There was a recent discussion here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192719 where two similar options were considered: 1. diff.algorithm should be added, and consider "minimal" to be a variant algorithm 2. we should have a generic "diff options" config variable, in which one could put "--minimal", "--patience", or whatever. I don't think anything was decided, but either option would remove the need for a separate diff.minimal variable. Maybe it would be worth combining efforts. -Peff PS I like the generality of (2), but the idea of diff defaults came up a few years ago, and I remember it devolving into quite a complex patch. But that may also just have been the patch submitter, who seemed very interested in complexifying things. I can dig up the discussion if you want. -- 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
