Re: [PATCH 00/18] Add `branch-diff`, a `tbdiff` lookalike

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

 



I've been using both branch-diff and tbdiff while comparing rerolled
topics before accepting them.  One obvious difference between the
two is that the speed to compute pairing is quite different but that
is expected ;-)

Another difference that is somewhat irritating is that a SP that
leads a context line in a diff hunk that is introduced in the newer
iteration is often painted in reverse, and I do not know what aspect
of that single SP on these lines the branch-diff wants to pull my
attention to.

In the picture, the three pre-context lines that are all indented by
a HT are prefixed by a SP, and that is prefixed by a '+' sign of the
outer diff.

We can use --dual-color mode to unsee these but it is somewhat
frustrating not to know what the branch-diff program wants to tell
me by highlighting the single SPs on these lines.

Thanks.
