The previous commit switched use of writefile() to binary mode so that
we could prevent a newline being added to a completely empty buffer.
Evidently, however, binary mode has side effects (see #567) so this
commit returns to non-binary mode - with a simpler fix for completely
empty files.
Unfortunately this implementation does not work for noeol files - see
the failing test - because writefile() does not take account of
'nofixeol' (unlike :write). This is suboptimal but acceptable because
noeol files are not be encountered often.
See #567.
An empty, unchanged file was considered to be changed (a new line
added).
This patch fixes s:write_buffer to use binary mode with `writefile` to
not append a newline always, and does so manually for non-empty buffers,
according to &endofline, &binary and &fixendofline.
This is taken out of Neomake, and tested there in
https://github.com/neomake/neomake/blob/091d148b/tests/utils.vader#L713-L759.
The diffing part of the plugin diffs two files which are written afresh
each time. When the same buffer was processed twice in quick
succession, the second process to write a file could write it before the
first process had finished reading it. This manifested as the "from"
file being read as empty, causing diff to report that all the lines in
the file had been added.
This commit adds a counter to disambiguate successive temporary files.
Previously gitgutter could only diff the buffer against the index. This
change enables diffing against the working tree, which will be useful
for stashing.
This provides `g:gitgutter_hook_context` during the hook's execution and
removes the `:silent`, but uses `exists()` instead.
The bufnr might be necessary to know in the User autocommand, e.g. to
clear some cache.
Not using`:silent` is good practice in general to not hide (wanted)
output and errors etc.
This is to avoid side effects caused by switching to the buffer to be
written and back again.
It also means that the plugin can process any buffer without having to
make it the current buffer.
Using the lower level writefile() function means we have to deal with
line endings. It might also mean we have to deal with (file) encodings
but I hope not...
See #463, #466.
- Hunk stage/undo/preview no longer saves the buffer.
- Hunk undo no longer makes locations go out of sync.
- Grep can be opted out of (grep output with ansi escapes is number one cause
of issues).
- Replaced g:gitgutter_grep_command with g:gitgutter_grep.
- Always runs git-diff the same way instead of in two possible ways.
- Separated detection of git tracking from diffing.
- Simplified path handling.
- Removed support for xolox shell: Windows taskbar does not flash with async
jobs.
- Removed g:gitgutter_{eager,realtime}.
- Simplified implementation generally.
Before the plugin tries to diff a file, it checks whether git is
tracking the file. If git isn't tracking the file, it stops there and
doesn't display any signs. If git is tracking the file, the plugin
remembers so next time it can skip the check.
When I introduced asynchronous diffing for NeoVim (18b78361), I made a
refactoring mistake which caused the plugin on second and subsequent
runs [to always think git is tracking a file][1].
The non-realtime diffs – the ones you get when you save a buffer –
basically run `git diff FILE`. With an untracked file git returns
nothing and exits successfully. So although the plugin erroneously
thinks git is tracking the file, it gets an error-free, empty diff back
and so removes any and all signs. Which means that the bug doesn't make
any difference.
However the realtime diffs write the buffer's contents to a temporary
file, and write the file as staged in the index to a temporary file,
then run `git diff FILE1 FILE2`. To write the staged version of the
file we use `git show :FILE > TMPFILE`.
When `FILE` isn't known to git, `git show :FILE` exits with an error.
Unless, that is, [the filename contains square brackets and you're using
git v2.5.0+][2], in which case git exits successfully with empty output.
So if you're using git v2.5.0+, and you're editing an untracked file in
a repository, and the filename contains square brackets, the plugin will
think: git is tracking the file; the realtime diff is successful; the
file in the index is empty; so every line in the the working copy must
be an addition; hence a `+` sign on every line.

"Undo" is a better name than "revert" because:
- "revert" sounds like it has something to do with `git-revert` but they
are entirely different;
- "undo" is consistent with vim's "undo": discarding changes and going
back to the original.
Maintain backwards compatibility and add deprecation warnings.
Closes#306.
