Our ":git blame" annotates each line with the most recent commit.
However often a line has been modified by several commits.
Introduce ":git blame-jump" which shows the commit that added the
line at cursor. Crucially, it works also in Git diff buffers, so it
can be used recursively to find the full history of a line.
To do the recursive blame from a diff, I need to navigate to the
old (deleted) version of a line. Since old and new line are usually
neighbors. Speed up the common scenario of finding the old version
by making ":git blame-jump" jump to the new version. This means the
initial diff view might not include the commit message etc. Compensate
this by showing the commit's date+author+subject in the status line.
Here are some test cases.
- run blame-jump after "git blame"
- create an uncommitted or unsaved line, run "git blame" and
"blame-jump" on the uncommitted line
- run blame-jump without running "git blame"
- run blame-jump in "git show"
- run blame-jump in "git diff HEAD"
- run blame-jump in "git diff --cached"
- run blame-jump in "git diff" (YMMV if there are cached changes,
could fix that)
Naming: there are some similar commands in the wild [1];
they are usually called "show-blamed" or similar, but they
don't jump to the corresponding line. Also our list of git
commands is getting a bit messy (especially the undocumented
show-diff/hide-diff/next-hunk/prev-hunk; subject first naming seems
better).

Future work: to go back to the previously-blamed commit we need to
have had the foresight to use "rename-buffer". Perhaps we want to
add some kind of buffer stack (like Magit does for example).
Most diff consumers we've written only care about the "final" state
after parsing through a diff. Let's extract the diff parsing part,
for reuse in several new commands.
In future we should try to use this (or better, a diff-parsing library)
for patch-range.pl. We'd add a callback argument that is invoked once
perl hunk (or line). Unfortunately I haven't found that library for
Perl yet.
Diff buffers created by ":git diff" differ from other filetype=diff
buffers in that they use "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" as root
directory for diff-jump. This makes sense because paths printed by
"git diff" are relative to that directory.
Today we handle the above difference by making ":git" override the
diff-jump mapping. This doesn't work for buffers that were read from
a file. Fix this by introducing a separate filetype, "git-diff",
which allows to move the mapping in the usual place.
This breaks existing filetype=diff hooks[1] which need to be adapted
to match git-diff (also git-log).
Another motivation for the separate filetype is that a following
patch wants to enable Git blame commands in git-diff buffers but
not in plain diff buffers -- those should keep being blamed like any
other file if tracked by Git.
Perhaps git-* buffers are for Git metadata, not files that are tracked
by Git.
The added hooks awkwardly include their hook parameter to work around
hook ordering issues when switching between filetypes. See also [2].
We could also use filetype=git-log instead of git-diff.
Our highlighting for "git log --graph" would have rare false positives.

When a buffer has unsaved deleted/added lines, then any blame
annotations below those lines may be off. Fix this by feeding the
latest buffer contents to Git. Unfortunately there is no easy way
to distinguish between "Unsaved" and "Saved but not committed yet"
so let's keep using the umbrella term.
We double-parse a command definition to figure out the location of
a support script at load time. This feels a bit dangerous and is not
really necessary, so use %val{runtime}/rc/tools/... instead.

Internally, all lines have a trailing "\n".
Buffers created empty (like fifo buffers) start with a single line.
When reading data into fifo buffers, we insert *before* the last line's
trailing newline ("last newline"). This enables autoscrolling (enabled
with "edit -scroll") as long as the cursor is on the last newline.
When autoscrolling is disabled, we have a special case to insert
*after* the last newline. This means that a cursor on that newline
won't be moved. Then we transplant the newline character from the
beginning to the end of the buffer. This special case happens only on
the very first fifo read; on subsequent reads, the cursor at position
1.1 will not be moved anway because insertions happen below 1.1.
Since we always insert (effectively) before the last newline, fifo
buffers have a trailing empty line.
For autoscrolling buffers this seems correct; it gives users an
obvious way to toggle autoscrolling.
For non-scrolling buffers the newline is redundant. Remove it.
This requires keeping track of whether the last newline comes from
the fifo, or was added by us. The shortest fix I could find
is to always append to the buffer if not scrolling, and then delete
the added newline character if applicable.
m_buffer.insert(m_scroll ? pos : m_buffer.next(pos), StringView(data, data+count));
if (not m_scroll and not m_had_trailing_newline)
m_buffer.erase(pos, m_buffer.next(pos));
maybe that's the best fix overall; but erasing at the end seems better
than erasing in the middle, so do that whenever possible.

When "edit -fifo" reads data without a trailing newline, the fifo
buffer will not have a trailing blank line. But if there is a trailing
newline, we will get a trailing blank line. This is weird because the
trailing blank line exists for scrolling, it should not be determined
by the data read.
Add a test case to demonstrates the inconsistency which is fixed by
the next patch.
Patches as produced by "git format-patch" have a trailing signature
that is separated from the body by a line with "-- " on it. By default
it contains the Git version. We erroneously include this signature
in the diff we pipe to patch, which fails to apply as a result.
Add a targeted fix to suppress these signatures.
Sometimes a patch that fails to apply will apply cleanly after
adding -3. Also sometimes we do want to apply with conflict markers.
So this is another somewhat common option.
Sorry I did not test my earlier patch in production. It passes
blame flags via the environment. On a 5000 line file this results in
"execve failed: Argument list too long" errors.
Use a different way of checking whether blame info is shown.
Since :patch transforms its inputs into context-only lines, we can
easily get into a state where a file diff has only context lines.
git apply does not accept a "diff" without any hunk, so let's skip
that.
It is not an obviously better result than just displaying results
from each tag file, so remove sorting to take advantage of live
completion updates
As discussed in #5081
This test doesn't care about testing things like "if I send the next
key before we have finished reacting to the previous ones, nothing
bad ever happens".
Hence we can until exhaustion after each input. This should fix
bespoke flakiness. The handling of "c<esc>" should be atomic.
This reasoning probably applies to most tests; waiting for all events
seems like the safest and easiest approach overall (compared to sleep
or sleep-until). The downside is that the tests need changes when
UI code changes but it rarely does, and if it does we can automate
the updates.
Closes#5073
As of recently, shell script candidate completions are computed in
the background, and displayed incrementally.
Sorting completions means we can't show partial results.
We do this for "ctags-search"; but if there is only one ctags file
there is already a sensible order (which is slightly different than
what GNU sort does). So let's preserve the order in that case.
The number of completions is probably too high for an order to be useful.
Similarly, for "man", sorting is probably not very helpful because
there are so many results.

The last update is from 2017, it's pretty outdated. Current
support was combined from existing languages such as Ruby and
Zig and tweaked to fit the Pony language.
It turns out diffing was pretty fast, but applying the diff was
sub-optimal as it was constantly inserting/erasing lines which
led to lots of unnecessary shifting. Fix this by manually tracking
a read/write iterator and only shifting when necessary (on keeps,
and inserts).
