Russell Belfer 67db583d 2013-05-23T15:06:07 More diff rename tests; better split swap handling This adds a couple more tests of different rename scenarios. Also, this fixes a problem with the case where you have two "split" deltas and the left half of one matches the right half of the other. That case was already being handled, but in the wrong order in a way that could result in bad output. Also, if the swap also happened to put the other two halves into the correct place (i.e. two files exchanged places with each other), then the second delta was left with the SPLIT flag set when it really should be cleared.
Russell Belfer c68b09dc 2013-05-23T11:52:34 Fix dereference of freed delta I was accidentally using a value that I had just freed. This moves the clearing of the delta internal flags into a better place.
Russell Belfer a21cbb12 2013-05-22T10:37:12 Significant rename detection rewrite This flips rename detection around so instead of creating a forward mapping from deltas to possible rename targets, instead it creates a reverse mapping, looking at possible targets and trying to find a source that they could have been renamed or copied from. This is important because each output can only have a single source, but a given source could map to multiple outputs (in the form of COPIED records). Additionally, this makes a couple of tweaks to the public rename detection APIs, mostly renaming a couple of options that control the behavior to make more sense and to be more like core Git. I walked through the tests looking at the exact results and updated the expectations based on what I saw. The new code is different from the old because it cannot give some nonsense results (like A was renamed to both B and C) which were part of the outputs previously.
Russell Belfer 9be5be47 2013-05-20T13:37:21 More git_diff_find_similar improvements - Add new GIT_DIFF_FIND_EXACT_MATCH_ONLY flag to do similarity matching without using the similarity metric (i.e. only compare the SHA). - Clean up the similarity measurement code to more rigorously distinguish between files that are not similar and files that are not comparable (previously, a 0 could either mean that the files could not be compared or that they were totally different) - When splitting a MODIFIED file into a DELETE/ADD pair, actually make a DELETED/UNTRACKED pair if the right side of the diff is from the working directory. This prevents an odd mix of ADDED and UNTRACKED files on workdir diffs.
Russell Belfer d958e37a 2013-05-17T17:21:45 Fix issues with git_diff_find_similar There are a number of bugs in the rename code that only were obvious when I started testing it against large old repos with more complex patterns. (The code to do that testing is not ready to merge with libgit2, but I do plan to add more thorough tests.) This contains a significant number of changes and also tweaks the public API slightly to make emulating core git easier. Most notably, this separates the GIT_DIFF_FIND_AND_BREAK_REWRITES flag into FIND_REWRITES (which adds a self-similarity score to every modified file) and BREAK_REWRITES (which splits the modified deltas into add/remove pairs in the diff list). When you do a raw output of core git, rewrites show up as M090 or such, not at A and D output, so I wanted to be able to emulate that. Publicly, this also changes the flags to be uint16_t since we don't need values out of that range. Internally, this contains significant changes from a number of small bug fixes (like using the wrong side of the diff to decide if the object could be found in the ODB vs the workdir) to larger issues about which files can and should be compared and how the various edge cases of similarity scores should be treated. Honestly, I don't think this is the last update that will have to be made to this code, but I think this moves us closer to correct behavior and I tried to document the code so it would be easier to follow..

Russell Belfer 09fae31d 2013-05-15T14:58:26 Improve robustness of diff rename detection Under some strange circumstances, diffs can end up listing files that we can't actually open successfully. Instead of aborting the git_diff_find_similar, this makes it so that those files just won't be considered as valid rename/copy targets instead.

Russell Belfer 0a008913 2013-02-22T10:21:02 Minor improvements to find_similar code This moves a couple of checks outside of the inner loop of the find_similar rename/copy detection phase that are only dependent on the "from" side of a detection. Also, this replaces the inefficient initialization of the options structure when a value is not provided explicitly by the user.
Russell Belfer f8275890 2013-02-22T10:19:50 Replace static data with configured metric Instead of creating three git_diff_similarity_metric statically for the various config options, just create the metric structure on demand and populate it, using the payload to specific the extra flags that should be passed to the hashsig. This removes a level of obfuscation from the code, I think.
Russell Belfer d4b747c1 2013-02-21T16:44:44 Add diff rename tests with partial similarity This adds some new tests that actually exercise the similarity metric between files to detect renames, copies, and split modified files that are too heavily modified. There is still more testing to do - these tests are just partially covering the cases. There is also one bug fix in this where a change set with only MODIFY being broken into ADD/DELETE (due to low self-similarity) without any additional RENAMED entries would end up not processing the split requests (because the num_rewrites counter got reset).
Russell Belfer 960a04dd 2013-02-21T12:40:33 Initial integration of similarity metric to diff This is the initial integration of the similarity metric into the `git_diff_find_similar()` code path. The existing tests all pass, but the new functionality isn't currently well tested. The integration does go through the pluggable metric interface, so it should be possible to drop in an alternative to the internal metric that libgit2 implements. This comes along with a behavior change for an existing interface; namely, passing two NULLs to git_diff_blobs (or passing NULLs to git_diff_blob_to_buffer) will now call the file_cb parameter zero times instead of one time. I know it's strange that that change is paired with this other change, but it emerged from some initialization changes that I ended up making.
Russell Belfer 71a3d27e 2013-02-08T10:06:47 Replace diff delta binary with flags Previously the git_diff_delta recorded if the delta was binary. This replaces that (with no net change in structure size) with a full set of flags. The flag values that were already in use for individual git_diff_file objects are reused for the delta flags, too (along with renaming those flags to make it clear that they are used more generally). This (a) makes things somewhat more consistent (because I was using a -1 value in the "boolean" binary field to indicate unset, whereas now I can just use the flags that are easier to understand), and (b) will make it easier for me to add some additional flags to the delta object in the future, such as marking the results of a copy/rename detection or other deltas that might want a special indicator. While making this change, I officially moved some of the flags that were internal only into the private diff header. This also allowed me to remove a gross hack in rename/copy detect code where I was overwriting the status field with an internal value.
Russell Belfer 9bc8be3d 2013-02-19T10:25:41 Refine pluggable similarity API This plugs in the three basic similarity strategies for handling whitespace via internal use of the pluggable API. In so doing, I realized that the use of git_buf in the hashsig API was not needed and actually just made it harder to use, so I tweaked that API as well. Note that the similarity metric is still not hooked up in the find_similarity code - this is just setting out the function that will be used.
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 db106d01 2012-10-30T09:40:50 Move rename detection into new file This improves the naming for the rename related functionality moving it to be called `git_diff_find_similar()` and renaming all the associated constants, etc. to make more sense. I also moved the new code (plus the existing `git_diff_merge`) into a new file `diff_tform.c` where I can put new functions related to manipulating git diff lists. This also updates the implementation significantly from the last revision fixing some ordering issues (where break-rewrite needs to be handled prior to copy and rename detection) and improving config option handling.
