[PATCH] add-interactive: handle deletion of empty files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Usually we show deletion as a big hunk deleting all of the
file's text. However, for files with no content, the diff
shows just the 'deleted file mode ...' line. This patch
cause "add -p" (and related commands) to recognize that line
and explicitly ask about deleting the file.

We only add the "stage this deletion" hunk for empty files,
since other files will already ask about the big content
deletion hunk. We could also change those files to simply
display "stage this deletion", but showing the actual
deleted content is probably what an interactive user wants.

This bit me today. I expect it's pretty rare, but I don't see a reason
not to handle the corner case (and nor do I see a reason to change the
non-corner case, as explained above).
