And I was right X-<. This does break the assumption the recent
diff.context series makes.
What happens is that
- init_revisions() initializes revs->grep_filter; that is why this
patch wanted to call it first, so that it can futz with it
from git_config().
- however, init_revisions() also calls diff_setup(), and the
diff machinery initializes revs->diffopt->context from
diff_context_default. Compiled in default of this value is 3,
but the diff.context series wants to update this variable with
the configuration before this call happens.
So we would need to do something like:
- call git_log_config() first to let diff_context_default
updated from the configuration as before. find the values of
grep.* defaults at the same time, but stash it away in a
separate "struct grep_opt" (yuck);
- call init_revisions() and let it initialize revs->grep_filter
and revs->diffopt as before;
- copy the grep.* defaults we learned during git_log_config() to
revs->grep_filter.
which is a bit yucky, but survivable.
I'll fix these two patches up later.
