The combine diff logic knew only about blobs (and their checked-out form in the work tree, either regular files or symlinks), and barfed when fed submodules. This "externalizes" gitlinks in the same way as the normal patch generation codepath does (i.e. "Subproject commit Xxx\n") to fix the issue. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- I think we should share the implementation betweeen grab_blob() and diff.c::diff_populate_gitlink() to keep their submodule representation the same, but I am doing this as a "fix" patch and I am lazy... combine-diff.c | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/combine-diff.c b/combine-diff.c index 066ce84..0f192e1 100644 --- a/combine-diff.c +++ b/combine-diff.c @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ #include "quote.h" #include "xdiff-interface.h" #include "log-tree.h" +#include "refs.h" static struct combine_diff_path *intersect_paths(struct combine_diff_path *curr, int n, int num_parent) { @@ -90,7 +91,7 @@ struct sline { unsigned long *p_lno; }; -static char *grab_blob(const unsigned char *sha1, unsigned long *size) +static char *grab_blob(const unsigned char *sha1, unsigned int mode, unsigned long *size) { char *blob; enum object_type type; @@ -98,10 +99,15 @@ static char *grab_blob(const unsigned char *sha1, unsigned long *size) /* deleted blob */ *size = 0; return xcalloc(1, 1); + } else if (S_ISGITLINK(mode)) { + blob = xmalloc(100); + *size = snprintf(blob, 100, + "Subproject commit %s\n", sha1_to_hex(sha1)); + } else { + blob = read_sha1_file(sha1, &type, size); + if (type != OBJ_BLOB) + die("object '%s' is not a blob!", sha1_to_hex(sha1)); } - blob = read_sha1_file(sha1, &type, size); - if (type != OBJ_BLOB) - die("object '%s' is not a blob!", sha1_to_hex(sha1)); return blob; } @@ -195,7 +201,8 @@ static void consume_line(void *state_, char *line, unsigned long len) } } -static void combine_diff(const unsigned char *parent, mmfile_t *result_file, +static void combine_diff(const unsigned char *parent, unsigned int mode, + mmfile_t *result_file, struct sline *sline, unsigned int cnt, int n, int num_parent) { @@ -211,7 +218,7 @@ static void combine_diff(const unsigned char *parent, mmfile_t *result_file, if (!cnt) return; /* result deleted */ - parent_file.ptr = grab_blob(parent, &sz); + parent_file.ptr = grab_blob(parent, mode, &sz); parent_file.size = sz; memset(&xpp, 0, sizeof(xpp)); xpp.flags = XDF_NEED_MINIMAL; @@ -692,7 +699,7 @@ static void show_patch_diff(struct combine_diff_path *elem, int num_parent, /* Read the result of merge first */ if (!working_tree_file) - result = grab_blob(elem->sha1, &result_size); + result = grab_blob(elem->sha1, elem->mode, &result_size); else { /* Used by diff-tree to read from the working tree */ struct stat st; @@ -712,6 +719,12 @@ static void show_patch_diff(struct combine_diff_path *elem, int num_parent, result_size = buf.len; result = strbuf_detach(&buf, NULL); elem->mode = canon_mode(st.st_mode); + } else if (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode)) { + unsigned char sha1[20]; + if (resolve_gitlink_ref(elem->path, "HEAD", sha1) < 0) + result = grab_blob(elem->sha1, elem->mode, &result_size); + else + result = grab_blob(sha1, elem->mode, &result_size); } else if (0 <= (fd = open(elem->path, O_RDONLY))) { size_t len = xsize_t(st.st_size); ssize_t done; @@ -804,7 +817,9 @@ static void show_patch_diff(struct combine_diff_path *elem, int num_parent, } } if (i <= j) - combine_diff(elem->parent[i].sha1, &result_file, sline, + combine_diff(elem->parent[i].sha1, + elem->parent[i].mode, + &result_file, sline, cnt, i, num_parent); if (elem->parent[i].mode != elem->mode) mode_differs = 1; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
