Noticed-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> --- There is no "ignore-any" supported by the feature---I think that the parser for the option should have noticed and barfed, but it did not. It merely emitted a message to the standard output and let it scroll away with the huge diff before the reader noticed it. Addressed in this patch. Am I missing something [...] ? Note that this parsing is used for both the parsing from command line as well as options, i.e. git config diff.colorMovedWS asdf git format-patch HEAD^ fatal: ignoring unknown color-moved-ws mode 'asdf' git config --unset diff.colorMovedWS (format-patch parses these color specific things, but doesn't apply it) diff.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c index 145cfbae59..bdf4535d69 100644 --- a/diff.c +++ b/diff.c @@ -313,7 +313,7 @@ static int parse_color_moved_ws(const char *arg) else if (!strcmp(sb.buf, "allow-indentation-change")) ret |= COLOR_MOVED_WS_ALLOW_INDENTATION_CHANGE; else - error(_("ignoring unknown color-moved-ws mode '%s'"), sb.buf); + die(_("ignoring unknown color-moved-ws mode '%s'"), sb.buf); strbuf_release(&sb); } -- 2.19.0
