java diffs show no method context

["Ulrich Windl" <Ulrich.Windl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

This is for git 2.13.6, and it may be an FAQ or frequent feature request. Anyway:
I'm new to Java, and writing my first project using Git, I found that "git diff" only reports the class in the diff context, but not the method (as seen for C, for example).
I'd wish to have the method where the diff is located. Here is an example chunk:


@@ -100,6 +119,8 @@ public class PdfParser {
        PdfObject obj, value;
        PdfObjectName name;
        for ( int pos = startIndex; pos < endIndex; pos += 2 ) {
+           if ( (obj = objects.get(pos)).type != PdfObject.Type.Name )
+               exception("Name expected");
            name = (PdfObjectName) obj;
            if ( pos + 1 == endIndex )
                exception("missing value");

The corrsponding definition of the method is like this:

    /**
     * Populate Dictionary with parsed objects
     * @param dict Dictionary to fill
     * @param startIndex Position of first item to add
     * @param endIndex Position of first item not to add
     */
    private void populateDictionary(PdfObjectDictionary dict, int startIndex, in
t endIndex)
    {
