c ::100755 100755 100755 52b7a2d 6d1ac04 d2ac7d7 RM foo.sh bar.sh bar.sh ::100644 100644 100644 e07d6c5 9042e82 ee91881 RR fooey.c fuey.c phooey.c Further, in patch format, this changes the from/to headers so that instead of just having one "from" header, we get one for each parent. For example, instead of having --- a/phooey.c +++ b/phooey.c we would see --- a/fooey.c --- a/fuey.c +++ b/phooey.c Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

diff-tree doc: correct & remove wrong documentation

2019-02-04T20:39:13Z

The documentation saying that diff-tree didn't support anything except literal prefixes hasn't been true since d38f28093e ("tree_entry_interesting(): support wildcard matching", 2010-12-15), but this documentation was not updated at the time. Since this command uses pathspecs like most other commands, there's no need to show examples of how the various "cmd " invocations work. Furthermore, the "git diff-tree --abbrev 5319e4" example shown here never worked. We'd ended up with that through a combination of 62b42d3487 ("docs: fix some antique example output", 2011-05-26) and ac4e086929 ("Adjust core-git documentation to more recent Linus GIT.", 2005-05-05), but "git diff-tree " was always invalid.

doc: keep first level section header in upper case

2018-05-02T08:03:33Z

When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

doc: typeset long command-line options as literal

2016-06-28T15:36:45Z

Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of forward-quotes, for long options. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to describe rewritten history).

doc: typeset short command-line options as literal

2016-06-28T15:20:52Z

It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to Documentation/CodingGuidelines. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
