These patch series implement new set of options governing the diff output
of merge commits, all under the umbrella of the single --diff-merges=<mode>
option. Most of the new options being synonyms for -m/-c/--cc options,
there is also additional functionality provided, allowing to get the format
of "-p --first-parent" without change in history traversal that
--first-parent option causes.

The net result of these series are the following new options:

--diff-merges=	 |  old equivalent
-----------------+----------------
first-parent     | --first-parent (only format implications)
separate         | -m
combined         | -c
dense-combined   | --cc

The series also cleanup logic of handling of diff merges options and fix an
issue found in the original implementation where logically mutually
exclusive options -m/-c/--cc failed to actually override each other.

The series start with the set of pure refactoring commits that are expected
to introduce no functional changes. These are all commits up to and
including:

"diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handling"

The aim of these commits is to isolate options handling for diff merges so
that it could be easily understood and tweaked to ease introduction of the
new options.

Then the fix of -m/-c/-cc overriding issue follows, starting with a failing
test and followed by the fix.

Then follows a little bit of additional refactoring in order to prepare for
introduction of the new options, and finally the series are finished by the
implementation, testing, and documentation update for the new options.

Sergey Organov (26):
  revision: factor out parsing of diff-merge related options
  revision: factor out setup of diff-merge related settings
  revision: factor out initialization of diff-merge related settings
  revision: provide implementation for diff merges tweaks
  revision: move diff merges functions to its own diff-merges.c
  diff-merges: rename all functions to have common prefix
  diff-merges: move checks for first_parent_only out of the module
  diff-merges: rename diff_merges_default_to_enable() to match semantics
  diff-merges: re-arrange functions to match the order they are called
    in
  diff-merges: new function diff_merges_suppress()
  diff-merges: new function diff_merges_set_dense_combined_if_unset()
  diff-merges: introduce revs->first_parent_merges flag
  diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handling
  t4013: support test_expect_failure through ':failure' magic
  t4013: add tests for -m failing to override -c/--cc
  diff-merges: fix -m to properly override -c/--cc
  diff-merges: split 'ignore_merges' field
  diff-merges: group diff-merge flags next to each other inside
    'rev_info'
  diff-merges: get rid of now empty diff_merges_init_revs()
  diff-merges: refactor opt settings into separate functions
  diff-merges: make -m/-c/--cc explicitly mutually exclusive
  diff-merges: implement new values for --diff-merges
  t4013: add test for --diff-merges=first-parent
  doc/git-log: describe new --diff-merges options
  doc/diff-generate-patch: mention new --diff-merges option
  doc/rev-list-options: document --first-parent implies
    --diff-merges=first-parent

Use these implementations from show_setup_revisions_tweak() and
log_setup_revisions_tweak() in builtin/log.c.

This completes moving of management of diff merges parameters to a
single place, where we can finally observe them simultaneously.

Use the same "diff_merges" prefix for all the diff merges function
names.

The checks for first_parent_only don't in fact belong to this module,
as the primary purpose of this flag is history traversal limiting, so
get it out of this module and rename the

diff_merges_first_parent_defaults_to_enable()

to

diff_merges_default_to_enable()

to match new semantics.

For clarity, define public functions in the order they are called, to
make logic inter-dependencies easier to grok.

This function sets all the relevant flags to disabled state, so that
no code that checks only one of them get it wrong.

Then we call this new function everywhere where diff merges output
suppression is needed.

checking/tweaking of diff merges related fields.

This new field allows us to separate format of diff for merges from
'first_parent_only' flag which primary purpose is limiting history
traversal.

This change further localizes diff format selection logic into the
diff-merges.c file.

Do not set revs->diff when we encounter an option that needs it, as
it'd be impossible to undo later. Besides, some other options than
what we handle here set this flag as well, and we'd interfere with
them trying to clear this flag later.

Rather set revs->diff, if finally needed, in diff_merges_setup_revs().

As an additional bonus, this also makes our code shorter.

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Add 2 expected to fail tests that demonstrate the problem.

merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Fix -m to properly override -c/--cc, and change the tests accordingly.

'ignore_meres' was 3-way field that served two distinct purposes that
we now assign to 2 new independent flags: 'separate_merges', and
'explicit_diff_merges'.

'separate_merges' tells that we need to output diff format containing
separate diff for every parent (as opposed to 'combine_merges').

'explicit_diff_merges' tells that at least one of diff-merges options
has been explicitly specified on the command line, so no defaults
should apply.

The relevant flags were somewhat scattered over definition of 'struct
rev_info'. Rearrange them to group them together.

After getting rid of 'ignore_meres' field, the diff_merges_init_revs()
function became empty. Get rid of it.

To prepare introduction of new options some of which will be synonyms
to existing options, let every option handling code just call
corresponding function.

-c/--cc got precedence over -m only because of external logic where
corresponding flags are checked before that for -m. This is too
error-prone, so add code that explicitly makes these 3 options
mutually exclusive, so that the last option specified on the
command-line gets precedence.

first|first-parent    = --first-parent (only format implications)

This new option provides essential new functionality, changing diff
output to first parent only without changing history traversal mode,
so it deserves its own test.

Mention --diff-merges instead of -m in a note to merge formats to aid
discoverability, as -m is now described among --diff-merges options
anyway.

Before introduction of new --diff-merges options, --first-parent
implicitly changed the default diff format for merge commits to
showing only the diff with respect to the first parent, and there were
no way to get such format from "git log" without affecting history
traversal logic that --first-parent causes.

Now, after introduction of the --diff-merges=first-parent, the
--first-parent simply implies the former, and this patch corrects
documentation accordingly.

These patch series implement new set of options governing the diff output
of merge commits, all under the umbrella of the single --diff-merges=<mode>
option. Most of the new options being synonyms for -m/-c/--cc options,
there is also additional functionality provided, allowing to get the format
of "-p --first-parent" without change in history traversal that
--first-parent option causes.

The net result of these series are the following new options:

--diff-merges=	 |  old equivalent
-----------------+----------------
first-parent     | --first-parent (only format implications)
separate         | -m
combined         | -c
dense-combined   | --cc

The series also cleanup logic of handling of diff merges options and fix an
issue found in the original implementation where logically mutually
exclusive options -m/-c/--cc failed to actually override each other.

The series start with the set of pure refactoring commits that are expected
to introduce no functional changes. These are all commits up to and
including:

"diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handling"

The aim of these commits is to isolate options handling for diff merges so
that it could be easily understood and tweaked to ease introduction of the
new options.

Then the fix of -m/-c/-cc overriding issue follows, starting with a failing
test and followed by the fix.

Then follows a little bit of additional refactoring in order to prepare for
introduction of the new options, and finally the series are finished by the
implementation, testing, and documentation update for the new options.

Updates in v1:

	* Added documentation fix for git-show to include --diff-merges.
	* Fixed typos in commit messages noticed by Philip Oakley.

Use these implementations from show_setup_revisions_tweak() and
log_setup_revisions_tweak() in builtin/log.c.

This completes moving of management of diff merges parameters to a
single place, where we can finally observe them simultaneously.

The checks for first_parent_only don't in fact belong to this module,
as the primary purpose of this flag is history traversal limiting, so
get it out of this module and rename the

diff_merges_first_parent_defaults_to_enable()

to

diff_merges_default_to_enable()

to match new semantics.

For clarity, define public functions in the order they are called, to
make logic inter-dependencies easier to grok.

This function sets all the relevant flags to disabled state, so that
no code that checks only one of them get it wrong.

Then we call this new function everywhere where diff merges output
suppression is needed.

This new field allows us to separate format of diff for merges from
'first_parent_only' flag which primary purpose is limiting history
traversal.

This change further localizes diff format selection logic into the
diff-merges.c file.

Do not set revs->diff when we encounter an option that needs it, as
it'd be impossible to undo later. Besides, some other options than
what we handle here set this flag as well, and we'd interfere with
them trying to clear this flag later.

Rather set revs->diff, if finally needed, in diff_merges_setup_revs().

As an additional bonus, this also makes our code shorter.

Add support to be able to specify expected failure, through :failure
magic, like this:

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Add 2 expected to fail tests that demonstrate the problem.

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Fix -m to properly override -c/--cc, and change the tests accordingly.

'ignore_merges' was 3-way field that served two distinct purposes that
we now assign to 2 new independent flags: 'separate_merges', and
'explicit_diff_merges'.

'separate_merges' tells that we need to output diff format containing
separate diff for every parent (as opposed to 'combine_merges').

'explicit_diff_merges' tells that at least one of diff-merges options
has been explicitly specified on the command line, so no defaults
should apply.

The relevant flags were somewhat scattered over definition of 'struct
rev_info'. Rearrange them to group them together.

After getting rid of 'ignore_merges' field, the diff_merges_init_revs()
function became empty. Get rid of it.

To prepare introduction of new options some of which will be synonyms
to existing options, let every option handling code just call
corresponding function.

-c/--cc got precedence over -m only because of external logic where
corresponding flags are checked before that for -m. This is too
error-prone, so add code that explicitly makes these 3 options
mutually exclusive, so that the last option specified on the
command-line gets precedence.

This new option provides essential new functionality, changing diff
output to first parent only without changing history traversal mode,
so it deserves its own test.

Mention --diff-merges instead of -m in a note to merge formats to aid
discoverability, as -m is now described among --diff-merges options
anyway.

Before introduction of new --diff-merges options, --first-parent
implicitly changed the default diff format for merge commits to
showing only the diff with respect to the first parent, and there were
no way to get such format from "git log" without affecting history
traversal logic that --first-parent causes.

Now, after introduction of the --diff-merges=first-parent, the
--first-parent simply implies the former, and this patch corrects
documentation accordingly.

Move description of --diff-merges option from git-log.txt to
diff-options.txt so that it is included in the git-show help.

While we are at it, make git-show closer to git-log in this area by
providing similar wording in the introduction of diff options.

The reordering of if/else if/ cascade from the original, which
serves no apparent purpose, makes reviewing a tad harder than
necessary, but the conversion at this point seems wrong.

The original allowed parse_long_opt() to potentially return 2
(i.e. "diff-merges" and "off" appear as separate tokens on the
command line), but the return value stored in argcount here is
discarded, without affecting the return value from this function,
which is fed back to the original in handle_revision_opt() below.

To correct the above bug, it probably is sufficient to add

here.  That will be fed back to ...

... this part and cause the number of options and arguments consumed
to the caller of handle_revision_opt().

I wonder if we can cover it with a test to prevent a similar mistake
in the future?

It is not wrong per-se, but I do not see why we do not define the
function here, not just forward-declare it like so.

Style.  A brace that begins a function body begins its own line.  In
any case, I'd move this new definition before its sole caller; that
way we do not even need an extra forward-declaration.

The name makes sense.  "Unless otherwise specified, we do not ignore
merges.  Further, when we are not doing first-parent traversal,
default to dense combined merges, unless told otherwise" is what the
code says, and the name of the helper captures it well.

This on the other hand is not so great a name.  "When we are doing
first-parent traversal, do not exclude merge commits from being
shown" is what log_setup_revisions_tweak() does here.  "default to
enable" is not clear at all what we are enabling.

Is your naming convention that "rev_diff_" is the common prefix?
What's the significance of "_diff" part?  After all, these are about
tweaking the setting in the rev_info structure, so how about

	revinfo_show_merges_in_dense_combined_by_default(rev);
	revinfo_show_merges_by_default_with_first_parent(rev);

perhaps, using just "revinfo_" as the common prefix?

Even with a different prefix, this name does not make it clear what
is going on to its readers.  The other name is OK, though.

Describe what "diff-merges" module is about in a comment here.

This matters because in 07/27 the log message complains that the
first-parent traversal option is checked in the module but it is out
of place.  Without defining what the "module" is about, the readers
would have a hard time agreeing with the justification.

My guess is that this is about deciding how a merge commit is shown
in 'log -p' and 'show' output, comparing the commit with its
parent(s) in patch output.  With that explained, it may make sense
for 07/27 to complain that --first-parent that is primarily a
traversal option does also affect how a merge is shown (I do not
necessarily agree with the complaint, though)

Again, neither is a great name.

More importantly, I do not think that I agree with the reasoning
given in the first paragraph.  The first-parent-only traversal means
that we pretend there is no second and later parents, so it makes
quite a lot of sense that the choice of that option affects how a
merge commit discovered during the traversal is show by default
(namely, as if it is just a single-parent commit).

If there are other reasons why we want to force the callers to check
for first-parent option (for example, it may make it easier to tweak
how each caller makes its decisions separately in later steps of
this series), the changes proposed by this step may be a right
solution, so I am not outright opposed to this patch, but the
rationale given above is not a strong enough justification for the
change, at least to me.

Perhaps "show_merges_by_default()".

Perhaps "show_merges_in_cc_by_default()" (or "cc" spelled out as
"dense_combined").

Actually, I'd like to take these suggestions back.  I do not think
these names that describe "what the function does" are good names at
all.  If we can name them after what they are for, we'd be much
better off.

Given that one is part of the tweak for "show" and the other part of
"log", I presume that one is to set-up default for showing a merge
in the context of the "show" command, and the other is the same for
the "log" (actually "log -p") command.  So perhaps

	diff_merges_set_default_for_show(revs);
	diff_merges_set_default_for_log(revs);

are good names that tells us where they should be used and what for.
The former is to set up the default parameters to handle a merge
commit in the context of the "show" command, and the latter is the
same for the "log" command.  Naming them that way, we can then tweak
what should happen for "show" by default without touching the caller
if we wanted to (perhaps, "when doing first-parent traversal, really
pretend that all the commits we see are single-parent, so show the
change relative to its first parent by default without even
requiring -m" might be something the latter can learn later).

Thanks.

You added diff-merges.[ch] earlier in this series.  Why not just add
them in the correct order initially instead of adding another patch
later in the series?

The function name is not so helpful; why not put all this code
directly in diff_merges_suppress()?

This seems inconsistent with c7eaf8b4c3 ("log: when --cc is given,
default to -p unless told otherwise", 2015-08-20); shouldn't these
imply -p?

Not sure that "exactly like regular commits" is helpful here; I'd
personally rather cut those four words out.  I'm worried it'll be
taken not as an implementation explanation, but as a "this treats
merge commits in the natural way that regular commits are" which users
may mistakenly translate to "it shows what changes the user manually
made as part of the commit" which is not at all the correct mapping.

Interesting.  I have some local patches implementing another choice,
with the new flag --remerge-diff.  This flag will cause `git show` or
`git log` to automatically remerge the two parents in a 2-parent merge
commit, and then diff the merge commit against that automatic merge,
showing the result.  Thus, the diff for a merge commit is likely to be
empty if the merge was clean, and is likely to show the removal of
conflict markers if the merge was not clean.

I'm curious how it'd interact with this new option.  Would it also get
a name, e.g. --diff-merges=remerge-diff?  Feels like a mouthful, but I
can't come up with anything better.

Also, I'm curious how it'd interact with another option I added, named
--remerge-diff-only.  This latter option modifies revision traversal
in that it skips octopus merges, root commits, and single parent
commits IF no cherry-pick or revert information can be found.  If it
finds a 2-parent merge commit, it behaves like --remerge-diff.  If it
finds a 1-parent commit with cherry-pick or revert information, it'll
do an in memory repeat of that cherry-pick (or revert) and then diff
the actual commit against what the automatic cherry-pick would
perform.  Again, that likely means an empty diff if the automatic
cherry-pick was clean, and showing any changes made by the user to
complete the original cherry-pick (such as deleting conflict markers
and picking which chunks from which side to keep) if the automatic
cherry-pick was not clean.  (I suspect --remerge-diff-only is much
more likely to be used with `git show` than with `git log`.)  Anyway,
your changes seem to suggest that anything relating to how diffs for
merges are handled should be documented in the same section, but
--remerge-diff-only doesn't fit.  And it'd seem odd to have
--remerge-diff and --remerge-diff-only not show up in adjacently but
be split into separate sections.  Any ideas?

(This doesn't matter yet, since I'm waiting for merge-ort to be
completed before submitting the --remerge-diff and --remerge-diff-only
patches, but thought I'd bring it up as food for thought and to query
if others have good ideas about how to handle the names and
documentation location.)

Sorry for the reordering, I didn't notice it when I cleared up the

Right, but not enough. "argcount" should also be set to 1 at the
beginning of the function, to avoid returning uninitialized value here.

Fixed for the next series.

I wanted to keep merge-diff functions definitions at one place to
simplify future refactoring by moving all of them into separate file, to
avoid scatter-gathering definitions from multiple places in the
original file.

Oops! There are a few cases in the git sources where this style is used,
and somehow my eye catch it and I did entire series in this style.

Now the question is: what do I do about it? Do I need to rework the
entire series in the correct style, or would it be enough to fix the
style as a separate commit at the end of the series?

I'd do it too, except in this particular case, first, it actually makes
some sense to have function definition here, see above, and second, it'd
disappear along with declaration in the next commit anyway. I'm OK to
change this though if you still find this issue essential.

Well, I did consider it, but there are 2 issues that stopped me.

First, I didn't want to rearrange functions as I move them from
revision.c, to avoid mixed commit to simplify review, and second, I
didn't want to rearrange them in the original to perform as little
changes to the codebase as possible before isolating my work
into diff-merges.[ch].

Hope it makes sense.

Sorry, here I disagree, see below.

I have multiple objections to this:

1. diff-merges, as a module or unit, is designed to provide needed
services to callers, not to dictate where exactly these services are
to be used.

2. diff-merges, as a module, should not care nor know if "git log" or
"git show" (or whatever top-level command), exists at all, so the
suggested names are not a good idea to have in the module.

3. The decision how exactly merge commits are to be shown for given user
command should better be expressed in that command, not hidden in the
implementation of diff-merges module.

4. Giving functions names by their place of call won't allow to sensibly
reuse them in other places, if needed, without renaming.

Overall, I believe the functions in the diff-merges unit must be called
after what they are doing to the format of the diff output for merges,
not after the places they are (currently) called at.

The functions you suggest, on the other hand, are fine and may have
their place, but they are at higher level of abstraction and should not
be part of the low-level diff-merges module.

The is no complaint that --first-parent affects how merge is shown, at
least I didn't ever mean to complain about it.

From me there is a complaint that there is no way (before this series)
to make merge to be shown in the same manner without affecting
traversal, but that's not the problem of --first-parent user-visible
behavior.

I believe that in general, it'd be best that if an option makes more
than 1 thing, it does them by simply implying other options, so that
user is able to fine-tune each aspect of behavior independently.

For example, the design of --first-parent could have been that it simply
implies --follow-first-parent and --diff-merges=first-parent, each of
which do exactly one thing: the first defines how graph traversal is
performed, and the second defines how merge commits are shown.

OTOH, the resulting design of --first-parent after this series is an
example of another approach, also acceptable, where an option performs
its 1 primary action directly, and the rest -- by implying other
options. This design also covers all the possibilities, provided each
implicit option could be overridden.

Thanks,
Sergey Organov

So, now diff-options says that no diffs are the defaults for merge commits...

This is not right, `git show` generates diff output by default for
both normal commits and merge commits -- it defaults to -p --cc (see
show_setup_revisions_tweak() of builtin/log.c).  Also see earlier in
git-show.txt where it says

       For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also presents
       the merge commit in a special format as produced by git diff-tree --cc.

>  :git-log: 1
>  include::diff-options.txt[]

...and the included text will contain the repeated claim that no diffs
are shown by default for merge commits, which is true for `git log`
but not `git show`.

The prefixes here were selected just to have some to aid in refactoring,
without much thought. As all the prefixes change pretty soon in the
series anyway, can we let these be?

Looks like it is indeed, and worse yet, the patch series don't handle
this optimally due to my ignorance of this behavior. I think I need to
make changes to imply -p whenever some of diff-merge options (except
--diff-merges=none) are explicitly given, cause it's now, after these
patches, is unclear why only combined diffs imply -p, and not, say,
--diff-merges=first-parent.

Nice catch, thanks!

BTW, in the original, why only "git log" is affected? Ah, probably
because "git show" has -p by default?

While we are at it, why do we have "git show" at all? How is it
essentially different from "git log -n1 --first-parent ..."? I mean,
shouldn't it effectively be just an alias?

Dunno. Don't have strict preference here. Git has no idea how the
changes in a commit have been made in the first place. Changes are just
changes.

To my excuse, I took this from git:5fbb4bc191 that has:

+Note that unless one of `-c`, `--cc`, or `-m` is given, merge commits
+will never show a diff, even if a diff format like `--patch` is

Sounds like commits limiting option to me. I think it could be named by
its limiting behavior only, say, --remerges. Then it will imply
--diff-merges=remerge, that'd allow user to re-define diff format if she
needs to.

I mean, it looks very similar to --first-parent to me in the ways it
could be defined/implemented. Recall that --first-parent now implies
--diff-merges=first-parent.

Well, I did consider it when prepared v1, but given:

  git format-patch --reroll-count=0

produces [PATCH], it only sounds natural to follow with

  git format-patch --reroll-count=1

that produces [PATCH v1].

Yes, I need to re-consider this, as I already admitted in my reply to
your previous catch of the related problem in the documentation.

They all came from single point of misunderstanding.

Will try to get it right in the next re-roll.

Do you have better suggestion? suppress_output()? supress_diff()?

I prefer the style where module implementation functions don't call its
interface functions, only vice versa.

Yes, it does, but it doesn't mean it will be that way forever. Interface
function might need to perform additional checks or actions, in general.

Besides, if diff_merges_suppress() is OK with you as interface function
name, why suppress() is not OK as local function name in diff-merges
module?

git show does not just operate on commits.  It can also display blobs,
trees, or tags.  I see people use it with blobs in the form of
REVISION:FILENAME references.  git show also is not limited to
displaying just one object, hence -n1 would be problematic; you'd need
to use --no-walk instead when operating on commits.  Also, git show
uses --cc when operating on commits, not --first-parent.

However, you are right that it is pretty close to just being something
you could alias if you limited it to commits.  If I understand
correctly, that alias would be `git log --no-walk -p --cc ...` (though
you only need the explicit -p with pretty old versions of git).

If you don't have a preference, can we drop those four words?  ;-)

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from, though the context change
feels like just enough different that the four words you added bother
me a bit more.  However, this existing wording does bother me now that
you highlight it.  Even though it's not something introduced by your
patch, I'd really like to drop "normal" here; I think it is prone to
cause confusion to users and as far as I can tell provides no useful
meaning for the sentence.  (There are multiple types of single-parent
commits?  What is an "unnormal" one?  How do I tell which kind I want?
 etc...).

I have no objections against this behavior, nor did I change it, so I
don't understand what reasoning you disagree with.

The code that handles --first-parent now explicitly says it needs
corresponding format of diff output by default, exactly as you describe,
so what's the problem?

Doesn't sound good to me either. We usually do show merges. We only
don't show any kind of diffs for them.

Well, I think it's better to discuss final names instead of intermediate
refactoring ones that will disappear anyway. At least as a fist step. If
we get them right, intermediates could be fixed accordingly more
easily, I think.

Ah, I didn't catch the distinction and thus the reasoning in having
the two different functions.

Right, the fact that it's in the diff-merges module as opposed to more
general diff-lib code is probably hint enough.  I was skimming over
the patches looking for things that jumped out, and although I had
read that you were adding it to the new module, I forgot that when I
saw the "suppress()" function name.  Thanks for the reminder, and
sorry for the noise.

It is commit limiting, but the focus is more on the behavioral change
in how diffs are shown:
  * for 2-parent merges
  * for single-parent commits with cherry-pick or revert information
and acknowledging that since it has _altered_ the normal way of
showing diffs for a number of single-parent commits, that it'd be
confusing to show normal diffs of unaffected commits (how would you be
able to tell what type of diff you're looking at if both appear in the
log?).  Thus, it does commit limiting to only select commits which
will make use of the new diff type.

(I suspect it will be more common for folks to use the
--remerge-diff-only option, or whatever we end up calling it, with
`git show` where the commit limiting doesn't matter -- but I have used
it with log to go looking for "evil" reverts/cherry-picks that might
have occurred in history.)

I didn't know about --reroll-count, I've always just seen people jump
from [PATCH] to [PATCH v2].  Interesting.

You seem to be a bit confused.

The suggested fix is to ...

+static int parse_diff_merge_opts(struct rev_info *revs, const char **argv) {
+	int argcount;
+	const char *optarg;
+	const char *arg = argv[0];
+
+	if (!strcmp(arg, "-m")) {
+		/*

+		 * both fields appropriately.
+		 */
+		revs->ignore_merges = 0;
+		revs->match_missing = 1;
+	} else if (!strcmp(arg, "-c")) {
+		revs->diff = 1;
+		revs->dense_combined_merges = 0;
+		revs->combine_merges = 1;
+	} else if (!strcmp(arg, "--cc")) {
+		revs->diff = 1;
+		revs->dense_combined_merges = 1;
+		revs->combine_merges = 1;
+	} else if (!strcmp(arg, "--no-diff-merges")) {
+		revs->ignore_merges = 1;
+	} else if (!strcmp(arg, "--combined-all-paths")) {
+		revs->diff = 1;
+		revs->combined_all_paths = 1;
+	} else if ((argcount = parse_long_opt("diff-merges", argv, &optarg))) {
+		if (!strcmp(optarg, "off")) {
+			revs->ignore_merges = 1;
+		} else {
+			die(_("unknown value for --diff-merges: %s"), optarg);
+		}

... add

		return argcount;

here.  We know argcount has a valid value that was returned from
parse_long_opt() at this point.  Nobody else needs to look at the
argcount variable.

+	} else
+		return 0;
+
+	return 1;
+}

Incidentally, that is consistent with the way the original function
handled the "diff-merges" option at ...

 static int handle_revision_opt(struct rev_info *revs, int argc, const char **argv,
 			       int *unkc, const char **unkv,
 			       const struct setup_revision_opt* opt)
 {
 	const char *arg = argv[0];
 	const char *optarg;
 	int argcount;
 	const unsigned hexsz = the_hash_algo->hexsz;
 ...
-		revs->ignore_merges = 0;
-		revs->match_missing = 1;
-	} else if ((argcount = parse_long_opt("diff-merges", argv, &optarg))) {
-		if (!strcmp(optarg, "off")) {
-			revs->ignore_merges = 1;
-		} else {
-			die(_("unknown value for --diff-merges: %s"), optarg);
-		}
+	} else if ((argcount = parse_diff_merge_opts(revs, argv))) {
 		return argcount;

... this point.  We asked parse_long_opt() to supply the return
value for us, and then returned that to our caller.

-	} else if (!strcmp(arg, "--no-diff-merges")) {
-		revs->ignore_merges = 1;

I see your point, but I won't change it in these series. I think that
it'd be better if you change this yourself, independently.

Sounds good; I'll submit it after your series merges to avoid any conflicts.

OK, thanks, I now see what you meant, yet I now implemented it slightly
differently, as I finally need one point of return from the function
with non-zero value.

The end result is hopefully the same though.

That's how you currently look at it.

For me it looks like pure commit limiting with these criteria might be
useful by itself, and with my suggestion one could then achieve it
using, say:

--remerge-diff-only --diff-merges=off

What you describe is complex enough to doubt it could be entirely
described by option name, so shorter --evils might be better choice
in this case.

Overall, if you add --diff-merges=remerge as a new diff format, and then
--evils that implies the former, then it seems like all possible
use-cases will be covered, and you have short option name for the most
useful case.

Ooops! I actually did change this in the series, and now it reads:

       Note that unless one of --diff-merges variants (including short
       -m, -c, and --cc options) is explicitly given, merge commits will
       not show a diff, even if a diff format like --patch is selected,
       nor will they match search options like -S. The exception is when
       --first-parent is in use, in which case
       --diff-merges=first-parent is implied.

that hopefully is OK with you.

Ah, together with the dropping of those four extra words on the
description of --diff-merges=first-parent, this seems great.  Thanks!

I see what you're saying, and I think there's some value in it.  But I
think there's something still missing.  For example, you suggest
getting the commit limiting I mention with

    --remerge-diff-only --diff-merges=off

But --diff-merges is only supposed to control _merge_ commits, which I
flagged as the big impedance mismatch for my new option.  Why would it
turn off diffs for non-merge commits like cherry-picks and rebases?

Since you want things to have orthogonal subcomponents that can be
built up, let's assume we did make --remerge-diff-only be solely about
commit limiting.  In that case, --evils could be gotten by specifying
a combination of flags, and --evils would just be a shorthand.  What
are the flags that you would need to specify, though?  In particular,
you've only named two options above and they don't cover the necessary
behavior; a third is needed:

   --remerge-diff-only --diff-merges=remerge
--${DIFF_OPTION_NAME_FOR_CHERRY_PICKS_AND_REVERTS}=remerge

The first two aren't enough because --diff_merges only changes how
diffs for _merge_ commits are shown, and we need a flag for changing
how the single-parent cherry-pick and reverts are shown.

Yeah, I see your point. I didn't get it from the beginning that you want
yet another representation format for regular commits as well. However,
as far as I can tell, if --evils flag is active, you do consider
cherry-picks and reverts as kind of merges, that makes sense as they
actually /are/ expected to be results of specific /merge operation/,
even though they are not /merge commits/, so semantically they do have
second parent reference (to the original commit), even if a virtual one.

To further illustrate my point, reverts and cherry-picks could have been
implemented, for example, as merge commits with, say, 3-rd parent
pointing back to the original commit (not 2-nd parent, both to
differentiate from regular merges and to support cherry-picking of merge
commits.)

As a side-note, people rarely differentiate between
"merge-the-operation" and "merge-the-result" anyway, even when it leads
to confusion.

Overall, if we take the above into account, it seems to be fine if
--diff-merges does affect the representation or such "quasi-merge"
commits, for the purposes of --evils option.

Yeah, that could make sense.  We'd still need some additional flag.
One flag, perhaps --diff-merges=remerge, would be the one that would
_only_ affect actual two-parent merges (which I use as the default
instead of --cc with `git show`, and which I make implied by default
with `git log --patch` at $DAYJOB), and we'd need another name for
whatever turned those special diffs on for cherry-picks and reverts.
Further, the extra flag that turns on special diffs for cherry-picks
and reverts should turn off diffs entirely for any other single-parent
commits.  (I think it's just too confusing for any command to show
multiple single-parent commits with a mixture of different types of
diffs.)

I think you may safely pretend this special diff always produces empty
diff for regular commits, so there will be no need to "disable"
anything.

Working further on this, I've noticed very irregular interactions
between -m/-c/--cc and --oneline:

1. --oneline disables -m output for 'git log', and leaves -m output enabled
for 'git show':

$ /usr/bin/git show -n1 -m --oneline 2e673356aef | wc -l
80
$ /usr/bin/git log -n1 -m --oneline 2e673356aef | wc -l
1

2. For 'git log', --oneline disables -m output, and leaves -c/--cc output
enabled:

$ /usr/bin/git log -n1 -m --oneline 2e673356aef | wc -l
1
$ /usr/bin/git log -n1 -c --oneline 2e673356aef | wc -l
16
$ /usr/bin/git log -n1 --cc --oneline 2e673356aef | wc -l
16

The question is: what's the right interaction between --oneline and
-m/-c/--cc?

I tend to think they should be independent, so that --oneline doesn't
affect diff output, and then the only offender is -m.

What do you think?

$ /usr/bin/git --version
git version 2.25.1

If you leave off --oneline, you'll note that git show produces a diff
and git log does not (regardless of whether 2e673356aef is a merge
commit or a regular commit).  So, I don't think this is related to
--oneline.

I believe the right question is: Should -m be a no-op unless -p is
also specified?  In the past, --cc and -c were no-ops except when -p
was also specified.  It was somewhat unfriendly and surprising, and
thus was changed so that --cc and -c implied -p (and thus would cause
output for non-merge commits to be shown differently, namely shown
with a diff, in addition to affecting the type of diff shown for merge
commits).  I think -m was overlooked at the time.

> I tend to think they should be independent, so that --oneline doesn't

I agree that they should be independent, but I believe they are
already independent unless you have more evidence of weirdness
somewhere.  The differences you are seeing are due to -m, -c, and --cc
being handled differently, and I think we should probably just give -m
the same treatment that we give to -c and --cc (namely, make all three
imply -p).

Hope that helps,
Elijah

Well, so one surprise has been replaced with another, supposedly more
friendly, right?

I mean, obviously, with --cc I don't ask for diffs for non-merge
commits, so it is still a surprise they are thrown at me.

> I think -m was overlooked at the time.

Looks like it was, but maybe there was rather an actual reason for not
implying -p by -m? Maybe Junio will tell?

I think that either all diff-merge options should imply -p, or none,
from the POV of least surprise.

However, it'd give us yet another challenge: for some time already,
--first-parent implies -m, that once it starts to imply -p, will result in

  git log --first-parent

suddenly producing diff output for everything.

One way out I see is to specify that implied -m/-c/--cc don't imply
-p, only explicit do.

Entirely different approach is to get rid of -m/-c/--cc implying -p, and
just produce diff output for merges independently on -p being provided
or not. This will give us additional functionality (ability to get diff
for merges, but not for regulars), and will get rid of all the related
surprises.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Actually, that wasn't a side-effect but part of the intended change --
see https://lore.kernel.org/git/1440110591-12941-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com/.

That is definitely a pickle.

I was happy when I found out that --cc had changed to imply -p; I
guess I felt the same as Junio did with his rationale in the link I
posted above.  I've made --remerge-diff behave like --cc (i.e. it
implies -p), and I like it there too.  I use it both to turn on diffs
for merges, and to turn on diffs for regular commits without having to
specify the extra -p flag.  I guess I'm not sure why one would ever
want to see diffs for merges and not for normal commits.  Even in the
unusual case someone did, couldn't they just pass --merges (to strip
out the normal commits entirely)?

I may not have the best vantage point on this, though, because I
personally don't see enough utility in diffing a merge to just one of
its parents that it'd merit having an option to git-log, and yet we
clearly have two such options already (-m and --first-parent when
combined with -p).

But, there is at least one more way to get out of this pickle besides
the two options you listed above: we could make --first-parent be just
about commit limiting and not imply anything about diff behavior.
Honestly, I find it a little surprising that despite the fact that log
-p shows nothing for merge commits, that when I add --first-parent to
see a subset of commits I suddenly get weird, huge diffs shown for the
merges (yeah, yeah, I learned recently that it's documented behavior,
so it's not surprising anymore, just weird).  So, this wouldn't just
get rid of this new nasty pickle, but would remove another negative
surprise too.  If we're going to make a behavioral change, I'd rather
we fixed this side rather than the (IMO) nicely working --cc/-c side.


Hope that helps,
Elijah

Giving "--merges" would skip the single-strand-of-pearls commits
entirely, not even showing their log messages, so it won't be an
equivalent substitute.

I view "--first-parent" as telling "git log" to pretend all merges
are single-parent commits (as if you did squash merges), and it is a
natural consequence if "log --first-parent -p" showed each commit
with its first parent, whether it is a merge or a single-parent
commit.

Right, I said that too in my parenthetical comment; --merges would
strip out the normal commits entirely.  As I said, I'm not sure why
anyone would ever want to see diffs for merges and not for normal
commits, the closest useful thing I can imagine is commit messages +
diffs for just merges, stripping the normal commits.  Is there a
usecase here (other than the motivating example of trying to remove an
inconsistency between -m and --cc output)?

I'd personally dislike needing to specify --cc and -p together when
today I can specify just --cc.  You said as much too at [1].  Have you
since changed your mind?

Alright, fair enough.  I had always viewed it as commit limiting only
(and thus why it looked weird to me), but I really don't use
--first-parent or -m much.

But that leaves Sergey's question unanswered: should the inconsistency
between --cc and -m (namely that only the former implies -p) be
removed?  If so, since --first-parent implies -m, what's the right way
to avoid --first-parent becoming weird?  (Allow explicit -m to imply
-p, but not an implicit -m that came from --first-parent?)

If I can run "git log --some-options master..next" (or more
realistically, over the range ko/next..next) to get individual
commits (without patch) and merges (only when --cc gives some
interesting nearby-changes), I would be very happy.  But is there a
set of options that lets me do so?

So, you're saying you changed your mind since five years ago?[1]  Or
that what you said five years ago is still valid, but you'd appreciate
more/different options that allow this new thing?

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/git/1440110591-12941-1-git-send-email-gitster@pobox.com/

We got to this point in this thread because Sergey suggested reverting
the above change (as one option) in order to bring more consistency
between -m and -c/--cc.

Sorry, but I am not seeing in [1] anything that relates to the above
"want to see --cc patch for merge but just log message for single
parent commit". 5 years is a long time even in Git timescale, so I
would not be surprised if I changed my mind over time, but I am not
sure what opinion on the matter you think I expressed back then.

"git log --cc master..next" shows all commits' log messages, patch
for each single-parent commit, and combined-dense patch for each
merge.  There is no option to squelch the patch for only single
parent commits.  It may not be such a bad thing to have as an extra
option.

So, I think what I am saying is that ...

... I see use for such a feature (assuming that you didn't mean by
"diffs for merges" a regular "--first-parent -p" patch, but meant to
say "--cc" patch) in my workflow.  I'd review "log ko/next..next"
before deciding to push out the day's integration of 'next', and at
that point, I trust individual commits that came from contributors
well enough (otherwise I wouldn't be merging them to 'next'), but I
would appreciate the last chance to re-examine conflict resolutions
in merges.

It does not mean that I do not like the current behaviour that
"--cc" always implies "-p"; it is convenient.  It's just I find the
lack of feature slightly less than ideal, but I do not care deeply
enough to design how to express such a feature from the command
line.

Okay, thanks for clarifying.  It sounds like you were focusing on the
tangentially related comment I made (diffs for merges and not for
normal commits) while I was focusing on Sergey's question (should we
revert --cc implies -p).  I was having a hard time understanding if
you were answering his question or not.  This last paragraph of yours
acknowledges the question, though you still avoid answering it.  :-)

However, even my focus was on a secondary question.  His real original
question is: -m and --cc are inconsistent -- one requires -p, while
the other doesn't.  Should that be fixed...and which option(s) should
change?  He gave two possibilities I didn't like.  I added a third
that you didn't like.  So...

I do like the current behaviour that "--cc" always implies "-p"; it
is convenient.  I just wish there were a way to say "enable -p only
for merges" while taking advantage of the convenience.

So, no we should not stop "--cc" or "-c" implying "-p".

When the end-user gives "-m" on the command line of either "show" or
"log", it cleanly means the user is interested in "individual"
patches shown for each parent when showing a merge commit, so "-p"
implied by "-m" would make sense just as much as "-p" implied by
"--cc".  The same comment about the lack of "want -p to be implied
but only for merges" as an add-on feature applies here, though.

I suspect that the real reason why "-m" does not imply "-p" was
merely a historical implementation detail (e.g. imagine that we
wanted *not* to show things by default in a subcommand in "log"
family, but when "-p" is used, wanted it to mean "-m -p", or
something like that.  Setting "-m" on by default without explicitly
given from the command line, and making sure that m-bit does not
imply "-p", would be an easy-to-implement such a "when '-p' is
given, take it to mean as '-m -p'" _feature_).

If I were to decide now with hindsight, perhaps I'd make "--cc" and
"-m" imply "-p" only for merge commits, and the user can explicitly
give "--cc -p" and "-m -p" to ask patches for single-parent commits
to be shown as well.

Now I remember better.  The reason was pure oversight.

In the beginning, there was no patch output for merges.  As most
merges just resolve cleanly, and back then the first-parent chains
were treated as much much less special than we treat them today,
"git log -p" showed only patches for single-parent commits and
everybody was happy.  It could have been a possible alternative
design to show first-parent diff for a merge instead of showing no
patch, but because the traversal went to side branches, the changes
made by the merge to the mainline as a single big patch would have
been redundant---we would be seeing individual patches from the side
branch anyway.

Then later we introduced "-m -p"; since the first-parent chain was
not considered all that special, we treated each parent equally.
Nobody, not even Linus and I, thought it was useful by itself even
back then, but we didn't have anything better.

I think it was Paul Mackerras's "gitk" that invented the concept of
combined merges.  We liked it quite a lot, and added "-c" and "--cc"
soon after that, to the core git and kept polishing, until "gitk"
stopped combining the patches with each parent in tcl/tk script and
instead started telling "git" to show with "--cc".

By the time the change to make "--cc" imply "-p" was introduced, it
was pretty much given that "-m -p" was useful to anybody, unless you
are consuming these individual patches in a script or something like
that.  So simply I didn't even think of making "-m" imply "-p".  It
would be logical to make it so, but it would not add much practical
value, I would have to say.

After "now with hindsight", I need to add "and without having to
worry about backward compatibility issues" here.  IOW, the above is
not my recommendation.  It would be the other way around: "--cc"
implies "-p" for both merges and non-merges, "-m" implies "-p" for
both merges and non-merges.  It is acceptable to add a new option
"--no-patch-for-non-merge" so that the user can ask to see only the
combined diff for merges and no patches for individual commits.

Both "--no-patch-for-non-merge" option, and making "-m" imply "-p"
are very low priority from my point of view, though, since our users
(including me) lived without the former and have been happily using
"log --cc" for a long time, and we've written off the latter as
pretty much useless combination unless you are a script.

I believe you've misunderstood me slightly.

I didn't suggest bare reverting of the "-c/-cc imply -p" commit. I
rather suggested to modify current behavior to "-c/--cc enable diff
output for merge commits", then add "-m" to the mix, so that we finally
get:

  "-m/-c/--c enable diff output for merge commits".

And I should emphasize that what I mean differs from "-m/-c/--cc imply -p
for merge commits only" as Junio has put it in this discussion, even if
slightly, -- it won't imply -p, to avoid messing with --first-parent
that would imply -p through -m and enable diff for merges, that is not
what we want.

This is what I'd like to see, as it finally makes -m/-c/--cc (as well as
other --diff-merges options) focus on merge commits only and never
affect regular commits, -- the way it should be.

My alternative suggestion was to rather add "-m implies -p" to the
current state, resulting in:

  "-m/-c/--c imply -p".

However, the latter one has additional complication in handling of
"--first-parent" that currently implies -m that'd then imply -p and
suddenly give lengthy output on bare "git log --first-parent".

Fixing the latter is still possible by complicating of options handling
by specifying that implied options don't imply other options, only
explicit options do, but somehow I don't like this, -- too complex for
the job at hand. I'm still on position that option management in Git
could rather be done in much simpler manner, without need for such
complexities.

Thanks,
-- Sergey

... and then later the "--first-parent implies -m" change has been made,
that would't work as expected if -m implied -p in the fist place, as
it'd break "git log --first-parent".

OK, so, do we decide that -c/--cc must continue to imply -p and thus
request diffs for everything?

If so, I can rather change --diff-merges=combined/dense-combined
behavior to /not/ imply -p, thus effectively making --cc a synonym for
"--diff-merges=dense-combined --patch", that will have zero backward
compatibility issues.

Looks like it'd have everything covered. Old options won't change their
behavior at all, and the new set of options will behave differently,
exactly if designed from scratch, providing new functionality.

I think my above suggestion covers all the worries without need for this
nasty "--no-patch-for-non-merge" option.

That said, -m is useless, period. It'd likely have some merit in
plumbing, but definitely not in porcelain. So I'm inclined to let it
rest in peace indeed, dying.

I need some help here.

Looking at the code and trying to follow the flow, I can't figure what
rev->diff flag is for? Why rev->diffopt.output_format, that actually
affects the output, is not enough?

My confusion originates from the fact that the code in revision.c sets
rev->diff to 1 for -c/--cc , while it doesn't set it for -m, and this
was the case *before* -c/--cc started to imply -p and -m.

It seems that the only place where rev->diff is tested is at the start
of log_tree_diff(), and even there its absence could be ignored when
rev->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status is set.

Is rev->diff an optimization, does it play another significant role, or
is it a remnant?

Thanks,
-- Sergey

My vote goes to keep the above behaviour as-is for compatibility,
and probably match what happens when -m is given instead of -c/--cc,
if somebody cares enough about "-c/--cc/-m discrepancy".

That is fine by me as well.

I do not speak for others, though ;-)

Yes, all of this was from cd2bdc53 (Common option parsing for "git
log --diff" and friends, 2006-04-14).  We can see that "-m" is not
treated among the first class citizen in the output of "git show" on
the commit.  Namely, "-m" alone is merely a modifier for "-p" and
does not cause a diff to be generated (in other words, it only
affects the output if used together with "-p").

"git show cd2bdc53:git.c" would give you how "git log" looked like
back then, and how rev.diff field is used.

    static int cmd_log(int argc, const char **argv, char **envp)
    {
    ...

	prepare_revision_walk(&rev);
	setup_pager();
	while ((commit = get_revision(&rev)) != NULL) {
		if (shown && rev.diff && rev.commit_format != CMIT_FMT_ONELINE)
			putchar('\n');

We grab the next commit to show, and if we have already shown
something in the previous iteration, and if we are told to produce
patch output, we put an extra blank line after the patch for the
previous commit.  We omit that extra blank when showing the log
message in oneline format.  And then ...

		fputs(commit_prefix, stdout);
		if (rev.abbrev_commit && rev.abbrev)
			fputs(find_unique_abbrev(commit->object.sha1, rev.abbrev),
			      stdout);
		else
			fputs(sha1_to_hex(commit->object.sha1), stdout);
		if (rev.parents) {
    ...
		}
		if (rev.commit_format == CMIT_FMT_ONELINE)
			putchar(' ');
		else
			putchar('\n');
		pretty_print_commit(rev.commit_format, commit, ~0, buf,
				    LOGSIZE, rev.abbrev);
		printf("%s\n", buf);

... after showing the log message, if we were told to produce diff,

		if (rev.diff)
			log_tree_commit(&rev, commit);

we ask log_tree_commit() to show the patch.

		shown = 1;
		free(commit->buffer);
		commit->buffer = NULL;
	}
    ...

I think the code these days have most of the per-commit logic moved
to log_tree_commit() compared to the code we see above, but the
check at the beginning of log_tree_diff() we have, i.e.

    static int log_tree_diff(struct rev_info *opt, struct commit *...
    {
	int showed_log;
	struct commit_list *parents;
	struct object_id *oid;

	if (!opt->diff && !opt->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status)
		return 0;

directly corresponds to the "if rev.diff is true, then call
log_tree_commit()" in the 2006 code.

I'm not a revision walking expert, but to the best of my understanding...

Showing a diff is not the only reason you might need to compute one.
You may also need to compute them if you are filtering commits by
pathspec (-- $filename), using the pickaxe (-S foo), checking if
commits are cherry-picks (--cherry-mark), checking for commits with
certain type of file changes (--diff-filter=A), selecting commits that
modified a certain function (-L :funcname:filename --no-patch), or
others I've overlooked.  None of these cause a diff to be shown.  I
don't know if all these set rev->diff to 1 or if they special case
some other way, but I suspect that rev->diff exists as a shorthand for
"need a diff", so that the code can check for it without having to
check a half dozen special conditions.

rev->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status seems quite unlikely to be set,
though.  That setting was added with the --exit-code flag to git log
in 2008 (in the pm/log-exit-code topic), but was never documented
(other than to say it's incompatible with --check), the commit message
adding it doesn't say what behavior was intended, and the commit
message which added it added no regression tests either.  I know what
diff --exit-code does, but I'm really not sure what git-log's
--exit-code does (random guess: sets the exit code to an OR of what
git diff would have shown for any one of the commits shown?).  Since I
don't know and can't even figure it out looking at the commits in
question, I suspect there aren't too many users out there using it.
As such, I suspect rev->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status will be 0 most
of the time and that the relevant check at the top of log_tree_diff()
really is the "if (!opt->diff)" part of it.

Right, but *why* is it needed? If I do set opt->diff to 1 but don't set
opt->diffopt.output_format I get no diff, so the question essentially
is: which caller of log_tree_diff() would need to set
opt->diffopt.output_format but leave opt->diff to be 0, and why?

Even if such caller exists, it will get no diff, so it seems to be
entirely pointless.

>

I still don't see what's the correct answer to this question, sorry.

Well, I did a crush-test: commented-out entire if() at the beginning of
the log_tree_diff() and ran all the tests. The result was entirely
surprising: all the tests pass except one:

Test Summary Report
-------------------
./t1410-reflog.sh                                  (Wstat: 256 Tests: 22 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  4
  Non-zero exit status: 1
Files=912, Tests=23039, 278 wallclock secs (10.48 usr  2.12 sys + 1034.98 cusr 650.30 csys = 1697.88 CPU)
Result: FAIL

And now I wonder how comes none of specific test are able to notice the
difference, yet seemingly unrelated test fails?

Thanks,
-- Sergey

Meaning "if we are not told to show diff and if we are not told to
indicate with the exit code whether there was any difference, we do
not have to do any of the following" was skipped?  

For most cases we do use the absense of "diff" as an optimization,
but I wouldn't be surprised if a caller of log_tree_commit() that
does not set "we want diff" bit leaves the other members of rev_info
that need to be set correctly for the body of the function, which is
essentially a repeated call into diff_tree machinerly, in order to
work correctly.

The end of cmd_log_walk() does try to return diff_result_code(), but
diff_flush() can reset .has_changes to 0 or set it to 1 each
iteration, so I do not think it is "set .has_changes to 0, and never
reset to 0, but flip it to 1 if any change is found", which would
have had some chance of giving us "OR'ed together" semantics.

These patch series implement new set of options governing diff output
of merge commits, all under the umbrella of single
--diff-merges=<mode> option.

Unlike original -c/--cc options, these new options do not imply -p,
thus allowing for getting diffs for merge commits without provoking of
diff output for regular, non-merge commits. E.g.:

  git log --diff-merges=cc

will output diffs (in dense-combined format) only for merge commits,
whereas:

  git log --cc

enables diffs for all the commits being output, either merges or
simple ones.

There is also another additional functionality provided, allowing to
get the format of "-p --first-parent" without change in history
traversal that --first-parent option causes, like this:

  git log --diff-merges=first-parent

The net result of these series are the following new options:

--diff-merges=	  |  rough original equivalent
------------------+----------------
1|first-parent    | --first-parent (only diff format implications)
m|separate        | -m and enable diff for merges
c|combined        | -c and enable diff for merges, but not for regulars
cc|dense-combined | --cc and enable diff for merges, but not for
		  |      regulars

The series also cleanup logic of handling of diff merges options and
fix an issue found in the original implementation where logically
mutually exclusive options -m/-c/--cc failed to actually override each
other. Neither semantics of these old options nor their interactions
with other options, such as --first-parent and -p, is supposed to be
changed.

The series start with the set of pure refactoring commits that are expected
to introduce no functional changes. These are all commits up to and
including:

"diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handling"

The aim of these commits is to isolate options handling for diff merges so
that it could be easily understood and tweaked to ease introduction of the
new options.

Then the fix of -m/-c/-cc overriding issue follows, starting with a failing
test and followed by the fix.

Then follows a little bit of additional refactoring in order to
prepare for introduction of the new options, and finally the series
are finished by the implementation, documentation updates, and
some testing for the new options.

Updates in v2:

  * Move logic of "-c/--cc imply -p" to this module and do not imply
    -p by new --diff-merges options. Instead enable corresponding diff
    output without affecting non-merge commits. This is the most
    significant change with respect to v1 and it starts at 24/33.

  * Add support for old mnemonics: --diff-merges=(m|c|cc) to help
    those who are used to them, and add --diff-merges=1 to cover all
    variants with short mnemonics.

  * Fixed functions definitions style to have open curly brace on its
    own line, pointed to by Junio C Hamano.

  * Tweak --diff-merges=first-parent description, requested by Elijah
    Newren.

  * Fixed git-show documentation not to include description chunk
    relevant to git-log only, noticed by Elijah Newren.

  * Fixed documentation mistake claiming that -p is needed for
    diff-merges options to take effect, noticed by Elijah Newren.

  * Fixed a case where a change was put into wrong commit. The change
    moved to 11/27 form 10/27. Didn't affect end-result in any way.

  * Added short module description to diff-merges.h, as suggested by
    Junio C Hamano.

  * Fixed not returning "argcount" from	diff_merges_parse_opts(),
    noticed by Junio C Hamano.

Updates in v1:

  * Added documentation fix for git-show to include --diff-merges.

  * Fixed typos in commit messages noticed by Philip Oakley.

Use these implementations from show_setup_revisions_tweak() and
log_setup_revisions_tweak() in builtin/log.c.

This completes moving of management of diff merges parameters to a
single place, where we can finally observe them simultaneously.

Use the same "diff_merges" prefix for all the diff merges function
names.

The checks for first_parent_only don't in fact belong to this module,
as the primary purpose of this flag is history traversal limiting, so
get it out of this module and rename the

diff_merges_first_parent_defaults_to_enable()

to

diff_merges_default_to_enable()

to match new semantics.

For clarity, define public functions in the order they are called, to
make logic inter-dependencies easier to grok.

This function sets all the relevant flags to disabled state, so that
no code that checks only one of them get it wrong.

Then we call this new function everywhere where diff merges output
suppression is needed.

Call it where given functionality is needed instead of direct
checking/tweaking of diff merges related fields.

This new field allows us to separate format of diff for merges from
'first_parent_only' flag which primary purpose is limiting history
traversal.

This change further localizes diff format selection logic into the
diff-merges.c file.

Do not set revs->diff when we encounter an option that needs it, as
it'd be impossible to undo later. Besides, some other options than
what we handle here set this flag as well, and we'd interfere with
them trying to clear this flag later.

Rather set revs->diff, if finally needed, in diff_merges_setup_revs().

As an additional bonus, this also makes our code shorter.

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Add 2 expected to fail tests that demonstrate the problem.

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Fix -m to properly override -c/--cc, and change the tests accordingly.

'ignore_merges' was 3-way field that served two distinct purposes that
we now assign to 2 new independent flags: 'separate_merges', and
'explicit_diff_merges'.

'separate_merges' tells that we need to output diff format containing
separate diff for every parent (as opposed to 'combine_merges').

'explicit_diff_merges' tells that at least one of diff-merges options
has been explicitly specified on the command line, so no defaults
should apply.

The relevant flags were somewhat scattered over definition of 'struct
rev_info'. Rearrange them to group them together.

After getting rid of 'ignore_merges' field, the diff_merges_init_revs()
function became empty. Get rid of it.

To prepare introduction of new options some of which will be synonyms
to existing options, let every option handling code just call
corresponding function.

-c/--cc got precedence over -m only because of external logic where
corresponding flags are checked before that for -m. This is too
error-prone, so add code that explicitly makes these 3 options
mutually exclusive, so that the last option specified on the
command-line gets precedence.

We first implement new options as exact synonyms for their original
counterparts, to get all the infrastructure right, and keep functional
improvements for later commits.

The following values are implemented:

--diff-merges=	        old equivalent
first|first-parent    = --first-parent (only format implications)
sep|separate          = -m
comb|combined         = -c
dense| dense-combined = --cc

Move logic that handles implying -p on -c/--cc from
log_setup_revisions_tweak() to diff_merges_setup_revs(), where it
belongs.

Add 'combined_imply_patch' field and set it only for old --cc/-c
options, then imply -p if this flag is set instead of implying -p
whenever 'combined_merge' flag is set.

We don't want new --diff-merge options to imply -p, to make it
possible to enable output of diffs for merges independently from
non-merge commits. At the same time we want to preserve behavior of
old --c/-c/-m options and their interactions with --first-parent, to
stay backward-compatible.

This patch is first step in this direction: it separates old "--cc/-c
imply -p" logic from the rest of the options.

New options don't have any visible effect unless -p is either given or
implied, as unlike -c/-cc we don't imply -p with --diff-merges. To fix
this, this patch adds new functionality by letting new options enable
output of diffs for merge commits only.

Add 'merges_need_diff' field and set it whenever diff output for merges is
enabled by any of the new options.

Extend diff output logic accordingly, to output diffs for merges when
'merges_need_diff' is set even when no -p has been provided.

This adds --diff-merges={m|c|cc} values that match mnemonics of old
options, for those who are used to them.

Note that, say, --diff-meres=cc behaves differently than --cc, as the
latter implies -p and therefore enables diffs for all the commits,
while the former enables output of diffs for merge commits only.

As we now have --diff-merges={m|c|cc}, add --diff-merges=1 as synonym
for --diff-merges=first-parent, to have shorter mnemonics for it as
well.

This new option provides essential new functionality, changing diff
output to first parent only, without changing history traversal mode,
so it deserves its own test.

As we do it, add additional test that --diff-merges=first-parent by
itself doesn't imply -p and only outputs diffs for merge commits.

Not sure I like the special-casing for "sep" and "comb".  "dense"
seems okay since it's a real word.  Since you're adding short versions
of m, c, and cc later in the series, do we need these other
special-case forms?

But...didn't you add all these functions yourself earlier in the
series?  Why didn't you split this patch up and squash it into the
relevant previous patches?

You also took care to explain interactions of options with -p that
were previously undocumented, which is a nice bonus.  That wording
could still be improved a bit, though, as noted below.

Does it imply -p?

Different from what?  From --first-parent?  From flags that haven't
been covered yet?  (-c and --cc show up below)

"Historically"?  Does that mean it doesn't anymore?  (Maybe, "The
short form, `-c`, also enables diff output for non-merge commits as
well." or something like that?)

A very minor point, but I'd probably drop the "where it belongs";
while I think the new place makes sense for it, it reads to me like
you're either relying on a consensus to move it or implying there was
a mistake to not put it here previously, neither of which makes sense.

Much more importantly, this patch doesn't do what you said in
discussions on the previous round.  It'd be helpful if the commit
message called out that you are just moving the logic for now and that
a subsequent patch will tweak the logic to only trigger this for
-c/--cc and not for --diff-merges=.* flags.

The "if (0) ;" is still really weird.

I'd put this above the if-else-else block, to make it clearer why you
are returning early for the "off"/"none" case.

The random space changes squashed in here instead of being combined
with the earlier patches that introduced the relevant areas break up
the reading.  Would be nice to clean this up.

So rev_info.diff has changed in meaning from
commits-need-to-show-a-diff, to non-merge-commits-need-to-show-a-diff.
That's a somewhat subtle semantic shift.  Perhaps it's worth adding a
comment to the declaration of rev_info.diff to highlight this?  (And
perhaps even rename the flag?)

In all the other cases, --diff-merges=<short> is equivalent to
-<short>.  Here, --diff-merges=1 and -1 do _very_ different things.
Is there any concern that might cause confusion?  (My gut reaction is
this is probably fine and people won't try to make such a connection,
but it made me worry just enough that I thought I'd flag it for you
and other reviewers to at least mull over and maybe comment on.)

With this round, I was hoping to get a range-diff (using the
--range-diff option to format-patch), so I could more easily see what
was new.  Since I've been updating frequently enough, I was able to
generate this locally using Junio's published so/log-diff-merge topic,
but it'd be helpful if you could include it in any future rounds.

With your previous patch series, I scanned most the patches somewhat
briefly but looked at the final patches more closely (the series is
kind of long, and I noticed Junio had started reviewing the early part
of the series, so I figured it might be most helpful to jump in and
cover the end in case he didn't get that far).  With this round, I
read through the range-diff, and then looked at all the new patches
and have left a number of comments.  I think Junio reviewed the first
8 or so patches of an earlier round, so patches 9-21 probably could
benefit from someone reviewing more closely.

Overall, I like the direction of the series.  I think it'll make it
easier to add --remerge-diff later since it simplifies getting the
interaction between it and -m/-c/--cc/--first-parent right.  It also
adds some new capabilities you want (--diff-merges=first-parent, to
show merges as diff against first parent without only traversing first
parents), and that Junio wants (--diff-merges=dense-combined, to only
show merges for diffs without showing diffs for non-merge commits).

Hi Elijah,

Thanks a lot for reviewing the series!

Well, documentation on contributing doesn't seem to mention this. I'll
try to learn it for the future though, thanks!

Yeah, I hoped to address everything that has been discussed.

Yes, I did indeed and somehow picked wrong style from one of the
occurrences of this style in the existing Git codebase.

> Why didn't you split this patch up and squash it into the
> relevant previous patches?

When Junio noticed and pointed to this deficiency, I asked him if I
should fix all the series from the start, or it'd be OK to use fixup
commit. As he didn't answer and nobody else commented either, I opted
for the latter.

I can still do it if it's that essential, but I'd prefer not to, to
avoid both the hand-work and causing entire series to change. The
problem is that there were code movements in the series, so such a fix
to earlier patches would cause conflicts down the commits chain, to be
resolved by hand.

Thanks,
-- Sergey

Well, it was meant to be an excuse for not moving it there earlier in
the patch series indeed. I just overlooked this piece of code that
logically belongs to the diff-merges module. I think you need to
consider the state of the sources right before this patch to see the
point of phrasing it like this.

That said, I'm fine removing this either.

I believe this patch is useful by itself, even without any future
improvements (that we actually discussed), if any, so I don't see the
point in describing what this patch doesn't do.

OTOH, the commit message seems to be clear enough to expect this patch
to be pure refactoring, without any functional changes, no?

No. It's just an idiom for if-switch, making all the actual cases look
the same. Without this the first one looks special when in fact it
isn't. I won't die for it though.

That was a poor-man attempt at unique shortcuts made by hand, as well as
a reminder to consider to re-write this using generic options framework
that will do it automagically. They are just a few first letters,
nothing more. That's why I didn't even document them.

No, I don't think we do necessarily need them, but then they do no harm
either, so I didn't remove them when I added m, c, and cc. Neither was I
sure we do need these m, c, and cc in the first place.

Thanks,

An idiom (see my previous answer). I'm fine getting rid of it if you

No, the meaning of rev_info.diff hopefully didn't change. rev_info.diff
still enables all the commits to pass further once set. It is still
exactly the same old condition, just assigned to a variable for reuse.
My aim was to avoid touching existing logic of this function and only
add a new functionality when opt->merges_need_diff is set.

It looks like I rather choose confusing name for the variable, and it'd
be more clear if I'd call this, say:

  int need_diff = opt->diff || opt->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status;

?

What do you think?

I wasn't sure about this myself, and that was one reason to make this
separate commit.

I think this one also came from the idea that one might want to have,
say, --diff-merges=2 in the future and get diff with respect to the
second parent.

No, none of --diff-merges options do. This one is not any special. Why

Well, from --diff-merges=m and --diff-merges=separate, that, as any
other --diff-merge option, do produce output (for merge commits) even
without -p.

Eh, I don't think "historically" means that, but I'm not sure, being
non-native English speaker.

That's what add -p and interactive rebase is for.  :-)  Code is read
more than it is written, so it's important to get things clean.  And
not just for immediate reviewers, but for people who look at it later.

If it should have been moved there earlier, then you should amend the
relevant previous commit instead of making a new one.  rebase -i is
your friend and should be used, especially with long patch series.

I'm just pointing out that reading the patch triggers a "wait, you
said you wanted to enable diffs for merges without diffs for regular
commits" reaction and makes reviewers start diving into the code to
check if they missed where that happened.  Sometimes they'll even
respond to the commit asking about it...and then read a later patch
and find the answer.  Perhaps I'm more attuned to this, because I've
done this to reviewers a number of times and they have asked me to add
a note in the earlier commit message to make it easier for other
reviewers to follow and read the series.  You don't need to describe
in full detail the subsequent changes that will come, just highlight
that they are coming to give reviewers an aid.  For example, this
could be as simple as:

"""
Move logic that handles implying -p on -c/--cc from
log_setup_revisions_tweak() to diff_merges_setup_revs().  A
subsequent commit will tweak this logic further.
"""

(Note that 'git log --grep=subsequent' in git.git will find you
several examples of where people have done this kind of thing.)

Seems like a

would make that intent much more clear.

Well, I'd say it certainly adds clutter for reviewers, so there is at
least a little harm.  ;-)  It was on the patch that added m, c, and cc
that it particularly stood out to me, so I looked up the relevant
commit so that I could add the comment at the right place to make it
easier for you to rip out.

I've never seen this idiom, and we apparently have no uses of it in
the code.  If it were near any code I was editing, I think I'd rip it
out as a preliminary cleanup patch...but maybe others have other
opinions.

I think need_diff would actually be confusing.  It can be false when
you need diffs (e.g. --diff-merges=cc with no -p, because then you'd
need diffs for merge commits and not for non-merge commits).  I'd
stick with your original local variable name.

Perhaps opt->diff hasn't changed meaning and I just had a wrong mental
model in my head for what it meant, but even then what seems like its
obvious purpose given its name is mismatched with what it actually
does.  Since you are already changing struct rev_info in this series,
this was more a note that a name change or at least a comment for
opt->diff might be useful.  I mean, you asked a couple times on the
previous series for help trying to understand it, and I could only
offer some flailing guesses and Junio responded with a couple bits of
history.  Clearly, it isn't very clear and this patch reminded me of
that and made me wonder if we're possibly making it a little harder
for others further down the road to figure out.

The documentation on -m was vague enough that it made me wonder.
Fixing it would probably prevent me from having asked this question.

That wasn't at all clear to me as the intent of the last sentence.

Sometimes non-native speakers use the language more accurately.  This
might be such a case, but that sentence did make me think you might be
attempting to document past behavior as a way of helping people adjust
to current/new behavior.

It doesn't seem like illogical behavior to me.   Perhaps the view of
-c as a diff-merges option, reinforced by placing -c right next to
--diff-merges in the documentation, is what causes you to think so?
If so, maybe we should document -c (and --cc) separately after all the
--diff-merges options, using something like the following:

-c:::
    Implies both --patch and --diff-merges=combined, i.e. turn on
patches for normal commits and show a combined diff format for merges.

I still don't see why opt->diff is needed in the first place, and
second, why opt->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status check is here? Why
whoever sets opt->diffopt.flags.exit_with_status doesn't just set
opt->diff as well (provided opt->diff is needed in the first place)?

From the aforementioned discussion it looks like opt->diff is an
optimization (maybe a remnant from the times when diff was a separate
script), and that apparently there is some code instance somewhere that
actually relies on the fact that clearing opt->diff is enough to disable
diff machinery (as followed from my experiment of removing the check
altogether and then getting only single seemingly unrelated test
failing.)

Overall, neither have I any idea how to clarify this, nor do I want to
bother in this patch series. It'd be nice though if somebody who really
does understand diff machinery in Git does the job.

Essentially, this is poor man replacement for non-existent:

    switch(s) {
      case "str11": case "str12":
         do_things1(); break;
      case "str21": case "str22":
         do_things2(); break;
      case "str31": case "str32":
         do_things3(); break;
      default:
         default(); break
    }

Notice that all the case statements, except the last one, look the same,
while with bare "if() else" constructs you get the first one looking
special:

    if (!strcmp(s, "str11") || !strcmp(s, "str12"))
       do_things1();
    else if (!strcmp(s, "str21") || !strcmp(s, "str22"))
       do_things2();
    else if (!strcmp(s, "str31") || !strcmp(s, "str32"))
       do_things3();
    else
       default();

Now, fixing it is as easy as:

    if (0);
    else if (!strcmp(s, "str11") || !strcmp(s, "str12"))
       do_things1();
    else if (!strcmp(s, "str21") || !strcmp(s, "str22"))
       do_things2();
    else if (!strcmp(s, "str31") || !strcmp(s, "str32"))
       do_things3();
    else
       default();

and it makes reordering and #ifdefing slightly less painful as well.

Just saying rather, than insisting on adopting or even accepting it for
the Git codebase.

Thanks,

May that's because they did make sense before the patch that added m, c,
and cc, where they stood out for you.

Overall, if we do agree m, c, and cc mnemonics are good to have, I'd opt
for removing these hand-made abbrevs indeed.

I do know how to do it, but I'd still prefer it to be accepted in its
current form, as I don't see this particular case being that important
to justify rewriting of all the series. I'll go through the pain if
it's a show-stopper though.

This is to be a separate commit anyway. I can move the commit itself
more closer to the beginning, but I don't see how it'd make things
any better.

By "earlier" above I mostly meant that I should have noticed and moved
it in the first issue or the patch series.

I think I see what you mean, but I still don't like this, sorry, as:

First, this commit doesn't tweak the logic at all, so "further" doesn't
sound right.

Second, the purpose of this move is not to have subsequent commits that
will tweak this logic further in any particular way. One of the aims of
this commit is rather to make it more simple to have /any/ further
tweaks to the logic.

Third, if the "tweak" you mention is not accepted, I'd need not to only
get rid of the tweaking commit, but not to forget to edit the
description of this one, that is basically unrelated?

Yeah, I agree it's useful when commits are tightly coupled and thus the
purpose of single commit is unclear. I just don't think this one is such
a case.

Doh, I was hoping you had it all figured out.  If not, then that's a
fair enough argument not to attempt to clarify.

Well, actually, the right answer to your question is: -m is different
from *everything* ;-)

Maybe the confusion you got is not caused by the documentation, but
rather by some of your expectations? In particular, I wonder, how comes
--first-parent appeared in your question, that is entirely unrelated?

I mean I'm still unsure how to make this description more clear, maybe
this will do:

--diff-merges=separate:::
--diff-merges=m:::
-m:::
       This makes merge commits show the full diff with respect to
       each of the parents. Separate log entry and diff is generated
       for each parent. `-m` doesn't produce any output without `-p`.

-c, described as selecting specific format of representation of merge
commits, suddenly enabling diff output of non-merge commits, is logical?
No. Useful? Maybe. Logical? Not to me. Just saying, see below.

The problem with this is that it'd then be preferable to describe -m
separately as well, and that's not that simple.

Overall, I'd rather change that in place, like this:

--diff-merges=combined:::
--diff-merges=c:::
-c:::
       With this option, diff output for a merge commit shows the
       differences from each of the parents to the merge result
       simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between a
       parent and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists
       only files which were modified from all parents. `-c` implies
       `--patch`.

...so, one advantage of moving this commit earlier in the series is
that if it appears before the introduction of --diff-merges, then it
doesn't trigger the "What?  I thought we weren't making the
diff-merges flags trigger patches for non-merge commits" reaction, and
thus makes it clearer that the patch is just pure refactoring.

I think where it appears in the series makes its purpose unclear.

When you said "`-m` is different" it was not clear what you were
contrasting to.  The fact that you were contrasting to the other
values in the set of three being described by this paragraph may seem
obvious to you, and I suspect many other readers may catch on to that,
but that really honestly did not occur to me while reading it.  Maybe
I'm weird.  Maybe some subset of users will be like me and we should
tighten up the wording.  Hard to say.

:-)

I didn't say the former documentation was correct, or that the
behavior logically flowed from the documentation's claims.  And you do
bring up good points that the past documentation should have been
updated when -c and --cc were made to imply -p.  I only claimed that
-c and --cc provide logical behaviors (I want diffs for everything,
for merges do it this way...all expressed in a nice compact bundle).

Works for me.  --cc needs a similar change, obviously.

Personally, I think that a really important point to keep in mind when
submitting patch series is trying to figure out the easiest way to
move the code from point A to point B, not the route you took to get
from point A to point B.  This is especially true for longer patch
series.  It's common after you've finished a series to discover there
was an easier or cleaner route to follow that would have arrived at
the same end-point.  It's not uncommon for me to spend a significant
chunk of time rebasing and restructuring a patch series to try to
highlight such a better path.  This includes not just style fixups,
but different patch orderings, alternate ways to break up functions,
using different data structures, etc.

All that said, I don't get to choose what's accepted or not, so I
can't say if it'll be required.  What I can say is I like your series
and I think it provides obvious improvements, but I'd still recommend
against its inclusion as it stands for as long as this patch is still
present.  (I have a feeling that there are other things in this series
that possibly should be squashed, restructured, or refactored, e.g.
[1]).  This is just my opinion, of course.  You are free to disagree
with me, and wait to see what others say and what Junio does.

Me as well.

It's extra work for one person, but everyone else benefits, including
that one person in the future (who usually forgets why he/she did things
in that particular way).

Sorry if it slipped through the cracks---I get too many discussion
threads to pay attention to.

Yes, we strongly prefer *not* to keep the honest history that
records all the mistakes we made along the way.  Rather, we take the
time a topic is still in flight and not yet cast in stone by merged
to 'next' as an opportunity to pretend that the topic came to
existence in the perfect shape, thanks to collective brain effort.

It is our basic courtesy to future developers who has to read our
code (i.e. "log -p") to understand what we've been thinking, when
they want to fix some stupid bugs we will inevitably leave in our
codebase.  It is distracting to read from the beginning of a topic,
notice something funny going on and keep moveing to later patches,
while harboring puzzlement in our minds, then later discover that
the funny thing we noticed earlier was a simple mistake that gets
fixed, not some clever trick the reader needs to think deeply to
understand.

Thanks.

OK, so I'll do it.

I'd like to have some agreement on the final shape of the topic though
before I cleanup the series, if possible.

The problem is that original name I've used lies to the reader, or, more
precisely, tells half-truth. True meaning of the variable is "do run
diff for any commit, no matter if it's merge or not". So "need_diff" is
already better than "regulars_need_diff".

Maybe "diff_all_commits" will do?

In fact this can't be done as it changes the outcome, as set_xxx()
functions clear the flag.

I rather added clarification comments to the code.

While we are at it, Linux kernel developers care enough about style to
provide script that checks patch series for issues and to insist it is
run before submitting.

I've used this script to cleanup these series for the next re-roll and I
think that having semi-automated test makes a lot of sense, so you may
wish to consider to adopt it for Git as well (it seems to have some
requirements that are not enforced for Git sources, but not many).

The script is called scripts/checkpatch.pl in the Linux kernel sources.

Thanks,
-- Sergey

Yeah, this has been suggested before.

It would make the job of newcomers that haven't learned the style yet
much easier. And also it would make suggestions about the style of
patches a bit less subjective.

Cheers.

These patch series implement new set of options governing diff output
of merge commits, all under the umbrella of single
--diff-merges=<mode> option.

Unlike original -c/--cc options, these new options do not imply -p,
thus allowing for getting diffs for merge commits without provoking of
diff output for regular, non-merge commits. E.g.:

  git log --diff-merges=cc

will output diffs (in dense-combined format) only for merge commits,
whereas:

  git log --cc

enables diffs for all the commits being output, either merges or
simple ones.

There is also another additional functionality provided, allowing to
get the format of "-p --first-parent" without change in history
traversal that --first-parent option causes, like this:

  git log --diff-merges=first-parent

The net result of these series are the following new options:

--diff-merges=	  |  rough original equivalent
------------------+----------------
1|first-parent    | --first-parent (only diff format implications)
m|separate        | -m and enable diff for merges
c|combined        | -c and enable diff for merges, but not for regulars
cc|dense-combined | --cc and enable diff for merges, but not for
		  |      regulars

The series also cleanup logic of handling of diff merges options and
fix an issue found in the original implementation where logically
mutually exclusive options -m/-c/--cc failed to actually override each
other. Neither semantics of these old options nor their interactions
with other options, such as --first-parent and -p, is supposed to be
changed.

The series start with the set of pure refactoring commits that are expected
to introduce no functional changes. These are all commits up to and
including:

"diff-merges: revise revs->diff flag handling"

The aim of these commits is to isolate options handling for diff merges so
that it could be easily understood and tweaked to ease introduction of the
new options.

Then the fix of -m/-c/-cc overriding issue follows, starting with a failing
test and followed by the fix.

Then follows a little bit of additional refactoring in order to
prepare for introduction of the new options, and finally the series
are finished by the implementation, documentation updates, and
some testing for the new options.

Updates in v3:

  * Fixed all the known style issues

  * Revised -m, -c, and -cc description as suggested by Elijah Newren

  * Removed manual abbrevs for diff-merge options

  * Got rid of if(0) ; idiom

  * Renamed regulars_need_diff to all_need_diff to better reflect
    the meaning of the variable.

  * Moved "diff-merges: handle imply -p on -c/--cc logic for log.c"
    closer to the beginning of the series, where it belongs as being
    pure refactoring of the old code.

  * Added code clarification comments to set_diff_merges()

Updates in v2:

  * Move logic of "-c/--cc imply -p" to this module and do not imply
    -p by new --diff-merges options. Instead enable corresponding diff
    output without affecting non-merge commits. This is the most
    significant change with respect to v1 and it starts at 24/33.

  * Add support for old mnemonics: --diff-merges=(m|c|cc) to help
    those who are used to them, and add --diff-merges=1 to cover all
    variants with short mnemonics.

  * Fixed functions definitions style to have open curly brace on its
    own line, pointed to by Junio C Hamano.

  * Tweak --diff-merges=first-parent description, requested by Elijah
    Newren.

  * Fixed git-show documentation not to include description chunk
    relevant to git-log only, noticed by Elijah Newren.

  * Fixed documentation mistake claiming that -p is needed for
    diff-merges options to take effect, noticed by Elijah Newren.

  * Fixed a case where a change was put into wrong commit. The change
    moved to 11/27 form 10/27. Didn't affect end-result in any way.

  * Added short module description to diff-merges.h, as suggested by
    Junio C Hamano.

  * Fixed not returning "argcount" from	diff_merges_parse_opts(),
    noticed by Junio C Hamano.

Updates in v1:

  * Added documentation fix for git-show to include --diff-merges.

  * Fixed typos in commit messages noticed by Philip Oakley.

Use these implementations from show_setup_revisions_tweak() and
log_setup_revisions_tweak() in builtin/log.c.

This completes moving of management of diff merges parameters to a
single place, where we can finally observe them simultaneously.

Use the same "diff_merges" prefix for all the diff merges function
names.

The checks for first_parent_only don't in fact belong to this module,
as the primary purpose of this flag is history traversal limiting, so
get it out of this module and rename the

diff_merges_first_parent_defaults_to_enable()

to

diff_merges_default_to_enable()

to match new semantics.

For clarity, define public functions in the order they are called, to
make logic inter-dependencies easier to grok.

This function sets all the relevant flags to disabled state, so that
no code that checks only one of them get it wrong.

Then we call this new function everywhere where diff merges output
suppression is needed.

Call it where given functionality is needed instead of direct
checking/tweaking of diff merges related fields.

This new field allows us to separate format of diff for merges from
'first_parent_only' flag which primary purpose is limiting history
traversal.

This change further localizes diff format selection logic into the
diff-merges.c file.

Move logic that handles implying -p on -c/--cc from
log_setup_revisions_tweak() to diff_merges_setup_revs(), where it
belongs.

Do not set revs->diff when we encounter an option that needs it, as
it'd be impossible to undo later. Besides, some other options than
what we handle here set this flag as well, and we'd interfere with
them trying to clear this flag later.

Rather set revs->diff, if finally needed, in diff_merges_setup_revs().

As an additional bonus, this also makes our code shorter.

Add support to be able to specify expected failure, through :failure
magic, like this:

:failure cmd args

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Add 2 expected to fail tests that demonstrate the problem.

Logically, -m, -c, --cc specify 3 different formats for representing
merge commits, yet -m doesn't in fact override -c or --cc, that makes
no sense.

Fix -m to properly override -c/--cc, and change the tests accordingly.

'ignore_merges' was 3-way field that served two distinct purposes that
we now assign to 2 new independent flags: 'separate_merges', and
'explicit_diff_merges'.

'separate_merges' tells that we need to output diff format containing
separate diff for every parent (as opposed to 'combine_merges').

'explicit_diff_merges' tells that at least one of diff-merges options
has been explicitly specified on the command line, so no defaults
should apply.

The relevant flags were somewhat scattered over definition of 'struct
rev_info'. Rearrange them to group them together.

After getting rid of 'ignore_merges' field, the diff_merges_init_revs()
function became empty. Get rid of it.

To prepare introduction of new options some of which will be synonyms
to existing options, let every option handling code just call
corresponding function.

-c/--cc got precedence over -m only because of external logic where
corresponding flags are checked before that for -m. This is too
error-prone, so add code that explicitly makes these 3 options
mutually exclusive, so that the last option specified on the
command-line gets precedence.

We first implement new options as exact synonyms for their original
counterparts, to get all the infrastructure right, and keep functional
improvements for later commits.

The following values are implemented:

--diff-merges=	        old equivalent
first|first-parent    = --first-parent (only format implications)
sep|separate          = -m
comb|combined         = -c
dense| dense-combined = --cc

Add 'combined_imply_patch' field and set it only for old --cc/-c
options, then imply -p if this flag is set instead of implying -p
whenever 'combined_merge' flag is set.

We don't want new --diff-merge options to imply -p, to make it
possible to enable output of diffs for merges independently from
non-merge commits. At the same time we want to preserve behavior of
old --c/-c/-m options and their interactions with --first-parent, to
stay backward-compatible.

This patch is first step in this direction: it separates old "--cc/-c
imply -p" logic from the rest of the options.

New options don't have any visible effect unless -p is either given or
implied, as unlike -c/-cc we don't imply -p with --diff-merges. To fix
this, this patch adds new functionality by letting new options enable
output of diffs for merge commits only.

Add 'merges_need_diff' field and set it whenever diff output for merges is
enabled by any of the new options.

Extend diff output logic accordingly, to output diffs for merges when
'merges_need_diff' is set even when no -p has been provided.

This adds --diff-merges={m|c|cc} values that match mnemonics of old
options, for those who are used to them.

Note that, say, --diff-meres=cc behaves differently than --cc, as the
latter implies -p and therefore enables diffs for all the commits,
while the former enables output of diffs for merge commits only.

As we now have --diff-merges={m|c|cc}, add --diff-merges=1 as synonym
for --diff-merges=first-parent, to have shorter mnemonics for it as
well.

This new option provides essential new functionality, changing diff
output to first parent only, without changing history traversal mode,
so it deserves its own test.

As we do it, add additional test that --diff-merges=first-parent by
itself doesn't imply -p and only outputs diffs for merge commits.

FWIW this logic does make sense to me.

This latest round hasn't seen much review reactions, so I gave it a
read-thru with fresh eyes.  I didn't spot anything objectionable, so
let's start merging it down to 'next'.

Thanks.

Thanks, Junio!

In fact I'm planning to propose a few further improvements on top of
this, and wanted to wait till these patches are settled.
