Jeff King 4cfc971a2b diff: don't use diff_options.use_color as a strict bool
We disable --color-moved if color is not in use at all. This happens in
diff_setup_done(), where we set options->color_moved to 0 if
options->use_color is not true. But a strict boolean check here is not
correct; use_color could be GIT_COLOR_UNKNOWN or GIT_COLOR_AUTO, both of
which evaluate to true, even though we may later decide not to show
colors.

We should be using want_color() to convert that git_colorbool into a
true boolean. As it turns out, this does not produce wrong output. Even
though we go to the trouble to detect the moved lines, ultimately we get
the color values from diff_get_color(), which does check want_color().
And so it returns the empty string for each color, and we "color" the
result with nothing.

So the output is correct, but there is a small but measurable
performance cost to doing the line detection. E.g., in git.git before
and after this patch (there are no colors shown because hyperfine
redirects output to /dev/null):

  Benchmark 1: ./git.old log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000
    Time (mean ± σ):      1.019 s ±  0.013 s    [User: 0.955 s, System: 0.064 s]
    Range (min … max):    1.005 s …  1.045 s    10 runs

  Benchmark 2: ./git.new log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000
    Time (mean ± σ):     982.9 ms ±  14.5 ms    [User: 925.8 ms, System: 57.1 ms]
    Range (min … max):   965.1 ms … 1003.2 ms    10 runs

  Summary
    ./git.new log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000 ran
      1.04 ± 0.02 times faster than ./git.old log --no-merges -p --color-moved -1000

Note that the fix is not quite as simple as just calling want_color()
from diff_setup_done(). There's a subtle timing issue that goes back to
daa0c3d971 (color: delay auto-color decision until point of use,
2011-08-17), the commit that adds want_color() in the first place.  As
discussed there, we must delay evaluating the colorbool value until all
pager setup is complete.

So instead, we'll leave the "color_moved" field intact in diff_setup_done(),
and modify the point where it is evaluated. Fortunately there is only
one such spot that controls whether we run any of the color-moved code
at all.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
