Constructor Detail

DiffFormatter

public DiffFormatter(OutputStream out)

Create a new formatter with a default level of context.

Parameters:

out - the stream the formatter will write line data to. This stream should have buffering arranged by the caller, as many small writes are performed to it.

Method Detail

getOutputStream

protected OutputStream getOutputStream()

Get output stream

Returns:

the stream we are outputting data to

setRepository

public void setRepository(Repository repository)

Set the repository the formatter can load object contents from. Once a repository has been set, the formatter must be released to ensure the internal ObjectReader is able to release its resources.

Parameters:

repository - source repository holding referenced objects.

setReader

public void setReader(ObjectReader reader,
                      Config cfg)

Set the repository the formatter can load object contents from.

Parameters:

reader - source reader holding referenced objects. Caller is responsible for closing the reader.

cfg - config specifying diff algorithm and rename detection options.

Since:

4.5

setContext

public void setContext(int lineCount)

Change the number of lines of context to display.

Parameters:

lineCount - number of lines of context to see before the first modification and after the last modification within a hunk of the modified file.

setAbbreviationLength

public void setAbbreviationLength(int count)

Change the number of digits to show in an ObjectId.

Parameters:

count - number of digits to show in an ObjectId.

setDiffAlgorithm

public void setDiffAlgorithm(DiffAlgorithm alg)

Set the algorithm that constructs difference output.

Parameters:

alg - the algorithm to produce text file differences.

See Also:

HistogramDiff

setDiffComparator

public void setDiffComparator(RawTextComparator cmp)

Set the line equivalence function for text file differences.

Parameters:

cmp - The equivalence function used to determine if two lines of text are identical. The function can be changed to ignore various types of whitespace.

See Also:

RawTextComparator.DEFAULT, RawTextComparator.WS_IGNORE_ALL, RawTextComparator.WS_IGNORE_CHANGE, RawTextComparator.WS_IGNORE_LEADING, RawTextComparator.WS_IGNORE_TRAILING

setBinaryFileThreshold

public void setBinaryFileThreshold(int threshold)

Set maximum file size for text files. Files larger than this size will be treated as though they are binary and not text. Default is 52428800 .

Parameters:

threshold - the limit, in bytes. Files larger than this size will be assumed to be binary, even if they aren't.

setOldPrefix

public void setOldPrefix(String prefix)

Set the prefix applied in front of old file paths.

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix in front of old paths. Typically this is the standard string "a/", but may be any prefix desired by the caller. Must not be null. Use the empty string to have no prefix at all.

getOldPrefix

public String getOldPrefix()

Get the prefix applied in front of old file paths.

Returns:

the prefix

Since:

2.0

setNewPrefix

public void setNewPrefix(String prefix)

Set the prefix applied in front of new file paths.

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix in front of new paths. Typically this is the standard string "b/", but may be any prefix desired by the caller. Must not be null. Use the empty string to have no prefix at all.

getNewPrefix

public String getNewPrefix()

Get the prefix applied in front of new file paths.

Returns:

the prefix

Since:

2.0

isDetectRenames

public boolean isDetectRenames()

Get if rename detection is enabled

Returns:

true if rename detection is enabled

setDetectRenames

public void setDetectRenames(boolean on)

Enable or disable rename detection. Before enabling rename detection the repository must be set with setRepository(Repository). Once enabled the detector can be configured away from its defaults by obtaining the instance directly from getRenameDetector() and invoking configuration.

Parameters:

on - if rename detection should be enabled.

getRenameDetector

public RenameDetector getRenameDetector()

Get rename detector

Returns:

the rename detector if rename detection is enabled

setProgressMonitor

public void setProgressMonitor(ProgressMonitor pm)

Set the progress monitor for long running rename detection.

Parameters:

pm - progress monitor to receive rename detection status through.

setQuotePaths

public void setQuotePaths(boolean quote)

Sets whether or not path names should be quoted.

By default the setting of git config core.quotePath is active, but this can be overridden through this method.

Parameters:

quote - whether to quote path names

Since:

5.6

setPathFilter

public void setPathFilter(TreeFilter filter)

Set the filter to produce only specific paths. If the filter is an instance of FollowFilter, the filter path will be updated during successive scan or format invocations. The updated path can be obtained from getPathFilter().

Returns:

the current path filter

flush
