How does this compare with Tim Henigan's "diffall"? I think the problem these two topics try to address is the same, and their approach may be similar enough that having one consolidated effort might be worth it. I seem to have suggested during the previous review round of this series the same thing I suggested to Tim, that we _might_ want to instead have the logic to populate the two temporary trees on the core side with a new external diff interface. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/184458/focus=184462 -- 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
