[PATCH 0/9 v6] difftool: teach command to perform directory diffs

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

 



Changes in v6:
  - Rebased series to insure Getopt::Long worked correctly from the start.
  - Squashed commits that added tests into the commits that added the
    new features.

Series Overview:

'git difftool' is a very useful command that allows git diffs to be opened
in an external tool. Currently, difftool opens a separate instance of the
external tool for each file that changed.  This can be tedious when many
files have changed.

This series teaches difftool to perform directory diffs, so that all file
changes can be opened/reviewed in a single instance of the external tool.

This is the second phase of development for this feature.  The first phase
was added as a separate command (git diffall) in 1252bbe (contrib: add
git-diffall script).  During review of that script on the Git developers
list, an informal development roadmap was suggested [1]. The next phase
of that plan is to integrate the 'git-diffall' feature into 'difftool'.
This series gets that done.
