When we do a combined diff, we individually diff against each parent, and then use intersect_paths to do a parallel walk through the sorted results and come up with a final list of interesting paths.
The sort order here is that returned by the diffs, which means it is in git's tree-order which sorts sub-trees as if their paths have "/" at the end. When we do our parallel walk, we need to use a comparison function which provides the same order. Since 8518ff8 (combine-diff: optimize combine_diff_path sets intersection, 2014-01-20), we use a simple strcmp to compare the pathnames, and get this wrong. It's somewhat hard to trigger because normally a diff does not produce tree entries at all, and therefore the sort order is the same as a strcmp. However, if the "-t" option is used with the diff, then we will produce diff_filepairs for both trees and files. We can use base_name_compare to do the comparison, just as the tree-diff code does. Even though what we have are not technically base names (they are full paths within the tree), the end result is the same (we do not care about interior slashes at all, only about the final character). However, since we do not have the length of each path stored, we take a slight shortcut: if neither of the entries is a sub-tree then the comparison is equivalent to a strcmp. This lets us skip the extra strlen calls in the common case without having to reimplement base_name_compare from scratch. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <p...@peff.net> --- This regression is in v2.0.0 and up. I suspect most people didn't notice because "-t" isn't that common an option (and it only kicks in if you have files like "foo-ext" or "foo.ext" next to a directory "foo"). At GitHub we do a lot of diffs like this to generate the default tree views. You can see more real-world cases by running "git log --merges -c -t --raw" on git.git. The results from v2.0.0 (and the current "master") disagree with those from v1.9.4. With my patch, we match v1.9.4 again. combine-diff.c | 12 +++++++++++- t/t4038-diff-combined.sh | 34 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/combine-diff.c b/combine-diff.c index fd6d63c..6d62973 100644 --- a/combine-diff.c +++ b/combine-diff.c @@ -12,6 +12,16 @@ #include "sha1-array.h" #include "revision.h" +static int compare_paths(const struct combine_diff_path *one, + const struct diff_filespec *two) +{ + if (!S_ISDIR(one->mode) && !S_ISDIR(two->mode)) + return strcmp(one->path, two->path); + + return base_name_compare(one->path, strlen(one->path), one->mode, + two->path, strlen(two->path), two->mode); +} + static struct combine_diff_path *intersect_paths(struct combine_diff_path *curr, int n, int num_parent) { struct diff_queue_struct *q = &diff_queued_diff; @@ -52,7 +62,7 @@ static struct combine_diff_path *intersect_paths(struct combine_diff_path *curr, i = 0; while ((p = *tail) != NULL) { cmp = ((i >= q->nr) - ? -1 : strcmp(p->path, q->queue[i]->two->path)); + ? -1 : compare_paths(p, q->queue[i]->two)); if (cmp < 0) { /* p->path not in q->queue[]; drop it */ diff --git a/t/t4038-diff-combined.sh b/t/t4038-diff-combined.sh index 1019d7b..71a664d 100755 --- a/t/t4038-diff-combined.sh +++ b/t/t4038-diff-combined.sh @@ -401,4 +401,38 @@ test_expect_success 'combine diff missing delete bug' ' compare_diff_patch expected actual ' +test_expect_success 'combine diff gets tree sorting right' ' + # create a directory and a file that sort differently in trees + # versus byte-wise (implied "/" sorts ".") + git checkout -f master && + mkdir foo && + echo base >foo/one && + echo base >foo/two && + echo base >foo.ext && + git add foo foo.ext && + git commit -m base && + + # one side modifies a file in the directory, along with the root + # file... + echo master >foo/one && + echo master >foo.ext && + git commit -a -m master && + + # the other side modifies the other file in the directory + git checkout -b other HEAD^ && + echo other >foo/two && + git commit -a -m other && + + # And now we merge.
