[PATCH v4 1/5] rebase -i: add --ignore-whitespace flag

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

 



From: Rohit Ashiwal <rohit.ashiwal265@xxxxxxxxx>

Rebase is implemented with two different backends - 'apply' and 'merge'
each of which support a different set of options. In particuar the apply
backend supports a number of options implemented by 'git am' that are
not available to the merge backend. As part of an on going effort to
remove the apply backend this patch adds support for the
--ignore-whitespace option to the merge backend. This option treats
lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged and is implemented in
the merge backend by translating it to -Xignore-space-change.

 --ignore-whitespace::
+	Ignore whitespace differences when trying to reconcile
+differences. Currently, each backend implements an approximation of
+this behavior:
++
+apply backend: When applying a patch, ignore changes in whitespace in
+context lines. Unfortunately, this means that if the "old" lines being
+replaced by the patch differ only in whitespace from the existing
+file, you will get a merge conflict instead of a successful patch
+application.
++
+merge backend: Treat lines with only whitespace changes as unchanged
+when merging. Unfortunately, this means that any patch hunks that were
+intended to modify whitespace and nothing else will be dropped, even
+if the other side had no changes that conflicted.
