So I can see two ways to fix this: - bug Paul about alternate diff viewing capabilities in gitk. He's cc'd here. A way to make the "diff" pane show just the new one, the old one, or even both side-by-side with some mousy interface? - add some actual switch to git diff generation to hide the negative side of a unified diff, and add some way to just make gitk pass that switch in. I dunno. I realize that it's not just gitk - gitweb, qgit etc don't allow the tricks *either*, but gitk was the one I just hit this with.
Currently in qgit you can select a revision + a file and call an external diff viewer, as example Kompare (tweakable from 'Edir->settings->External diff viewer' menu) to view the diff side-by-side, or in any other way the viewer allows, for the selected file. I like also the idea to hide the negative side but I would rather prefer a togglable command/button instead of a command line argument or a setting, so to allow easy and quick hide/unhide on the same patch. I will work on it..... ;-) Thanks for idea Marco - 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
