[PATCH v2 0/5] git log: configurable default format for merge diffs

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

 



These patches introduce capability to configure the default format of
output of diffs for merge commits by means of new log.diffMerges
configuration variable. The default format could be requested by the
new value "on" for --diff-merges option (--diff-merges=on).

Then -m and --diff-merges=m are also changed to use the default
format, in a backward compatible manner, as visible behavior doesn't
change unless user customizes log.diffMerges configuration.

In particular,

  git config log.diffMerges first-parent

will change -m option format from "separate" to "first-parent" that
will in turn cause, say,

  git show -m <merge_commit>

to output diff to the first parent only, instead of appending
typically large and surprising diff to the second parent at the end of
the output.

Updates in v2:

  * Renamed --diff-merges=default to --diff-merges=on. Junio didn't
    like the "default" here, and I agree. Dunno why I've even called
    it "default" in the first place.

Updates in v1:

  * Renamed abbreviated value "def" to full "default"

  * Fixed tests to use "test_config" instead of "git config"

  * Meld all "git config" changes into single commit that includes
    code, documentation, and tests, as they are mutually
    interdependent.
