Hi, I think that: 1. git-status should accept -M<n> -C<n>, same as git-diff 2. git-diff should have an option to omit diff for deleted files 1. git-status incorrectly recognizes some changes as copied, e.g.: # Changes to be committed: # copied: SimpleMatcher.h -> BSlashMatcher.h # copied: SimpleMatcher.h -> StringMatcher.h # renamed: SimpleMatcher.h -> TabMatcher.h (generally SimpleMatcher.h is recognized as being copied into many different headers) git-diff shows similarity index 50-60%. git-diff -M80 -C80 correctly stops recognizing this as copies/renames. I think git-status also should learn -M and -C, as it works the same way as git-diff with defaults. 2. git-diff does not show diff for copied files. But when a files is removed, the diff is shown. I think seeing what was deleted is sometimes useful, but sometimes it is not and just clutters the diff. -- Piotrek -- 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
