[PATCH] diff: bugfix: binary file permission regression

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

 



Regression at 3e97c7c6af2901cec63bf35fcd43ae3472e24af8
"No diff -b/-w output for all-whitespace changes"

When a binary file's permission is modified, git status
reports the file as modified, but git diff shows nothing.

Add a test file too.
