Is there any reason then that this wouldn't work (it certainly seems to, but I don't want to be causing invisible problems that will come back later)? You seemed to outline a much more complex procedure in your original mail. run_diff_index(); discard_cache(); ... run_diff_files(); I'd like to go with this simple solution at first for the C runstatus, and then hopefully move to simultaneous diffing later. -Peff - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
