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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
