[PATCH 0/6] Teach Status options around showing ignored files

[PATCH 0/6] Teach Status options around showing ignored files

[jameson.miller81]

From: Jameson Miller <jamill@microsoft.com>

This patch series is the second part of [1], which was split into 2
parts. The first part, added an optimization in the directory listing
logic to not scan the contents of ignored directories and was merged
to master with commit 5aaa7fd3. This patch series includes the second
part to expose additional arguments to the --ignored option on the
status command.

This patch series teaches the status command more options to control
which ignored files are reported independently of the which untracked
files are reported by allowing the `--ignored` option to take
additional arguments.  Currently, the shown ignored files are linked
to how untracked files are reported. Both ignored and untracked files
are controlled by arguments to `--untracked-files` option. This makes
it impossible to show all untracked files individually, but show
ignored "files and directories" (that is, ignored directories are
shown as 1 entry, instead of having all contents shown).
    
Our application (Visual Studio) has a specific set of requirements
about how it wants untracked / ignored files reported by git status.
It requires all untracked files listed individually. It would like
ignored files and directories that explicity match an exclude pattern
listed. If an ignored directory matches an exclude pattern, then the
path of the directory should be returned. If a directory does not
match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents are ignored, then we
want the contained files reported instead of the directory.
    
The reason for controlling these behaviors separately is that there
can be a significant performance impact to scanning the contents of
excluded directories. Additionally, knowing whether a directory
explicitly matches an exclude pattern can help the application make
decisions about how to handle the directory. If an ignored directory
itself matches an exclude pattern, then the application will know that
any files underneath the directory must be ignored as well.
    
As a more concrete example, on Windows, Visual Studio creates a bin/
and obj/ directory inside of the project where it writes all .obj and
binary build output files. Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these
2 directory names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition
to *.obj). We just want to see the "bin/" and "obj/" paths regardless
of which "--untracked-files" flag is passed in. Additionally, if we
know the bin/ and obj/ directories are ignored, then we can ignore any
files changes we notice underneath these paths, as we know they do not
affect the output of stats.

Is there a rationale for not accepting `--ignored default`?
(It's just the way OPTION_STRING inputs seem to work,
but in other cases [c.f. man git gc, search "--prune=" ] this is
just implied). Or rather: no need to spell this out explicitly IMHO,
as that draws the users attention to it, which might be confusing.

I think to make the asciidoc happy, you'd put a '+ LF' as paragraph
delimiter and the subsequent paragraphs are not indented.
C.f. Documentation/git-gc.txt "--auto".
Oh, screw that. It turns out, this place is the only place in our docs
where we use triple colons. So I don't know what I am talking about.

Here and in the following tests, I have the impression that the
leading comment says the same as the test title, so you could
omit the comments, putting all effort into a well word smithed
test title.

[PATCH 6/6] Handle unsupported combination status arguments

[jameson.miller81]

From: Jameson Miller <jamill@microsoft.com>

It is not clear what the correct behavior should be when you ask for
specific ignored behavior without reporting untracked files. For now,
report this as an unsupported combination of input arguments, so it
can be modified in the future without back compat concerns.

Is there a rationale to put this as an extra commit at the end,
or could this be squashed into the first commit as well?

Oh, this is the first check that we add here for unsupported combinations.
How much value does this comment bring to the future reader?

I see this information is also in patch 1/6.  That's a very good
thing, since that makes performance numbers involved more concrete
about which patch brings them about and it becomes part of permanent
history that way --- thanks.

But it took me a while to notice, and before then, I was trying to
read through the cover letter to get an overview of which patches I am
supposed to look at.  For next time, could the cover letter say
something like "See patches 1 and 2 for more details about the
motivation" instead of repeating the commit message content?  That
would save reviewers some time.

Thanks,
Jonathan

[PATCH v2 1/5] Teach status options around showing ignored files

[Jameson Miller]

This change teaches the status command more options to control which
ignored files are reported independently of the which untracked files
are reported by allowing the `--ignored` option to take additional
arguments.  Currently, the shown ignored files are linked to how
untracked files are reported. Both ignored and untracked files are
controlled by arguments to `--untracked-files` option. This makes it
impossible to show all untracked files individually, but show ignored
"files and directories" (that is, ignored directories are shown as 1
entry, instead of having all contents shown).

Our application (Visual Studio) has a specific set of requirements
about how it wants untracked / ignored files reported by git status.
It requires all untracked files listed individually. It would like
ignored files and directories that explicity match an exclude pattern
listed. If an ignored directory matches an exclude pattern, then the
path of the directory should be returned. If a directory does not
match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents are ignored, then we
want the contained files reported instead of the directory.

The reason for controlling these behaviors separately is that there
can be a significant performance impact to scanning the contents of
excluded directories. Additionally, knowing whether a directory
explicitly matches an exclude pattern can help the application make
decisions about how to handle the directory. If an ignored directory
itself matches an exclude pattern, then the application will know that
any files underneath the directory must be ignored as well.

As a more concrete example, on Windows, Visual Studio creates a bin/
and obj/ directory inside of the project where it writes all .obj and
binary build output files. Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these
2 directory names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition
to *.obj). We just want to see the "bin/" and "obj/" paths regardless
of which "--untracked-files" flag is passed in. Additionally, if we
know the bin/ and obj/ directories are ignored, then we can ignore any
files changes we notice underneath these paths, as we know they do not
affect the output of stats.

The description makes sense.  And it makes sense to show a directory
known to contain only ignored paths as just one entry, instead of
exploding that to individual files.

This sentence does not read well.  VS has no obligation to read from
"git status", so there is no "specific set of requirements" that
make us care.  If the output from "status" is insufficient you could
be reading from "ls-files --ignored", for example, if you want more
details than "git status" gives you.

The sentence, and the paragraph that immediately follows it, need a
serious attitude adjustment ;-), even though it is good as read as
an explanation of what the proposed output wants to show.

While the above description taken standalone makes sense, doesn't
the "we want all paths listed, without abbreviated to the directory
and requiring the reader to infer from the fact that aidrectory is
shown that everything in it are ignored" the log message stated
earlier contradict another change you earlier sent, that avoids
scanning a directory that is known to be completely untracked
(i.e. no path under it in the index) and return early once an
untracked file is found in it?

It was not my intention to have this paragraph come across this
way. I meant to express the ideal format of data that our
application would like (from whatever source) as motivation for
why we are proposing these changes. I will reword this
paragraph to remove any unintended implication otherwise.

My first set of changes introduced a perf optimization without
any functional changes. The perf optimization was to avoid
scanning a directory that is known to be ignored (i.e no path
under it in the index and the directory matches an exclude
pattern). It returns early once any file is found in it. Any file
found must be ignored, as it is contained in an ignored
directory.

This second set of changes is to allow optional decoupling of how
ignored and untracked items are reported.

Makes me wonder if DIR_SHOW_IGNORED* should be splt out into a short
enum.  We have:

 - Do not show ignored ones (0)

 - Collect ignored ones (DIR_SHOW_IGNORED)

 - Collect ignored and untracked ones separately (DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO)

 - Collect ignored and duntracked ones separately, but limit them to
   those mach exclude patterns explicitly (DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO|...MODE_MATCHING)

so we need two bits to fit a 4-possiblity enum.

Then we do not have to worry about saying quirky things like A and B
are incompatible, and C makes sense only when B is set, etc.

I could see a potential for other values for the "show ignored
mode" flags - for example: "NORMAL", "MATCHING", "ALL"... Instead
of making more change at this point in time, how would you feel
about waiting until the next change in this area.

If you would prefer for me to change these enums now, I can do
that.

"Makes me wonder" was just that.  I was made to wonder.  I did not
have strong opinions either way.  You thought about the area of this
code longer than I did, so I do not mind you picking the course of
action that is best for the project, and if you think it is better
to wait until we know more about the vocabulary we want to support
before we restructure these flags, that is fine by me.

Thanks.

The required change to the code is surprisingly small ;-) and it is
well explained in the comment.  Good job.

Hmph, having some tests in 3/5, changes in 4/5 and even more tests
in 5/5 makes me as a reader a bit confused, as the description for
these two test patches does not make it clear how they are related
and how they are different.  Is it that changes in 1/5 alone does
not fulfill the promise made by documentation added at 2/5 so 3/5
only has tests for behaviour that works with 1/5 alone but is broken
with respect to what 2/5 claims until 4/5 is applied, and these "not
working with 1/5 alone, but works after 4/5" are added in this step?

Correct. The changes in 1/5 are to implement "--ignored=matching"
with "--untracked-files=all" with corresponding tests in 3/5. The
changes in 4/5 are to implement "--ignored=matching"
with "--untracked-files=normal" and the corresponding tests are
in 5/5.

Do you have a preference on how I organized this work? I see
several possible ways to split up this work. Maybe it would be
less confusing to have the implementation in the first two
commits, then 1 commit with all the tests, and then a commit with
the documentation? I think it makes sense to have the logic for
the different flag combinations split into their own commits, but
I am open to any suggestions.

Yeah, there are some alternatives, all valid.  

Support matching/all combination in 1/5, document that in 2/5, test
that in 3/5 and then do the same 3-patch series to support
matching/normal combination in 4/5, 5/5 and 6/5 would be one.  Doing
code, doc and test for matching/all in one patch and doing code, doc
and test for matching/normal in another patch, resulting in a
two-patch series may be another.  Or your "code for matching/all in
1/5, code for matching/normal in 2/5, doc and test for both in
subsequent steps" is fine, too.  All of these would not leave things
in inconsistent state when we interrupt the series in the middle,
which is a desirable property for those who want to understand the
topic.

Please make sure these titles mix well when they appear together
with changes from other people that are completely unrelated to
them.  Keep in mind that your "git status" is *not* the most
important thing in the world (of course, it is no less important
than others, either).  Perhaps

    status: add new options to show ignored files differently
    status: document logic to show new directory
    status: test --ignored=matching

etc.  Rules of thumb:

 (1) choose "<area>: " prefix appropriately
 (2) keep them short and to the point
 (3) word that follow "<area>: " prefix is not capitalized
 (4) no need for full-stop at the end of the title

The main difference is to address feedback around commit organization

[PATCH v3 1/4] status: add option to show ignored files differently

[Jameson Miller]

Teach the status command more flexibility in how ignored files are
reported. Currently, the reporting of ignored files and untracked
files are linked. You cannot control how ignored files are reported
independently of how untracked files are reported (i.e. `all` vs
`normal`). This makes it impossible to show untracked files with the
`all` option, but show ignored files with the `normal` option.

This work 1) adds the ability to control the reporting of ignored
files independently of untracked files and 2) introduces the concept
of status reporting ignored paths that explicitly match an ignored
pattern. There are 2 benefits to these changes: 1) if a consumer needs
all untracked files but not all ignored files, there is a performance
benefit to not scanning all contents of an ignored directory and 2)
returning ignored files that explicitly match a path allow a consumer
to make more informed decisions about when a status result might be
stale.

This commit implements --ignored=matching with --untracked-files=all.
The following commit will implement --ignored=matching with
--untracked=files=normal.

As an example of where this flexibility could be useful is that our
application (Visual Studio) runs the status command and presents the
output. It shows all untracked files individually (e.g. using the
'--untracked-files==all' option), and would like to know about which
paths are ignored. It uses information about ignored paths to make
decisions about when the status result might have changed.
Additionally, many projects place build output into directories inside
a repository's working directory (e.g. in "bin/" and "obj/"
directories). Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these 2 directory
names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition to the *.obj
pattern).If an application could know that these directories are
explicitly ignored, it could infer that all contents are ignored as
well and make better informed decisions about files in these
directories. It could infer that any changes under these paths would
not affect the output of status. Additionally, there can be a
significant performance benefit by avoiding scanning through ignored
directories.

When status is set to report matching ignored files, it has the
following behavior. Ignored files and directories that explicitly
match an exclude pattern are reported. If an ignored directory matches
an exclude pattern, then the path of the directory is returned. If a
directory does not match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents
are ignored, then the contained files are reported instead of the
directory.

Thanks for an updated log message.  Very nicely explained.

We used to use "show_ignored_in_status" variable that can be either
0 (when no --ignored is given, or an explicit --no-ignored is given,
on the command line) or 1 (when --ignored is given on the command
line).

We still allow "--ignored" without value for backward compatibility,
but 

    $ git status -uall --ignored \*.c

may trigger die() from handle_ignored_arg().  I wonder if this is
something we care about.

	... goes and digs ...

OK, because of PARSE_OPT_OPTARG, the above is safe; "*.c" is not
mistaken as the value given to the --ignored option.  It also means
that

    $ git status -uno --ignored matching

would not mean what a naïve reader may expect and does not error
out, even though

    $ git status -uno --ignored=matching

would.  Which is something we eventually might care about, but that
is how parse-options PARSE_OPT_OPTARG works, and I consider "fixing"
it is totally out of the scope of this series (e.g. the next option
"--ignore-submodules" below shares exactly the same issue).

Now we no longer use show_ignored_files that was a boolean yes/no,
and instead use an enum show_ignored_mode, we'd better spell this
out like so:

	if (s->show_ignored_mode == SHOW_NO_IGNORED) {

>  		dir.flags |= DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO;
> -	else
> +
> +		if (s->show_ignored_mode == SHOW_MATCHING_IGNORED)
> +			dir.flags |= DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING;

Mental note: the old "show_ignored_files is true" case is now split
into two, i.e. traditional vs matching.  When matching is used,
dir.flags gets a new bit, i.e. DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING.
Lack of that bit means dir.c helpers should behave as before.

It somehow feels superfluous to check both TOO and TOO_MODE_MATCHING
here (IOW, wouldn't the latter be superset of the former?  Is there
a valid case where the latter is set but not the former?), but it is
perhaps OK as belt-and-suspenders sanity.

The only caller of treat_directory() calls us when the path we are
seeing (sans trailing '/' that was added immediately before we were
called) passed "is_excluded()" check in the caller, so at this
point, the directory in question is being excluded because it
matched an exclude pattern.  IOW, if we are a/b/c, a pattern such as
"a/b/*" may have said we are excluded and made the call to this
function.  Do we need to ensure that a pattern like "a/*" is not
what excluded us?  Or IGNORED_TOO_MODE_MATCHING also should show
"a/b/c" when a pattern "a/*" matched it as "ignored because it
matched an exclude pattern"?

... I guess we won't get into such a situation because this codepath
will return only _excluded or _none when we are handing "a/b" which
is already excluded "a/*", and does not cause the caller to recurse
into "a/b/c" in the first place.  So the updated code looks fine.

We test directories here?

All tests are testing --ignored=matching, do we want to have at least one test
of "no" and "traditional" as well? (Just to see if the parsing works;
we can modify
an existing test for that?)

Ben's fsmonitor series already uses t7519, so please move this
somewhere else.  Perhaps

    git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A master pu t/

would help you see what new tests that are missing from 'master'
are added by topics in flight.

[PATCH v4 1/4] status: add option to show ignored files differently

[Jameson Miller]

Teach the status command more flexibility in how ignored files are
reported. Currently, the reporting of ignored files and untracked
files are linked. You cannot control how ignored files are reported
independently of how untracked files are reported (i.e. `all` vs
`normal`). This makes it impossible to show untracked files with the
`all` option, but show ignored files with the `normal` option.

This work 1) adds the ability to control the reporting of ignored
files independently of untracked files and 2) introduces the concept
of status reporting ignored paths that explicitly match an ignored
pattern. There are 2 benefits to these changes: 1) if a consumer needs
all untracked files but not all ignored files, there is a performance
benefit to not scanning all contents of an ignored directory and 2)
returning ignored files that explicitly match a path allow a consumer
to make more informed decisions about when a status result might be
stale.

This commit implements --ignored=matching with --untracked-files=all.
The following commit will implement --ignored=matching with
--untracked=files=normal.

As an example of where this flexibility could be useful is that our
application (Visual Studio) runs the status command and presents the
output. It shows all untracked files individually (e.g. using the
'--untracked-files==all' option), and would like to know about which
paths are ignored. It uses information about ignored paths to make
decisions about when the status result might have changed.
Additionally, many projects place build output into directories inside
a repository's working directory (e.g. in "bin/" and "obj/"
directories). Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these 2 directory
names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition to the *.obj
pattern).If an application could know that these directories are
explicitly ignored, it could infer that all contents are ignored as
well and make better informed decisions about files in these
directories. It could infer that any changes under these paths would
not affect the output of status. Additionally, there can be a
significant performance benefit by avoiding scanning through ignored
directories.

When status is set to report matching ignored files, it has the
following behavior. Ignored files and directories that explicitly
match an exclude pattern are reported. If an ignored directory matches
an exclude pattern, then the path of the directory is returned. If a
directory does not match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents
are ignored, then the contained files are reported instead of the
directory.

[PATCH v5 1/4] status: add option to show ignored files differently

[jameson.miller81]

From: Jameson Miller <jamill@microsoft.com>

Teach the status command more flexibility in how ignored files are
reported. Currently, the reporting of ignored files and untracked
files are linked. You cannot control how ignored files are reported
independently of how untracked files are reported (i.e. `all` vs
`normal`). This makes it impossible to show untracked files with the
`all` option, but show ignored files with the `normal` option.

This work 1) adds the ability to control the reporting of ignored
files independently of untracked files and 2) introduces the concept
of status reporting ignored paths that explicitly match an ignored
pattern. There are 2 benefits to these changes: 1) if a consumer needs
all untracked files but not all ignored files, there is a performance
benefit to not scanning all contents of an ignored directory and 2)
returning ignored files that explicitly match a path allow a consumer
to make more informed decisions about when a status result might be
stale.

This commit implements --ignored=matching with --untracked-files=all.
The following commit will implement --ignored=matching with
--untracked=files=normal.

As an example of where this flexibility could be useful is that our
application (Visual Studio) runs the status command and presents the
output. It shows all untracked files individually (e.g. using the
'--untracked-files==all' option), and would like to know about which
paths are ignored. It uses information about ignored paths to make
decisions about when the status result might have changed.
Additionally, many projects place build output into directories inside
a repository's working directory (e.g. in "bin/" and "obj/"
directories). Normal usage is to explicitly ignore these 2 directory
names in the .gitignore file (rather than or in addition to the *.obj
pattern).If an application could know that these directories are
explicitly ignored, it could infer that all contents are ignored as
well and make better informed decisions about files in these
directories. It could infer that any changes under these paths would
not affect the output of status. Additionally, there can be a
significant performance benefit by avoiding scanning through ignored
directories.

When status is set to report matching ignored files, it has the
following behavior. Ignored files and directories that explicitly
match an exclude pattern are reported. If an ignored directory matches
an exclude pattern, then the path of the directory is returned. If a
directory does not match an exclude pattern, but all of its contents
are ignored, then the contained files are reported instead of the
directory.

++
+The possible options are:
++
+	- 'traditional' - Shows ignored files and directories, unless
+			  --untracked-files=all is specifed, in which case
+			  individual files in ignored directories are
+			  displayed.
+	- 'no'	        - Show no ignored files.
+	- 'matching'    - Shows ignored files and directories matching an
+			  ignore pattern.
++
+When 'matching' mode is specified, paths that explicity match an
+ignored pattern are shown. If a directory matches an ignore pattern,
+then it is shown, but not paths contained in the ignored directory. If
+a directory does not match an ignore pattern, but all contents are
+ignored, then the directory is not shown, but all contents are shown.
