This series of patches converts the run_status function from git-commit.sh to a C builtin. Hopefully we can use this as a starting point for further improvements (the only feature I added was colorization). I haven't had a chance to look closely at the simultaneous traversal code in pu, but that would be the nice next place to take this concept. Patch 1/3 adds the necessary diff callback infrastructure, which may be of value regardless of whether the final patch is accepted. Patch 2/3 lib-ifies the diff color support so it can be reused by run-status. Again, I think this is worth doing anyway from a code cleanup standpoint. Patch 3/3 does the actual conversion. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
