As a band-aid, we could do something like the attached patch, but for the longer term, we might need to rethink the way the tweaking of the command line is done by $patch_mode_revision. -- >8 -- Subject: add -i: add extra options at the right place in "diff" command line Appending "--diff-algorithm=histogram" at the end of canned command line for various modes of "diff" is correct for most of them but not for "stash" that has a non-option already wired in, like so: 'stash' => { DIFF => 'diff-index -p HEAD', Appending an extra option after non-option may happen to work due to overly lax command line parser, but that is not something we should rely on. Instead, splice in the extra argument immediately after a '-p' option, which is an option to ask for textual diff output that has to be in all variants.
