Russell Belfer 5e5848eb 2013-02-14T17:25:10 Change similarity metric to sampled hashes This moves the similarity metric code out of buf_text and into a new file. Also, this implements a different approach to similarity measurement based on a Rabin-Karp rolling hash where we only keep the top 100 and bottom 100 hashes. In theory, that should be sufficient samples to given a fairly accurate measurement while limiting the amount of data we keep for file signatures no matter how large the file is.
Russell Belfer 9c454b00 2013-01-11T22:13:02 Initial implementation of similarity scoring algo This adds a new `git_buf_text_hashsig` type and functions to generate these hash signatures and compare them to give a similarity score. This can be plugged into diff similarity scoring.
Russell Belfer 0d65acad 2013-01-11T11:24:26 Match binary file check of core git in diff Core git just looks for NUL bytes in files when deciding about is-binary inside diff (although it uses a better algorithm in checkout, when deciding if CRLF conversion should be done). Libgit2 was using the better algorithm in both places, but that is causing some confusion. For now, this makes diff just look for NUL bytes to decide if a file is binary by content in diff.

Russell Belfer 7bf87ab6 2012-11-28T09:58:48 Consolidate text buffer functions There are many scattered functions that look into the contents of buffers to do various text manipulations (such as escaping or unescaping data, calculating text stats, guessing if content is binary, etc). This groups all those functions together into a new file and converts the code to use that. This has two enhancements to existing functionality. The old text stats function is significantly rewritten and the BOM detection code was extended (although largely we can't deal with anything other than a UTF8 BOM).
