[PATCH v3 0/8] Better heuristics make prettier diffs

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

 



This is v3 of the diff-indent-heuristic patch series. Thanks to René,
Junio, and Ramsay for their comments about v2 [1,2].

The heuristic itself hasn't changed since v2. Most of the changes are
in the tests and in how `git blame` is wired up to support the new
options. Changes since v1:

* In "diff: improve positioning of add/delete blocks in diffs":

  * Make `score_cmp()` static.

  * Add test t4059 as part of this commit, not as part of its
    successor.

  * t4059: Create commits to use for the tests (rather than diffing
    loose files with `--no-cache`), so that the same prep can be used
    to test `git blame`. Split the tests into multiple smaller tests.

  * Add a test that `--no-indent-heuristic` overrides the config.

* Add a new commit "parse-options: add parse_opt_unknown_cb()":

  * Allow "-h" help text to be generated for options even if they are
    being handled by code external to `parse_options()`.

  If there's already a way to do this, I didn't find it.

* In "blame: honor the diff heuristic options and config":

  * In v2, I suggested making `blame` honor all diff-related options.
    Junio explained why this was a bad idea. So this version only
    makes `blame` honor `--indent-heuristic` and
    `--compaction-heuristic`.

  * Add some smoke tests.
