I forgot to mention that testing submodule_format_cfg would have to happen in cmd_diff() (between reading the config and parsing the command line options) instead of builtin_diff(). Something like this should do the trick (untested): diff --git a/builtin/diff.c b/builtin/diff.c index 9650be2..180bf44 100644 --- a/builtin/diff.c +++ b/builtin/diff.c @@ -297,6 +297,9 @@ int cmd_diff(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix DIFF_OPT_SET(&rev.diffopt, ALLOW_EXTERNAL); DIFF_OPT_SET(&rev.diffopt, ALLOW_TEXTCONV); + if (submodule_format_cfg && !strcmp(submodule_format_cfg, "log")) + DIFF_OPT_SET(options, SUBMODULE_LOG); + if (nongit) die(_("Not a git repository")); argc = setup_revisions(argc, argv, &rev, NULL); -- 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
