Junio C Hamano 4ab4a6dfb4 Merge branch 'tr/log-full-diff-keep-true-parents'
Output from "git log --full-diff -- <pathspec>" looked strange,
because comparison was done with the previous ancestor that touched
the specified <pathspec>, causing the patches for paths outside the
pathspec to show more than the single commit has changed.

Tweak "git reflog -p" for the same reason using the same mechanism.

  log: use true parents for diff when walking reflogs

Thomas Rast 53d00b39ce log: use true parents for diff even when rewriting
When using pathspec filtering in combination with diff-based log
output, parent simplification happens before the diff is computed.
The diff is therefore against the *simplified* parents.

This works okay, arguably by accident, in the normal case:
simplification reduces to one parent as long as the commit is TREESAME
to it.  So the simplified parent of any given commit must have the
same tree contents on the filtered paths as its true (unfiltered)
parent.

However, --full-diff breaks this guarantee, and indeed gives pretty
spectacular results when comparing the output of

  git log --graph --stat ...
  git log --graph --full-diff --stat ...

(--graph internally kicks in parent simplification, much like
--parents).

To fix it, store a copy of the parent list before simplification (in a
slab) whenever --full-diff is in effect.  Then use the stored parents
instead of the simplified ones in the commit display code paths.  The
latter do not actually check for --full-diff to avoid duplicated code;
they just grab the original parents if save_parents() has not been
called for this revision walk.

For ordinary commits it should be obvious that this is the right thing
to do.

Merge commits are a bit subtle.  Observe that with default
simplification, merge simplification is an all-or-nothing decision:
either the merge is TREESAME to one parent and disappears, or it is
different from all parents and the parent list remains intact.
Redundant parents are not pruned, so the existing code also shows them
as a merge.

So if we do show a merge commit, the parent list just consists of the
rewrite result on each parent.  Running, e.g., --cc on this in
--full-diff mode is not very useful: if any commits were skipped, some
hunks will disagree with all sides of the merge (with one side,
because commits were skipped; with the others, because they didn't
have those changes in the first place).  This triggers --cc showing
these hunks spuriously.

Therefore I believe that even for merge commits it is better to show
the diffs wrt. the original parents.

2013-06-02 15:56:46 -07:00
Clemens Buchacher 46ec510ac0 fix segfault with git log -c --follow
In diff_tree_combined we make a copy of diffopts. In
try_to_follow_renames, called via diff_tree_sha1, we free and
re-initialize diffopts->pathspec->items. Since we did not make a deep
copy of diffopts in diff_tree_combined, the original diffopts does not
get the update. By the time we return from diff_tree_combined,
rev->diffopt->pathspec->items points to an invalid memory address. We
get a segfault next time we try to access that pathspec.

Instead, along with the copy of diffopts, make a copy pathspec->items as
well.

We would also have to make a copy of pathspec->raw to keep it consistent
with pathspec->items, but nobody seems to rely on that.

Matthijs Kooijman aac385717a combine-diff.c: Fix output when changes are exactly 3 lines apart
When a deletion is followed by exactly 3 (or whatever the number of
context lines) unchanged lines, followed by another change, the combined
diff output would hide the first deletion, resulting in a malformed
diff.

This happened because the 3 lines before each change are painted
interesting, but also marked as no_pre_delete to prevent showing deletes
that were previously marked as uninteresting. This behaviour was
introduced in c86fbe53 (diff -c/--cc: do not include uninteresting
deletion before leading context). However, as a side effect, this could
also mark deletes that were already interesting as no_pre_delete. This
would happen only if the delete was exactly 3 lines away from the next
change, since lines farther away would not be touched by the "paint
three lines before the change" code and lines closer would be painted
by the "merge two adjacent hunks" code instead, which does not set the
no_pre_delete flag.

This commit fixes this problem by only setting the no_pre_delete flag
for changes that were previously uninteresting.

This replaces the greedy implementation to coalesce lost lines by using

Antoine Pelisse fa04ae0be8 Allow combined diff to ignore white-spaces
The combined diff --cc output does not honor options to ignore
whitespace changes (-b, -w, and --ignore-space-at-eol).

Correct this by passing diff flags to diff engine, so that combined
diff behaves as normal diff does with spaces, and by coalescing
lines that are removed from both (or more) parents, honoring the
same rule to ignore whitespace changes.

With this change, a conflict-less merge done using a ignore-*
strategy option will not show any conflict if shown in combined-diff
using the same option.

Jeff King e54501004a diff: do not use null sha1 as a sentinel value
The diff code represents paths using the diff_filespec
struct. This struct has a sha1 to represent the sha1 of the
content at that path, as well as a sha1_valid member which
indicates whether its sha1 field is actually useful. If
sha1_valid is not true, then the filespec represents a
working tree file (e.g., for the no-index case, or for when
the index is not up-to-date).

The diff_filespec is only used internally, though. At the
interfaces to the diff subsystem, callers feed the sha1
directly, and we create a diff_filespec from it. It's at
that point that we look at the sha1 and decide whether it is
valid or not; callers may pass the null sha1 as a sentinel
value to indicate that it is not.

We should not typically see the null sha1 coming from any
other source (e.g., in the index itself, or from a tree).
However, a corrupt tree might have a null sha1, which would
cause "diff --patch" to accidentally diff the working tree
version of a file instead of treating it as a blob.

This patch extends the edges of the diff interface to accept
a "sha1_valid" flag whenever we accept a sha1, and to use
that flag when creating a filespec. In some cases, this
means passing the flag through several layers, making the
code change larger than would be desirable.

One alternative would be to simply die() upon seeing
corrupted trees with null sha1s. However, this fix more
directly addresses the problem (while bogus sha1s in a tree
are probably a bad thing, it is really the sentinel
confusion sending us down the wrong code path that is what
makes it devastating). And it means that git is more capable
of examining and debugging these corrupted trees. For
example, you can still "diff --raw" such a tree to find out
when the bogus entry was introduced; you just cannot do a
"--patch" diff (just as you could not with any other
corrupted tree, as we do not have any content to diff).

Junio C Hamano 25e5e2bf85 combine-diff: support format_callback
This teaches combine-diff machinery to feed a combined merge to a callback
function when DIFF_FORMAT_CALLBACK is specified.

So far, format callback functions are not used for anything but 2-way
diffs. A callback is given a diff_queue_struct, which is an array of
diff_filepair. As its name suggests, a diff_filepair is a _pair_ of
diff_filespec that represents a single preimage and a single postimage.

Since "diff -c" is to compare N parents with a single merge result and
filter out any paths whose result match one (or more) of the parent(s),
its output has to be able to represent N preimages and 1 postimage. For
this reason, a callback function that inspects a diff_filepair that
results from this new infrastructure can and is expected to view the
preimage side (i.e. pair->one) as an array of diff_filespec. Each element
in the array, except for the last one, is marked with "has_more_entries"
bit, so that the same callback function can be used for 2-way diffs and
combined diffs.

Jeff King f1c9626105 diff: refactor COLOR_DIFF from a flag into an int
This lets us store more than just a bit flag for whether we
want color; we can also store whether we want automatic
colors. This can be useful for making the automatic-color
decision closer to the point of use.

This mostly just involves replacing DIFF_OPT_* calls with
manipulations of the flag. The biggest exception is that
calls to DIFF_OPT_TST must check for "o->use_color > 0",
which lets an "unknown" value (i.e., the default) stay at
"no color". In the previous code, a value of "-1" was not
propagated at all.

Junio C Hamano 9969454435 diff -c/--cc: do not mistake "resolved as deletion" as "use working tree"
The combined diff machinery can be used to compare:

 - a merge commit with its parent commits;
 - a working-tree file with multiple stages in an unmerged index; or
 - a working-tree file with the HEAD and the index.

The internal function combine-diff.c:show_patch_diff() checked if it needs
to read the "result" from the working tree by looking at the object name
of the result --- if it is null_sha1, it read from the working tree.

This mistook a merge that records a deletion as the conflict resolution
as if it is a cue to read from the working tree. Pass this information
explicitly from the caller instead.

Noticed and reported by Johan Herland.

This patch converts file contents according to textconv attributes. The

The combined diff code path is totally different from the

range from annoying (since we spewed binary garbage,
possibly upsetting the user's terminal), to wrong (embedded
NULs caused us to show incorrect diffs, with lines truncated
at the NUL character), to potential security problems
(embedded NULs could interfere with "-z" output, possibly
defeating policy hooks which parse diff output).

Instead, we consider a combined diff to be binary if any of
the input blobs is binary. To show a binary combined diff,
we indicate "Binary blobs differ"; the "index" meta line
will show which parents had which blob.

René Scharfe 582aa00bdf git diff too slow for a file
Ever since the xdiff library had been introduced to git, all its callers
have used the flag XDF_NEED_MINIMAL.  It makes sure that the smallest
possible diff is produced, but that takes quite some time if there are
lots of differences that can be expressed in multiple ways.

This flag makes a difference for only 0.1% of the non-merge commits in
the git repo of Linux, both in terms of diff size and execution time.
The patches there are mostly nice and small.

SungHyun Nam however reported a case in a different repo where a diff
took more than 20 times longer to generate with XDF_NEED_MINIMAL than
without.  Rebasing became really slow.

This patch removes this flag from all callers.  The default of xdiff is
saner because it has minimal to no impact in the normal case of small
diffs and doesn't incur that much of a speed penalty for large ones.

A follow-up patch may introduce a command line option to set the flag if
the user needs it, similar to GNU diff's -d/--minimal.

Thomas Rast 2179870803 combined diff: correctly handle truncated file
Consider an evil merge of two commits A and B, both of which have a
file 'foo', but the merge result does not have that file.

The combined-diff code learned in 4462731 (combine-diff: do not punt
on removed or added files., 2006-02-06) to concisely show only the
removal, since that is the evil part and the previous contents are
presumably uninteresting.

However, to diagnose an empty merge result, it overloaded the variable
that holds the file's length.  This means that the check also triggers
for truncated files.  Consequently, such files were not shown in the
diff at all despite the merge being clearly evil.

Fix this by adding a new variable that distinguishes whether the file
was deleted (which is the case 4462731 handled) or truncated.  In the
truncated case, we show the full combined diff again, which is rather
spammy but at least does not hide the evilness.

     three
   - quatro
    -frya
   ++four

While reading the second patch (that removes "two" and then "fyra"), after
finding where removal of the "two" matches, we need to find existing
removal of "fyra" (if exists) in the removal list, but the match has to
happen after all the existing matches (in this case "two").  The code used
a naïve O(n^2) algorithm to compute this by scanning the whole removal
list over and over again.

This patch remembers where the next scan should be started in the existing
removal list to avoid this.

Noticed by Linus Torvalds.

Junio C Hamano a5a818ee48 diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
With a new configuration "diff.mnemonicprefix", "git diff" shows the
differences between various combinations of preimage and postimage trees
with prefixes different from the standard "a/" and "b/".  Hopefully this
will make the distinction stand out for some people.

    "git diff" compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff HEAD" compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
    "git diff --cached" compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
    "git-diff HEAD:file1 file2" compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
    "git diff --no-index a b" compares two non-git things (1) and (2).

Because these mnemonics now have meanings, they are swapped when reverse
diff is in effect and this feature is enabled.

Junio C Hamano 3928097020 diff: Help "less" hide ^M from the output
When the tracked contents have CRLF line endings, colored diff output
shows "^M" at the end of output lines, which is distracting, even though
the pager we use by default ("less") knows to hide them.

The problem is that "less" hides a carriage-return only at the end of the
line, immediately before a line feed.  The colored diff output does not
take this into account, and emits four element sequence for each line:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating line feed;
   - reset color
   - line feed.

By including the carriage return at the end of the line in the second
item, we are breaking the smart our pager has in order not to show "^M".
This can be fixed by changing the sequence to:

   - force this color;
   - the line up to but not including the terminating end-of-line;
   - reset color
   - end-of-line.

where end-of-line is either a single linefeed or a CRLF pair.  When the
output is not colored, "force this color" and "reset color" sequences are
both empty, so we won't have this problem with or without this patch.

xdi_diff_outf() creates its own "xdiff_emit_state" structure and stashes
these two away inside it, which is used by the lowest level output

Pierre Habouzit 663af3422a Full rework of quote_c_style and write_name_quoted.
* quote_c_style works on a strbuf instead of a wild buffer.
* quote_c_style is now clever enough to not add double quotes if not needed.

* write_name_quoted inherits those advantages, but also take a different
  set of arguments. Now instead of asking for quotes or not, you pass a
  "terminator". If it's \0 then we assume you don't want to escape, else C
  escaping is performed. In any case, the terminator is also appended to the
  stream. It also no longer takes the prefix/prefix_len arguments, as it's
  seldomly used, and makes some optimizations harder.

* write_name_quotedpfx is created to work like write_name_quoted and take
  the prefix/prefix_len arguments.

Thanks to those API changes, diff.c has somehow lost weight, thanks to the
removal of functions that were wrappers around the old write_name_quoted
trying to give it a semantics like the new one, but performing a lot of
allocations for this goal. Now we always write directly to the stream, no
intermediate allocation is performed.

As a side effect of the refactor in builtin-apply.c, the length of the bar
graphs in diffstats are not affected anymore by the fact that the path was
clipped.

This enhances the attributes mechanism so that external programs
meant for existing GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF interface can be specifed
per path.

To configure such a custom diff driver, first define a custom

		command = <<your command string comes here>>

Then mark the paths that you want to use this custom driver
using the attribute mechanism.

	*.c	diff=my-c-diff

The intent of this separation is that the attribute mechanism is
used for specifying the type of the contents, while the
configuration mechanism is used to define what needs to be done
to that type of the contents, which would be specific to both
platform and personal taste.

Shawn O. Pearce dc49cd769b Cast 64 bit off_t to 32 bit size_t
Some systems have sizeof(off_t) == 8 while sizeof(size_t) == 4.
This implies that we are able to access and work on files whose
maximum length is around 2^63-1 bytes, but we can only malloc or
mmap somewhat less than 2^32-1 bytes of memory.

On such a system an implicit conversion of off_t to size_t can cause
the size_t to wrap, resulting in unexpected and exciting behavior.
Right now we are working around all gcc warnings generated by the
-Wshorten-64-to-32 option by passing the off_t through xsize_t().

In the future we should make xsize_t on such problematic platforms
detect the wrapping and die if such a file is accessed.

Jim Meyering ee24ee55c2 diff --cc: integer overflow given a 2GB-or-larger file
Few of us use git to compare or even version-control 2GB files,
but when we do, we'll want it to work.

Reading a recent patch, I noticed two lines like this:

   int len = st.st_size;

Instead of "int", that should be "size_t".  Otherwise, in the
non-symlink case, with 64-bit size_t, if the file's size is 2GB,
the following xmalloc will fail:

   result = xmalloc(len + 1);

trying to allocate 2^64 - 2^31 + 1 bytes (assuming sign-extension
in the int-to-size_t promotion).  And even if it didn't fail, the
subsequent "result[len] = 0;" would be equivalent to an unpleasant
"result[-2147483648] = 0;"

The other nearby "int"-declared size variable, sz, should also be of
type size_t, for the same reason.  If sz ever wraps around and becomes
negative, xread will corrupt memory _before_ the "result" buffer.

Junio C Hamano d5f6a01af0 combine-diff: a few more finishing touches.
"new file" and "deleted file" were already reported in the
original code, but the logic was not as transparent as it could
have.  This uses a few variables and more comments to clarify
the flow.  The rule is: (1) if a path exists in the merge result
when no parent had it, we report "new" (otherwise it came from
the parents, as opposed to have added by the evil merge). (2) if
the path does not exist in the merge result, it is "deleted".

Since we can say "new" and "deleted", there is no reason not to
follow the /dev/null convention.  This fixes it.

Appending function name after @@@ ... @@@ is trivial, so
implement it.

Linus Torvalds ee1e5412a7 git diff: support "-U" and "--unified" options properly
We used to parse "-U" and "--unified" as part of the GIT_DIFF_OPTS
environment variable, but strangely enough we would _not_ parse them as
part of the normal diff command line (where we only accepted "-u").

This adds parsing of -U and --unified, both with an optional numeric
argument. So now you can just say

	git diff --unified=5

to get a unified diff with a five-line context, instead of having to do
something silly like

	GIT_DIFF_OPTS="--unified=5" git diff -u

(that silly format does continue to still work, of course).

Junio C Hamano 965f803c32 combine-diff: show diffstat with the first parent.
Asking for stat (either with --stat or --patch-with-stat) gives
you diffstat for the first parent, even under combine-diff.

While the combined patch is useful to highlight the complexity
and interaction of the parts touched by all branches when
reviewing a merge commit, diffstat is a tool to assess the
extent of damage the merge brings in, and showing stat with the
first parent is more sensible than clever per-parent diffstat.

Linus Torvalds eab144ac49 Log message printout cleanups (#2)
Here's a further patch on top of the previous one with cosmetic
improvements (no "real" code changes, just trivial updates):

 - it gets the "---" before a diffstat right, including for the combined
   merge case. Righ now the logic is that we always use "---" when we have
   a diffstat, and an empty line otherwise. That's how I visually prefer
   it, but hey, it can be tweaked later.

 - I made "diff --cc/combined" add the "---/+++" header lines too. The
   thing won't be mistaken for a valid diff, since the "@@" lines have too
   many "@" characters (three or more), but it just makes it visually
   match a real diff, which at least to me makes a big difference in
   readability. Without them, it just looks very "wrong".

   I guess I should have taken the filename from each individual entry
   (and had one "---" file per parent), but I didn't even bother to try to
   see how that works, so this was the simple thing.

With this, doing a

	git log --cc --patch-with-stat

looks quite readable, I think. The only nagging issue - as far as I'm
concerned - is that diffstats for merges are pretty questionable the way
they are done now. I suspect it would be better to just have the _first_
diffstat, and always make the merge diffstat be the one for "result
against first parent".

Ok, this was nastier than expected, just because the dependencies between
the different log-printing stuff were absolutely _everywhere_, but here's
a patch that does exactly that.

The patch is not very easy to read, and the "--patch-with-stat" thing is
still broken (it does not call the "show_log()" thing properly for
merges). That's not a new bug. In the new world order it _should_ do
something like

	if (rev->logopt)
		show_log(rev, rev->logopt, "---\n");

but it doesn't. I haven't looked at the --with-stat logic, so I left it
alone.

That said, this patch removes more lines than it adds, and in particular,
the "cmd_log_wc()" loop is now a very clean:

	while ((commit = get_revision(rev)) != NULL) {
		log_tree_commit(rev, commit);
		free(commit->buffer);
		commit->buffer = NULL;
	}

so it doesn't get much prettier than this. All the complexity is entirely
hidden in log-tree.c, and any code that needs to flush the log literally
just needs to do the "if (rev->logopt) show_log(...)" incantation.

I had to make the combined_diff() logic take a "struct rev_info" instead
of just a "struct diff_options", but that part is pretty clean.

This does change "git whatchanged" from using "diff-tree" as the commit
descriptor to "commit", and I changed one of the tests to reflect that new
reality. Otherwise everything still passes, and my other tests look fine
too.

Linus Torvalds ee63802422 diff-tree -c raw output
NOTE! This makes "-c" be the default, which effectively means that merges 
are never ignored any more, and "-m" is a no-op. So it changes semantics.

I would also like to make "--cc" the default if you do patches, but didn't 
actually do that.

The raw output format is not wonderfully pretty, but it's distinguishable 
from a "normal patch" in that a normal patch with just one parent has just 
one colon at the beginning, while a multi-parent raw diff has <n> colons 
for <n> parents.

So now, in the kernel, when you do

	git-diff-tree cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd

(to see the manual ARM merge that had a conflict in arch/arm/Kconfig), you 
get

	cce0cac125623f9b68f25dd1350f6d616220a8dd
	::100644 100644 100644 4a63a8e2e45247a11c068c6ed66c6e7aba29ddd9 77eee38762d69d3de95ae45dd9278df9b8225e2c 2f61726d2f4b636f6e66696700dbf71a59dad287       arch/arm/Kconfig

ie you see two colons (two parents), then three modes (parent modes 
followed by result mode), then three sha1s (parent sha1s followed by
result sha1).

Which is pretty close to the normal raw diff output.

Cool/stupid exercise:

	$ git-whatchanged | grep '^::' | cut -f2- | sort |
	  uniq -c | sort -n | less -S

will show which files have needed the most file-level merge conflict
resolution. Useful? Probably not. But kind of interesting.

The "index" line shows blob object names from each parents

The hunk header line begins with N+1 '@' characters for N-way
diff, the line number L of the first line in the hunk and line
count C from the parent in "-L,C" format for each parents and
then the line number of the first line in the hunk and line
count from the resulting file in "+L,C" format, and finally

Junio C Hamano 46dc941246 combine-diff: cleanup.
The flag on the surviving lines meant "this parent is not
different" while the parent_map flag on the lost lines meant
"this parent is different", which was confusing.  So swap the
meaning of on-bit in the flag.  Also more heavily comment the
code.

Junio C Hamano 823bcd6edc combine-diff: fix placement of deletion.
The code misplaced a raw hunk that consists of solely deleted
lines by one line.  This showed e.g. Len's 12-way octopus
(9fdb62af in the linux-2.6), kernel/power/disk.c, hunk starting
at line 95, incorrectly.

Junio C Hamano fd4b1d2193 combine-diff: add safety check to --cc.
The earlier change implemented "only two version" check but
without checking if the change rewrites from all the parents.
This implements a check to make sure that a change introduced
by the merge from all the parents is caught to be interesting.

Junio C Hamano bf1c32bdec combine-diff: update --cc "uninteresting hunks" logic.
Earlier logic was discarding hunks that has difference from only
one parent or the same difference from all but one parent.  This
changes it to check if the differences on all lines are from the
same sets of parents.  This discards more uninteresting hunks
and seems to match expectations more naturally.

Junio C Hamano 3c39e9bdeb combine-diff: reuse diff from the same blob.
When dealing with an insanely large Octopus, it is possible to
optimize by noticing that more than one parents have the same
blob and avoid running diff between a parent and the merge
result by reusing an earlier result.

Junio C Hamano ea726d02e9 diff-files: -c and --cc options.
This ports the "combined diff" to diff-files so that differences
to the working tree files since stage 2 and stage 3 are shown
the same way as combined diff output from diff-tree for the
merge commit would be shown if the current working tree files
are committed.

Junio C Hamano 8828cdcb44 diff-tree --cc: squelch header generation on empty patch.
Earlier round showed the commit log header and "diff --combined"
header even for paths that had no interesting hunk under --cc
flag.  Move the header display logic around to squelch them.
With this, a merge that does not have any interesting merges
will not be shown with --cc option, unless -m is used at the
same time.

Junio C Hamano 263eee29e9 combine-diff: extend --cc logic to Octopus.
Santi Bejar points out that a hunk that changes from all the
same common parents except one is uninteresting.  The earlier
round marked changes from only one parent uninteresting, but
this also marks hunks that have the same change from all but one
parent uninteresting, which is a natural extension of the
original idea to Octopus merges.

Remove extra whitespace between the change indicators and the

When showing --cc, say so instead of saying just --combined.

Junio C Hamano af3feefa1d diff-tree -c: show a merge commit a bit more sensibly.
A new option '-c' to diff-tree changes the way a merge commit is
displayed when generating a patch output.  It shows a "combined
diff" (hence the option letter 'c'), which looks like this:

    $ git-diff-tree --pretty -c -p fec9ebf1 | head -n 18
    diff-tree fec9ebf... (from parents)
    Merge: 0620db3... 8a263ae...

       {
     +      unsigned char sha1[20];
     +      struct commit *cmit;

There are a few things to note about this feature:

 - The '-c' option implies '-p'.  It also implies '-m' halfway
   in the sense that "interesting" merges are shown, but not all
   merges.

 - When a blob matches one of the parents, we do not show a diff
   for that path at all.  For a merge commit, this option shows
   paths with real file-level merge (aka "interesting things").

 - As a concequence of the above, an "uninteresting" merge is
   not shown at all.  You can use '-m' in addition to '-c' to
   show the commit log for such a merge, but there will be no
   combined diff output.

 - Unlike "gitk", the output is monochrome.

A '-' character in the nth column means the line is from the nth
parent and does not appear in the merge result (i.e. removed
from that parent's version).

A '+' character in the nth column means the line appears in the
merge result, and the nth parent does not have that line
(i.e. added by the merge itself or inherited from another
parent).

The above example output shows that the function signature was
changed from either parents (hence two "-" lines and a "++"
line), and "unsigned char sha1[20]", prefixed by a " +", was
inherited from the first parent.

The code as sent to the list was buggy in few corner cases,
which I have fixed since then.

It does not bother to keep track of and show the line numbers
from parent commits, which it probably should.
