Hm, what problems do you see here? The purpose of my patch is have the same kind of output from git status and, after commit, git show. I cannot find a good reason for git status to behave there differently, but I am interested to see where I am wrong. On the other hand, one could a configuration option to the diff.* family for controlling that toggle also. Greetings, Eckhard
