Overview

Package blame contains blaming functionality for files in the repo.

Blaming a file is finding what commit was the last to modify each of the lines in the file, therefore the output of a blaming operation is usualy a slice of commits, one commit per line in the file.

This package also provides a pretty print function to output the results of a blame in a similar format to the git-blame command.

Package revlist allows to create the revision history of a file, this is, the list of commits in the past that affect the file.

The general idea is to traverse the git commit graph backward, flattening the graph into a linear history, and skipping commits that are irrelevant for the particular file.

There is no single answer for this operation. The git command "git-revlist" returns different histories depending on its arguments and some internal heuristics.

The current implementation tries to get something similar to what you whould get using git-revlist. See the failing tests for some insight about how the current implementation and git-revlist differs.

Another way to get the revision history for a file is: git log --follow -p -- file

Functions

func SortCommits

func SortCommits(l []*Commit)

SortCommits sort a commit list by commit date, from older to newer.

Types

type Blame

type Blame struct {
	Path  string
	Rev   core.Hash
	Lines []*line
}

type Blob

type Blob struct {
	Hash core.Hash
	Size int64
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Blob is used to store file data - it is generally a file.

func (*Blob) Decode

func (b *Blob) Decode(o core.Object) error

Decode transform an core.Object into a Blob struct

func (*Blob) Reader

func (b *Blob) Reader() io.Reader

Reader returns a reader allow the access to the content of the blob

type Commit

type Commit struct {
	Hash      core.Hash
	Author    Signature
	Committer Signature
	Message   string
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Commit points to a single tree, marking it as what the project looked like at a certain point in time. It contains meta-information about that point in time, such as a timestamp, the author of the changes since the last commit, a pointer to the previous commit(s), etc. http://schacon.github.io/gitbook/1_the_git_object_model.html

func (*Commit) Blame

func (c *Commit) Blame(path string) (*Blame, error)

Blame returns the last commit that modified each line of a file in a repository.

The file to blame is identified by the input arguments: repo, commit and path. The output is a slice of commits, one for each line in the file.

Blaming a file is a two step process:

  1. Create a linear history of the commits affecting a file. We use revlist.New for that.
  1. Then build a graph with a node for every line in every file in the history of the file.

    Each node (line) holds the commit where it was introduced or last modified. To achieve that we use the FORWARD algorithm described in Zimmermann, et al. "Mining Version Archives for Co-changed Lines", in proceedings of the Mining Software Repositories workshop, Shanghai, May 22-23, 2006.

    Each node is asigned a commit: Start by the nodes in the first commit. Assign that commit as the creator of all its lines.

    Then jump to the nodes in the next commit, and calculate the diff between the two files. Newly created lines get assigned the new commit as its origin. Modified lines also get this new commit. Untouched lines retain the old commit.

    All this work is done in the assignOrigin function which holds all the internal relevant data in a "blame" struct, that is not exported.

    TODO: ways to improve the efficiency of this function:

  2. Improve revlist

  3. Improve how to traverse the history (example a backward traversal will be much more efficient)

    TODO: ways to improve the function in general:

  4. Add memoization between revlist and assign.

  5. It is using much more memory than needed, see the TODOs below.

func (*Commit) Decode

func (c *Commit) Decode(o core.Object) error

Decode transform an core.Object into a Blob struct

func (*Commit) File

func (c *Commit) File(path string) (file *File, err error)

File returns the file with the specified "path" in the commit and a nil error if the file exists. If the file does not exists, it returns a nil file and the ErrFileNotFound error.

func (*Commit) NumParents

func (c *Commit) NumParents() int

NumParents returns the number of parents in a commit.

func (*Commit) Parents

func (c *Commit) Parents() *CommitIter

func (*Commit) References

func (c *Commit) References(path string) ([]*Commit, error)

References returns a References for the file at "path", the commits are sorted in commit order. It stops searching a branch for a file upon reaching the commit were the file was created.

Caveats:

  • Moves and copies are not currently supported.
  • Cherry-picks are not detected unless there are no commits between them and therefore can appear repeated in the list. (see git path-id for hints on how to fix this).
