[PATCH] diff: add --ignore-blank-lines option

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

 



The goal of the patch is to introduce the GNU diff
-B/--ignore-blank-lines as closely as possible. The short option is not
available because it's already used for "break-rewrites".

When this option is used, git-diff will not create hunks that simply
add or remove empty lines, but will still show empty lines
addition/suppression if they are close enough to "valuable" changes.

There are two differences between this option and GNU diff -B option:
- GNU diff doesn't have "--inter-hunk-context", so this must be handled
- The following sequence looks like a bug (context is displayed twice):

    $ seq 5 >file1
    $ cat <<EOF >file2
    change
    1
    2

    3
    4
    5
    change
    EOF
    $ diff -u -B file1 file2
    --- file1	2013-06-08 22:13:04.471517834 +0200
    +++ file2	2013-06-08 22:13:23.275517855 +0200

    @@ -3,3 +5,4 @@
     3
     4
     5
    +change

So here is a more thorough description of the option:
- real changes are interesting
- blank lines that are close enough (less than context size) to
interesting changes are considered interesting (recursive definition)
- "context" lines are used around each hunk of interesting changes
- If two hunks are separated by less than "inter-hunk-context", they
will be merged into one.

The current implementation does the "interesting changes selection" in a
single pass.

Hey,
OK I think this version should be fine (I don't have any bug that comes
to mind).
Please review the "between changes" test as I made a choice there that can
be controversial.

Thanks,
Antoine
