This is an API to parse a Git style patch file and extract the critical metadata from the header lines, including the hunk headers and what lines they correspond to in the pre and post image files. It requires the two other series I already sent out today for QuotedString and AbbreviatedObjectId. There's TODO markers left where we still need to insert code to create some sort of warning object, and then hang the warnings off the Patch class. Given the size of the code I'm inclined to do that as yet an additional patch, rather than squash it into this series. My short-term roadmap related to this part of JGit: * Compute and collect warnings from malformed git-style patches * Correctly parse "git diff --cc" style output * Get it into egit.git I'm stopping development once I have the diff --cc output parsing correctly. My rationale is right now I need the patch metadata parsing in Gerrit 2, so that's what I'm teaching JGit to do. Maybe later in the month or early next I'll add patch application support, because I also want that in Gerrit 2. Patch application is not currently a blocking item for me; but reading the patch metadata is. Traditional patch support is really stubbed out too; there's a very small subset of traditional (non-git) style patches this code can scan the metadata from, but no tests to verify it. Gerrit 2 gets all of its data from a "git diff" process, so I only need support for git diffs right now. Yes, I'd like to add traditional patch support too, but it won't be until later in 2009 that I would even think about working on that myself. Shawn O.
