Hi, thanks for the idea, it's surely useful in many cases, but it can look confusing on source code too. For example on git b3256eb8b in path.c one part of the diff is - if (!access(used_path, F_OK)) { + if (!stat(used_path, &st) && + (S_ISREG(st.st_mode) || + (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) && is_git_directory(used_path)))) { and "git diff --word-diff-regex=." shows if (![-acces-]s{+tat+}(used_path, [-F-]{+&st) &&+} {+ (S+}_[-OK-]{+ISREG(st.st_mode) ||+} {+ (S_ISDIR(st.st_mode) && is_git_directory(used_path))+})) { -- Piotr Krukowiecki -- 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
