Instead of just showing not-quite-helpful SHA-1 pairs display the first lines of the corresponding commit messages in the submodule (similar to the output of 'git submodule summary'). Signed-off-by: Jens Lehmann <Jens.Lehmann@xxxxxx> --- This patch applies to 'next' and uses the new --submodule option of git diff to achieve a more meaningful output of submodule differences in gitk. Any objections against making this the default? (for those interested: a version of git gui with similar functionality is available in 'master' of Shawn's repo but not yet merged). gitk-git/gitk | 23 +++++++++++++++++++---- 1 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitk-git/gitk b/gitk-git/gitk index a0214b7..5e2572d 100644 --- a/gitk-git/gitk +++ b/gitk-git/gitk @@ -7207,7 +7207,7 @@ proc diffcmd {ids flags} { if {$i >= 0} { if {[llength $ids] > 1 && $j < 0} { # comparing working directory with some specific revision - set cmd [concat | git diff-index $flags] + set cmd [concat | git diff-index --submodule $flags] if {$i == 0} { lappend cmd -R [lindex $ids 1] } else { @@ -7215,13 +7215,13 @@ proc diffcmd {ids flags} { } } else { # comparing working directory with index - set cmd [concat | git diff-files $flags] + set cmd [concat | git diff-files --submodule $flags] if {$j == 1} { lappend cmd -R } } } elseif {$j >= 0} { - set cmd [concat | git diff-index --cached $flags] + set cmd [concat | git diff-index --cached --submodule $flags] if {[llength $ids] > 1} { # comparing index with specific revision if {$i == 0} { @@ -7234,7 +7234,7 @@ proc diffcmd {ids flags} { lappend cmd HEAD } } else { - set cmd [concat | git diff-tree -r $flags $ids] + set cmd [concat | git diff-tree -r --submodule $flags $ids] } return $cmd } @@ -7481,6 +7481,21 @@ proc getblobdiffline {bdf ids} { set diffnparents [expr {[string length $ats] - 1}] set diffinhdr 0 + } elseif {![string compare -length 10 "Submodule " $line]} { + # start of a new submodule + if {[string compare [$ctext get "end - 4c" end] "\n \n\n"]} { + $ctext insert end "\n"; # Add newline after commit message + } + set curdiffstart [$ctext index "end - 1c"] + lappend ctext_file_names "" + set fname [string range $line 10 [expr [string last " " $line] - 1]] + lappend ctext_file_lines $fname + makediffhdr $fname $ids + $ctext insert end "\n$line\n" filesep + } elseif {![string compare -length 3 " >" $line]} { + $ctext insert end "$line\n" dresult + } elseif {![string compare -length 3 " <" $line]} { + $ctext insert end "$line\n" d0 } elseif {$diffinhdr} { if {![string compare -length 12 "rename from " $line]} { set fname [string range $line [expr 6 + [string first " from " $line] ] end] -- 1.6.5.2.182.g338ab.dirty -- 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
