[PATCH 1/3] patch-id: make it stable against hunk reordering

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

 



Patch id changes if you reorder hunks in a diff.
As the result is functionally equivalent, this is surprising to many
people.
In particular, reordering hunks is helpful to make patches
more readable (e.g. API header diff before implementation diff).

Change patch-id behaviour making it stable against
hunk reodering:
	- prepend header to each hunk (if not there)
	- calculate SHA1 hash for each hunk separately
	- sum all hashes to get patch id

Add a new flag --unstable to get the historical behaviour.

Add --stable which is a nop, for symmetry.
