From 81cf6ccc29002467f44798ada7d74993a44c94b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Montalbo Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 02:21:32 +0000 Subject: line-log: fix crash when combined with pickaxe options queue_diffs() passes the caller's diff_options, which may carry user-specified pickaxe state, to diff_tree_oid() and diffcore_std() when detecting renames for line-level history tracking. When pickaxe options are present on the command line (-G and -S to filter by text pattern, --find-object to filter by object identity), diffcore_std() also runs diffcore_pickaxe(), which may discard diff pairs that are relevant for rename detection. Losing those pairs breaks rename following. Before a2bb801f6a (line-log: avoid unnecessary full tree diffs, 2019-08-21), this silently truncated history at rename boundaries. That commit moved filter_diffs_for_paths() inside the rename- detection block, so it only runs when diff_might_be_rename() returns true. When pickaxe discards a rename pair, the rename goes undetected, and a deletion pair at a subsequent commit passes through uncleaned, reaching process_diff_filepair() with an invalid filespec and triggering an assertion failure. Fix this by building a private diff_options for the rename-detection path inside queue_diffs(), following the same pattern used by blame's find_rename(). This isolates the rename machinery from unrelated user-specified options.
