In the non-merge case, we duplicate them using add_entry() and later
only look at the first allocated element (src[0]), perhaps even only
by mistake.  Split out the actual addition from add_entry() into the
new helper do_add_entry() and call this non-duplicating function
instead of add_entry() to avoid the leak.

Valgrind reports this for the command "git archive v1.7.9" without
the patch:

Jeff King [Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:52:24 +0000 (18:52 -0400)] 
merge-recursive: don't detect renames of empty files

Merge-recursive detects renames so that if one side modifies
"foo" and the other side moves it to "bar", the modification
is applied to "bar". However, our rename detection is based
on content analysis, it can be wrong (i.e., two files were
not intended as a rename, but just happen to have the same
or similar content).

This is quite rare if the files actually contain content,
since two unrelated files are unlikely to have exactly the
same content.  However, empty files present a problem, in
that there is nothing to analyze. An uninteresting
placeholder file with zero bytes may or may not be related
to a placeholder file with another name.

The result is that adding content to an empty file may cause
confusion if the other side of a merge removed it; your
content may end up in another random placeholder file that
was added.

Let's err on the side of caution and not consider empty
files as renames. This will cause a modify/delete conflict
on the merge, which will let the user sort it out
themselves.

12 years agoteach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content
Jeff King [Thu, 22 Mar 2012 22:52:13 +0000 (18:52 -0400)] 
teach diffcore-rename to optionally ignore empty content

Our rename detection is a heuristic, matching pairs of
removed and added files with similar or identical content.
It's unlikely to be wrong when there is actual content to
compare, and we already take care not to do inexact rename
detection when there is not enough content to produce good
results.

However, we always do exact rename detection, even when the
blob is tiny or empty. It's easy to get false positives with
an empty blob, simply because it is an obvious content to
use as a boilerplate (e.g., when telling git that an empty
directory is worth tracking via an empty .gitignore).

This patch lets callers specify whether or not they are
interested in using empty files as rename sources and
destinations. The default is "yes", keeping the original
behavior. It works by detecting the empty-blob sha1 for
rename sources and destinations.

One more flexible alternative would be to allow the caller
to specify a minimum size for a blob to be "interesting" for
rename detection. But that would catch small boilerplate
files, not large ones (e.g., if you had the GPL COPYING file
in many directories).

A better alternative would be to allow a "-rename"
gitattribute to allow boilerplate files to be marked as
such. I'll leave the complexity of that solution until such
time as somebody actually wants it. The complaints we've
seen so far revolve around empty files, so let's start with
the simple thing.

gitk: Add menu items for comparing a commit with the marked commit

Sometimes one wants to see the different between two commits that are
a long distance apart in the graph display.  This is difficult to do
with the "Diff this -> selected" and "Diff selected -> this" menu
items because the need to maintain the selection means that one can't
use the find facilities or the reference list window to navigate from
one to the other.

This provides an alternative using the mark.  Having found one commit,
one marks it with the "Mark this commit" menu item, then navigates to
the other commit and uses the new "Diff this -> marked commit" and/or
"Diff marked commit -> this" menu items.

gitk: Use symbolic font names "sans" and "monospace" when available

The following only concerns systems using X and the client-side font
rendering framework from freedesktop.org.  Windows and Mac OS X are
not affected.

Starting with version 8.5, Tk uses freetype and fontconfig by default
to render fonts on platforms that support it.  Gitk currently defaults
to the font Helvetica for the interface and Courier for diffs, and
both unfortunately look rather bad on screen in the default
configuration on many Linux distros with anti-aliasing and poor
hinting.

It is better to default to "sans" and "monospace", which are mapped by
fontconfig to some appropriate font of the sysadmin and user's
choosing (typically Bitstream Vera Sans and Mono).  The result looks
more sensible and it makes gitk feel like a well-behaved software
citizen since its fonts match other native apps.

This patch does not change the appearance of gitk for users that have
already run it, since gitk uses the remembered UI and diff font names
from ~/.gitk.

describe" output.

I prefer the readability of the full "git describe" output, yet want
to retain the gitk links, so this renders as clickable not just

"-g".
