Sorry; I had set diff.noprefix=true, not realizing that it would affect things like "git format-patch". It also confused emacs' magit mode, and probably some other tools. It's now set permanently back to false. The reason I was experimenting with this option is that it is a quick double-click to select a filename like "foo/bar" in the diff output, whereas selecting the filename out of "a/foo/bar" requires a slower click and drag. Once I considered whether git could be taught to explicitly ignore the "[ab]/" prefix when parsing filenames, but that is too evil even for me :-) Michael -- Michael Haggerty mhagger@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://softwareswirl.blogspot.com/ -- 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
