Hi,
I'm trying to diff the header files between two version of a repo, to
do an ABI review, but get too many diffs from 'similar copy', which
makes the review hard. These are generally unrelated files, but due to
large copyright header, and spaces, the actual changes are not large
enough to be detected as new files. I'd therefore like to turn off
copy detection completely, or at least set some kind of threshold
before a file is considered a copy in the diff.
Doing a 'git diff origin/4.5..origin/4.6 -- src/corelib' gives me this
excerpt:
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/tools/qtimeline.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qabstractanimation.h
similarity index 58%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/kernel/qsystemsemaphore.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qanimationgroup.h
similarity index 63%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/kernel/qsystemsemaphore.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qparallelanimationgroup.h
similarity index 63%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/io/qresource_iterator_p.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qpauseanimation.h
similarity index 68%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/kernel/qsystemsemaphore.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qpropertyanimation.h
similarity index 60%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/kernel/qsystemsemaphore.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qsequentialanimationgroup.h
similarity index 55%
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/animation/qvariantanimation.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/animation/qvariantanimation.h
new file mode 100644
...
diff --git origin/4.5/src/corelib/arch/qatomic_arch.h
origin/4.6/src/corelib/arch/qatomic_arch.h
index 52ab101..548a5e9 100644
So, not even related. They should really had shown up as new files,
IMO. (I guess git stores the creation of the file as a delta of the
indicated 'copy', but in this case I don't care about that :)
Thanks!
