GitPython parses the output of `git diff --numstat` to get the
files changed in a commit.
This breaks when a commit contains a file rename, because the output
of `git diff` is different than expected.
This is the output of a normal commit:
$ git diff --numstat 8f41a39^ 8f41a39
30 5 test/test_repo.py
And this a commit containing a rename:
$ git diff --numstat 185d847^ 185d847
3 1 .github/workflows/{test_pytest.yml => Future.yml}
This can be triggered by this code:
for commit in repo.iter_commits():
print(commit.hexsha)
for file in commit.stats.files:
print(file)
Which will print for the normal commit:
8f41a39
'test/test_repo.py'
And when there is a rename:
185d847
'.github/workflows/{test_pytest.yml => Future.yml}'
Additionally, when a path member is removed, the file list become
a list of strings, breaking even more the caller. This is in the
Linux kernel tree:
$ git diff --numstat db401875f438^ db401875f438
1 1 tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/mlxsw/{spectrum-2 => }/devlink_trap_tunnel_ipip6.sh
and GitPython parses it as:
db401875f438168c5804b295b93a28c7730bb57a
('tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/mlxsw/{spectrum-2 => '
'}/devlink_trap_tunnel_ipip6.sh')
Fix this by pasing the --no-renames option to `git diff` which ignores
renames and print the same output as if the file was deleted from the
old path and created in the new one:
$ git diff --numstat --no-renames 185d847^ 185d847
57 0 .github/workflows/Future.yml
0 55 .github/workflows/test_pytest.yml
