This test produces a large number of diff formats and compares the
output with test files that have content specific to SHA-1. Since we are
more interested in the format of the diffs, and not their specific
values, which are tested elsewhere, add a function which uses sed to
transform these specific object IDs into generic ones of the right size,
which we can then compare.

diff-parseopt: correct variable types that are used by parseopt
Before d473e2e0e8 (diff.c: convert -U|--unified, 2019-01-27), -U and
--unified are implemented with a custom parser opt_arg() in diff.c. I
didn't check this code carefully and not realize that it's the
equivalent of PARSE_OPT_NONEG | PARSE_OPT_OPTARG.
In other words, if -U is specified without any argument, the option
should be accepted, and the default value should be used. Without
PARSE_OPT_OPTARG, parse_options() will reject this case and cause a
regression.

Currently "--cc --dirstat" will show nothing for a merge. Like
--shortstat and --summary in the previous two patches, it probably makes
sense to treat it like we do --stat, and show a stat against the
first-parent.
This case is less obviously correct than for --shortstat and --summary,
as those are basically variants of --stat themselves. It's possible we
could develop a multi-parent combined dirstat format, in which case we
might regret defining this first-parent behavior. But the same could be
said for --stat, and in the 12+ years of it showing first-parent stats,
nobody has complained.
So showing the first-parent dirstat is at least _useful_, and if we
later develop a clever multi-parent stat format, we'd probably have to
deal with --stat anyway.

Currently "--cc --summary" on a merge shows nothing. Since we show "--cc
--stat" as a stat against the first parent, and because --summary is
typically used in combination with --stat, it makes sense to treat them
both the same way.
Note that we have to tweak t4013's setup a bit to test this case, as the
existing merges do not have any --summary results against their first
parent. But since the merge at the tip of 'master' does add and remove
files with respect to the second parent, we can just make a reversed
doppelganger merge where the parents are swapped.

The --stat of a combined diff is defined as the first-parent stat,
going all the way back to 965f803c32 (combine-diff: show diffstat with

Naturally, we gave --numstat the same treatment in 74e2abe5b7 (diff
--numstat, 2006-10-12).
But --shortstat, which is really just the final line of --stat, does
nothing, which produces confusing results:

Some of the functions in our test library check that they were invoked
properly with conditions like this:
test "$#" = 2 ||
error "bug in the test script: not 2 parameters to test-expect-success"
If this particular condition is triggered, then 'error' will abort the
whole test script with a bold red error message [1] right away.
However, under certain circumstances the test script will be aborted
completely silently, namely if:
- a similar condition in a test helper function like
'test_line_count' is triggered,
- which is invoked from the test script's "main" shell [2],
- and the test script is run manually (i.e. './t1234-foo.sh' as
opposed to 'make t1234-foo.sh' or 'make test') [3]
- and without the '--verbose' option,
because the error message is printed from within 'test_eval_', where
standard output is redirected either to /dev/null or to a log file.
The only indication that something is wrong is that not all tests in
the script are executed and at the end of the test script's output
there is no "# passed all N tests" message, which are subtle and can
easily go unnoticed, as I had to experience myself.
Send these "bug in the test script" error messages directly to the
test scripts standard error and thus to the terminal, so those bugs
will be much harder to overlook. Instead of updating all ~20 such
'error' calls with a redirection, let's add a BUG() function to
'test-lib.sh', wrapping an 'error' call with the proper redirection
and also including the common prefix of those error messages, and
convert all those call sites [4] to use this new BUG() function
instead.
[1] That particular error message from 'test_expect_success' is
printed in color only when running with or without '--verbose';
with '--tee' or '--verbose-log' the error is printed without
color, but it is printed to the terminal nonetheless.
[2] If such a condition is triggered in a subshell of a test, then
'error' won't be able to abort the whole test script, but only the
subshell, which in turn causes the test to fail in the usual way,
indicating loudly and clearly that something is wrong.
[3] Well, 'error' aborts the test script the same way when run
manually or by 'make' or 'prove', but both 'make' and 'prove' pay
attention to the test script's exit status, and even a silently
aborted test script would then trigger those tools' usual
noticable error messages.
[4] Strictly speaking, not all those 'error' calls need that
redirection to send their output to the terminal, see e.g.
'test_expect_success' in the opening example, but I think it's
better to be consistent.

Certain information is currently shown with --summary, but when used
in combination with --stat it's a bit hard to read since info of the
same file is in two places (--stat and --summary).
On top of that, commits that add or remove files double the number of
display lines, which could be a lot if you add or remove a lot of
files.
--compact-summary embeds most of --summary back in --stat in the
little space between the file name part and the graph line, e.g. with
commit 0433d533f1:
Documentation/merge-config.txt | 4 +
builtin/merge.c | 2 +
...-pull-verify-signatures.sh (new +x) | 81 ++++++++++++++
t/t7612-merge-verify-signatures.sh | 45 ++++++++
4 files changed, 132 insertions(+)
It helps both condensing information and saving some text
space. What's new in diffstat is:
- A new 0644 file is shown as (new)
- A new 0755 file is shown as (new +x)
- A new symlink is shown as (new +l)
- A deleted file is shown as (gone)
- A mode change adding executable bit is shown as (mode +x)
- A mode change removing it is shown as (mode -x)
Note that --compact-summary does not contain all the information
--summary provides. Rewrite percentage is not shown but it could be
added later, like R50% or C20%.

Most of the t4013 tests go through a list of sample command lines,
and each of them is executed and its output compared with an
expected one stored in t4013/ directory. Allow these lines to begin
with a colon followed by magic word(s) so that test conditions can
easily be tweaked.
The expected use that will happen in later steps of this is to run
tests expecting the traditional output and run the same test without
the GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS=yes environment exported for (perhaps
some of) them, which will have to expect different output. Since
all of the existing tests are meant to run with the environment,
use the magic word "noellipses" to cause the variable not to be set

There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed,
and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse
--no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff"
calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle
--no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally
abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff:
handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently
introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a
repository.
setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev
or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets
rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It
handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't
touch that.)
Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special
case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than
taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug,
however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or
--no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev
(which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp
--abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until
now.
The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The
other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the
repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

Add an extension to git-diff and git-log (and any other graph-aware

Additionally, we extend the default_diff_output_prefix handler to work
even when no graph is enabled.
This is somewhat of a hack on top of the graph API, but I think it
should be acceptable here.
This will be used by a future extension of submodule display which

Rename detection is a very convenient feature, and new users shouldn't
have to dig in the documentation to benefit from it.
Potential objections to activating rename detection are that it
sometimes fail, and it is sometimes slow. But rename detection is
already activated by default in several cases like "git status" and "git
merge", so activating diff.renames does not fundamentally change the
situation. When the rename detection fails, it now fails consistently
between "git diff" and "git status".
This setting does not affect plumbing commands, hence well-written

Currently, the --dirstat analysis ignores when lines within a file are
rearranged, because the "damage" calculated by show_dirstat() is 0.
However, if the object name has changed, we already know that there is
some damage, and it is unintuitive to claim there is _no_ damage.
Teach show_dirstat() to assign a minimum amount of damage (== 1) to
entries for which the analysis otherwise yields zero damage, to still
represent that these files are changed, instead of saying that there
is no change.
Also, skip --dirstat analysis when the object names are the same (e.g. for

Currently, when using --dirstat-by-file, it first does the full --dirstat
analysis (using diffcore_count_changes()), and then resets 'damage' to 1,
if any damage was found by diffcore_count_changes().
But --dirstat-by-file is not interested in the file damage per se. It only
cares if the file changed at all. In that sense it only cares if the blob
object for a file has changed. We therefore only need to compare the
object names of each file pair in the diff queue and we can skip the
entire --dirstat analysis and simply set 'damage' to 1 for each entry
where the object name has changed.
This makes --dirstat-by-file faster, and also bypasses --dirstat's practice
of ignoring rearranged lines within a file.
The patch also contains an added testcase verifying that --dirstat-by-file
now detects changes that only rearrange lines within a file.

Given that "git show" always shows some diff and does not walk the history
by default, it is natural to expect "git show --first-parent" to show the
difference between the given commit and its first parent. It also would
be natural, given that "--cc" is the default, "git show -m" to show

Traditionally, "show" defaulted to "show --cc" (dense combined patch), but
asking for combined patch with "show -c" didn't turn the patch output
format on; the placement of this logic in setup_revisions() dates back to
cd2bdc5 (Common option parsing for "git log --diff" and friends,
2006-04-14).
This unfortunately cannot be done as a trivial change of "if dense
combined is asked, default to patch format" done in setup_revisions() to
"if any combined is asked, default to patch format", as "diff-tree -c"
needs to default to raw, while "diff-tree --cc" needs to default to patch,
and they share the codepath. These command specific defaults are now
handled in the new "tweak" callback that can be customized by individual

format-patch is most commonly used for multiple patches at once when

the other hand, single patches are not usually expected to be
numbered.
In other words, the typical behavior expected from format-patch is the
one obtained by enabling autonumber, so we set it to be the default.
Users that want to disable numbering for a particular patchset can do
so with the existing -N command-line switch. Users that want to

As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.
